Danny’s Weekend of Elegance

by Brian Sheil


Entering Canterlot and the Canterlot Carousel

Rarity and Danny walk down the streets of Canterlot. Both impressed with the atmosphere.
“Canterlot is fantastic.” Danny chirped. “Megan should visit this place someday.”
“I believe you’re right, Daniel.” Rarity said. “Perhaps I’ll bring her here when the time is right.”
Danny’s stomach started grumbling. Rarity giggled at this moment. “Sounds like somebody is hungry.”
“I guess I did forget to grab something to eat.” Danny realized.
“Not to worry, my friend.” Photo Finish said as she approached the duo. “I went to Joe’s Donut Shop, and grabbed some donuts for us.” She pulled out a donut covered with powered sugar. “Here’s one for you.”
Danny took one bite. When he saw some red stuff come out of the donut, he was happy. “Wow! A jelly donut! Thanks, Photo.”
“My pleasure, Danny.”
The three friends made their way to Rarity's store, the Canterlot Carousel.
"So, this is your store in Canterlot. Huh, Rarity?" Danny inquired.
"That's right, darling." Rarity answered. "This is where the new clothing line is at."
"I wonder what kind of clothing displays constellations of stars."
"There's only one way to find out." Photo finish replied as she opens the door to the store. "Let's go in."
They go in the store when they saw store manager, Sassy Saddles, talking to a light teal Pegasus with a red mane and tail and five bright stars as a cutie mark.
"That pony behind the counter is Sassy Saddles." Rarity explained to Danny. "She's the manager of this store."
"Who's that pony she's talking to?" Danny asked. "A customer?"
Photo Finish got excited about this visiting pony. "That pony is Nova Stargazer! I heard that she's the creator of this new clothing line."
"I heard of Nova Stargazer." Rarity realized. "I hear that when the stars come out, she looks at them and recognizes the patterns of the stars."
Danny smiled hearing that. "A pony after my own heart. Megan, Molly, and I like looking at the stars at night too."
Nova turned, looked at the three visitors, and greeted them with a british accent. "Rarity! The owner of the Canterlot Carousel. I've been wanting to meet you."
Nova made her way to give Rarity a hug. The fashionista pony was surprised that Nova recognized her. "You know about me?"
"I certainly do, dearie. And, I also know about your friend, Photo Finish. The avid photographer."
"It is an honor to meet you." Photo replied as she and Nova hugged each other.
Danny got a little nervous and backed away. Then, Sassy Saddles got his attention. "Excuse me, young man."
"Uh...yes?" Danny nervously replied.
"I heard my friend, Rarity, talking to you. Are you really one of those Williams kids who visited Equestria in the days of Ponyland?"
"Yes, Miss Saddles. My name is Danny. Pleased to meet you."
"Please, Danny. Call me Sassy. All my friends do."
Soon, Rarity, Photo, and Nova approached the counter.
"Danny," Photo suggested, "can you please move so that I can take a picture of Rarity, Sassy, and Nova together?"
"Sure, Photo." Danny repled. "Anything to oblige."
Danny moved out of the way so that Sassy stepped from behind the counter, and posed woth Rarity amd Nova Stargazer.
"Okay, my marefriends." Photo Finish announced. "Hold it."
Photo snapped her picture. Rarity turned to Nova. "Darling, is your new clothing line here?"
"Yes, it is." Nova answered. "In fact, I was just talking to Sassy about my new line. It's in the back, waiting to be unboxed."
"Sassy and I will head to the back and get the boxes."
Rarity and Sassy went to the back to fetch the new clothes. Nova approached the young human visitor.
"Daniel Williams." Nova said happily. "I was hoping to meet any of you Williams kids."
"You heard of us?" Danny gasped. "I didn't know even fashion designers know of our adventures."
"You'd be surprised to hear who learned of your adventures in the days of Ponyland."
Danny blushed hearing that phrase. Megan is right. Our adventures in the past ARE like an open book.
