Rainbow Dash made her way through the forest after telling the chef about why she was there. To her extreme pleasure. When she told him about the situation between Scootaloo and her parents, he quickly became enraged and was more than happy to not only tell her where they went. But also sent out a search party to bring them in and deliver a copy of Rainbow's letter.

Weaving through the trees, Rainbow kept an eye and ear open for them as she got closer to the last known location of the parents.

The closer she got to the location, the more she noticed something was wrong. Sliding to a halt, she looked at a plant that was at least twice her size. It wasn't really the size that got her attention or concerned her. Instead it was what she saw inside its clear pedals.

A mare? Even if it was a zebra, the fact that she was trapped inside the plant concerned her greatly. From what she can tell, the mare was being kept alive somehow by the thing attached to her muzzle. She really didn't want to know what kind of fate the mare had fallen into nore did she want to experience it herself.

Her ear twitched forcing her to react quickly and shoot into the air and to the side and out of the grasp of a vine that detracted back into a similar plant. She quickly decided to quicken her search and sped through the trees, this time making sure to avoid the large bulb-like plants.

It wouldn't be long before she found them and not in a way she was expecting.

The prince watched as the door opened as a guard entered with Diamond Tiara and her mom. "Miss Ritch. Before I get into why I called you here. Is there anything you'd like to say?" The prince asked using a hoof to slide Scootaloo behind him before softly telling her to wait for his que.

"Have you reconsidered my offer? My daughter is-" Spoiled started before being silenced with a stomp of his hoof.

"Do you honestly think I'd want my offspring to have a self-righteous mare like you as a grandmother?" He challenged.

"I don't know what you're talking about." She huffed. "I'm just a noble mare doing what any proper-" once again she was silenced by a hoof stomp.

"No self respecting noble would treat the lower class as anything less than a pony!" He spat. "Don't forget that you yourself once was a blank flank. And the money that you enjoy from your husband was first earned from the farmers of this town."

"But I..."

"Have lost the respect of the crown." He finished for her. "And your daughter is at risk of following your hoofsteps." Turning to Diamond he took a deep breath. "I will give you a choice. Because you are still young. You can either take lessons on how a proper noble would act. Or talk to your father about what your mother has been doing and teaching you. Just know. If you pick the second option. I will be sending a guard to verify that you spoke to him and find out what he says."

As Diamond thought about it her mom spoke up. "I don't understand what the big deal is." She huffed. "It's not like a blank flank is really that important."

With that the prince nudged Scootaloo with his tail coaching her to come out from behind him. Upon seeing her bothe mother and daughter looked in shock and fear from Scootaloo to the prince. "Diamond… the guards will escort you home." He said coldly. "Your mother has a lot to answer for before she will return home."

Diamond nodded and quickly backed to the door and followed the guard with her head hung and tail between her legs.

Turning to Spoiled, his eyes narrowed. "To start with. You are to serve as a worker for the lower class and as a made for the very blank flanks you so heartlessly disregard. And depending on how things go. You may be allowed to return home."

Gulping, Spoiled bowed her head before following a guard down a side hallway. After a few moments, Scootaloo laughed. "That was sooo worth it." She cheered before giving him a big hug. "That was sooo awesome. I love you!" She cheered. After a moment she realized what she said and considered if she should go for it or laugh it off.

Author's Note

Looks like Rainbow may run into trouble to complete her mission. And Spoiled may regret her choices... well... we can only hope one is true. I wonder what Dash will find though. And how low Spoiled will sink before she snaps.
