Sweetie Belle's Big Trip

Half an hour later, we finally arrive in Canterlot. It's everything I've ever imagined, and so much more. Mares in elegant gowns and stallions in fancy tuxes are absolutely everywhere. I get my suitcase out from under my seat and follow Rarity off the train.

I set my hooves down, and for the very first time, I'm in Canterlot. Rarity and I walk a few blocks (much to Rarity's disgust) until we arrive at a tall building in the central square of Equestria's capitol city. It looks just like Carousel Boutique, but taller and fancier.

"Is this the new Carousel Boutique?" I ask Rarity excitedly. Rarity nods. "Of course, Sweetie Belle. What else would it be? And I must say, it is quite magnificent! I can't wait to see what it looks like on the inside."

Rarity unlocks the door with her horn and we trot inside. The whole place looks just like Carousel Boutique, but upgraded to Canterlot status. I quickly run upstairs to where I know my bedroom will be. Just like everything else, it's the same, but upgraded.

I open my new closet and unpack all my clothes from Ponyville, including the dress from Rarity. "Sweetie Belle!" Rarity calls up the stairs. I quickly gallop dowmstairs. "Coming!" I holler. I reach the bottom of the stairs and stop in front of Rarity.

Rarity smiles and flips her mane back, over her shoulder. "Sweetie Belle, since we're going to live in Canterlot from now on, I went ahead and enrolled you in school. You will be attending Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns."

My jaw drops in shock. "Isn't that the most expensive school in Canterlot?" I ask in amazement. "Well of course it is, but of course you were recommended by Twilight Sparkle to the Princess, so you get a special pass. You get to attend for free! School starts tomorrow." Rarity replies calmly. "Now, do go wash the tart crumbs off your hooves. We have dresses to make."
