Celestia and Luna, sisters, diarchs of Equestria, have ruled over the land for 500 years. In that time, the sisters have been the backbone of their kingdom. But, does Equestria really need two princesses when it could be ruled by a single queen? The alicorn sisters both believe that only one of them should sit on the throne, and they're willing to fight for something bigger than their kingdom; their freedom.
I would be mad too, if I didn’t get offered a drink.
This needs a sequel where twilight Pulls a fast one on celestia, or makes the kingdom run it self in less than a year and schools them
This explains why they always folded so easily every time a villain showed up
We need a prequel where discord stones himself to make them rule equstria
Imagine if they knew the truth.
Oh...so, THAT'S what happened...
Imagine what then happened when Purple Smart, in her first decree while trying on the Throne for size, put both of them back onto those dusty chairs, and ran back to her School; the true power behind the Thrones really just being a mildly neurotic Headmare of The School of Friendship...
Oh, wait... I did that, more or less...

I like this version of history better.
