[And so we see Ponyville’s sweetheart on the scroll with a huge grin plastered on her face. No one’s seen or heard from her in weeks, and there was a good reason for that.

Behind her we see a portion her gigantic room, covered up by curtains. An covered area that clearly wasn’t there before and the curtains were obviously something she threw together just to be able to hide whatever thing she had behind it.

Honestly? For a victim of kidnapping, she seemed really happy]

Why hello there darlings! Yes, I’m still stuck in this horrible place but I do have some good news for you ponies.

I finished my summer line!

Yes! The moment I find a way to get out of this…poorly decorated castle, find a way to transport these beautiful new dresses out of here and rebuild my boutique, I’ll be sure to hold a fashion show to showcase my beautiful new designs!

Just be patient ponyville, I’ll be home soon.

As for the kind and generous pony that took me from my home and locked me here…

[Hear that? That’s sarcasm.]

I left something for you outside my door.

The Great and Powerful Trixie wonders if had quite possibly tried just walking out.

[It's not that she thinks Rarity is dumb enough not to think of that, but that she thinks Zetta is dumb enough not to have anything planned for that.]

YEAH! I mean, I did!

YOU WERE NEVER KIDNAPPED!

[Trixie raises an eyebrow.]

The Great and Powerful Trixie hadn't known you kidnapped multiple ponies. She demands to know why you kept such information hidden from the watchful eye of the most dazzling showmare to grace your very eyes!

I ONLY KIDNAPPED RARITY! The freak here clung to my back begging to be kidnapped the entire way home, and Pinkie Pie just showed up in my closet!

[honeycombing]

Then why was I at your house?

...

[And we see popcorn magically floating toward her.]

[carouselboutique]

I've considered it.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

[Yeah, that performance is about what he expected from her while she was his prisoner. With less locking up and more witty banter... still, it's not like he EXPECTED a thank you for giving her a place to stay while her home was wrecked...]

[Still, Zetta heads to her room to see what hilarious clown costume she's made for him. No, really, he literally expects a clown costume.]

[carouselboutique]

[Excuse him! Her clown costumes were quite in demand with the party happy ponies...namely Pinkie.

But no, that wasn't what was waiting for him outside her door. Outside her door sat a little silver box, and inside said little silver box was a pendant resting on a purple cushion, and a note that said

"I needed the practice"

So no, it's not a thank you present. It's surplus.]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

[Zetta lets out a low whistle. Snazzy!]

[Without any delay, he magics it over his head, lifting a hoof to knock on the door at the same time.]

[carouselboutique]

[She pokes her head out from behind the door, hiding her smile as she sees him wearing the pendant and puts on her all too familiar frown.]

What?

[weaponizedgems]

Now I simply must come and rescue you. It just wouldn't do to hide such a gorgeous summer line from the rest of Equestria.

CHANGELING!

2/2

[carouselboutique]

...oh wait, with all this work, I had forgotten that there was another me.

[weaponizedgems]

[She arches a delicate and well shaped brow at that before just dismissing her other self's behavior. Rarity would have probably done the same. If, she knew what a changeling was anyway.]

I would ask what a 'changeling' is but, I think we have more pressing matters to attend to.

[carouselboutique]

My thoughts exactly.

Now how on earth will we get these dresses out of here without having to...urgh...fold them.

[video]

[deciderly]

Y'all haven't gotten out yet? [do you even WANT to leave, Rarity?]

[carouselboutique]

Now don't give me that look, Applejack. There were dresses to be made!

[deciderly]

Ah would think escapin' would be more important.

[carouselboutique]

My summer line is an important thing darling! Besides, with my boutique ruined, I might as well finish everything here before I go.

[bluesuit_hoofy]

Do you need someone to come rescue you? I know the last one was sort of botched, but, well. Sort of thought you'd've just left by now.

[carouselboutique]

Darling, you need to understand that I'm quite behind with my summer line, and with my boutique in ruins, I might as well finish it here before I attempt to leave.

[bluesuit_hoofy]

...How are you planning to get it all home?

[carouselboutique]

Honestly? I'm still trying to figure that part out.
