Rarity hummed gently to herself as she looked over her most recent project. Though it had taken her several long nights of slaving over the sewing machine along with a few gem-hunting trips with Spike and a minor setback courtesy of her younger sister, she had finally completed three stellar ensembles for one of her most important costumers, Princess Luna herself! Though her ultimate dream was to have Celestia herself commission something, Luna was the next best thing, and one of the highest honors she could have been given. Therefore, everything had to be completely perfect!

Even though she had finished the dresses the evening before, Rarity had woken up a bit earlier than usual to make sure everything was absolutely flawless and to make minor changes, if need be. With her work glasses resting securely on her nose, she scrutinized every little detail. The first dress, a light blue one with a star theme, a sash around the midsection, and airy sleeves for the arms, seemed to be a little too tight around the middle at first, but a little adjustment with Rarity's magic loosened it a bit. The second, a white one that was sparkled with an ample amount of blue and red jewels, was Rarity's favorite of the three, but she was deathly afraid that the Princess of the Night would find it too bright or glittery. The third was also white, but used lighter colored jewels, and not much of a dress, but a beautiful outfit none the less. Rarity was a bit unsure if the necklace was necessary, but that was an easy detail to fix if she changed her mind.

Opalescence, who was sitting contently on a table nearby, looked over to her owner and offered a slightly bothered mew, confused that her owner was up so early in the day.

"Oh, Opal! Aren't they just lovely? My finest work to date, if I must say so myself," she told her pet, trotting over next to her, "And they simply -have- to be. They -have- to be! This isn't just anypony, it's the Princess herself! Oh, she has to adore them! And how could one not, hm?"

Using her magic, she lifted Opal slightly and brought her into a hug, which positively bothered the white feline, shown by her irritated mrowl. Not wanting to get clawed, Rarity quickly put her kitty down onto the floor.

"And, if this goes well, maybe the Princess will tell her sister!" she squealed excitedly, "And, soon, I'll be providing the entire royal family with their wardrobes! All of Canterlot will be admiring my work! Chic, unique, and magnifique! Eee!... Opal?"

Not wanting to put up with anymore of her owner's nonsense, Opal quietly made her way to the kitchen to check if Rarity had put out her food this morning.

"Oh, no matter! I wonder when she'll arrive," Rarity told herself, laughing happily in excitement.

The sound of rhythmic, choreographed hoofbeats outside signaled that Princess Luna's Black Stallion guardsmen were stopping, and taking up position on either side of the door.  The carriage had landed just a short walk from the boutique's entryway, and Luna emerged,  posed and regal in bearing, from within. She looked about, and noted that at least a few ponies were gawking. Nobody had expected a royal visit, it seemed,. But  Luna reminded herself, their people did more than keep track of events far from their home...  Though... Rarity should have at least rolled out a carpet or something...

 Her raised hoof hesitated, then settled for the walkway - it wasn't as if it'd hurt her, she just... well, at least Canterlot was more traditional in greeting, even if it wasn't always heartfelt or clear in that confusing, political place.

She finally reached the door, and raised a hoof... Recalling how she'd once seen Twilight requesting entry at Fluttershy's home, she then rapped the delicate hoof upon the door, thrice.  How should this greeting go? She had her lips open but couldn't decide what to say exactly.   One the one hand, Rarity was a friend, though one she'd spent little time with. On the other, she was being hired for a high-profile job by one of the most influential ponies in Equestria...

The clash of the two resulted in a a clearly voiced effort to begin something... "Your Princess Has Arrived!" A slightly raised hoof, her chin lifting, horn straight up...  voice just bordering on the echoing glory of the Royal Canterlot Voice... - Luna did try to ensure that Rarity heard her, the result being that a good portion of the district did.

"She's here!" Rarity exclaimed as she heard the three knocks on the door. She was  about to dash over to the door to answer it, but a mirror caught her immediate attention, "How's my mane? Oh, it looks alright, but maybe just a little... No time! Glasses, or no glasses? Should I appear professional? Friendly? Need to make the perfect impression!"

The bellowing of Luna's commanding voice made the decision for her, making her jump in the air in surprise which sent her cute little red glasses clattering towards the floor. In an instant, Rarity's horn began to glow, holding the glasses aloft before they shattered on the ground. Knowing that time was wasting, she set them aside next to her sewing machine and made her way to the door, opening it with a bow.

"Your highness! Welcome to the Carousel Boutique, where everything's chic, unique, and magnifique!" she began, head lowered to the floor in a bow of respect, though she could barely keep from jittering from the excitement, "I promise that you won't be disappointed, Princess, once you see the absolutely fabulous ensembles that I've designed just for you."
