Perfect!
Coming!
Welcome to Carousel Boutique...
...where every garment is chic, unique and magnifique.
Sapphire Shores! The Pony of Pop!
Good afternoon, Miss Raritee!
You... you know my name?
Well, of course I do, darling.
I make it a point to know all of the up-and-coming designers...
...and Clothes Horse magazine simply raved about you.
Oh my stars. If I'm dreaming, do not wake me up.
How may I help you, Miss Shores?
Oh please, call me Sapphire.
How may I help you, Sapphire?
Well, as I'm sure you know, I'll be touring all of Equestria with my latest concert...
SAPPHIRE SHORES ZIGFILLY FOLLIES!
...so I need to look...
SEEENSATIONAL!
OW!
I have just what you need.
Sapphire Shores, prepare yourself for the pièce de résistance de la haute couture.
I used every last diamond I found on this one garment.
And it is spectacular!
I'll take it.
Really?
Oh yes, and five more, each done up in a different jewel.
Beg pardon?
Costume changes.
Yes, I do have that effect on ponies.
Oh my gosh! Sapphire Shores! The Pony of Pop!
She is awesome!
I mean, she's gorgeous, talented and...
...and not even half the pony you are.
I mean, you're ten times more gorgeous and talented and...
Spike, a lady is never jealous.
Of course not. But were you totally flipping out or what?
Ladies do not "flip out", Spike.
However, I was quite in awe.
Oh, I need to find more jewels than ever before to decorate her costumes.
Oh, aha!
Did you find some?
Yes, Spike! Right there!
You look so delicious...
Spike!
I promised I'll give you gems to snack on.
But we need to collect more first or I'll never be able to make these outfits for Sapphire.
I will miss you, my sweets.
Come along, Spike. We have many jewels to find.
At your service, my lady.
Spike!
You've been very patient today, Spike.
And for that you'll get the finest reward.
This is from me to you.
Is something wrong, Spike?
No. It's perfect.
Ooh, bring the cart, Spike. There are more over here.
For me.
From Rarity.
Yesss, gemsss. Gemsss!
Our preciousss gemsss!
He is the gem hunter.
With him we can have all those gems.
And more!
Let's get the dragon.
Spike! Where are you?
What? Who is that?
You know, it's terrible to keep a lady waiting.
Coming!
I think we're really going to strike gold this time.
So to speak.
Jackpot!
Oh, it's not the dragon we want. It's the pony!
The pony...
Well, Spike, I think that's all we can do for today.
And these will certainly get me well on my way with Sapphire's outfits.
Why don't we start headi... Oh!
What's this? Another jewel!
Oh, strange. It's in the trees.
Good day, gentle... uh, fellow.
I am Rarity and this is my friend Spike.
And you are...?
A diamond dog.
Oh really? Oh well, that explains your fine taste in jewelry.
I mean I-I-I know that diamonds are a girl's best friend...
...and now I know that they're a dog's best friend too, ha ha ha.
So, um... you're out hunting for gems as well?
Yes. We hunt.
Uh... we?
We hunt for gems.
But you are a better hunter. So now we hunt...
...for you!
Run, Rarity! Run!
Spike! Come on! Hurry!
Gotcha!
Got him, Rarity! I got him!
Ha ha! Nope!
Sorry, scaly one.
Wait! Rarity?
Unhand me this instant, you ruffians. Stop! Put me down, you scum! You rough...!
Rarity!
Spike!
Ah, dirt!
AAAAAH, SPIKE!
Which... what... where...
SAVE ME...!
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Spike, can you breathe now?
Yes... I think so.
Good. Now tell us what you know.
Yeah. Cause all you said earlier was...
Rarity... woods... jewels... dogs... hole... taken... SAVE HER!
Not a whole lot to go on there, Sport.
Sorry. Rarity and I were in the woods looking for jewels when these creepy guys showed up.
Creepy guys?
They called themselves the diamond dogs.
They grabbed Rarity and disappeared down a hole in the ground.
Well, that sounds mighty easy. Just take us to that their hole and we'll save Rarity.
Holy Moly, that's a lotta holeys.
Come on, girls! Let's get started.
Hello!
Quick! We gotta get down one before they're all filled up.
Oh! Oh my. Oh! Oh!
We can't muscle through it!
We'll see about that.
Huh. Heavens to Betsy.
Now I'm used to pickin' myself up and dustin' myself off...
...but Rarity won't even touch mud 'less it's imported.
Oh, Rarity...
Oh, woe is me! What ever shall I do?
Ah! Dirt, dirt!
Get away, dirt! Oh! Make it stop! Make it stop!
Ah! Filthy, disgusting dirt.
It stings, it burns.
Help! Oh, somepony save me, SAVE ME!
We gotta save her.
But they blocked up all the holes.
Don't mean we can't dig 'em out. Come on!
Get 'em!
Come on!
Oh, those scary monsters popping up everywhere.
-Oh, poor Rarity must be terrified. -Oh...
Get me the baubles!
Get me the beads!
Get me the trinkets!
Where is the treasure?!
Poor Rarity. What are we gonna do?
I got it!
I'll save you, my sweet!
Huh?
-Spike, it is very noble of you... -Shhh!
...to sacrifice the gem Rarity gave you.
Oh, Lady Rarity. My damsel in distress.
I shall save you.
Show yourselves, dogs! You curs!
Hah. There you are, you mingy mutts.
Who are you calling mutts?
Unleash the hounds!
Now, where is Lady Rarity?
Spike! I knew you would save me!
Nothing could stop me, my lady.
Oh, Spike. You are my hero.
Hoho there, lover boy.
Whoa!
Whoa whoa whoawhoawhoa...
I got a bite! I got a bite!
Hold on there, little fella.
Applejack!
Twilight!
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness...
Wait for me! Wheee!
Whee!
Ha ha, it worked! We're in! Now we can finally save Rarity!
Um...
Which way do we go?
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
All these tunnels... How are we ever gonna find Rarity?
Guess we're just gonna have to start going down them one by one.
That could take forever! There's gotta be way to narrow it down.
I know!
I bet they've taken Rarity down the tunnel with the most gems.
But Spike, Rarity is the only one who knows how to find gems.
No, Twilight. You can! You can copy Rarity's gemfinding spell.
Oh my gosh! You're right!
Rarity showed me how she did it a while back. If I can just remember...
That's it.
You did it, Twilight. Come on!
We're coming, Rarity. We'll save you. Just hold on!
Oh please, diamond dogs. Please let me go.
No!
You're our precious little pony.
For ever!
But what ever do you want from me?
Gemsss!
Yes! The gems. The jewels.
Find them! Find them all!
Oh! Is that all?
There. A lovely pocket of jewels are right there. Now, would you be so kind as to show me the exit?
Good!
Now, dig them up, pony.
What? But you said you wanted me to *find* the gems.
Yes! Find and then dig.
Dig?
Yes. Dig.
What are you doing? We said dig!
Forgive me but prior to you so rudely dragging me into your dirt pit...
...I had a pony pedi and I am not about to chip a hoof because you dislike my style of digging.
Oh, for goodness.
Fine! Just stop. Stop!
Dig, dogs! Dig! And fast.
She won't dig, she pulls.
I beg your pardon, but what, pray tell, are you doing?
Others will dig. You will haul the wagon.
Prrrecious pony pedi will be preserved.
Well, somebody certainly needs proper nail care.
When was the last time you two had a manicure?
You're scratching up my coat with that jagged things.
Please be quiet!
Good heavens, what is that smell?
Smeeeeeell?
Ah, mystery solved. It's your breath.
Enough!
Search, pony!
Well, since you *insist*...
But I must say the working conditions in here are simply dreadful.
Musty and damp, it's going to wreak havoc on my mane.
And this air is strictly suffocating.
And when I try to get a deep breath, the stench of all you dogs makes me nauseating.
You look and smell like if you haven't bathed in weeks. Have you never heard of soap?
You could all do with a good round of soap and water.
Water, water, I'm terribly thirsty. Could I please have some water?
Good gracious, I can't take this anymore.
BE QUIET, PONY!
And that's another thing. I would appreciate if you stopped calling me "pony".
I am a lady and I wish to be addressed as such.
So you may call me "Miss" or "Rarity" or "Miss Rarity"
Enough! Your whining! I-I-It hurts!
Whining? I am *not* whining. I am complaining.
Do you want to hear whining?
Thiiis iiis whiiining!
Oooh, this harness it too tiiight!
It's going to chafe. Can't you loosen it?
Oooh, it hurts and it's sooo ruuusty!
Why didn't you clean it first? It's gonna leave a staaain!
And the wagon's getting heeeavy, why do I have to pull it?!
Aaah! Make it stop!
Stop whining!
But I thought you wanted whiiining!
We'll do anything, pony!
Oh, uh, we'll do anything, "Miss Rarity".
Anything?
This water is hardly sparkling. But I suppose it will have to do.
Wait! Why are we doing this?
To stop the awful noises from the pony's mouth, remember?
Yes, yes, I know.
This is ridiculous! Letting a pony order us around.
What are we? Mice or dogs?
Mi... dogs?
Dogs do not pull. Ponies pull.
Let her make the awful noises.
Huh? What are you doing?
Hey, you spilled my drink.
Not sooo tiiight!
Ha! Make the noises all you want.
But move while you make them.
Hyah, mule!
Did you just call me a... mule?
Mules are ugly. Are you saying that I too am ugly?
What are *these* noises?
HE CALLED ME UGLY!
No! Mule! I said mule!
An old ugly mule! And it's true!
Just look at me. I used to be beautiful, but... but... nooow...
No, no! You're still beautiful, po... uh, Miss Rarity.
You're just saying that!
No, you're still pretty and... and...
Oh, uh uh, nice. Yeah.
I don't believe you! You never liked me!
I have just about enough of this.
We're getting close. I can feel it.
It's coming from down here! Come on!
She must be in there. Let's go!
More workhorses.
Ho, doggies. If you can take this bull by the horns...
...you better be ready for a ride.
Come on, ponies! Kick 'em up, kick 'em out.
Buck 'em up, buck 'em down.
Yeehaw!
Get along, little doggies!
I'm coming for you, my lady.
Hi-ho, Twilight! Away!
And just what do you think you're doing?
Please, Twilight. Just give me this.
Fine.
Lady Rarity, I'm here to save you!
Excuse me?
-So picky. -And critical.
-She won't stop talking. -And crying.
We, uh, give her back. Yes.
Rarity! You're safe!
Why, yes. Hello, girls.
You are just in time to assist me.
Assist you with what?
With those.
You're letting us leave with all these... jewels?
Yes. Take them. And her with them.
Please!
I can't believe you got all these gems!
Heh. I can't believe you tricked all those dogs.
Just because I'm a lady doesn't mean I cannot handle myself in a sticky situation.
I had them wrapped around my hoof the entire time.
I can't wait to write to Princess Celestia to tell her what you taught me today.
Me? What did I teach you?
Just because somepony is ladylike doesn't make her weak.
In fact, by using her wits...
...a seemingly defenseless pony can be the one who outsmarts and outshines them all.
"Outshines" is right.
Now you have enough gems to cover Sapphire Shores's costumes.
Not if you eat them all, Spike.
