Princess Celestia is getting tired of her sister skipping out on her royal duties for trivial matters that she calls 'emergencies'. Princess Luna don't care.
Trixie and Twilight are best ponies! (Diamond Tiara is best filly :D )

Wow you just covered Luna's entire character problem in one title.
Nice
Dammit, Luna
Sure, let's have Blueblood acknowledge the situation. What could possibly go wrong?
I read this particular passage in a comment on Derpibooru. Is this based on said comment, or was someone quoting your story?
It's Detrot. Who cares.
I loved how Celestia just trounced Luna at her own game before showing her own brand of hypocrisy in the end This was a good read
What else is Twilight for?
Just get a couple more Princesses and Celestia and Luna can just relax all day.
Alliance with Saddle Arabia, not allegiance.

That was me posting that comment :P
Luna is the princess version of Scott Pilgrim.
5878672
Agreed.
5878849 ditto
This is starting to feel like that story about the hen who baked bread, asking the other farm animals to help, but all of them always making excuses.
Probable error:
Celestia grumbled as she searched her mind for a anypony who could fill in for her sister.
Unnecessary curse word, otherwise a fun, silly short read.
Hate to sound like a nitpick, but it stuck out like a sore thumb to me:
You typed "Princess Luna don't care." in the title page description. Did you mean 'doesn't'? I've made countless ones like that myself, and appreciate when people point them out nicely. I figured I'd try the same.
5883183
It's a meme.
5883283 My apologies. I am not familiar with many of those.
Congrats on your 90th story! XD
This was a joy to preread, and read over again. Luna is best Honey Princess. xD
No doubt about it.
A single law more than a few pages long? Bullshit. No good ruler makes laws like that. Then again this is Celestia we're talking about...No righteous ruler does that.
Don't make an alliance with Saddle Arabia! Next, you're going to want to cozy up next to the camels. Then zebras!
I hope she's not sleeping at night.
Blueblood is one of Celestia's Heralds; her most competent, loyal, trusted and beloved citizens, and the first she has throw themselves into harms way. Blueblood prefers gritty, dirty, violent assignments, but he can handle this.
You're one to talk Celestia. Sister returning? Send Twilight. Discord escaped? Send Twilight. Crystal Empire returned? Send Cadance, Shining, Twilight, pretty much any pony without any experience with said ancient kingdom.
I do too. Right here! <points at crotch> The zipper on these pants is busted. Can you wave your horn and fix it Luna?
Called it! Was this whole fic a set up for that one line? That was good, very unexpected.

Now usually I would be the first to accuse Celestia of massive incompetency and passing off her workload on other ponies (mostly TwiTwi), but in the case of Discord I have to be fair: she could no longer use the EoH and thus was powerless against him.
... Now what we SHOULD point out is that she had no excuse not to help the M6 find them.
Oh, Luna...
5878667 I can think of a number of things...
Whoa, whoa, WHOA! Calm down, bitch, calm down! Whoa! Alright, we'll figure this out, man! Jesus!
Hypocritical much, Sunbutt?
...Adorable
Princess Celestia! Such language

Unless said ruler is trying to pull something, like a certain media darling
5886386 Dear Twilight
Please help me find a better paying job.
Sincerely,
Random Pony.
5890460 Exactly what I mean. A true righteous Leader does not lead through trickery, deception, making every man an outlaw so gain blackmail...

And those are just two. But yeah, laws are many, many pages long. Heck you have government agencies / officials constantly trying to slip statues / laws that will benifit them hidden on things like page 137, or page 64 subsection 5. At least before it gets found and forced to be removed (unless they get lucky).
So yeah, a multi-page law is totally something that happens in real life. All the time. We as civilians either just get the gist of the bill, or only bits of peices of what's in it. Like how it's illegal in florida to bathe naked, yet it's a law that thankfully isn't enforced, yet other than how it's illegal (like having sex with a porcupine (actual law)) Noone really knows more about it than that.)
Add in Celestia being a glutton for punishment, it's not unlikely that she'd deal with laws that are thousands of pages long. By herself, and then wake up to do it again the next day. All because she doesn't tell the nobility to shove it, or give the burden of that paper work to others.
5890460
Hey it's a thing. At least the law she was trying to pass onto Luna wasn't something like a Save All Orphans Post-Haste Act # Ten [aka the SOAP-HAT act] Which would've made Scootaloo a very sad filly if Luna didn't look it over.

If by dirty and gritty, you mean refereeing the "Mare's Mud Wrestling" league, or watching the maids arrange his collection of pony tears taken from the eyes of fillies he torrments at night to fuel his dark rituals. Then sure. Dark and Gritty is him alright. But mostly he lounges about and sees if he can out decadence his friends into a coma.
I just hope he doesn't forget his royal beer bong like the last time he "negotiated" with the griffons.

What she's not being a bitch. She's stressed. 1,000 yrs carrying the weight of Equestria unnescessarily all on her back. Doing a job that is lethal to mortals, in more ways than one. And she needs her sister to step up to the plate and help lessen her burden. But instead, in every thing that could have made Equestria a better place, and given her a 10 - 12 hr break (rather than her normal 4 hr one between 10 hr shifts).
Her sister, whom she has worked (to the overlooking of 6 untrained fillies who are barely old enough to be considered mares, that she sends to almost certain death all the time) to make the world one that she would be proud of and would accept her. Turns around, and doesn't do anything to help. At all. Alliance with Saddle Arabia that would have benefited Equestrian economy? Nope. Griffons where causing problems, lets send Blue Blood instead. Now, Orphanages need help? Let's screw Scootaloo, and ponies like her!
So yeah. Stressed, super stressed. Not a bitch.
5894436 It's. A. Joke.

You give Celestia entirely to much credit. She doesn't do that when sending off Twilight and the Mane 6 to god level threats. If she says anything at all it's like, "This is [insert name]. Here's where he's located, deal with it."
It's her fill in the blank quest dialog for everything from Dragons to Sombra. Otherwise she says, "Hey! It'll be a good idea to go to X place. Don't stress the details."

Then the tree got bored and decided to send her on a fetch quest, so it could give her the worst castle in the world (but Hey! It's a tree not an archetecht, nor an interior designer). So it could just send her to even more vague doom with less information that Celestia had the habit of giving.
So in a way, Celestia's gross negligence on training and prepairing civies for combat situations turned out for the best. Since they are used to it by now and aren't bogged down by such things as safety, or knowing what's going on, or being told just what god level threat / fridge horror / monster they are supposed to deal with.
5894395
Yeah, they kinda have to be long to make sure all bases are covered and minimise the risk of people abusing them/finding loopholes to legally harm society. A short law is a vague law, and a vague law won't stand up in court.
Should be Alliance. 'Allegiance' would imply that the decree would put Saddle Arabia in charge of Equestria.
*Insert sad trombone*
We need a Luna icon, dammit.
Blueblood? I'm sure nothing but good things will happen!
You did fire her. For a thousand years, remember?
And Celestia's hypocrisy shines through in the end!
5894395 Is the SOAP-HAT act an actual thing? What does it do?
6391399
Switch the All and Orphans. And you get SOAP - HAT [P-H = Post-Haste]. I thought it would be something funny to call a made up law, by its opposition.
