Fluttershy and Tree Hugger walked down the street. The nature girl was a little nervous.
"I can't believe that I was invited to a Bridalway show in Manehattan." Fluttershy said. 
"I can." Tree Hugger replied. "It was definitely nice of Rarity to ask you to join her for a night of culture."
"She sent me a good outfit for that event. It's a long sleeve forest green gown that goes just below the knees. And, a pair of brown platform shoes."
"The brown probably for the tree trunks. So, what's next to looking your best?"
"Rarity suggested that I get my hair done at the hair salon."
Soon, the two friends arrived at the hair salon. As Fluttershy wants for her turn, Tree Hugger sees a worker she never saw. It was a golden skinned girl with a brown hairdo with purple streaks. She wore a flowery dress. Her hair looks like the mane of a lion. She even has a lion's ears and tail.
"Is there a Lion King event going on?" Tree Hugger wondered.
Fluttershy looked at the girl, and soon recognized her. "Tree Hugger, that hair stylist is Lacey Lion."
"Lacey Lion? Like, from the Sunny Savanna?"
"That's her."
Lacey then went over to the two friends.
"Hello, Fluttershy." Lacey greeted. "I heard so much of you. Some of the other Enchantimals say that you understand animals."
"I never knew my reputation is getting known at Everwilde." Fluttershy replied while blushing.
Lacey then turned to Tree Hugger. "Are you here for a hair appointment too?"
"Nope." Tree Hugger replied. "Just here to support Flutters here."
A minute later, Lacey started washing Fluttershy's hair.
"I understand that you were invited to a show at Manehattan." Lacey said.
"Yes." Fluttershy replied. "My friend, Rarity, invited me to join her."
"The elegance of the Rainbooms. I heard how Leora Lion helped her with a hair emergency last summer."
After the washing, Leora got put her hair dryer and brush. 
"Time to start styling." Lacey announced. She soon saw Fluttershy getting nervous. "And, to help calm you down,"
She gives a whistle, and a small lion comes along. It hops of Fluttershy's lap.
"Aw. Hello, Manesy." Fluttershy cooed. "Aren't you a cutie?"
Seeing Fluttershy relaxing, Lacey turned on her hair dryer, and got to work. Later, Rarity and Fluttershy headed to a theater in Manehattan. Fluttershy wore the gown she was given, and her hair was curly. Not as poofy as Pinkie Pie's usual hairdo.
"Your hair looks beautiful, Fluttershy." Rarity praised. "Lacey Lion did a good job."
"I know." Fluttershy replied. "Sandalwood said that I could rival fashion models with this hairdo."
"I assume that Lacey's bestie, Manesy, was sitting on your lap."
"You're right. Just like Leora Lion's bestie, Snazzy, sat on yours while she worked on your hair."
Rarity blushed, knowing Fluttershy has a point. "Touché."
