Apple Bloom // by Dreadnought //------------------------------// Excerpt from the Ponyville Express: Spoiled Rich passed away Tuesday evening at Ponyville Hospital, surrounded by her loving family. She was found a few hours earlier in her mansion unconscious, with cardiac arrest. An autopsy has revealed the cause to be heart failure. Spoiled Rich was born in Ponyville to parents Fresh Milk (decd) and Powdered Milk. She attended Ponyville Elementary before graduating from Ponyville High School. During her time at PHS, she met her future husband Filthy Rich, heir to the Rich family fortune. Spoiled Rich was well known to the community as president of the school board. During her tenure, she was vital in instituting standardized tests required by No Foal Left Behind as well as establishing the Common Core curriculum currently in use. She also oversaw repairs to the school in the wake of Tirek’s attack and the installation of a new playground set. Spoiled Rich is survived by her husband of twelve years, Filthy Rich, her daughter Diamond Tiara Rich, and her mother Powdered Milk. Services are being planned and will be announced on Thursday. Ponies may send flowers to the Ponyville Funeral Home (13 Stirrup Street).
