CHAPTER ONE

"You stupid little blankflank!"

Those words were the most common thing my charming older sister, Princess Snow, said to me. It was always something I had done, which, sadly, was true. Though I had always been Mother's favorite, Father made it painfully obvious that Snow was his pride and joy. He had even hinted that he would rather Snow be heir to Equestria rather than me, Princess Siren. Thanks for the support, Dad!

Anyways, tonight Snow was mad at me because I had accidentally doused Auntie Celestia in soup. Honestly, I only tripped because the tablecloth had gotten wrapped around my hoof! Of course, since this was my life and not perfect Snow's, this sent the soup of half of the Canterlot nobility flying onto my Auntie's face before she could stop it.

It was only Auntie Luna saying "Has anyone here heard the one about the dragon and the manticore?" that broke the 40 second silence and saved me from further humiliation. Once Auntie Celestia had wiped her face clean with magic, she had sent me, Snow, and our brother, Prince Shire, back to our rooms with Twilight Sparkle, our godmare, accompanying us. Fortunately, this prevented Snow from taking a jab at me for now, as Twilight was Auntie Celestia's head advisor and could easily tell her or our parents if we misbehaved. Unfortunately, she was none too thrilled to be seperated from the feast.

"The first time I've seen my friends in seven months and you three had to go and ruin it!" she was fuming. I wanted to point out that she was the one who had moved away from Ponyville in the first place, but I wisely held my tounge. The last pony who had messed with Twilight had had to spend four days in the Starswirl the Bearded Emergency Hospital while doctors tried to put his body parts back in the proper place. I hear he still has his tail coming out of his Cutie Mark.

In the end, Twilight ditched us on the terms of "I should hope you three know where your rooms are." To this day, I can't help but think that maybe none of this would have happened if she hadn't.
