ACT I SCENE 3:

Enter Big Daddy and Rosy Riveter.

Big Daddy said to Rosy Riveter, "Hey Rosy, did you call Aquamarine down here?"

Rosy Riveter, a burly female McColt said, "I told you she's on her way. Hey Aqua, your daddy wants to see you!"

Aquamarine went out of one of the houses and came over to Big Daddy and Rosy.

"You wanted to see me?"

Big Daddy said, "We need to talk just the two of us."

He turned and saw Rosy trying to leave.

"Rosy stay! You know Aquamarine better than I do."

Rosy Riveter nodded, "Ah know everything about her, even her birthday. April 22nd, 1999."

Big Daddy said, "Well the reason I called Aquamarine here was that-"

Rosy interrupted him and went into a lengthy flashback,

"She's almost 18, *sniff* she looks just like her mother. Bluebell McColt passed away bringing Aquamarine into this world and I'll never forget that day. Aquamarine had just come out of her mother's womb and Bluebell wasn't doing too well. The nurse said something was wrong with her and that she would die any minute. Then, Bluebell weakly looked up to me and said, 'Rosy, please watch over Aquamarine. I won't be here much longer and I want her to have a mother figure. You're her new mother now.' Then the angels took her to the Elysians, I held little Aquamarine in my arms and swore on my life that ah would always take care of Aquamarine. I was always there for her when she was teething and even helped her through her awkward teenage years. Ah remember this one time when she was 13 and she was smack in the middle of puberty. Just a cute little thing with braces, a ponytail, and a face full of zits. She told me that she looked like a pepperoni pizza and wanted me to help her get some special cream from the market place to make her zits go away. So we went to the market and there she spotted Field Goal, her crush from junior high. She didn't want to be noticed by him but I yelled out 'Hey Field Goal, my daughter loves you!' and then he-"

"ROSY!"

Rosy stopped telling her story.

Big Daddy said, "Please stop this, you're embarrasing Aquamarine."

Rosy ignored him and continued,

"I know Big Daddy but that memory is so funny. Field Goal walked up to Aqua and asked her if she knew me. She told me that she had no idea who I was and then I told him that Aqua wanted to-"

Aquamarine groaned, "Can you not talk about my embarrasing foalhood memories for once?! Celestia!"

Big Daddy looked at his daughter, "Thank you sweetie." he said to her, "the real reason we called you here is that we want to talk to you about marriage."

Aquamarine said, "Why would I want to get married now? I'm still a senior in high school."

"Ah know but it's an offer for after you graduate college. Count Maris of Canterlot wants to get married to you."

Rosy added, "He's so handsome, charming, and rich. He can easily support you."

Aquamarine asked, "Is he a total snob like Prince Blueblood?"

Big Daddy said, "No way! He's better than Blueblood in every way! He's coming to our party tonight. You'll get to meet him! I told him that you have to really get to know him before you can decide whether or not you want to have him as your husband."

Aquamarine said, "I'll see what I think of him tonight. But I'm still young and have lots of stallions I've yet to meet."

Big Daddy said, "It's now 6 o'clock. We have to get down to the Evergreen Valley to meet the caterers and the band. We have to get everything ready, the guest will be here in a half hour and I want this party to be the best party ever!"

Big Daddy soon ordered all of the other McColts to get ready for the party.

Aquamarine came out in a blue dress, blue sparkly ballet flats, and a flower crown in her hair.

All of the other McColts were amazed at Aquamarine.

"She looks just like her mother."

"Celestia bless her soul."

"She's gorgeous!"

Later, as the McColt family walked down to the Evergreen Valley together, Big Daddy nudged Aquamarine, "Sweetie, remember to talk to Count Maris tonight."

"I will."

Rosy Riveter pulled Aquamarine close to her, "Ah want you to find a man who will love you for who you are and will make you happy. Because I know you'll fall in love with that special someone and you two will go off and live happily ever after."

Aquamarine said, "Thanks, Rosy."

"Seek happy nights to happy days."
