It was another quiet day at the castle, Fluttershy was currently in the animal garden feeding the ducks when her pet bunny Angel hopped up to and tapped his foot. 

"Oh dear,  your hungry aren't you Angel." Fluttershy said. 

Angel would nod and hop on Fluttershy's back. 

"Um hold on a bit Angel let me get somepony to hold down the fort for me first." Fluttershy says before heading off to find her assistants.

Queen Fluttershy would find her two assistants talking with one another. 

"Sorry to interrupt Celestia and Luna but can you two take care of the castle while I'm gone? 

"Of course we will your highness, we'll be glad to help you." Luna would say as Celestia simply nodded. 

"oh thank you so much, I'll be back soon okay?" Queen Fluttershy said. 

"T-take care mistress" Celestia said. 

Queen Fluttershy would then wave goodbye before taking a chariot to Ponyville.

Meanwhile in Ponyville 

Valiant Rhythm would be traveling around Ponyville looking for the carrot vendor as his own pet bunny wanted some carrots to eat. 

He then went in line for the vendor and waits his turn. 

As he waited, he saw a regal chariot fly overhead and land nearby. In his mind he wondered what the Queen of all Equestria would be doing in Ponyville. 

It would not be long until said Queen stepped out of the chariot and walked right behind him. 

"You can go ahead of me if you want to." Valiant Rhythm said. 

"Oh no it's fine mister, I'm used to waiting in line. " the Queen said in a soft but familiar voice,  if only she wasn't wearing a hood to conceal her face. 

"Ok then." Valiant said. 

It wasn't long until Valiant finally got his turn. 

The vendor at the stand glared at him and said, "Yeah what do you want? "

"Wow rude" Valiant thought to himself." I'd like a carrot please. " Valiant said as nice as possible. 

"That'll be 10 bits buddy. " The vendor said. 

"oh well, here you go friend." Valiant Rhythm said before giving the vendor the bits. 

"Okay who's ne-" The vendor never even finished as he set his eyes on the glare of Queen Fluttershy herself. 

"You overcharged that stallion did you?" Queen Fluttershy said. 

"B-but I-" The vendor stammered. 


"Don't you but I me mister you go and give that stallion the seven bits you owe him at once!" Queen Fluttershy ordered. 

"R-right away your highness please forgive me! " the vendor says before running over to Valiant who thankfully wasn't far off and gave him seven bits back. 

"Wow Uh thanks I guess." Valiant said as he got his bits. 

"No problem come again!" the vendor said before rushing back to the stand he worked at. 

"Thank you kind sir." Queen Fluttershy would say once the vendor returns. "now may I get a few carrots for my pet bunny please?"

"s-sure on the house your highness" the vendor said thanking the stars that he wasn't in too much trouble. He then gave Fluttershy the carrots she needed. 

"Thank you have a good day sir." Queen Fluttershy says before she leaves. 

Valiant would watch as Fluttershy would return to Canterlot and only one thing came to mind,"Fluttershy was the Queen of Equestria this whole time and I didn't know!?"

Apparently Valiant Rhythm lives under a rock...
