Rarity sure is a go getter. She went to Manehattan yesterday to look into setting up a boutique and ended up with a choice location in the same day. When I met her, it was her dream to go to Canterlot to soak up the elegance and sophistication she expected to find there. And now, she's supplying Canterlot, and soon Manehattan too, with elegance and sophistication. Her new reality is outstripping her old expectations. She's full of surprises.

In the meantime, Rarity apparently has decided she needs gem stones. I'm not sure if it's to include in her designs, or to decorate her Manehattan boutique, or both. She's found a cave that is wall to wall quality gems. It's also home to a very large colony of bats. Spike told me that he will be accompanying her into the cave tomorrow as her bodyguard. I suspect he will be mostly helping her collect gems.

Starlight Glimmer left this morning for an overnight stay in Manehattan. She has apparently discovered a love for Bridleway musicals! She had bought a ticket to see Oatlahoma! in advance a few weeks ago. She had the chance to get a great seat and she leaped at the occasion. This show is sold out months in advance. She will be back late tomorrow afternoon.

This means it will be just me and the princesses at tea tomorrow. Baring emergencies, such as the Tree calling me on a Map Table quest, there will be a tea and a tour. There is so much we will be able to talk about! I've made a list. Magic, the Epona discovery, teaching, the behavior of constellations, the nature of time in the Canterlot High universe, the explosion of life in the Crystal Empire... So we can cover everything, I could set time limits on each subject!
