Bon Bon is brushing her hair in preparation for her father taking her to the cinema... but then, there's a loud noise from her baby brother's room, and it breaks her mirror. She and her other younger siblings go to see what the noise was, and their father tells them that their brother has caught a bad cold, and that he can no longer take Bon Bon to the cinema.
Bon Bon asks her mother, then her older sister Misty, to braid her hair, but they decline as they're too busy helping tend to Baby Pony. Her younger brother Rusty won't play with her for the same reason.
