Rarity was in her shop making a new dress. She needed to make new dresses and restock the hangers. She'd been spending her entire day making new dresses and designs.
" What do you think Opal, sequins or feathers?" She asked her cat, using her horn to hold the materials. Her cat just glanced at her.
" Your right, I should use both. She added them onto her dress. Downstairs she heard the door. Rarity came down to see who it was. It was Applejack.
" Hello Applejack, what brings you here today." She said.
" Well, I was takin' a walk, when I saw some beautiful gems. And I thought you might want them." Rarity smiled.
" That's perfect for my new dress." She said, wanting to hop with excitement.
" Well come on then, I'll show ya where they are."

They walked into the Everfree forest.
"
Are you sure there are gems in here Applejack?" Rarity asked, a little frightened.
" They shouldn't be to far ahead." Applejack replied. She suddenly stopped and Rarity bumped into her. She fell down.
" I was sure I saw some gems here?" Applejack said, scratching her head.
" Oh well, why don't we head back then." Rarity replied.
" Wait! There they are!" Applejack said pointing to a bush. Rarity ran over to grab them. But on the other side of the bush, there was nothing. When she turned around Applejack was gone. She heard a hissing noise from the trees.
" Hello there." A voice said. She turned to face a massive python. She nearly fainted with fright.
" Do not be afraid. I am Kaa. And who might?" Kaa asked.
" I'm Rarity, have you happened to see any gems around here?" She said, looking around.
" Why yess, I did. Sssome poniess took them a little while ago." Kaa lied.
" Thank you, I should head back and finish my dress." Rarity turned and started walking away. Kaa had to think of something
quick.
" Wait. Could you maybe help me fix up my old ssscales. They're not as beautiful asss they ussed to be." Rarity couldn't refuse someone who needed beauty tips.
" Why of course I can." She said trotting over to Kaa. He lowered his tail down for her to look at. Rarity examined the green tail.
" Oh yes, you do need some fixing up. Nothing a little mud can't do." She found some mud and mixed it up with a bit of sand. She came over to rub it on. Before she could put it on, Kaa moved his tail. She kept trying to put the mud on.
" Hold still." She said, trying to put the mud on. He lifted his tail and Rarity met Kaa's color filled eyes. She dropped the mud and stared at him. Her eyes soon mimicked his.
" I think my sscales look jusst fine now." He teased her. Kaa brought his tail back down and wrapped Rarity up. Once she was fully wrapped, Kaa came closer to her.
" You can finissh your dresss tomorrow. It'sss time for you to resst." Kaa smiled. Rarity closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Below, Applejack came out from the bushes. She stood under the tree, ready for Kaa to get her. After setting Rarity on a branch with the other two sleeping pegasi, he brought his tail down, wrapped it around her, and hoisted her back into the tree. He set her on the branch with the other three.
" Time to go to sssleep Applejack." Kaa said, showing a few rings. Applejack laid down and fell asleep with the others. He was almost done, he had four of the six ponies. Only two to go.
