INTRO


Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie had arrived in Manehattan, Rarity was all giddy with excitement and joy to be in the big city again. “Oh, isn’t this wonderful!” she cried as she gazed around at all the building and big attractions. 

Pinkie Pie couldn’t stop bouncing around going, “ooh, look at this, look at that, look at these, look at those!! IT’S FANTASTIC!!”

Applejack felt almost embarrassed to be seen with her, “Remind me again why I’m here?” she asked. “Duh, because Twilight let us go on a holiday for completing our latest Friendship Mission.” replied Pinkie.

“Her timing couldn’t be more impeccable…” said Rarity “…It is springtime, and all the new fashions are raging wild for the new season.” 

She reached into her backpack and pulled out three editions of different fashion magazines, “I want to make sure I’m at the top of my league, and that is why I am scouting out my competition. I intend to view every shop and boutique I can find to give me ideas of what I can try.”

Applejack and Pinkie gawked at her with wide-eye expressions.

“Anyway…” Pinkie said “I’m going to check out all the party stores, and if there’s time… I’ll check out every bakery as well. I promised the Cakes I’d see what other ponies are baking.”

“Not me…” said Applejack “I came here to relax and enjoy myself and that is what intend to do.” That was what she said, but deep down she was hoping this day would end soon so she could go home and get back to her chores, which was more her way of relaxing, but then again… she didn’t mind spending time with her friends either.

Suddenly, a coach sped by much too fast, not even obeying the speed-limit signs, and rushed right past the girls at the corner, creating a huge gust of wind that blew one of Rarity’s magazines up the street. “NO!!” she cried.

The magazine bounced and skidded across to the other side of the street and hit a pony’s leg… A light green Unicorn Stallion. His mane was light yellow, and he was dressed, wearing a red shirt with a brown jacket.

He levitated the magazine with his magic, and that’s when Rarity came up to him “Oh, thank you very much, sir.” she said kindly, but the pony got one good look at her, and gasped softly in fear.

Rarity took her magazine-- levitating it with her magic-- and her eyes lit up, “I… I know you.”

But the other pony nervously backed away from, and quickly galloped off up the street much to Rarity’s confusion.

Applejack and Pinkie came up to her, and they saw everything.



“What just happened?” asked Pinkie.

Rarity and Applejack were equally as confused, and Rarity never even got a chance to thank that pony, but she still felt she had seen him someplace before.
