Rarity: [sighs]

[sewing machine whirring]

Rarity: [humming]

[bell ringing]

Rarity: [gasps] Was that the Pony Post?!

Opalescence: [mewls]

Rarity: Oh, it's just you, Opal.

Opalescence: [mewls]

Rarity: Ohhh... Every other day he's here like clockwork! Not today! What could possibly be holding him up?!

[thonk]

Pinkie Pie: [muffled] Strawberry cinnamon cilantro salutations!

Rarity: What?

Pinkie Pie: What indeed. I bet you're wondering what warrants such a welcome! Well, that welcome is warranted by a pony that whisked up a warm batch of strawberry cinnamon cilantro cupcakes!

[thonk]

Pinkie Pie: [chomp] That strangely sickening flavor combination sounds just as bad as it tastes. [gulps] Ugh. So I came here to offer you some!

Rarity: After that visually descriptive and disturbing endorsement, I'll pass.

Pinkie Pie: Oh, I almost forgot! I have this letter for you, Rarity! The post pony was going to deliver it, but after a strawberry cinnamon cilantro cupcake, he was feeling kinda queasy. And since I was heading over anyway, I figured I could do it for him! Here you go!

Rarity: [gasps]

[paper ripping]

Rarity: [inaudible reading]

Pinkie Pie: [chews]

Rarity: [loud gasp]

Pinkie Pie: [with mouth full] What's it say?

Rarity: I got it!

Pinkie Pie: Woo-hoo! Got what?

Rarity: Oh, I have been holding out for the perfect location, and it finally became available! So now I can fulfill my dream of opening a boutique in Canterlot!

Pinkie Pie: Whoo! I'm so excited, I think I'm gonna lose my cupcakes! [hurk]

[train brakes hissing]

Twilight Sparkle: Rarity's such a savvy businesspony. I'm so impressed she used the huge bonus she earned making the costumes for Sapphire Shores' Equestria-wide tour to open this second boutique!

Main cast sans Rarity: [various exclamations of awe]

Rarity: I take it from your reaction that you like the boutique?

Fluttershy: It's lovely.

Applejack: Gosh, Rarity. I know hard work when I see it, and it looks like you worked your hooves to the nub!

Pinkie Pie: I don't know. Those hooves don't look nubby. They look scrubbied and buffied and pedied!

Rarity: Well, despite my 'nubby scrubby buffy pony pedi, I actually have been working very hard! However, I never could have gotten the boutique ready for the grand opening without the help of my new manager Sassy Saddles!

Sassy Saddles: Bust my buttons, Rarity! The ponies from Ponyville!

Main cast sans Rarity: [various greetings]

Rarity: I knew I needed a manager for Canterlot Carousel, so when Sassy showed me her resumé and I saw that she worked in all of the finest boutiques in Canterlot, I hired her right on the spot!
