The Carousel Boutique [Open]

Rarity stood in the simulation of The Carousel Boutique, recalling the colours and atmosphere of the place. A hologram of Opalescence was sitting on the table, swishing its tail and looking at Rarity.

"Do you think this gem would do, Opalescence?" She levitated a red gem and the cat blinked. "Or this one?" Rarity asked, levitating a blue one. The feline mewed and stretched.

The unicorn smiled and continued to play-work with the pony outfit she was currently pre-occupied with.

"Hello Applejack! I'm just feeling a little nostalgic. I got orders for prom outfits at the clothiers but I miss designing pony outfits." Rarity replied as she smoothed a crease on the dress.

Opalescence walked up to Applejack, happy to see a familiar face and mewed.

"Right, that prom thing. It's something like the Gala, right?" Whatever it was, Applejack wanted no part of it. She smiled down at Opal, gently offering a hoof to the kitten.

"Have you got a dress for yourself in that head of yours?"

Opal nuzzled and brushed against Applejack's hoof while Rarity added the final touch to the dress meant for a pegasus. "Of course I have a dress in mind. I even came up with designs for the rest even if they're not here..."

Applejack couldn't help but miss Winona as she played with Rarity's cat. Was her little doggie out there somewhere? She'd better be.

"Just like always," Applejack sighed, peeking around the boutique for hints of sketches or fabrics. "So you were planning on going?"

Rarity nodded. "Definitely, why would I miss out building relations with others? What about you? Would you be serving any of your delicious apple treats?"

She flipped through a couple of sketches she had in mind for Applejack. "I would like to make an outfit for you."

"Huh. Well...I guess I could," she had to admit to herself. "Wasn't planning on it, not after the Gala was a right mess. But we'd be ready to make our own fun this time, right?"

She eyed the sketches one by one, shifting so that Opal could have a peek too. "So long as I have a hat and it won't get in my way, it'll do," she nodded. After the last disaster at the fashion show, she knew better than to make too many suggestions.

"Of course, we will have fun with donuts and chocolate. Do you want it to be similar to what you wore at the gala?" Rarity figured that her friend would prefer something familiar and she could tweak the colours and pattern on Applejack's original gala dress.

"Fancy parties, always full of hoof-lickin' good food. ...'cept I'm not supposed to lick 'em," Applejack said sheepishly. "Well I guess I could spare a few."

She thought back on her memory of that dress. It had worked. "Sure thing, it could've been a lot worse. Like what I picked out," she grinned. "You trying something new for yours?"

"The best thing is to enjoy yourself, Applejack." She was thinking about her dress too. "I thought of a combination between my gala dress and the one I wore to Fluttershy's last fashion show. It would be difficult but I'm sure I would manage it."

"Frills and feathers?" Applejack made a face. That was definitely not her style, but she was grateful that Rarity seemed to understand that much.

"You'll be the belle of the ball, same as always."

"Thank you, Applejack." Rarity sat down on a chair to relax with her cat. "I'll get down to everyone's outfits. Slowly this time." She gave her friend a small smile.

"And I won't be kicking up a fuss this time," Applejack smiled back, delighted to see the two of them together. In fact...

"Say, where'd you find lil' Opal?"

Rarity looked at her white cat fondly. "You may find this odd and peculiar but I thought of her and she appeared."

(OOC: Are you able to physically touch simulations or would your hand just pass through them?)

"Huh. Like the rest of this Sensory stuff?" Applejack does the same, thinking about...no, not Apple Bloom, that would be too painful. And she doesn't want Rarity to have to worry about Sweetie Belle again either. The best choice is probably Winona, her dear little puppy. She's wagging her tail and flicking her tongue, all smiles...

...on second thought, Winona's presence is a bad idea. Dogs and cats are never a healthy combination. The pup gives a happy little bark and scampers off after Opal.

"Oh---now you quit it!" Applejack scolded, trying to fix her dog with a glare.

((ooc: They're solid as can be! And actually, if you send the mods an email for permission, you can have the real Opal pop and join Rarity at any time. The characters' pets were saved.))

Opalescence makes a startled whining meow before running away from the dog. "Opalescence!" Rarity called out for her cat as it climbed up the curtain.

"Winona's not going to hurt you. Please come down."

((OOC: I don't need to create a LJ account for Opal, right? I do recall the Digimon & Pokemon characters having their "pets" along with them without a separate account for the creatures.))

"Winona! You'd best get your little doggie behind right down here and make amends," Applejack scolded, giving a sharp pound of her hoof. She stared at the dog, waiting for her to whimper and bow at her owner's feet.

"Ah--whoops. Forgot. That'd be why I don't bring her here."

((OOC: Nope! You could make an account if you wanted to have extra icons for her, but it's not necessary. I might just mention Winona here and there.))

"It's alright, Applejack." Rarity replied earnestly as she coaxed the white cat down. Opalescence did detach herself from the fabic and jumped on Rarity's back for safety.

The order almost worked. Winona paused for a moment, but soon resumed her happy and hopeful stare up at Opal.

"Now now, don't you get all excited. Opal's a friend, not some stray sheep you need to bring along!" Surprisingly, the puppy almost listened. She curled up at Applejack's feet.

"Whew. So now we've got ourselves a truce. Everything going alright 'round here, Rarity, or is there anything I can lend a hoof with?"

The unicorn shook her head and gave her friend a smile. "Not at all, Applejack. I'm doing well. I ought to get started with making the outfits for space prom soon."

She walked forth and gave Winona a little pat on her head, much to Opalescence's displeasure and the cat made a little growl. "Opalescence, that is not nice. Stop it."

The white kitten glared a bit at her owner but settled down quietly on Rarity's back. "What about you, Applejack? Do you need any help?"

"Nah, I'm good. Apples are coming along just fine!" She looked proud of that fact, very happy that more options would open soon.

Winona barked happily, doing a little dance to taunt Opal. Oh, pets. Applejack made a clicking noise of disapproval at this, pointedly trying to calm Opal.

"Now now, don't fuss. We'll just get right out of your fur, all right?"

Opalescence mewed and looked at the dog from her safe spot.

"That is wonderful news, Applejack. I look forward to eating your apple treats soon!"

"And you will! I've just gotta hit the road and get 'em ready. See you when we sort the dresses, Rarity!"

Applejack turned to go, definitely smiling. She'd find a way to make everypony happy at the ball. Give them a preview of what they could taste once a little apple orchard was up and running.
