Celestia gets fed up with Prince Blueblood's whining and lazy attitude, so she comes up with a perfect way to show him what hard work is all about. Turned into a common Earth Pony, Blueblood is sent to live with the Apple family in Ponyville until he learns what hard work is all about, and along the way, he may just find true love as well.

Prince Blueblood is sent to Ponyville for the day, and just can't get over his hoity-toity attitude, even when the rain starts to pour down and he's seeking shelter. Only a certain Earth Pony is willing to offer him protection from the storm, and maybe, just maybe, it'll get the Prince to start seeing Earth Ponies in a different way.
