Try putting yourself in my hooves

"Hmm... I think this may NEED something... yes.. just a bit more of this, no... hmm...." Rarity mumbled to herself as she worked on her newest dress in Carousel Boutique. Well, not actually IN Carousel Boutique, more like 10 miles underground Carousel Boutique in a maximum security concrete bunker. Why you ask, was she in a maximum security bunker deep underground Carousel Boutique? Well, THIS dress wasn't your average sparkly over-the-top dress of supreme fabulousness that Rarity usually makes... THIS was her dress for the HUGE party Pinkie Pie was having in the town hall, and everypony in Ponyville was coming, so Rarity needed a dress. And since she decided nopony should see it, she spent a little money on some "extra protection" (By this, we're talking about the whole maximum security bunker thing).

"I think I might need... hmm... AHA!" Rarity exclaimed as a light bulb literally floated over her head (Yeah, this happens a lot in Equestria, you know, magic). She then locked the dress in a chest, locked that chest in another, slightly bigger chest, then locked that in a steel cupboard, then moved a boulder over the steel cupboard (don't look at me, I have no idea how she can lift boulders). After safely locking the dress away, she then walked out of the bunker, triple locked it, then went up the lift (which could only be accessed by a retinal scan) and arrived in Carousel Boutique.

She ran into Sweetie Belle halfway towards the door. "Hey Rarity, have you bee-" Rarity put a hoof to her mouth. "Not now Sweetie Belle, Rarity has some business to attend to". She then galloped off outside Carousel Boutique, in the general direction of the Everfree forest...

On the other side of town, Pinkie Pie was well... being Pinkie Pie. "WHEEE!" "WHOOO!" "WOOHOO!" "Um... WAAAA?" Pinkie abruptly stopped bouncing on her trampoline and sat down. "Hmm... words to scream when having fun... Hmmm.... I've got WEEEE! and "WHOOO" and "WOOHOO" goes pretty well, but... I wonder if "WAAAAA" is going to catch on..." Her train of totally unrelated thought ended abruptly when Gummy did his signature move of biting Pinkie's hair. "Hey Gummy? What's the buzz? Or Bizz... Or maybe Bozz...." Pinkie was about to go into another random train of thought when Gummy bit her hair again, but harder.

"Well somepony's being a grumpy toothless alligator! What do you want so bad Gummy?" Pinkie asked, and Gummy simply pulled big cute eyes and looked towards his now empty bowl. "Ohhh.. You want more Gum-Gums..." she started bouncing towards the kitchen and looked around for the "Gum-Gums". "Hmmm.. I swore you has a full batch last week..." She rummaged through the cupboards but no "Gum-Gums" were to be seen... "Well, looks like I'm gonna need some more Gum-Gums... that means.... A TRIP TO THE EVERFREE FOREST!" She bounced about 5 feet into the air, but was rudely stopped by the ceiling. After a surprisingly quick recovery, she started doing her usual bounce towards the Everfree forest...
