So I’m sitting there, tending bar, when in comes one of my most fabulous customers, Rarity.
Now, Rarity always had an impeccable sense of passion and not to mention her generosity. I mean her tips were always paid in quite a few diamonds, which really go great over in the human world.
My smile immediately grew wider when she entered.
“Good mornin’ Ms. Rarity”, I said as she sat by the bar, “How you feelin’ today”.
“Pretty awkward”, she said with an embarrassed smile, “I just had something weird happen to me”.
“Oh really?” I said, “What’s that?”
“Why don’t you give me some of that good ol’ absinthe of yours and I’ll tell ya”, she winked at me.
I blushed a bit and served her the drink.
“So what’s got you in such a good mood?” I asked her.
“Oh I just had the most divine day ever”, she started, “I just came from a promotion of my newest line of fashion and they loved it!”
“Really?” I said, “Well that’s great news for you”.
“Well it was at first”, she said, “I prepared everything from the clothing line to the runaway, everything was just beautiful. And that, something happened”, she said and turned her head away.
“What?” I asked her in surprise.
“Well, after the show, which gone spectaculary, if I can add”, she said with pride, “One of the models approached me. I believe her name was Fleur de Lis and she got a bit too close”.
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“Well she asked me if I”, she said with a shy smile, “play for the other team”.
“What other team?” I asked.
“You know”, she bulged her eyes, “The OTHER team”.
“OH”, I said as it finally clicked to me, “She’s into mares”.
“Well, put so bluntly”, she said and sipped her drink, “I mean, I have nothing about such mares, but she got way too close”.
“How close?” I asked.
“Like so close she almost kissed me on the muzzle”, she said.
“So what did you do?” I asked her.
“Well, what could I do?” she began, “I turned her advances down, but she just wouldn’t stop teasing me all night. It was getting rather uncomfortable. I had to leave the party much earlier because of that”, she said and took a big sip of her drink.
“Well, at least that’s over with”, I tried to comfort her.
“I wish that were true”, she said and rubbed her templates with her hoof.
I looked at her with a puzzled eye.
“Since my line was so well received, more of my dresses are going to be presented tonight. And who better to present them than Ms. De Lis herself”, she finished and gulped down the rest of her drink, "At least according to Photo Finish. Urgh"
“Sounds pretty awkward”, I said, “So what’s your plan here?”
“Get in and get out, without making any eye contact what so ever”, she said and left me the money for the absinthe.
“Good luck with that”, I told her as she left.
“Thanks”, she sighed and left.
You see a lot of weird things as a bartender. You see a lot of weird things at the Hay Palace. So, I see a lot of weird things as a bartender at the Hay Palace. And that’s no lie. Swear on me mum.
