YOU PONIES ARE LUCKY IDIOTS!

"Starlight," Party Favor said, a painfully forced grin on his face as he approached the leader of Our Town in the middle of the street.

"Yes Party Favor," Starlight said, a small smile on her face. An acute observer would notice the smile wasn't reaching her eyes.

"Um, instead of taking away cutie marks to enforce equality among ponies," Party Favor said, the smile becoming more brittle, "maybe we could, I don't know, demand and lobby for economic and social reforms that end the privileges of the nobility and replace the guilds with a free market economy based on fair competition."

"Why Party Favor," Starlight said happily, "that is a wonderful idea."

"Really?"

"Yes," Starlight said, her smile becoming paternalistic. "In fact, I'm gonna put it right on the top of my refrigerator so I'll see it everyday."

"Really," Party Favor said.

"Anything for you, my best buddy," Starlight said.

Starlight returned to her cabin late at night. Shutting the door, she let out a happy smile.

"Well, I've done a good job of ensuring a better society," Starlight said. "I deserve a treat." She reached out and pulled out a box of the fanciest Canterlot chocolates on the market, biting into them.

"I truly represent the common pony," she said, as she inhaled the chocolates and put on her overpriced Saddle Arabian silk gown.

"Of course, most ponies like Party Favor have silly ideas," she said as she rested her head on her custom griffin feather bed and pillow. "So they need a smart pony like me to lead them into equality."

"Ha Ha Ha," Starlight she, as she galloped away with the cutie marks of the bearers, "I will ensure those ponies will never-,"

BAM!

Starlight fell to the ground, her head in throbbing agony. To her horror, her horn had been blown off with blood flowing from the stump. She saw that the jars she was carrying broke, releasing the cutie marks of those annoying ponies.

She heard fluttering above her head, and saw the yellow Fluttershy hovering above her with Party Favor on her back, shotgun in hoof.

"Hey Starlight," Fluttershy said as she lowered herself and Party Favor to the ground. "What's happening?"

"Please don't kill me," Starlight said, pleading for mercy. "I didn't mean any harm."

"You locked the Princess of Harmony in captivity, held ponies against their will, and used forbidden magic," Fluttershy said.

"But...but I have a tragic backstory," Starlight said.

"What is it?"

"Uh...uh," Starlight said, "my best friend moved away."

"Did you ever think of sending him letters?" Fluttershy asked her in an unimpressed tone. Starlight let out a sheepish smile, and looked desperately at Party Favor.

"Party Favor, remember all the nice things I did for you?"

"You mean kidnapping me, stealing my cutie mark, taking all my money, subjecting me to months of mental torture, giving me nothing but scraps, and making me live in a dirty cabin?"

"Yes," Starlight said with a happy smile. "We've had such good times together."

"Yes, we should throw a party to celebrate our friendship," Party Favor said with a wry gtin. He then pulled out a pistol. "Surprise."

BAM!

A shot entered Starlight's brain, and she lost consciousness.

Man these work so well," Party Favor said, gushing about his pistol. He looked at Starlight, and the blood flowing from her head wound. "Man, that has got to hurt," Party Favor said, gritting his teeth at the minor injury.

"Don't worry," Fluttershy said with a warm smile. "You won't hear her complaining anymore."
