POV TWILIGHT

- Twilight! Hurry up!

- Rarity, it's hard for me to focus on accelerating with your voice bothering me!

It was Pinkie's birthday party day. Rarity insisted that Fluttershy and I get ready at her house, and then the three of us would go to the party together. I tried to pack my things in a backpack, while Rarity hurried me, screaming from downstairs. I finished packing my things and found her propped up at the door, with Fluttershy by her side.

- Finally! - celebrated Rarity.

- I think you've already screamed too much today - Fluttershy directed her out of my house - it will bother Twilight's parents.

In fact, my mother was already used to Rarity's "energy", and even liked to talk to someone who - in her words - had a lot of excitement to share.

- Let's go soon, I miss a party - Rarity pulled us towards the car.

Rarity entered her house like a hurricane, going straight to her room, desperate to start getting ready. Fluttershy and I exchanged complicit glances, holding a laugh as soon as we saw the confusion in Rarity's mother's eyes.

Cookie Crumbles was an elegant woman, a little taller than us and who must have been in her early thirties. Owner of a network of boutiques, which spread throughout the state, she was generous and charismatic, just like her daughter.

- Good night girls - greeted us - you know why Rarity is so...

- Hurried? - completed Fluttershy.

- Desperate? - I added.

Cookie laughed and nodded. He nodded.

- We have a Pinkie Pie party to go to - I commented - did she tell you she would go?

- She even commented briefly - Cookie said - I imagine they all go together.

- She invited us to get ready here - Fluttershy said - is everything okay for you? I mean, I don't know if Rarity warned you.

- Of course, why wouldn't I be? - Rarity's mother laughed - you know I love you.

- Thank you Mrs. Crumbles - thank you - I think we'd better go up, before Rarity freaks out.

- You can go, I'll stay down here if you need to - Cookie sat on the couch and opened the newspaper she was reading before.

Fluttershy and I started going up the stairs. Rarity's house was not really a mansion, but it was certainly very large and spacious, as well as luxurious. Much of the decoration was the choice of mother and daughter. Rarity's father, Hondo Flanks (or just Magnus, as he was known), was not attached to chic things, but he liked to see his wife and daughter working together to beautify the house.

As much as they loved spending time at home, Cookie Crumbles and Hondo Flanks had a troubled schedule. Cookie often needed to travel to take care of her boutiques, sometimes she could stay at home for more than three days. Hondo, on the other hand, was one of the advisors of an American football team that was growing fast, and used to accompany them at the games, not being able to stay at home for long. In this way, the house was not very busy, those who really stayed there were Rarity and her younger sister SweetieBelle, who was attending elementary school at Canterlot High.

We entered Rarity's room, perhaps the best decorated room in the house. Rarity observed some dresses she could wear, she also analyzed some combinations of t-shirts and pants.

- What do you think? - asked Rarity.

- I think you can go with that light blue dress you like - I said, ignoring all the clothes on the bed - it looks great on you.
