"Oh sweet Celestia! This is amazing Pearl!" Mint squealed. Her tail was going crazy!
"You really like it? I made it myself in my spare time!"
"Heck yeah I like it!" Mint said, staring at the pacific blue dress. It was silk, shiny but not a disco ball. The small strands of sequins around the edges of the fabric, which was large like the gown that Cinderella wore, made it sparkle like an afternoon sun! The golden threads and the icy blue fabric glowed in the show case light. It spoke to Mint, as if saying, "pick me pick me!" She asked how much it costs and Pearl grinned, pleased that somepony finally wanted to buy her work.
"Fifty bits and it's yours!"
"OMG really!? Fifty!? That's a steal! Are you sure?" Mint said, pulling out her bits from her snowy saddle bag.
"Yep! No shipping costs cause you can take it tonight! I have another one like this anyways that I can put up and you seem so kind! I can't sell it to ya for the price I was tempted to at first, which was a hundred. You got lucky miss..um..."
"Oh, my name's Mint Leaf! Sorry!"
"That's okay. I'm Pearl Threads! Nice to meet you!"
The two chatted and Mint bought the dress. She thanked her newfound friend, who actually went to her school much to Mint's surprise. She was an upperclassman, a senior actually. And since the year just started, it didn't surprise Mint to not know her, for she was only a sophomore.
"Mint! Oh there you are! I see you found the dress you wanted! Let's get home, alright?" Snow said to her daughter.
"Call me!" Pearl hollered to Mint as she left. They laughed and Snow Flurry flew to the front doors. Mint followed suit in flight, but she was a slight but faster than her mother due to her aerodynamic body build and her sort of control tail. The two laughed as they raced to the doors.
"Dad! Hurry up! I need a suit here!" Diamond said, running in place of excitement.
"Gee, son! I never knew a stallion so eager to go shopping in my life!" his father, Golden Falls, said sarcastically as he got in the Aura V6 car. It was a red-ish orange color with leaves as tire caps. The two set off to the mall as a familiar laugh hit Diamonds ears. He saw two shadows fly over the ground beside the car, but when looked up, nothing was there.
"Eh, just some fun loving pegasi!" Diamond chucked. He walked in and went to a famous store called "Seasonal Couture". The owner's twins worked there and they were good friends of Diamond's.
"Yo Onyx! You here!" Diamond called out, letting a soft whinny escape his lips.
"Hey Diamond!" Onyx called back, his white eyes twinkling in the store lights.
"I need a suit for-" he was cut short by Onyx.
"The Sun Dance? I know. Your "mare friend" just bought a dress from Pearl!" Onyx said. Diamond's mix-matched eyes widened in surprise.
"So that's who did a fly-by outside!" Diamond thought to himself.
"Yea. I knew you'd be shocked! Anyways, already got ya hooked up! Come on!" Onyx then grabbed Diamond's hoof, leaving Golden Falls to look at the generic suits outside.
"Sooooo, you likey!" Onyx said, unveiling his personal creation. It was a back suit, pretty generic, actually.
"Um...I, uh..."
"Oops! Wrong curtain!! WRONG CURTAIN!!" Onyx screamed as he quickly closed that curtain and opened the one next to it. "There we go!"
After the second attempt, the curtain revealed a black suit with a small tail. The snowy white undershirt with the emerald green tie made it a wonderful suit for Diamond! The silvery threads made it even more appealing. Diamond's jaw dropped. He had never seen anything like it before in his life!
"Holy Luna on Earth! This is awesome! Thanks Onyx! I knew I could count on you to have what I needed!" Diamond said, letting his tough pony reputation fall as he cried happily into Onyx's shoulder. Onyx returned the hug and patted his back.
"Hey, buddy? You alright there?"
"Mmhm!" Diamond said, nodding. They broke the friend hug and they each laughed awkwardly.
"S-sorry, man! I just got excited!"
"Naw, it's cool! Anyways, it's fifty bits! Actually half of what I wanted it to be, so be glad I'm giving you this deal!" Onyx said.
"Dang dude! That's...that's a steal!"
"EXACTLY WHAT MINT SAID!" Pearl called from the other room. She laughed and went back to counting bits. It was closing time and Diamond was the last customer.
"Haha! Alright fifty it is!" Diamond said, handing his friend the bits.
"Hey, thanks again man! I appreciate it!" Diamond said to Onyx as they left.
"No prob, Bob! See ya in chemistry tomorrow! Remember, pop quiz Thursday!!"
"Haha! Alright!"
