fight over toys, kids. Cause ponies do it too.

A recent new toy has been made, every one of the Elements of Harmony themselves.

But now there is a problem. the toy company has decided to put each toy in a rank of how rare they are in some places.

Above that, Ponyville has just gotten their own shipment of the toys, of each character, of each their own rarity...

Who's is rarest?

Pinkie Pie burst through the library doorway, and interrupted the conversation Twilight was having with the rest of the girls.

"Girls! Girls!!!", she bounced up and down.

"What now sugarcube? Last time you came here actin all like that, you dragged us into an ice cream factory, and got us all frozen in a giant tub of mint chocolate chip ice cream.", Applejack said with a straight face.

"But this is different! You have to come, NAOW!"

"Alright, but tell us what it is first.", Applejack argued.

"I Pinkie Promise that you won't be encased in anything this time!", Pinkie promised.

"Alrighty then, let's check it out.", Applejack finished.

The trip to the small toy store was silent, albeit fast. Even when traveling to the other side of ponyville.

Walking in, the very first wall of toys was finished being stocked, the entire set of racks from top to bottom were filled with a small white box, a logo saying: "The Elements of Harmony", on the front, details on the side, warnings, everything else.

The wall itself was impressing. Why so many for a small town?

"Pinkie Pie, what exactly are we looking at?", Twilight asked.

"They made figurines out of us! With attachable elements of harmony, even the beautiful dresses that Rarity made for us at the gala! Accessories sold separately."

Twilight raised and eyebrow, and levitated a box off she shelf to read it.

"Blah blah blah, choking hazard, blah blah blah, you could get one of the elements of harmony and their special element of Kindness, Loyalty, Honesty, Generosity, Laughter, and Magic, with the respectful pony. Results may vary."

She looked the box over, trying to find a way to look inside, but found nothing.

"That's it?", Twilight asked.

"Yup! That's it! I had my sources updating me on this daily! The shipment came in last week, so I've been camping here for whenever they first came out! they've been advertising this on channel nineteen for only a week and a half! Plus, it's not the fact that you get a miniature replica of one of us, but instead, the small rush of the chance to get one of the rarer figures!"

All five other mares stared at her.

"you mean they've made one mare more popular than the others?!", Rainbow Dash asked, rushing to grab a box. All other mares did so too, Pinkie Pie having grabbed one directly after entering.

"Wait, so how do we tell which one is the rarest?", Twilight asked.

"Excuse me.", a stallion in uniform approached, "In order to figure that out, you must by them first."

All mares stared at him, then shifted all at once, each holding their bits out at him in sync.

"Ugh, please go to the end of the line near the register..."

He returned to work, leaving the six mares to rush to the already long line at the one working register.

The six mares were excited upon grabbing a spot, Fluttershy letting everypony go in front of her.

"Aw yeah! I'm gonna be the rarest!", Rainbow Dash boasted.

"What makes you think yours is going to be the rarest? you're brash, a tomcolt, and above that, you can barely keep still, and can't go without saying awesome for a whole day!", rarity replied.

"Look at you, you're a stuck up high saddle mare! That beats everything I do in one go!"

"No I'm not!"

"Beg yer pardon, but I can solve this all now. It's only fair that the hardest workin pony gets the rarest, which is clearly me, as I work every day, harder 'n all a y'all, and still have time and energy to go out with you girls!"

"Uh, no, everypony wants the one pony that leads the team, they always do, and that's me.", Twilight said, interrupting the argument.

For a few seconds, the mares stared at her, then began arguing all at once, loudly.

Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie took a few steps back.

"Wow...they really think theirs is the rarest of them all...It's a one out of six chance.", Fluttershy said silently.

"To tell the truth, I really don't see why they'd fight over em. They're just toys anyway."

"You'd only say that because you know yours is not the rarest."

Pinkie Raised an eyebrow.

"what makes you think that?"

"Well, it's only pony fact that the cutest of all of us should get it, and let's face it, you're just a hyper pony with a cotton candy mane. you just make every stallion and mare crave cotton candy."

"Well, I'll have you know that you could have never been so more wrong. Who throws all the parties? Me. So, everypony knows me more than any of us, which means mine will be the rarest!"

Then the vanilla pegasus and pink mare broke into argument.

By the time they got to the end of the line, none of them would talk to each other. Not a singel sound.

Twilight had taken the first spot, therefore, it was her turn first.

Setting the box on the check out table gently, she relinquished it from her magic grip.

The cashier ran it across the laser diagram that held a complicated mirror system in it, and the machine beaped, throwing up a price for fifteen bits, which Twilight happily payed, setting them in three stacks on the table.

The cashier counted the money, then hoofed Twilight back her box, and it fell open as he took his hoof away, showing a miniature replica of twilight herself.

"Don't worry, I waited till you took your hoof away before cutting it open."

The cashier looked at her without care.

Twiligth chuckled, and took her figurine away, trotting off with a smile.

Rarity was next, and hers was the same as she, a miniature version of herself.

Same for Rainbow Dash, and the rest of them.

Each got one that was of their owner.

"How do we even tell who's is more rare than the others?", Applejack asked, walking out.

"Very easily.", Twilight began, "We X-ray the remaining boxes."

"Twilight, that may be the most brilliant idea, but my argument stands firm. Mine is still the rarest.", Applejack spoke.

"Suit yourself."

Twilight walked back in, her horn glowing immediately upon entry. Coming back out less than a minute later, she wasn't smiling.

"So, who has the rarest?", Rarity asked.

"I don't know, they caught me just as I was about to use the X-ray spell, and told me to leave."

"Oh, horse apples.", Applejack swore.

"I don't get it though. There is a one out of forty six thousand, six hundred and fifty six chance that all of us would get our respectful figures. This says nothing.", Twilight admitted.

"You know, let's just put this all behind us, because, let's face it, we have no way of telling which toy is the rarest of them all, dear.", Rarity suggested.

"Yeah. Sorry for callin you a stuck up rich, Rarity."

"Oh, no, I deserved it after calling you a country bumpkin in that stereotypical accent I made..."

"Yeah, you don't have to apologize."

After a few more sorries, the six mares all began their trot back to the library.

Entering the library, Spike wasn't there.

"Oh wait, didn't I see him going into the store?", Rainbow Dash spoke up.

"Yeah, I think you're right. I thought I saw him grabbing one of those toys we fought over."

Spike burst through the door.

"Yes!!!! Yes yes yes!!!"

"What's the excitement all fer, Spike?", Applejack asked the jumpy dragon.

"Guys! you wouldn't believe it! I got the only one in stock!"

"One of those pony figurines of us? We've all got one.", Twilight said, each of them showing their own.

"So did I! But I got the only one of me!!! The rarest of them all!! The box even said so!"

"What?!", the six mares said in sync.

"It's true! It says it just on the inside of the lid! See?", he showed the empty box, the lid saying the exact phrase:

Collect them all, plus the super rare, Spike the Dragon figurine with the Element of Loyalty. Limited edition only.
