“Well hello there Blueblood,” Celestia said with a role of her eyes. This must have been the sixth time this week her nephew had come to court with something.

“Auntie, I know what you’ve said about Discord, but I think you need to do something about him,” Prince Blueblood said. “I didn’t think it was necessary, but for the past few weeks he has been causing considerable damages to the homes of Canterlots nobles. The kitchens, gardens, and numerous other things all need repairs and we just need the bits to make them… so, um, please give us some.”

Celestia sighed as she heard this, knowing immediately where it was going and how much of a lie that all was. It was typical of the nobles to try and ask for tax cuts and money and all of that stuff, but the biggest thing they shared beyond greed was that they all were bad liers. Yes, perhaps Discord did mess with the nobility of Equestria to no end but he was reformed (at least that’s what Celestia had to keep telling herself) and she believed that would keep him from causing mayhem on the level Blueblood was describing. Besides, Celestia would have known herself if damage had been done to such a large amount of the building right next to Canterlot Castle.

“Blueblood, I think we need to talk,” Celestia said, putting down the list of ponies that were suppose to visit her today. “You know what I think you need right now? Some sort of hobby, because I am getting pretty tired of your constant requests for money. How many times have you visited this week about the same exact thing?”

“I wouldn’t have to keep coming if you just gave us the money that we are searching for!” Blueblood responded. “The nobility for a long time now has been looking for the money to keep up with the trends and some the houses, especially the blueblood household, has been falling behind. If I don’t do something about it than my house will become a laughing stock!”

“And have you at all thought about using your own bits?” Celestia asked.

“But…” Blueblood stammered, trying to finish. “But auntie, that’s my money.”

Celestia couldn’t help but facehoof at that sentence, knowing full well that it was the only answer she could have realistically expected.

“Listen Blueblood,” She said, her voice so monotone that she sounded more bored than disappointed. “The answer is no. That’s what it was when you asked about this yesterday, and the day before, and when you come to me tomorrow asking for the same thing it will still. Be. NO!”

“Auntie, plea-”

Blueblood wouldn’t be allowed to finish that sentence, as some unknown voice suddenly called from absolutely nowhere.

“Look out!”

Celestia looked around the room for who had suddenly spoken up, but found nothing out of the ordinary. Blueblood was in the center of the room, also looking around nervously, while two guards stood guard at the throne room door. Next to her was Raven Inkwell, like always, busy looking over today's schedule like normal. Celestia didn’t recognize the voice, and was sure that it was not any of the ponies who were already in the room with her. The only other place it could have come from was outside the room, but no way could any normal pony yell through thick marble and stone.

That train of thought quickly came to an end when, without warning, something crashed through the roof of the throne room. Dust kicked up as pieces of marble hit the ground, causing those standing in the room to cough. When it cleared, Celestia quickly made sure that everyone was okay, seeing that the only one who wasn’t unharmed was Blueblood, but it wasn’t the marble that had landed on top of him. Instead, Celestia was surprised to find what looked to be a human girl in a white and purple coat and knee high blue and white striped socks. Under her was Blueblood, knocked out cold from the impact with his eyes closed in the shape of x’s.

Play me

“Oowie, that was not fun in the slightest,” The girl said, rubbing her head with a smile on her face, eyes closed. “You know, I would have to say that was probably down there as one of my worst landings to date. Usually I end up in a forest or the sidewalk, but who would have guess that I would land in a castle. Now, where did I end up this time?”

“Excuse me miss,” Celestia called, her eyes meeting dark purple ones. “You are kind of on-

“Oh, thank goodness there is actual society this time around,” The girl stated as she got up off of Blueblood, interrupting the princess in the process. “I mean, yeah, it’s a little weird that you are all horses, but that is still much better than the first individual you meet wanting to eat you.”

“I was going to say that you are on my nephew but… never mind,” Celestia said, dismissing the unconscious stallion. She could deal with him after this sudden and abrupt guest was dealt with. “Would you mind telling me your name, miss?”

“Oh come on, I’m sure you know who I am,” The girl replied, standing proud in the middle of the throne room. “I mean, I’ve ended up in so many parallel dimension that I’m sure there's no one who has heard of me. I am the protag of protags, one-time amnesiac, and CPU of Planeptune, Neptune! Please hold your applause, they are unneeded, and I am hear to do whatever the plot called me here to do!”

There was no response to what the girl, Neptune, had said. Celestia had known humans, having had the mirror to the human Equestria in her castle for many years, but something about this girl seemed different. She did her best to try and see if any of the human’s she had met had matched this girl, but she came up blank.

“I’m sorry Neptune, but it seems that I have no idea of who you are,” Celestia responded.

“Yeah, good one there, as if I haven’t heard that joke before,” Neptune replied, still proud and standing strong. That all quickly changed as no response came from the rest of the room, as the so-called ‘CPU’ quickly became shocked. “Wait, you can’t be serious. You’re telling me that you have no idea who I am? But I’ve been accidentally dropped into so many dimensions that I thought it was near impossible for no one to know me,” Neptune gasped as something came to her mind. “Wait, that can’t mean… did I end up in a western cartoon!”

“Celestia?” Raven whispered to the princess, seeming worried about what was going on in front of her.

“Just let it all register, Raven, then we’ll deal with everything else.” Celestia assured her aide.

“But how is that possible? It should be impossible for me to end up in a realm like this unless,” The shock suddenly disappeared from Neptune’s face as something dawned on her. “Oh, you are very sneaky mister writer, thinking you could get away with this without me realizing it. Is this all because you screwed up big time on that Pokemon story you so adamantly thought up in a minute?” Celestia watched as Neptune pointed at no one, talking to the thin air. “Act like you don’t exist, but I see right through your ruse. You know, I was suppose to be going on a bug catching trip with my older self, but here I am. You must be really desperate if you have to someone as cool and awesome as me.”

“Miss Neptune, who in the world are you talking to?” Celestia asked, not having the fourth wall breaking powers that Neptune had. “Can’t you tell that we were in the middle of court.”

“Ooh, court!” Nep replied with enthusiasm. “What happened? Did someone steal a sweet roll? Was there a murder? Well I can tell you one thing miss horse lady, one thing that I am absolutely sure of,” Neptune than proceed to point at Celestia with confidence. “When in doubt, always blame the butler.”

“Not that kind of court,” Celestia explained. “I am Princess Celestia of Equestria, and you are currently interrupting day court. Here I listen to my dear ponies needs and concerns about the welfare of my country.”

“Oh, you are a ruler? Then you must be this dimensions CPU,” Neptune said, quickly scanning Celestia from top to bottom. “I must say, for a CPU you really do have that coolness factor about you.”

Celestia, much to her surprise, felt a metaphorical knife suddenly pierce her heart at those words. She had no idea what a CPU was, but if it was a ruler of some kind like Neptune was saying, than that means she was just called uncool. Celestia felt that same knife turn the more she thought about it, as if all the sudden reality was crashing around her and a horrible truth, one that she couldn’t stop. She, Princess of Equestria, who thought for so long she had managed to keep up with times, was just called uncool by this new arrival. She had no idea exactly what that meant in the long run, but something about it hurt her in a way she didn’t even knew she could be.

“I-I’m… uncool?” Celestia asked.

“I mean, compared to me and all the other CPU’s you look so much more… bland, though maybe that’s because you currently aren’t HDD?” Neptune explained, though her words were lost on Celestia, who was just staring off into the distance. “I don’t really know much about this dimension, and it will probably take Histy around three days to find me anyways, so I can try and fix that later. I’m more interested in just exploring what this new dimension is anyways,”

With that, Neptune made her way to the door. The throne room was once again silent, the guards being the only noise as the escorted the unconscious Blueblood to a guest room in the castle. Raven, looked to Celestia, who seemed frozen in fear about something she couldn’t understand. She had never seen the princess react in such a way to somepony insulting her, and had believed there was no way to cause this kind of reaction. Not only had this Neptune person just proved her wrong, but had done it within minutes of arriving from wherever she had been.

“Your majesty, is everything alright?” Raven asked.

“Raven, I think I’m going to go to bed early.” Celestia said, getting up from her seat. “Also, please send a message to Twilight, I think things are about to get crazy.”

“But-” Before Raven could finished Celestia teleported away. “It’s only noon.”

Author's Note

So... I think it should be mentioned that this is something I wrote out of sheer boredom, though part of it was also because I had kinda failed with the original intent of a previous story of mine. The purpose of that story was to be something silly and cute, but it kinda went off the deep end quickly and I felt I needed to do something to keep that from happening again.

Thus, why there really isn't a story outside of Nep and Co. chilling out in Equestria. The Neptunia series is one I've only gotten into in the past two years, partly due to Lost Pause, but my god did it's lighthearted nature and silly characters immediately touch my heart. So, with that said, it's time for Nep to nep her way into Equestria's heart.

Also, don't worry about Celestia, I'm sure she will get over it.
