Danny’s Weekend of Elegance

by Brian Sheil


Hello, Equestria.

Outside the Williams’ family home, Danny Williams is waiting outside wearing his backpack. His sister, Megan, stands by his side.
“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Danny asked.
“Relax, Danny.” Megan replied. “You wanted to go away for the weekend. Don’t you?”
“Of course, Megan. But, is Equestria a good place to go?”
“Don’t panic. I was a little nervous my first time going to Equestria too. But, thanks to Twilight Sparkle, I adjusted pretty good.”
Suddenly, Twilight Sparkle appeared and surprised the kids. “Hi, guys.”
“Wow!” Danny said with astonishment. “So, you’re Twilight Sparkle. Nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you too, Danny.”
I wish Twilight would stop doing that. Megan thought. She then turned to the lavender alicorn. “When did you show up here, Twi?”
“I flew by here five minutes ago.” Twilight answered. “I decided to teleport here to surprise you.”
“You surprised us all right.”
Twilight turned to Danny. “Are you ready to go, friend?”
Danny climbed on Twilight’s back. “Ready as I’ll ever be.”
“Then, hang on.”
Twilight Sparkle lifted up and took off with Danny holding on. Megan watched them take off. “Happy travels, brother.”
Minutes later, Twilight and Danny flew across the Rainbow Bridge, and arrived at Equestria. Danny was surprised.
"I never thought the path to the pony world would open up again." Danny said. "I hope your home in Ponyville is as quiet as Megan said it is."
"Trust me, Danny." Twilight replied. "It is."
Twilight landed. And, Danny got off. He looked around, and is impressed. "This village of Ponyville is a charming sight. I feel very relaxed coming here."
"Thanks, Danny." Twilight replied. "Let me show you around."
Twilight showed Danny all over the village, and pointed out various places. Danny got a quick glimpse of Sweet Apple Acres.
"I can see why Megan likes this area." Danny happily stated. "This makes her feel at home."
"The Apple family are very happy that she came to visit." Twilight replied.
Soon, the young boy was amazed at the School of Friendship. "Wow! Hard to believe that you and your friends are teachers in this school, Twilight. I guess it's doing good, seeing all of these different creatures getting along."
"I'm glad you appreciate it." Twilight praised.
Rarity then rushed over to deliver some news. "Twilight! I was contacted by Sassy Saddles at the Canterlot Carousel. A new clothing line is on the way."
"Wow!" Twilight yelped, "It must be very special for Sassy Saddles to be excited."
Danny walked up to the white unicorn, and automatically recognized her. "You must be Rarity. The elegance of the Mane Six." The young boy bowed. "A pleasure to meet you."
Rarity looks at the young human boy. soon, she smiley kindly. "You must be Daniel Williams. Megan's brother. She told me all about you."
"I'm sure she did." Danny gave her a small hug. "So, what's this news you have?"
"Follow us to Twilight's castle. I'll explain it to you there."
Inside the map room, Rarity gave everyone the news. "My store in Canterlot, the Canterlot Carousel, is bringing out a new constellation line."
"Constellations?" Applejack blurted. "Like those lines of stars at night?"
"That's right, Applejack."
"Wowee!" Pinkie Pie chirped as she jumped excitedly. "That sounds like a star studded collection!"
"Take it easy, Pinkie Pie." Danny said to the party pony. "Don't want to see anypony tackled like what happened to my sister."
Pinkie Pie calmed down, knowing that Danny was right. "Sorry, Danny. I just get excited easily."
"I can tell."
"When will this new line of clothes be coming out?" Fluttershy wondered.
"Tomorrow morning." Rarity answered. "I'll head over to Canterlot to see these clothes. Anypony want to accompany me?"
Twilight and friends look at each other with puzzled faces.
"Y'all know I'm not much on the fashion world." Applejack said.
"That's true, darling." Rarity replied. "Besides, I heard you and your family are helping your cousin, Braeburn, in Appleloosa tomorrow."
"Yup. But, I'll be back later that night for the after party."
"Party?" Danny yelped. "What kind?"
"There's going to be a party at Canterlot Park to celebrate this new constellation line." Rarity informed. "And, Pinkie has been asked to set this party up."
"That's where I'm at my best!" Pinkie said happily.
Rainbow Dash walked up to the young boy. "How about YOU go with Rarity, Danny?"
"Me?" Danny yelped, caught off guard. "I don't know, Rainbow Dash. Do you think that I can be a great help?"
"Think about it, pal. I heard that you find Rarity very pretty when you first saw her. I'm sure she would like you to be with her."
"Dashie is right, Danny." Applejack added. "Megan told us that you behave well when among elegant types."
Danny thought about it for a while. Then, he approached Rarity. "Rarity, I would be honored to accompany you to your boutique in Canterlot."
"Thank you, Daniel." Rairty squealed as she gave Danny a hug. "Your sister would be proud of you for this."
"I guess so." Danny replied as he felt very proud.
Later that day, Rarity escorted Danny to her home.
"Wow!" Danny gasped. "This is your home that's also your flagship store here in Ponyville?"
"Correct, my friend." Rarity answerd. "This is the place that started it all for me."
As the two figures walk in the house, Rarity's sister, Sweetie Belle, rushes over to welcome Rarity home.
"Welcome home, sis." Sweetie Belle greeted. "Excited about tomorrow?"
"Indeed I am, Sweetie Belle." Rarity replied. "And, this fine young man is joining me tomorrow."
Sweetie Belle saw Danny, and is surprised. "Are you one of those human kids who used to visit Equestria in the days of Ponyland?"
"That's me." Danny replied. "My name is Danny. It's a pleasure to meet you, Sweetie Belle."
"You know who I am?"
"I do. Your sister, Rarity, told me all about you. Sounds like you want to rise up to fame just like your sister."
Rarity nudged Danny on his belly. "Danny, take it easy. You're making me blush."
"I'm just stating a fact. Besides, I'm sure you want to help Sweetie Belle achieve any dream she has. No matter how small."
Rarity had to admit, Danny was right. "That's ture, my friend."
