"AH! Finally done!", Celestia's maid squealed with delight at managing to clean the Royal throne. Uh, not that throne... that throne.

Suddenly, Princess Celestia burst in slamming the door so hard that she knocked over her favorite tanning spray, spilling the liquid all over the newly-cleaned toilet seat. The maid let out a hefty sigh and began cleaning yet again. As she picked up the tanning spray, she noticed the brand.

Flim and Flam's probably non-cancerous skin darkening liquid.

"Guess we better prepare a Princess Luna throne", she muttered. Celestia squinted threateningly at the maid. Her eyes just screamed 'moon'. "Heh... sorry, Princess...", her maid quivered.

"I'll take the next toilet, if you don't mind. I'm not in the mood for a plot tan", Celestia walked off snootily.

Celestia prodded out of the toilet. The honest truth was that the only reason she went in was to tan herself. In the Winter, her coat blended in to the snow; so this year she decided to tan herself. But obviously that wouldn't happen. "Might as well finish up planning for this Christmas party", she thought, and then finally beamed at seeing it was almost done.

"Brilliant job all of you!", Celestia announced for the whole castle to hear. The chandeliers were adorned with reflective glass snowflakes. An array of foods were displayed across a banquet table. Sparkling water flowed out of a fountain for all the guests to drink, and separate tables were just arranged for special ponies to sit at. Countess Coloratura, Sapphire Shores, Hoity Toity, Daring Do; all are going to be here!

But then, how come after an hours wait... nopony was here?

Celestia let out a huge sigh. The party started half an hour ago and nopony had come. Celestia quickly caught eye of a maid about to leave the castle. "You there!", she called out. The maid jumped slightly, but turned around.

"Yes, Princess?", she bowed.

"Get up, get up. Did you issue the invitation to EVERYpony?".

"I'm sure of it, Your Highness. We visited every house... twice".

"Hmm... ok".

As the maid was about to leave, Celestia called out, "WAIT!".

"Yes?"

"Where are you going?"

"..."

"And where are all the guards?"

"..."

"And where is my sister?"

"Eurrrrr"

"..."

As the maid ran as fast as lightning to escape the Princess, she flew out after her. But as she slammed open the doors that were so rudely shut in her face, she noticed bright violent flashing lights in the sky. All coming from a certain... hive.

Celestia paced around her Palace for awhile. "How could every pony in Equestria be at Queen Chrysallis party instead of MINE!?". Celestia jumped when a strange cross-eyed pony burst in through the doors with a lamp shade on her head shouting, "WOOO! PARTAY! YAY!", bumping into almost every decoration on the ground, such as the 50 foot Christmas tree. Honestly, I wouldn't have expected her to have survived it falling on- What? OH! I'm not real! I'm not a real person! I'm just a narrator! I'm... I'm a figment of your imagination. Yeah. Anyway.

"Excuse me... whoever you are, this is a sophisticated celebration. There is no PARTAYING here!", Celestia scolded.

"Oh. This is the boring one. Bye!", the pony then flew off shakily, crashing right into one of the Hive's windows followed by a cheer of "WOOOOOOOO!".

Celestia blushed shamefully as she had chased away the only person who wanted to set hoof in her castle. Luckily, her most boring and stern guard was always there to help her.

"Why are there so many people over there", whined Celestia.

"Fun, Your Highness", he answered.

"FUN?", Celestia shouted in an offended manner, "I'M FUN! THIS", she gestured to the decorations, "IS THE VERY ESSENCE OF FUN!".

"I'm sorry to tell you this, Your Highness, but the only thing more boring than this party is me".

"..."

"Sorry, Your Highness"

Celestia was devastated. How could somepony even DARE to go to an Evil Queen Christmas party than a kind-hearted, rich and beautiful Queen's party such as her. At least, that's what she thinks.

In truth, her subjects actually look up to Twilight Sparkle more than hers. A pony's got a problem? Well, you don't see anyone shouting 'Celestia! Help us!'. Instead, you hear, 'Look! It's Twilight Sparkle!', because, somehow, she's always there to save the day. And this time, Twilight convinced all the ponies she could find to go to Queen Chrysalis' Christmas party because apparently, this is the first party she's actually allowing all of Equestria to go to.

Chrysalis always had the best parties, and everypony knew it. Well, Celestia didn't know it. She stayed inside watching Netflix all day until she got a letter from Princess Twilight. Ponies dreaded that they had to attend Celestia's party instead of Chrysalis' most famous, and certainly best, parties ever.

Celestia was in distress! She didn't know how to make her parties better than Chrysalis! Nobody knew! Mostly because Chrysalis saved her money to blow at the end of the year. Unlike Celestia, who spent money on dragon eggs to test her (very much failing) students. In all honesty, the bigger waste of money would be the dragon eggs. Celestia scrambled through her belongings for any money that hadn't been spent on dragon eggs or hadn't been saved in Luna's private bank to prevent Celestia's impulsive dragon egg purchasing. None. No money whatsoever.

"That's it", Celestia scowled. "You!", she turned to the guard. She took off her crown, necklace, and shoes and flung them at the guard as she strode towards the door. "Put those in my room".

"I've got a party to crash".

HELLO READER.

Hi. This is but a prologue to the story that is to come. I hope the idea of it appeals you greatly. I'm gonna be writing the next part to this soon. I'm going to try to get this done either before or by Christmas. This is sort of like a Christmas special story. So I hope you enjoy this and I hope you're not uncomfortable with Celestia acting "out of character".

And honestly, if Chrysalis tried, I think she could throw some awesome parties. So just wait to find out just what kind of parties she throws!
