ABC story.

Any other time, Luna would have been happy to attend court. But today was not a normal day. Celestia had just announced that drinking was outlawed in Equestria. "Dangerous and unpredictable" was the given reason. Even wines were to be forbidden! From the minute court had opened, angry ponies had been pouring into the building. Gone were the unspoken rules of "wait your turn" and "don't push anypony exiting the building as you are entering". Hostility and rudeness were rapidly spreading throughout the land of Equestria. Instead of the desired effect of peace and calm, Celestia had begun something that was rapidly spiraling out of the control of both herself and Luna. Just entering the courtroom had resulted in a violent explosion of protests from angry ponies as Luna entered the room. Killings and "accidental" deaths were being mentioned in the furious crowd. Luna had had just about enough of it. Moving swiftly, Luna stepped into the podium located at the end of the enormous room, and spoke into the microphone. "Nopony say another word, or I will not even consider discussing a lift of the ban with my sister" she announced. Ponies everywhere instantly shut their mouths and stared at the starry maned princess. Quickly Luna took advantage of the silence. Regally, Luna took a gathering breath. Switching to the 'royal we', Luna yelled into the microphone. "THE FINES HAVE BEEN DOUBLED". Under the impression that they would be fined for some reason, the remaining talkative ponies stopped what they were doing and started at the princess. Vigilantly one of the ponies spoke. "What fines?". Xenail as a princess should be, Luna answered the question. "You have no fine, good ponies, I just wanted to gain your attention while the zebra who caused this whole fiasco entered the room.". Zecora, who had been trying to sneak though to the room beyond, froze in her tracks. "Well, that's covered, then" thought Luna. And she flew away into the night.
