Chapter 3. A Frantic Favor for Rarity

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Passion woke up and let out a yawn.

"Good morning Ponyville."He said to himself, He got out of bed, went into his kitchen and fixed himself some breakfast. Once he was done, he put on his vest and glasses, opened his door and walked out. After closing the door, he looked down at his hooves and noticed a letter. He used magic to lift it off the ground and looked at it more closely.

"To Passion Note."He read. He opened the letter and read it silently. "Oh. Oh dear."He said with a hint of anxiety. Without another word, he bolted into town. He ran all the way to Carousel Boutique before stopping to catch his breath. "Wow, need to remember to stretch before running in the morning."He said gasping for air. He looked at the door of the boutique and saw a sign saying it was open.

So without wasting time, he opened the door and walked in. As he closed the door, he noticed Rarity working on a dress. He cleared his throat getting her attention. She stopped working on the dress and looked at him.

"Oh dear, Passion Note. You look a mess. Tell me what has happened."She instructed. He walked over to her and placed the letter on her sewing table. She picked it up and looked at it. "A letter, what is wrong with receiving a letter?"She asked not quite getting it yet.

Passion was visibly trembling and pointed his hoof at the letter in question. "Read it and then you will understand."He said taking a seat and using his hoof to wipe off his glasses. She looked at the letter once again and began to read it.

"Dear big brother, I will be visiting Ponyville to visit you and see how you are doing. I can't wait to hear all about the adventures you must have had. Are you excited? I bet you are. So am I. Love your little sister, Coda Epistle." She read out loud. She looked back at Passion and saw him trying to calm himself.

"Oh my, your little sister is visiting and you are worried. But why would that be?"She asked. She handed the letter back to him and continued working on her dress. He placed the letter in one of his vest's pockets and sighed.

"It's just, it's been several months since I moved here and well. I haven't exactly had as many adventures as she thinks. And I'm worried she'll find me boring."He started to explain. He then started pacing in the room. "I mean, yes there have been some things I've done that you would call an "adventure." But compared to what I've heard the townsfolk say you and the others have done. Mine don't really compare."He finished with his explanation.

"Passion darling, I am sure your little sister won't care about that. I think she would just want to hear about you've done."Rarity told him as she stopped her work to get up. She walked over to a chest and opened it. "I overheard you talking to Pinkie Pie and Autumn Skye yesterday and I found that story particularly wonderful. And I believe your sister would too."She said as she dug through it.

She pulled out some black fabric, walked back over to her sewing machine and placed the fabric under the machine. "Now, while you decide on what adventurous story to tell her. I shall make you a new suit, so that you may look presentable while you do so."She said before turning on the machine.

"Thank you."He said with a smile. He then started thinking. "Huh, you know that kind of reminds me of what happened when I first visited you."He added. He thought back to the day, it was the day after his welcome party and he was just leaving his home.

He had noticed a hole in his vest and was worried. Seeing as it was the only vest he owned and he didn't have the Bits to buy a new one. "It must have happened during the party and I didn't even realize it. What should I do?"He asked. He then remembered that one of Pinkie's friends owned her own boutique and that maybe she could fix it up for him. So he took off for it.

Once he arrived, he noticed the door was open and he walked in. He knocked on the wall and looked around. "Um, Miss Rarity? Are you here?"He asked. He heard noises coming from upstairs and went to investigate. As he drew nearer to the origin of the noises, he stopped. It was a door labeled Fabric Room.

He knocked on the door, waited a few minutes and walked in. He saw nothing that looked out of place. That was until he looked over by the window and saw Rarity adjusting a mannequin. He cleared his throat and she looked at him. He waved and she stopped what she was doing. "Is there a problem?"He asked.

"Yes, I've run out of important fabric that is essential for a client's order and I haven't the time to go buy more."She explained. She walked over to a closet, opened it and took out some swatches of fabric, then walked back over to the mannequin and tried to take some measurements.

"I can go get the fabric if you need me to."He offered. She stopped again, walked over to him. She looked at him for a few minutes before placing some Bits in one of the pockets of his vest and placing a note in another pocket. She walked back over to the mannequin yet again and he sighed.

He quickly left the boutique and wandered towards the market. He looked around for a stall selling fabric and after several minutes of looking, gave up. "This isn't good. I need to get her fabric for her, but I can't find anyone selling that."He said to himself as he was about ready to go back. He then stopped and started pondering.

"If I can't find the fabric, I could use magic to make some. Then again, I am not so good at magic and I don't even know if there is a spell for that. I could ask Rarity where she got the fabric and go buy it there. But what if it's far away and I don't get back in time."He said to himself.

He pulled out the note and looked at it. "This is the fabric she needs."He said. After looking at the note again, he gasped. "Wait. this fabric. Isn't this."He started before cutting himself off. He ran back to his home, entered his bedroom, opened his closet and looked through it. He grabbed something, used his magic to carry it and ran back to Carousel Boutique and back to where Rarity was.

She looked at him and placed the item on the floor in front of her. "What is this? Some sort of suit by the looks of it."She said a tad confused. Passion smiled and placed the note she had given to him next to the suit. A faint smiled appeared and she grabbed the suit. "This is the exact type of fabric I needed. How?"She asked.

"It was my father's. He must have packed it in my trunk before I moved here without my knowing and I wasn't going to actually wear it anyway. But I did remember him telling me about this fabric that it was made of and I knew what to do."He explained. "Honestly, I don't know why it didn't dawn on me sooner. But you can use the suit to make more of the fabric and complete your order now."He said.

Rarity gave a nod and went over to a pair of scissors. "Oh thank you Passion Note, thank you. Now to get to work. And once I am done, I'll make repair your vest for you."She said graciously. She started snipping at the suit and Passion looked at his vest.

"Oh, I didn't even tell you about my vest needing a repair, did I?"He asked. She pointed to the hole in his vest and smiled. "But I guess, I didn't need to. Thank you Rarity."He said with a sigh of relief.

Passion heard the sound of a machine stop and was brought back to the present. "Hmm, not sure that is quite the adventure my little sister would like to hear."He said out loud. Rarity looked at him and handed him the newly finished suit. He took it, walked over to the mirror and held it over his body to see.

"I can't decide for you. But I think that one would do for her. You helped me when I needed it most. She would be proud of that. I am sure of it."She said as she placed a bowtie on the front. He placed the suit on his back and handed her some Bits.

"I agree. Now to go get my home ready for her visit."He said as he walked over to the door and opened it. He smiled and walked out, closing the door behind him.

Rarity smiled herself. "I know all too well how it feels to want to impress your sibling. You'll do wonderfully."
