//------------------------------// // Chapter 9: Beauty is Rarity // Story: Bring Your Friendship Game On! // by Pinkie Pie Sweets //------------------------------// It's been over a weeks since the tryout for the Friendship Games, and everyone are excited that the games will be starting in four days. At the boutique, Rarity is busy making some orders for new clothes, as well as some repairs. Sun, Adagio Dazzle, Fluttershy, and Aria Blaze are helping Rarity with tending the shop, and help with Rarity with whatever she needs, mostly Adagio. Sometime after the Battle of the Band, Rarity has been able to help Adagio get a job at the boutique, since she also has fashion sense too, even though she's a singer. Since then Rarity has been teaching Adagio anything on making clothes and matching them depending on the style. Adagio has also been able to make some clothes her herself and her sisters. Needless to say, Rarity is as proud as can be. Today, they're going to put on a little fashion show to show the new clothes line. As Adagio work on one of the dresses, Rarity comes over, and asks with a smile, "So how is your new outfit going?" "I'd say, it's going great. Although, I can't help it on making clothes that at least have a few spikes on it," Adagio answers. "Rarity giggles and says, "Adagio that's just the way your line it. Everyone idea on fashion is different. Yours are more into music and rock an roll, and kind of a singer kind of way." "She's right about that," Aria agrees. "I know. After all you, me, and Sonata are singers and almost like pop stars," Adagio says, working on the outfit. Then Rarity says. "After all darling, it's the person who makes the clothes, into the other way around. The clothes mostly represent the interest and personality of the wearer." "That's true," Sun replies. After their little chat, Rarity and Adagio continue with the new line they both have come up with while, Sun, Aria, and Fluttershy are helping get things ready for the performance. After working on the show for like almost two hours. Everything is ready for the presentation, and people show up for the fashion shoot.

When the light turn on Rarity is on the stage with the microphone. Rarity announces, "Hello everyone, and welcome to the Carousel Boutique Fashion Show that will be worn by few of my dearest friends.

They are glad that the show has been successes and everyone love the new outfits. "Sure is a great way to create fashion, right Rarity?" Adagio says. "Yes, yes it does," Rarity complements, fixing the outfits. Adagio walk over to the desk as she says, "Good because we already got some orders." Rarity look at the desk to see that there's a stack of papers about a size of a large pencil "Oh my!" Rarity shockley replies. She then calmed herself down, and says, "But I'm sure we can do it." "With our help," Sun replies. "Thank you," Rarity happily says. They soon start to continue cleaning up the shop for tomorrow. As they clean, they start to hear a vibrating noise, and it's loud. "What that?" Fluttershy asks. The others look around to see where the noise is coming from. Arai look around as she says, "It seems to be coming from…" "Sun's backpack," Arai adds pointing to the brown backpack with the shimmering sun mark on it. Sun and the others turn to see that the vibrating noise is coming from Sun's backpack. Sun opens her backpack, take the journal out as she says, "It must be from Princess Twilight." "What did she say?" Rarity asks. Sun opens the book to see what Twilight has written. It takes her a few minutes to understand and read the whole letter. Sun smiles, and shouts, "Yes!" "They can make it! They can make it!" Sun screams with excitement. She then grabs Rarity and spins her and herself around in circles. Rarity giggles as she being spin around, and says, "Going crazy there, it means that Falling Star and your family say they can come visit you for the Friendship Games." "I can wait for all of us to have some quality time together, and to show them around the neighborhood. This is the best day ever!" Sun says with excitement. Sun stops spinning herself and Rarity so they can settle down. "I can't wait to see your brothers and sisters again," Fluttershy says with glee. "I hope we don't have too much trouble with Falling Star," Aria says, not sounding happy. "Why would we?" Adagio asks. Aria sighs, and says, "Remember the Battle of the Bands." Sadly, Sun and the others do remember about it. However, things turn out good at the end. Adagio simply smiles, and says, "I remember, but Falling Star forgive us just like everyone else. Besides, she kind of understands us about letting the power of Equestrian magic go to our heads." Aria smiles back, and says, "That's true." Seeing that things are settled and finish the with the boutique. Everyone have gone home for the day. Sun feels happy that Falling Star and her family from Equestria. She knows that she is going to tell her dad and sister that everything is a good, and they need to get things ready for ti. Sun can't wait for the Friendship Games to take place.
