Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Twilight screamed as she was reading the paper “Ponyville, why Ponyville, all my plans were for Cloudsdale to hold this year’s Summer Sun Celebration, we even had cloud-walking talismans made in preparation for this event!”

Spike rolled his eyes as he walked in “You still panicking we got 6 months, Celestia wouldn’t you have trusted you with this if you couldn’t handle it, just take a deep breath and relax.”

Twilight slumped over “Urghh sorry it’s just Blueblood has dancing lessons for me which I am not looking forward to and…”

The heard a loud shout shake the very castle “Have at thee Griffons I’m coming for you!”

Spike smashed his head into the table “Sweet Celestia why?!”

Fizzlepop rolled her eyes as she walked in “Don’t be so harsh, sure he is a little eccentric but he’s not that bad.”

Sunburst groaned levitating additional papers for Twilight “Urghh speak for yourself, he has disturbed my sleep on multiple occasions because of a dragon attack or a griffin raid or another incursion on our nation.”

Fizzlepop frowned “Would rather have the old Blueblood back, at least he is helping instead of hurting.”

Sunburst shrugged “True I suppose, now if you two excuse me me and Twilight have a lot of work to do.”

Spike nodded “That’s fine, we were going to join Celestia for lunch.”

Twilight smiled “Enjoy yourselves.”

Fizzlepop nodded “We will.” Fizzlepop and Spike walked out of the room leaving Twilight and Sunburst to continue their work, they continue through the hallways guards nodded to the pair as they walk past.

They enter the room to see several nobles sitting around, Fizzlepop and Spike grimaced as see two blue unicorns with pale blue and azure manes sitting at the table. Fizzlepop sits down Spike standing behind as she wore on a small smile “Princess I see you have some esteemed guests with you.”

The stallion speaks “I am Lord Lulamoon, my wife is Lady Lulamoon and we came here to speak privately with the Princess.”

Fizzlepop grimaced “If this is about the “mare in the moon” I know enough to be involved.”

Spike frowned “It’s about that is it, I’m not leaving my mother’s side.”

Lady Lulamoon frowned “Very well.”

Lord Lulamoon turned to Celestia “I implore you Princess, when Nightmare Moon returns I beg of you surrender.”

Spike growled “You speak of…”

Fizzlepop raised a hoof “Enough Spike, let me handle this!” Spike nodded in response, Fizzlepop turned to the two Lulamoons “I have seen your Queen’s form, it may have been an illusion but a perfectly crafted one, Nightmare Moon is naught but a filly who has a thousand years of hatred and pain not her own thrust upon her, she is no more fit to run Equestria then a filly who has not learned yet to speak.”

Lord Lulamoon growled “You dare insult our..”

Celestia roared “Enough, I don’t keep you despite your worship of Nightmare Moon in my counsel so you can mouth off, I keep you in it because I don’t trust you! As the old adage goes ‘keep you friends close and your enemies closer’ I have been watching your movements for years in order to prevent you mustering any support for you master, now get out of my sight!”

The two nobles galloped out the room as fast as their hooves could carry them, Celestia winced “I may have gone too far.”

Fizzlepop shrugged “Nonsense those two learned their place well enough for now we must prepare for the the Summer Sun Celebration” she chuckled “I must say you flustered Twilight with the last minute change.”

Celestia frowned “I know it’s a last minute change but I need the celebration close to Canterlot this year” She grimaced internally (This will be my last celebration for a long time I fear.)

Spike smiled “So who wants to go get some donuts, that was far too serious for my liking so let’s go out and relax.”

Celestia smiled “Gladly.”

Fizzlepop smiled “Let’s go, dealing with nobles makes me hungry.” Celestia giggled as trotted after them enjoying what little time she has left.
