Fashion Highway: The road to success

[SpiritAdagio319]

(wow, gosh sorry again for the late reply!)

"200 bits? hmm" I said, starting to look into my hoodie pocket and grabbed my wallet. I dug through and found the 200 I needed. "This should cover it!"

[Lullaby Princess]

* She jumped when she saw Panini * Oh, I-um-well, you see... uh.. * she thought of something to say, but no words came out, so she just stood there, waiting for the worst *

[Lemon D. Muffin Pony]

* Panini picked up the broken pieces of jewelry and looked at them closely * Hmm... you are very lucky that this is not one of the very expensive jewelry... clean this mess up and don't drop anything else. * she walked away *

[Lullaby Princess]

* Sparkle thanked Celestia to herself before cleaning the jewelry and walking over to Akira * Akira, I'm done with the jewelry and-oooh! * she stared at the dress that Akira picked out * Such a nice dress! Oh, and here is your jewelry. * she handed a gift bag to the mare * It's free of charge for ponies who first visit F.L.C

[SpiritAdagio319]

"Really? Thank you. I'll be sure to come back soon for my next outift!" I said, grabbing the bag with my wing, I smiled and winked, then turned to the door. "Goodbye!" I said, smiling.

[Rarity Diva Pony]

Bye!  * Akira smiled, then turned to Illusion * Oh, what did you want to talk about?

[Stryder221]

Illusion had his head lowered and was apparently, but immediately awoke once Akira went back to him. "Ah, yes... So, um... I'm assuming I'll be going to some kind of interview in a few days from now, and... Well, since I don't have a place to rest my head..."
He looked away for a moment. "You've already done a lot for me, and I hate to impose, but... Well, I have to ask. Is it possible if I can... stay with you for a little while? I have literally nowhere to go, save for a cardboard box that is probably gone by now..."

[Lemon D. Muffin Pony]

* Before Akira even got a chance to answer, Panini intervened * Akira, enough of this chit chat! Where is your dress?? The show starts in 10 minutes! * Panini grabbed Akira's hoof and dragged her along as she walked * Like I say ALL the time, time is money and YOU are wasting it!

[Rarity Diva Pony]

Of cou- * Akira's words where cut off when Panini interrupted * Wait, Panini! * she tried to protest, but to no avail. She gave a small yelp when Panini dragged her away * But Panini, please just listen!

[FakeSmile]

Sheer Luck and her client watch as Panini dragged a mare away. They both exchanged stares before Sheer Luck went back to work. A small smile formed across her face; she defiantly going to like it here.

[Lullaby Princess]

* Sparkle already had the dress ready and stood in front of Panini * Panini, wait. Here is the fall dress you wanted. * she handed it to her *

[SpiritAdagio319]

I closed the door behind of me, and began to walk down the streets to my home.

[Rarity Diva Pony]

* Akira got out of Panini's grip and walked back to Illusion * Anyway... yes, of course you can! * she smiled *

[Stryder221]

Illusion had actually been walking a little ways behind the pair when Akira had been dragged off, looking just a bit hopeful.
"You... You mean it...? You really mean it?" He had asked, and upon seeing the mare's smile, his ears perked up. "I... I don't know what to say... T-thank you!"

He then leaned to the side, getting a look of what was probably a pretty angry Panini.
"Um... You should probably get going, though. Don't let me hold you up any further." The stallion gave Akira a warm smile.

[Lemon D. Muffin Pony]

* Panini had calmed down a bit and looked at the dress * Hm... its good. Go and enter your dress into the fashion show. Hurry! * she turned and walked away *

[FakeSmile]

Sheer Luck approach Panini with a satisfied smile. Happily she said,
Sheer Luck: Alright, I finished the last mane. I'm goin' ter go ask around if they need any help. Unless ya' already have someone in mind.

[Lemon D. Muffin Pony]

Oh, that's marvelous! Hmm... * she pointed to Sparkle and Akira * Can you fix those two's manes? They have to look ready for the fashion show.

[FakeSmile]

Sheer Luck smile as she nodded. The mare caught up to Akira and Sparkle. Before she said anything, she tried to make her self persentable by fixing her collar. With a smile she said,
Sheer Luckk: Hello, I'm Sheer Luck. Panini told me ter come over here ter help ya' out with your manes.
The mare smiled warmly at the two, hopefully they are easy clients.

[Rarity Diva Pony]

* Akira stared at Sheer Luck * Our manes? * Akira looked at her brown mane * My mane is just fine, thank you very much. * Akira didn't want her mane changed * Why not do Sparkle's? Mine is fine.

[Lullaby Princess]

Wh-my mane? * Sparkle looked at her blue mane * I don't want my mane changed... why not ask somepony else if they want their mane's changed, hm?
