Re: Ponyville Business District - The Carousel Boutique
"Oh! I'll go let them in," Rarity nodded, suddenly alerted to the knocking at the door, "Do make yourself at home, dear. Though, I would avoid Opal, if you see her. She... doesn't much like strangers."
'Or much of anyone else for that matter,' Rarity mused in her mind as she trotted over to the front door. Hopefully, it was a costumer, or one of her friends coming to visit. Could the Princess and Fluttershy be back so soon? Perhaps they forgot something?
Using her magic, Rarity swung the door open with a wide welcoming smile, which quickly changed to a look of surprise when she saw Applejack of all ponies standing at the door of her Boutique. Usually, the farm pony was arriving with someone else, not one for the froo-froo nature of her abode, so the fact that she appeared all alone was quite unusual.
"Applejack! What a surprise," Rarity said, "Won't you come in? I just finished giving Moonsong, you remember the bat-pegasus that sang last night, a wonderful makeover, and-" She took a closer look at Applejack, who didn't look very well at all. Slightly ruffled, huffy, mane in a little bit of a tizzy, but then again it always is.
"-And, is everything alright, darling? You look... ruffly."
