End of Summer, Carousal Boutique ] “Trixie cannot believe that Trixie has missed all of that.” Trixie huffed taking a sip of tea after hearing the story of the recent events in Ponyville. “It has been a rather busy few months to be sure.” Rarity offered with a small shrug. “To be fair I did fully expect you to some how be in Manehatten when we got there.” “Trixie tries not to work in that town. There's something of a 'entertainment mafia' that demands a cut of profits.” Trixie huffed. ”Brigands the lot of them.” “Yes well darling I doubt you need to worry about that too much any more.” Rarity smiled. “ Though I do need to ask. I was under the impression you tended to only speak in the third pony when on stage or nervous. I expected after everything the two of us got along well enough despite how things started, and you horrid contribution to the fashion world.” “Trixie again states that there is nothing wrong with her capes pattern and you are being too snooty about your design tastes, but it is not you that is bothering Trixie.” The show mare gestured to the other two ponies sitting at the table. Princess Luna and Princess Cadence both sat at the table calmly sipping tea as well. Well Cadence was sipping tea, Luna had a coffee. “Ah yes. I forgot you are not as used to them showing up at random as we are.” Rarity nodded. “ Though I thought you were Luna's student.” “Trixie was, but nothing came of it unfortunately. “ Trixie sighed. “To be fair, we did put an excessive amount of faith in something we found out to be false later and we still hope that Trixie learned something from our time.” Luna offered. “Trixie did learn the exact amount of caffeine needed to give an alicorn a heart attack.” “That was one time.” Luna frowned. Rarity and Cadence both looked to Luna curiously before they looked back at Trixie. “Trixie watched her use an espresso machine filled with energy drinks instead of water.” Trixie explained. “ She then put it all in a big gulp mug and put in enough sugar to give a full grown dragon diabetes.” The pair looked back at Luna. “We apologize for nothing. We are trying to train to survive the coffee from the Pink one.” Luna huffed as Cadence shuddered. “Moving on.” Rarity stated quickly. ”What brings you all here today?” “Mostly to see how Twilight, Rahs, and Spike are doing.” Cadence offered.” Though Lady Jynx sent me a letter asking me to stop by. Likely it's to discuss the diamond dogs she has working up in the Empire.” “ The Ponypalooza Rock Concert.” Luna stated. The others looked at her curiously. “What? We have been back several years now and have been rather active in the club scene of Canterlot. Not to mention one of the acts used to be in our employ.” Luna offered. “We wish to see how Pontera is doing.” “Trixie was hired by the pink one to set up the fire works. Plus Trixie showed up to see how Fuzzy was doing, only for him to be GONE!!” Trixie ranted. “Because a TREE told him to!!” “Yes, well. I suppose we should expect that a lot.” Rarity offered. “It also sent Sunset and Pinkie Pie for some reason to Bayston.” [ Bayston] Rahs smiled as he looked out of the train window at the city. After that last event in Manehatten happened he felt the interest in live theater revive in the area. Sure Coco had gone on about how it was restoring the community, but he was a bit too distracted by Applejack, who seemed to think Coco was flirting with him. Which was ridiculous, the mare was just nice. That would have been like Fluttershy flirting with him. Oh... wait, she did.... Pinkie Pie and Sunset were with him as well, though the latter was trying to flirt in an not at all subtle way, though he wasn't sure if what she was doing was flirting, or just laying innuendo so thick he couldn't help notice. Thankfully Twilight had told Pinkie to keep an eye on Sunset. Given the pink mare was pulled away from a big concert she had planned after going out of her way to recruit a big star for the show, she was more than happy to take her annoyance out on some one who deserved it. Either with a squirt bottle or a rolled up newspaper. Rahs was just happy to get away from the screaming he knew would happen in a rock concert. Maybe he could find a nice jazz place around here, or an opera show once the mission was over. At any rate, despite the last mission being relatively calm and non violent, Rahs wasn't about to be lax in this situation. What ever was coming he would be ready for it.
