I walked out of my house before I stopped to see Pinkie walking backwards whilst reading a very long scroll.

"Uh-huh... Interesting... I see... Hmm, that makes sense... Not much of a surprise there... WHAT?!?" Pinkie yelled as she looked at the paper with her eyes nearly popping out. "This is the most amazing thing ever! Why didn't you tell me how amazing this is?! Genealogy is better than cotton candy on top of a fountain of chocolate! You'll never believe who it says I'm related to!"

"Uhh Pinkie, what are you talking about?" I asked in confusion.

"It says in this paper that I am Applejack's cousin!"

"Wait a minute...according to that long scroll, Applejack is your cousin?"

"YES!"

But before I could say anymore she bounced away and onwards to the farm. I had to go to Twilight's library to find out more, I knocked on her door and entered to find a couple of books on the floor.

"Hey there Bond, I guess you saw Pinkie earlier?" Twilight asked as she greeted me.

"Hi Twilight, yeah I kind of in a way. What was she going on about?" I asked.

"Just some genealogical research."

"Come again?"

"Genealogy is the study of family history. Y'know, where ponies come from and who they're related to." Spike explained.

"Oh I see, well I obviously know my family tree...since after all, there is only me, my sister and my cousin...speaking of which. I'll see you again later, I have something to do."

"Alright, see you Bond." Twilight replied, waving as I left her home.

I walked across town before I saw Silver Spoon on her own, before Diamond Tiara came from out of nowhere and tripped her up.

"Ow!" Silver yelped as she fell down kinda hard.

"Loser!" Tiara called her as she galloped away.

I walked over to Silver who was beginning to tear up a little, I was glad her glasses didn't fall and break.

"Silver, are you alright?" I asked as I helped her up.

"I've had worse." she sniffed, "I should've known this would happen."

"I guess Tiara is not going to let this down easily. Looks like you'll need more help in order to settle this for good."

"But how can the cutie mark crusaders help me, after all I've done to them?"

"It won't be too hard to convince them that you've changed, after what they saw a few days ago."

"I guess...where could they be at the moment?"

"Probably on another one of thier crusades...or not."

I saw Sweetie and Scootaloo approach towards us.

"Hey Bond and...oh hi." Scootaloo greeted as she noticed Silver looking down.

"Hey there you two, mind if you spend a bit of time with Silver? I think she needs some 'real friends' to teach her about friendship."

"Friendship?" Sweetie asked.

"But why should we?" Scootaloo questioned, feeling suspicious.

"Come on, you saw the argument right." I told them, "I'm sure that if you give Silver a chance, you might be able to help her get over Tiara."

The two fillies huddled and engaged in whispers before they turned back to us.

"Well, I guess we could try and help." Sweetie said.

"Yeah, so we'll take you to our clubhouse and you can explain everything there." Scootaloo added.

"Okay...thank you." Silver replied as she smiled.

Sweetie, Scootaloo and Silver then walked from town and over to the clubhouse I would assume. I walked further along in town and passing Carousel Boutique, I saw Rarity and Coco coming out of the shop house with a rack full of dresses.

"Now remember Coco, you need to deliver these designs to the station in exactly five minutes before the train leaves for Manehatten, whilst I will clean up our workspace." Rarity said to her before she saw me and trotted towards me and kissed me before she turned and trotted back into her home.

"Hi there Bond, I guess you and Rarity are together?" Coco asked as she began to move the dress rack with her head.

"We sure are and how you are settling into Ponyville?" I asked.

"Far much better than Manehatten, everypony here has been real nice to me like you all have been."

"That's good to know...do you need help with the dress rack?"

"Well I have a few minutes to get this to the train station before it leaves."

"Well allow me to make it lighter so you can move it a little quicker."

I then used my magic on the dress rack and the aura then disappeared. Coco moved her head to the rack and began moving it quicker and easier.

"Actually, this does make it better, thanks for doing that. I'll see you again soon."

"No worries, see you too, Coco."

Coco then trotted through the town and to the station with the dress rack whilst I kept going through other parts of the town, before I nearly bumped into my cousin and Octavia.

"Woah cousin dude!" Vinyl said as she hugged me, "I haven't see you since that celebration when you became a Prince."

"Oh hi there Bond." Octavia added, "Of course I remember that, you're a far much better prince than Celestia's nephew if I say so myself."

Octavia then bowed at me.

"Ahhh you don't need to bow, I'm still the same alicorn pony long before I became a Prince." I giggled.

"Yeah, too right, man." Vinyl agreed, "You're still my cool and heroic cousin."

"By the way, have you heard the news?" Octavia asked.

"What news?" I asked.

"Oh it's nothing really...." Vinyl answered nervously.

"Oh come on, your cousin should know..." Octavia smirked.

"Alright...you know about my DJ partner Neon Lights? I've been...seeing him a few times recently."

"Oooh," I replied, "Are we talking about you dating him?"

"Yeah I guess...but it's not really special."

"To me it is, I say you should definitely keep that hope of being with him strong."

"I'm not much of a lover mare as I am a mare who wants to bring all the bass-lines to Equestria."

"Which I understand completely."

Octavia looked at her watch and gasped. "Oh goodness, I'm supposed to be at Canterlot for band practice in ten minutes... I left my cello there yesterday and I've just missed the train."

"I'll take you there by flight if you want." I suggested.

"Would a prince like you really do that for me?"

"Of course, I'd never leave any pony feel down and miss out on what could've been."

"Thank you very much, Bond. I'll see you after band practice, Vinyl."

"Okay." Vinyl replied before she looked at me, "You're an amazing dude. See you again and thanks for the advice."

"No worries...okay Octavia, just get on my back and hold on tight."

Octavia then got on my back and held on to my waist as I hugged my cousin before I stood back, opened my wings and began to fly from Ponyville and straight to Canterlot. Octavia kept holding on to me, almost for dear life until we arrived just by the cafe in Canterlot. Octavia got off me, she was slightly shaking but she smiled.

"Thanks for doing that, Bond. You're a good friend and a great Prince." Octavia complimented.

"You're welcome, see you soon and have fun with the band practice." I replied.

Octavia hugged me and then turned and trotted to another part of town, I was about to fly off until I heard a voice speak to me.

"Well, if it isn't Prince Bond Racer, I haven't seen you in Canterlot for a long time." Fancypants greeted as she and Fleur De Lis bowed.

"Oooh, it is quite an honour to see your grace and presence in front of us." Fleur added.

"Why thank you, you two. It feels special to be a Prince yes, but I'm still the same alicorn as before." I replied whilst trying not to blush.

"Of course, we know that you would never change and that's why you are the best Prince we've know." Fancypants replied.

"Thank you...I have to go now, but I'll set foot in Canterlot again soon."

"Alright Prince, we'll see your presence here again soon, take care."

I began to fly as I waved to them both before I flew up and all the way back to Ponyville. It was already the late afternoon when I got back and landed down. I then thought of checking up on Silver Spoon until I heard my name called...I'm getting interrupted a lot today it seems.

"Bond, could you help me out please?" Bon Bon asked.

"Oh hi Bon Bon, what is it?" I questioned.

"It's Lyra's harp...it's broken, I was moving some furniture around in the bathroom when I knocked Lyra's harp from the bathroom window, it feel on the concrete path and smashed it."

She then showed me the broken harp and laid it out on the ground.

"So you want me to fix it for you?"

"Yes, please do so, Lyra will be so mad and upset at me if she found out."

"Alright...leave it to me."

I began to use my magic as I picked up the pieces and after a couple of minutes, I had the whole harp back together again and it looked like brand new, I then gave the harp back to Bon Bon.

"Oh wow, you're a lifesaver...thank you! I'll see you again soon..."

She then bowed before she trotted away. I sighed, thinking that I could finally go to the apple farm and to the CMC's clubhouse. I walked all the way to the farm and then to the clubhouse, I heard a conversation from the inside and I listened in underneath the window.

"And that's how I became the filly that I was all this time until a few days ago when I couldn't take it anymore." Silver said.

"So that's why you said all those things to us with Diamond Tiara." Scootaloo replied.

"Yeah, but I don't want that anymore. I want real friends and I can't really excuse myself for the way I behaved."

"You don't need to apologize again." Sweetie said, "We're just happy to know your side of the story and you are worthy of our time as a friend. I believe you can start having great friends by becoming friends with us."

"Yeah, it would be real nice to have a filly like you join our club, even though you already have a cutiemark." Scootaloo added.

"Well, I don't think it would do me any good to be apart of the club." Silver said quietly, "But I will definitely accept your offer of being friends with you."

"Okay, from now on, you are our new friend, Silver Spoon." Scootaloo declared. "We'll let Applebloom know when she gets back."

I peeped through the window and saw them shaking hooves with Silver before giving her a group hug. I smiled and felt incredibly proud of Silver today and also happy that the CMC's gave Silver a chance. As I sneaked back down on the ground and walked back home, there was now the problem of how to deal with Tiara and how she can be prevented from bullying Silver again.

But I guess that could wait for another time, I thought as I decided to call it a day by sunset. I was about to go into my home when I saw Pinkie bounce into town.

"Hey Pinkie, where have you been?" I asked.

"I was with the Applejack family and we were on a trip when they found out I was Applejack's cousin." she replied happily.

"I see, well you can tell me all about it some other time. I'm quite tired after helping a lot of ponies out today."

"Awww, never mind, have a good rest and I'll see you soon."

Pinkie then hugged me before she bounced away.

I walked into my home and after having a late dinner, I heard my door knocking and I had to open it.

"Hey there Bond." Dash greeted.

"Oh hi Dash, what is it?" I asked.

"Oh me and the others along with a few volunteers are going to be taking part in a team competition at Rainbow Falls, all part of the upcoming Equestria Games, would you be able to come along with me and give me, Fluttershy and Bulk Biceps support?"

"You know, I keep forgetting that the games is coming up. You can count on me to come along for the ride."

"Awesome! We'll see you tomorrow."

I smiled as I closed the door, then I called it a day and went over to my bed and recapped on today before going to sleep.

I wasn't expecting to do a lot of favours today and who would've thought Pinkie and Applejack were cousins? Sure they're both earth ponies, but I don't think that counts in some way. Oh well, at least Silver Spoon finally has real friends she can count on, I just hope Tiara doesn't go to extreme lengths to get her revenge...
