A Day In Ponyville

"You're fired!" Said the stern voice of Filthy Rich at an earsplitting volume.

"But Daddy!" Whined a pinky filly with the stomp of her hoof. Filthy turned to the pink filly, his eyes narrowed. "No buts Diamond Tiara. I will not have a lower class foal-sitter for you." Though Filthy didn't care much for his daughter, he would not tolerate lower class ponies in his household.

"Ugh! You are so unfair!" The filly called Diamond Tiara whined some more, watching as the cream earth pony trotted swiftly out the door with her head bowed. "Who's gonna watch me now?" Tiara asked, narrowing her eyes and glaring at her father.

"Until I find you a good foal-sitter, you're going to have to stay with somepony in Ponyville. It's just for today." Filthy said with a sigh. Tiara groaned again. "What-ever!" She said, keeping her eyes narrowed and fixed on her father.

"Let's go." Said Filthy who was already almost out the door.

"Why can't one of the butlers watch me?" Diamond asked as she reluctantly trudged after her father.

"Usually they would, but there are some on vacation and there are just enough to run the house." Rich replied, sounding annoyed with his daughter and her bothersome questions.

"Well what about Silver Spoon?" Tiara asked, her mood lightening up. The thought of staying with her best friend for the day made her smile. With a shake of his head, Filthy replied. "They're currently in Canterlot, remember?"

"Oh..yeah.." The pink princess replied, her ears drooping.

Filthy Rich rapped on the door of the library, which was opened almost immediately by a short purple and green dragon. "Gah!" He exclaimed upon seeing Diamond. "I mean uh..do you guys need to see Twilight?" The baby dragon asked, looking up at Filthy who towered above him with a cold stare. "That would be superb." Filthy replied, his eyebrow raising as he watched the young dragon scuttle inside while calling for Twilight.

Moments later, the purple unicorn appeared at the door. "Hello Filthy! Hello Diamond Tiara!" She greeted with a slightly nervous smile. Had she forgotten to pay library bills?!

"I prefer Rich." Replied the greasy maned stallion, as usually did to ponies who called him 'Filthy'. It was just plain insulting!

"Hehe...anyway, what can I help you to with?" Twilight asked, scratching the back of her head with a hoof as if she was trying to remember something. Diamond Tiara stretched her neck so she could peer into the library. Ugh, it's waaaay too nerdy. Even if Twilight lets me stay here I won't! The spoiled filly thought to herself, looking up at the baby blue sky with her eyes narrowed. Why was the weather so happy when she wasn't? Didn't the world revolve around her?

"I need a foal-sitter for Diamond Tiara. Just for today while I go off on a meeting." Rich explained.

"Oh, well I don't know.." Twilight trailed off before asking, "What happened to the old sitter?"

"Daddy fired her." Tiara said, turning her gaze from the sky to the purple unicorn who was standing before her and her father.

"O-oh, well I would I really would but I...I gotta.." Twilight began, but couldn't finish.

"We have library work to do!" Chimed in Spike before he slammed the door shut. Filthy sighed loudly and shook his head, turning around. Next place to go, Sweet Apple Acres. Surely they'd take Diamond in, since their families had strong connections.
