It should be noted, that even though some opposites work together, there are some that never work out.

This story is about two girls who although the live in the same town and go to the same school, have two very different lives.

Diamond Tiara, was the daughter of the richest man in town, Filthy Rich. He always got his daughter whatever she wanted and treated her like a princess. For Tiara everything was there for her, she never had to do anything for herself.

Apple Bloom was the youngest of the Apple family who ran the apple farm at Sweet Apple Acres. Her family consists of her sister Applejack, her brother Big Macintosh, and their grandmother Granny Smith. Now although a lot of people liked apples, the Apple family was not the richest of families in town, and each sibling had to do everything for themselves, with a little help from the others at times.

Our story begins on the morning after a night of storms; trees were blown down, some bringing power lines with them. Diamond Tiara was just waking up, and went over to her make-up desk to straighten her hair except the strengtheners weren't working. She put them down slightly annoyed, and walked over to the television to watch her morning show. But the TV wasn't working either. Saying to herself that she'll catch it later, Tiara went down stairs. Seeing how dark it was she tried turning the lights on, but nothing happened.

"The bulbs must have gone again," she said to herself, and carried on walking in darkness. When she got to the kitchen, she got herself a bowl of porridge mixed in the milk, and put it the microwave and turned it on, but it didn't come on.

Just then her father came in straightening his tie.

"Daddy everything's broken, my hair-strengtheners, my TV, the lights, and now this stupid microwave," she said running up and hugging him.

"Nothing's broken sweetheart," Filthy Rich said testing the lights. "That storm last night must have knocked down a power cable to our house. We just don't have any power that's all."

"Fix it Daddy," Tiara said pouting.

"This is something for the workers at the power station need to fix honey," her dad said checking his watch. "Now hurry up or you'll be late for school." he said getting himself a buttered bit of bread before heading out of the room leaving a slightly confused Diamond Tiara standing in the kitchen.

On the other side of town Apple Bloom woke up and was just putting her famous hair bow into her hair when a knock came to the door of her room.

"Breakfast's ready Apple Bloom." her brother's voice said.

"Ok," she replied checking her bag was packed of school before going downstairs.

When Apple Bloom entered the kitchen Applejack was layering up the pancakes she and Granny Smith had just made onto the plates and set them on the table.

"Good morning Apple Bloom," she said removing her hat and sitting down.

"Morning sis," Apple Bloom said after pouring syrup on her pancakes. "That was some storm last night wasn't it?"

"Yep," Big Mac answered. "I'll be out on the farm all day cleaning up. Why don't you and your friends help me, after you come home from school?"

"Sure thing bro," Apple Bloom said smiling happily.

"Why I haven't seen a storm that bad for a while," Granny Smith said cutting up her pancakes. "We were the only house that still had power because we get it from a different grid than those in town do." she explained.

Suddenly a clock chimed and Apple Bloom saw she was going to be late. Stuffing the rest of her pancakes in her mouth, and downing her drink, she hugged everyone went to get her bag, yelled "See you later," and left for school.

As Apple Bloom ran to school she met up with her friends Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle and invited them over after school to the farm to help clean up.

"Sure we'll definitely do that," Scootaloo said pushing along her scooter.

"Yeah, Rarity says I've been spending a little too long at the Boutique," Sweetie Belle said talking about her older sister.

They continued talking until... 'THUD!'

Apple Bloom had crashed into Diamond Tiara making both of them fall down.

"Watch where you're going shrimp," a very stressed looking Tiara cried picking herself up and brushing herself down.

"Well sorry," Apple Bloom said getting helped back up by Sweetie Belle.

"Well you should be," Tiara said glaring at the girls. "This morning's been the worst one ever!"

"Well hope it gets better," Scootaloo said not really caring what made it so bad or if it did get better.

"HEY APPLE BLOOM" someone called.

All four turned to see Applejack getting out of the truck holding a bag. Walking up to her, Applejack said "You forgot your lunch when you left."

"Oh thanks sis," Apple Bloom said taking it. "Oh Scoots and Sweetie agreed to come over later."

But Applejack was looking at Diamond Tiara.

"You alright there Sugercube?" she asked.

"That stupid storm last night left my house without power," Tiara said not looking up at Applejack.

"Well you can come and stay with us until it gets it back," Applejack volunteered.

"WHAT?" Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara cried.

"Well you remember Apple Bloom, Granny Smith said we get our power from a different source," Applejack explained "so the storm didn't do anything to us, except leave our farm in a mess."

"But... But..." the two said.

"Why I think that's very kind of you Miss Apple," a voice said behind her. Filthy Rich bought his daughter her lunch, and heard the suggestion

"But Daddy!" "But sis!"

Ignoring the two the grown-ups continued talking.

"I just heard that the power station won’t get itself up and running again until later in the week." Filthy Rich said.

"Well like I said you're welcome to come and stay with us until it does," Applejack said nodding in understanding their problem. "I'm sure Granny and Big Mac won’t mind, what with you buying apple jam from us every year and all that."

"Well looks like you two will be seeing each other a lot over the week then," Scootaloo joked trying not to laugh at the two's faces.

Just then the bell rang bringing the girls out of their trances.

"Tiara," Filthy Rich said "You walk home with Apple Boom and her friends after school. I'll meet you there later when I come home from work."

"But Daddy..." Diamond Tiara whined, but he was already gone.

"Well I better get back and tell Big Mac to prepare the guest room. See you girls later then." Applejack said getting back in to the truck.

"But sis..." Apple Bloom said but Applejack had already pulled away.

"Come on you guys we're going to be late," Sweetie Belle said grabbing the two and pulling them into the school. Scootaloo following close behind her still laughing about what just happened.
