Equestria Girls (How I Would Have Done It)

by Calligraphy Legends

|:Chapter 6:|

By the time Rarity had picked up Sweetie from Applejack’s and gotten home, it was time for dinner. She heated up some leftovers and ate with Sweetie. Explaining how she had ended up in detention.

Once her little sister was off to bed, she went to her room and sat at her laptop. She opened it and her website loaded up.

Welcome to Carousel Boutique
Where everything is chic, unique, and magnifique!

The page finished loading up her greeting page for her online store. She checked on her sales, she was up two percent! Sales hadn’t increased in a few months, she was getting worried. She jumped over to vlog and saw her subscribers had increased a little as well!

“At least things are finally looking up,” she sighed.

She minimized those and brought up her pre-recorded video. Herself sketching her latest design. All she needed was the audio. She turned on her microphone and pressed play on the already edited footage.

“Hello, everyone!” she said in a crisp, clear tone. “Rarity here, with a new design. It’s part of my business chic line, which I’m sorry I haven’t been getting up faster. But these are already available on my store - Carouselboutique.com - so you can check them out there…”

Things for Rainbow weren’t going very well. The moment she got home, her parents called. Sighing loudly, she fell on her bed and answered the phone.

“Hey, Mom,” she said, her voice half muffled by the pillow on her face.

“Don’t you “Hey, Mom” me, young lady!” her mother said sternly. “You got detention again?!”

“To be fair, it was a misunderstanding.”

“It still goes on your permanent record! How do you expect to go to school on an athletic scholarship if detention is all over your records?!”

“Mom, I wasn’t trying to get into trouble. A friend of mine fell in the pool, I tried to grab her before she fell, but she had leverage and we both fell in. That’s all that happened.”

“You weren’t in a fight?”

“No, Mom. I told you, I haven’t gotten in a single fight since coming here, and that’s still true.”

“Rainbow Co-”

“Don’t say it! I promise you, I’m telling the truth. You can even call and ask the school, it wasn’t a fight.”

“Alright. Sorry I got mad.”

“It’s alright. I gotta go do homework, tell Dad I said goodnight.”

“I will, love you.”

“Love you, too.”

As Rainbow hung up, she retraced her conversation with her mother.

“Did I just call Rarity my friend?” she cocked her head, her rainbow hair falling over her shoulder. “Hmm, guess so.”

She wasn’t sure why she had said it, but it felt right.

Author's Note:

Sorry this is super short! I just wanted to give a little character development and show that their parents are actually aware of what's going on with them. Or, at least, some of them.

They just happened to start becoming friends?

7480793 Well, not exactly. There's a lot more yet to come, and I do plan on incorporating magic into this story. Which does have a small part to do with it. It'll become clearer as the story unfolds. Also, thank you very much for the favorite

7480746 *shrug* A lot of people just don't like re-writes. Others just don't like the fact that I said I didn't like the first EG movie very much.

Why aren't the chapters longer?

[Calligraphy Legends]

7481129 I'm just doing some set up stuff right now, they'll be longer as I get deeper into the story.

[Raindrop Rose]

Short, but enjoyable. I do like that you're trying to give everyone a solid backstory.

7483161 Thanks The movie didn't give much because the characters were already established in the show, but I though they could have taken some creative freedom with everything. Seeing as this is a different world.
