History Fanfic / PrincessCelestiaGetsMugged

* SympathyForTheDevil / StockholmSyndrome: Celestia feels sorry for her 'kidnappers' after realizing they're probably poor in spite of her best efforts at fighting poverty. And the fact they're [[StupidCrooks complete idiots.]]

* CodeName: The StupidCrooks decide to use these ([[Film/ReservoirDogs Mr. Nacarat, Mr. Xanadu, Ms. Razzmatazz, and Ms. Fallow]]) so as not to get caught when they let their captive loose after getting the ransom. 'Sunny Skies' quickly points out she seen them in full view without them taking any pains to disguise themselves, which kind of defeats the purpose. This doesn't stop them from using the code names, but they realize this wasn't a good idea.

* DeathByChildbirth: Part of the background on her mother Celestia bullshitted for herself to explain why the kidnappers weren't getting any ransom.

* DramaticIrony: The audience and Celestia know that she is in no danger whatsoever, as well as the fact 'Sunny Skies' is actually her. The other characters have no idea this is the case and that's were a lot of comedy comes from.

* EpicFail: A lot of the StupidCrooks attempts. One not related to their 'kidnapping' is proceeding to let 'Sunny Skies' convince them to play poker with them. They end up losing ''all'' the money they stole from ''her''.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: The crooks may be muggers and kidnappers, but they don't actually ''want'' to hurt 'Sunny Skies'.
** They're also furious when they discover [[spoiler:somepony kidnapped Celestia...until they figure out [[OhCrap it's them.]]]]
* [[FacePalm Face Hoof]]: Celestia is sorely tempted to do this after a particularly stupid slip by her 'captors', only not doing so because she's tied up.

** Shining Armor has this reaction to realizing [[spoiler:Celestia was never in any danger at all and played along with them.]]
** Luna has yet another upon learning that [[spoiler:Celestia won back all the stolen money in a game of poker]] that's so loud it echoes throughout the entire building.

* GoKartingWithBowser: In one chapter Celestia plays go fish and poker with her kidnappers and wins all the money they took from her.
* HellHotel: Luna's punishment to the annoying nobility when revoking their moon pie privileges doesn't work is to make them stay at Hotel Moon, a rundown hotel 80 blocks from the palace. Their reaction is akin to it being this, but given this is [[SugarBowl Equestria]], it probably isn't.

* LimaSyndrome: The kidnappers become more apologetic to ''Sunny Skies'' as the ordeal drags on. [[spoiler:Once they get over the shock of finding out her real identity, they're probably very thankful they did.]]

* NighInvulnerable: The crooks try to knock 'Sunny Skies' out twice. Both times Celestia describes the hit to her head as feeling like being hit with a pillow.

* NoSell: The crooks hit 'Sunny Skies' in the back of the head to try and knock her out. Celestia barely feels it and has to actively ''remember'' they're trying to knock her out before pretending they succeeded.
** Later [[spoiler:while the royal guard arrive to arrest them]], one of them smacks her in the back of the head with a board to try and keep her quiet. The board ''breaks'' and she still barely notices.

* OnlySaneMan: While he doesn't figure out Celestia allowed herself to be kidnapped for her own amusement, Shining does realize the crooks have ''no'' idea they've kidnapped Celestia and that they probably couldn't actually hurt her even if they wanted to. He also realizes that if Mr. Nacarat was [[TooDumbToLive dumb enough to hoof deliver the ransom note to the royal guard and get himself arrested]], the kidnappers are probably not the sharpest tools in the shed.
* PlayAlongPrisoner: Celestia outright admits that she could've [[CurbstompBattle kicked her kidnappers' collective flanks with no effort at all]] and is only a prisoner because she ''wants'' to be. Why? ForTheLulz.
* PityTheKidnapper: Upon learning how stupid her kidnappers are, Celestia isn't sure to be mad at them or feel bad for them.
** [[spoiler:She does take pity on them and when they are caught they are given jobs in the castle and are pardoned.]]

* TheStinger: The epilogue has Luna [[spoiler: asking for the ex-kidnappers' help in pranking Celestia back.]]

* {{Troll}}: Celestia has her moments.

* WickedStepmother: Also part of Celestia's bullshitted background.
* YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe: Shining Armour says this after learning a squad under his command crashed into the wrong apartment and when he finally sees all the kidnappers for himself.

** Shining Armour says [[ModernWarfare "Let's do]] [[LeeroyJenkins this!"]] before Celestia's rescue operation.

* HellHotel: Luna's punishment to the annoying nobility when revoking their moon pie privileges doesn't work is to make them stay at Hotel Moon, a rundown hotel 80 blocks from the palace. Their reaction is akin to it being this, but given this is Equestria, it probably isn't.

** [[spoiler:She dose take pity on them and when they are caught they are given jobs in the castle and are pardoned.]]
