twilightpony | Vanity Hoof Powder

I dropped in on Rainbow Dash during my morning stroll and caught her at home before she stepped out on cloud patrol. She was wearing her slippers. Aha! I told her that I had a surprise gift for her and she lit up, but when I told her the sapphire jar contained hoof powder, she didn't know what to make of it. So I told her that in the winter, when we wear our boots, the air gets cut off to our hooves, and they get wet and smelly. The brush that comes with it helps get the powder into those deep crevices and that cures the smell. I told her this is the good stuff, it's what the princesses use. She thought the idea of princesses with smelly hooves was hilarious. OK, so I guess she liked the gift anyway.

Rarity was more... enthused. She is familiar with hoof powder and delighted that I had thought to get her a fresh vanity jar of the good stuff. While I was there, I found out that she's decided to go to Yakyakistan five days from now to buy cloth and that Pinkie is going with her. I jumped on the occasion to invite myself along! Back at the castle I wrote to Princess Cadence to arrange for a place to stay for two nights for three ponies. Before I sent the letter, I managed to get hold of Moondancer via Haycartes and convince her to go on a snowflake safari with me. So I changed the letter to two nights accommodation for four ponies, and sent it.

I forgot to ask Rarity about the Bridleway musical.
