Princess Rarity sat in her dungeon cell.

"Wont some pony save me!?" She called.

Then she heard the sound of hoofsteps heading towards her.

"Please don't let it be those awful jailers." Thought Rarity.

To her surprise and relief it was a different pony who arrived. He was a stallion her height clad completely in armor, A knight.

"Princess Rarity." Said the Knight. "I'm here to rescue you."

The Knight took out a set of keys and began to unlock the cell.

"What about my captors?" Asked Rarity.

"I have dealt with them."

The knight opened the cell.

"You are free now."

Rarity tackled the knight to the ground in a tight hug.

"Oh brave knight!" Said Rarity. "You have saved me!"

"It was my pleasure most beautiful maiden." Replied The knight.

Rarity reached to lift up the Knight's helmet, but his armored hoof pushed it away.

"Why do you remove my hoof?" Asked Rarity.

"It is not the time for you to see me princess." Replied The knight. "Right now you must- WAKE UP!!!!!!"

"What?"

Rarity's eyes shot open.

"A dream?" Muttered Rarity.

"Bout time ya woke up!" Said Voice.

Rarity turned and saw her Little sister Sweetie Belle standing next to the bed.

"Sweetie belle? What are you doing here?" Asked Rarity.

"Remember, mom and dad are going on a trip so im staying with you."

Rarity sighed.

"I forgot about that."

"Could you make some breakfast?" Asked Sweetie belle. "I haven't eaten."

Rarity felt her own stomach growl.

"Guess we both could use some food." Said Rarity.

Rarity got out of her bed.

"Come now sister, I'll make some toast."

"Oh boy!" Said Sweetie belle.

The two sisters walked down the stairs.

Noteworthy sat in his living room with a cup of coffee.

Two days have passed since he went to the Karaoke bar with Rarity.

"Wonder what I should do." Thought Noteworthy. "My client could be here any time now."

Noteworthy took a sip of his coffee.

"Caramel, Pokey, and Thunderlane are working.... Comet is probably chatting with his writer friend, and I don't even know where to find Soarin."

Noteworthy thought back to the karaoke bar.

"Rarity was a good singer...... Why am I thinking about this?"

Noteworthy took another sip of his coffee and sighed.

Sweetie belle and Rarity sat at the kitchen table as they finished their breakfast.

"Thanks sis." Said Sweetie belle.

Sweetie belle got out of her seat.

"Im going to play with the other crusaders. I'll be back later."

Sweetie belle walked out of the house, leaving Rarity by herself.

"How do I find that special pony....." Muttered Rarity. "The bar didn't work...... A bake sale?"

Rarity chuckled.

"Mother always said the fastest way to a stallion's heart was through his stomach. Maybe that wont work..... Too much baking."

Rarity put a hoof to her chin. She heard the sound of a door opening.

"Must be a customer." Thought Rarity.

She got up and walked into the boutique section of her home.

"Welcome to Caro-"

Rarity stopped when she saw who her guest was. Sapphire shores, the famous singer.

"S-sapphire?"

"Long time no see Rarity." Said Sapphire.

"Wh-what brings you here?" Asked Rarity. "Do you need another dress?"

"No but If I do then You will definitely be the pony I go to." Replied Sapphire. "I was in town to pick up a song I commissioned so I stopped by to check up on my go-to dressmaker."

Rarity raised an eyebrow.

"I thought You wrote all your songs."

"Normally I do." Said Sapphire. "But Ive been asked to perform for a charity down in Las Pegasus, and I wanted a new song for it. Problem was I have been distracted by my most recent concert tour."

"I see where you are getting at." Said Rarity.

Rarity paused for a moment.

"This may seem odd of me to ask.... , but do you know anything about finding a nice stallion?"

Sapphire shores smiled.

"Looking for a stallion are we?"

Rarity blushed lightly.

"Well one of my backup dancers got herself a coltfriend through one of those speed dating things." Said Sapphire. "You could try that."

"That might work."

Rarity smiled.

"Thank you for coming by." Said Rarity.

"Any time." Said Sapphire. "Catch you later."

Sapphire shores trotted out of the boutique.

"Speed dating." Thought Rarity. "Why didnt I think of it before! I just need some time to get it prepared..... And find somepony to watch Sweetie belle."

Noteworthy sat in his living room as Melody flew around the room, the song he had been writing was next to him.

"Client should be here pretty soon." Said Noteworthy.

Melody landed on Noteworthy's shoulder and started tweeting. There was a knock on the door.

Knock Knock.

Noteworthy got up an walked to the front door, Melody still on his shoulder. Slowly he opened the door, revealing Sapphire shores on the other side.

"Miss shores."

"Is my song ready?"

Noteworthy handed her the song and she looked it over.

"Hm...... Fits in with the charity and its Catchy."
Said Sapphire. "I like this."

"Thank you." Said Noteworthy.

"I have your payment right here." Said Sapphire.

Sapphire shores took out a small bag od bits and gave it to Noteworthy.

"This looks like more than we agreed on."

"Well I think you earned some extra bits with this song." Replied Sapphire. "Hope we do business again some time.

Sapphire shores walked away with her song as Noteworthy looked at his sack of bits.

"This is much more than our agreed payment." Said Noteworthy. "I could take a break from work for a week."

Melody happily tweeted.

"Yeah, I could use the break."

Noteworthy set the sack of bits on his coffee table and smiled.

"Definitely wouldn't be doing this good if I had been accepted into the Academy."

Rarity sat on her bed, sketching out designs for dresses while thinking to herself about her speed dating plan.

"I have most of the things I need..... But I still need somepony to help with the speed dating and another to watch Sweetie belle."

Rarity but a hoof to her chin.

"Of course!" Said Rarity. "Lyra and Bon bon owe me a couple favors, I could have them help me with The speed dating."

Rarity sighed.

"That still leaves Sweetie belle........" Thought Rarity.

She got up and looked out her window.

"Maybe Fluttershy could watch her......."

Rarity looked at the several ponies running about outside of the boutique.

"Bet most of them have special someponies." Thought Rarity.

The white mare walked downstairs into the kitchen.

"Think i'll get sone fresh air and Talk to Fluttershy." Said Rarity. "

Rarity grabbed a piece of paper from a nearby counter and picked up a pencil with magic. She began to write a note.

Sweetie belle,

Went out for a little bit. Don't know when I'll be home. Theres a sandwich in the refrigerator if you get hungry.

She set the note on the counter and walked into the Boutique.

"Hopefully I wont be gone too long."

She grabbed her saddlebag and walked out the front door.

Rarity approached Fluttershy's cottage and knocked on the door.

"Fluttershy are you here?"

The door slowly creaked open and Fluttershy stepped out.

"Hey Rarity." Said Fluttershy. "I wasn't expecting to see you today."

"I actually need to ask you a favor." Said Rarity. "Could you watch Sweetie belle in a couple days?"

"Oh...... Id love to....... But I cant."

Rarity was taken back by her response.

"You cant?"

"I promised Applejack I would help her with the animals that day..... Please don't be mad at me!"

"I understand Fluttershy." Said Rarity. "I'll find somepony else."

Fluttershy smiled.

"I have some tea brewing, if you want to join me."

"I would but I have to make a few more stops." Said Rarity. "See you later."

Rarity walked away from the cottage.

"Thats a bit of a setback." Thought Rarity. "But I should find Lyra and Bon Bon before It gets late."

Rarity walked towards the direction of Ponyville.

Noteworthy sat at his kitchen table as he finished his lunch, a hay and daisy sandwich. Then he looked at his clock.

"I got awhile before I meet the others at the pub." Said Noteworthy. "Think I'll head out for a stroll."

Noteworthy got up and walked outside.

"Speed dating?" Said Lyra.

Rarity was sitting in the living room of Lyra and Bon bon's house.

"Yes." Replied Rarity. "But I need yours and Bon bon's help."

"I think we can help." Said Bon bon. "How do you plan to spread the word about it?"

Rarity raised an eyebrow.

"I never really thought about it." Said Rarity. "Do you have any ideas?"

"I make flyers whenever I have a bake sale." Said Bon bon. "I could make some for speed dating if you can get me the paper."

"That could work." Said Rarity.

She got up from her seat.

"I'll bring some over Tomorrow." Said Rarity. "See you then."

Rarity left the house.

Noteworthy sat in the Ponyville park.

"It really is a nice day out." Thought Noteworthy.

Noteworthy noticed Rarity walking by.

"Hey Rarity." Said Noteworthy.

Rarity stopped and looked at Noteworthy.

"Hello Noteworthy."

She walked over to Noteworthy.

"How are you this fine day?" Asked Rarity.

"Im good." Replied Noteworthy.

A thought crossed Rarity's mind.

"Maybe Noteworthy could watch Sweetie belle."

Rarity cleared her throat.

"Noteworthy, could I ask you a favor?"

"What is it?" Asked Noteworthy.

"In a couple days I'm going to be busy with something and I was wondering if you could watch my little sister that day."

Noteworthy smiled.

"Sure thing."

Rarity smiled back.

"Thank you so much Noteworthy." Began Rarity.

"Is there anything else you need?" Asked Noteworthy.

Rarity thought it over for a second.

"Maybe it would be good if Noteworthy met Sweetie belle before then." Thought Rarity. "She must be back by now."

"Actually yes there is." Began Rarity. "I think you should meet my sister before you watch her."

"That makes sense." Said Noteworthy.

Noteworthy got up.

"Lead the way."

The two ponies walked towards Carousel Boutique.

They approached the boutique.

"You would get along well with her." Said Rarity. "She loves music."

"You don't say."

Rarity opened the door.

"Sweetie belle are you home?"

Rarity noticed sweetie belle sitting at a nearby table drawing, a stack of papers stood next to her.

"Oh hey sis!"

Rarity's eyes widened.

"Where did you get that paper?"

"Your office." Said Sweetie Belle cheerfully.

Rarity groaned.

"I needed that paper for something of the upmost importance." Said Rarity.

"Oh." Said Sweetie belle.

Sweetie belle turned her attention to Noteworthy.

"Whos this?" Asked Sweetie belle.

"This is Noteworthy." Said Rarity. "In a couple days he will be foal sitting you."

"Why?" Asked Sweetie belle.

"I'll tell you later." Replied Rarity. "Right now I need to find some new paper."

Noteworthy looked at the stack of papers.

"Looks like the same paper I use." Said Noteworthy. "I have a bunch of it back home."

Rarity looked at Noteworthy.

"Is it alright If I borrow some?" Asked Rarity.

"Sure, just stop by tomorrow when you get the chance."

Noteworthy looked at Rarity's clock.

"I should be getting home now." Said Noteworthy. "See you later."

Noteworthy walked outside.

"He seems nice." Said Sweetie belle.

"That he is." Added Rarity.

"You definitely picked a good Coltfriend."

Rarity's eye widened and her face turned red.

"S-sweetie belle! Noteworthy is not my Coltfriend! He is a good friend, that is all."

"Well its just........ Never mind."

Sweetie belle got up and walked away.

"Wonder what she was drawing." Thought Rarity.

She took a piece of paper from the stack and looked at it. On it was a drawing of her and Sweetie belle in Ponyville park.

"Shes getting better at drawing." Thought Rarity.

She yawned.

"I could use a nap."

Rarity laid onto her couch and closed her eyes.
