A stupid story based on this scene from my favourite musical.

Chapter 1

Trotting alongside her student Celestia flung open the doors to her throne room, only to see none other than her little sister sitting on her throne.

She trotted right up to her sister authoritatively, every hoof step thundering down against the pristine marble flooring, shattering the smooth slabs and sending wide cracks in every direction with each step she took.

Standing at least a good foot above her sister she stared down at her as Luna looked on smugly. “Hello sister! Just got up, have we?” Luna nonchalantly asked.

“Luna, why exactly are your sitting in my throne?” Celesita asked, trying to stay calm while still revealing her annoyance.

“Pray tell sister, where exactly is your named marked down on this throne of yours?” Luna asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Nowhere, because it wasn’t necessary. I am the bigger sister, not only in size, but age, maturity, intelligence, ability, competence, etcetera, therefore I get the bigger throne, and you get, that.“ Celesita simply said, pointing her sister towards her pitiful little throne, which maybe stood at a quarter the size of hers.

“And if I disagree?” Luna asked proudly.

Celestia simply pointed towards the door, gesturing for her little sister to leave, which she did so, although not before huffing and turning her nose up at her sister’s arrogance.

Sitting on her throne Celesita watched as her little sister trotted off in a huff before she gestured for Twilight to take Luna’s place.

“You know Princess’s, I hate to intrude, but I think you ought to give your sister at least little more credit. You’re clearly the superior matriarch, but as has been proven in the past, Luna is far too resentful to let you just trot over her.” Twilight said hesitantly before looking up towards the Princess, seeing that she wasn’t going to chastise her.

“I fear to say Princess, but you may have to consider joining with her in a more equal union, whether or not that would be appropriate being entirely irrelevant, unless you wish to send her back to the moon.” Twilight said matter of factly.

Celesita brought a hoof to her chin and took in a deep sigh before getting up from her throne. “Yes, I fear you my be right, my faithful student. But how to form an alliance with a mare caste away from civilised society for a millennia?” She mused as she began to trot around the throne room.

Suddenly and without warning the Princess sprang up, breaking out into song as she galloped authoritatively and purposefully around the room.. “When I was a filly, the throne was a better spot. What mine was mine, what was hers was hers.” She sang, striding about the throne room as she made ridiculously exaggerated gestures.

“Now I am a mare, the throne has changed a lot. Some things nearly mine, other’s nearly hers.” She sang, bringing her hoof up towards her chest before throwing it outwards towards the door, as if gesturing towards her sister.

“There are times I almost think I am not sure of what is absolutely mine’s I very often find confusion in what used to be so simple long ago.”

In these walls are many things that as a Princess I have strived to procure. In these walls are many things of which I wish more certainly belonged to, me!”

“It is, a puzzlement.” She shouted, thrusting her hoof into the air dramatically.

“Shall I join with my dear sister in alliance? If she is weak would an alliance not also make me so? If she is strong with the will to join in equal union with me, could she not also usurp my throne?” She sang a little quitter while still maintaining her strange dramatic tune as she began to bend down towards the floor in a show of feigned weakness.

“It is a danger to be trusting one’s siblings. One sister will seldom want to do what the other wishes. But unless someday somehow I trust her, there’ll be one less Princess in a Equestria, and one more, once again, up there.”

“There are times I almost think I should let her take her rightful place on the throne! Everypony finds she must comes to terms with her siblings even though she couldn’t trust her long ago!” She sang loudly, suddenly jumping back up as she began to gallop around the room again, making wild gestures towards both herself and the countless terrified guards that decorated the throne room.

“And it puzzles me to think that though a mare may be in somber doubt of her ability to trust her own kin of whom she so intimately knows, very quickly will she fight, she’ll fight to keep to keep that same mare from usurping her, own, throne!”

“OOOOOOHHHOOOWWW! Sometimes I think I’m going mad! HHHUUUUHHHU! Sometimes I think she’s really not so bad!” She bellowed with an absurd amount of passion.

“But no matter what I think I must go living life, as leader of my kingdom I must go forth. Be matriarch to each of my dearly treasured little ponies, and teacher to my faithful student, etcetera, etcetera and so forth.”

“If my lord in heaven Faust show the way! Everyday I try to live another day! If my lord in heaven Faust show the way! Everyday I do my best for one more day!”

“But, is a puzzlement!” She shouted dramatically, falling to her hindlegs as she shook her forehooves passionately in the air.

Celesita sang, jumping around the room like a complete lunatic as both Twilight and all of her Royal Guards just stood, paralysed with shock and amazement as they watched their Princess preform this strange musical all to herself.

Peering through the door Luna rolled her eyes before placing her head in her hooves. Maybe she really was better of just allowing her sister to have her way, if of course it meant she could live in peace without the regular egotistical musical interruption.
