//------------------------------// // Episode 3: The Stallion and The Mare // Story: Mr Rich's Filthy Adventures // by Illuminate Sparkle //------------------------------// "Daddy I've been thinking lately..." Diamond Tiara said suddenly while Filthy Rich read a magazine. Oh no. "Yes, I have... What if our adventures exist merely of a pure coincidence. What if some being out there created us because he was bored one evening. Simply wanted to try something new and suddenly begun writing a comedy. A beginning of an endless story with plotholes, horrible grammar and consistency. What if we are part of a fanfi- " "You stop right there young lady!" "But-" "No butts with me! Don't you ever consider your reality being a part of a fanfiction. That would probably be the saddest bucking life ever! Wait a minute, I just summed up your life. Maybe you're right after all... I mean, who would want to write about you? When you have... me." Filthy Rich ended the sentence with his sexy accent. The pale magenta filly was cut off by her fathers loud "hush" as he continued to read the magazine. She looked bored out of the window and saw beneath her the great wild forest. The branches creating the mighty roof protecting the life on the ground from the sun. Diamond Tiara looked in front of her on the soft clouds who got swallowed by the massive zeppelin. "What are you reading daddy?" Diamond Tiara asked curious. "Only through harsh mental training can one become truly powerful. It may seem I'm just reading this magazine but I do so much more... The very words, pictures are being transmitted to my brain who breaks down the matter and then reconstruct it into knowledge. Call it alchemy or magic - This is nevertheless a mental exercise which will be useful for me the upcoming day when I have to sign a contract. I will soon finally own some land just outside Equestria's borders which might have some useful resources." "Why is there a half naked mare on the cover of your magazine..?" "That's you my darling. Your future." After several hours of floating in the air they finally ended up in a small village in the middle of nowhere. The land consisted mostly of dry soil and small stones. The village they entered were pretty much like Ponyville, just a lot more fancier. They walked briskly past hundreds of shops, cafés, restaurants until they arrived outside an enormous palace build of black marble. Unfortunately I can't explain more about this unique palace since Filthy Rich's ego won't allow it. They walked inside, talked to a stallion and went out. "Okay my little attention-filled-princess I can't sign that contract until tomorrow morning so we must stay here longer than expected." "Normally I would whine about this but this luxurious village seems to have everything. Let's go shopping!" Diamond Tiara twittered as her big happy eyes met his. Filthy Rich smiled back towards his daughter. "I have a better idea..." * * * "I can't believe he ditched me on this café" the filly whispered to herself with tearful eyes. " I can't believe how easily she got ditched!" Filthy Rich gleefully shouted to himself while sitting at a bar counter. "Your wife?" Mr.Greenhoves, the bartender, asked as merrily. "That's another story... One more cider please!" "I'll pay for that one..." added a smooth beautiful voice. A white unicorn with a white light-pink mane sat at Filthy Rich's side while she carefully put her left front hoof towards Filthy Rich. "And who might this lady be..?" He asked with elegance while kissing her hoof. "Fleur De Lis but for you, I'm the mare you're looking for" whispered she in his right ear. This is a bit weird, why should I trust her? "I've heard a lot about you Filthy Rich..." Okay... "... The way you treat a mare..." By Celestia who told her? It only happened once... "... I know you want me..." Well she is beautiful but I'm still not- "and I'm rich." Buck this, she got me now. The rest of the evening was magic for Filthy Rich. They chatted, drank, danced, drank even more, gambled, bullied others for being poor, laughed and kissed. The thirst of each other was not enough with just one kiss so they bought barrels of cider. Walked through the night together, while looking at the beautiful design in the sky. Her beautiful purple eyes, her lips, mane, legs and cutiemark. Such a perfect being thought the lucky stallion for himself while they walked past a filly who lonely sat outside the closed café, crying. Such trivial things couldn't stop these two however, who together walked in the night through the beautiful town towards her place... * * * "My head... Where am I? Why is their so much noise?" Filthy Rich opened his vision while it felt like his eyes would get incinerated by the vicious sun. He slowly reeled up on his legs and saw, to his great shock! He was outside in the middle of town, been laying like a hobo at the street's corner. What happened? I thought I was at her place? He began to walk in a terrible form while smelling between a goat and a hydra. Get back to the zeppelin... Have a cold cup of water and - What's this? A note was glued to his dirty tie. Dear Filthy Rich. If you are reading this it means you are more filthy than rich right now. You never met up to sign under the contract so it was sold to me. By the way, hopefully you had a wonderful night with my very good friend Fleur De Lis. The perfect setup. Not only have you lost money now but also lived in an illusion where you thought somepony actually loved you. Sincerely yours, Fancy Pants. PS: Your daughter stole your zeppelin and went home. PPS: Wanna come to my party next week? It's going to be the most fabulous gathering. Fancy Pants tricked me! I have lost land, lost money! Diamond Tiara isn't emotionally disturbed and haven't moved on? Instead is waiting for me back home?!?!?!?!?!?! "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" It's said that somewhere in space, a ruthless henchman of the emperor heard that scream and shed a tear.
