Rarity had just finished working on the last dress of her order. She smiled as she realized that she had finished earlier than she thought she would. She looked at her artwork again and she was very proud of how those dresses turned out.
“Even better than I expected.” she said. “Why Rarity, you ARE a talent…” she looked over at Opalescence who was boredly watching her from the table. “What do you think?” Rarity asked her cat.
“Meow.” Opal shortly replied before closing her eyes in order to fall asleep. Rarity heard the door being opened and turned to see Sweetie Belle walking inside.
“Back so soon?” Rarity asked her sister. “Hu? Sweetie, what`s wrong?” she added as she noticed that the filly was limping.
“Me, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo tried to get racing Cutie Marks.” Sweetie Belle said and sat down. “As if it wasn`t enough that we didn’t, I also tripped off a rock and I stubbed my hoof.”
“I’m sorry to hear that.” Rarity trotted over to her sister and examined her hoof. “Well, it doesn’t look that bad. Does it hurt when I touch it?”
“No, but it does when I`m walking.” Sweetie Belle replied.
“Well then, I think you just need to rest a little.” Rarity smiled to her. She noticed that the filly was covered in dirt and her coat and mane were scruffy. “Come on, Sweetie, let`s go clean you up.”
Sweetie Belle stood up and followed her sister to the bathroom. Rarity helped her wash off the dirt form her coat and then brushed her mane and tail. When Sweetie Belle was all cleaned up, Rarity smiled and said:
“Fluttershy invited me over this afternoon. I finished my order a few minutes before you arrived and now I`m able to go to her. Would you like to come along?”
“Sure, big sis!” Sweetie Belle replied grinning.
Rarity smiled again and trotted out of the bathroom. “Does your hoof still hurt?” she asked Sweetie Belle that was right behind her.
“A little. I can barely feel the pain anymore.” she replied.
“I`m glad to hear that.” Rarity said. “Get ready, we leave in five minutes.”
