"Okay Discord, you can do this." Discord said, reaching for the door handle. He had narrowly escaped Coldheart, and had made it too the palace. Surprise kept firing questions at him, most of which e tried to answer.
He opened the door, Surprise gasping at the young Princess, who was currently pacing and muttering under her breath. SHe looked up, and froze. A tense silence filled the air.
After what seemed like hours but was probably only minutes, Surprise broke the silence. "Hi! Are you the pony I saw at the window? Sillyme, of course you are! OnlyPrincessesarealicornsand thewindowponywasanalicornand soareyousoyoumustbeher!Isitfunlivinginthecastlebeca useitlookslikefuneventhoughy ouwerekindasadwhenIfirstsawy ouwhywereyousaddidyoulooseat oyOOOOOHHHHdoyouhavelotsofto ysIneverhadanytoysdoyou?" She said, making sentences into one word.
Celestia was a bit taken aback, but the she smiled. "Yes, you saw me at the window, no, castle life is not and its cracked up to be and yes, I do have lots of toys, although mother says it's not proper for a lady to play with toys."
Discord cracked a grin. "She also said you shouldn't talk to me, but that din't stop you, did it Tia."
Surprise flew up to Celestia and vigorously shook her hoof. "Hiya Celestia! I'm Surprise! Discord Told me alllllllll about you! You sound fun, maybe you could be my best friend! I've never really had a best friend before!"
"And what is the meaning of this?" a cold harsh tone sounded from the doorway.
Meanwhile, a young unicorn was getting ready to go out. She was short for her age, with purple and pink stylish hair, and a light blue coat. A small tiara was perched on her head, a cloak was covering her body and a pair of expensive saddle bags lay next to her, stuffed to the brim with bits. Her parents were out that day, so she was going to go out of the house. She wondered how her parents and the other high class citizen could even bear to keep all their luxuries for themselves, and not even bother too give anything away. This filly was determined to put a stop to that. She had been saving up, waiting for the day she could go out and spread her luck with the rest of Equestria. The first stop on her list was the Vinetail Poorhouse. During one of her carriage trips, Sparkler (as that was what the unicorn's name was), had passed by the old, creaking building. It was in desperate need of funds.
She secured the saddlebags around her waist and set out side, galloping towards the flea-bitten building. As she approached the took of her saddle bags and pushed them towards the front door, leaving a hand-written note by their side. It read:
Money for the poor.
Signed, The Pauper Princess
As she walked away, a young filly that looked about her age stuck her head out and smiled at Sparkler, taking the money inside.
"Thank you!" she called, tears of joy in her eyes. "Thank you so much!"
That day, Sparkler got her cutie mark.
