Fluttershy and Twilight decided to run away from the Green Kingdom and descended in the Yellow Kingdom. They decided to work as maids for a wealthy merchent. Meanwhile, Sunset was sitting in her throne room, until Sunburn walked in bearing a scroll. "Your majesty, I have a letter from the Blue Country", said Sunburn bowing and giving her the letter. Sunset took the letter and started reading it. "Dear Princess Sunset Shimmer of the Yellow Kingdom, In order for my country to survive, I must have a bride to rule the country with me. But since my country does not have many mares. I must search for my bride in your country. I will arrive tomorrow morning. Sincerely, Prince Flash Sentry of the Blue Kingdom" After Sunset read the letter, she gave a fangirl scream. "Is anything the matter, your highness?", asked Sunburn. "Prince Flash Sentry of the Blue Kingdom is visiting the Yellow Kingdom to seek a bride, and Im gonna be his bride", explained Sunset "Congratulations, your majesty" "Sunburn, prepare a ball when the prince arrives tomorrow" "As you wish" "Now if you excuse me, I must find a dress. Prepare me some of your famous brioche" "As you wish" Sunburn walked into the kitchen, and started cooking. He then opened the cupboards, and started looking around. "I guess I need to get more spices", said Sunburn He walked up to Sunset's room, and knocked on the door. "Yes?", asked Sunset. "Princess, Im going to the market to get some ingredients. Do you need anything?", asked Sunburn "Yes actually", said Sunset opening her door and giving him a dress, "My favorite dress has a hole in it. Can you give it to the tailor to fix it up?" "Of course" Sunburn took the dress, and started walking to the market. An hour later, he grabbed everything he needed to make the brioche, and the dress was fixed. Suddenly, he bumped into somepony. He fell down, and dropped everything he had. "Oh, Im so-", said Sunburn He looked up and saw Twilight wearing a green dress with a white apron. A blush crept on his face. "Oh, are you ok?", asked Twilight "Y-yes, Im fine", stammered Sunburn "Let me help you with that" "Oh you don't have to" "Im a maid, It's kinda my job" Twilight helped Sunburn pick up the dropped items. "Thank you um…", said Sunburn "Twilight. Twilight Sparkle", introduced Twilight "Nice to meet your aquaintence, Ms. Sparkle. Im Sunburn" "You can just call me Twilight" "Such a lovely name" Sunburn and Twilight blushed. Suddenly, Fluttershy walked up to them. She was wearing the same dress as Twilight. "Twilight, I got the oranges and bananas for Lord Fancy Pants, so we can go", said Fluttershy, "Oh, Im sorry. Am I interrupting anything?" "No, it's fine", said Twilight, "I must leave, but I hope to see you again" "Same here" Twilight bowed and walked away with Fluttershy. "Beautiful", whispered Sunburn before walking away. Meanwhile, Fluttershy and Twilight were walking through the market. "Who in the world was he?", asked Fluttershy "Just somepony I met", explained Twilight "He looks an awful lot like Princess Sunset Shimmer" "Hm, I guess she does" They kept walking, until they reached a manor. "Lord Fancy Pants", said Twilight walking in "We're back" "Excellent", said Fancy Pants walking in "Now, tomorrow there's a ball to celebrate the arrival of Prince Flash Sentry, and I want you girls to accompany me" "You want us to come?", asked Fluttershy "Well, you two deserve it since your my two favorite maids", explained Fancy. "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU", cheered Twilight hugging Fancy "Eh, sorry" "It's quite alright, my dear", assured Fancy walking away "I have important business to attend to. You two can have the rest of the day off" Fancy went into his office. "Im really excited about the ball, but how are we gonna get dresses?", asked Twilight "They're too expensive for us" "You can leave that to me", said Fluttershy, "I happen to be an expert at sewing" "Fluttershy, your too kind" "Thank you. Now, let's measure up so we can get started" Meanwhile, Sunburn walked into the castle still blushing. He made the brioche, and gave it to Sunset along with her dress. "Here you go, your majesty", said Sunburn "Why are you blushing?", asked Sunset "Oh, no reason" "Aw, did Burny meet his special somepony" "Maybe" "OOOH HOW CUTE" Sunset grabbed Sunburn and hugged him. "Who is she? Is she rich? IS SHE PRETTIER THAN ME?!", asked Sunset "Her name is Twilight", explained Sunburn "She's one of Lord Fancy Pant's maids, and nopony is as pretty as you" "Good. Now leave and let me eat in peace" "As you wish" Sunburn left the room as his sister ate. The next day, was the ball. Everypony was dressed in fancy outfits. Sunset was with Sunburn, wearing her usual dress. "Sunburn, does my mane look ok? How about my dress? And does my breath smell ok?", asked Sunset nervously "Princess, you look amazing. And Im sure the prince will feel the same way", assured Sunburn "Thanks Burny", replied Sunset hugging him. Suddenly, trumpet sounds played, and a servant appeared. "Now announcing the arrival of Prince Flash Sentry of the Blue Kingdom", announced the servant. The prince walked into the ballroom. He was a tan pegasus with a blue mane with a shield as his cutie mark. "HE'S HERE", cheered Sunset running over to him. "Prince Flash Sentry. It is I, Princess Sunset Shimmer" "It is an honor to meet you your majesty", replied Flash bowing. "Oooh let's dance" Sunset used her magic to grab Flash, and dragged him to the dancefloor. A new song played, and they started dancing. "Your such a great dancer", complimented Sunset "Um…thanks, I guess", replied Flash "What do you think our kids will look like in the future?", "Uhh…" Suddenly, the trumpets played again. "Now announcing the arrival of Lord Fancy Pants and his two guests", announced the servants again. Fancy Pants walked down the stairs with Twilight and Fluttershy. Fluttershy was wearing a pink and green dress, while Twilight was wearing a lovely white silk dress. "Beautiful", whispered Flash blushing. "I know", said Sunset "Our future is beautiful" "I'll be right back" Flash walked away. Meanwhile, Sunburn was still serving drinks. Suddenly, Twilight walked up to him. "Sunburn", greeted Twilight "Oh hello Twilight", greeted Sunburn blushing "I didnt know you worked for the Princess" "Yeah, it's a living" "What's she like? Is she nice" "Well, she has her moments. But, other than that, she's really sweet" "Oh" "Apple cider?" "Sure" Twilight used her magic to levitate the glass. "Wanna dance?", asked Twilight "Sorry, I can't. I have to keep serving drinks" "Oh, maybe later" "Sure" "Ok, Im gonna find Fluttershy" Twilight walked through the crowd looking for her friend. Suddenly, she bumped into somepony and spilled cider on his tux. "Im so sor-", said Twilight She looked up and saw Flash. She started blushing. When Flash saw her, he started blushing as well. "Prince Flash Sentry", said Twilight "I apologize" "Don't apologize", said Flash "A beautiful mare like you shouldn't apologize. Now tell me fair maiden, what is your name" "Twilight Sparkle, your majesty. Nice to meet you" "Twilight, like your mane and Sparkle, like your eyes. Would you like to dance?" "I'd love to" Twilight and Flash started dancing, when Sunburn saw this, he grew a little envious. Then Fluttershy walked up to him. "Excuse me, sir", said Fluttershy "But may I have a glass of cider" "Oh, sorry ma'am", replied Sunburn giving her a glass. "You seem to be distracted" Sunburn looked over at Twilight and Flash. "Aw, how sweet", said Fluttershy Suddenly, Sunset walked over to Sunburn and levitated a glass towards her. "Sunburn, have you seen Flash anywhere?", asked Sunset Sunburn pointed to Flash and Twilight dancing. When Sunset saw this, she did a spittake. "Come with me, Twilight", said Flash "Ok", replied Twilight Flash and Twilight walked over to the balcony. Sunset set the glass down and secretly followed them. She hid behind a plant while they talked. "I bet your wondering why I came to the Yellow Kingdom in the first place", said Flash "Well, yeah actually", replied Twilight "My Blue Kingdom is dying and I need a queen to rule with me. My kingdom has only a few mares and they're all already married. I decided to go to the Yellow Kingdom to seek a bride. I was also hoping to marry the Princess there to get more political power, but I realize that I don't love her" Flash went on one knee and showed Twilight a diamond ring in a box. When Twilight saw this she gasped while Sunset grew angry. "I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Twilight Sparkle, will you marry me? And rule my kingdom with me?", asked Flash "WHAT?!", thought Sunset "YES", cheered Twilight Twilight took the ring and put it on her horn. Then she and Flash kissed. When Sunset saw this, she ran to her room and started crying. Sunburn walked to her room and knocked into her room. "Princess?", said Sunburn "GO AWAY", yelled Sunset "Please let me in" "No" "Why not?" "BECAUSE IM HEART BROKEN" Sunburn walked into the bedroom and saw his sister crying. "I told you to go away", said Sunset "I couldn't stand to see you like this", said Sunburn "Now tell me what's wrong" "My prince doesnt love me. He proposed to another mare…WHEN HE WAS SUPPOSE TO BE MARRYING ME" Sunset continued to cry, until Sunburn hugged her. "Is there anything that can make you feel better?", asked Sunburn "Well, there is one thing" "What is it?" Sunset whispered into Sunburn's ear "Make sure that the Green Kingdom is badly stired"
