Friends Stick Together

Colt Prince BlueBlood was stilling in his room, playing with his toy soldiers.

"Master BlueBlood."

The white colt looked up from his green plastic ponies and saw one of his chambermaids. She had a small smile on her face.

"Your girlfriend is here."

"She not my girlfriend! She's just my best friend."

The mare chuckled.

"Whatever you say, Master BlueBlood."

The mare stepped aside as the eager young colt ran out the door. She chuckled lightly and began cleaning up his soldiers.

BlueBlood galloped down the stairs, instantly looking for his best unicorn friend.

"Scritch!"

Scritch, who full name was Scritch' n ' Scratch, had pancake colored fur and a brown mane and tail. Her mane messily draped over her shoulders, strands here and there. She had three spikes, hanging in front of her face. She had green eyes and small square glasses.

"Blue!"

The two locked in a hug for a few seconds.

"What are we doing today?"

"It's a secret."

"And what kind of secret would this be?"

Suddenly, BlueBlood's aunt, Princess Celestia, walked out, pink hair flowing.

"Oh um. Hi Aunt Celestia! It's not a big secret, we're just going to the park."

Scritch let out an angered huff.

"The park? What's so great about the park?"

"If you don't hush, we can't go we're I'm really talking about."

Scritch nodded and zipped it.

"Alright then, I'll have Spectro and Moon Flash go with you."

"Not Spectro-"

"And Moon Flash!"

"Yes, Spectro and Moon Flash."

The two pegasus colts came down from the steps and stood on either side of the foals.

"Don't get into trouble, but have fun!"

"We won't!"

The group of 4 walked out the door.

BlueBlood and Scritch were dragging behind Spectro and Moon Flash. Scritch walked closer to BlueBlood.

"So where are we really going?"

"Well, I overheard some of the adults talking about an awesome pond in the middle of the jungle. I was hoping we could go."

"I've lived in the jungle nearly half my life and I have never seen this pond. Plus, if we do go, how are we gonna get away from Spectrout and Moon Fish?"

Scritch and BlueBlood laughed. Scritch had a habit of making jokes with the two stallions names.

"Nice one!"

Scritch and BlueBlood were still talking. Moon Flash turned and smiled. He bumped Spectro, and nodded toward the foals.

"Aw! That's adorable!"

"Little seeds of romance blossoming in Equestria. Your aunts will be elated. With them choosing Scritch and all!"

The foals looked at each other before looking back at the stallions.

"What?"

"Master BlueBlood, your aunts chose Scritch to marry you."

"Ew!"

"Sick!"

"I can't marry her! She's my best friend!"

"That would be way strange."

"Well, you don't really have a choice."

BlueBlood and Scritch groaned and began to drag on.

"Wait a minute. Don't you have to do what I tell you?"

"Not yet, young master."

"But you do when he gets older. So why wait?"

"Until he reaches the age were he can rule the family business, he's not in charge. And with that attitude, your shaping up to be a pretty pathetic pony prince."

BlueBlood looked at Spectro and Moon Flash, a cocky look sneaking its way onto his face.

"Not the way I'm thinking."

(I Just Can't Wait To Be Prince is playing)

[BlueBlood]

I'm gonna be a handsome prince

To get mares that are fair

[Spectro]

Well, I've never seen a

Prince of Class

With quite so little care

[BlueBlood]

I'm gonna be the main event

Like no prince was before

I'm brushing up on looking cool

I'm working on my score

[Moon Flash]

With how you're planning it

I'd rather mince

[BlueBlood]

Oh, I just can't wait

To be prince

("You've got a longs way to go, young master! If you think...)

[BlueBlood]

No one saying, "Eat that"

("Wait, when we said that...")

[Scritch]

No one yelling, "Come here"

("What we meant was...")

[BlueBlood]

No one scolding, "Cut it"

("Now you don't see...")

[Both]

No one saying, "Stop dear"

("Now, stop! Dear!")

[BlueBlood]

Free to play around all day

("That's certainly gone.")

[BlueBlood]

Free to do it all Blue's way

[Spectro]

I think it's time that you and us

Planned a heart-to-heart

[BlueBlood]

A prince don't advice from

Pegasi for a start

[Moon Flash]

If this is where the family work is heading

Count us out

Out of service

Out Equestria

We would never lay about

We rather work for your

Wealthy brother

Vince

[BlueBlood]

Oh, I just can't wait

To be prince

("Can you believe this kid?")

[BlueBlood]

Everybody, walk left

Everybody, walk right

But, everywhere you walk I'm

Stepping in the spotlight

("Not now!")

[Off Screeners]

Let everypony

Go for broke

Not wince

The water has

Been cleared

That sunlight rinse

It's gonna be Prince BlueBlood's

Finest since

[BlueBlood]

Oh, I just can't wait

To be prince

Oh, I just can't wait

To be prince

Oh, I just can't wait (Hold that note)

To be prince

BlueBlood and Scritch laughed as they ran way from Spectro and Moon Flash. They had gotten trapped on the crowd.

"Sweet! It worked perfect!"

"We lost'em!"

"We are geniuses!"

"Ain't we?"

The foals high-hoofed and began walking.

"Wait a minute."

Scritch was stopped by BlueBlood's arm.

"Look."

BlueBlood pointed at the exact place they were looking for. They high-hoofed again went to dive in.

"Don't!"

The foals turned around to see Moon Flash and Spectro.

"Not you guys!"

"Don't go in there!"

"And why not?"

"Because that's the Equestrian Acid Pool! It burns all who touch it!"

BlueBlood picked a vibe and walked over to the water. He dipped it in and pulled it.

It was smoking.

"Dear Aunt Celestia..."

"We need to go now. Your aunt requests us back at the castle."

The foals followed the stallions back to the family castle.

Celestia looked at her nephew and took a deep breath.

"BlueBlood, say goodbye to Madam Scritch."

"W-what?"

"My mother has decided that it's time that I take throne in Cantorlot. We're moving there."

"N-no. Please! She's my very best friend!"

"We know, nephew. But our sister has to. We are sorry."

BlueBlood hugged Scritch and they refused to let go of each other. They were both crying.

"Come now BlueBlood."

The colt whimpered into Scritch's shoulder before letting go. He looked at her before following his aunts.

(In the carriage)

Everything was packed and they were about to take off.

"Wait!"

BlueBlood hopped out the carriage and over to Scritch. He locked a necklace her neck with his magic.

"This is so you can always remember me."

Scritch looked down at the heart shaped necklace. She took it in her hooves and opened it.

There sat a picture of her and BlueBlood.

She smiled through her tears and hugged BlueBlood.

"I'm gonna miss you, so much. Promise you'll never forget me."

"Never."

The two hugged one last time. Scritch put a collar and tie around BlueBlood's neck. It was big for him though.

"It was gonna be for your birthday, but since I'm not too a be there for it..."

BlueBlood out his hoof in Scritch's shoulder.

"I'm gonna miss you so much."

"I'm gonna miss you, too."

BlueBlood wiped his tears and walked back to the carriage.

He waved as it took off, Scritch waving back.
