My Little Pony: Love is Magic

"Oh! Who could that possibly be? My hooves are already full!" Rarity complained, tossing the dresses she was holding onto her love seat. She cantered to the phone, giving it a death stare before answering it.

"What do want?" She grumbled, levitating the phone to her ear using her magic. She was stunned to hear who was on the other line.

"I say," He muttered, offended by her lack of politeness, "Is that REALLY how you greet an old friend, Miss. Rarity?"

"Fancy Pants!?" Rarity squealed, her magical grip on the phone dissolving. It clattered to the floor loudly. "I am so sorry," She apologized, lifting the phone frantically back to her ear.

"For dropping the phone or greeting me without your usual grace?" He said smugly. She could practically hear him grinning on the other line.

"Both!" She giggled, her cheeks reddening. She was suddenly glad he couldn't see her. She was a mess, her hair was chaotic, her makeup was smudged, and her coat was stained. This was all due to the sudden amount of orders at her shop. Each customer brought a deadline with their request.

"Well, Miss. Rarity, you are one hundred percent forgiven." He trilled. Rarity sighed silently, at ease that he wasn't cross with her. After all, she had been quite rude, and she couldn't even begin to imagine the terrible noise the phone made when it fell on the other line.

"Anyhow," He pressed on, clearing his throat, "As always, I called for a specific reason. I need ten dresses made by Monday."

Rarity gasped. "By Monday!? But it's Friday!" She squeaked, biting her lip. The last thing she needed was to fail one of his requests and ruin their friendship.

"Well," He said, sounding quite confused, "That shouldn't be a problem, should it? After all, you do have an assistant, don't you?"

Just at that moment, Spike walked into the boutique. "Hi Rarity!" He smiled like he always did when Rarity was around.

Rarity smiled. "Why yes, I do have an assistant. And, you know what? He's right here!" Rarity chirped, emitting a nervous giggle.

Hoping Spike would take the hint, she passed him the phone. "Spike, why don't you say hello to Mr. Fancy Pants?" She said through gritted teeth.

Spike looked puzzled, but went along with it. "Uh, hi, Fancy Pants." He stuttered, his sentence ending like a question. Rarity glared at him, using her hoof to pretend to slit her neck.

Please be going well... Please be going well... Please be going well! Rarity thought to herself upon hearing the racket on the other line.

"Uh, okay? Bye..." Spike said, sounding quite monotone. He handed the phone to Rarity. "Um, why-"

"What did he say!?" Rarity screamed as soon as the phone was passed to her. She dropped it from her hooves as soon as it was given to her.

"He started yelling at some pony in the background about vanilla on the top and chocolate on the bottom, and then told me he had to go." Spike explained.

"Sweet Celestia..." Rarity mumbled in relief.

"What was that about?" Spike asked, recoiling away from her ever so slightly. It was odd, normally it would be Rarity performing that action to Spike.

"Well, new assistant," She grinned evilly, "You will find out."
