Rarity walks down the street, feeling bad after what Miss Harshwhinny did to her and her friends. Soon, she saw Octavia Melody wave to her from the ice skating rink.
"Hello, Rarity." Octavia greeted.
"Octavia." Rarity replied happily. "This is a pleasant surprise. Where's Vinyl?"
"She's preparing herself for a party later tonight. You know how she is when she becomes DJ Pon-3."
The girls entered the rink to have some fun. As they put on their skates, Rarity thought about what happened last summer.
"I remember coming here last year with Twilight." Rarity said. "Hauna Husky made a great teacher."
"Hauna Husky?" Octavia gasped. "Doesn't she run a hot chocolate stand in Frozenwood?"
"Yes, she does. She and little friend, Whipped, make a great team."
Suddenly, Octavia sees something in the rink. "Speaking of Enchantimals and their besties, look!"
The girls see a young man with white skin and black hair. He wears a black jacket over a white shirt with a bow tie. He also has yellow pants and orange ice skates on. Skating with him is a cuddly looking penguin.
"Oh, my goodness." Rarity gasped. "Patterson Penguin."
"A very handsome looking person too." Octavia added. "Who's the little penguin with him?"
"That's his bestie: Tux."
Just as the girls entered the rink, Patterson and Tux skated over to meet them.
"Rarity and Octavia Melody." Patterson greeted. "A pleasure to meet you."
This got Rarity a little shocked. "You know about us?"
"Yes, I do." He then noticed Rarity tearing up. "Something wrong?"
The three friends and bestie sat at a table as Patterson hears the story.
"I had a rough year in school." Rarity explained. "A person named Miss Harshwhinny made a few stinks about my fashion sense."
"Even I heard of Harshwhinny." Patterson said. "That woman can make anybody look bad."
"That's for sure." Tux waddled over to Rarity and climbed on her lap. "Hello, Tux." She picked him up and cuddled him. "You are so adorable."
Octavia continued the explanation. "This is why we showed up here. Maybe, some ice skating can calm her down."
"Not a bad idea." Patterson praised. "Off to the rink."
Rarity, Octavia, and Patterson skated on the rink. Patterson did some fancy tricks that got everybody's attention. Tux squawked happily. Rarity skated elegantly with Octavia right behind her. Patterson caught up and picked up Rarity. Many patrons applauded.
I hope Preena doesn't get jealous. Octavia thought.
They went back to their table to enjoy some hot chocolate and each other's company.
"How are things with Preena?" Rarity asked.
"Not bad, actually." Patterson replied. "She told me that last year, your friend, Sunset Shimmer, helped her and Jayla with an ice cream delivery."
"Sunset does know her way around town. She made a pretty good guide."
"That's true. I'd like to meet Sunset someday."
Rarity, Octavia, Patterson, and Tux continue to enjoy the day.
