Five months of recovery later.

Year: 02 Celestia's Reign.

Location: The royal throne room.

Date: The 1st of July.

"I'm sorry, but that will be all for today." Celestia told, the long line of ponies that stood in front of her.

The entire crowd awed and booed in dissatisfaction, before they all trotted off and dispersed, all except the mare stood at the front of the line. The mare that stood motionless before Celestia was the same exact that had lost her place at the front of the line, the last time Celestia held a day court, 5 months ago.

The unicorn mare was purple in color with a blue/dark-purple mane, and bore a strange fake gray beard around her neck. The mare wore an expression across her face that screamed 'hate' and 'death' as she made her way towards the throne, ignoring the royal guard that stood beside her.

"You're joking right?" she asked, stopping in front of the throne.

"Excuse me?" Celestia questioned, raising an eye brow at the lavender unicorn.

"This is all a joke right? I mean, once, yeah, that might happen, but Twice?" The mare said in a crazed tone. "So, who put ya up to this huh?" She looked around the room and pointed her hoof at a suspicious looking dark coated guard that stood to the far right. "I bet it was him, he looks rather shady. Huh huh, it was him wasn't it?" She started a trot for the poor colt, but was cut off by the wings of two royal guards. "Protecting your own I see? I bet you're both part of this two!" Miraculously the crazed mare picked up both of the guards that stood in her way and throw them aside.

The sight set Celestia into motion, for she descended from her throne to meet the mare on her level. "Now, now I think we need to calm down before somepony gets hurt." Celestia said in an attempt to take control of the situation...

...It failed.

"Calm down? Calm down!" The mare turned to Celestia, wearing an even crazier look then before. "Look her miss-fat-lazy-princess that won't ever get off her fat flank for anything else then food!" The statement about her weight left a confused look on Celestia's face.

"What did you just call me?" Celestia asked, approaching the mare, making show of her huge wings in an attempted to intimidate her...

...It also failed.

"You heard me ye fat excuse for a pony!" The unicorn shouted, "Now, I suggest you sit your fat flank down and grab a quill, because you be signing these here papers," Using her magic the mare had a pile of paper appear in front of Celestia." That I've been waiting five freaking months to have approved! Or, else there's gonna tartarus to pay!"

"And, who do you think you are to make such a threat?" Celestia asked in the most Royal tone she could muster, closing in on the mare to the point that she was now mere inches away.

"Starswirl the bearded, best potter in equestia!" The mare replied, yelled and spat directly into Celestia's face.

Celestia whipped the spit off her face and replied: "Let me ask you again, who do you think you are to make such a threat?" She ended her sentence with a hoof stomp to the floor, a signal to her guards to ready there weapons. And, they did just that, all the guards in the room readied their weapons and moved to a battle position as if they where about pounce at any given moment.

The realization she was in a boat load of trouble struck the mare like lightning strikes the ground. Her eyes widened and pupils shrink, while she slowly turned her head around taking note of all the heavily armed ponies.

Oh ponyfeathers, I went and did it again.

Starswirl's face now pale as a sheep's, she slowly began a trot backwards. "I thought this was a rest room...my mistake." She said sheepishly, with a fake smile, just before hightailing it out of there.

Celestia sighed and then frowned, "This is going to be a long year..." She said, prolonging the 'long'.
