At the throne room in the castle in Canterlot, Shining Armor was putting a block on the top of the big pile of blocks. He smiled when he managed to place the block on the top of the pile without knocking it down. Suddenly, Princess Luna and Trixie stormed into the throne room, knocking down the pile of blocks as Shining Armor gasped in shock. "Sire, I have found a solution to the problem with your daughter." Princess Luna said. "The problem with your daughter indeed!" Trixie said. "Oh, really?" Shining Armor asked. Princess Luna unrolled a scroll, and said "Right here. If the princess has not chosen a husband by the appointed time, then the current ruler of Equestria shall choose for her." Shining Armor tried to give a cracker to Trixie who backed away in disgust, but he pulled back, and said "But Applejack hated all those suitors! How can I choose somepony she hates?!" Trixie sighed with relief, but Shining Armor stuffed the cracker into her mouth, much to her dismay. She spitted the cracker out, and muttered "Jerk." "Not to worry, my liege." Princess Luna said as Trixie walked away from Shining Armor. "If, in the event a suitible prince cannot be found, a princess must then be wed to...hmmm...interesting.

"What? Who?" Shining Armor asked. "The royal vizier!" Princess Luna said as she smirked at Trixie who smirked back. "Why, that would be...me." Shining Armor looked at the scroll more closely, and said "But, I thought the law says that only a prince can marry a princess. I'm quite sure that-" Princess Luna then pulled the scroll away as she said "Desperate times call for desperate measures, my lord." Her green amulet began to flare with power as Shining Armor became mezmerized, and said "Yes...desperate measures..." "You will order the princess to marry me." Princess Luna said. "I...will order...the princess...to..." Shining Armor tried to say, but he snapped out of it, and said "But you're so old!" "The princess WILL marry me!" Princess Luna said as she made her amulet glow brighter to make Shining Armor fall under its spell again. "The princess will marry-." Shining Armor tried to say, but suddenly, a trumpeting noise was heard, and he snapped out of it again as he said "What? What is that? That music!" He ran to the balcony, and looked out in the streets of Canterlot to see a parade going on. He chuckled, and said "Princess Luna, you must come and see this!" In the streets of Canterlot, Discord was leading the parade as he said "Make way for Prince Rarifruit!" Prince Rarifruit waved to the crowd as he rode on Spike's back.

"He's got seventy-five golden camels, sixty-three purple peacocks, and ninety-five white persan monkeys!" Discord said. Prince Rarifruit threw bits to the ponies, and they took them as Princess Luna, and Trixie stepped out onto the balcony, and watched the parade. Applejack stepped onto the balcony of her bedroom, and watched the parade heading towards the castle. She scoffed, and went back in th bedroom. As the parade got closer, Shining Armor ran into the throne room, and ran to the door. He attempted to open the door, but Princess Luna shut the door with her magic as she and Trixie walked to it. Suddenly, the door opened, and the parade walked in. Discord went up to Shining Armor, and said "He heard your princess was a sight that was so lovely to see!" He put the ruler of Equestria on the throne, and said "So that's why he got dolled up and dropped by with sixty elephants, llamas, bears, and lions. He has his brass band, his forty fakirs, his cooks, his bakers, and birds that wable on key! So, make way for Prince Rarifruit!" He went back to his shrunken statue in the pocket of the disguised prince suit. Prince Rarifruit hopped on Rainbow Dash's cloud, and flew over to Shining Armor as Princess Luna pushed the parade outside, and shut the door in anger while Trixie recovered from door slamming on her.

Shining Armor smiled as he said "Splendid, absolutely marvelous!" Prince Rarifruit cleared his throat, and said "Your majesty, I have journeyed from afar to seek your daughter's hoof." Shining Armor stood up from his throne, and walked to Prince Rarifruit as he said "Prince Rarifruit! Of course. I'm delighted to meet you. This is my royal vizier, Princess Luna. She's delighted too." "Estactic." Princess Luna said dryly. "I'm afraid, Prince Rare Boo-Boo." "Rarifruit!" Prince Rarifruit said feeling annoyed. Princess Luna rolled her eyes, and said "Whatever. You cannot just parade in here uninivted and expect to-." She stopped talking when Shining Armor said "By Celestia, she's a remarkable pony." Rainbow Dash smiled, and "Name's Rainbow Dash." Shining Armor looked at Prince Rarifruit, and said "I don't suppose, I might, uh, ride on your friend's cloud?" "Why certainly, your majesty." Prince Rarifruit said. "Allow me." He helped the ruler of Equestria onto Rainbow Dash's cloud, but Princess Luna stepped on it, and said "Sire, I must advise against this." "Oh, button up, Princess Luna." Shining Armor said. "Learn to have a little fun." He pushed the hoof away, and it smacked Trixie in the face. "Ow!" She yelled in pain. Rainbow Dash then took the cloud, and she and Shining Armor started flying around the throne room.

"Oh, look out! Here I come!" Shining Armor said as he and Rainbow Dash went for a dive, and went under Spike, scaring him. "Just where did you say you were from?" Princess Luna asked as the flight continued. "Oh, uh, much farther than you've traveled, I'm sure." Prince Rarifruit said as he smiled. Princess Luna raised an eyebrow, and said "Try me." "Look out, Trixie!" Shining Armor said as Princess Luna, Trixie, and Prince Rarifruit ducked underneath him and Rainbow Dash. Trixie screamed, and ran for her life when she was being chased by Shining Armor and Rainbow Dash. "Hey watch it! Watch it with the dumb pony!" Trixie said. She screamed and ducked. She sighed with relief, but she slammed against the wall. "Ouch." She muttered. "Out of the way, I'm coming in to land!" Shining Armor said. "Princess Luna, watch this!" As he and Rainbow Dash landed on the ground, Princess Luna said "Spectacular, your highness." "Ooh, that was lovely." Shining Armor said as he took a few deep breaths. Rainbow Dash got dizzy, and fell down. "Phew! I'm tuckered out." Rainbow Dash said. "Yes, I do seem to have a knack for it." Shining Armor said looking at Prince Rarifruit. "This is a very impressive youth. And a prince besides." He looked at Princess Luna, and whispered out "If we're lucky, you won't have to marry Applejack after all."

"I don't trust him, sire." Princess Luna whispered out. "Nonsense." Shining Armor said. "One thing I pride myself on Princess Luna, I'm an excellent judge of character." "Oh, excellent judge, yeah sure." Trixie said sarcastically as she recovered from her injury. "NOT!" As Applejack entered the throne room, Shining Armor chuckled, and said "Applejack will like this one." "And I'm pretty sure I'll like Princess Applejack." Prince Rarifriut said smiling. "Your highness, no!" Princess Luna said as she got between Prince Rarifruit and Shining Armor. "I must intercede on Applejack's behalf." As Applejack started to get angry, Princess Luna said "This stallion is no different than the others." She looked at Prince Rarifruit, and said "What makes him think he is worthy of the princess?" "Your majesty, I am Prince Rarifruit!" Prince Rarifruit said in a confident tone. "Just let her meet me. I will win your daughter." Applejack finally snapped in anger, and said "How dare you!" They looked at the princess, feeling surprised as Applejack said "ALL OF YOU! Standing around deciding MAH future?!?! AH am NOT a prize to be WON!" As she stormed off, Shining Armor said "Oh dear." As the saddened Prince Rarifruit and Shining Armor exited the throne room, the ruler of Equestria said "Don't worry, Prince Rarifruit. Just give Applejack time to cool down." Princess Luna glared at Prince Rarifruit coldly, and said "I think it's time to say goodbye to Prince Rare Boo-Boo."
