Today was an important day in Canterlot, as Celestia was set to announce the start of a brand new festival. The locals were in fits of excitement trying to work out what it was going to be. A celebration of the nation? A historical recreation of some sort? An excuse for her to eat cakes all day? Any of these options would be roundly applauded. Celestia really could do no wrong in their eyes. She was the ruler who would considered a 99% approval rating to be a deep, personal failure. Luckily such a thing was unthinkable, and an eager crowd assembled outside the castle, ready for her announcement.
