Applejack: And then they carried Granny Smith across the street.

Rouge: There wasn't even any traffic!

Fluttershy: It's not that we don't appreciate their help.

Amy Rose: In fact, it's nice when we get to team up with them.

Rarity: But suddenly, Celestia and Luna seem to think we can't do anything on our own.

Shadow: Yeah, how exactly are we suppose to protect Ponyville if the Princesses are doing it for us?

Sonic: [wearing shades while drinking a soda] Huh, wha- [everyone stares at him] What, it isn't everyday you get a chance to relax, is it?

Starlight Glimmer: Sonic, this is serious!

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, how are we supposed to learn to be rulers of Equestria with them fixing every teensy problem for us?

Sonic: [takes his shades off] Okay, I see your point.

Twilight Sparkle: Maybe the princesses changed their minds.

Starlight Glimmer: Maybe they don't think we're up to the responsibility of protecting Equestria after all!

Spike: Or maybe this week's just a one-time thing that'll never happen again.

Knuckles: Yeah, cause they definetly aren't here now or anything.

[doors open]

Knuckles: I had to open my yap!

Princess Celestia: Ah! A strategy meeting! What is the danger this time? A rampaging beast? Evil spell? Friendship problem?

Princess Luna: We're ready to do whatever we can.

Silver: Great. But is something wrong?

Twilight Sparkle: It's just... You've been helping us an awful lot, and we know you have way more important ruler-y things to do, so...

Princess Luna: We've spent more than enough time in the throne room. Real life is happening out here.

Twilight Sparkle: Wait. That's what this is about?

Blaze: You're sick of being princesses?

Princess Celestia: Not exactly. Battling the Everfree Forest alongside Star Swirl made us realize what we've missed out on. So, instead of spending the day ruling...

Princess Luna: ...and the night patrolling dreams...

Princess Celestia: ...we wanted a chance to do the things you do. Save the day! Adventure with friends! Shampoo anteaters.

Spike: I'm pretty sure Fluttershy's the only pony that does that.

Rainbow Dash: Well, there are waaaay more fun things to do than follow us around.

Sunset Shimmer: Yeah, she's got a point, Princesses.

Pinkie Pie: Ooh! You should make a list of all the stuff you never tried but always wanted to!

Cream: Hey, Pinkie's right, there's a lotta little things out there to do!

Princess Celestia: What an intriguing idea. Only... it's much harder to justify a vacation from the castle when it's not an emergency we're responding to.

Fluttershy: Don't worry about it.

Trixie Lulamoon: Yeah, we'll cover your palace duties.

Twilight Sparkle: It'll be a good chance for us to practice for when you retire.

Princess Luna: Well, if you're sure you don't mind the extra effort.

Twilight Sparkle: [scoffs, while the eight ponies nod]

Princess Celestia: Thank you, Twilight! What a relief to know the Royal Swanifying Ceremony is in good hooves. [laughs]

Applejack: The what now?
