Danny’s Weekend of Elegance

by Brian Sheil


Quality Time with Rarity

Later that night, Rarity and Sweetie Belle relaxed in the kitchen having some chamomile tea and some raspberry tarts. Danny, wearing a long sleeve white shirt and blue camoflage sleep pants and slipppers, join them.
"I hope you're feeling relaxed, my friend." Rarity said to Danny.
"I certainly am, Rarity." Danny replied. "This chamomile tea is a good way to wind down before bedtime."
Rarity is happy to hear that. Sweetie Belle noticed Danny's sleepwear. "I like your sleep pants, Danny."
"Thanks, Sweetie Belle." Danny said happily. "Got to adjust with the times, you know."
After the tea and tarts were over with and the dishes washed, Sweetie Belle went to bed. Rarity and Danny went to the living room. She noticed that a blanket and two pillows are on the couch.
"Daniel," Rarity wondered, "why do you insist on sleeping on the couch?"
"Twilight told me that you sometimes get unexpected visitors before bedtime." Danny answered. "So, the visitors will probably take the guest room. Besides, I don't mind sleeping on the couch."
"I understand. This way, you don't crowd anypony out."
"That's right, Rarity."
There was a sudden knock at Rarity's door. She answered it, and in comes a light blue pony with a white mane and tail, wearing magenta glasses and a black and white striped outfit.
"Photo Finish!" Rarity yelped. "What brings you here?"
"I have come to ask if I can spend the night here." Photo Finish answered. "I am heading to Canterlot tomorrow to see this constellation clothing line at the Canterlot Carousel."
"That's what I have in mind too. Would you like me to show you to the guest room?"
"That would be fine, Rarity. Lead the way."
As Rarity and Photo Finish enter the living room to head upstairs to the guest room, Photo spotted Danny getting comfy on the couch, and rushed over to see him.
"Hello there, friend!" Photo shouted, causing Danny to be shocked. "Sorry if I stirred you."
Danny started to panic. "Who...who..who are you?"
Rarity came over to calm him down. "Danny, this is my friend, Photo Finish."
"Photo Finish?" Danny gasped. "A photographer pony?"
"That is correct." Photo answerd as she looks at the boy. "Danny, huh? You are one of the human children who visited Equestria in the days of Ponyland. Right?"
"Yeah, that's me." Danny replied nervously.
Photo put her hoof on his shoulder. "Don't be so nervous, my boy. I'm not dangerous. Just very energetic." She backs up a little. "What brings you here anyway?"
Danny gives Photo an answer. "I came here to Ponyville to spend a weekend away from home. Rarity told me about this clothing line coming to Canterlot. And, I volunteered to join her at her store there."
"Sounds like a good idea to me."
Soon, Rarity and Photo went upstairs to the guest room as the pony fashionista wishes good night to her guest. "Good night, Danny."
"Good night, Rarity." Danny replied.
Danny took off his cap, turned off the light on the table near the couch, and draped the blanket on him. Soon, he fell asleep. The next morning, Danny was still sleeping when Sweetie Belle rushed downstairs and jumped on Danny. The bouncing startled the sleepy young lad, as he looked at Rarity's sister. "Was that bouncing on me necessary, Sweetie Belle?"
"Sorry, Danny." Sweetie Belle responded. "But, I figured it's time to wake up and get ready to head for Canterlot Carousel. Rarity and Photo will be up pretty soon."
Sweetie Belle went back upstairs. Danny stretched, grabbed his cap, and placed it back on his head.
That Sweetie Belle. Danny thought. She's probably better than an alarm clock.
