The following morning Noteworthy prepared for Swettie Belle's arrival.

"Everything seems to be in order." Said Noteworthy.

Melody flew onto his back and tweeted happily.

"Im sure you would like her Melody." Said Noteworthy.

There was a knock at the door.

"Must be her." Thought Noteworthy.

Noteworthy opened the door. Standing outside was Sweetie Belle.

"Hey there." Said Noteworthy.

"Hi!"

"Come on in."

Sweetie belle walked in as Noteworthy closed the door behind her.

At Carousel Boutique, Rarity, Lyra, And Bon Bon set up for the speed dating.

Rarity sat at a table with a clock on it, Bon Bon stood by the door wearing sunglasses, and Lyra stood next to Rarity levitating a clipboard with her magic.

"Everything is set." Said Lyra. "Bonnie are they here?"

Bon Bon took a look through a nearby window. Outside several stallions waited in line at the boutique.

"Yep, the stallions are here."

"Lets begin then." Said Rarity. "Send in the first one."

Sweetie Belle sat at the table Drawing while Noteworthy sat on the opposite end, writing a song. Sweetie belle looked at Noteworthy and raised an eyebrow.

"Whatcha doing?" Asked Sweetie Belle.

"Writing a song." Replied Noteworthy.

"Could I sing it?"

Noteworthy chuckled.

"Its not that kind of song Sweetie Belle."

Sweetie belle Sighed.

"Do you have any songs you can sing?"

"I do." Said Noteworthy.

Noteworthy got up and gestured for Sweetie Belle to follow.

The white filly smiled and followed Noteworthy.

A brown stallion took a seat in front of Rarity.

"So what is your name?" Asked Rarity.

"Im sandy, sandy dunes." Said the Stallion.

"Interesting name."

"I work at a beach."

"So are you a lifeguard?" Asked Rarity.

"No, I clean the sand."

Sandy shook his head, causing sand to fly around the room. Rarity looked at him horrified.

"........ I don't think this is going to work out." Said Rarity.

Sandy sighed and left.

"Next." Said Rarity.

Noteworthy led Sweetie Belle into his music room.

"Wow." Said Sweetie Belle as she looked at the instruments.

She ran around the room, taking in the sights of the instruments.

"Theres so many!"

Noteworthy smiled.

"When your a songwriter you tend to have alot of instruments." Said Noteworthy.

Sweetie Belle took a flute out of its case and prepared to play it.

"Please don't play with that." Said Noteworthy.

Sweetie Belle stopped and put the instrument back.

"Sorry."

"Its ok, just be careful." Began Noteworthy. "Most of these cost alot of bits."

"Like that one?"

Sweetie Belle pointed at the saxaphone.

"That one was free." Said Noteworthy. "But its priceless to me."

A red stallion sat in front of Rarity.

"Thank you for coming, but im afraid im not too fond of monster truck drivers." Said Rarity.

"I understand." Said the Stallions.

He got up and left.

"At least he was a good sport about it." Said Lyra.

"Next."

Bon bon opened the door and a stallion with a green hat ran in, a stallion Rarity recognized.

"Hayseed?"

Hayseed took a seat at the desk.

"Howdy Rarity!" Began Hayseed. "Ah haven't you since Canterlot!"

"With good reason." Thought Rarity.

"So can I be your stallionfriend!?"

Rarity smiled nervously.

"Well...... Im.......- SECURITY!"

Bon bon picked up Hayseed and threw him out the door.

"BEAT IT!"

Bon bon slammed the door.

"Everything alright?" Asked Lyra.

Rarity groaned.

"I need a painkiller and an iced tea."

Noteworthy dug through a filing cabinet in his music room, taking out a piece of sheet music.

"This one has lyrics." Said Noteworthy.

Noteworthy passed the paper to Sweetie Belle.

"This looks pretty good." Said Sweetie Belle.

"Thanks."

Noteworthy took a triangle off of its stand and set it in front of Sweetie Belle.

"You can try this instrument."

Sweetie Belle squeed and picked it up. She began to play the triangle, getting a small chuckle out of Noteworthy.

"I take it you like music." Said Noteworthy.

"I guess." Replied Sweetie Belle.

Noteworthy looked at his saxophone and smiled.

Rarity sighed as another Stallion left.

"Is there anypony in this town whose good for me?" Muttered Rarity.

Bon Bon let the next pony in. He was a well built white stallion with a red mane.

"Is this the speed dating?"

Rarity grinned widely.

"Why yes it is, please take a seat."

The stallion sat down.

"I must say you look ravishing miss...."

"Rarity."

Rarity blushed lightly, but her mement was short lived.

"I KNOW YOUR IN THERE!!!!!"

A mare swung the door open, knocking Bon Bon away and angrily approached the Stallion.

"You........"

The stallion smiled nervously.

"Hi honey."

The mare slapped him.

"I leave for five minutes and you go HITTING ON ANOTHER MARE!!!!!!"

"Baby its not what it-"

The mare dragged the stallion away.

"Call me!" Shouted the Stallion.

The mare slammed the door as she left, leaving a disappointed and confused Rarity.

"The heck just happened?" Asked Lyra.

Bon Bon got up and adjusted her sunglasses.

"Next." Groaned Rarity.

Sweetie belle continued to play the triangle until there was a knock on the door.

"Who could that be?" Thought Noteworthy.

Noteworthy approached the front door and opened it. Standing outside was two fillies, and orange pegasus and a yellow earth pony.

"Is Sweetie Belle here?" Asked The pegasus.

Sweetie belle walked up to the door and smiled.

"Scootaloo? Applebloom? How did you find me?"

"Oh Rarity told us." Replied Scootaloo.

"She was kinda busy at the boutique." Said Applebloom. "Does she have a sale on stallions apparel today?"

"Don't think so." Said Sweetie Belle.

"Come on." Said Scootaloo. "Were finishing the go-kart."

Sweetie Belle looked at Noteworthy.

"Can I go with them?"

"I don't see why not." Said Noteworthy. "Just stay out of trouble."

Sweetie belle and her friends left in a hurry.

"Wonder what that filly meant with the Boutique." Thought Noteworthy. "You would think all the stallions would be at that speed dating thing."

The realization hit Noteworthy like a sack of bricks.

"Dear Celestia."

Noteworthy bolted out the door as fast as he could.

Rarity yawned.

"We have to be almost done." Said Rarity.

"I think so." Said Lyra.

"Send in the next one please."

Before Bon Bon could open the door, Noteworthy swung it open and stepped in. Rarity looked at him surprised.

"Noteworthy?"

"Rarity why are you speed dating?"

Rarity gulped.

"W-Wheres Sweetie Belle?"

"With her friends." Replied Noteworthy. "Please answer my question."

Rarity sighed.

"Lyra, Bon Bon..... Could you ask the remaining stallions to leave?" Asked Rarity.

The two mares stepped outside.

"Its just that..... My friends are all finding their special someponies..... And I'd like to find mine."

Noteworthy took a deep breath.

"This isn't the way to find your special somepony..." Said Noteworthy.

"I'd say, none of the stallions were my type."

Rarity chuckled.

"I should probably clean up." Said Rarity.

"Sounds like A good idea." Replied Noteworthy.

"See you later I guess." Said Rarity.

"See ya."

Noteworthy stepped out of the boutique.

Rarity sighed as she stirred her tea.

"I hate that Noteworthy had to see me like that." Thought Rarity. "Was I really that desperate?"

There was a knock at the door.

"Hm, who could that be?" Muttered Rarity.

Rarity answered the door. Outside stood her neighbor Caramel and his friend Lucky.

"Ah, Caramel good to see you." Greeted Rarity.

Rarity turned to look at Lucky.

"Lucky, why I haven't seen you in awhile."

"Always nice to see you." Replied Lucky.

"Were here to pick up a package for Applejack." Said Caramel.

"Oh yes, I assumed she would pick it up herself." Said Rarity. "Then again she does have a coltfriend now, so she has been occupied."

Rarity's happy face turned to one of annoyance.

"He is kind of stuck up though....." Mumbled Rarity.

"He is quite foul though." Thought Rarity.

Rarity stepped inside and the two stallions followed.

"Place hasn't changed a bit." Said Lucky.

"Not since you lived with Caramel." Replied Rarity.

Rarity picked up a large package with magic and levitated it in front of them.

"Must say I did a fine job with these." Said Rarity. "Also Applejack said that none of you are to view its contents."

Caramel put the package on his back while lucky tied it down. It was surprisingly light.

"See you at the Harvest Party tomorrow." Said Caramel.

"Maybe I'll see you tonight." Said Rarity. "Also say hello to Noteworthy for me."

The two stallions left the boutique, Rarity's eyes widened.

"Noteworthy? Why am I caring about Noteworthy like this now?" Thought Rarity. Rarity yawned.

"I need some rest."

Rarity walked upstairs
