>you arrive at Rarity's boutique, parking on the curb right out front
>it's a nice shop. A lot of color and fairly small, but that made it seem cozy
>a high school girl owning a boutique was weird but Rarity's parents had some money and her dresses were well known throughout town since she was a middle schooler
>psyching yourself up you get out and go up the building
>"the secret is to force yourself," you reminded yourself as you open the door
>a bell on the door jingled and Rarity called out for you by name
"Norman, is that you darling?"
>"It be me Rarity."
"Oh splendid, I will be down soon. Could you be a dear and flip the sign to closed? Afterwards make yourself at home."
>after flipping the sign you respond, "done and done sweet thing."
>"oh sweet negroes! Did I just say that?" You wondered, not believing you could be so stupid
>"oh jumping jews, was the first thing my mind went to negroes?" You wondered again, "ah shit, maybe I am racist."
>for a little while there was no response, until
"Oh thank you darling, sorry for my late reply. I was absorbed in something else."
>"O-okay, maybe she didn't notice. Or maybe she's just being polite?"
>after exhausting the potential consequences of that slip you decide to simply sit down and shut up until Rarity comes down
>glancing at a clock on the wall you check to see how much time the two of you have.
>the movie was a good half hour away, with only a short 10 minute drive to the theater
>plenty of time
 
>fortunately you didn't have to wait long
>Rarity emerged from a back room impeccably dresses
>nothing too fancy but definitely different from her school attire
>a white shirt made from a fairly expensive and soft looking fabric and blue skirt a white stripe running along the... Edge?
>you didn't know what the bottom part of a skirt was called
 
>fortunately, you had an automated response for this situation, "you look good."
"Why thank you Norman. I think you look rather good yourself."
>that was a lie, you were wearing exactly what you did at school
>"scheduling chastisement for not thinking to change" you noted
>Rarity walked over to you and stopped in front of you
>she was somewhat tall for a girl, but very tiny in physique
>smiling she asked, "well then, shall we go?"
>remembering your training you replied
"Certainly, let's get it on."
>you have a remarkable talent for saying the stupidest shit ever
 
>Rarity looks a little taken aback but regains her smile and turns the lights off in the shop
>trying to score more points with her you open the door for her
"Oh thank you Norman."
>in all honesty, the thanking makes you uncomfortable
>after you leave she pulls out a ring of keys and locks the store up
"Okay," she begins, strangely more upbeat than before, "we should hurry in order to get there early."
