Fashionable Words
It was a beautiful morning in Ponyville.
For a talented and up and coming young fashion designer, it was set to be yet another jam-packed day of dressmaking and client pleasing. Just the way she liked it. And with the business for the upcoming Gala, she had quite a bit on her plate.
With a dainty, and most certainly ladylike, yawn, Rarity began her usual ritual of waking up. With her nightgown on, she made her way to her vanity and began to apply her usual make up.
She paused, briefly, to examine her complexion. A look of mild concern washed over her face, seemed the stress was getting to her. That simply wouldn’t do, maybe a trip to the spa after lunch?

A quick check of all rooms reviled no sing of the wayward filly, save for a single note on the kitchen table: “We’ve gone off to try for our cutie marks. CMC Tax Preparers GO!” Rarity wonder whether to step in at that, it wasn’t like the government needed more money…
Out of sight out of mind. They’ll be fine… She hoped.
A quick breakfast later, a final check of her hair, and a sign flip later, Rarity found herself in her workshop, sorting through her stock for her current dress.
She didn’t notice the green color of her magic aura…
