Sour Sweet stood with a bored expression as she idly watched over her prisoners, examining them with mild curiosity. Lemon Zest on the other hoof, was busy talking her ear off.

“Lemon Zest,” Sour Sweet coughed into her hoof finally as the other mare looked at her. “Can you do me a favor and shut up? For ten minutes?”

“I don’t know. Most I’ve done is seven minutes and fifty seconds " Lemon Zest commented and tilted her head. “Keep moving, inmate. I’ve always wanted to say that. Makes me sound cool.”

“Uh, we’re not jailors remember? We’re Royal Guards. We’re just supposed to move them along. Hey!” Sour snapped at a stallion pausing to lean against a wall. “Get the fuck on. I want to get back and rest. This armor is heavier than it looks, shit head.”

“I have a broken leg,” he shot back and Sour smiled with mock sweetness as she raised an eyebrow.

“Oh how my heart bleeds for you,” Sour mocked as she trotted in a circle around him, poking him in the side. “Why don’t you cry me a river and maybe I’ll let you go.”

Sour Sweet shoved the stallion forward with a growl and continued walking with Lemon Zest, occasionally tugging on the chains to verify the ponies were still cuffed.

“Lemon Zest? Are you still alive over there?” Sour Sweet glanced at the mare who’s cheek were puffed out and was turning a faint blue. “Sweet Celestia, breath!”

Lemon Zest let out a strangled gasp, slowly turning back to her normal color as Sour sighed in relief before shooting her friend a glare.

“What were you thinking?” Sour Sweet snapped angrily.

“You asked me to try to stay quiet for ten minutes. I got to five and a half,” Lemon Zest gasped out before levitating her water bottle to her lips.

“I asked you to stay quiet, not kill yourself!”

“Right,” Lemon Zest snorted as Sour rolled her eyes, pausing at a gated property before sliding her key into the lock and pushing the gate open.

“Alright mares and stallions and other degenerates!” Sour shouted and Dusk gave her an angry look along with the other prisoners that she and the others had helped unload from the train from some back water town she didn’t know of. “Welcome to home for the next few days until your trials. We thank you for your stay and continued business and we hope you have a good visit. Enjoy jail.”

Lemon Zest laughed as some stern looking stallions along with a mare in dark blue shirts and matching pants with a hoofcuffs on their belts trotted up.

“And don’t fuck with these guys,” Sour warned the group with a cold smile. “They’re not as nice as me.”

“You enjoyed that way too much,” Lemon Zest noted as she looked at the slightly shorter pony.

“Maybe a little. They kidnapped a young filly, they don’t deserve respect. Just wait till some of the meaner prisoners gets their hooves on em. Then they will learn the hard way not to fuck around and find out.”

Luna scowled slightly as she shifted around on her bed, setting down her ColtBox controller with a sigh, glancing at Twinkleshine and Celestia sitting next to her, the other controller held in the air in a golden glow.

Celestia gave her a slightly smug grin as she set her own controller down as Twinkleshine tried her hardest to hide her grin behind a hoof.

“I can’t believe she of all ponies beat me at Mortal Kombat,” Luna flopped back on her bed and crossed her forelegs across her chest. “I didn’t even think Tia was capable of fun.”

“I am too fun!” Celestia shot back dryly with an irritated expression. “You’re the one who doesn’t know the definition of fun!”

“Oh please,” Luna scoffed and rolled her eyes. “I’m way more fun than you. Right Twinkleshine?”

The two alicorns looked at Twinkleshine at the same time as she tried to make herself seem invisible. Getting involved in a fight between sisters was the last thing Twinkleshine wanted to be in. Especially considering the sisters were the rulers of Equestria.

“You know what, I think I left the oven on at home and I don’t want to burn down my house so I think I’ll be going now. It’s been super fun and all-” Twinkleshine started backpedaling to the door as Celestia blocked her exit and Twinkleshine gulped.

“Who’s more fun?” Celestia demanded and Twinkleshine groaned internally.

“You want the truth? Both of you are equally fun. Happy?”

“That works,” Luna answered after a moment of silence. “Since you’re here, why exactly could we not decapitate those ponies? They broke the law.”

Celestia gave an annoyed groan before slamming her hoof into her face as Twinkleshine rolled her eyes. She wasn’t entirely fond of the idea of watching ponies getting killed herself or whatever it was Luna wanted. And she definitely didn’t want to see the bodies everyday.

“Beheading is not allowed, Luna,” Celestia pointed out flatly. “Times have changed and we don’t do that anymore. Equestria is much more civilized I should say.”

“Hmph.”

“Besides, they got punished enough by Sunset I think,” Celestia chuckled as she glanced at the weekly letter Twilight had sent her. Celestia had admittedly been fairly angry when she found out what happened. “They will serve their sentence. I’m not lenient on crime, after all.”

“What happened to Sunset?” Twinkleshine tilted her head and glanced between the two as both alicorns shared a look.

“It’s a long story. She ended up in the hospital for a couple days after raising Tartarus the only way she knows how,” Celestia rolled her eyes with a tired smile. Celestia fully well knew the level of chaos the mare could cause when she truly wanted to. Sunset, Lyra and Twilight were an admittedly dangerous trio when they wanted to be.

Twinkleshine didn’t necessarily consider Sunset to be a close friend in all honesty. She didn’t really know the mare at all really, but she did know Lyra liked her fairly well. Lyra is a fairly decent judge of character.

She might ask Lyra for Sunset’s address the next time she was in Ponyville and send a letter or something. She doubted the mare even really remembered her to be honest. It had been a good few years since they had been in school together.

“I’ll tell you all about it. I’m sure the story was exaggerated,” Luna scoffed and Celestia gave her a doubtful look.

“Believe me, it’s not exaggerated.”

“So how goes the whole Luna thing going?” Minuette asked as she sat on her couch with a book and a glass of wine next to her, occasionally watching Lemon Hearts and Twinkleshine searching through her movie shelf.

“It’s going actually surprisingly well. She’s not as scary as I once thought. She did want to decapitate some ponies but thank the gods Celestia talked her out of it.”

Minuette shivered slightly before turning the page of her book as Lemon Hearts glanced at Twinkleshine.

“I did hear that firsthoof. It was a bit scary, hearing Luna shouting and using the Royal Canterlot Voice during her tirade. None of the guards were willing to calm her down and I don’t blame. Except for that one pony, I forgot her name. Sunny Flare I think it was?”

“Yeah.”

“I don’t even know what she was screaming over. I’ll probably hear about it later tomorrow when I go to work,” Lemon Hearts commented as she levitated a movie onto the table. “Let’s watch this one. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen The Lion King. It’s a gift from god.”

“Apparently those ponies we had seen earlier were arrested. Something about kidnapping a filly and stuff. Sunset’s to be exact,” Twinkleshine answered and received two stunned looks. “Celestia said Sunset apparently fought a few.”

Lemon Hearts shuddered slightly and turned Minuettes TV on. Lemon had more than once seen Sunset fighting in the hallway in school. Pretty much made her stay far away so she didn’t accidentally make the mare mad.

“Damn,” Minuette whistled as she set her book down and flicked her tail around her. “I didn’t know she had a kid. I never saw her as the one to have a kid immediately after school. I always thought I would or Lemon Hearts would.”

“Why me?” Lemon demanded as her head turned to glare at the blue mare. “I’m single, remember? And unlike Twinkleshine, I’m still a virgin.”

“Hey!” Twinkleshine snapped with a faint blush. “I thought we agreed to never speak of that one time again.”

“You shared a dorm with Moondancer. She was traumatized apparently by the noises, that poor mare. Probably why she left Canterlot.”

“She left? When?” Minuette asked before giving Twinkleshine a smirk. “You did have a issue with masturbating a lot.”

“Shut up,” Twinkleshine growled as the other two laughed. “I swear, you two are worse than Lyra. And we both assumed Moondancer left because we haven’t seen her in years. I hope she’s doing alright.”

“Me too,” Minuette agreed with a sigh snd shoved a bookmark in her book before setting it aside. “Now start the movie. It’s been a few days since I’ve seen you two.”

The two other unicorns moved to sit on either side of her as Minuette raised a hoof in the air.

“And please no trash around on my couch. Thanks.”

Lemon Hearts snorted and flung herself down, wrapping her tail around herself. That was more of Lyra’s thing to do, not hers.

She levitated a glass of water next to her as she hit play.

“This movie is amazing,” Lemon commented and raised an eyebrow at Minuettes glare.

“Quiet, I’m trying to watch.”

Lemon shut her muzzle and rolled her eyes, turning to continue watching.

Author's Note

Name: Minuette.

Age: 30.

Nicknames: Minnie, Hourglass, Toothpaste, Min.

Bio: (From Lyra's diary) Minuette is a pretty damn strange pony. She acts all uptight and blah blah blah, but she's actually just as energetic as me some days. She's like a discount Lyra. She's absolutely obsessed with being on time, brushing her teeth and reading these weird trashy romance novels. Yuck, right? I read one and never again. Who even thinks of a werewolf pony dating a mare? Anyway! She's a nice enough mare. I grew up with and I can remember a time when she was always bullied for having braces. I pretty much told those ponies to fuck right off. Kids can be vicious, man. Minuette is a pretty decent mare and is dating one of my friends, Berry. Nice mare too. I love Berry and all, but Minuette definitely helps keep her life on track. Thank Celestia because Berry occasionally needs it. Especially since she has a filly and all. Minuette is super friendly and often helps most of her friends out. She was a bridesmaid with me and Twinkleshine in "Cadence's" wedding. I rocked that dress, not gonna lie. But this isn't about me. Cadence was a bitch, man. Or well, you get the point. Pinkie says I'm not allowed to write down what happened yet because of spoilers or something. That's a weird pony. And that's coming from me! All in all, Minuette is a fine mare and I'm glad to know her. She's a good friend and I love her a lot. I still remember the time I united with Sunset and Twilight to prank Minuette. Granted, Twilight didn't know that's what we were doing, we tricked her into thinking we needed her help for homework but minor detail. That never ending toothpaste spell worked wonders. Minuette was covered hoof to horn, ha! Minuette firmly believes in taking care of yourself before helping ponies who will just take advantage of you.

Motto: Don’t set yourself on fire to keep others warm.

Abilities: Minuette may not be physically strong, but she's got a heart and throws all she's got into everything she does, which I always admired. She's super smart too.

Allies: Myself, Sunset, Twilight, Spitfire, Twinkleshine, Moondancer, Sea Swirl, Berry, Ruby, Caramel, Shining Armor, Sideswipe, Soarin, Wallflower, High Winds, Watermelody, her parents, Kibitz, Flash Sentry, Noteworthy, Derpy, Discord, Celestia, Luna.

Enemies: Tirek, Chrysalis, Discord (formerly twice), Sludge but everypony hates that bitch, Blueblood, Nightmare Moon (formerly).

Weakness: She needs to loosen up about being on time and dental care. I brush my teeth everyday, like lighten up Minnie. Sheesh!

Notable quotes:

"Brushie brushie, brushing my teeth."

"Sweet Celestia."

"I-is that Cadence?"

"Where are we?"

"I'm scared. I wanna go home."

"Always be yourself, no matter what Ruby. Don't live your life for other ponies."

"What the fu-!?"

"Lyra!"

"Get back here, you two! You're gonna get it once I'm cleaned up!"

"So much wasted toothpaste."

"You're not going anywhere...."

Well, this is the final chapter. I really didn't know what I wanted to do either this story so I tried combining two or three of my ideas into one storyline. I think it turned out well. The next one should be out today and will be Wonderbolt heavy. I'll also be bringing a character I've teased in the Wonderbolts bios, especially Fleetfoots and one of my personal favorite canon Wonderbolts, Raindrops!
