Rarity spied some delicious treats (courtesy of Applejack, of course) and trotted over to try some. "Oh, these are absolutely marvelous, Applejack! Of course, I should know better than to expect any less from your work."

"It's for Gummy's second birthday, of course!" Rarity answered. "Didn't Pinkie Pie invite you?" Rarity gave Twilight a concerned look. She knew that Pinkie, while generally well-intentioned, was prone to faux pas, and the six of them did so often fail to include poor Spike in things.

It was a roundabout compliment, but Rarity took it gratefully. After all, Twilight Sparkle didn't have the best eye for style; she was trying to be nice. "Why, thank you! I made it specially for the party," Rarity confided. "I have had a lot of work to do, like I said, but when inspiration strikes, one almost has no choice, don't you think?" Whatever answer Twilight might have been about to give was interrupted when Spike burst through the door. Presently, he seemed to be entranced by Gummy's birthday cake. The party hadn't started; Rarity couldn't let Spike demolish the cake quite yet. "Oh, Spike~" Rarity called out. "How is my favorite dragon doing on this fine day?"

Thanks you guys.

"Oh, you cannot imagine how much work it's been!" Rarity exclaimed. "Of course, I'm always happy to have business - especially with someone so famous - but she really has been quite demanding. It's always 'tighter here, looser there, more frills, less frills'..." She trailed off. "I mean, make no mistake, she adores my work," Rarity said. "But she does so want everything done exactly the way she likes it. As I say, it's a lot of work. I almost didn't have time to make this!" She pointed at her hat and beamed at Twilight with anticipation. "Do you like it?"

Although slightly miffed at Twilight's indifference toward her latest creation, Rarity realized that Twilight felt a... very personal distress at the situation. "Sometimes what the colts want is a little forwardness, Twilight," said Rarity. "Perhaps you should tell this friend of yours -" she winked "- to try her luck. After all, she might be surprised at the results. Is that punch?" Rarity strode over to the bowl and poured herself a cup, allowing herself a secret smile. She hoped her casual reaction would inspire some confidence in her friend.

Rarity's smile betrayed her amusement toward her friend's difficulty with this seemingly simple social conundrum. "Twilight, dear, there's no point in hiding one's feelings," Rarity advised. "Things get complicated. Tell her to let him know how she feels!" She fiddled with her hat. It was obvious that she wanted Twilight to notice it. She had spent all of last night on it after all, and with a huge order to fill by the week-end.

A fantastically decorated hat poked through the door. Laden with feathers, sequins, and ribbons, it would almost be garish if not for the fine craftwork of the pony wearing it. As impeccably groomed as ever, Rarity swished into Sugarcube Corner. "Am I late?" she inquired. "Twilight! Lovely to see you. Has anypony else arrived?"

Just noticed the request for my link, and thought I'd use it as an excuse to fill my quota of 3 posts. My channel is here: http://www.youtube.com/user/skootties I have a few original character-based pieces (I've done Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, and Princess Luna so far), a bunch of piano reductions of songs in the series (along with sheet music, so you can play along), and a couple of other tidbits.

Thanks! I'm excited to begin. One more post!

About Myself: I live in Canada, but I'm originally from a faraway land. I've lived in many places. I love music! I'm a burgeoning composer. How I found Canterlot.com: A post on reddit.com How I became a fan of MLP:FiM: I noticed the hubbub last summer and decided to see what all the fuss was about. My favourite main cast pony/s: AppleJack,Fluttershy,Miss Rarity,Rainbow Dash,Twilight Sparkle,Pinkamina Diane Pie Hi, guys. I love to roleplay. I've been doing it ever since I discovered it about seven or eight years ago. I think I've always wanted to be a character, but never had the skills or motivation to be an actor. Anyway, that was just to say that I may be new to the site, but I'm in no way new to roleplaying, so no hand-holding needed! Like I mentioned in my "About Myself" section, I am learning to compose. I have some pony-related music up on YouTube, but I'm not sure what the etiquette here is about shameless self-plugs, so I won't divulge the link here. Anyway, thanks in advance for welcoming me into this community. I hope to have a fruitful and enjoyable time here.
