	Hope Shine, Spike, and Twilight are now heading out of Sugar Cube Corner and past the crowd of ponies next to it vying for the chance to get into the new restaurant next door. We watch the Group of friends, now on their way to one of Twilight’s good friends Rarity.
“So, what is Rarity like?” asked Hope Shine, curios as to who she’s about to meet.
“She’s absolutely beautiful!” Spike responded, daydreaming Rarity.
“Well that’s one way of putting it,” giggled Twilight, “Don’t worry. The best way to know what she’s like is to meet her, which we’ll be doing soon.”
Hope didn’t think this was much of an answer to her question, but she figured it would have to suffice for the moment. They were getting close, Hope could tell that they were close because they were honing in on what looked to be a boutique.

At that same time, the Crusaders were at Rarities waiting for Sweetie Belle to find her satchel so they could go on with their day of crusading.
“Sorry to make you wait,” Sweetie Belle apologized, “I can’t believe I forgot my bag.”
“That’s okay,” Scootaloo reassured her.
“Yeah, it’sal’rit’,” Apple Bloom added.
“Thanks, I’ll be right back,” she said while running to her room.
While Apple Bloom and Scootaloo were waiting for Sweetie Belle to come down, they heard a knocking at the door.
“I got it!”  Scootaloo exclaimed, heading straight for the door.
When she opened the door Twilight, Spike and Hope Shine were standing there. Once the door was open, they came into the boutique.
“Hey Twilight, what are you doing here?” Scootaloo questioned.
“Oh, hello Scootaloo,” Twilight addressed her, “I was just on my way to talk with Rarity.”
“Well, we were just about to head out and try our luck in ice skating!” exclaimed Scootaloo excitedly.
“Cutie Mark Crusaders; Ice skating cutie marks, YAY!” Apple Bloom and Scootaloo cheered in unison while they did a mid-air high five.
Just as her fellow Crusaders finished their little celebration, Sweetie Belle came down from her room. When she came out she wasn’t expecting to see a certain purple dragon, and thus her face turned bright red for a moment. Luckily, the dragon in question didn’t see this, and nobody else for that matter to her relief. She soon got her emotions under control and came up to her friends.
“Hey girls, ready to get going?” asked Sweetie Belle.
“Yeah, let’s go!” proclaimed Scootaloo.
Apple Bloom was staring at Hope Shine, the wheels in her head turning. The whole thing was making Hope Feel uneasy, the way she was staring at her and all, kind of like she was staring into her sole. Beads of sweat were beginning to form on her head.
“Wait girls,” Apple Bloom finally said, breaking the award silence, “I have an idea. Hows’ about we help Hope Shine here find her memory!”
“Yeah!” Sweetie thought aloud, “I think that’s a great idea!”
“But what about ice skating?” questioned Scootaloo.
“Well, this is more important one. Two, how we gonna ice skate in the summer?” AB responded.
“Yeah, you’re right about that,” Scootaloo conceded.
“Plus, I think this might be how we get our cutie marks!” Sweetie Belle added.
“You’re right!” Apple Bloom and Scootaloo responded. The trio then said “CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS: MEMORY LOSS HELPERS! YAY!”
“Whoa whoa whoa now girls,” Twilight interrupted.
“What Twilght, are you saying you don’t want our help?” Scootaloo asked.
“No, it’s just that you girls have already done more than enough,” Twilight answered.
“Eeyup!” AB began in fashion like her brothers, “ and we’re gonna do s’more!”
“Well, alright,” Twilight began, “So, where is Rarity?”
“Yeah, where’s Rarity?” Spike wondered aloud.
“I’m in here darling!” Rarity almost shouted from her design room.
The White mare came downstairs to greet guests and friends. Once she was downstairs she greeted Twilight first.
“Oh, hello Twilight. Hello Spiky-wiky, and- wait, who might you be miss?” Rarity said.
“Oh, I, um, I’m Hope Shine,” the silver filly replied.
“Hope Shine,” Rarity reveled, “what a marvelous name. So Twilight, and Hope Shine, why are you here?”
“Well,” Twilight began, “we’re going around Ponyville and checking with everyone to see if they know anything about Hope Shine. You see, she’s lost her memory.”
After finding this out Rarity let out a gasp, she found it horrifying that this poor little filly had completely lost her memory.
“Oh no you poor dear, I can’t even imagine how you must feel. Is there anything I can do?” Rarity lamented.
“Actually yes,” Twilight interjected, thus interrupting her friends lement, “if could keep a watchful eye out for anything that may be useful, and let us know what you learn, that would help immensely.”
“Of course darling, I will most certainly let you know the moment anything comes up,” the unicorn promised, “and before I let you go, I simply cannot allow you to go around in a tattered cloak such as this, leave it with me so I can fix it up for you. I insist.”
“Why, thank you miss Rarity,” replied Hope Shine.
“Yes, thank you Rarity, we greatly appreciate what you’re doing for us,” the alicorn princess added.
“Oh no trouble at all darling, generosity is my thing after all,” Rarity said modestly.
Hope Shine then proceeded to give the cloak to Rarity, who began to go to her sowing room to work on it immediately.
“I bring it to you once I’m finished.”
“Well,” Twilight started, “we better get going. We still need to see if Apple Jack, Fluttershy, or Rainbow Dash knows anything that might be useful.”
“Ta-ta, see you soon,” Rarity chimed in as they left.
“So, next were off to Sweet Apple Acres to see Apple Jack to let her know that we could use her help?” asked the curious dragon.
“That’s right Spike, our next stop is Sweet Apple Acres!” replied an enthusiastic alicorn.
“Alright then, let’s go see if mah sister knows anything!” AB proclaimed.
