One Scale of A Night

First published

Gemstones, ranging from a lowly defective pearl to a seemingly perfect diamond along with everything else in between themselves, have a sense of value instantaneously foisted upon by those whom had came across their very existence, regardless of their very quantities or qualities thereof.

What had started out as a simple excavation for Spike turned into something wet and messy as he and Rarity found themselves caught in the middle of a rainstorm; of course, they have barely considered the possibility that another individual is seeking shelter at the Carousel Boutique: Sweetie Belle, now all grown up, makes a surprise visit to see her sister and catch up on old times.

Rather than finding Rarity at the first window of opportunity, she ends up catching Spike at an inopportune time, prompting her gossip about what had been seen; little does Sweetie Belle know, his big sister decides to take the time to verify the small claim that was made in the process not too long ago.
