My Little Pony: When Friendship Shimmers

Stepping off the train, one Prince Blueblood made a beeline straight for Rarity's fashion beautique and did his sister-in-law a service by knocking before entering.

"It's open." Rarity's voice came from within. Blueblood wasted no time in coming inside seeing his sister-in-law finishing up a special design; obviously for his niece's date with Spike the Dragon coming up soon. "Oh! Blueblood. You here a bit early. Sweetie Belle and her friends aren't really here yet." Rarity said.

"That's fine. It'll be a nice surprise. I am interested in these Cutie Mark Crusaders myself." Blueblood said. Suddenly the CMC burst into the door with Spoiled Rich right behind them.

"Oh! Prince Blueblood. It's an honor." Spoiled Rich said.

"The honor should be all his, right Blueblood?" Rarity asked.

"Um...don't you mean to call him Prince Blueblood?" Spoiled Rich asked. Sweetie Decided to answer for her sister.

"You here visiting, Uncle Blue?" Sweetie Belle asked. That caught Spoiled Rich off guard.

"Uncle...Blue?" Spoiled Rich asked.

"You didn't know? Rarity's husband; Lucky Belle; was the half-brother of Prince Blueblood." Diamond Tiara said. That information made Spoiled Rich's jaw drop.

Talk about going three for three here. Apple Bloom is related to Granny Anny Smith; one of my husband's most influential business partners. Scootaloo is the sister of the upcoming Shadowbolt member Rainbow Dash. And now Sweetie Belle is the niece of one Prince Blueblood. What is with these three fillies and having connections like these? Spoiled Rich thought to herself.

"Please, if you three young fillies want to simply call me Blueblood, because your friends with my niece, I'll allow it." Blueblood said.

"And there it is...Uncle Blue's usual way of spoiling me and those related to me." Sweetie Belle said.

"Well I'd rather the daughter of my half-brother be spoiled then to wind up as a bad mare." Blueblood said.

"Your such a kidder Uncle Blue." Sweetie Belle said.

"What's with the nickname?" Apple Bloom said.

"It's just a little something Sweetie Belle decided to call me. And I honestly find myself enjoying it. Maybe a little too much though." Blueblood said. That got Spoiled Rich's attention.

"Why do you say that?" Spoiled Rich asked.

"I just never thought I would end up being an uncle in the kind of position that I am in. Lucky Belle should be proud that he got to have you as a daughter." Blueblood said.

"...I'm just wondering if your sure that she is Lucky Belle's daughter and also that Lucky Belle is even related to you..." Spoiled Rich said. That made pratically everyone in the room gasp, and Blueblood to get up in Spoiled Rich's face.

"Just who do you think you are, going around saying something like that?!" Blueblood exclaimed.

"Mom...stop...your causing a scene." Diamond Tiara said. "I'm sorry for my mother's little outburst there, Mr. Blueblood sir. Of course your more then sure of everything. Knowing you, you double and triple checked everything." Diamond Tiara said.

"Well at least your daughter is more well mannered. Your quite correct there little missy: I double and triple checked everything. Sometimes being a prince has it's advantages." Blueblood said.

"I bet it does, but it can probably get really boring sometimes huh? I bet even you need a break from time to time considering how much Sunset and Twilight both say that Celestia is swamped with paper work on a daily basis." Diamond Tiara said.

"You know it little missy. That's actually why I'm here: To take a nice break from all that madness for a good while. Hey, maybe I should hang out with you kids for today." Blueblood said.

"Really? You'd do that Uncle Blue?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"But of course my dear Niece." Blueblood said.

"In that case, there's somewhere we got to take the prince first." Scootaloo said.

"Ah get what your puttin' down." Apple Bloom said.

"Crusader road trip to the clubhouse!" Diamond Tiara said. She noticed she was the only one that said it. "...Well it is..." Diamond Tiara said.

"True but that just sounds totally plain. Not gonna lie." Scootaloo said.

"I tried." Diamond Tiara said.

"And that's the important thing." Apple Bloom said. Diamond Tiara smiled and the four fillies plus one prince headed for the CMC clubhouse.

"...Those four are just full of energy huh?" Rarity asked. "But Spoiled Rich, maybe I should make one thing clear: The next time you do that to my brother-in-law, I will be informing your husband of your behavior. Understood?" She asked. That made Spoiled Rich gulp.

"O-of course Mrs. Rarity Belle...whatever you say miss..." Spoiled Rich said. She had never seen such a scary looking mare before, and now that she was seeing a very peeved off Rarity, she would make sure she would not again.

A lone figure stepped off the next train that came into Ponyville; their entire identity hidden behind a cloak.

"...I've made it..." The figure said. "So, this is Ponyville, home of Sunset Shimmer, the brother of Sunburst." The figure said. "...I hope I find Sunset soon, I have very important information to tell her regarding her brother. Word on the street is that she's been looking for her brother, and I happen to know exactly where he's fled." The figure said.
