The birds chirped loudly in the summer morning as a young filly raced to the door of another ponies bedroom. Her smile reached from ear to ear while she eagerly pranced from the bottom of the stairs to the top. A juvenile humming could be heard throughout the empty sounds of the home. As she raced to the door, she pressed the door wide open without regard for the occupant of the room.

"MORNING RARITY! IT'S TIME FOR BREAKFAST!"

As the younger sister screamed out to her older sister, Rarity turned over in her sheets. It was evident that she was still a bit tired from the events of the previous day. It took a lot out of her in order to go out and save an entire nation from the evils of a legend, especially when they stayed up all night the day prior to the event. And despite her little sister's cries, she insisted that she would stay in bed for the day.

"Nommmmm... Smoke... D'oh Sweetie Belle, can you please turn down those flames..." Rarity whispered before a timer went off inside of her head. It ultimately reminded her that smoke was not supposed to be apart of her morning rituals. "...SMOKE!?"

"Yup! This morning I made you cereal!" She eagerly answered with a bright smile on her face, oblivious to her elder sister's concerns.

"CEREAL!? Did you remember to, oh I don't know, NOT SET IT ON FIRE!?" Rarity asked Sweetie Belle while falling out of her bed.

"We ran out of cereal, so I tried to make some of our own." Sweetie Belle answered yet again.

"Oh dear Celestia!" Rarity screamed while running directly for the door. To her misfortune, she forgot to remove the sleep blinders that she wore over her eyes and promptly ran into a wall, inches shy of the door. Realizing her mistake, she magically tossed the blinds to the side and galloped for the kitchen, followed by a calmly trotting Sweetie Belle.

As they reached the kitchen below, Rarity turned off all the flames that were lit on the stove and extinguished any strays with buckets of water. After the battle for the kitchen, Rarity panted over the blackened stove as she triumphantly stood with a bucket of water on hoof.

"Awww Rarity! Now the cereal's going to be all soggy." Sweetie griped to her older sister, angry that she doused the homemade cereal flakes, or their remnants in this case, in copious amounts of water.

Rarity took a deep breath as she tried to remain calm and collected for the sake of her younger sister. With a false, yet convincing smile, she chose her words carefully.

"Sweetie Belle, dearest. If you wanted something to eat, then you come upstairs and address me on the matter. I do not think that a subtle interruption in my sleep cycle would prove to be as... treacherous."

"But I didn't wanna wake you up." The young filly stated. "And plus you always cook. I wanted to give it a try. Besides, it couldn't be that hard to be able to fix something."

Rarity looked at the burnt stove-top and back to her sister as she deadpanned. "You don't say?"

"And also, there was a letter in the mail. The mailmare dropped it off this morning. It said something about a town cleanup before the big thunderstorm this evening." Sweetie Belle recalled facing the stove.

"A cleanup? Well I'll suppose I'll particip- YOU READ MY MAIL!?" Rarity said furious that her little sister read her mail.

"You were going to be too busy to read it once you got started on your dresses." Sweetie rebutted.

Rarity understood that her little sister had the best in mind when it came to what she wanted to do. The only thing that irked her was the means of doing so... and the results that would occasionally cause a great deal of damage to the Carousel Boutique. But despite all of these things, Rarity still loved her little sister in spite of her antics in her search to find her cutie mark.

With a sigh, Rarity accepted her little sister's argument and took it to heart. "Thanks Sweetie. But the next time I get some mail, please keep in mind that it's for my eyes only and that the only times that I would permit you to read them is when I ask you to do so."

"Okay." The young white filly responded to her sibling's request. "...So what are we going to do for breakfast?"

Rarity looked at the stove and knew that cooking wasn't exactly the best idea at the moment. But then she was reminded of one of her recent friends working at a certain bakery downtown. A smile grew on her lips as she came up with a solution.

"Say Sweetie, how about we grab ourselves a bite to eat before you head out to school?"

Azure slowly opened his eyes to see the light of the sun filtering into the bedroom of Luna. As he came to his senses, he surveyed the area and remembered that this was the room of the lunar princess, the younger sister of Princess Celestia herself.

Slowly, he observed her sleeping posture and took notice that her hoof was firmly held against his abdomen, locking him to her. He lit his horn and manipulated the space around her hoof and slowly pulled at it. But the amount of strength she had placed into keeping him there proved to be far greater than he had anticipated. Her size was an obvious deception to her actual physical might.

Once more, this time with more strain, he lifted her hoof off of him and slowly slid out of place. In his stead, he took one of the large pillows and placed it in between her and her hoof. Finally completing his escape, he quietly made his way to the door.

"You would leave your princess, despite her wishing that you would not leave her?"

Azure froze in place as he realized that she may have been awake the entire time. He didn't dare to turn around, fearing that her eyes were fixed on him. And much to his fear, they were.

"I did not grant you permission to leave me. I did not dismiss you. Though, I will in a moment."

Azure cursed to himself as he looked at the doorway in front of him. His voice crept in from his early morning exhaustion. "What would you like for me to do this morning, princess?"

"I would like you to turn around."

Azure obeyed her command without question. But what he saw when he did made him want to do one of two choices. The first choice was to run to her. The second was to turn around and remove himself from her presence out of embarrassment.

There on the bed lied his princess. Though she was young in her appearance, she was more than mature in her gestures. Her eyes trailed to him, urging him to behold what she was offering to him. His eyes follower hers and he noticed the small blue frame of her body, her lanky wings that unfurled lightly and her shapening figure. His eyes continued on down until he tried to bypass what she was really trying to show him. And she immediately caught on to his strife as she noticed the blushing on his face, the sweat of his brow and the rate of his breathing.

"Do not look away, my guard. This is what is offered to you. But it shall be only a sample of what is to come." She spoke in a sultry voice.

Azure gulped hard as he stood at attention. She also noticed that he was raised to half mast. A devious smile crept on her face as she took notice on what was happening to him down below. She internally squeed with glee as she observed the first log of stallion flesh that she had seen in over a thousand years.

"P-p-prin...c-cess. I h-have... to go now." Azure stuttered before he opted to run out of the room.

But before he could turn around to make an exit, he felt his entire body being swallowed with the light blue aura that was not his own. Instead, his princess ensnared him with her magic and proceeded to move him back to the bed. As she did so, her hind legs restlessly rubbed against one another as she bit her lip. She did all that she could to contain her obvious excitement as it oozed from her nethers and onto the bedding below.

"So... what would you like to see of your princess?" She asked as her words became as hot as steam. Her every consonant hissed like droplets of water to a lit flame.

"I-" Azure didn't even get a chance to place his arguments as she held a hoof to his lips.

"It is just you and me now. Pay no heed to the world outside. Now... I suppose that my sister did tell you the three things that a guard is to do when serving his princess, yes?" She removed her hoof from his mouth so that he would answer her question.

"To protect your princess." Azure quietly answered, feeling a knot in his throat.

"Yes... but sometime you have to go a little further than to protect her from all harm." She stated.

"L-Love your princess."

"Yes... though I wish to go even further." She said as closed the distance between him and her.

"S-s-s-serve... your princess?"

"That's better. Now service me my dear guard."

Azure figured that the large lump in his throat had to have been his heart, or at least it felt like it as her lips inched to his and her hoof trailed down his chest, just inches away from his own show of eagerness. His face flushed as he tried to clarify what she was really asking for.

"Princess... How may I service you?"

"...I wish for you to kiss me... grace my lips with yours."

He offered to close the distance between their muzzles, but she restrained him and teased him for his eagerness to do so. "Foolish colt, I did not mean those lips."

He felt every inch of his exposed stallionhood pump full of excitement and heat as he slowly, yet nervously, lowered himself to her inner thighs. She whispered to to him, impatient at his speed yet praising his approach. His muzzle finally reached the final destination and he breathed at an agonizing pace, ensuring that the heat of his air ravaged her senses.

"Kiss me dear stallion. Serve me like no other."

Her hooves hugged his head as he grew close to her desiring sex. Her back strained and arched as he finally made his first contact with her moistened lips.

"You've wounded me last night, my guard. Your teasings of love and romances filled me with much joy. But they have also left me unfulfilled, as they were naught but lies. You shall repent for your actions by this deed." She whispered in a labored tone as he continued to work himself against her folds.

He prodded her entrance with his tongue, ellicting a loud moan to pass from her lips. She rapidly retreated herself from him, releasing him and rejecting him from going any further. Azure raised his head with concern for his actions.

"Did I do something that did not please you?"

"No!" She exclaimed, not wanting him to feel like his performance was lacking. "In fact it was the opposite of displeasing. But I requested that you kiss me, not taste me."

"But my princess," Azure asked, feeling his confidence build back to the days of his high school freshmeat year. "You taste divine, allow me to finish my indulgence."

His words nearly brought her to ruin as she tried to repress her instinctive urge to force himself into her. "You may finish, but not today."

"I understand." He responded. "Though if you think that this is something that you felt was of the heavens, then I should warn you that this is actually a taste of what's to come."

"Your mocking will only hasten and prolong your punishment."

"Then punish me now, princess." Azure requested, desperately seeking to finish what she started.

"I already have." Luna retorts as she rises from the bed and quickly trot to the bathroom. "Now feel free to patrol the halls."

"B-But-"

"You are dismissed, Lieutenant." Luna enforces while pushing him out of the door. "Now go forth and serve your princess."

The door closes with a loud resounding boom. The halls echo with the sound of hoofsteps and light conversation as Azure remains standing in front of the door. His mind wanders back to the taunting of his princess, desiring that he would finish his engagements with her as well as finishing himself within her eager depths. If there was anything that was certain, she longed to have the familiar sensation of a stallion thrusting within her and rutting her into the carpet.

"WHOA THERE!"

"WOOD ON DECK!"

"ARMS PRESENT!"

Azure jumped at the three voices that shouted behind him and immediately went to hide himself by whatever means. As he turned around to face who it was that was taunting him, he found that it was nothing more than his three friends: Longshot, Poindexter and Shining Armor.

"S-s... SHUT UP!" Azure shouted to his three laughing comrades.

"So what, the princess threw you out because of a case of morning wood?" Poindexter joked.

"No! She thought my wood was more than adequate, thanks for asking!" Azure lashed back, gaining a few laughs from the others.

"So what, you wanna explain why you're outside of her room with a raging boner?" Longshot asked.

"Too much mare for him to handle, I suppose." Shining jested.

The three continued their long line of boner jokes as well as jokes that teetered into the subject of erectile dysfunction. Azure was reduced to nothing more than a blushing husk of himself. It was apparent that he didn't want to be there at the moment of being blue-balled.

"All of you, FUCK OFF!"

Later that evening in Ponyville, thunderclouds and the sound of the winds howling throughout the air. A torrential downpour has come down to the very town of Ponyville. The storm was scheduled as a cleanup of the events of the day's past, as well as making up for the lack of a rain shower the past week, but it would seem that this storm was making more of a mess than cleaning it up. And those who were unfortunate enough to find themselves in the storm received the full wrath of the weather.

Both Applejack and Rarity were the ones caught in such a downpour. The both of them argued originally debated on whether the branches were better off being salvaged and replaced on the trees or if they were to remove them, adding to the mess that was created with the massive celebration. Applejack was thinking in terms of the practical while Rarity was thinking on the levels of simplicity. But their debate soon erupted into whether taking shelter underneath a muddy table would prove to be useful or worse depending on the current conditions of the pouring rain. Fortunately, there was a third option.

"APPLEJACK! RARITY!"

The two mares looked at each other with a distasteful look before facing the source of the voice.

"APPLEJACK! RARITY!"

"Twilight?" The both of them called out in question.

"COME INSIDE GIRLS, QUICK!" Twilight shouted from the comfort of the library.

Instantly, the two rained-on mares made a dash for the library. As Rarity took a burst of speed leaving behind Applejack, she managed to make it inside of the tree-shaped library while Applejack made a stop short of the welcoming mat.

"Whoa nelly!" Applejack exclaimed. "Is inside of a tree the best place to be in a lightning storm?"

"Is is when you have a magical lightning rod protecting your home like I do." Twilight spoke with a smile, obviously planning something. "Come on in!"

Rarity gasped in relief as she looked at the purple unicorn walk towards one of the larger bookshelves. "We are most grateful for your invitation."

"Thank ya kindly fer yer hospitality." Applejack cosigned as she started to walk inside. But before she could go any further, Rarity stopped her before she could make her way in. As the orange apple mare looked at the prim fashionista, Rarity took a moment to remind her that mud was still on her hooves.

"Um... Do be a polite house guest and wash up please, won't you?" Rarity spoke in a mocking tone before walking away.

Applejack groaned to herself as she made her way outside. "Arrrgh... If Ah gotta spend one more second with that fuss-budget Rarity today, Ah can't be held responsible fer what Ah'm gonna do."

It was no secret to the town that she and Rarity didn't get along very well. And to their respective families, it was quite a shame. The reason being was that they were good friends when they were foals. Applejack was often supportive for when things got tough for Rarity. And Rarity was always present in Applejack's worst moments, including the news of her parents death and their funeral. Time tended to separate friends from each other in many cases so it was no different in their case. As the time passed, their interests grew separate from each others and more so their own personal feelings.

In short: a colt got in between the two. Applejack liked him, he liked Rarity and Rarity denied him, causing him to be saddened. And of course, Applejack sought to defend him and stood up to Rarity. They haven't talked much since then. Usually her time would be shared with Fluttershy, as Applejack tended to spend her time with Rainbow Dash. But now they had to do the one thing that irked them the most: spend time with each other.

Twilight stopped in front of the large bookshelf and looked back at Rarity before she spoke. "Some storm, huh? The pegasus ponies really outdid themselves this time. I hope that you and Applejack don't have any trouble of getting home."

Rarity looked around to the windows and saw that the storm was indeed getting worse and finally admitted to the lavender mare. "It... may indeed be a problem."

"Well, you're welcome to stay here if need be. Spike is away at Canterlot on royal business..." Twilight answered.

Meanwhile at Canterlot...

"CHUG! CHUG! CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!"

While a large group of stallions chanted and cheered at the two drinking stallions, Spike was busy as he was monitoring the group of guards, more noticeably Twilight's elder brother and his friends taking down as many drinks as possible. He was the score keeper while Shining and Longshot took back drink after drink. Poindexter was busy marking up a passed-out Azure's face with the words 'The Royal Bone Monkey' followed by the words 'Insert penis here' that pointed to his mouth.

Spike wore a pink lampshade on his head that had the words 'judge' defacing the surface.

"...So I'm home all alone tonight." Twilight continued before an idea came to mind, providing something to entertain her while her assistant was away at business. "You and Applejack should totally sleep over! We'll have a slumber party! I've always wanted one of those!"

Rarity proceeded to look at the mare as if she had lost all trace of sanity. The mere thought of Applejack and her sharing a bed sent shivers of disgust down her spine. She blinked herself out of her moment of reflection.

"Oh... goodness! I-uh... do believe I have another engagement scheduled for this evening. It completely slipped my mind until just now. Hahaha" Rarity lied while failing to sound somewhat convincing. "Oh silly me. I... can't possibly stay here all night... with Applejack."

Twilight levitated a book off of the top shelf and placed it in front of the snow-white unicorn. As Rarity took the time to read the words out loud, Twilight smiled at the possibilities of what all could occur that night.

"Slumber-101: All that you wanted to know about slumber parties but were afraid to ask."

"My own personal copy. It's a fantastic reference guide. You should see the table of contents. I've been waiting for a chance to use it, and today's the day. This is going to be so great!"

Rarity faked her enthusiasm and laughed nervously as her eyes darted from the exuberant mare in front of her to the not-so excited mare outside of the window. Applejack was busy cleaning her hooves and found a nice cold stream of hose water to the face. Rarity rolled her eyes and thought to herself.

"Dearest Celestia, this is going to be a long night."

"Okay! The winner of the weekly chug off is... Longshot!"

The group of stallions cheered as they watched their fallen captain accept his defeat with a large thud to the floor, losing all sense of balance. Longshot on the other hoof, stumbled and wobbled as he raised his hooves to accept his victory. Spike laughed and chuckled with many of the other stallions in attendance while they all sang songs about Blueblood's mom and often gathered a long list of insults that they wanted to call out to the prince's face without the repercussions of literally saying it to his face. They even got on the subject of the new guard regiment that was established earlier that day.

But the majority of the guards were there just to forget their daily troubles and have some fun. Life in the was not difficult, but rather frustrating. And they needed a release from all of that anger and stress of dealing with the nobles and more infamously, Blueblood.

Surprisingly, none of these mature subjects affected Spike. In fact, he was more accustomed to this kind of lifestyle than he was being treated like a child. It was true that he still had his child-like excitement within, he also had a snappy wit that was far beyond his age. He knew of all of the dirty raunchy jokes that the stallions told on a Saturday night. He judged all of the games. He even covered for some of the guards who brought a mare with them.

Spike was more mature than he had led Twilight to believe. With his constant work inside of the library meant that he was well read and well studied. He could even last as long as Twilight did when it came to the extended lectures that she received and gave out to others. He considered Twilight as an older sibling, though he didn't like it when he was considered to be a child. It was true that he was a child, but he also knew what he wanted and how he would go about obtaining the object of his desires.

One such desire was a mare that he recently met in Ponyville by the name of Rarity Andalusia Belle. Though he wouldn't dare disclose the name of his crush out of scrutiny that he would be too young for her to handle.

"Hey Spike! Why don't you come over here and help me get Shiny off the floor!" Longshot joked as he pointed to the defeated challenger.

"Sure thing." Spike answered with a giggle.

As they made their way to the inebriated form of the Captain of the Royal Guard, they counted to three and hoisted up the temporarily disabled stallion.

"Nnnnnthanks guize." Shining groaned to the stallion and the young drake.

They took him to the couch and offered him a cup of coffee to waken him from his stupor. Shining accepted the drink and took it down as soon as he received it. Though his motor skills still needed some time to properly gain ground, he still found the ability to walk forward.

He still stumbled as he finally took another seat to the bar.

"Hey, I don't think you should be drinking anymore. You just got sent under the table not even five minutes ago." Spike advised to the captain.

"Yeah... I'm just here to get another cup of coffee. I need to get myself back on track for later. Besides, if Cadie finds out I've been drinking, she'll have my ass on a pike." Shining answered, remembering that his fiance didn't like him drinking at all.

"Yeah, sounds about right." Longshot cosigned with knowledge on the subject. "Fiances and wives don't usually like it when you go out with the guys."

"Don't see why not." Spike added. "They have their outings and they don't usually like to talk about all the details. So why tell them about everything. What happens on Guys-Night-Out, stays in Guys-Night-Out."

"Yeah... But they want to know everything about you since you share a life with them. And being that they care more about your personal safety, I can see why the would be so concerned with your drinking habits." Shining stated while ordering another cup of coffee. "Double espresso please."

"Well since you put it that way, I guess I could see why Cadance wouldn't want you to drink... but it still doesn't answer why you do it anyways." The young drake asked as he nudged the older brother of his caretaker.

"Well... there are a variety of reasons. I can name one off the bat." Longshot answered.

"Blueblood." Spike answered, knowing first hoof of the nuisance. His mind constantly ran filled with the sounds of all of his annoying banter. Not even he was oblivious to his constant stream of insults and him especially since he was of a different species.

"Winning." Shining interjected confirming that the upbringing of his name would drive one to drink.

"All sense has been made. Carry on with the drinks." Spike said in deadpan, causing the others to laugh in agreement.

"So Spike," Longshot asked. "Have you managed to see a mare with a creamy brown coat, long hazelnut hair tied to her right side and she has a cutie mark of a heart and a baby bottle down there in Ponyville?"

"Yeah. I saw her at the Summer Sun Bash before the ceremony."

"Is she still flirty and all?"

"Yeah. But she usually teases all of the stallions who danced with her on a 'look-no-touch' basis."

"Yup, that's her."

Shining's ears perked up as he started to have a bit of concern that his sister would be staying there for some time. "Hey Spike, one question."

"Ask away."

"You think that Twily will like Ponyville more than she does Canterlot? Like you know, to the point of staying there?"

Spike scratched his head as he thought about how to answer that question. "I don't know. I mean, she just got there. At least give her some time to think about it. And besides, you're getting married to Cadance soon enough. That means that your life would eventually take you someplace else aside from her. And being that she is a student to Princess Celestia, you should be more than prepared to see that she's willing to seek newer horizons."

"I know. But she's still my little sister. And now I grow worried thanks to the fact that she's an element bearer. I... I just want to make sure she's going to be okay."

"Sure, she's going to be okay." Spike reassured. "She hasn't been trained by the princess to be nothing more than a sitting duck."

"Okay. Just remember to take care of her when you get back."

Spike smiled with pride, sticking his chest out as he emphasized how important he was to his caretaker. "C'mon. If I wasn't around to write her schedules, it isn't like she would be in a mess right now. And plus she would know how to take into consideration that everypony is not some sort of walking checklist for her lessons. And plus I'm more than certain that she can handle things on her own. Besides, what could possibly go wrong?"

"There's a giant tree branch in the middle of my bedroom! And the book doesn't say anything about having a giant tree branch at your slumber party, or at least I haven't found that entry yet!"

Twilight frantically flips the pages of her Slumber-101 guide while Applejack and Rarity continued to argue in the distance.

"What'n tarnation are y'all doin' over there!?"

"Cleaning up this mess that somepony made! Who was that again!? Oh right, THAT'S YOU!!!"

Applejack furiously rolled her eyes and dipped into the greenery of the foreign object that managed to find it's guidance to the bedroom, thanks in part to her lassoing the large branch from off of a nearby tree in frustration of Rarity, who also took blame for wanting to repair the damages done to the tree. As she rose from the enormous green shrub, she found that Twilight was still reading her book for answers.

"We gotta do sumthin'!" She yelled as the rain from the storm outside started to fall into the room.

"Baking... BFF's... Brothers... There's nothing in her about branches!" Twilight answered to the farm pony, while still trying to find a solution in the book.

Applejack disregarded her statement and did all that she could to remove the branch from the room by herself. She offered to pull it out using a lasso, but found that it was far too heavy to move. She bucked it to try and break some of it off, but her efforts proved to be far too ineffective. She even jumped on top of it repeatedly in hopes of smashing it down to size, but the branch was far too strong to be crushed by her own weight. Finally giving up on her individual efforts, she finally gave up and swam through the branch to find Rarity still trying to stack some fallen books onto a bookshelf nearby.

"Rarity! For ponies sake, stop sweatin' small stuff an' help me get rid of this thing!"

Rarity gave her a nonchalant glance before continuing her task of moving the books. Even more furious, Applejack shouted once more to the pony on the other side of the room.

"Ah said hustle on over here an' help me!"

Rarity continued to pay no mind. Applejack started to grow even more furious as she finally found gave the fashionista a piece of her mind.

"...Ah'm sorry, alright?"

Rarity's head shot up in disbelief of what she had heard come from the farmer's mouth. "What was that?"

"Ah said Ah'm sorry! Ah should've listened to ya when ya noticed where this here branch would end up. Yer annoyin' attention to detail would'a saved us from this whole mess. But right now, y'all need to stop bein' so dang fussy pickin' up all the little things and help me move the one big thing'n here that actually matters!"

Rarity took some time to think about the sentiment of what the farm pony said to her. She felt almost as responsible for the mess due to her own stubbornness getting in the way of doing what really needed to be done.

"Please!" Applejack pleaded to her foalhood friend. "And... I'm sorry about-"

"But I'll get all icky!" Rarity stated with concern that her coat would get dirty, earning a frustrated groan from Applejack.

"Consarnit! What the... eh... ya..." Applejack took the time to reconfigure herself before she would lose the attention and sympathy of the fashionista. "Ah mean, yes, ickiness is often a side effect of hard work. But y'all need to get over it, on account Ah just can't fix this mess Ah made myself... Ah need your help."

Rarity took the time to think about the statement of her foalhood friend. It seemed that her statement did have some sort of merit. Being a pony in the fashion industry did mean that sometimes, being messy would ultimately prove to be fruitful to her efforts over a concern of being in a clean environment. After all, she called the messes she made 'organized chaos'. She drew her breath and pretended that she was combating the evils of last Fall's fashion line and stepped up to the task of helping out both Applejack and Twilight.

"...Let's do this."

With a draw of magic, Rarity transformed the branch into a series of small figurines on sticks, eliminating the mass of the object in general. Applejack readied herself to buck a small piece of the branch out of the window, but was stopped by a look of disapproval by Rarity. Realizing that bucking a small piece of wood would only prove to be of more harm than help, she lowered herself and resorted to a gentle grabbing of the branch and tossing it overboard, allowing the branch to fall safely to the ground below.

Finally closing the window, they stopped the rain from falling into the bedroom. Rarity, unfortunately, took notice of her current condition and whimpered in response of the muddied mess she had managed to become.

"I look awful."

Applejack's heart melted at her tone and the words that came from her as she remembered something about mud facials and found a bowl of zucchinis lying on the shelf. She walked over and grabbed the bowl, took two slices of the green vegetable and laid them over the eyes of the dirty seamstress.

"Better?"

Rarity giggled at her friend's antic and finally realized that it was nothing to stress herself out over. "Thanks."

The two embraced in a hug shortly after Rarity found where Applejack was standing. Meanwhile on the other side of the room, Twilight was still reading her book. As she looked up to see what was currently going on, she saw two figurines of leaves and wood placed gently before her.

"Oh, pretty! Where did these come from? They're not in the book either."

Author's Note

The first time I used a canon scene inside of the story. Let me know what I can do to improve these little scenes.
