“You’re late.” Diamond-Butt scolded as soon as she saw me. She looked unimpressed and I had only just got there.
“Excuse me?” I frowned. “I’m helping you out here, the least you could do is thanking me for taking some time out of my busy life to visit.”
“Twilight already explained that you have no choice, darling.” Diamond-Butt spoke flatly. “I have a ton of outfits that need to be taken to my customers and they don’t like to be kept waiting.”
“Wait, who said I had to be your errand colt?” I frowned, crossing my arms contrarily. “I thought I was supposed to be helping you with your job. Shouldn’t I be on a sewing machine or something?”
“Heavens no!” Diamond-Butt exclaimed. “I wouldn’t trust you with making anything this early. And you are helping by sending these clothes to my customers.” I was suddenly met with a pile of clothes almost bigger than Diamond-Butt. “These are to be delivered to my customers immediately. Oh and Darling, if I get any complaints it’s not going to end well for you.”
With a grumble I stared at the clothes in my arms. It was going to take me all day to get through them all. I found myself suddenly grinning wickedly as I had an idea.
“You’d better not be planning to send those by magic.” Diamond-Butt warned. “Because if you are, I’ll know. You are to hand them to my customers directly.” Hearing this, I groaned inwardly.
It took me all morning and well into the afternoon but I finally got all the outfits sent out. Most of Diamond-Butt’s customers didn’t seem to be taking well to delivery by Draconequus. As I returned back to Diamond-Butt’s place I was met with her younger sister.
“Oh hey Discord.” Sweetie Belle smiled brightly. “My sister’s out doing something at the moment, so my friends and I thought we’d surprise her by helping her with the rest of her orders. Wanna help?”
“But Sweetie-Belle, ah thought we weren’t allowed to touch yer sister’s stuff.” Apple Bloom looked worried. “Won’t we git inta trouble?”
“I don’t think so.” Sweetie Belle shook her head. “My sister told me that Discord was going to be working for her today so he can help us out.” I could sense the chaos coming from this idea in droves, and quickly spoke up.
“Of course I’ll help.” I grinned. “After all, Rarity did say I was supposed to help her, and with you three keeping an eye on me I’m sure everything will be fine…”
As I anticipated, everything was not fine. I may have been able to do almost anything, but it seemed that didn’t extend to dress-making.
“Just go out and play with Sweetie Belle, I don’t care!” Those were the last words out of Diamond-Butt’s mouth as I departed. Happily, I took my leave.
