After an uneventful time of talking, eating and Perezz popping up a few times, Dex and the girls had to leave. They waved good-bye to Paice and went near the center of town. Within a few minutes they had come up at Crescendo Boutique. They knocked on the door, and a male voice rang from inside in a very sing-song way. Much like someone they knew.
"Coming~"
The door opened with a light tinkle of bells, and standing before them was a boy. He was about Rarity's height and age, his hair was curled in almost the same style as Rarity's and was a certain purple color. He grimaced when he saw how dirty they were, except for Rarity, who always stayed in tip-top shape. When the boy laid eyes on her, his mouth fell open slightly and he stared with wide adoring eyes. Rarity waved a hand in front of the awestruck boy. He blinked his eyes and cleared his throat.
"I DO apologize. It is ungentlemanly of myself to stare. Please do come in. I will go get tea ready."
The boy slipped inside to show an amazing assortment of clothes. Many mannequins were adorned with different kinds of pants, vests, t-shirts, suits, tuxedos, socks, scarves, dress shoes and other dressing neccessities. Rarity looked around at all the different designs, she gasped at the wonderful patterns and sighed at the beautiful accessories. She couldn't take it anymore, this beautiful boutique was too much. So... she passed out and toppled onto the floor. When the boy came in with the tea he gasped, he put the tea hurridly on the table and rushed over to Rarity. He put his hand on her wrist to get her pulse and his head on her chest to check her heart beat. Then he realized where he had just put his head and blushed wildly.
"RONALDO! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?"
Ronaldo turned around slowly to look at Dex, his friend looked about ready to catch fire. His violet eyes were almost red with anger and his teeth gritted together with a deafening noise. Ronaldo broke into a cold sweat, he stumbled backwards as he tried to escape his friend. At that point Rarity had woken up to the scene in front of her. She sighed and stepped in between them to start scolding.
"Boys, boys. Can you not behave like gentlemen? Dexter, I expected better from, you. Now, stop acting like children and tell me your friend's name please?"
"Ugh... My friend's name is Ronaldo Barchovi. Oh and I'm about to tear him to pieces, so, I'll be just a minute. RONALDO! I'M GONNA SKIN YOU ALIVE!"
"It was an accident! I swear it will not happen again!"
"OH, YOU BET IT WON'T! BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GONNA LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THE SUN!"
"But I already saw the sun this morning! The sunrise was gorgeous, it inspired me to make a new piece... Hmm... Miss uh... I'm sorry, I never got your name my lady."
Rarity blushed, he was such a fine gentleman, even when he was on the verge of death by Dexter. She glared at Dex, his blazing inferno died down as he walked back to Rainbow Dash. Rainbow cocked an eyebrow at him, but smiled, it was pretty funny.
"My name is Rarity."
"And who are your lovely friends Miss Rarity?"
Rarity pointed to the Mane 6 in turn and recited their names. She smiled sheepishly and played with the ends of her hair nervously. Ronaldo felt his spirit fall to see such a beautiful woman in distress.
"Miss Rarity, if I may, it seems you are a bit. Nervous? What, praytell, is the matter?"
"Oh, it is nothing of importance Ronaldo. I will not trouble you with it."
The other's in the room watched intently. To the Mane 6, it was just to see what would happen next. To Dexter? It was better than pay-per-view. Ronaldo shook his head with determination.
"Absolutely not Miss Rarity. What kind of gentleman would I be if I gave no heed to a lady's discomfort?"
Rarity blushed at his statement and glared at her friends when she heard snickering coming from the group.
"Well, I was just going to ask if, you may just... Have an extra room? I used to own a boutique before my friends and I happened to stumble upon this lovely little town. I would love it if I could work at another."
"Of course. I do have an extra room. It is a little drab but I'm sure that you could suit it to your taste. Now, that this matter is taken care of, we can have our tea."
Rarity smiled happily. This was a nice little arrangement, she would work at a wonderful boutique, and perhaps find her perfect Prince Charming.
