"Let's try 'good princess, bad princess'."

"I will be the 'good princess'."

"Cadance shall be the bad princess."

"Huh? Me?!"

Disaster has struck in Ponyville! The Elements of Harmony have vanished, and the town is under attack from the Plundervines. While investigating, Princess Twilight Sparkle happened to see (you) running suspiciously through the Everfree Forest, and while she doesn't find the Elements on you, she does scoop you up for questioning.

While constant disasters and monster attacks drive down Ponyville rent, there's still a bunch of evil plants attacking the town, and the Princesses will find out where you hid the Elements. Or, at least, what you were doing in the Everfree at a sus time.
