"I don't know....maybe a lavender?" I flipped through a book of color swatches, "Hmmm, maybe purple? You could even go with black and white banding." A series of clip clops resounded in the hall.

"Ms?" I looked behind me towards the mare Corey left us with, "Oh...what are you doing,"

"Hi," She walked next to me, "Just thinking...maybe a blue..." I pressed the swatch against the little one's leg, "Yeah a pale blue would work, maybe a gradient...A brighter blue at the top, tapering down to a pale blue grey. What do you think?" I turned to the grown mare, she looked shocked, "...I..I uh, art classes..."

She shook her head wildly and stepped closer, "Maybe a nice Prussian blue leading into steel blue...but I'd stick with lavender to complement her mane,"

"Uh...Rarity-" The little one eeked out.

"Hush Sweetie," She took the swatches and flipped through them, "Mauve or orchid with lavender...swirled or banded, maybe even vertical stripes with a pink band at the top,"

"Yeah that would be nice, thigh or knee? I'm thinking thigh high,"

"Thigh would work, but..."

"Rarity-"

"Sweetie please...hmm, thigh with vertical stripes, or gradient for knee...you wouldn't know how to use a sewing machine would you?" She asked turning to me, her hair billowing to the side.

I gave a smug smile, "As a matter of fact I do, only useful thing they taught us in home ec," I said turning slightly bitter towards the end, "Anyways...did you want me to make her a pair?"

"Excuse me? Oh...not for her, well...maybe, but we she's not a client," She turned towards the door, "Come along,"

"Wait! Let me down first!" The little one yelped, I quickly turned around and set her on the floor.

"Sorry...you were very helpful." I said trying to be motherly, she gave me a quick frown before scampering off, "Well...that's ok...I did kinda grab her," I ignored it and hurried to find the grown mare. I ended up finding her in a small room off to the side, "Ah there you are Ms..."

"Rarity darling, My name is Rarity, and you're Carmen yes?"

"Yep,"

"Ah good, I'm glad to see you're not Clark..."

"Ha...no, where is Clark anyways?"


Clark

"Man....I can't believe it....this place is gay as hell!" I said trying to find an exit, "Come on, I'm not- AH HA! I found a door and pushed outside, "Perfect! There is no way I-" I was caught off guard by a streak of teal darting through the sky, "The hell?" The streak did a corkscrew before barely missing another grey blur, before spinning erratically and tumbling to the ground, "Whoa ho ho shit!" I started running towards the crash, "That was fucking awesome!" I reached a small field just outside of the town proper, there was a dazed teal mare sitting in the field, her head wobbling left and right,  "Whoa man, hey! You alright!"

I reached her just as she was shaking off the daze, "Where did that mailmare go!?" She stood up and started looking around, spotting the grey streak a few yards out, "There you are!" She leaned in, extending her wings. There was a quick twitch before her right wing shot back to her side, "OW! What the!?" She started trying to extend her wing, her face scrunching up in pain, "Oh you jerk!" She yelled at the diminishing grey speck, "Get back here!" She tried to run after her, giving up a few seconds later, "Who lets that mare fly!?" She turned and finally noticed me, "And what do you want!?"

"Hey...shut up...you're the one who crashed!"

"What?"

"I saw you crash, what happened?"

She looked back to where the other steak disappeared, "Mailmare cut me off, I know who it was too! That weirdo with the funky eyes!"

"...well...that sucks..."

"Your damn right it does!" She brushed past me.

"Hey watch it."

"You watch it, you should be glad I touched you!"

"And why's that!? All I've seen you do was crash like a ditz, not very impressive!"

"Hey screw you!" I popped her wings out only for her injured one to pull back, "Ow...And you think your better!? You cant even fly!"

"Well looks like neither can you!"

She got flustered, "Well I- I can still outrun you, two legged weirdo!"

"Oh sure you can, I bet you'd trip on nothing!"

"Wanna-" Her wings shot out again, "OW!" Her voice more shrill than before.

"Whoa there....you ok?" I took a step forward.

"Hey back off, I don't need your help..." She slowly tried to extend her wing, it caught half way and pulled against her, "MAILMARE!!" She yelled shaking her hoof, "I will find you!"

"Oh calm down...it was probably your fault!"

"Was not, I was one of the best flyers in the wonderbolts academy!"

"Was"

"...you're a jerk.."

"And you have a vagina, we all have problems!" This caught her off guard.

"...w-what?"

"Nothing...come on, I think this town has a hospital or something." I started off back into town.

"Why would I go anywhere with you?"

"Because...because shut up...now come on." She rolled her eyes but eventually started following me, "That's right...swag"

"Huh?"

"Nothing..."

"Weirdo,"

"Ditz..."

"Jerk,"

"Bitch!"

"Jackass!"

"C-cunt!"

"Cocksucker!"

"...shut up..."

"You first!"

"No you!"

"You shut up!"

"Look just shut up....I think we're lost..." I said stopping in an alley, "Shit...come on, we'll find it!"

"I could probably find it faster without you..."

"Shut up...just follow me!"

"Idiot..."

"Bitch..."

"You already said that..."

"Shut up!"


Carmen

I finished the seam and pulled the sock right again, "Alright, here," I handed Rarity the new sock, it was a simple solid white with two red stripes at the top.

"Hmm, the patterns are strait, seam is good, lets see how it fits," She lifted a hoof and slid it on, "Hmm, a bit lose...but I am rather slender...I should call Applejack or Pinkie Pie..."

"...was...was that a jab?"

"A jab? Oh! Oh no...they are just more...robust, than most..."

"Liar..."

"..."

"Knew it...anyways should I remake it?"

"No darling, this should be fine...Do you think you could fill out orders and help fit ponies?"

"Sure! I mean...I'll figure it out!"

"Hmm...Corey said he would teach you about hooves...why don't we go visit him."

"Uh...ok, man...Corey was never this popular back home...he was a nerd back home..." She gave me an odd look before leading me outside.


Clark

"Well, this is it..." The giant red plus gave it away, "Well...go,"

"I will!"

"Then do it!"

"I shall!"

"THEN GO!"

"YOU GO!"

"I'm not the one who hurt themselves!"

"Really I couldn't tell by your ugly face!"

"You're ugly!....no you're not..."

"Huh?!"

"I said shut up...now go!"

She narrowed her eyes at me, "...this isn't over...weirdo..." She walked inside the hospital.

"...she wants the D hardcore." I walked off a smug smile growing on my face, "Swag,"
