Though new to the elite Canterlot society, Rarity is well known for her aversion to dirt and grime. She can't stand being around it, and will not tolerate others bringing it near her in any fashion. It so happens that Fancy Pants, who had decided to host a dinner party at his house, managed to invite Rarity at such a time that she was free of obligations. Once she arrived, Rarity had a lovely time, conversing with Fancy and his lovely wife, letting them know her thoughts on all the newest trends. The party was getting to the point where many topics had been exhausted amongst the guests, and the focus was now on dinner, so Fancy clapped his hooves together for the meal to be brought out, while the guests settled around the table. Rarity somewhat to Fancy's left, suddenly shrieked as one of the waitstaff nearly toppled his serving tray over onto the lady of the home. Thinking quickly, she caught it in her magic. The guests applauded, but Rarity modestly waived off their cheers. "No, really. It was nothing. I couldn't just sit by while dinner fell on the Fleur, now could I?"
