My Little Pony: Fashion Friends
Chapter 3
A Touch of Ponyville
Twilight and her friends started partying in the Canterlot Castle ballroom, celebrating Twilight's birthday. Rarity went outside to join the ponies at the Canterlot garden party, Fancy Pants, Upper Crust and Jet Set were happy to see that she made it. A few minutes later, Rarity made an excuse to leave for a second and she came back into the ballroom to be at Twilight's party. Neo was singing heavy metal songs for the party and Twilight and her friends were dancing along to the music, even though it's not usually the kind of music you would hear at a birthday party.
During both parties, Rarity would stay for a few minutes, then make an excuse to leave for a second and she would go to the party and do the same thing. Eventually it became too much for her, until she came back to Twilight's party holding a croquet mallet in her mouth. At first Rarity tried to act like it wasn't there, but it didn't work, that's when Twilight knew that Rarity had been going to the garden party.
Twilight seemed upset at first, but right when Rarity tried to explain, Twilight assumed that Rarity was just mingling with the high class ponies to promote her boutique for the upcoming Grand Galloping Gala. Rarity played it off like that's what she had been doing, but she didn't want to seem like she was being rude. Twilight smiled and said, "Oh, well, you didn't have to do that. You should totally go over there and mingle!" Rarity felt so happy that Twilight was allowing her to go attend the garden party, but right when she was about to go out there, Rainbow Dash stopped her and said, "Hey, wait up! We're your friends! I'm sure they won't mind if we check out the party too! C'mon, you guys! Let's show them how to party Ponyville style!" Rarity felt uneasy and she said to herself, "Oh no."
And so Neo and the ponies went outside to the garden party. Neo began singing a heavy metal song around the high class ponies, (Mean, Green, Killing Machine" by Overkill). Pinkie Pie blew off her party cannon and the mane 6 just danced like they do in Ponyville, all except Rarity were dancing.
While Neo sang and danced to his song like a Punk Rocker, Pinkie Pie ate lots of cake and other sweets, leaving chocolate all over her face, Applejack played around in mud, Fluttershy checked out some birds out in the garden, Rainbow Dash just showed off her Ponyville style dancing moves to high class ponies, but Twilight just danced to Neo's music. The high class ponies seemed very annoyed by the behavior of the ponies and the human that were at the garden party.
Fancy Pants went up to Twilight and said, "Excuse me, might I ask where you got your ensemble?" Twilight said, "Why, yes! Yes, you may. A very, very close friend of mine from Ponyville made it for me." Rarity got really nervous, Twilight was about to tell Fancy Pants that she was from Ponyville. Fancy Pants said, "And what is your friend's name?" Rarity went over to him and said, "Fancy Pants! Come with me! I'd like to show you this, er, thing that's over there. On the other side of the room." Fancy Pants said, "In a moment, my dear. This lovely filly from Ponyville was just about to tell me who made her charming dress." Rarity said, "That dress? Oh come now, who cares, it's just a plain old–" Twilight cut her off and said, "Oh, don't be so modest! This dress you made is beautiful!" The high class ponies gasped, they couldn't believe what they just heard, Twilight said, "We all think so."
Twilight and her friends smiled at Rarity and Neo smoked a cigarette. Fancy Pants looked at Rarity and said, "You know these ponies and this human?" The high class ponies chatted to each other, Rarity looked back and forth at her friends and the high class ponies, Twilight made an uneasy look at her, was Rarity going to tell them that she didn't know who these ponies were? Then Rarity looked at the high class ponies and said, "Yes. Yes, I do know them. They may not be as sophisticated as some of you Canterlot ponies, but they are my best friends, especially my human friend. And they are without a doubt the most important ponies I know, and that goes for the human too."
Jet Set and Upper Crust laughed, Jet Set said, "Important ponies? These ruffians, and that human?" Upper Crust said, "Don't make me laugh." Neo puffed on his cigarette and said, "Bitch." Luckily she didn't hear him, she and Jet Set kept laughing, then Fancy Pants smiled and said, "I, for one, find them charmingly rustic."
The mane 6 and Neo gasped along with the high class ponies, Fancy Pants, a sophisticated pony actually just approved of the mane 6 and Neo as a class. Then he said, "And I think the dress you made for your friend is lovely. I dare say every mare in Canterlot will be wanting one." Feeling they had to agree with him, Jet Set and Upper Crust said they would be wanting a dress like Twilight's, then Fancy Pants said, " Er, yes, now then. How about you introduce me to your friends?" Rarity said, "With pleasure."
Then Rarity introduced Fancy Pants to her friends, and when he was introduced to Neo, he actually complimented him on his clothes and makeup. Fancy Pants also asked Neo to perform another one of those songs he was playing a while ago, Neo couldn't believe a high class pony actually approved the idea of heavy metal music. So Neo performed another heavy metal song just for Fancy Pants and the other high class ponies watched him as well ("Dissonance" by Hatebreed). Neo also did his usual dance moves to the song, and after the song was over, the high class ponies actually said they were impressed by his talents.
Later, Rarity told Princess Celestia that she learned a very important lesson, she learned that no matter where you go in life, you should never forget that you are the product of your home and your friends. And that is something always to be proud of, no matter what. Princess Celestia thought that was a very valuable lesson.
That was the end of Rarity's story about the picture that Sweetie Belle asked about, Sweetie Belle loved the story and she thought that was a very important lesson to be learned. Then she and Rarity looked at the picture of her and her friends at the Canterlot garden party and how wonderful it is to have friends like them and how important friendship is to them.
