"Professor Rarity!" Sandbar calls after the white unicorn. She turns around and smiles.
"Sandbar, darling, what do you need?" she asks.
"I need help with a personal project, and it's really important!" he says. "I just need some model glue, and I heard you might have some."
"Why, of course, dear. I use the stuff all the time in my designs. Come on, follow me to my boutique!" she says. As they walk, she becomes curious. "So, tell me about this project."
"Oh, it's a birthday present for a friend, Chill Wind, in Vanhoover. He's been trying to get into this boating school. Like, it's his passion, you know? I can't help him get in, so I figured I'd do the next best thing and send the school to him!" Sandbar says with an excited smile.
"Ooh, you mean a miniature of the school itself?" Rarity asks. Sandbar nods. "I do love a good miniature. How do you know him?"
"Well, my family lived in Vanhoover for a while before we moved to Ponyville. He was my best friend in school there. And he was really cool. Like, he even wore sunglasses and went 'eyyy' all the time, you know?" Sandbar smiles at the memory.
At the boutique, Rarity lends him the model glue and wishes him luck. A couple days later, she sees an interesting short article in the school's weekly newsletter.
