The Fourth of July is here. But, it was raining. Inside their home, Rarity and Sweetie Belle watched with disappointment in their eyes.
“There goes our Fourth of July celebrations.” Sweetie Belle realized.
“I guess so.” Rarity agreed. “But, it’s still morning. Hopefully, the weather will clear up before tonight. That’s when the fireworks happen.”
“I guess you’re right.”
Later that day, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo came over to help Sweetie Belle cheer up.
“Don’t feel bad, Sweetie.” Apple Bloom said. “The rain is starting to lighten up.”
“Yeah!” Scootaloo added. “Soon, the sky will be clear. And tonight, FIREWORKS!”
“I guess you’re right.” Sweetie said, feeling relieved. “I shouldn’t feel so bad.”
Stepping outside for some fresh air, Rarity looked at the sky as the clouds broke up.
“Ah.” Rarity sighed. “The clouds are breaking up. The Fourth of July fun is saved.”
Rarity then saw a wild looking sight. It was a light pink skinned girl with bright red and yellow hair. She also has a marigold colored nose.
“Peeki Parrot!” Rarity called out. “This is a pleasant surprise.”
“Rarity.” Peeki said. “The fashionista of Canterlot City.”
“I wouldn’t go that far, darling. But, thanks.”
Peeki walks over to say hello to Rarity as a parrot flew over to land on Peeki’s shoulder.
“Hello to you too, Sheeny.” Rarity said to the parrot.
Sheeny blushed, knowing Rarity greeted her.
“What brings you here, Peeki?” Rarity wondered.
“The Fourth of July celebration, of course.” Peeki answered. “And, with the sky clearing, the celebration is on.”
“Indeed. I even have a special outfit made for this. Come in, darlings.”
Accepting the invitation, Peeki and Sheeny went inside. Rarity’s outfit consists of a blue top with white stars stitched on it. There was even star shaped shoulder pads. There’s also a long red skirt with white stripes going across.
“Beautiful dress, Rarity.” Peeki praised. “This truly captures the American spirit.”
“Thank you, Peeki.” Rarity said happily. She then notices Peeki’s colorful outfit. “Pinkie Pie would be in love with your outfit.”
“Your party planning buddy? Yes, I would guess so.”
The girls shared a laugh as Sweetie and her friends came in.
“Hey, Rarity.” Sweetie Belle called out. “I heard that the skies will be clear for the fireworks tonight.”
“Excellent!” Rarity cheered.
Later that night, at Canterlot State Park, many people came over with blankets to sit on. Soon, fireworks went off, and everyone cheered. Pinkie Pie was among them, and she looked at Peeki’s outfit.
“Wow!” Pinkie chirped. “I wish I had an outfit like what Peeki Parrot is wearing.”
“I’m sure you would.” Pinkie’s sister, Limestone, said. “Peeki is bright and cheerful. Kind of like you.”
Pinkie blushed a little as she continues to watch the fireworks. It turned out to be a good night after all.
