To the Boutique In Search for a Cape: 7

“Rarity, Scootaloo needs a new Cape. She grew out of it after Twilight sparkle tried to help healing her after an accident!” Sweetie Belle pointed out in a serious business tone of voice.

“You mean to say Scootaloo grew out of her cape, while neither of you did?” Rarity enquired.

“Yes, I certainly do need a new Cape!” Scootaloo pointed out in a serious tone of voice.

“Wait, who are you? Are you Scootaloo? If so, you certainly do need a new Cape!” I responded.

“I am Scootaloo! Just wait until Cheerilee sees me? I still have more than a year of studies in her class, before I am ready to leave her behind, as much fun as she can be!” Scootaloo pointed out.

“Now as you mentioned, Scootaloo, I though I recognised you. I will help you making a cape for you. Though I would ask you to write a journal of the entire episode. Twilight Sparkle will love to read about your adventures. Yet, I fear she wouldn’t be happy if you withhold the event from her. Did this happen today? Your mane has taken on the quality of that you see on an Alicorn!” I rambled as I picked the respective fabrics for a cape in a fully adult size.

“Thank you, Rarity!” Scootaloo pronounced in response, as I had promised to make her a new cape.

“At least now it isn’t your entire body glowing, Scootaloo. Yet, your mane and tail is definitely growing radiant again, just as you did as we went to Zecora, and with Pinkie Pie!” Sweetie Belle observed.

“You went to Zecora, in the Everfree forest?” I enquired.

“Yeah, we did. We went there after we had regrouped in our club house, just after the accident with my scooter. I was just a few tiny sizes larger at the time. Zecora helped me with the problem as my aura was in a disarray as Sweetie Belle told us!” Scootaloo explained.

“Our club house is practically in the forest, but on our property!” Apple Bloom added, before I could ask.

“Your family was given the land in order to garrison against the forest, if I am not mistaken. You had already grown larger than your fellow Crusaders, Scootaloo?” I continued.

“That would make us the first true Ponyvillians?” Apple Bloom pondered.

“Yeah, but at the time my mane was still just a regular little Pegasi mane!” Scootaloo responded.

“The aura did clear up fairly quickly, as we left Zecora to her other business at hoof. She is quite nice and helpful!” Sweetie Belle added.

“Pinkie Pie gave us a nice treat, as we went to the Sugar-Cube Corner Café. Then she decided to make it on the house, as she called it. She told us she couldn’t just give me the treat and make them pay for their portions!” Scootaloo pointed out.

“She can be very generous, when it is entertainment involved. She can’t stand by and see any Pony less happy than possible. I guess that is in her element!” I responded as I finished selecting fabrics.

“These are exactly the same fabrics I used!” Sweetie Belle complimented me.

“I do have an eye for these kinds of details. It would defeat the purpose if I chose other fabrics, wouldn’t it?” I pointed out.

“Yeah, you sure do have a point there, Rarity!” Scootaloo confessed.

“You do have a good point there, Scootaloo!” Sweetie Belle conceded.

“I could as well make a pair for you as well, while I am at it. Since I am the element of generosity, I feel an urge to live up to it at all times. This is my way to keep Ponyvlle the happy community I would enjoy living and working in!” I pointed out.

“I guess we share the responsibility to maintain the spirit of our village and community in the spirit we would like things to be!” Scootaloo pondered.

“That means I have to stay generous, aside from creative and observant to my fellow Ponies’ needs. On second thought, you mane and tail truly are as radiant as you gave me the impression they would be!” I responded.

“Yeah, I guess it does, just hope it doesn’t put too great a strain on you, Rarity. We enjoy and appreciate you just the way you are!” Scootaloo pointed out.

“Thanks, Scootaloo. I may consider making your cape a size larger, just to stay on the safe side. I don’t like to make a new one for each and every size you are growing now, or be forced to abandon the cape, half way through because you outgrew it while I was watching!” I pointed out as I started to stitch together the cape for Scootaloo.

“I know, it isn’t embarrassing, but rather amusing now. I would be the largest Blanc-Flank in history? That makes me special in a different way, but special nonetheless. I kind of like it, even if it will take something to get used to!” Scootaloo pondered in a strange haze of revelation.

“Ah reckon it is exciting to have you with us, Scoots. Ah still like you as my friend, just as much as Ah did as Ah met you!” Apple Bloom pointed out.

“Thanks, Apple Bloom. I appreciate your honesty. Something I appreciate you Apples for, I know what you say is true. We need more of that in Ponyville!” Scootaloo responded.

“Yes, honesty is a treasure, not that Ponyville is lacking on the subject, I guess we have the Apples to thank for the honesty!” Sweetie Belle pondered.

“These capes are going to be great, even better than the originals. Now we can enjoy wearing them even more than before!” Scootaloo complimented as I finished off the final seam on her large cape.

“Aside from the fact that you are still growing by the looks of it, but now it feels as if I should have completed the small once first. Thank you, Scootaloo. You three will look fabulous now, simply smashing, if I am allowed to say so myself!” I responded.

“In your case, Rarity. I guess you are allowed to. They are as fabulous as you said, just as the suits for the play I wrote!” Sweetie belle squeaked.
