Five days later, Lina is hosting a fashion festival in Canterstrong HighTown. It's the hundredth annual fashion festival at that. She and Cartier are both displaying outfits in the fashion festival and they couldn't be more excited as they have the chance to meet several other fashion designers including one Suri Mae Polimare, Coco Pommel, and a newer designer who has been getting big lately, Cataline Grant-granddaughter of Catherine "Kitty" Grant.

Around an hour later, the Canterstrong HighTown Hundredth Annual Fashion Fest begins. All the fashion designers use their hired models to show off their designs as the judges and host walk around. They all absolutely love Lina's designs most of all. Even afterwards, they come to her and congratulate her on her amazing designs.

"Awe, thanks," replies Lina with a smile, "I put sweat and tears into these. Besides, you guys are my role models and have been since I was a filly and an aspiring designer. My dresses are my canvas and my joy! Thanks for your praises." She bows as the four walk off. 

Two hours later, the judges and host announce the winners of the festival as well as announce the winner of the fashion auction. 

"The winners," say the judges, "in fifth place-Suri Mae Polimare, in fourth-Coco Pommel, third-Cataline Grant, second-Cartier, and last but not least, our first place, our golden hundredth year ribbon take home winner, is Lina." The five then walk forward and take their awards. Lina takes her golden ribbon with a smile and thanks everypony around her. She then, as the winner, announces the winner of the auction. 

"And the winner of the auction," says Lina, "is Rara Gaits!" Rara comes to the front and takes her winnings. The winnings from the auction-a dress made by Lina and a pendant made by Canterstrong Jewelers. She takes them and returns to her seat. 

A few hours later, the winners head off and sit down to lunch together at the Canterstrong Cafe. There, they chat about the day's events and their love of fashion. Lina couldn't be happier. She's glad today isn't one of those days when she has to go off and take some villain. She's glad she can have a normal day like this every once in awhile and for that, she couldn't be more grateful! She smiles as she continues to talk having the time of her life.
