I actually can't think of any specific examples from MLP. I don't even know why I mentioned it. KingZeal's example is closer to what I'm thinking of than WackyMeetsPractical, sorry. The Runner Up Takes It All and Second Place is for Winners are conceptually similar to what I'm looking for, but only loosely connected.

Okay, I'll admit that I've been using this to get help with schoolwork. I'm writing a paper about a short story and am looking for examples from fiction to support my point. Sorry for not saying that earlier. What I did was kind of dishonest, and I do apologize. It's this story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Fresne_(lai)

SUMMARY: Basically, there is a beautiful young woman in this story named Le Fresne. Her mother wanted to kill her at birth, but she was abandoned, found, and adopted. She grows up and wants to marry a knight named Gurun. But Gurun must marry someone with noble blood, so he meets another beautiful young woman named La Codre and plans to marry her instead. Despite the hostility from La Codre's mother, Le Fresne is kind and helpful and means no harm. She even helps prepare the wedding bed for Gurun and La Codre, and adds her brocade to it to make it more beautiful. Because of Le Fresne's kindness, Gurun ends up marrying Le Fresne instead of La Codre as they had planned, and everyone is happy.

In my initial post, I was trying to hide the fact that I was actually referencing this obscure story. I'm really sorry for not bringing it up earlier.
