The usual, boring morning at the Carousel Boutique gets a little more interesting once Rarity gets a very familiar visitor.

This is a story loosely inspired by the picture found at the source. I mainly wanted to write this because: one, I really like the picture this is based on. Two, something about this pair really grabs my attention. And three, I wanted to practice a little bit and get back into the swing of things.

Now I'd like to take the time to thank Discrete Turtle. Your art managed to drag me out of a nine month block. In addition, while I was writing this story out, I developed new ideas for other stories that I might potentially expand upon in the near future. So once again DT, if ya ever see this, thank you very much.

To top it all off, I'd like to thank the many proofreaders of this story, which include Lex, Menelven, Twinkletail (who has an account here at http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Twinkletail ), and RDashie/Flitter. (You all know who you are! :P)

Anyways, happy reading!
