	On a particularly nice day, Rarity and Sweetie Bell's father, Magnum, decided to take his daughters out on a family fishing trip. To make it fun, he went out and purchased a large number of drinks and snacks to take along with them. Once they arrived, he noticed that his eldest daughter was surprisingly less fussy than normal, having voiced only a few complaints about the heat and humidity of the day causing havoc on her mane in the span of the previous fifteen minutes. Magnum was a very laid back type of pony, and having raised Rarity, he was used to her antics. In fact, her whining in this situation barely even registered on his parental Geiger Counter. She would have to be a lot more theatrical than that, to convince him that she was unhappy. He had even brought a special lure just for her: A fake worm in a stylish tuxedo. It kept her quiet for the entire carriage ride to the fishing area while she attempted to make it a matching cumberbund. Magnum could only hope it worked as well on the fish. He looked around the fishing hole that they had chosen, and there was only one other pony using the spot. Vinyl Scratch was there as usual. She wasn’t the best fisherpony, but he was a bit envious of her equipment. Her hook was great, but she always dropped the Bass she caught. The day moved on, the weather got hotter and soon the whine from Rarity would make grapes jealous, but Magnum still was having a good time. It was only when he noticed that their precious snack supplies were running low did he consider returning to home. A few hours later all that was left of their refreshment was two cans of soda, both a type that Magnum was not fond of. Wrinkling his face in distaste, he called over to his girls. “Time to pack it in, kids. We’re almost out of snacks, and as everypony knows, there’s nothing worse than a pair a’ Sprites.”
