Chapter 1: Two Designers' Special Fashion Opportunity

At an amusement park full of rides, games, and attractions is a place called Equestria land. There are many different places to go where families and friends can have a good time. Of course, it's not open to the public just yet.

A female's voice happily announces, Experience the world like you've never seen it before, at the one, the only, Equestria Land!"

Coming out of the building is a parade float where people are dressed as white shapes: a circle two squares, and a triangle.

Just then, the same female voice shout in irritation, "Stop! Cut! Cut!"

The one who is shouting is a young woman. She has light yellow skin, a grayish crimson that goes down her hair to grayish magenta, with light gray streaks, light cornflower eyes, pink lips, and a small mole under her right eye. She is wearing a sleeveless white shirt with light purple lining with match ming puffy sleeves, blue color shorts with a black belt and a brown leaf on it, a brown with a light brown patterned headband with green leaves and light orange red berries, a brown necklace with a pink gem in the middle, a long light brown vest with dark fills fabric on the bottom, and black boots. Her name is Vignette Valencia.

"Why is everyone dressed like they're not dressed?!" Vignette asks.

A female designer walks up to her, and answers in a french accent, "Because you keep changing your mind about the costumes, Vignette Valencia."

"Do you know what it means to be in charge of public relations for this park? It's my job to make sure the world knows how amazing Equestria Land is gonna be. And in three weeks, when there's fifty thousand people here for opening day, the last thing they'll see before they leave at night will be this light parade. And, by extension, your costumes, which apparently do not exist as of this moment!" Vignette says with sass and sounding over confident of herself.

She takes pictures of herself with her phone, and says, "B.Y.B.B. Be yourself, but better. Do you even have a philosophy?"

"G.W.I.Q. Guess vhat. I qvit," the designer says, and leaves the park.

Vignette doesn't say a word, she takes a deep breath, and screams, "I need a stress salad!"

The employee dressed like a square leaves to fetch the salad. Vignette takes a seat on the table close by. The employee comes over with the salad and put pepper on it.

Vignette says to herself as she look at her phone, "Where am I gonna find a new costume designer for the light parade with only three weeks left?"

The employee is about to speak up, but Vignette covers her mouth, and says, "I'm not promoting you."

Disappointed the employee leaves the table.

Vignette turns to the table and begin to eat her salad.

She lets out a sigh, and says, "If only I could put a filter on real life to make everything the way I want it."

As she eats her salad, dark purple Equestrian Magic comes in direct contact with her cell phone. Changing it to dark purple, and the face on it is showing her teeth with a frown on it. Vignette is busy eating her salad that she doesn't notice it.

Feeling better after eating the salad, she puts the fork down, and happily says, "Only way to feel better is getting ten thousand likes with the perfect salad pic."

Vignette grabs her phone, and takes a perfect photo of her salad. But when she puts her phone down, she discovers that her salad is gone. Vignette looks around and wonder where her lunch could have gone. She slides the salad on her phone to see it change to different kinds of salad until she reaches to a fruit salad

"Hey, did somebody install a new app on my phone?" Vignette questions as she reaches her hand to see that nothing is there.

When she presses the salad on her phone, her phone has created a fruit salad right in front of her. She touches it to see that the salad is a hologram.

Vignette smiles and says, "Oh. 'Cause I like it!"

Suddenly, Vignette remembers, "That's right. I have to see the dignighs of the contestants for the parade float contest."

Vignette looks at her email to see the designs that are sent to her on her phone. There are some who are good and unique, but none catch her eyes. She gasp in surprise to see one of the designs.

She happily says, "They are perfect, and that girl for the model will be perfect as well. I think I just found my winners."

Back at Canterlot Boutique, Rarity and Adagio having some lunch after a long morning of working on clothes.

Rarity holds her phone, and asks, "Anything?"

"No. You?" Adagio answers.

"No," Rarity answers.

The others enter the boutique, and sit down with their lunch as well.

Applejack asks, "Anything?"

"No," Both girls reply.

Pinkie happily says, Somebody has unspilled beans at this table, and it's not me, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Aria Blaze, Sonata Dusk, Falling Star or Sun!"

Applejack says, "Me and Rarity sign up for weekend jobs at the new theme park. At the same time, she and Adagio sign up for the parade float contest."

"Equestria Land?! Wait does this mean you get to go there for free?!" Pinkie asks in surprise.

"Actually, they paid us to go there," Applejack confirms.

Pinkie happily squeals as she is having trouble finding the words.

We applied to work side by side as caramel apple girls," Applejack adds.

"Not only that, Rarity and I worked for weeks on our design, and Sun helped model one of our outfits," Adagio adds.

"Yes, not that I'm nervous, but Applejack, you're perfect for the job. And well my resume is less apple centric," Rarity says.

Applejack smiles, and says, "We'll be together, I got a good feeling."

Rarity quickly looks at her phone, and says, "No miss calls while we're talking about caramel apples."

"But still even if you may not get the job, I got a good feeling about the parade float contest," Adagio says.

Rarity nods her head, and happily asks, "Should we practice answering our phones and sounding calm."

Suddenly, the three hear their phones going off and they let out a scream.

"That was about as calm as Pinkie Pie on cake day," Sun remarks.

"Was it today?! Did I miss it?!" Pinkie screams in a panic, then continues to sip her drink.

Wire Wolf chuckles, and says, "No Pinkie, it's not cake day. At least, not that I know a day that celebrates deserts."

Rarity looks at the phone, and says, "A new email."

"It's from the park," Applejack adds.

"And from the contest," Adagio adds.

Then they say together, "You open yours first."

But say, "Not you open yours first."

Then they start laughing.

Applejack stops, and says, "Okay, okay same time. One… two…"

But Rarity presses the button on her phone, and says, "Too late I open mine first…" then lets out a scream.

But looking at the email, she says, "Oh, they said that I'm overqualified as a caramel apple girl."

"Overqualified?" Falling Star questions.

But Rarity surprisingly says, "They want me to be lead parade costume designer."

Everyone begin to get excited about it.

"You haven't even started and already got promoted," Twilight says.

"That's gotta be a record," Rainbow replies.

But Applejack says, "I didn't get the job, but I'm really happy for you Rarity."

"Oh… there must be a mixed-up darling," Rarity replies.

"Obviously the internet mailman gave you the wrong letter," Pinkie says.

Twilight about to speak, but Pinkie, "I know that is not how it works, but I'm trying to cheer you up."

"Technically, Rarity didn't get the job either since she's got a different job so they're probably abou to send you an email with your promotion," Twilight explains.

Applejack hears her phone beeping and gasp in reply.

She looks at the email, and says in disappointment, "Just at Stinky Bottom's discount Hat Emporium."

Rainbow looks at the email, and says with a smile, "40% off."

But seeing the glum look on Applejack, Rainbow says, "Sorry, not helping."

Then zooms away.

Then Rarity says, "Well, I'm not going to accept it without you Applejack."

But Applejack shockley says, "What?! You can not let this opportunity pass you by, Rarity. Think of all thoses vision boards, the late night sewing. This is your dream since… since kindergarten."

Rarity gulps, and clarifies, "Preschool, actually. But that's not the point, my mind is made up. We plan to spend our weekends together and that's what we're going to do. Also, Adagio and I are still waiting for the results."

"So what are the results," Applejack asks.

"I haven't open it yet," Adagio answers.

"Well then open it," Sonata urges.

Adagio opens the email, and screams in excitement.

Then shouts in excitement, "We won!"

Everyone cheer in excitement.

"Well, it looks like I'm going to the park anyway to work on the floor," Rarity says.

"Actually, I am. You are going to be the head designer for Equestrian Land,"Adagio clarifies.

Then Adagio says, "You're taking the job, and that's final."

Rarity smiles, and quickly says, "Okay if you insist."

Then happily screams, "I'm going to be a costume designer!"

Everyone congratulates the two girls who are going to be designing the float and the costumes for the park. Rarity and Adagio are very happy. Applejack does feel disappointed about not being accepted for the job.

Wire Wolf turns to Applejack, "It's alright Applejack, I'm sure there's something else we can do."

"Well, I guess I can help my family with the harvest. Since it's fall, its a perfect time for apple pickin' season. I finish with my summer job at my Aunt Orange's smoothie shop, and now on to my fall job at Sweet apple Acres," Applejack says.

"Do you want a hand?" Wire Wolf asks.

"That depends, are you strong enough to help carry the apples to the barn?" Applejack asks with a grin.

"We'll see about that," WireWolf says with a grin.

Suddenly, Rarity hears her phone beeping, and look to see a new email. Curious, Rarity opens it, and lets out a surprisingly gasp.

Then happily screams, "Girls, Wire Wolf, you are all not going to believe this!"

The gang become curious to hear this special news. The others except Sun decide to see it.

Applejack happily cheers, "Hooey! Sun, you just got to take a look at this!"

"It said that you have been chosen to be Equestria Land's Princess for Opening Day, and get to be riding your own float!" Pinkie cheers.

"Me?" Sun questions.

"They saw you model for some of our outfits along with our float designs, and they love it. They can you to in the parade!" Rarity happily says.

Then Adagio says, "You just gotta do it. Plus, being a princess is like totally you."

"But I'm already a princess, and I don't know. Remember the last time I was in a parade," Sun replies.

"What happen last time?" Sonata asks.

"Sun was carried away by a turkey balloon after saving a guy from being carried away. Luckily, as her friends were able to save her too," Rainbow says.

"And you were able to join the parade with the turkey mascot," Fluttershy adds.

Sonata laughs, "A turkey mascot! I wanna see!"

"Wow Sun. I never knew you were in a parade," Aria replies.

Then Applejack says, "Still, you should totally do it. And if they want, you can sing too."

"I don't know. Remember that I'm going with Princess Twilight and the others on a camping trip this saturday," Sun says.

"I think you'll have plenty of time to get to be in the parade and camping with Princess Twilight and the others. You should do it," Rainbow says.

"I agree," Fluttershy says.

"Come on girl," pinkie adds.

"You should give it a try," Twilight adds.

Wire Wolf shrugs in reply, "Why not?"

Sun think about it, "Well, let me think about it for a sec…"

Sun smiles, and says, "Alright, tell them I'm in."

The girls scream with glee and smiles on their faces. Sun begins to blush.
