Gem hunting is part of Rarity's job but she also enjoys to have some company while she's out. Since Spike is not available, Rainbow Dash has to fill the gap. But not before long, they find themselves in deep trouble. Or are they?

A birthday gift for my friend and proofreader TheShadow. He also proofread it.

Rainbow Dash knows one thing for sure, she is definitely not a barbarous, uncivilized dolt who doesn't know polite conversation from a hippopotamus's rear end. And also that she's definitely not the one who's wrong. Rarity is wrong. Rainbow Dash is absolutely, totally, a hundred percent sure of it.

But then why did Rainbow just buy a wagon load of apology bouquets?

When Celestia went on sabbatical into the west, she promised Twilight it would be only a couple of months. A year and a half later, the sun resists control, the country is in ruins, and her teacher is lost in the wilds. Twilight has become the apostate, her faith in her teacher and her teachings waning. In the wake of tragedy, her resentment blossoms into fury and she vows that something must be done. Shadows gather around Canterlot, and old things that should not have been awakened are on the move. The Student goes west, her hope restored by friendship and righteous fury.

The night, at long last, is passing.

When Rarity needs someone to model for her new fashion line and Rainbow Dash turns out to be "the perfect choice", it can only spell out disaster. The pegasus reluctantly accepts her friend's offer, expecting the worst. But as boring as Canterlot is, there is one pony there who utterly fascinates Rainbow Dash, and suddenly she is willing to stay.

The girls play a game of truth or dare whilst opening each other's gifts which leads to the group learning about Twilight's hobby which directly involves Rainbow Dash, much to her surprise.
