Rarity's alarm went off and she slipped the silk sleep mask off of her eyes so that she could turn it off. Opal was curled up on her velvet pillow pointedly showing in intention of getting up. Rarity sighed and climbed out of bed.
Any proper day started with a proper breakfast, so Rarity headed down to her kitchen. She had a muffin that she had bought yesterday, so she sat down to eat it. She loved muffins. They were the perfect breakfast - not too heavy or too light, a perfect mix of sweet and healthy, and always exactly the right amount of food.
As she did every morning, Rarity went over her plans for the day as she ate. She had dropped off a big order with a customer in Canterlot yesterday and had no remaining outstanding orders, so she would be able to spend time in her inspiration room working on new designs today. It had been a while since Rarity had gotten a day to simply design and she was very much looking forward it.
Pinkie Pie was coming to bake in Rarity's kitchen later, but she was hoping to be able to simply leave Pinkie alone and get some work done herself.
As she was cleaning up from breakfast, Rarity remembered that she had promised to drop a box of Daring Do fan club badges off at Twilight's castle this morning. She had designed and made them several days ago at Rainbow's request. The club's first meeting was today and she needed to get them over to Twilight.
"Hmm …" Rarity mused as she looked around the main workroom, "where did I put that box?"
