The four of you entered the elevator which took you directly to the Lung Station where the train is already waiting. Celly led you all aboard and was generous enough to add an extra seat for Princess Luna in addition to yours and Twilight's. Once everyone is seated, Celly cleared her throat made an announcement.
"Alright now, everyone. The next stop will be the Intestine," Celly said, "Normally, this is where foods go through after digesting in the stomach; where nutrients from what's eaten are ultimately absorbed. For Celestia though, she can also use it to hide all sorts of miscellaneous items from prying eyes or palace officials."
"It may be a little impolite of me to ask, what exactly is the Princess storing in there that requires such tremendous security?", you asked.
"Well, for starters, she has half of the gold bits of the 'Royal Equestrian Reserve' stored in there. Insurance in the event that any unforeseen catastrophe occurred. I recalled correctly, Ponyville has constantly been on the request list for the last couple of years."
Hearing that, Twilight gazed around uncomfortably. The library and town has been destroyed and rebuilt countless times since she moved there. The aforementioned destruction caused by either crazy schemes, chaotic villains, or a spell mishap. Almost a million bits in damages has been raked up. But it was the last one that culminated in her ascension to a princess. Celestia got one thing right. There IS a 'price' to my princesshood and it will bite into my monthly allowance soon.
Twilight refocused her attention on Celly who was still talking the entire time.
"...most of the palace's treasure are also locked in the intestines away from prospective robbers. Who would have thought of that? A portable and highly inconspicuous location to stash the nation's money. Heh heh..."
"Wait! Let me get this straight. Does that mean that we've probably handled money that has gone a 'full trip' through Celestia?!," your eyes widened, "Sorry Celly, but that has some rather unappealing implications."
"No no no," Celly laughed, "Celestia wouldn't engage in such abhorrent jokes on her ponies. The storage sections are made of solid materials away from the fleshy portion of the intestines and she now uses magic to teleport them in and out of her body. Don't make any wild conjectures about the Princess next time. You just might get it right."
After several minutes of silence, the train pulled into the Intestine station and screeched to a halt.
"Oh lookie, we're here already!" Celly exclaimed.
The intestine is a hybrid between flesh and the marble interior of the palace; While the floor is set in stones, walls and ceiling retain their organic characteristics. Along the tube-like main corridor, you see multiple doors on either side. A quick peek into one of them revealed large safe-like structure with several layers of protection spells placed on it. You can make out the crates of coins that are stacked neatly in the room. Several identical rooms are found as you proceed down the hallway.
You curiously looked into another room that is refrigerated and found a large assortment of multilayer cakes laid out on a long table. Virtually all flavors is present and labeled. According to Celly, the Princess is a big fan of cakes and would indulge on several in a sitting much to the dismay of her doctors.
"A question I've been meaning to ask: Where did Celestia learned to create all of this in the first place?" you said.
"As a filly two millennia ago, Celestia discovered this strange spell book in her parent's library detailing how to modify the body to house a pony or human in it. Though forbidden to enter, her curiosity still got the better of her. She read that book everyday for months and tried mastering them behind out parent's back. It gradually dawned on me that she possessed this fascination with inner body mechanism; a fantasy, to simply put, of living inside a being. When Celestia decided that she's experienced enough to handle the spell, she unfortunately chose me to be the explorer of her body. But the worst part is, she didn't successfully alter her body and had me trapped in there for a day. I endured all the bodily process mentionable. It was only after my sister got an earful from our mother when she learned about it that I'm finally freed. Now, I'm still waiting for the right time to get back to her on that one."
"Hey! I didn't do that on purpose, Lulu! I wanted to experiment with this newfound spell. Didn't you also botched up spell before?" Celly defended.
"No, sister. Nothing I've done could compared to that. It was a far worse experience than being on the moon."
"Well. I guess you wouldn't mind me showing all those kinky stuffs I confiscated from you to the group, right? I still got them stored here."
The Moon Princess turned red at the jab. "You. wouldn't. DARE?" she spat.
