I woke up once more and went to eat some breakfast. Ahh, the good old Taco Bell breakfast. Nothing tastes better than that. If you think otherwise, then you are a scumbag. I regret nothing. Anyway, I went to the throne room and sat down on my King's throne. I looked at the map to see if anything fishy was going on. *sighs* Nothing, again. That seems to be a consistent theme here lately. I reverted the map back to the way it was and pulled out a book from under the seat. After a few minutes, I heard the doors open and I set the book down. It was none other than Twilight. I said to her "Good morning Twilight." Twilight smiled at me and said "Good morning Zach." A few seconds later, she came up to me and gave a passionate kiss to which I eagerly returned because this is always how I start my day. After about a minute, we pulled away and stared into each other's eyes. I always get lost into those beautiful violet orbs that she has. "So, what were you doing?" I sighed and said "I tried to see if there was anything on the map, but like usual, there wasn't anything happening, so I decided to read a book just cause. Do you want to go on a morning walk with me? I'm quite bored and I could use the fresh air. Plus, I would love to spend some time with my beautiful princess."

Twilight giggled and said "Of course I'll join you, my handsome prince. It's a nice day out and there's no one else I'd rather be with right now." I smiled and we headed out on a walk through town. We were walking closely together and had our tails intertwined with one another because this is a sign of how close we are in our relationship. Anyways, we were walking down the road when I saw a Cragadile heading straight for the schoolhouse. I was about ready to attack it, but I was beaten to it. Two other ponies came running after it and followed it inside. Me and Twilight just watched as they restrained it and successfully recaptured it with relative ease. Miss Cheerilee though was quite traumatized by that encounter and quickly dismissed the class for the day. I snickered a bit and Twilight took off back to the castle as I was watching some bonding time between Scootaloo and her parents. I watched for a few more seconds before I also headed back to the castle. Nothing really happened for a few hours before I heard a knock from the front doors. I went down to the door only to see the CMC's. I was kinda confused on why they were here. I asked them "Uh, hey guys. What brings you over here?" Scootaloo just sighed and that made me concerned. "Are you alright?" Scootaloo said "No, not really." Hmm. I said "Well, come inside. We'll talk about this in the library." They came inside and followed me to the library. Thankfully, Twilight wasn't in here so I could do this properly without any distractions.

I sat down on the chair while they sat on the couch. "Okay, now that we are all here, tell me what exactly is bothering you." Scootaloo said "Well, I was at my own house when I got a letter in the mail saying that my parents were coming home today and I was so excited until things turned for the worst." I said "I see. Care to explain?" Apple Bloom said "All three of us learned that Scootaloo's parents are trying to take her with them to Shylanka so they can all live together." Sweetie Belle added "Even though that means we'll never see each other again!" They all had tears in their eyes and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I said "So you're telling me that Scootaloo's parents have returned to Ponyville to pack their things and then take their daughter with her to some unknown place out in the middle of nowhere never to be heard from again?" They all nodded and Scootaloo said "Well, there's a train between both places once a month." Okay, that's good to know, but that's still not okay. I said "This is not right! Scootaloo belongs here in Ponyville, not some random place in Celestia knows where in Equestria. Have you tried to convince them to stay and get a job here, Scootaloo?" Scootaloo said "They said that their job is too important." What? Are you kidding me?! You are going to care more about your job than your own child?! WHAT KIND OF HERESY IS THIS?! These parents are such a-holes for being this one-sided.

Honestly, this kind of behavior is selfish and extremely foolish. No parent should EVER to do this to their kid. I don't care what their excuse is. Your child is more important than some stupid job. Yeah, you need a job in order to provide for your children, but they come first. They always say that family comes before business, so why don't you put that into practice instead of locking it away in your own sinful heart and rejecting it entirely? This is how it goes: God comes first, then family, then business. That's how it works. Not in any other order whatsoever. Honestly, I'm extremely disappointed in these parents here for being so ignorant and never even considered asking their daughter about how she feels. I mean, yeah, it's the parent that makes the final decision in the end, but a good parent always listens to what their child has to say and lets them provide input on a big decision. "I'm sorry that you have to suffer through this Scootaloo. I truly am. But I must ask, why did you come to me?" Scootaloo said "Well, we kinda heard around town that you have experienced a lot of issues before and we wanted to see if you would help us. You don't mind helping us, do you?" I said "Of course not, Scootaloo. I'll do whatever it takes to keep you here in Ponyville. You have created a special purpose along with your friends here in Ponyville and have made a huge impact on all of us. Not even your parents could take that away from you."

"Also, if you have any issues whatsoever, you can come to me at any time and I'll be glad to help you with that problem. My door is always open." Scootaloo hugged me for some reason and said "Thanks prince. You're the best." I smiled and said "There's no need for that. Just call me Zachary. You're considered my friend, so you don't need to call me by my royal title. That goes for you two as well. Also, it puts a smile on my face when I can help others with problems that are really hard to go through. I might not be perfect with it, but I really try my best. Anyway, enough chit chat. Let's get started." The CMC's walked out the door and I followed them to Scootaloo's house. We went inside and walked over to one of the rooms in the back of the house. "So, how exactly do we begin?" Sweetie Belle said "I have the perfect idea!" Oh? Do pray tell. Apple Bloom said "We just have to show your parents that we're a set of three." I see. "Then they'll have to let you stay here with us." We'll see. She raised the camera and took some pictures. I watched Snap Shutter put the camera in the box and see three pictures in the water inside a box. He got curious and hung them up on clothespins to dry them off and waited for the picture to be revealed. They revealed each of the CMC's cutie marks and all he did was smile at it.

He then hollered down the hall "Scoot, are these yours?" I didn't want to be seen, so I went into my shadow form and hid inside the wall next to the window at the back of the room. Scootaloo said "Yeah, thanks Dad. We're sending them to the Pony Book of Records." That's a thing? Huh. I never knew that. I have definitely broken pony records, but they probably wouldn't put anything in there since I'm not a pony, so eh. But maybe, they'll change that in the future. We'll see. Sweetie Belle said "We're the only three ponies in Equestria with the same Cutie Mark." Well, for the most part. Apple Bloom said "The chances of that are so rare." I bet they are because everypony is different in their own unique way. "It means we belong together forever." True. Snap Shutter seemed to disagree and said "Yeah, but you don't have the same Cutie Mark." He does have somewhat of a point. Listen carefully. The CMC's looked at him like he was talking nonsense and Apple Bloom said "Uh, sure we do. Look!" Wait for it. Snap Shutter argued "Well, this part is the same, but the picture inside each of these is different." Exactly, and as much as I hate to say this, he presents a very good argument.

Yeah, I can see what the CMC's are trying to say, but from a logical standpoint, Snap Shutter has the better argument. They might want to try a different approach. "I think it means you'll stay best friends no matter where you go, and that's really special." I think you might be missing the point, Snap Shutter. He walked away and I reappeared before them. I said "As much as I hate to play Devil's advocate here, he is right from a logical standpoint. I completely understand what you are trying to say here, but I'm afraid Snap Shutter has the better argument. However, I still believe he is missing the point, so don't give up hope yet." They all looked towards the ground downcast and they went back to their treehouse. I followed them there because I wanted to help somehow, but this issue is quite difficult to figure out here. Suddenly, the door opened and Apple Bloom said "Alright y'all. Time to take it up a notch!" Okay then. She brought out a potion in a test tube and I raised a brow on how this was going to help. Let's see, if I remember correctly, the last time they tried this, they almost had Apple Bloom's older brother and her school teacher get married. I hope Apple Bloom knows what she's doing this time. Scootaloo seemed confused and asked "With prune juice?" Wait a second. Isn't warm prune juice supposed to smell really bad or something?

This can only get worse from here. Apple Bloom said "It's a potion I mixed up from Zecora's book." What kind of potion? "Prune is only one of the ingredients." Well, duh. I might not have taken Chemistry class in high school, but I know that you have to use different ingredients in order to make up a concoction. This is like 5th grade science right here. Sweetie Belle asked "What's it do?" It blows up your house and yeets you up into space while stealing cookies from Pinkie and is singing Haman's song from Veggietales in the shower. Anyway, Apple Bloom opened up the book and said "On this potion, please depend, any separation mend, friends together to the end!" Why does this sound like something Twilight and the others would sing while on a train ride to Las Pegasus? How ironic. "We just got to dabble it on our hooves. Sounds perfect, right?" Ehhh, not really. Scootaloo obviously didn't get the memo on that and said "Better than perfect!" Okay, whatever you say then. Sweetie Belle used her magic to lift the potion up into the air and followed the instructions. They waited for a few seconds and Sweetie Belle asked "Is something supposed to happen?" Watch. Suddenly, their front hooves started bouncing up and down like a magnet trying to attract a magnetic field and basically put some magical rope around them so they couldn't get out. Okay then.

"Is this the something that's supposed to happen?!" Apparently so. Apple Bloom said "The book didn't really say." Of course. Figures. This is why you always test things before you try it yourself. Because if you don't, stuff like this can happen. They tried walking forward, but it was so unstable and they fell to the ground. Ouch. That probably hurt. Scootaloo said "Thanks for trying, Apple Bloom. But I might as well face it: I'm gonna have to leave Ponyville." Not if I have a say that. Apple Bloom said "Don't give up Scootaloo. This just gave me an even better idea for how to keep you here." Oh dear me. This is going to be a disaster. We are all gonna die now. "Come on!" They tried walking again, but it was still really bad, so they couldn't really get very far. I said "Allow me to fix that for you. It's not really that powerful and I can quickly get that off for you." I charged up my scepter and very carefully teleported the rope right out before I made it disappear into thin air. They felt better about it and we went back to Scootaloo's house. This time, they decided to wrap chains around the post where the "For Sale" sign was and have the other side have their back left hoof stuck as well. Scootaloo said "We're running out of time." I can tell by that calendar of yours over there. "This has to work." I hope so, or else, we'll be in big trouble. The door opened and Scootaloo's mother, Mane Allgood, came out and said "Scootaloo, I know you're having fun with your friends, but we need to get all of our things to the station." Uh huh. If you say so.

Snap Shutter said "We can't miss tomorrow's train. It's the only one for a month." Why is it so long though? Why a month? I might have to speak to the railroad company about that in the near future. Scootaloo was not having any of it and said "Then you'll just have to go without me!" That was quite bold. "I'm staying with the CMC's." You better. Sweetie Belle said "We are chained to this post." I can see that. Apple Bloom said "And nothing and nopony is gonna move us no matter… what." That protest was short lived though as the realtor came by and lifted the sign out of the ground and took off with it. Snap Shutter came over and said "We just sold the house Scoot. I know this is hard to accept, but just-" before Scootaloo interrupted and yelled "It's more than hard! It's not fair!" She has a point. "You're making me pick between my family and my friends!" Straight to the point. Mane Allgood didn't seem to understand that and said "Oh Scootaloo, moving away won't stop you three caring about each other." True, but you are missing the point here just like most parents do when their children go through tough situations. "Why don't you sleep over with Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom tonight? It'll give you a chance to say a real goodbye." But maybe she doesn't want to say goodbye.

Did you ever bother to think about that, Mane Allgood? Huh? No, you didn't. And because of that, you are honestly just being selfish and a very bad parent. Scootaloo wasn't having any of that and yelled "But I don't want to say goodbye! You're changing my whole life without even asking how I feel!" She started crying and ran away. Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom followed after her and I gave both of Scootaloo's parents the most angry looking death stare I could give which left them terrified of me and completely shocked. They instantly felt guilty and I took off after the CMC's as well. I quickly found Scootaloo sitting on the bench at the train station and she still had tears in her eyes. I felt so bad for her as this was probably a really tough situation for any child this young to go through. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle caught up and they were worried. Apple Bloom shouted "Scootaloo!" while Sweetie Belle asked "Where are you going?" I might have an idea. Scootaloo answered "To stay with my aunts." Makes sense. I know people might say that Scootaloo's aunts are part of the LGBTQ+ community, but I refuse to believe that. I think they are just different sides of the family. If you think about it, you always have more than one aunt and uncle.

So even though it might hint towards LGBTQ+, I still think you shouldn't rule out just different sides of the family. Just saying. "You heard my parents. There isn't another train to Shylanka for a month. If I'm not on it, they'll have to go without me." Fair point. Apple Bloom said "Then we're coming with you!" Scootaloo seemed surprised and said "Are you sure? I don't wanna get you into trouble." I said "I can guarantee you that my friends would not care at all if you were at your aunt's house. Believe me. They'd understand the situation quite well and if they were in it, they would do the exact same thing. Oh and by the way, I'm coming with ya as well. You know just cause. It's for support. That's all." Scootaloo seemed to tear up again and said to both Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle "You're the best, you know that?" Yeah, I do. Twilight tells me that all the time. Anyway, Apple Bloom said "We're the best." and Sweetie Belle added "Together!" They did their thing where they put their hooves together and that stuff. If you've seen the episode, you know what I mean. The train arrived and we got on it so we could visit Scootaloo's aunts. We made it to the house and Scootaloo knocked on the door. Holiday had opened the door and was surprised to see her niece there.

She said "Scootaloo! What a nice surprise." Tell me about it. "Oh, and hello to you too Prince. My, this is quite the ultimate surprise." I smiled and said "I'm just here in the background. Also, no need to call me Prince. You can simply just call me Zachary. That's fine by me." Come to think of it, I sound just like Twilight. I guess she's rubbing off of me a little bit. Oh well, I don't care. Lofty came out and said "And I've got a surprise for you!" Oh, what might that be? Scootaloo looked at the rest of us and we all drew shrugs as we were just as confused as she was. Lofty came out with a quilt and it looked extremely nice. She said "You three inspired me to finish my quilt." That's pretty nice. "See? It's Cutie Mark Crusader themed." I can tell and it looks very nice. Holiday said "We love hearing stories about the ponies you helped. So Lofty decided to celebrate the special job you three do." I said "It's actually quite nice now that I'm looking at it. I haven't seen a quilt that good in ages." Lofty got self-conscious and said "Oh, it was nothing, Prince." Here we go with that again. Scootaloo just sighed and it left most of us confused. I knew why Scootaloo did that. "It's still a work in progress." Looks fine to me. Scootaloo said "It's not your quilt we're sad about, Auntie Lofty."

Then what is it then? "Mom and Dad are back, and they're making me move to Shylanka with them!" Yeah, honestly these parents are such idiots for being this selfish. Holiday was surprised by this and said "Snap and Mane are back?" Yep. I even saw them with my own eyes. "They didn't tell me that." Of course they didn't. Scootaloo said "Oh. I think the mailpony delivered your letter to my house." Yeah, that happens a lot in the mail system. Easy fix though if you know where the intended owner lives. If not, you're kinda screwed. Just saying. Scootaloo showed her aunts the postcard and they looked at it. "I love my family, but I love being with my friends too. I don't wanna have to choose." Yeah, I know how that feels. It was quite tough for me to go through at some points in my life. Lofty asked "Then why don't your parents just stay in Ponyville?" I doubt they would refuse to give that up. Scootaloo shook her head and said "Their job is too important." Stupid. Absolutely stupid! I'm not blaming Hasbro for this. I'm blaming the parents because this is absolute foolishness and it needs to end NOW! Anyway, moving on. Wait a second. I think I have it. Apple Bloom beat me to it though and said "That's it!" If you're confused, just listen.

Sweetie Belle got suspicious and said "Is this another potion idea?" I doubt that. Apple Bloom said "No. Scootaloo's parents are the only ponies in Equestria that can do what they do, right?" Yep. That would be the case. Scootaloo listened carefully and said "Right." Apple Bloom continued on and said "Well, so are we." You'll see where this is going in a second. "Our cutie marks prove it." Pretty much. Sweetie Belle said "Yeah. Our job is to help other ponies find their purpose." Amongst other things. Scootaloo said "And nopony else can do that." Bingo. "So if my parents split us up, it'd be just as bad as them quitting their jobs!" There it is! Basically, it would make the parents look like hypocrites which they are not far off from being that way. They cheered and Apple Bloom thought out loud "Now how do we explain that to them?" I said "Leave that to me. You don't have to answer that. They will have to answer not just you, but also the rest of Ponyville and all of Equestria. I have the perfect idea." I told them my idea and we got to work. By the next day, everything was ready to go. Both of Scootaloo's parents were shocked at what they saw. Snap Shutter said "Sweet Celestia's slippers!" There's a new one. Mane Allgood said "What is all this?" You'll soon find out.

Rainbow flew over and said "It's Cutie Mark Crusader Appreciation Day! But we couldn't start without all of them here." Obviously. That wouldn't make any sense. Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood were extremely confused and Rainbow took Scootaloo over to the Town Hall. While that was happening, the crowds were chanting "CMC's!" as Rainbow flew up above. I was standing next to the mayor with my eagle wings spread out since I am the highest authority here and make sure I represent royal presence here since Twilight is in the crowds. The mayor spoke up and said "These three ponies share a rare ability to help others find their true purpose. It's a job only they can do and only together." Exactly. Mane Allgood told her husband "That sounds familiar." It should, you scumbags. "In honor of all they have done and continue to do for the ponies of this town, I would like to present the Cutie Mark Crusaders with a three handled key to the city!" Yeah, how does that work exactly? The crowd cheered and there was even a full fledged Wonderbolt salute for that. That's how special they truly are. Snap Shutter saw the picture in the sky and said "A full Wonderbolt salute." Yes, sir. I think you underestimated how much importance the CMC's have in this town.

Holiday came over and said "Oh, I'm not sure how important Scootaloo and her friends are little brother."What do you expect? Lofty said "But you're about to find out." Definitely so. The mayor stepped aside and a colt came up and said "The CMC's use their free time to set up a camp to help us blank flanks get our cutie marks." Yeah, that is pretty special if you ask me. "The Cutie Mark Crusaders see the best in everypony even when that pony can't see it in themselves." Very well spoken, my dude. Snap Shutter said "Well, I'll be a three-tailed Bandicoot. I had no idea how important Scoot's club was." Of course you didn't. That is the testimony of the foolish right there. I flew up in the air and said "It's way more than just a club. They have helped ponies find their special talents in life, they have helped others find purpose in life, and have even gone as far as to defending the accused." I'm looking right at ya Trouble Shoes. "Even for someone in a position of power like me, I can say that the Cutie Mark Crusaders have definitely had a big impact in my life as well." Everyone seemed to agree and Holiday said "Whether it's encouraging others to discover their special talent." Yep. You have Tender Taps right there. Lotfy said "Or inspiring them to do what's in their heart."

Several examples right here. Big Mac being engaged to Sugar Belle and setting Diamond Tiara on the right path. Holiday said "These three fillies offer the town something no pony else can." Exactly. Without them, Ponyville might become lost and turn into what we saw in Season 3 Episode 13 "Magical Mystery Cure" where the cutie marks of the Mane Six with the exception of Twilight got switched and turned Ponyville into total chaos. Suddenly, we heard the train blow its horn and everyone looked towards the train to figure out what the final decision was going to be. It was all tense when finally Mane Allgood motioned for Scootaloo to come up to her. Oh dear me. I was about ready to rip these two to shreds. Not physically, but verbally basically explain how much of a scumbag they both are and how terrible they are at parenting. However, before I could open my mouth, Rainbow beat me to the punch. She said "No way!" It doesn't surprise me. "After all that, you're still going to make her leave?!" Probably. Although, let me see what the explanation for that is. Mane Allgood said "We just want what's best for Scootaloo." HA!

Ain't that a lie? If you really wanted what was best for her, you should have asked her how she felt about this big change and fully listened to her when she opposed the idea. My parents are a way better example of what they wanted best for me. Even though there were some bumps in the road, I knew that they wanted me to succeed in life and thankfully, that came true for them. It's a shame though that they are no longer around to see the man that I have become. Oh well. I will see them in heaven one day when I meet the King of Kings and the Lord of All Lords face to face. I long for that day and it will come. "And until now, we thought we knew what that was." Yeah, you constantly have to be shown what is best so that you can finally understand what is really going on. You're almost as bad as Discord sometimes. Snap Shutter sighed and said "Turns out, you're just like us Scoot. You have an important job that only you can do." Exactly. That's how both of you are, so you need to respect her decision as well. "You love it, and it helps all of Equestria." exactly. Even for a broken man like me, they have still had an impact on my life in ways I never imagined that they would. Mane Allgood said "Sometimes, that means missing out on other things like watching our daughter grow into a pony we're very proud of." I rolled my eyes at that. I'm sure they actually care, but they don't act like it at all until they realize it.

By that point though, it's already too late. Snap Shutter said "Which is a long way to say… Scoot, if you wanna stay, we understand." You better or else you're gonna get the pep talk of your lifetime as I just rip you to shreds about how terrible parents you are and need to be better on proper listening and communication. Scootallo gasped in shocked excitement and said "Really?!" I think so. She hopped up to her parents and gave them a hug. "Thanks Dad. Thanks Mom." That family moment brought tears to both of Scootaloo's aunts and it even brought me to tears a little bit because it reminded me of my parents. Twilight instantly took notice of this and flew up next to me to give me a tissue and resting her head on my neck while flying. "I understand your pain, Zach. It will be fine. I will be here with you for as long as both of us live." "Thanks Twilight. You are my family right now and I'm glad I'm with you." "Me too. I don't want to be anywhere else than right here with you." "Same here, my beautiful princess." Anyway, moving on. Mane Allgood said "Oh sweetie, I'm just sorry we didn't realize it sooner." Yeah, it takes a lot to get you to notice something that is so obvious. Snap Shutter said "Our work is our life's purpose." What happens when you get too old though?

You obviously can't work anymore unless you're one of those people that has the "I'll work till I fall over and die" mentality. "We could never quit, so we couldn't ask you to do the same." Yeah, that definitely sounds like something a hypocrite would do in the first place. Lofty came up and said "Maybe you shoulda thought of that before you sold the house." Yeah, definitely so. Tell me about it. Holiday said "Lofty, don't tease my brother." Remember. Opposite sides of the family. Not the other thing. "We already have a solution worked out." And what would that be? Lofty said "Since the CMC's make Ponyville such a nice place, we've decided to move here." Well, that's definitely interesting. I'll make sure I have Pinkie welcome you to the family here. Holiday said "You can live with us, Scootaloo, if you'd like." I think so. Scootaloo said "That would be amazing!" I don't blame ya. "Will you still come and visit?" I would hope so. Mane Allgood said "Of course!" while Snap Shutter said "Ravient Bugbears couldn't keep us away." I would hope so. Anyway, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle came down chanting "You get to stay here!" and they all hugged. Apple Bloom asked "Uh, you are staying here, right?" Why wouldn't she? Scootaloo said "Are you kidding?" Yes. Sike. No I'm not.

"CMC's forever!" Figures they'd say that. They all cheered and then the rest of the crowd pitched in. After several hours, it was night time and I was back inside the castle and I was out on the balcony. I watched as all the lights went off and I sighed. The encounter with Scootaloo's parents today reminded me of my own, but I was more in control of my emotions since I had a bigger issue to deal with. Now that I'm alone and thinking to myself, I can focus on this issue more. Twilight came out and stood next to me. She said "Looking out at Ponyville again?" I sighed and said "Yeah. It's kinda a natural habit these days." Twilight said "We all have those." I sighed once more. Twilight got concerned and asked "Is everything all right?" I said "It's just the encounter with Scootaloo's parents today reminded me of my own once more. I know it seems stupid, but I really can't help it." Twilight said "It's not stupid, Zach. Certain events remind us of those we have lost and there is nothing we can do about it except have those who are already close to us comfort us." I said "You do make a good point. It's just hard." Twilight said "I know it's hard. I might have experienced that quite yet, but I can feel your pain. Thankfully, I might have the fix for that."

I raised a brow and asked "And what would that be?" Instead of talking, Twilight responded by putting me on the ground and getting on top of me and gave me probably the most passionate kiss I have ever seen. I'm trying to keep it PG-Clean here, but it's kinda difficult. I melted right into the kiss and I returned it with eager passion. Even when I experience sadness, Twilight is always right there to encourage me and I do the same thing for her. It's basically a two-way street. Every situation that either of us get into, we're always there to comfort one another and it really does help. I'm glad that she's part of my life and there's probably no doubt she's happy with me being in her life as well. We might fall down, but we can get back up again with encouragement.

AN: Another chapter done! This was a little shorter than I expected it to be, but there were some unnecessary parts that I had to skip over so that it would fit with the storyline of this chapter. I promise that next chapter, everything will be covered and I mean everything. Nothing will be left out here. Also, I hope Scootaloo's parents get some common sense soon or else they are going to have a lot of issues later down the road since they can't seem to even care about Scootaloo's feelings. But whatever. Hope you enjoyed the chapter!

Next Chapter: Royal interference! When Zachary and his friends almost put a stop to a giant tortoise, Celestia and Luna show up at the last second just to teleport it away. They all realize that the both of them have been going around Ponyville fixing the smallest of problems that aren't that big of a deal. Eventually, Celestia and Luna confess that they feel like they have been missing out on life outside the throne room and wanted to do everything that the Mane Six plus Zachary do. Pinkie suggests that they go on a sister trip and do everything that they always wanted to do while they prepare for the Royal Swanifying Ceremony. Of course, Celestia and Luna have different ideas of a good time and drives them apart. Will they be able put aside their issues, or will they come back to Canterlot looking like a disaster?

Until then, my fellow readers
