Princess Ponies 2 (9 page)

TI:
Speaking of friends, you’ve been best friends with Princess Stardust for a really long time, but I understand that this friendship was put to the test today?

B:
Yes, Stardust has been my best friend for ages so I felt sad when she called Pippa her best friend, but today I learned that having two best friends can be twice as much fun!

TI:
You made a big sacrifice for your friends today – you had the lead position in the Equestriathon and yet you gave it up to race down to the beach. Can you tell our readers about it?

B:
I wanted to win that Equestriathon so badly, but when I saw my two best friends in trouble in the water nothing else mattered. I galloped down to the beach, where Stardust and Pippa were struggling to retrieve a golden horseshoe that was stuck in the rocks. The tide was rising around the rocks so it was very dangerous.

TI:
How did you feel?

B:
I was scared, but mostly I was scared that if I didn’t do something then my friends would be in even greater danger. I realised that a lot of responsibility comes with being a best friend – you have to look out for one another. I may not have won the race, but I think I won something much more special – true friendship.

TI:
What’s next for you?

B:
Right now I’m looking forward to dancing the night away with Pippa, Stardust and all the ponies who are celebrating the Royal Games. After the closing entertainment tonight, I’m going to start training for next year’s Equestriathon. With the help of my friends, I might just win it!

TI:
I wish you the best of luck, Blossom, and enjoy your evening!
