As she emerged closer to the castle she became more and more exited to arrive at the ball. Finaly she arrived at the ball. She got out and stared at the castle. Her trance was broken by the footman when he said

"What's wrong?"

"What if I can't do this." she said to him "After all I'm just a simple farm girl."

"And I'm just a goose." he pointed out. She smiled at him took a deep breath and entered the castle. It was a beautiful sight. It had perl white walls, marble floors and magnificent stair cases. She went up one and opened a grand door. she walked right into the party. Evryone stoped and looked at her. There were mumbles from the guests. To her surprise, the stallion she had met recently asked her to dance

"Why, prince Simon I'd be honerd." said Apple Seed with a slight blush. they danced for what seemed like hours. It felt to her like they were the only ponies on earth. Sudenly the music stoped.

"I want to show you something." Simon told her. She followed him out side into a secret garden. he gesterd for her to sit on a swing

"I can't." she said

"but you will." he replied

"I can't."

"but you will."

"I will." she sat on the swing wile he pushed her. They talked until the clock struk 12:00

"I half to go! Thank you for the dance." she said in a hurry

"Wait what is your name." he called back. She ran back to her carige but she lost one of the glass slippers on the steps and left it there. she got in and drove home. Then the apple shrunk and every thing went back to normal, all exept for the one remaning shoo. she walked into the house, up the attic stairs and hid her slipper.
She prepared some apple sider and awated the arivle of the others.

"How was it?" she asked them

"there was this girl who arrived uncompanied. ponies call her the mistery princess." Rarity explained


Apple seed coudent get the affair out of her mined no matter how hard she tried. she wold write about it in a book and keept it hiden with the shoo.

One day to her amazement the slipper was gone.
