A tired father gives his daughter the key to the city - I mean - he mistakenly gives his daughter the key to the royal armory. Somewhere in his sleepy mind, meant to teach her a lesson on what it truly means to become a guard. But without him there, life lessons can wait...Flurry has just hit the jackpot! She was now a zillionaire - her search for pirate treasure bore fruit! The lil' birdie could not hide this ginormous treasure horde in her tiny nest, but her dreams had come true, and her hopes had come to fruition. She was now the richest in all of Ponyland - the bandit now eyes a piece of metal, steel, crystal, bronze, gold, and silver that was recently shined seems increasingly inviting...Oooooh!
