My Little Pony: Fashion Friends
Chapter 1
Rarity in Canterlot
It was a typical day in Ponyville, just ponies doing their regular everyday activities. Over at Rarity's Boutique, Rarity was making a dress for one of her friends. She sat at sawing machine and was sewing the dress together. Sweetie Belle was sitting across from her, watching her sew, and she thought she was doing a great job on the dress so far.
As Sweetie Belle watched her sister sew, she noticed a picture frame sitting on the table, she had never noticed it before. She looked at the picture and it was a picture of Rarity and her friends. Sweetie Belle asked Rarity about the picture and Rarity said the picture was taken back at the time when she and her friends celebrated Twilight's birthday in Canterlot about a year ago. She also said that she had some conflicts during that time because at the same time she was hanging out with her friends, she was trying to also hang out with Canterlot high class ponies. Sweetie Belle was curious about this event and she wanted to hear all about it, Rarity said she would be happy to tell her all about it. She sat down with Sweetie Belle and said that this all started when she went to Canterlot for a visit and Twilight had asked Princess Celestia to accommodate her. Then Rarity began remembering everything that happened.
On that day, Rarity came to Canterlot Castle, Princess Celestia had a room prepared for her and Rarity couldn't stop thanking her for her kindness. Later that day, Rarity went to have tea over at an outside cafe somewhere in town. As she drank her tea, she talked to herself, she said that she may have been born in Ponyville, but she's a Canterlot pony at heart. She also said that she was really just here to pick up some fabrics for her boutique, but she felt like she had to do something nice for Twilight since she is the one who asked Princess Celestia to accommodate her while she is staying in Canterlot. She thought for a second, but then she had an idea, Twilight's birthday was this weekend and she thought she could make a dress for Twilight.
As she kept drinking her tea, 2 ponies approached her. They were a high class couple and they introduced themselves as Jet Set and Upper Crust. Upper Crust asked Rarity where she got her chapeau. She said it was just something she made herself, then a pony nearby who was cleaning tables saw Rarity and recognized her. The pony asked her if she remembered him and said they met in Ponyville about a month ago. Rarity said she remembered and asked the pony how he was doing. Then Jet Set said, "You're... from... Ponyville?" The cleaning pony said she was a fancy dressmaker from Ponyville and she probably made the hat she was wearing as well. Upper Crust said, "I thought it looked a little country." Jet Set said, "I told you it wasn't something you could get here in Canterlot, dear." Then Jet Set and Upper Crust left in a rude manner, Rarity felt disappointed, she always wanted to be like the high class ponies in Canterlot. Rarity took her hat off, she looked at it and said, "Looked a little country". "Not something you can get in Canterlot". I'll show you something worthy of Canterlot!"
Later that day, Rarity ran into the famous sophisticated unicorn named Fancy Pants. As Rarity apologized for bumping into him, she mentioned she was staying at Canterlot Castle. That caught Fancy Pants's attention, assuming she was a high class and sophisticated pony like him, Fancy Pants offered Rarity a VIP box at the Wonderbolts Derby. Rarity wasn't sure she should accept, Fancy Pants encouraged her to come, but Rarity was going to need some time to think about it.
Back in her room at the castle, Rarity was still deciding if she should go to the derby, if she does, she will develop social connections in Canterlot, but she would lose time to make Twilight's dress. She eventually decided to attend the derby. At the derby, Fancy Pants was pleased to see that Rarity came, but his guests seemed to ignore her until she said she was staying at Canterlot Castle.
During the Wonderbolts competition, Rarity made a bet on the Wonderbolt named Fleetfoot, and surprising, Fleetfoot won the competition. Fancy Pants asked her how she knew Fleetfoot would win, Rarity said her friend Rainbow Dash talks about her all the time. When Fancy Pants asked who Rainbow Dash was, Rarity lied and said she was the Wonderbolts trainer. The guests were convinced that Rarity was a very important pony, and that's when Rarity started to gain popularity in Canterlot.
