Sunset Shimmer looked at herself in the mirror at her apartment. She wore an orange jacket over a yellow ruffled shirt. She also has on a long red skirt that stops above the ankles, and red platform shoes.
"I should thank Rarity for this outfit." Sunset said to herself. "I hope those lessons of elegance Fanci Flamingo taught me last year pay off."
Sunset was invited to Spoiled Rich's mansion for an elegant party. And, she wants to make a good  impression. The former bad girl stands outside her apartment. 
"When Rarity called, she said somebody is picking me up." Sunset wondered. "But, who?"
Suddenly, she heard the sound of a horse and buggy approaching. This caughter by surprise. Sunset thought that a limousine would pick her up. Soon, a fairy tale type coach approached Sunset's home. The driver is a
golden skinned girl with flowing blond hair and wearing a glittery outfit. It consists of a silver top and flowery skirt. This girl has white down the middle of her face and pony ears sticking out of her hair.
"Sunset Shimmer," The girl announced, "I'm here to pick you up."
Sunset's eyes widened when see saw this person. "Wow! Peola Pony!"
"At your service."
Approaching the carriage, Sunset gave a polite curtsey to Peola.
"Wonderful show of respect." Peola praised. "Very impressive."
"Thank you." Sunset replied. "So, you're here to take me to the Rich mansion?"
"That's right. Your fashionista friend, Rarity, asked me and my bestie to being you there in style. Besides, we're attending the festivities ourselves."
"I guess you royal Enchantimals get a lot of respect from the elegant crowd."
"You might say that."
Sunset approached a marigold pony with a blond mane and tail. She couldn't help but smile and pet the pony. "Hi, Petite. Good to meet you."
Petite nuzzles Sunset. This makes Peola happy. As soon as Sunset boards the coach, Peola gave the signal to Petite to go forward. Sunset was very impressed with this ride. 
"Interesting experience. Isn't it." Peola asked.
"It sure is." Sunset replied. "I feel like Cinderella going to the ball."
At the Rich mansion, Filthy and Spoiled Rich welcomed guests. A big surprise is Rainbow Dash. She wore a magenta jacket over a white buttoned shirt. She also wore a long skirt and black platform shoes.
"I'm impressed with you, Miss Dash." Filthy Rich said. "You don't usually wear a skirt."
"I can make exceptions." Rainbow replied. "This long skirt matches my hair."
Suddenly, everybody saw a coach rolling in. When they saw Sunset riding the coach, it was another shock.
"Sunset riding a carriage?" Rainbow Dash gasped. "That's new."
Wearing a teal gown,  Rarity approached her speedy friend. "I arranged for Peola Pony and Petite to bring her here, darling."
Sunset went to the front door where Filthy Rich greeted her. "Glad you can make it, Miss Shimmer."
"Thank you, sir." Sunset replied politely. 
Spoiled Rich talks to Peola. "You can park your carriage on the side of the mansion, Miss Pony. Then, you and Petite can join us."
"Will do." Peola replied. 
From inside the house, Sunset watches Peola park her carriage. 
Patter Peacock said that these Royal Enchantimals might remind me of creatures from Equestria.  Sunset thought.  She's right.
