Doing It Right

Now, Jet Set and Upper Crust had ran into Dreamscope. "Jet Set? Upper Crust?" Dreamscope said quietly. "Hi," Jet set said quietly. "What are you two doing here?" Dreamscope asked.

"We were looking for you," Upper Crust said. "Looking for me?" Dreamscope repeated, "Why?" Upper Crust was about to answer when a rude voice interrupted her.

"Dreams whatever!" the voice boomed. "Sorry, I have to go!" Dreamscope said as she left. Jet Set and Upper Crust watched in dismay.

"We have to talk to her," Upper Crust said, "Somehow." "You're right, my dear," agreed Jet Set, "But it looks like whoever called her name doesn't sound friendly at all." They were right.

The out the pony whom Dreamscope is working for, whose name is Snooty Hooves is giving Dreamscope a hard time.

She had Dreamscope carry out tons and tons of fabric for her. And she rarely gives Dreamscope a break. "Come on, Dreamy!" Snooty Hooves shouted at Dreamscope, deliberately messing up her name, "I don't have all day! Work! Work! Work! Work!" "All right, all right!" Dreamscope replied, "And my name is Dreamscope, Snooty."

"Whatever," said Snooty Hooves. Jet Set and Upper Crust watch Dreamscope make a delivery. "She just wanted to learn from us," Upper Crust said sadly, "And we've messed it up for her."

"Somehow," Jet Set said, "We must get her to realize that. And let her make her own choice as well."

They watched as Dreamscope walked inside. "Somehow," Upper Crust thought. Some time later, Dreamscope was thinking about something while doing her work for Snooty Hooves.

"Why did they return?" she asked herself, "To me? To find me?" She thought about this for a while. So without letting Snooty Hooves knowing, she snuck out.

Jet Set and Upper Crust were about to go home when Dreamscope ran up to them. "Jet Set! Upper Crust!" Dreamscope called out.

The two ponies turned to face her. "Dreamscope?" Jet Set said, "What are you doing here?" "That's what I should have asked you two," Dreamscope answered. "We wanted to apologize," Upper Crust said, "We know that you only wanted to learn from us and we failed."

"We're sorry that we were only thinking about ourselves and not about you," Jet Set said, "We wanted you to know that. Now, there is a choice that you must make for yourself." "And we can see that your boss is not allowing that," Upper Crust said, "So what's it going to be?"

"Really?" Dreamscope asked, "You came back for me? You wanted to make it up to me?" "Yes," Jet Set answered, "Please think about it." Dreamscope thought about it for a second before saying, "I must go now. Snooty Hooves will wonder where I am. But I will think about it."

Dreamscope ran back to Snooty Hooves shop. "I hope so," Upper Crust said, "I just hope so." Dreamscope did make it back, only to have Snooty Hooves deliver a set of pony mannequins to a cart going to Ponyville. This is when Dreamsope is really thinking about what Jet Set and Upper Crust said.

"I let them made a mistake and I didn't appreciate that fancy party," Dreamscope thought as she carried the mannequins to the cart, "So I chose this lousy job. Ok, I am really going to make my choice now!"

After her work is done for the day, she really thought about it.

The next day, Dreamscope met up with Snooty Hooves early in the morning. "All right," Snooty Hooves said, "I want you to clean my shop with this toothbrush!"

She gave Dreamscope a tiny toothbrush. "Really?" thought Dreamscope, "A toothbrush to clean a whole shop?" "After that, I want you to work on my mane for three hours until it is shiny!" Snooty Hooves demanded.

"Ok," Dreamscope said, "I have thought about something." "What?" Snooty Hooves asked. "I am not working with you anymore!" she declared, "You're on your own! I quit your lousy job!"

With that, she threw the toothbrush down to the floor. "All right," Snooty Hooves said, "I will take care of this on my own! Go ahead, quit. You have nothing better to do anyway!"

"That's fine!" Dreamscope shouted and she stormed out the door. "Oh well," Snooty Hooves said, "I'll have to schedule my mane make-up for tomorrow morning at the mane trimmer place, whatever it is."

After that, Dreamscope met up with Jet Set and Upper Crust. "So what did you do now?" Upper Crust asked Dreamscope. "I quit that lousy job," Dreamscope said, "And now, I'm willing to hang around with you two."

"All right," said Jet Set, "Why don't you take a long break? You've been working at that place for a few days anyway, so you deserve it." "Thanks," Dreamscope said. So for the rest of the day, Dreamscope relaxed in Jet Set and Upper Crust's home.

The next morning, Jet Set, Upper Crust and Dreamscope decided to have breakfast together. "We'll start over tomorrow for sure," Upper Crust said, "We'll make it up to you, Dreamscope." "Oh, thanks," Dreamscope said.

"What gave you the idea to work for someone like that lousy shop keeper in the first place?" Jet Set asked. "Oh, depression," Dreamscope answered, "I should have thought correctly."

"Well, you can think now," Upper Crust said. "I will," said Dreamscope, "I'll do better in the future. Hmm, that's funny, I thought I heard Snooty Hooves crying now."

"What, what?" Jet Set asked. Dreamscope, Jet Set and Upper Crust watched Snooty Hooved running away, crying. Her mane is a complete mess with leaves and branches sticking out of it.

"Talk about a bad hair day," Jet Set said. "Yep," Upper Crust said, "I agree with you 100%." "You know," Dreamscope said, "It's impossible to help her out now." "So let's start tomorrow," Jet Set said. "Uh, how about today?" Dreamscope suggested, "I'm up for it." "That's fine," Upper Crust said.

The three will work things out now.

And the main cause for Snooty Hooves' bad mane day: it was revealed that a pony named Zephyr Breeze had worked on the selfish pony's mane at the barber shop. He did the same thing to other ponies that day.

By the end of the day, after Zephyr Breeze had done the same thing to several more ponies: "You are a lame brain! You're fired!" The boss of the shop had kicked Zephyr Breeze out for deliberately giving the ponies wrong mane make up. Then he slammed the door.

"No!" Zephyr Breeze shouted back, "You're the lame pony! Lame brain! Lame brain!" "Zephyr Breeze continued mocking the boss while walking away.
