"Big Macintosh, Apple bloom annnd Granny Smith," Twilight swallowed the apple which was in her mouth, savoring its crispiness and sweetness. The purple mare complimented Applejack on the quality of the apple, sporting a genuine smile. "Why thank ya, Miss Twilight, would you like to stay for brunch?" Twilight nodded her head, and mentally prepared her stomach.

*********************

"I really ate too much pie. What's next Spike?" Twilight, who already knew what was next, still asked as she walked along side her baby dragon assistant, whom was holding the checklist. Spike looked around in all directions, scratching his head, he said, "There's supposed to be a pegasus pony named Firefly around here that's supposed to be clearing the sky."

"Firefly? Isn't it supposed to be Rainbow Das-" Before she could finish her sentence, a dash of blue rammed into her, knocking her into the nearest muddy pond. A muddy figure rose from the pond, opening it's eyes to reveal a pair of lavender eyes. The figure shook off the mud, showing a blue maned Pegasus. "Hey, snrrk- didn't see you there. You ah are covered in mud snrrk- hehehe, let me help you with that," With that, the pink Pegasus, cutie mark which was of two lblue lightning bolts, dashed to a nearby grey cloud, grabbed it and placed it over Twilight's head, bouncing on it to pour rainwater on her, which only made Twilight's mane even worse. From a muddy unkempt mane, she now had a soaking wet, unkempt mane.

"Heh heh heh... I know what will fix you up, my specialty, I call it the rainblue dry!" The giggling Pegasus circuled Twilight as quickly as she could, creating a blue tornado, which as the name suggested dried Twilight's wet mane, with an exception. It made Twilight's hair as bad as an Afro on a bad hair day. The pink Pegasus, who couldn't hold it in anymore, fell on the floor rolling in laughter, who was joined by baby dragon, Spike. In this whole process, Twilight bore a smile, she looked at herself and couldn't help falling on the floor laughing with the duo.

Wiping her laughter tears away, she stood up and said to Twilight,"Hey, you're a cool pony, y'know? Name's Firefly, what's your name?"

"Twilight Sparkle! And I see you haven't cleared the sky of clouds... Then how are you going to impress the Wonderbolts?" Twilight looked into the sky, with a sly smile on her face.

"How did you know? I've always wanted to be a Wonderbolt! And about the clouds, I could clear them in 10 seconds, no, 9 seconds flat!" Firefly said triumphantly. With that, Firely flew into the sky, going through clouds, kicking some and whacking some with her pink wings.

"Excellent!" Twilight clapped her hooves,"Excellent performance, Firefly! Spike, check weather off the list, now for decor." Spike, who was still awestruck by what he saw, stood there mouth agape. Twilight sighed, used her magic to lift Spike onto her back, before a magic glow enveloped the quill checking a box next to a cloud.

The dragon and the purple mare, left for Carousel boutique, bidding goodbye to Firefly.

***************

The inside of the building was adorned with intricate banners, which had gemstones and jewels, sparkling and complimenting the Silky cloth.

The view left Spike in awe,"Beautiful..." But his view was directed at the unicorn in front. The unicorn, with a discerning eye and a mane sporting two colours, blue and Magenta. Her mark, three diamonds matched the other sparkling jewels in the room, complimenting her pearl white skin.

"No, no, no... That's cute! But no..." The white mare levitating strips of cloth up to her face, and choosing them.

A strip of red sparkling cloth with a purple glow floated over to her.

"That's absolutely perfect! Thank you!" A blue glow enveloped the strip and was tied into a knot on a pole.

The white mare turned around, to face Twilight, who had a enthusiastic smile. The white mare screamed in horror and went backwards, claiming she had seen a monster. Twilight looked at her in confusion, not bothering to look at at Spike, who she knew was head over heels by now.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle! What's your name?" Twilight extended a hoof to her as a attempt to make friends.

The white mare clamed down and flipped her mane to the side,"Darling, you're definitely not sparkling with that mane! My name's Sparkler, and I know what will fix your horribly monsterly unkempt mane!"

Twilight remembered the painful sting of the strap when it hit her back, and how tight it was,"Miss Sparkler, no thank you, could you just fix up my mane?" Twilight said in the most polite way.

"Hmm... Alright. Fixing up your mane will be just fine! You wouldn't match most of the dresses I planned for you to try anyways. Come this way darling! You seem like the most fabulous pony I've ever met. And you are from?" Sparkler asked whilst sorting out hair products.

"Canterlot. I have come here to supervise the preparations."

"CAAANTERLOT? You must tell me more, darling! Tell me everything. We're are gonna be the. Best. Of. Friends!" Sparkler exclaimed as she hugged Twilight.

Twilight shrugged and just hugged her back.

***********

Spike sat on Twilight's back and stared into the azure blue sky, daydreaming about Sparkler. Twilight giggled and nudged him,"Hey lover boy, what's next?"

Spike snapped out of his daydream and looked annoyingly at Twilight, she responded by giggling. He cleared his throat and said out,"Next is perfume,"

Twilight tapped her chin with her hoof, thinking about Fluttershy and perfume. As she was thinking half-way, an aroma wafted into her nose, she closed her eyes and breathed deeply, her assistant also did the same.

"What's that aroma?" They said in unison.

As they walked closer, they could hear soft humming, birds chirping and strong smell of roses, daisies and marigolds. Closer, they could tell that the sounds and smells were coming from behind a shrub, they walked through it, paring the shrub, to see a yell earth pony, with her pink tail and mane matted with mud, swishing about as she played the dirt with her hooves, making holes in the ground to place seeds and watering seedlings, some rabbits were even helping her to make holes. On her flank, dotted with 3 pink tulips was her cutie mark.

Twilight went up to her, breathed in and said," Good Afternoon, my name is Twilight Sparkle."
