Equestrian Fairy Tales
Chapter One: Snow Bright and the Seven Apples
Once upon a time there was a unicorn named Snow Bright. She was a fashion designer and was well known for her tailored goods. She had a gift for turning ice and snow into beautiful, one of a kind outfits and accessories. When Rarity learned about Snow Bright’s special talent, she was not happy. She didn't want to admit it, but she was jealous of all of the attention that Snow Bright received.
She wanted to be the best fashion designer in the land so one day she gathered a basket full of apples from Applejack's farm. She placed a spell on them which would make the first person who came into contact with them unable to create new fashion designs. She gave it to Snow Bright as a gag gift at the annual Fashion Designer Meet in Manehattan. It was her way subtly telling Snow Bright to give up on being the best designer. The magic of the apples was so strong, that shortly after Snow Bright returned home to Ponyville after the annual meet up, they made her pass out in front of Sweet Apple Acres and enter into a deep sleep.
When Snow Bright woke up she was in a farm filled with seven mares. All of the local members of the Apple family like Applejack, Big Mac, Apple Bloom and Granny Smith were present. However, snow bright noted that Caramel, Apple Strudel, and Babs Seed were also at the farmhouse which she later learned was because they had just arrived in town for the annual Apple Family Reunion.
She wanted to thank them for their help by making each one a special accessory. However, when she tried to use her magic to create a special piece for each of the Apple family members, she found that her magic wouldn't work. This made her fall into a deep depression. One of the older Apple family members, Apple Strudel, decided that he should call Twilight Sparkle for help.
Twilight Sparkle visited the Apple farm and took note of all the symptoms Snow Bright told her she was experiencing. After running a test on the apples she received, she realized that a spell had been cast upon them. She gave Snow bright a potion that she put together in Granny Smith’s kitchen and had her drink it. This returned Snow Bright’s fashion abilities and made it possible for her to make a special gift for each Apple family member. For Apple Strudel, she made a new pair of lederhosen. For Applejack, she made a sparkly cowboy hat. For Big Mac, she made a fashionable yolk out of dark ebony. For Apple Bloom she made a pretty bow out of green satin. For Babs Seed she made a stylish baseball cap. For Granny Smith she made a pink knitted shall. And for Caramel she made pair of black, leather cowboy boots.
Finally she made a beautiful satin cloak for Twilight Sparkle as thanks for helping her break the spell. Everyone was very grateful for their gifts but they knew that Rarity still needed to be taught a lesson. They wanted to help Snow Bright so they hosted a fashion contest and pitted Rarity and Snow Bright against one another. Rarity felt bad about the apples so she agreed to compete against Snow Bright for the title of best local fashion designer fair and square.
Everyone in Ponyville was invited to the show. Each contestant showed off their best outfits. Mayor Mare acted as one of the judges of the fashion show, along with Twilight Sparkle, and the seven members of the apple family. At the end of the day, snow Bright ended up winning first place for her one-of-a-kind winter inspired couture. Rarity threw a small fit when she lost, but quickly got over it. She felt bad about giving Snow bright the basket of apples and asked Snow to forgive her. Snow bright humbly accepted her apology. The two later became good friends and opened a boutique together in Manehattan. But Snow Bright always sold less than Rarity because Rarity was still the best designer of them all.
