Pinkie: Also, I don’t know if you know this, Twilight, but doing things by submitting forms and having meetings that the Equestrian Bureaucracy is famous for, is not how to do something quickly. In case you haven’t noticed, our Friendship Counsel tends to have to react to stuff on the fly. Bad guys certainly aren’t going to fill out forms and wait for some legislative body to approve their proposals and request. Bad guys do stuff and don’t give a flying flugelhorn about if their actions and plans are legal or socially acceptable. That’s why we also have to be quick to act and counter or deescalate the situations that bad guys cause. I mean, can you imagine just letting somecreature like Tirek steal magic and oppress Equestrian Citizens because we were waiting for Equestrian Government approval to defeat Tirek?

Simple, Pinkie used cake to attract Celestia to a trap.

Tbh Celestia probably doesn’t mind, it gets her away from all of her exhausting Princess duties plus it’s one of Twilights friends so nothing will probably go wrong.

Is it really abduction when she probably just followed her?
