(Proofread by Smity91 on Fanfiction.net, and proofread and edited by deadpansnarker on FiMFiction.) Sassy Saddles knows she isn't the only pony who co-manages one of Rarity's boutiques, and she is quite content with keeping Canterlot Carousel running smoothly with or without Rarity around to help.

But when a conference for the latest and greatest up and coming fashion designers comes to Canterlot, Sassy is unexpectedly given the opportunity to meet another business partner of Rarity's, Coco Pommel, for only the second time to boot.

Coco has only ever left the comfort of Manehattan once, even after launching her own fashion career. And Sassy is a Canterlot pony through and through.

When Rarity leaves due to an unexpected fashion emergency, she decides to have Coco assist Sassy at Canterlot Carousel in the hopes of giving Coco more experience, and Sassy a chance to work with somepony besides her boss. But is Rarity making the right decision?
