My little pony: the Shadow veil saga
Chapter 16 Rarity's shop
Previous ChapterBefore the sun rose the next morning, Shadow veil was up and on his way to Rarity's boutique, wanting to get his community service for the day done and over with as soon as possible so he may continue with his work and practice. The lunar eclipse celebration was at the end of the week, so he only had four more days to prepare and finalize his own... personal preparations.
He had woken up before Twilight could awake from her slumber, and left a note for them at the table, instructing her of Envy's day off, and how he had to make a few trips for some materials after his community service, before he retired for he night.
As Shadow veil began his walk to the edge of town where the carousel boutique was located, he caught sight of three familiar fillies who were all huddled together, looking at something. Shadow veil would have kept walking, but the sound of very shuttle sniffles reached his ear.
"It's ok scootaloo" Apple bloom's tone was trying to sound gentle and comforting.
"Maybe Applejack or Big Mac could fix it!" Sweetybell attempted to sound optimistic.
"Yah, or maybe Twilight knows a spell that could help" Apple bloom added.
"Yah...." Scootaloo's voice was low and sad.
Shadow veil quietly walked over to the three fillies, and saw a teary-eyed Scootaloo Looking down at a scooter that had snapped in half, her friends beside her, trying their best to be supportive.
"What happened?" Shadow veil asked, but his sudden appearance shocked the three for a moment. But remembering yesterday, and how he saved them, they relaxed a bit.
"Well..." Scootaloo began to explain, but had to fight back some tears.
"We wer' trying to get our cutie marks for daredevil tricks as well as dare devil trick judgin'" Apple bloom began to explain.
"When Scootaloo hit a bump, and her scooter snapped in half" Sweetie bell finished, her tone dropped from her earlier optimism.
Shadow veil looked down at the teary eyed little Pegasus, and felt bad. But sometimes life throws you foul balls. He was about to just walk away when he saw something written on the scooter:
"Sky's the limits kid, Rainbow dash"
From what he had viewed of the small filly, she really idolized rainbow dash, like... Like a sister... And a hero...
Shadow veil then used his magic to summon his medicine bag. The girls watched curiously, wondering if he was going to use a potion or something to fix it. He pulled out a small vile, drank it, then placed it back in its resting place. He then used his magic to extract a foot long rod that was part of the medicine bag. Using magic to levitate the scooter, he then brining the two together, a flash of green blinded the cutie mark crusaders.
Once the light cleared, Shadow veil was gone, but the scooter stood there, looking well polished, and good as new! There wasn't even a single mark or indication that it had ever been broken!
Scootaloo hopped on it, and discovered a small note. She and her friends read it out loud together :
"Tell no one I helped you,and ride hard, it should not snap again."
The three fillies didn't know what to make of it, but Scootaloo felt too happy to care much. She speed off before her two friends could discuss the meaning behind the note.
As they raced off, the dark unicorn watched from the shadows as the three young friends raced off to their next adventure. He smiled slightly, feeling like he did the right thing. But as fast as the feeling appeared, it was overcome by a since of duty. Shadow veil turned and began his journey again for Rarity's boutique.
A few moments after leaving the crusader's behind, Shadow veil appeared infront of Rarity's door step, ready to work. The sun was barley up, and he was still a few hours early, but he was hoping he could get an early start, and possibly finish early as well.
He knocked three times, but by the end of the third knock, Rarity threw the door open, grabbed Shadow veil, and pulled him in to the carousel boutique.
"Thank Celestia you are early!" She exclaimed "I have a lot to do, and the sooner we get to work the better!"
Shadow veil looked around at the mess that lied before him, one he did not expect, and let out a huge sigh. "Well, let's get started..."
