       “Mom!!!!! I think I’m in love!” Crystal Heart half-screamed to her mother. 

“That’s great Chryssie! Now, who is the lucky unicorn?” Princess Cadance said, eager to know more about her daughter’s crush. 

“U- unicorn?” stammered Crystal. Unicorn? Who said her crush was a unicorn? 

“Yes darling. It says in law that a princess can only be with a wealthy Canterlot unicorn!” Cadance said. Tears welled up in Crystal’s eyes. 

“Well, my crush is a poor Ponyville earth pony. You’re the princess of love, you understand… right?” Crystal said, half-crying. Cadance shook her head. Crystal ran to her room, crying. What? She was basically the crystal heart in pony form. 

“It- it’s not fair! Why shouldn’t I get to be with who I want?” she said into her pillow. 'I know! I’ll ask dad!' She thought. She flew into her father’s room. 

“Dad I have a crush on an earth pony so…” she paused, “should I follow love or law?” she said. 

“Honey Bun, you’ll get over it. It’s just a schoolgirl crush, nothing more.” Shining Armor said. Crystal stomped out the door, bumping into the captain of the royal guards, Evergreen. 

“Hello, my dear. Having a bad day? Perhaps my good looks will help.” he said. 

“Out of my way, Nevergreen.” Crystal said. For some reason, she had never liked that self-centered pony. She flew out of the castle. “Why doesn’t anypony understand me?” she said. She knew she would visit Seed Sprout the next day. Yes, Seed Sprout. He was the one, the one for her. Crystal just couldn’t help but start singing.

I never got why they don’t let me choose
The one that is right for me
I can make my own choices
I thought that I was free

They urge me to take
That self-centered Evergreen
But I just don’t think
That he is right for me

They just don’t understand 
That love breaks all laws
And Seed Sprout is the best colt
I have ever saw

I’ve just never seen why
They don’t let him in
While to me above all others
He will always win

Why does law say the stupidest things
I want to bring that law out of the ring
that stupid unreasonable law
the worst thing I ever saw


She cried herself to sleep that night, not wanting to go back inside.
