Rarity has finally opened her own boutique store in Canterlot, which is a dream come true! That means that she can sell her newest line of fashion clothes to many ponies who adore the princesses and let them shine throughout Equestria, and enjoy her newfound fame, right?

Wrong! Because somehow, one way or the other, Sassy Saddles, her manger at said store has taken a great deal in only ONE of the dresses in the Royal regalia collection and that’s the “princess dress.” And that has been gaining popularity ever since the store has opened! Frazzled, Rarity tries to make some new creative additions to the dress to show her unique style which got shot down automatically by her manager, and the customers who want each dress the same way as it was. When Rarity decides to shut down the boutique by having a closing down sale, she then finds out the ponies adore the other dresses and realizing that Rarity’s rules are creative and one-of-a-kind, Sassy decides to help Rarity run the boutique her own way.

But what if something else happened?

What if at Sassy’s suggestion of an assembly line, Rarity decided to throw in the towel and close down her own boutique for good? How would Sassy react? How would her friends react? How would all of Canterlot react? How different would it have been? It would probably result in an outcome that Rarity would regret later on...

An alternate ending to Canterlot Boutique, and the sixth in my alternate ending series.
