"Go long!" Xvital called as she tossed the crown towards Principal Celestia, only for Snails to leap and intercept it. Tossing it back to Snips, he let out a cry of dismay as Applejack caught it with her lasso (and how she'd managed to keep that hidden in her dress, Xvital didn't know), sending it flying back towards the school and towards the Principals. Unfortunately, it didn't reach them; instead, there was a loud smack of metal against flesh as the crown's trajectory took it somewhere else.
