I sat down on row five, seat 7. My eyes lit up as the ponies sped by. "GO! FIREFLY!!!" I screamed at the pink pegasus with a blue mane got in the front of the others. Her Wonderbolt uniform taunted me, a little red earth pony, who would never me a Wonderbolt.

"Yay! Go mom you can beat them!" A scratchy voice said in the booth above me. That's where the families of the Wonderbolts sat and watched their family members race. There sat a light blue or cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane with was really weird to me. "Wait, Firefly is your mom?" I asked. "Ya! And I want to be just like her because she's awesome!" She screamed causing a couple of ponies to stare.

This could be my chance to get close to a Wonderbolt! They only come down to Ponyville once a year. I could go to the ones in Cloudsdale but I don't have any wings! Curse my family's genes!

Apparently in this filly's eyes I was just sitting there quietly. "Umm, hello? Red chick? Are you still sane?" she joked. "Oh, um sorry. I was just thinking. So you live in Cloudsdale?" "I'm planning to be born and raised there." She said winking at me. I rolled my eyes. This filly was cocky...way too cocky. "Do you guys ever come down here just for...fun?" "Why would I? This town is super boring! There's barely any action here! Plus the best possible thing here is the local The Apple Family's Farm which has the best apples!" Her words to kind of insulting to my home, the quietest town with the perfect view of Cantorlot Castle.

I was about to say something rude about Cloudsdale, but then, "JESSICA!!" I turned to see a group of stallions coming up the stadium steps towards me. "See ya!" I started to gallop down the row where my seat was causing all the rich stuck up ponies to glance rudely at me.

Why are they looking at me like that? They have the money to get in here just lying around here! They had no idea what I had to do for the money I used to get in here.

The stallions started to do the same. But it was a good thing they were about 10 or 15 rows under me. "Oof!" something hit me from the side sending me to tumble down towards the stallions. I looked from where I fell a short light blue stallion with a short dark brown mane and tail with a purple top hat with a matching suit stood there smirking at me. I frowned and growled, "Fiddlesticks...".

After hitting my head...a lot the stallions finally caught me and dragged me out the stadium. "Let me go! Ugh...Let...me...go, HALP!" I screamed and struggled. I sighed knowing no one would help a little filly like me. The stallions led, I mean dragged me into an alleyway.

That's when they short stallion with the dark brown hair appeared."Fiddlesticks..." "You miss me Jessica?" "No." "Why not, I'm your father! These are my workers, so technically they could be your workers." "We'll some dad you are you raped my mom and a lot others." "Whatever, do you have my money?" "What do you think? I'm a six year-old who can't get a legal job because of foal protection laws." Fiddlesticks McGee cocked an eyebrow at me, "And your illegal jobs Jessica?"

He just had to bring up the prostitution had he?

"I blew off most of the money to pay for the tickets I get in the derby." I sighed. He slapped his fat little hoof across my muzzle. "All I have left is 45 bits. But I need to go back in the front to collect my earnings for betting on Firefly." I said rubble my muzzle that stung in pain. Fiddlesticks snatched the money from me. "45 is enough to pay me back." Fiddlesticks said tossing the bag with his forehoof, "Keep your earnings." He said before trotting off with his stallions.
