It was a beautiful day in the city of Canterlot. All the citizens were going about the place, whether it be shopping, working, or just being formal. But then, they all heard a loud voice saying, "WHAT?!" It was from the castle, from Princess Celestia specifically. She had just seen something of great importance: who would be the Queen of Equestria.
You see, a VERY long time ago, when Celestia and Luna were little fillies, when Equestria was recently found by the early ponies, and when the kingdom of Canterlot was in the making, the sisters' father, King Galaxia, and mother, Queen Universia, planned a day when one of the princesses would become Queen of Equestria, but it wouldn't happen until 5,500 years later. Imagine the waiting time for somepony else to encounter an event like that! But that day, 5,500 years later, would be the day on who would be Queen.
"Sister, what is it?" Luna asked as soon as she heard Celestia scream in excitement. "Luna, one of us is going to be Queen of Equestria!" The excited white alicorn began. "But certainly it's not going to be simple, because Father said that we should be prepared for many challenges to come when the day comes. That day is today, and at night, one of us will be nominated as Queen!" It will certainly be a once in a lifetime event. "Do you think you will become Queen, sister?" the sapient blue alicorn asked. Celestia shook her head in excitement, because we all know she ruled longer than Luna, especially the night princess's 1,000 year absence. Let's break the stats down, shall we?
Celestia: Regal princess of Equestria. She had defeated many evils with her sister, but had to banish her sister to the Moon as well. She has ruled a very long time, and she has the smartest and likely the strongest unicorn pony as her student, Twilight Sparkle.
Luna: Secondary ruler of Equestria. She is a very sapient alicorn pony with a vast amount of fortitude, especially when faced against evil. She was once the dark Nightmare Moon, but was defeated by the Elements of Harmony. She is now even more aware of some things good and evil.
There we go. Now back to the story. The two royal sisters were going to become bitter rivals in this competition for pure control of the kingdom. And Celestia wanted to become queen so bad. But the competition should be played fair.
First up, Celestia, with an enormous boulder 500 times her size, about half the size of the stadium the sisters were in. And everyone was watching, as they were all invited to see the competition, all from Canterlot and Ponyville. The boulder was lifted, twirled, and ultimately crushed by Celestia's fists. Everyone was cheering like mad. Up next, Luna, who would make little rock statuettes while singing a love song in Enochian, the language of angels and demons. After hard concentration and 2 minutes, she had made 1,500 statuettes, all shaped like hearts, showing her love towards everypony. The stadium went nuts, but they were making more noise towards her than Celestia's brute strength, making this pony jealous.
Next, style. Celestia had been dressing up magically for the many events, such as the Grand Galloping Gala. She had used magic to turn herself into what would look like an oracle from Delphi in ancient Greece. Everyone was astonished, but when it came to Luna, they were even more excited as she put on a dress queens would truly wear. A red and blue robe, white top and blouse, boots matching her robe, and a tiara that gleamed brighter than her regular tiara. Everyone had their jaws to the ground at the mere sight of Luna's beauty, making Celestia even more jealous than ever.
Finally, the final event would be sword fighting. Celestia had asked for it because she was so jealous, she would take out her sister to become queen! But Luna, seeing how evil this would be, said, "I will not fight you, dear sister. It's okay for you to be jealous towards somepony, but a severe jealousy like yours could spell trouble." Luna had even more fortitude than when the competition began. Her words began to sink into Celestia greatly that she dropped her sword. She then said, "You're right, Luna. I was set on fixing to become queen so badly that I was getting angry when I lost something in these games. I then became so angry, I wanted to slay you for the throne as queen. Now that I confessed this, I will never become queen as long as I live." She began to tear up a little.
Luna, being the loving alicorn she would be, walked up to her sister and hugged her so tightly. The entire stadium was in an uproar of cheers. Later that night, the priest of Ponyville came up to Luna, saying, "In the name of the goddess and all things good and of love, I hereby nominate you as Royal and Loyal Queen of Equestria." Luna had become the Queen not only for being a powerful being, but also being a caring and loving pony to all. That is what you must be: Caring and loving. Always put kindness with you when facing one jealous of you if you want them on your side. And love them as if (s)he were your own.
End.
