Chapter 37: Ensemble Assemble
The next day...
Rarity was working at her very own store in Canterlot City, Carousel Boutique. A line of worldly made dresses line up the shop window as a display to the townsfolk. She was busy working on another shiny ensemble to go in line with her wardrobe of alternative clothing for the dorm life. Her working shedule coincideded with a grudge she was able to cancel with Applejack, whom she was okay with the idea that the fashionista had to do this. The sound of sewing machines at her desk, making careful precisions to her outfit that no one was able to interrupt her badly. Lola opened the door and caught all of the dresses lined against the store window, possibly a sign of formal getaway emergencies. The bunny caught the fashionista at her desk, occupying the sewing machine and waited until she was finished sewing her fabulous piece of art together. Rarity stood from her chair and placed her dress on the rack ready for expanding on. That was when she spotted her strongest bond.
"Nice dress...". T'was all the bunny wanted to begin.
"Oh...". The fashionista chuckled. "I was just finishing up an alternatre ensemble for our academy life. So, do you like the Carousel Boutique?".
"I don't like it, I love it. I was caught off guard by the fabulous dresses adorning the store display window. It's a really nice way to draw in your target demographic".
"Thanks. As bright as I may be with adding sparkling glitter to my collection of accountre, I have to be careful with how I handle my time. Class doesn't wait for anybody".
"We can all agree on how that will turn out if failure is key". Lola added.
"Anyway...". Rarity walked over to the dressing room. "Want to try anything on? We have clothes, shoes, accessories galore!".
"I wouldn't mind trying something on". The bunny walked over to the dressing room, Rarity pulling out a perfect outfit for her to try on. The bunny closed the curtain after getting given one, undressing while Rarity worked to make slight sdjustments to her shop display. She push aside the curtains, showing herself donning a red dress with sparkles and black boots.
"Oh my, you look lovely, darling!". Rarity turned around and spoke, the bunny also sporting a black fedora hat.
"I look beautiful in this!". Lola admired her look. "This nice hat goes well with the attire".
Rarity giggled.
"Oh, I'm sure you'll see what else I have in store".
"Yep, lemme change back!". Lola closed the curtains once more, apparently taking off her alternative clothing option and putting her signiture yellow tank top and purple skirt back on. She swapped the boots for her traditional light blue boots and came to walk over to the fashionista, whom was lining more mannequins to the store window.
"More money needs to be brought in to dress these lifeless mannequins to perffection, to moire standards! Without all of these mannequins bordering the window, no one will come to my shop".
"Mind if I help you, Rare?". Lola offered. "I am pretty good at organizing".
"You can start by arranging price tags on the clothing I have just sewed together. They're on the rack next to my desk".
The bunny walked over, eying the rack that her bond had ordered to assist.
"Where are the price tags?".
"They're all in the back room!".
"Got it!".
As Lola got to work on the price tags, Rarity got to work on the mannequin decoration, adorning them with unused clothing from the back room she held there. The bunny whipped out a marker and asked Rarity how much money before writing them down. As the two were engaged and the sun hid beneath the sky as the day drew to night. Almost complete progress had been their method of time. Rarity and Lola first noticed Canterlot City residents walking past the store and notified Lolam whom at this point as finished with the price tag labelling. Rarity, meanwhile was still decorating the mannequin displays with the choice of attire provided by the rack she brought across. The door opened, Lola and Rarity knew because the bell rang, Their first batch of customers of the day coming to find something to buy of their likings. Lola signalled herself to do ore, thus walking to the cashier desk to get ready. Rarity peeked behind the backdrop and smiled, her strongest and close friend helping someone out in a tough situation, the Black Friday weekend drawing closer she may have feared before Lola came along.
"I think she has got the touch I needed". Rarity screamed in delight, to herself.
