*Rarity's Boutique*


Crosswind was working on a dress for hirself since shi wanted to go to the gala.

Crosswind asks “Rarity, could you help me with this?”

"Sure, what is it Crosswind dear?" Rarity asks.

Crosswind spoke "I want to make a dress for the gala."

"Is that all [chuckles] why dear if you wanted a dress to the gala you could've just asked." Rarity spoke.

Crosswind spoke "True but given my body shape, I wanted to make my own."

"Nonsense I'll be happy to make it for you darling." Rarity says.

Crosswind spoke "No, it's okay. I'm your co-worker after all."

"But I insist, plus you can't really take your own measurements." Rarity says.

Crosswind spoke "I could call in Blizzardstar though; shi's the same height as me."

“Just consider it a gift from me for all your help you have done here in the shop. You wouldn't reject a kind gift would you?” Rarity asks.

Crosswind spoke "Of course not, it wouldn't sit well with either of us though."

"Then it's settled, I'll make the dress for you." Rarity says.

Crosswind spoke "Okay then, fair enough."

Rarity smiles as she makes dresses for her and Crosswind.

Danyelle slaps Sonic on the back of the head.

Sonic spoke “Jeeze Danyelle! You’re going to give me a headache if you keep doing that!”

Danyelle spoke “Hey, I slap Knuckles on the back of the head all the time.”

Sonic asks “Why though?”

Danyelle spoke “Slap in the face would be humiliating, back of the head's a wake-up call."

Sonic spoke “Oh... I hadn’t realized...”

Danyelle spoke “Oh hi girls!”

Sonic spoke “Hey.”

"Shh quiet, Rarity’s in the zone." I say as I point to Rarity making dresses.

Crosswind was busy with work, using a special material for Sonic's tuxedo due to his other form.

"What do you think they're making?" Asked Applejack.

"Looks like a dress and tuxedo." Replied Twilight.

Crosswind asks "Oh hello girls, what brings you here?”

"Oh, we're so very sorry to trouble you two, but I need a quick favor." Twilight says before pulling out a red and yellow dress out of her bag as one of the buttons was falling off. "Could you please fix a button for me?" She asks. "It's my dress for the grand galloping gala."

"[Gasp] oh, no, no, no!" Replied Rarity. "You can't wear this -- ugh -- old thing." She says in disgust when she sees the dress. "You need a glamorous new outfit for the gala."

Crosswind's ears had flattened.

Crosswind spoke "I so agree with Rarity on this one."

"Precisely and we'll make it for you, no problem at all." She added.

Crosswind spoke "Maybe we can make dresses for all of you!"

"[Gasp] what a great idea." Rarity says in agreement.

Danyelle growls at Sonic.

Danyelle asks "Hey Twi, could you hold Sonic still while Rarity works on his measurements?"

"Sure thing Dany." Twilight says using her magic to hold Sonic still.

Sonic mutters "Why me? I hate staying in one spot for more than two minutes..."

"Why are you hard on Sonic, Dany?" I ask.

Sonic spoke "Long story short, she's an annoying sibling that never shuts up..."

Danyelle slaps Sonic on the back of the head once again.

"I may not have siblings but I had some friends who acted like they could be." I say.

"I see well anyways it's really sweet of you two to offer, but I can't let you two do that it would be so much work this dress as fine." Rarity says.

Danyelle chuckles "I can attest to that and oh, hi Ben."

"Hey guys what's going on in here?" He asks.

Danyelle spoke "Rarity and Cross are working on clothes for us."

"Oh sounds nice." Ben says.

"Yes it does now would you all kindly go so we can concentrate on making all of your outfits." Says Rarity.

Danyelle spoke "Sure thing Rares, we'll come back later."


(One musical later)


After Rarity and Crosswind finished making everyone’s dress and tuxedo, Rarity invited us all to her home to see them. 
"That's it, keep them closed."

Danyelle spoke "I hope my kimono is finished."

“Don’t look.” Rarity says.

Danyelle had her eyes closed, as did Sonic and Tempest. Bluestar was sleeping on Danyelle's head.

"Okay, you can look now!" Rarity exclaims.

Tempest spoke "Oh wow! This is just how I imagined my tuxedo would be!"

Danyelle was purring happily since she loved how her kimono looked.

"Glad you two like your outfits." Rarity says happily. What about you girls what do you think of your new outfits?" She asks. "What do you think of your old duds now, Applejack? Pretty swanky, are they not? [Chuckles] and, Twilight, I made this dress for you, and I designed each outfit theme to perfectly look like each pony's unique personality [gasp] oh! It took me forever to get the colors right on this one, Rainbow Dash, but I did it oh, and it turned out beautiful don't you think? [Gasp] and I know you're going to love yours, Fluttershy, it just sings spring! And, Pinkie Pie, look -- pink! Your favorite! Aren't they all amazing?!" She asks showing each pony their dress.

There was a dead silence as the group just stared at the dresses.

"I guess they were so shocked about how beautiful the dresses are that it left them speechless." I say jokingly breaking the silence.

Crosswind spoke "Making a dress for a gryphon cub was not easy though but I managed to make one. And yes, I made one for Silverstorm too."

"What's the matter?" Rarity asks noticing our friends haven't said anything. "Don't you like them?"

"They're very nice." Replied Twilight.

"And we're plumb grateful 'cause you worked so hard on them." Added Applejack as she and Twilight were giving off fake smiles.

"Mine's just not as cool as I was imagining." Rainbow says rudely and honestly.

"Rainbow are you serious!" I say angrily to her.

"What? She asked." Rainbow said.

Crosswind broke down into tears as shi crouched down on the floor.

Danyelle growls "How can you be so insensitive? Crosswind and Rarity worked hard to make these dresses for you girls."

"We're sorry we truly are, it's just that they're just not what we had in mind." Twilight says apologetically.

Danyelle spoke "I'm sorry for growling at you five."

"It's fine Dany." Replied Applejack.

Danyelle spoke "No worries."

Clarity trotted into the store but her armor was dented.

Clarity asks "Could someone fix my armor? Applebloom and Lance were messing around with it and they dented it."

"None of us are blacksmiths Clarity." I say, seeing the armor.

Crosswind spoke "My mom was and she taught me a few things."

"I guess Crosswind can fix it for you Clarity." I say.

Crosswind takes Clarity's armor back to hir workshop before repairing the damage that was caused by two of the Crusaders. 

Clarity spoke "Once word gets out about Cross's workshop, I bet several guards will be asking hir to help fix their armor."

"Yeah." I say while Rarity offers to redo everyone’s outfits.

Since she had experience with sewing, Danyelle helped Rarity out.


(Another musical later)


After Rarity and Danyelle had finished making our friends outfits to their specifications Rarity called everyone back to her home.

Danyelle spoke "I hope you girls like them..."

"Yes, we fixed them to exactly what each of you asked for now, don't hold back let us know what you really think." Added Rarity.

As everyone looked at their dresses, they were all happy at what they saw.

"It's exactly what I asked for!" They all said.

Danyelle spoke "Rarity, I do believe that Hoity Toity is supposed to be coming soon."

"The bigwig fashion hotshot in Canterlot?" Asked Twilight.

Danyelle spoke "Eyep, he's coming here to see Rarity's latest fashion line."

"Whoa, nelly!" Applejack says surprised. "You could smell a ton of dresses to this guy." She says turning to Rarity. "Your business will be booming!" She says as our friends agreed with her.

Danyelle was starry eyed as she spoke "Totally! Many of the noble mares would love to wear your dresses!"

Rarity was getting nervous when she heard that Hoity Toity was coming and that he will see the dresses she made for her friends the ones they wanted.

Danyelle spoke "Rarity, relax. It's going to be okay."

"Yeah everything going to be okay." Rarity says.

Later that night when the fashion show was set up, Hoity Toity arrived.

Danyelle spoke "Hello sir, my name is Danyelle."

Bluestar chirps as well since she was often on Danyelle's head.

He did not say anything as he just watched.

Bluestar was hissing since she didn't like how the dresses looked.

The crowd gasps in shock when they see our friends walking out on stage with the dresses.

Sonic facepalms in disappointment while minding his claws.

"God those are terrible even the audience don't like them." I tell Dany and the others pointing to the audience’s reactions to the dresses.

Danyelle spoke "Yeah... But I really don't want to hurt Rarity's feelings though."

"Oh, those amateurish designs look like a piled-on mishmash of everything but the kitchen sink." Hoity Toity stated bluntly, as everyone starts laughing while Rarity hides a sink under the stage.

Danyelle's ears pin back in annoyance at what Hoity said.

"It's a travesty is what it is." He added. "Those outfits are the ugliest things I've ever seen! Oh, for shame who is responsible for subjecting our eyes to these horrors!?" He demanded. "Not to mention wasting my valuable time?"

"Oh! Hide me." Rarity says hiding behind her cat Opal.

"Come on out and take a bow, Rarity and Danyelle." Spike says walking onto the stage, calling out their names.

Danyelle pushes Rarity out onto the stage.

Danyelle spoke "We're terribly sorry sir..."

"You should be just look at these monstrosity of dresses you should be ashamed of yourself." He says before leaving.

Clarity growled a bit since she was a tad bit annoyed with what Hoity said.

The next day, Rarity was locked up in her own room crying.

Crosswind spoke "For Amaterasu's sake Rarity, it wasn't that bad!"

“It is bad, I’m never coming out!” Shouted Rarity from the other side of her door. “I can’t show my face in Ponyville ever again! I used to be somepony, I used be respected, I made dresses – beautiful, beautiful dresses, but now everypony is laughing at me. I’m nothing but a laughing stock!” She says before crying again.

Crosswind spoke “Sonic and the other Mobians didn’t laugh at you, I heard what happened from Clarity. You’re better than this.”

“She kind of is.” Rainbow stated bluntly.

Crosswind spoke “Not helping Rainbow… The Rarity I know never backs down, even if she makes mistakes. Everycreature makes mistakes once or more in their life. Danyelle made many mistakes in her life. One time, she had her tongue stuck to a frozen metal pole and ended up losing a bit of skin from it.”

“How is that related to Rarity?” I ask.

Crosswind spoke “We learn from our mistakes so that they don’t happen again.”

“Just leave me alone!” Rarity says crying still.

Crosswind spoke “You girls should give her some space for a while.”

Danyelle spoke “Crosswind is right, we should leave Rarity be until she calms down.”

Danyelle ushers the ponies along with Sonic and I out.

"We can't just leave Rarity like that." Applejack says.

"Yeah, or she'll became a crazy cat lady!" Added Pinkie.

Danyelle spoke "She only has one cat, it's not like she'll be getting another any time soon."

"Give her time." I say.

Crosswind thinks “I think I know how to fix this mess.”

The brown ponykat gallops off to find Hoity before talking him into another fashion show.

Crosswind spoke “Just give Rarity another chance, she can set things right.”

Danyelle talks the rest of the Mane Six into trying on the original dresses that Rarity had made.

Danyelle spoke “Listen girls, I know the first run was a disaster but we can try again.”

"True but how are we going to get Rarity out of her room for us to redo it?" I added.

Danyelle spoke "I know how we can go about it."

"Alright then, how?" I ask.

Danyelle spoke "We make her a nice dress to show her how much she means to us."

Sonic spoke "Good luck girls."

Later that day we started finishing the dress Rarity was going to make for herself for the gala and once it was finished, we had put Rarity’s cat up in a tree by her window so she can see.

Crosswind returns with Hoity since shi had talked him into another fashion showcase.

"Alright, I haven't gotten all day." He says before we all head inside.

Crosswind spoke "This time, it will be a lot better."

"I hope so this time you better not be wasting my time so take two." He says before Spike closes the curtains.

Crosswind sits down beside Hoity.

Crosswind spoke "It'll be better than before."

Crosswind spoke "Now this is a fashion show!" 

Danyelle was standing between Rainbow and Twilight with her kimono on.

"Miss Rarity, these dress designs are magnificent absolutely wonderful!" Hoity said.

"Thank you, thank you so much." Rarity says happily and after Hoity Toity left, Twilight wrote her friendship report to Celestia on what she learned.
