26. Garden care with the girls of Petal Park

Rarity sits down on her couch, reading a review of one of her outfits. Turns out that a beautiful gown with the colors of a sunset got mixed reviews.
“Some people have no taste!” Rarity protested. “I worked hard on that dress. Short sleeve with a yellow top, and an orange and red skirt. This just isn’t my day.”
“Rarity!” Sweetie Belle called as she comes into the room. “The garden is all good.”
“Really?” Rarity said with confusion. “Isn’t that garden a lot of work for one person?”
“I wasn’t alone. I had a bit of help.”
Rarity and Sweetie went outside to the garden. The flowers grew nicely, and Sweetie’s vegetable garden started to show results.
“This is beautiful!” Rarity praised. “But, who helped you. Apple Bloom didn’t come over due to being busy at Sweet Apple Acres.”
Sweetie Belle have a loud whistle. Soon, six girls that are even smaller than Sweetie presented themselves. They have features that resemble small insects.
“Oh my.” Rarity gasped. “I heard of these girls.”
“You have?” Sweetie asked.
“Yes. These are the girls on an area of Everwilde called Petal Park.” Rarity points out to them one at a time. “Baxi Butterfly, Beetrice Bee, Ladelia Ladybug, Cay Caterpillar, Saxon Snail, and Dara Dragonfly.”
“Somebody did some research.” Dara said happily.
“And, we thought Twilight Sparkle is the resourceful one.” Cay figured.
“I can learn a thing or two from Twilight.” Rarity added. “What are you six doing here?”
“We were passing by when we saw your sister working on this garden.” Saxon said. “So, we offered our services.”
“Makes sense. You girls do live in a flowery area in Everwilde.”
“That’s right, my friend.” Ladelia replied.
Soon, Rarity got concerned. “Where are your little besties? Wingrid, Pollen, Vine, Scriggly, Dawdle, and Swift.”
“Don’t worry, Rarity.” Beetrice assured. “Sweetie Belle brought out her old doll house, and our besties are resting there.”
Sweetie brought Rarity to her old doll house on a table near the garden.
“Look inside.” Sweetie suggested.
Rarity took a quick peek. She saw Dawdle just relaxing as Vine and Scriggly crawled around. Pollen, Wingrid, and Swift flew in and out of the house.
“Aren’t they cute?” Sweetie squealed as Scriggly the caterpillar crawled on her finger. “Hi, Scriggly.”
Winfred the butterfly flew on to Rarity’s finger. She was amazed by this critter. “Hello, Wingrid. You look beautiful.”
Wingrid blushed and flew back to his friends. The Petal Park girls came up to them.
“What do you think of our besties, Rarity?” Baxi asked.
“They’re adorable.” Rarity answered. “Just like the six of you.”
This was a great day for Rarity, Sweetie, and the girls of Petal Park.
