//------------------------------// // Prologue // Story: Sweet Pea // by CartoonNerd12 //------------------------------// The girls could hardly believe it-they were just made official princesses! Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo had been adopted by the King and Queen of Equestria. One minute ago, they were ordinary servants of the castle; the next, princesses. And it was all thanks to their new sisters, Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash. The girls didn't know what their new life had in store for them, but it would certainly be better than the last one they had and hey, maybe they could finally earn their cutie marks! One thing's for sure, they were going to enjoy every bit of their new life together with their new family… Pipsqueak, a small colt with a white coat, a brown mane, and a single brown spot over his right eye, lived in the town of Pony-Ville with his aunt and helped her run an inn. Every night before he would go to bed, he would read tales of far-off places. Sometimes, his aunt would catch him late at night still reading, but she would join him to read the stories to him just so he could finally go to sleep. Pip wished with all his heart that he would go on an adventure someday, but he was stuck on where he was at in the meantime… A grey pegasus colt with jet black hair named Rumble lived up in Cloudsdale with his older brother; both had to take care of themselves. This ambitious colt always found trouble and got into fights with other colts. He tried so hard to prove himself and wanted to escape the life he was living in… On an island kingdom not far from Equestria lived a king and queen with their son, Prince Button Mash. The prince was an anxious colt and very energetic. He spent most of his days playing games and practicing his sword fighting. It was until his mother brought up that someday he would have to get married. The idea grossed him out, but his mother knew better. One day, he'd grow to like the notion, but until that day came, Button Mash will just keep on playing his games, not thinking about any girl that would hold his interest…
