Canterlot, Equestria- Upon witnessing his children once again floating out of their bed and into the open night sky, Canterlot resident Malt Shake sighed, put down his newspaper, and reported to his wife that the Princess of the Night once again abducted their two foals.
“Yeah, this happens all the time,” said Malt Shake offhoofedly to one of our reporters while finishing his crossword puzzle. “I’m sure she’ll bring them back eventually. I mean, she usually does anyway.” The stallion continued to take a sip of his coffee before turning back to his paper. “At first, I was a little concerned over the fact that my children- who are both unicorn by the way- floated out of the windows and into the sky where we could hear the faint singing of the second most powerful figure in our government. But after the first twenty times, we kind of just got used to it.”
Although many concerned parents have reported these foalnappings to the authorities, the Canterlot police chief has reportedly, “Ceased accepting complaints of the nature relating to said abductions.” When pressed for a comment, the chief stated: “Look, I don’t know what these ponies want me to do. It’s not like I can arrest her or anything. For Celestia’s sake, she’s a Princess! She even takes my daughter on these weird night flights with her! Little Snowball hasn’t gotten a good night of sleep in two months!”
While the parents of the foals are either past the point of caring, or too tired to raise any charges, sources confirmed that Princess Luna has been happier than she has ever been since her banishment ended. “Ah yes, we are most joyed to see that these young ones are enjoying the night as much as us. Ever since our flights began, we’ve been able to overcome the massive depression that has plagued us ever since our stay on the moon. For once... for once we feel happy.” A single tear rolled down our ruler’s face as she took off into the night sky to round up her “Children of the Night”, as she called them.
“Well,” said Malt Shake. “At least Celestia stopped taking our foals to her bedchambers during the day. Celestia knows what she did to them in there.”
