//------------------------------// // Chapter 7: The Jeweled Cloth line Robbery Part 2 // Story: Sunset Shimmer Please Come Home // by Pinkie Pie Sweets //------------------------------// After what happened at the store, the group goes to the theater, where the fashion show is being held. "So are you two ready for the show?" Sunset Shimmer asks excitedly. "We sure are," Gold Silk replies. "I hope you're right?" Radiance asks worriedly. "Don't worry, I'm sure that your design will win first prize for sure," Jingle replies. After leaving their designs in the theater along with the other contestants' entries, two mysterious figures come inside the theater and take everyone's designs. While Sunset Shimmer and the others are traveling around Manehatten they hear on the news that there was a jewel robbery two nights ago and the police never caught the culprits. When they got to the theater, everyone including the judges and producers of the contest got an unexpected surprise. "Someone has stolen all of the designs!" The female contestant yells in shock. "No it can't be?" The female judge says and almost fainted on the floor, if it wasn't for the male judges catching her in time. "Ok we'll have until tonight to begin the contest. So everyone will have time to remake them," The second judge announces. "Uh oh this is not good," Gold Silk replies sadly. "What's wrong? All you need is to make a new design," Jingle suggests. "But our design took 3 days to make, we might not be able to have a new line done in time," Radiance says sadly. "This is bad. I think the only way for you guys to compete is to find your original design" Sunset Shimmer suggests. "You're right, but first we need to find clues," Jingle replies. "Oink oink oink," The gang hears Herbert and rush over to him. "What is it boy?" Sunset Shimmer asks. Herbert comes to the others and hand Jingle a piece of fabric in his mouth and he recognize right away, "It looks like the same fabric from Ms. Glimmer fur coat." "I'll bet she and her assistant took all the cloth lines," Sunset Shimmer suggests. "But, why?" Radiance asks. "I don't know, but we're going to find out," Sunset Shimmer announces. At that moment Sunset Shimmer, Jingle, and Herbert are looking around for Ms. Glimmer's car. After a few hours they found the car in an abandoned warehouse. When they look at the window they can see that Ms. Glimmer is busy sewing on some jewels on the others contestants' designs. After finishing with the dress she put it inside a suitcase with everyone else designs inside. When they turn to the opposite direction they see that Gold Silk and Radiance's designs are left untouched. "So what's the plain on getting the clothes back, without them seeing us?" Sunset Shimmer asks. "I think I know just the thing," Jingle says in a mischievous way. With that their plan is going to be put into motion. "Soon we will get them all out of Manehatten and then we'll be rich." Ms. Glimmer gloats with all her might. Just then they hear a strange noise at the front door. "What's that?" Her assistant asks. "I don't know, but you can check it out if you don't mind," Ms. Glimmer replies in an unpleasant tone. The assistant decides to open the door but to his surprise Herbert comes running in like he is being chased by wolves. Herbert starts making a big mess of the place. While he is keeping them distracted, Sunset Shimmer and Jingle are able to get inside and get everyone's designs back, along with a case full of jewels. After that they hop on Herbert's back and ride him back to the theater, but the crooks are not that far behind. "After them, they've got our jewels!" Ms. Glimmer says ordering her assistant. "Jewels?!" They all yell. "Those jewels are real," Jingle replies. "The evening news, the jewel robbery, they were going to smuggle them out of town," Sunset Shimmer suggests. Then Jingle says, "We better get moving to the theater, hang on." At that moment Herbert is able to go really fast, but the crooks are still on their tails. At the theater, since Gold Silk and Radiance didn't have their designs, they had to forfeit from participating in the contest. Just then Jingle and Sunset Shimmer who are still on Herbert's back come running into the theater along with the crooks and hop on stage to make a stop. Everyone in the audience got very confused including the judges and contestants. "Gold Silk, Radiance, we found your fashion line," Sunset Shimmer replies, holding their designs in a box revealing them. "Thanks Sunset, you're a life saver," Radiance replies, hugging Sunset Shimmer. "Where did you find them?" Gold Silk asks excitedly. "Officers, they're the ones who stole the contestant's cloth lines." Sunset Shimmer interjects. Just as the two suspects are about to leave one of the officers stop them, "And where do you think you're going?" The male officer asks in a suspicious tone. "We didn't steal them, we have our own and we were just going to… um, enter them into the contest." Ms. Glimmer says trying to explain to the cops. "Oh really? Then explain this," Jingle says. He throws the other contestants' designs from one case, and then throws another case with different kind of jewels to the police. "These two were sewing these jewels on to the other contestant's designs," Sunset Shimmer answers. "Jewels sewed into clothes. I guess we found the thieves responsible for the jewel robbery." The police say as they figure out what was going on. Just as the police are taking the crooks away, Ms. Glimmer replies, "Well we would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those two meddling kids and their pig too." "Now that just leaves the Silk's entries," The first male judge replies. At that moment, the Silks ask Sunset Shimmer to be a model in one of their designs and she accepts. When it is their turn, everyone including the judges became awed by their brilliant designs. They are so impressed that Radiance and Gold Silk win first prize in the contest. After the contest the group went back to the boutique to celebrate "Sunset Shimmer, Jingle, we would like to thank you for everything you did for us," Radiance says in a happy tone. "It was no problem," Sunset Shimmer says. "That reminds me, we just started on working on a new designs inspired by the jewel dress robbery case, and we would like to make you a dress for it." Golden Silk says unexpectedly. "Really are you sure?" Sunset Shimmer asks excitedly. "Yes we're sure," Radiance replies. "There also this, I just got off the phone with the owner of the jewels and they said they would like to give you guys an award for capturing those robbers," Golden Silk replies. "Well Sunset Shimmer, it looks like you're going to be a star," Jingle says as he strums his guitar strings. Sunset Shimmer starts to blush in response to what Jingle said. Later that night Radiance offers them the guest room and all of them go off to sleep for the night. Sunset then starts to think about her friends again and wonders if they figured out what really happened. Then she decides to go off to sleep, since Radiance said the owners are giving them the award tomorrow afternoon.
