It was a sunny day, and Rainbow Dash was helping Twilight put some books away. Suddenly the doorbell rang followed by a voice saying “Special delivery”
Twilight went to the door and was handed a thickish looking letter. Opening the letter she began to read aloud
Dear Twilight,
My circus is going to be in town for the next few weeks, and I thought you and your friends might want to catch the show. Enclosed please find seven tickets (You don’t think I’d forget little Spikey, would you.)
Sincerely,
Harvard Beaufort
Twilight giggled slightly. “My word I haven’t heard from Uncle Harvard in AGES! We have to go.”
“Sounds like fun” said Dash I didn’t know you had an uncle in the circus.
“Oh Harvard isn’t REALLY my uncle just a really old family friend. He isn’t even a pony. That’s his picture over there on the wall.
Rainbow went over to the wall and gazed at the picture. She cocked and eyebrow
“Your family’s old friend is a polka dot pig nosed antelope?”
“Harvard isn’t an antelope you silly, he’s a Yale. He used to be the Canterlot Royal Fencing Master. Taught Shining Armor everything he knows about horn dueling. I’d heard he’d bought a show and gone on the road after he retired. Go and tell everyone about the tickets, they’re for tomorrow.
The next day saw them all at the circus grounds.
“This should be fun” Said Pinkie
I’m Glad you could make it Applejack” Said Twilight “I know how busy you are”
“Ah HAD to come. Wouldn’ta missed it for the world. I got KIN working at this here show. Applejack looked into the distance “Well, here he comes now. Hey Cal!”
“Manzanita!” An accented voice rang out over the noise of the crowd. In a few minutes they were joined by a dark orange pony with a large wide brimmed hat with a feather, a pointed black beard and most surprisingly for someone who was apparently related to Applejack, a unicorn horn.
“Cal, these her is the gals. Gals this here is my fourth cousin three times removed, Calvados.”
Calvados made a low bow, pulling of his hat with his magic. Senores, the pleasure is all mine.”
“Pity you couldn’t make it to the family get together last time Cal.” Said Applejack. “We got the barn back up pretty well, but that nail shooting trick’a yours coulda really come in handy.”
“Ah lo siento I am sorry I could not come, but the show, she was on the other side of the country and I just could not make it. And the show it is not the show without its knife thrower.”
