good thing is there now a ton of free gold and gems..  
inflation woo.

@Ginger_Fig  
Ehh, Cadance complained about being bored in the Crystal Empire. This gives her something to do. And Spike is always cleaning up Twilight’s messes. This is just a role reversal for once.  
As for Luna… I don’t know? You got me there.

@Ginger_Fig  
I’m not sure it counts as Raritys fault, she was under the influence of dark magic, and not even by her ‘choice’ (yeah she chose to do the spell, but she had no way of knowing the implications) Spike on the other hand has never done anything quite so stupid.

This felt like the wrong ending to me.  
The episode should have closed with Spike & Rarity being forced to clean up the mess they’d made.

and they found out it’s eatable gold.

@cheezedoodle  
Alicorns are always on another level.

@cheezedoodle  
Their magic was probably enhanced by their cursed artifacts. Without said artifacts, their magic is not as powerful.

What I thought was odd was the implication that Luna and Cadance were the only ones who’d be able to do anything to fix things. No other unicorns are powerful enough magicians?
 
Get Rarity and Trixie out there doing community service at least.

@albert19  
Celestia is usually busy with other things. That’s why Cadence and Luna came in her place.

@Background Pony #F5E8  
When it involves picking up every piece of a town’s road.

@Background Pony #F5E8  
When you’re doing it for hours or lifting heavy weights.
 
Like regular physical activity.

@albert19  
Celestia did actually help.  
Twilight said that Cadence and Luna had better things to do than cleaning up in Ponyville.  
But Celestia didn’t.

Since when is using a levitation spell physically exhausting?

@albert19  
She leave’s the grunt work for the plebs.

@albert19  
Pecking order.

@albert19  
Cake emergency.
 
And by emergency, I mean “Oh how terrible! This poor cake has been left out to go cold and ungobbled.”

@albert19  
Day at the spa. Scheduled for MONTHS.

I guess all that gold and crystal is going straight to the treasury.

Cadance has now learned that you can’t say that you’re bored.  
For when you do, you just might end up wishing you still were.

yay1 JJ hasn’t let us! i guess he was just busy.

Gonna be a long day for you ladies.

Wonder why Celestia didn’t help…
