The two friends arrived to Canterlot at the middle of the day. In the train station, some Royal Guards were waiting for RD and Rarity in order to welcome them. They all headed to the Castle, were Princess Celestia was waiting for them.
"Rarity, Rainbow Dash, I'm so glad you girls are here," the Princess said.
"Oh, thank you Princess," Rarity said "Thank you for letting us stay in here for a few day," The two ponies were supposed to stay on Canterlot for at least 4 days. Princess Celestia knew about that. It wasn't a problem for her, instead, she was really pleased to have Twilight's friends in her palace.
"It is not a problem," the princess said "now girls, go ahead to your room," she said "Oh did Twilight said that you are going to share a room?" the princess asked.
"Yes," both ponies answered.
"Perfect, I'm sorry girls you have to share a room, but this week my sister and I have some meetings with some mayors of Equestria; and they all are staying in here as well as you," the alicorn said.
"Nah, it's fine Princess," RD said.
"Okay my ponies I have to go, see you around here," Princess Celestia smiled, and after that she leave.
Rainbow Dash and Rarity walked to their room. The room was really big, it had a little lounge in the center, at the left of the room there was a big closet with a mirror. Next to it, the bathroom was located. Then back on, there was a stained glass door which lead to a small balcony. and at the right side of the room, there were two beds, a T.V. and a little desk.
The two mares started unpacking all their stuff. Rarity, took more time than RD unpacking because of all her 'necessary stuff' she needed before sleeping.
"OHMYGOSH!" RD shouted "I can't believe we are here!"
"Me neither" the unicorn answered.
"I can't wait for tomorrow night!" Rainbow Dash added.
"Darling, I know it will be simply amazing," Rarity said meanwhile she was still unpacking her last belongings. "Darling what are you doing?" the unicorn said when she noticed her friend was just about to bed down.
"You know I'm tired," RD said without concern.
"Rainbow Dash we are going to have lunch with Fancy Pants today," Rarity said excited.
"What?! Are you kidding me?" the pegasus said
"Of course not, I'm seriously talking. He invited us to have lunch with him," the unicorn responded. She was really anxious to see Fancy Pants that day, but her friend didn't seem to like the idea that much as her.
"Hmm okay, I might not be that bad, of course if he pays the bill!" the cyan pony added.
"Rainbow!" the unicorn answered impatient.
"Hahahahhahahahahah I'm sorry I didn't meant that," the pegasus continued laughing "Okay, okay let's go and find that Fancy Pants, I'm getting hungry"
Rarity looked at her thinking and then she added "Wait a second, we have to doll ourselves before going out!" the white pony said.
"Excuse me?!" Rainbow Dash yelled
Rarity laugh a little "yes, you know darling we have to get ready for lunch," and saying that she went to the bathroom and started dolling herself.
"No way I'm doing that for lunch," the pegasus said.
"Oh yes you are," Rarity answered.
After a little discussion, the two ponies were ready for lunch. Rarity looked really fancy, she was wearing a short pink dress with little pearls in it, in her head she wore a pretty pink hat with some details of lace. Rainbow Dash was forced to wear a white dress Rarity packed specially for her, because she knew RD will not pack another dress than the party dress for the show.
"I can't believe you made me use this thing" RD said a little annoyed when looking herself at the mirror. She just can't believe she had to wear a dress just t for having lunch.
"Darling we are in Canterlot," Rarity said "we have to look elegant in order to caught the attention of most of the ponies in here"
"Yeah, yeah whatever" the rainbow mane pony said without paying attention to her friend.
"Okay, dear, we have to go and meet Fancy Pants at the reception" Rarity said while she was just about to leave the room. RD followed her downstair directly to the reception, where according to the white unicorn, they will meet Fancy Pants.
In the Castle's reception, the two ponies were standing in there waiting for the male unicorn. Some minutes later, two Royal Guards came in announcing the presence of two male unicorns "Lady Rarity, Lady Dash, these two gentlemen were asking for you" the Royal Guards said.
"Oh, thank you dear." Rarity responded to the guards, who later on leave the reception.
"Lady Dash?!" Rainbow Dash whispered
"Just smile darling," Rarity whispered too, just allowing RD to hear her. Rainbow Dash made a grimace.
"Miss Rarity," a male voice was heard from the hall.
"Fancy Pants!" the unicorn screamed.
"Rarity is a pleasure to have you in here" The male unicorn said as he gently kissed Rarity's right hoof.
"Oh no, the pleasure is mine to see you again," Rarity said with an enchanted voice "Fancy Pants, do you remember my friend Rainbow Dash?" the unicorn continued as she looked at her friend.
"Yes of course" Fancy Pants looked at the rainbow mane pony and kissed her hoof just as he did with Rarity "Miss Rainbow Dash it's a pleasure to have you in here too" the pegasus was shocked for the act, she blushed a little bit. "Ladies," Fancy Pants continued "Let me introduce you Fancy Brand, my cousin.
Both mares looked at him. He was so alike to Fancy Pants. He had white coat, a brown mane, which was was a little bit curly, just as his cousin. His eyes were blue just as Fancy Pants too. He was wearing a suit with a blue bow.
"Its a pleasure to meet you Fancy Brand" the white mare said.
"The pleasure is mine, Miss Rarity" the stallion answered. And then he looked at the other mare and said "Miss Rainbow Dash, it is a wonderful contentment to meet you," saying this, he kissed Rainbow Dash's hoof making her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Thanks, nice to meet you" the pegasus said. At that moment she knew what was going on. "Oh thanks Fancy Pants! for introducing him to me" Dash said strained. She looked at Rarity and whisper "Oh thanks Fancy Pants you got me a date! Don't ya!?"
Rarity giggled, and whispered to her friend "Heheh just smile dear, I'm pretty sure he didn't do it on purpose"
"Ladies," Fancy Pants said "we were planning to go and have dinner, do you want to come with us?" The two ponies accepted the invitation of the male unicorn. The all went out of the castle and headed to the restaurant Fancy Pants reserved some days ago.
At the restaurant, they were all hungry; specially Rainbow Dash who didn't have breakfast this morning. Meanwhile their food was ready, Rarity and Fancy Pants started talking.
"Tell me Rarity, how was the trip?" the blue mane colt said.
"It was quite exhausting, but it was fine" she answered.
"Wonderful. it's nice to hear that" the stallion said.
"Tell me Fancy Pants, how is everything going on here?" the white pony continued.
"Well my dear, I have been working really hard these last weeks in the family business"
"Oh my dear Celestia, that must be really exhausting" Rarity said.
"Yes, it is" the male unicorn answered.
Rarity, then looked at the unicorn's cousin and asked "Tell me Fancy Brand"
"Yes Miss Rarity?" the brown mane colt said.
"Where do you work in?"
"I run my own business just like my cousin, I sell furniture, the best you will see in your life"
"That is simply amazing my dear" Rarity said, and after that she nudged Rainbow Dash who wasn't paying attention of what they were talking.
"Oh yes, that's awesome" the cyan pony said.
Fancy Brand looked curiously at the mare, he started looking at her colourful mane, her cyan coat, and her expressions, but what really took his attention was her eyes, those magenta eyes were amazed him. "Miss Rainbow Dash,would it bother you to tell me something about yourself?" the colt said.
"Please, for Celestia's sake, don't call me Miss Rainbow Dash, just call me Rainbow, or Dash or Rainbow Dash; but Miss Rainbow Dash never!" The mare said exhausted.
"Oh, I'm sorry Miss..." Fancy Brand stopped "Excuse me, Rainbow Dash" he continued. "would it bother you to tell me something about yourself?" the unicorn said once again.
"Well, I like flying, I work in Ponyville cleaning the skies" She answered.
"That is wonderful, just like you" The brown mane unicorn said.
"Yeah, thanks" Rainbow answered. After that, the food was ready, so the four ponies started eating.
