Pet Fashion Crisis

The Digital Rooster

A loud beeping sound filled the room. Rarity covered her ears, but she was still able to hear it. It kept going for what felt like eternity. Irritated, she found the source of that annoying noise and angrily threw it against the wall with her magic. Blythe sat up in shock and looked at what the banging noise was.

“Rarity, what did you do that for?!” Blythe asked, visibly angry.

“It was beeping,” Rarity answered.

Blythe got up from her bed and picked up the device that was thrown. It was definitely broken. She held it in front of Rarity. “This is an alarm clock! How am I supposed to wake up now?”

“You could have used a rooster like any normal pony,” Rarity said in her defense.

“I am not a pony, and we don’t have roosters here!” Blythe shouted angrily.

Rarity lay back down, “The alarm clock didn’t do a great job at waking you up. If I recall, you woke up after I threw it against the wall.”

“You got a point there,” Blythe admitted. She picked up her phone and went through it.

“What are you doing?” Rarity asked curiously.

“There are plenty of apps for an alarm,” Blythe told her.

“I’m really sorry about breaking your alarm.” Rarity apologized.

“Don’t worry about it,” Blythe forgave. Her eyes lit up. “This app lets you use your own songs as alarms! Zoe would love that!” She downloaded the app.

Rarity folded her blanked nicely and sat it in the corner. She didn’t want to put a used blanket in with the other blankets. It was unsanitary. She didn’t want to leave a mess, either.

Blythe looked down at her body and realized that she forgot to change to her pajamas. She asked Rarity to look away and put on new clothes to wear. Then Blythe grabbed the outfits, and both of them used the dumbwaiter to get to the pet shop.

The pets weren’t there yet, though. Blythe walked out of the day camp and saw Mrs. Twombly. “Mrs. T, is it OK if I make flyers for another pet fashion show?”

“Sure, dearie,” Mrs. Twombly replied. Blythe thanked her and went back into the day camp.

“I’m going to need to make flyers for the fashion show, but I want it to be tonight,” Blythe explained to Rarity. “I’m sure the pets won’t have a problem helping me with the flyers, but I don’t want the same problem to happen again.”

Rarity was confused. “What problem?”

“The Biskit Twins sabotaged the last fashion show I did. It was the first one, actually. They wrote claims of free money on there. Luckily, everything turned out in our favor”

Rarity smiled. “I’m glad it worked out. Have you considered using a charm on the paper to make it impossible to write on?”

“No magic,” Blythe told her.

“Very well, I will put a charm on the flyers after they are ready. The charm lasts three days, so it’s more than enough time.” Rarity explained.

Blythe continued working on the Flyers. Rarity wanted to help, but she only knew how to advertise for ponies. Humans may have been a little different. Humans seemed to be similar to ponies, but were they that similar?

Russell walked into the day camp and made chattering noises. Blythe responded with, “I’m glad you had a great sleep! I’m trying to make flyers for a fashion show, and I need some help.”

Russell made more chattering noises to which Blythe replied, “She is unfamiliar with this world.”

Russell’s eyes widened and he took a step back looking at Rarity. He continued with the chattering noises, and Blythe explained, “Yes, she is an alien. That isn’t anything to be afraid of.”

“What do you mean I’m an alien?” Rarity asked.

“You’re from a different world, and aliens include anyone from another planet. They don’t have to be brain sucking three headed monsters.”

Suddenly, there were loud gecko calls. “No, Vinnie, we don’t have three headed monsters!” Blythe called.

Vinnie made more gecko noises, and Blythe responded with an eye roll.

Rarity felt out of place. She was hearing Blythe talk to the pets, but she had no idea what half the conversation was. The pets continued going into the Day Camp until Zoe arrived. That was when Blythe told them about the flyers.

Blythe had a few flyers already made, so the pets knew what they should look like. They worked together to create several flyers. After each one was made, Rarity used a charm to make them impossible to tamper.

It was already past noon when they created enough flyers. Blythe and the pets went around Downtown City to post the flyers. Rarity stayed back in the day camp and cleaned up the mess.

It still surprised her that the cutie map saw a friendship problem that wasn’t even in her world. What surprised her more was how similar her world was to this world. She expected aliens with extremely high intelligence and the ability to read and control minds, not aliens who were similar to ponies except for their appearance and lack of magic. The aliens in this world, humans, had their own kind of magic, though.

What surprised her the most was that those aliens knew what a unicorn was. Did somepony go to this world already? She knew Starswirl went to different worlds. Perhaps he was that somepony.

Blythe and the pets returned. They were still able to use the stage they used in the last fashion show, so there was nothing else they needed to do. Rarity went up to Blythe’s bedroom, and Blythe stayed at the day camp. Rarity sat on the bed and looked at Blythe’s designs as she waited.
