I'm sorry this chapter is a bit short, I just wanted a beginning out really badly because I'm in love with this story. And you will too! :D


Many moons ago, before Twillight,


"She's absolutely beautiful! look at her yellow mane and tail!" A maid said.

"Look at those blue eyes! Goodness me!" Replied another.

It was the biggest news in Equestria! The richest mare, Mrs. Ella Von Shnoder (a peach unicorn with a red mane and tail), had raised a beautiful white filly, whose name was Melody.

"Get your filthy hooves away from my baby!" Mrs. Ella shouted, quickly taking the maids' hooves off Melody's glass crib. Yes, it was made of glass.

"Oh honey, it's okay, they're just looking at how adorable she is!" Shouted a blue stallion across the hallway of the baby room. He was Mr. Flick Von Shnoder.

"Flick look! He's got your blue eyes!" Ella said, calling over her husband.

"Oh but look, her cheeks are as rosy as yours!" Flick replied.

"Ruth, get us some tea biscuits will you?" Mrs. Ella said, with a angry look.

"Yes madam Ella."Ruth left the beautifully decorated baby room and went through the hallway, which leaded to some stairs.

At the end of the stairs, was another hallway, in the hallway were two doors, one on the right, one on the left.

Ruth walked through the right door, as she went in, revealed a beautiful big kitchen.

The size of it was about the size of a regular, no upstairs home. It had five stoves, and three refrigerators, combined with many counters. The finest chefs from all over equestria worked in the kitchen, making soup, cutting olives, it was absolutely incredible.

"Hey! Jonathan?" Ruth called out to one of the chefs.

"Yup be right with you in a second." He said after drizzling a bit of gravy on to a steak with a ladle. Jonathan trotted over to her, with a smile.

"So what's the big problem this time, diapers? Bwhahaha!" Jonathan joked.

"Haha, very funny. No, biscuits please."

"Mrs. Ella's a bit too pushy with ya Ruth, why can't you just stand up for yourself?" Johnathan asked, as he grabbed a silver plate and opened the buiscuit jar.

"Well, I can't I need the money, to feed my family John, I can't just yell at someone and lose this, seriously I'm making a thousand bits an hour!"

"I don't see why not Ruth, oh and here ya go." He said, handing Ruth a plate of biscuits. "And remember what I said, love."

"Yes, thank you, and I will." Ruth replied before dashing out of the kitchen and making her way through the hallway and up the stairs.

"Darling, I think you need to be a bit more nicer to these people, they work day and night for their money." Flick said to his wife, while holding his foal.

"There's no point in being nice Flick, all it is is some nasty stupidity that Celestia created." Ella replied, "Ruth where are our biscuits you idiot!"

"Coming miss!" Ruth shouted as she ran up the long stair way.

"Darling, please don't! Ruth is trying her best."

"I don't care honey, I want my biscuits, NOW!"

Ruth ran up the steps and now through the hall, But instead of going forward, she slid backwards! "Sorry miss! I keep forgetting that Jarred waxed the floors last week."

Mrs. Ella Von Shnoder slammed open the doors of the baby room and stepped out. "RUTH!"

Jonathan heard it from the kitchen. "Oh dear."


"I pay you thousands and thousands of bits every day, but yet, you're still as stupid as a rock!" Ella yelled.

I'm sorry Mrs. Ella, I was only trying to -

"No! Leave now. I will not pay you, and remember, you are a worthless child."

"Yes miss."

Ruth shut the door as tears ran down her face. "This is terrible absolutely terrible!" She said to herself.

Suddenly on the other side of the door, young Melody began to cry.

"Oh! Dearest! Our little melody's crying!"

"Let us sing her 'the song' then."

"Oh our Melody,"

"Is so beautiful"

"Every inch of you"

"You're beautiful,"

"Our Melody,"

"Now let's rest,"

"For tomorrow we will play."

"Goodnight, our Melody." Flick said, as he kissed her on the four head.
