Dale stood outside of a tall building that was decorated in with pink and purple.

"This must be the place," He said aloud. Dale had been walking around town for a bit, trying to figure out a clothing shop that could fix the damages to his shirt and jacket. It didn't take long for a pony to direct him to this area and find the "Carousel Boutique" it's said to be the best clothing store in all of Ponyville. Dale had some extra "Bits" as they were called, so he wanted to spoil himself a bit and make sure his clothing would be higher quality than it started. Carousel Boutique definitely stood out amongst the cone-shaped tents in this part of town, it was a good idea to grab someones attention to get them to buy something. Dale thought that was probably why Sugarcube Corner looks the way it does as well.

Dale approached the door and knocked three times. Even though this was a business, he felt the need to knock since it looked like it was also someones home. After a few seconds of waiting, the door opened up. Dale was expecting a mare to open the door but was instead greeted by a small filly with a white coat. The filly came to about the top of Dale's kneecap, her main and tale were neatly curled at the end. The thing Dale noticed about the filly was that there was no picture on her flank like the older ponies had, he didn't really know what it meant though. The little filly also had a tiny unicorn horn sticking out of her forehead.

"Uh, hi. I'm looking for a place that can fix up my clothes, some of the ponies pointed me here and I was wondering if I could speak to the owner of this establishment?" Dale asked trying to sound professional, for all he knew this little filly could be the owner. The filly looked at Dale's ripped shirt for a second before turning around and yelling into the house.

"Rarity! That human thing is at the door for you!" The filly squeaked. "You can come inside and wait for her," The filly's voice was high pitched, even for a female. The filly then trotted passed Dale, leaving the door open for him. Dale walked inside the house to be greeted by a room that was not only a fitting room with mirrors surrounding the main platform but also had the same colour scheme as the outside of the building. The manakins were in the shape of horses, there were many makeup stations as well as pink drapes. Dale knew without a single doubt in his mind that this place was primarily a female clothing store. Dale just hoped that the business owner could at least patch up his clothes for a relatively cheap price, he remembered how much the spa would cost his mother back on Earth and didn't feel like getting scammed out of his money too quickly.

"Hello?" Dale called out while he was walking around the bottom floor. He didn't feel like snooping around too much since this is someone's house as well.

"I'll be down in just one minute, Matthew!" A voice called from upstairs. The mare definitely had an accent to her voice, an elegant one.

"Actually, I'm not him. He's at Fluttershy's house..." Dale didn't want to mention why Matt was there because Fluttershy probably needed time to herself after what happened to Harry.

The mare came trotting down the staircase elegantly. She had a white coat just like the filly, her mane and tail were neatly curled and also a dark shade of purple. The unicorn had a picture of shimmering diamonds on her flank. Dale was surprised at how well she took care of herself considering she was a horse. The unicorn looked shocked when she saw Dale from the stairs, so shocked in fact that she let out a gasp.

"Oh my goodness what happened to your close, dear?" The mare's strong British accent was soothing. The mare trotted around Dale, looking at his clothes from every angle. She let out grunts of disapproval every time she found something she didn't like. The mare looked at his arm brace and raised her eyebrow, "Oh, so you have one of those strange accessories too? Is it a trend at Earth?" she believed that Earth was located somewhere in this world and not from another reality.

"It's a long story..." Dale crossed his arms over his chest. "I was informed that you could fix up my clothes for a fee Miss..." Dale never learned this mare's name so he was trying to goat her into telling him.

"My apologies! My name is Rarity. I am Ponyvilles expert fashionista," Rarity tilted her head up and used one of her hooves to show off her mane while wearing a smug grin. Rarity took pride in what she did for a living as well as how she looked to others. Dale assumed that's why the filly that left the house also had a lot of care put into her looks. "So you're the other human that was supposed to be at Pinkie Pies party. I didn't see you there, so I am sorry that I didn't catch your name."

"Don't worry about it, I was only there for a few minutes. My name's Dale by the way. If you're not busy, I was wondering if you could help fix up my clothes? I'm willing to pay."

"Of course, darling. There would be nothing else I'd love to do more. May you please remove the clothes that you wish to be repaired," Rarity says trying to secure a sale, Dale caught onto the tactic immediately. He didn't have any other option to get his clothes fixed so he just nodded his head. Dale's arm brace beeps before a screen appears in front of him

Current Equipment

(In order to have your equipment to be repaired, you must unequip them and hand them over to Rarity. Repairing and purchasing equipment will not only cost a fee, but it will also require you to wait a certain amount of time for the process to be finished. It is recommended for you to have multiple pieces of equipment on you at all times so you do not need to waste. Different pieces of equipment will have resistances and weaknesses to different Elements, they will also offer certain bonuses depending on the equipment.)

It slightly annoyed Dale that he couldn't just take off his clothes for whatever reason, instead, he had to unequip them. Also, he needed to wait for it to be fixed even though everything else in this world has been functioning instantaneously. It felt like a total pace breaker to him, but rules are rules. Dale sighed as he tapped the button on his arm brace that said "Unequipped" suddenly, Dale's clothes disappeared off of his body in a flash of light, leaving him in his boxers. His clothes are neatly folded in his hands, but his arm brace is still attached on his left arm. Dale almost turned as red as a tomato when he realized what just happened, Rarity seemed to not care; probably because she's used to seeing mares and stallions almost naked all the time. Dale, however, was about to die eternally, he has never been this exposed to a woman before, horse or not.

"How did you get out of your clothes so quickly and why are you still wearing that thing on your forehoof?" Rarity asked not knowing the proper term for Dale's arm.

"Y-you know. Just a human thing," Dale was too flustered to think of any response other than that.

"You may take a seat if you wish, it'll be done in just a moment," Rarity trots to her workstation while her horn begins to glow. Dale's clothing is covered in a light blue glow and is slowly lifted out of his hands. He began to feel quite envious of the unicorn's magic he's been seeing all over town, it's a lot more practical than being able to shoot a lightning bolt out of your hand.

"Okay," Dale said as he waddled over to the makeup chair and sat uncomfortably on it. It was a little small for someone his stature, obviously, but he managed. Rarity used her magic to levitate a pair of bright red glasses and place them on her head. Her magic then wrapped around a needle and thread as she began to get to work on the shirt first.

"So Dale, how well do you know Matthew? I assume you two know each other because what are the odds of two of the same species arriving in Ponyville at the same time." Rarity sticks her tongue out of the side of her mouth as she begins to thread the needle.

"Yeah, the odds of that seem very low..." Dale says a little annoyed, it still pains him that he ended up in My Little Pony of all things, "Honestly, I don't really know him that well, we just met last night. It's just a coincidence that we found each other here." Dale wasn't sure how much Matt told the ponies about their powers and RPG mechanics, so he decided to dance around the subject.

"Well if you ask me, Matthew seems like a really nice 'Man' as he would say," Rarity says as she starts to patch up the smaller holes, "What brings you to Ponyville if you don't mind me asking?"

"I'm just passing through. I lost something and I thought that I could get some help finding it, but I was wrong," Dale was vague with his response, "I've never been here before, so I have no idea what this place has in store. It's really different than Earth to put it lightly."

Rarity's ear perked up, "Hmm... Why don't you go see Twilight Sparkle at the Ponyville library?

"Twilight Sparkle?" Dale had to make sure he heard that right, out of all the names he's heard so far this one is now his new 'worst name' he's heard with Pinkie Pie being a close second.

"Yes! She and I go way back, she's the smartest pony I've ever met. If there's somepony who can help you with what you want to know it's going to be her." Rarity clopped her hooves together in delight.

Dale thought about it for a second. He had no other leads to go off of, and if she's really smart she'll be able to fill up his glossary with useful information about the world. It seemed like a good deal to him so he decided that he would head over to her library right away... or as soon as he got his clothes back...
