Chapter 1: Payday

"Ye-e-ep!" sang Rarity one warm September afternoon, as knelt on a chair to make out her Christmas list. She had enjoyed a good day selling designs, and she looked forward to working on her list.

"Ye-e-ep!" she sang again.

"Thank goodness today is payday," remarked Rarity's mom as she opened the refridgerator to see what she could find for supper.

"Ye-e-ep!" sang Rarity, as she printed miniature poodle or gerbil on her list with purple pen.

"What's all this yeeping about?' asked Rarity's mom.

"I'm making a joyful noise besides 'Hooray' or 'Wow'," Rarity explained.

"Yeep is fine if that's the way you feel about it," reassured Rarity's mom.

Rarity printed iPhone on her list.

"Your dad lost his job," started Rarity's mom.

Rarity just rolled her eyes. She didn't know if he was fired or if he was retired.

"Maybe I will still get those treats I wanted," predicted Rarity.

She then picked up a perfume entitled Girlfriend by Justin Bieber. Unfortunately, it was too fruity, so she put it off with a wet towel.

Rarity studied her crayons, chose a pinky red one and printed one more item on her Christmas list: Bath and Body Works: Vanilla Bean Noel lotion.

Rarity then put her christmas list in the garage, and went back to reading Down the Rabbit Hole.
