Fashion Senseless

Fashion Senseless is the 26th Episode of Season 3B of the SpongeBob and Friends Adventures Chronicles series. A normal day in Rarity's Manehatten Shop turns into utter excitment when Vogue Polomare returned with good news that she was able to build just enough money in thanks to Rarity's latest collection from Fake It Til You Make It about inner spirit to finally meet Cinch's price tag in owning a building in the Crystal Empire. Thus cameth the rise of Rarity's latest shop: Rarity's Transparenty Pleasentries, the store that is the epicenter of reveilised Crystal Empirian Garb, which was kinda a term of agreement set in by Cinch. The Main 6 came to congratulate Rarity on this, but suddenly the store was interupted by a barrage of fanfare, as arriving forth is the fashion store monopolist, Lady Mode Femme Reine, the largest owner of fashion stores in all of Equestria, who came to offer the quickly growing Rarity a partnership with her monopoly empire, though Vogue tries to tell Rarity not to, saying that Lady Mode looks too good to be true, but when Mode brought up that if Rarity can trust someone with a shady past like Vogue, then Rarity has no issue with trusting Mode, of which Rarity signed the legal contract, leaving Mode to hand over her daughter, Eye Beholder, one of Equestria's most reknown super-models to personally work with Rarity for her designs. However, things take a drastic turn when Rarity's beta-stage designs kept showing up in Lady Mode's own stores, leading customers away from Rarity's stores and into Mode's. When Vogue brings up that Mode is behind this, and tries to point to Beholder as the one apart of it, Rarity and friends accused Vogue of being jealious and being quick to blame the wrong person. When Suri hears of this, dispite having her own doubts, she knows her mother well enough that Vogue has her reasons for the rash claims, and thus, the Shell Lougers ger involved. However, it was discovered that Eye Beholder was caught stealing more designs AND some vulerable infomation about the Friendship School, the captured Eye Beholder was forced to admit that her mother was making her do this by having her modeling career in a vice-grip in that Mode was behind her status as a model to begin with, and reveiled that she was once a chancellor for the E.E.A., stating that her reasons for going after both the School and Rarity's career is because in the E.E.A. being disbanded because of the school, she counts it as messing with her. Mode's business fashion empire is too powerful to harm with typical tactics, and too risky for Beholder's career, which is why the best way to beat Mode is through Fluttershy's inner personas, Snootyshy, Valleyshy, and Emoshy, to embarise and frustrate Mode and her clientele AND her benefactors until Mode is forced to admit her monolopy of sins. Can they succeed?

Chapter 1: One Day in the Boutique/Vogue's Big News
Equestria Twilight's Castle
 * Rarity and Sweetie Belle were seen setting up the Boutique for a busy day.
 * Rarity: "(Was levitating a few things) So glad magic is back to working order after that messy Star Butterfly business was resolved. Now I can prepare for an extremely busy day of responding to so many delayed orders."
 * Sweetie Belle was pulling on a giant box of cloths.
 * Sweetie Belle: "Thank goodness Applebloom and Scootaloo were cool about me coming in late today when I told them you needed my help to get the store ready when Spike had to go do some ambassitoring to that underground dinosaur place cause his parents wanted to throw him a HUGE party."
 * Rarity: "Well, we have to understand that Spike finally found his biological family and wants to make up for lost time."
 * Sweetie Belle: "And I'm happy for him, don't get me wrong. I just sort've forgot how much heavy lifting helping you with the booty-kay was."
 * Rarity: It's pronounced 'boutique'. B-O-U-T-I-Q-U-E. Can you please learn Prance?
 * Sweetie Belle: I know that. Just let kids be kids please. Besides, couldn't you have gotten your other fashion friends to help?"
 * Rarity: "Sassy Saddles and my employees in Manehatten have their hooves tied for delayed orders as well."
 * Sweetie Belle: "Well what about Suri's mom?"
 * Rarity: "Miss Vogue is still doing the Crystal Empire Shop proposing and has warned that getting one may take time, and I don't want to interrupt her and drag her all the way out from the Christail Empire just for menuial things. Besides, I also barely heard from her since that day, so I suspect it's still an ongoing process. After all, short of her original suggestion of selling of the other stores, buying a spot in the Crystal Empire would take DECADES thanks to the fact Miss Cinch is a notorious hardsell when it comes to having stores in the Crystal."
 * Sweetie Belle: "Well, why not attempt to contact her to see if she's doing okay? Cause, I hear that Cinch lady can be, very strict."
 * Rarity: ".... Good point, Sweetie. Especially since Vogue has a rather, checkered past. I'll have to be sure to check up on her and-" (Vogue suddenly burst in)
 * Vogue: RARITYYYYY!!
 * Rarity: Goodness gracious!! Um... Vogue?... How's it been since... Certain things?
 * Vogue: Well would you believe I mistook that clone of yours for you until she was haunted with the alternate reality turning her evil involving accidentally murdering me and my family?
 * Rarity:... Possibly. You really haven't seen me much, have you?
 * Vogue: Not at all. Anyway, I have an announcement to make. After a lot of time convincing Cinch to go through with it, along with buttering her up by inviting her to some of the biggest social events in all of Equestria, and some rich friends agreeing to help pay for her price of a new shop, further added by the residuals of your latest collection from manehatten, alchourse, well.... I got you a shop now!
 * Rarity was dumbfounded....
 * Rarity: "You managed, to get me a shop, IN THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE?!"
 * Sweetie Belle: "(Hyper-pitched cute voice) THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE?!"
 * Vogue: "Yes! It's scheduled for a grand opening at the end of the week!"
 * Rarity: "Vogue, I don't what to say, except thank you, obviously."
 * Vogue: "Don't thank me yet! We need to have your new store, Transparenty Pleasantries, ready for business."
 * Rarity: "Oh goodness, that's a good point! (Zooms off and gathers a lot of supplies, fashion samples, and a lot of briefcases ready for the trip) Sweetie Belle, I'm going to attend with my new store, can I, uh, trust you to handle everything on your own?"
 * Sweetie Belle: "Well actually this is the perfect excuse to bring some campers that aspire to be fashion divas like you to help up! I'll get your orders covered in a jiffy!"
 * Rarity: "Oh thank you Sweetie Belle, (Hugs Sweetie Belle) You're a life saver."
 * Rarity and Vogue left.
 * Sweetie Belle sighed happily on how much she came with Rarity for a good while now. Though now she realizes that she'll have to handle alot of delayed orders....
 * Sweetie Belle: "..... Definitely better getting started on getting some help with this."
 * A crudely-disguised Discord as literally a lamp of himself had overheard this and teleported off chuckling.
 * Discord: "So yeah, Rarity now has a piece of the Crystal Empire on her shoulders."
 * Fluttershy: "That's wonderful news."
 * Rainbow Dash: "Wow, Rarity's moving quick! First Canterlot, Manehatten, and now the Crystal Empire. At this point, Las Pegasus will be next!"
 * Applejack: "Rarity's really moving up in the world."
 * Pinkie Pie: "A shame Spike had to visit his parents in Saurusia, he would've been proud!"
 * Twilight: "I'll be sure he'll be told about it when he comes back."
 * Starlight: "Well assuming Queen Quetzal didn't end up foreseeing this would happen to Rarity, and tells Spike about it, prompting him to reschedule the visit as he would fly faster than Rainbow Dash to come all the way back here and-"
 * (Spike): "YOU GO RARITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY- (Spike crashes right through the roof and slams into the table)......"
 * Spike: "..... Really got too excited there. I really need to master this Dragon Realmian Purple Dragon Speed stuff. I'm thinking having Spyro or my mom tutor me on that, maybe even Lavulite when she's not too busy with that 'reviving the Unity' stuff. It's just, I'm really happy for Rarity!"
 * Rainbow Dash: "Cuz' it might give ya more excuses to be with your Crystal Empire fans? (Coyfully laughs)."
 * Spike: "Tee-hee, ha-ha, very funny, rolling on the floor. Though not inaccurate, it's because I'm proud of Rarity from coming so far from just having a shop in Ponyville. I bet ya at this point, she might have a shop in Las Pegasus."
 * Rainbow Dash: I KNOW, RIGHT?!
 * Discord: Either that or you still haven't gotten a girlfriend your age and think Rarity would ever want someone below the age of consent. That Quartz girl looks to be into you.
 * Spike: Hey, we're friends.
 * Discord: Oh, are you? MmmmmMMMMMMMMM?!
 * Spike: If you don't drop this, I'll rip off both your legs and then LITERALLY KICK WHAT'S LEFT OF YOUR ASS WITH THEM!!!
 * Discord: Ohhh I'm so scared. The baby dragon thinks he's grown horns- (Spike literally tore his legs off and started spanking his butt with them) You're lucky that as a Draconequus, my legs are detachable.
 * Spike: "I know, that's why I can get away with doing that. Also, remember you're talking to the baby dragon that defeated The Black Emperor."
 * Discord: "I get it, I shouldn't sass you because of it. But fair's fair, Shen has had a part in beating some Outers as well, and I still tease him just fine. But mad respect though, Equestria is so better off without having a rogue Eraser breathing down our necks."
 * Applejack: "Well I'm proposing we got and congratulate Rarity on her latest venture."
 * Rarity: (Burst in) EVERYPONY!!!!!! I HAVE THE MOST INCREDIBLE NEWS!!!
 * Spike: That you got a boutique in the Crystal Empire?
 * Rarity: NO, I JUST GOT A BOUTIQUE IN THE CRYSTAL M-... What?
 * Twilight: Discord told us.
 * Rarity:... DISCORD, WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT PEEKING ON OTHERS' BUSINESS?!
 * Discord: "Oh relax, I was mostly ensuring you'd have plenty of time getting to the Crystal Empire."
 * Spike: "Also, he's Discord. Subtly's not his thing."
 * Rarity: Well I can't even have privacy without worrying about this fugly freakazoid violating it.
 * Freakazoid: (Randomly appears) Someone call?
 * Pinkie: Not you, Freakazoid.
 * Freakazoid: Oh. Sorry. (Disappears)
 * Discord: Oh, please, I do this all the time... That's not helping me.
 * Rarity: OKAY, THAT'S IT!! I'M CALLING BLACK KAT AND TEACHING YOU SOME MANNERS!!
 * Discord: NONONONONO, WE DON'T NEED TO BRING HER INTO-
 * ???: DISSY, I'M HOOOOOOOOME!!
 * Discord: NOW SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE?! (Black Kat appeared) UHHHM, HIII, BABE... Uh... You get a something-icure?
 * Black Kat: You heard the fashionista. You need another friendship lesson. Friendship Lesson #858: RESPECTING PRIVACY!! (Discord tried to run with a cartoon sound effect as she grabbed him and teleport-snapped away with him)
 * Rarity:... Works every time.
 * Fluttershy: Shame on you, Rarity! You can't change who Discord is. Remember what happened when he tried to be less like himself? He almost succumbed to a ghostly fading morality illness.
 * Twilight: And don't get me started on that Accord incident where he was too orderly.
 * Rarity: Ugh, well pardon me for being upset he was being nosey for the unknownth time in a row. Besides, it's a good excuse to toss him into another date.
 * Pinkie: Totally. This world needs a lot of exposition and building since our show's finally over, and we're stuck in events before the big Season 3B finale because the School of Friendship Arc for SAF hasn't caught up yet, which I guess it'll have an easier time NOW because it's over. By now the time inconsistencies don't make sense. Kinda why that Divergent Timeline stuff is a thing now. We should be older by now. Rarity should have a gray stripe in her hair and some wrinkles. I should have candy in my hair. Personally I think the Backgammon stuff should come AFTER the finale as opposed to the finale BEFORE that fina- (*SPOILER ALARM*)... Oops. Spoiler Alert. I was wondering when this old joke would come ba- (The off-screen neuralyzer flashed)... Did I just spoil too much?
 * Twilight: Sure did. Anyway, Rarity, we are very happy for you. In fact, we're going with you to give you a little help.
 * Rarity: "A little unnecessary since Vogue has everything covered, but not unwelcomed. Besides, I would like you to see Transparenty Pleasantries."
 * Applejack: "Beg yer pardon, and I ain't usually much for spellin', but, "Transparenty" ain't a real word."
 * Rarity: "Vogue mostly gave it that name, not me. I will discuss making some twicks, however."
 * Pinkie: I think it's clever. It's 'Transparency' AND 'Rarity' combined.
 * Twilight: Well it's off to the Crystal Empire.
 * Discord: (Comes in through a portal being held by Black Kat) HELP MEEEEEE, MY GIRLFRIEND'S CRAZY!!!! (He was pulled back away)
 * Rarity: (Chuckles) Indeed.
 * Twilight: "Give Discord this. He may still got a LOOOONG way to go, but he IS good for a laugh.... Jokes can be hit or miss though."
 * Pinkie: ANOTHER GREAT DAY LIKELY TO HAVE ANOTHER EPISODE-WORTHY PROBLEM!! AWAAAAAAY!!! (The Other Main 7 rolled their eyes at that)

Chapter 2: Rarity's New Crystal Empire Shop, Transparenty Pleasantries
Crystal Empire. Location of the Store.
 * The Train arrived at the station.
 * Spike: (The Main 7, Spike and Vogue got off) Sometimes it's redundant to me, Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash, as well as Starlight to some degree with her self-levitation, to take the train when, you know, we can fly. Seems like a waste of bits if you ask me.
 * Twilight: Well, you have to remember, Spike, most of our friends don't really fly. Also, Cinch is REALLY strict about people just FLYING into the Crystal Empire without going through the Train Inspections.
 * A Pegasus Couple tried to land in, but Chrystal guards intersected them!
 * Cinch: "(Shows up) Why can't ponies get that I want to the empire to have visitors come in organized! Just because you didn't take the train doesn't mean you're immune to inspections! Now come with me, you two! (Magically drags the couple over)...."
 * Pegasus Male: "..... Honey, you were right, taking the train even when we can fly IS less of a hassle."
 * Pegasus Female: "I TRIED TELLING YOU?!"
 * Spike: Right. Good point. Sorry for complaining.
 * Rarity: Oh, it's fine, dear Spike.
 * Cinch just noticed the arriving Main 7, Vogue and Spike.
 * Cinch: "Ahh, Miss Rarity, very punctual of you to arrive ahead of your store's official grand opening. (Hands over the Pegasus couple to the guards that took them to train inspections) Now, I hope you bunch don't mind having to attend with inspections as well. It's nothing personal, but it wouldn't be fair for other passengers that you 7 got prefeiral treatment just because you're famous. Even Spike has to make an example and go through them."
 * Twilight: "Alchourse. Though, I ask why you started doing this?"
 * Cinch: "Oh, this was something I always wanted the Crystal Empire to always have had from the beginning. Though I only got that now because the Fritz had happened. Back when magic was on the decline, I went to ensure that the Crystal Empire wasn't subjugated to an easy takeover by even so much as a non-magic powered threat. So, I had to step up my game and open up the train inspection services and opened up stricter standards for migrations to the empire. Kinda why I had to be strict to that Pegasus couple."
 * Rainbow Dash: "Well, now that magic's getting better, ya do realize that Cadance and Shining Armor are gonna eventually tone all this down."
 * Cinch: "Ugh, I'm aware. That's why I'm making the most of this perfectly organized system before that inevitability. Especially since some ponies had the rude nerve to actually complain about it."
 * Applejack: "Probably cuz of personal space issues these inspections are violating."
 * A Passenger was heard shouting comedically!
 * Fluttershy: ".... Oh..... My."
 * Applejack: ".... I also don't think the butt-inspections help neither."
 * Starlight: "I back that statement."
 * Cinch: "Pardon me for looking out for contraband being taking to the empire!"
 * Twilight: "I know you are only trying to keep this place safe, and it was fine back when the Fritz was an issue, but now, it's just starting to get.... Really awkward. What if the School of Friendship were to field trip here one day, and they had to go through- (Another comical scream was heard).... That? It'll end up raising, alot of eyebrows. Especially with respected dignitaries or those connected to big leaders, and that could risk the Crystal Empire being open to public scrutiny, especially since some students, ARE RELATED to certain high figures."
 * Cinch: "..... I, see your point."
 * Twilight: So unless you want your guards to be accused of sexual harassment and abuse, you might want to do cavity searches the traditional way with magic.
 * Cinch: Well not all of us have it. Earth ponies and Pegasi have to do it the gross way. Especially those foolish traditionalists out there who would frankly have been happy magic is gone, since some forbid its use during Seasonal Wrap-Ups, ignoring the fact that THEY ARE USING MAGIC!! WITHOUT IT, IT'D BE LIKE TRYING TO STOP NATURE!!! IT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE!!
 * Applejack: You do realize that I'm a traditionalist.
 * Cinch: Precisely! It makes me sick with the sheer hypocrisy you traditionalists display. You forbid magic in the Seasonal Wrap-Ups because of tradition, and yet you're still using it to control clouds, temperature, conditions, hibernation cycles, and so on.
 * Applejack: "It's meant to be more like using magic in its PUREST form is out of the question. It's different when it was like the more innate stuff like magic inside us and based on what your talent is. Ponyvillians before a lot of Unicorns got in Ponyville had to do things the hard way and never got unicorn magic involved in the slightest."
 * Cinch: That's fine and all, but it's still a bit ironic that you okay magic only if it's a part of specific biology and not the purest form. Also, you berated Twilight, A CANTERLOTIAN, and Celestia's MOST PERSONAL STUDENT, for trying something new, and yet you're supposed to be any better?
 * Applejack: WELL EXCUSE US FOR ONLY PREFERING EARTH PONY MAGIC SINCE PONYVILLE WAS FOUNDED BY SUCH!!! It was before Pegasi and Unicorns really had the chance to move into Ponyville!
 * Cinch: Nevertheless, it doesn't ease on how drastically dated those traditions are. This kind of thing is why the Second Windigo Ice Age occurred. Lack of coexistence and teamwork with the other pony tribes. But I'm getting off track. It hardly matters. This is the Crystal Empire, where UNICORNS decide the rules.
 * Applejack: UGH!!! I can see why Rarity took a while to get a shop up and runnin' here, y'all really ARE a REAL piece of work!
 * Twilight: OKAY, CAN WE STOP WITH THE RACISM BEFORE SOMEPONY SAYS SOMETHING THEY'LL REGRET?!
 * Cinch: I was GETTING to that. Come. I shall escort you to Miss Rarity's new boutique.
 * The group sets off.
 * Vogue: "..... Uh, I, apologize you had to go through that, Rarity. I think she's still going through residual stress from the Fritz."
 * Rarity: "It's fine. I think we can all agree it's nice to have magic back."
 * Applejack: Well given what she said back there, I don't think that's completely true. Who does she think she is insulting me like that?
 * Rarity: Applejack, really, this isn't about you. It's about me. Not meaning to sound self-centered of course, but you know what I mean. Let's not forget what I taught you about insulting opinions. Now, I won't disagree that Cinch should've been more, understanding, but I'm sure she'd met traditionalists that, weren't as nice as you are trying to be, Applejack, so, we do have to see where her bitterness comes from.
 * Applejack: Ugh. You're right. I did meet some ponies like that myself. Ain't crazy for them neither. But I just hope that's the only time something like that is brought up.
 * Twilight: You can't really blame her too much. Her magic school has a valedictorian named Chatoyance who was heavily affected by the Fritz. It was the first feeling of betrayal and pain since Rough Diamond betrayed everything they both stood for through racism against Changelings, even if it was before the mass reformation. It tends to get to you. Now that magic is back, Chatoyance has become an introverted but still high-scoring student. Unfortunately she never learns at her school anymore. She just magically views it through magic view portals. She's pretty powerful, but she has shut herself off.
 * Pinkie: Aww, just like Moondancer.
 * Twilight: Not really. She was more active than Chatoyance. Chatoyance just uses her magic to do things she had to go outside for like getting groceries and even attending school. In fact, recently magical deeds have been getting done here. (Magic was seen operating in many helpful ways across the Crystal Empire including stopping traffic accidents, saving people, cleaning litter, magically teleporting criminals to prison, and even rebuilding destroyed houses from the events of Black Emperor's attacks)... That's Chatoyance doing some good deeds with magic. She's just been completely demoralized ever since she heard the reason magic was destroyed.
 * Applejack:... Wow. Well ain't no wonder Cinch was such a jerk. She misses seein' her valedictorian in person.
 * Rarity: I'm sure we can handle that later. We have to see my grand addition to this chatoyant town.
 * Cinch: "(Deadpan) You ponies do know I can hear you all, correct?"
 * Fluttershy: "Oh, sorry. You weren't meant to hear that."
 * Cinch: "It's fine, it's fine, it's part of what you girls do, resolve social issues.... Also, I appreciate the thoughts, but, let's hold that off for a bit. This is about Rarity's new store, "Transparenty Pleasantries" after all.... The name needs work, getting that out there."
 * Vogue: "We know, we know, it's a working title."
 * It was revealed to be a grand and beautiful, if though a bit aged, crystalline building as the group entered.
 * Cinch: "You'll have to pardon the buildings' rustic nature. Time was not kind to it."
 * Rarity: "Yes, there is a bit of a noticable restoration project, though thankfully not as bad as the Manehatten building, but otherwise this building is beautiful for what it is."
 * Vogue: "Just wait until after we get this place ready for the grand opening."
 * Rarity: I hope to Celestia that it goes better than the one in Manehattan.
 * Vogue: Oh, we have better staff and much better accommodations than that place. Manehattan is a rustic place of capitalism and selfishness compared to us.
 * Applejack: Hey, my Aunt and Uncle Orange live in Manehattan! I'm sure they take great offense at that!
 * Cinch: Miss Vogue!
 * Vogue: What? It's true.
 * Cinch: Vogue, we do not want to come off like that. Shame on you.
 * Vogue: Okay fine, whatever! Let's go right in.
 * Cinch: Good. We better not have anything like that again.
 * Vogue: "Fair's fair, I had a rough exspearience with that city, I can be pardoned for expressing a rogue opinion. Anyway, besides the point, Rarity, I will spare no expense getting Transparenty Pleasentres up and ready to go before the end of the week."
 * Rarity: Simply Magnifique.
 * ???: EXACTLY! (A shunning pony appeared inside the boutique)
 * Rarity:... Y... YOU GOT THE FAMOUS MAGNIFIQUE MANE HERE?!
 * Vogue: Yes indeed. Spared no expense.
 * Rainbow Dash: "Uh, Rarity, care to explain who is "Magnifique Mane" to those of us not fashion savvy like you?"
 * Rarity: (Gasps deeply) YOU DON'T KNOW WHO MAGNIFIQUE MANE IS?! DO YOU PONIES LIVE IN A CAVE?! (Quickly composes herself)
 * Pinkie: "Well technically, Twilight and Fluttershy live in trees, Rainbow Dash lives in a cloud, and I live/work with the Cakes."
 * Starlight: "Well, I stayed in a cave all the way back in Season 5 of the actual show, but other then that-"
 * Rarity: "Ahem! Tecnecalities aside, I'm surprised you don't know who THE Magnifique Mane is!"
 * Applejack: "Well Rainbow made clear we're not as savvy to the fashion industry as you are, Rarity."
 * Rarity: ".... Well yes, but it's still a shocker that you wouldn't know about THE Magnifique Mane!"
 * Rainbow Dash: Then who is she?
 * Magnifique: "I need no help in le introduction, darling. I can introduse myself. I am among le top three brand names of big time fashion ponies. The bringer of fab and the exiler of the drab. I put the P in Phat!"
 * Pinkie: "Isn't that usually an F Word?"
 * Rainbow Dash: "She means Phat with a Ph, Pinks."
 * Magnifique: "I am also noted for introducing, and self-modeling, for many of the most fabulous themed wears and clothes in any part of Equestria. And I would like to offer alot of ideas to resurge fashion back to a kingdom that has been gone for nearly a millenia. I had always admired Crystal Empire fashion, and I would just LOVE to bring that lost art back into this place and then some into Equestria! It's practically a dream come true! One of course, I don't mind sharing with the up and coming Miss Rarity. An honor, really."
 * Rarity: "EEEE?! SHE SAID IT'S AN HONOR?! (Faints and got grabbed by Spike)."
 * Rainbow Dash: ".... And people say I fangasm too hard."
 * Twilight: Well, is there anypony else you brought here?
 * Vogue: "Well, I hired the best construction crew of Fillydelpia to come and sprouse up the place. The Builder Boys are REAL professionals. They'll turn this old relic new again. I also hired a professional marketer that's MAGNIFISENT with advertisements."
 * Rarity: "Well I will want to talk to him/her first and foremost so to avoid another Sassy Saddles situation."
 * Vogue: "Quite quite, we wouldn't want a repeat of THAT fiasco. I also asked my daughter Suri to recimend some professional sewers, designers, fabric exberts and even some historians well versed in Christailian Imperial Fastion so to make the fastion accreate, yet reintroduse it to the modern world, to come to seek work with us. They're gonna be a GREAT help in this!"
 * Rarity: "Well typically I make my own ideas, but I wouldn't mind showing it to them so they know what to work with."
 * Vogue: "And finally, I'm going to be holding an audition with Miss Mane's help to get models attention so they can model the designs for Transparenty Pleasentries, and I hired Abvertisements'R'Us to send out flyers and posters that'll surely get a lot of models', aspiring or yet, attention!"
 * Rarity: "Goodness! I don't think it was just Cinch's price you were trying to pay. That's a lot of ponies I'm gonna have to consider having to pay."
 * Vogue: "Oh don't worry, the Marketer has a personal accountant working along side them, they'll cover the payment issue."
 * Rarity: "Well no wonder you wanted me to sell my other stores! Having a shop in the Crystal Empire is, extremely heavy maintenance!"
 * Vogue: "Kinda comes with being a christailian epicenter of all love in Equestria, really. I imagine even having built this kingdom didn't come cheaply."
 * Cinch: "Well it depends on how the buildings themselves were made and the maintainence needed to keep them shining, actually."
 * Rarity: ".... I'm starting to think Transparenty Pleasantries may require more attention than I was prepared for."
 * Vogue: "Don't worry, I am aiming to work with you every step of the way to make sure that when we're done, the store will mostly be able to handle itself."
 * Rarity: Excellent. We'll need all the help we can get. The last few times were disasters.
 * Vogue: Well I assure you this will be different.
 * Cinch: I wouldn't get my hopes up.
 * Rarity: Oh no! I want this to go without any trouble. I've had enough baggage in spreading my career as it is.
 * Cinch: Miss Rarity, you can't expect everything to play in your favor. I learned that the hard way when I tried to push up a reputation for my school. Crystal Prep has suffered enough with the impact of the Fritz. Chatoyance refuses to even talk to me. I even lost my best sports team and Indigo Zap.
 * Rainbow Dash: Wait, she attended your school? We were classmates in Flight School... And she was a big jackass. Hell, she's Lightning Dust's cousin and the daughter of a Shadowbolt.
 * Cinch: Of course. Crystal Prep can enhance an Earth pony or Pegasus's magic. I may not have much respect for either, but I accept them in my school because, at the end of the day, they still have magic. She came to get some magical 'pizzazz' with her friends. But point is, you have to watch out for ponies that know you and might want to use you. In fact, do I understand that your Friendship School has earned some scorn from former E.E.A. members?
 * Applejack: "Well not all of them, and at most we only had problems with Neighsay, and O'Hardknocks that one time. Nothing came up since."
 * Cinch: "Likely because they're oppertunists, and/or because the fritz slowed them down. But mostly the first thing. Because now that magic is back, I suspect one of such of these Ex-E.E.A. members may seek to cause some issues."
 * Starlight: "Well unless any of them were fashion savvy, I doubt even Neighsay would really care that much for-"
 * Cinch: "Keep in mind that the E.E.A. DID covered fashion schools. So obviously there may had been a member that had the E.E.A. support such things. I'm just trying to give a fair warning ahead of time, because I suspect your issues with the ex-members are JUST getting started."
 * Twilight: "Hmm.... I'll be sure to send a message to Celestia to post me about any fashion-savvy E.E.A. members just to be safe. Thanks for telling us this, Cinch."
 * Cinch: "Your welcome. Otherwise, I wish you, a happy venture. (Leaves)."
 * Vogue: ".... Alright ladies, (Spike cleared throat)..... And one male baby dragon, let's get this store ready for business."
 * Twilight: Spike?
 * Spike: Way ahead of you. I'm writing a letter to Celestia to watch out for any EEA trouble.
 * Twilight: Good. We don't want this to be another disaster like the others.
 * Rarity: It better stay that way. After the fritz, I could use some good fortune.

Chapter 3: Lady Mode and Eye Beholder/Mother Lode
Meanwhile... Lady Mode's office. Crystal Empire. Meanwhile... Diamond Hotel. The Following Day. Dressing room. Runway. Later... Later. Outside Later... Dragon Guardian Temple. Back to Equestria. Meanwhile... Manehatten. Later... Later... Later, this process ended up repeated in the other banks in Manehatten. Meanwhile...
 * A Large Skyscraper was seen towering above even the tallest building in Manehatten as the sign on it read "Royaume De La Mode Société", translated as "Kingdom of Fashion Corperation", as inside the building was countless apawn countless sewers sewing clothes in an organised row, designers working tirelessly for the next masterpiece, and models standing on a convayor belt to put on the latest design.
 * A trio of big businessy over-seers watched all this unfold.
 * Old Crippled Business Pony: "(Over intercom) Keep it moving, ladies. Lady Mode expects this to be ready soon."
 * Fat Business Pony: "(On same intercom) We have a lot of delayed orders to catch up and right in time for Friendship Feast season."
 * Scrawny Idiot Business Pony: "(Licking a lollipop)..... (The Fat Business Pony smacked him) OW?! Oh, oh, (To same intercom) OR NO PAY NOR BONUS?!..... (Off Intercom) How's that, fellas?"
 * Old Crippled Business: "Eh, delayed as usual, Under-Pay."
 * Under-Pay: "I'm sorry fellas, I just REALLY liked my lolli! I have a sweet-tooth for sweets!"
 * Fat Business Pony: "They're not considerably healthy, you know, Under-Pay."
 * Under-Pay: "Hey come on, Overtime, like you're in any position to talk about health with YOUR weight."
 * Overtime: "Oh why you little-"
 * Old Crippled Business Pony: "BOTH OF YOU ENOUGH?! We're business ponies, be professional!"
 * Under-Pay/Overtime: "Yes, Mr. Corprete."
 * Mr. Corprete: "Good, good. Lady Mode will be pleased with me yet. (Sees a beautiful elegant purple-maned blue unicorn running down the room).... Oh, bother..... It's Eye Beholder again. And so much for a normal day in the office."
 * Under-Pay: "Oh what does miss Pretty-Pretty want now?"
 * Overtime: "Something stupid, I'm sure."
 * Eye Beholder came into the trio's over-see office!
 * Eye Beholder: "Mr. Corprete, Overtime, Under-Pay, I know you three are VERY busy, but I got big news to tell my mother!"
 * Mr. Corprete: "(Points cane at her while spinning chair to face Eye Beholder) Can't it wait, Miss Beholder, we are under a tight schedule."
 * Overtime: "Extremely tight."
 * Under-Pay: "Tighter then Overtime's old navy uniform. (Overtime smacked Under-Pay across the room) AYYYE, SAVE MY LOLLY?! (Crashes into a bookshelf and gets covered in books)..... Oh no, now my lolly's gonna taste like knowledge?!"
 * Overtime: Maybe that's a good thing. (Overtime and Mr. Corprete laughed)
 * Eye Beholder: "But guys! There's something I wanna try in the Crystal Empire! This is my chance to work with Rarity in the first time ever, I love her dresses and-"
 * Mr. Corprete: "UP UP?!..... Did you say, "Rarity"?"
 * Overtime: "The rising upstart from Ponyville?"
 * Under-Pay: "(Comes back with book stuck to lollipop) The pretty white Unicorn with the pretty purple hair? The one I fell in love with at first sight? The one I dedicated a shrine too with all of her pictures adorned to it? The one who- (Eye-Beholder, Overtime and Mr. Corprete were all stareing at Under-Pay awkwardly)..... I mean, I didn't say anything after the first thing, DON'T JUDGE ME?!"
 * Eye Beholder: "(Rolls eyes) Yes, I mean the one and the same. I always wanted to work with her, and it be cool to see the Crystal Empire! I need mother's permission!"
 * The trio looked at each other, then smiled like a bunch of corprete stooges.
 * Mr. Corprete: ".... But of course, Beholder. Who are we to stand in the way of your mother? (Presses a button) BEAN COUNTER, PENCIL PUSHER, MODE'S DAUGHTER WANTS TO SEE THE BOSS, LET HER IN WHEN YOU SEE HER?!"
 * Duel Female voices: "Yes Mr. Corprete."
 * Eye Beholder: "Oh you guys are the best! (Trots off)...."
 * The trio started snickering like muttleys about developments."
 * Eye Beholder pass through two secretary ponies doing major paperwork, and entered into a room that was more like the living room of a mansion then an office building, as a pony resemblent to Zesty Gourmand with a syntehtic fur coat, petting a pixie poodle and being tended to by servents as Eye Beholder excitedly got to her. This was Lady Mode.
 * Eye Beholder: "Mom, you'll never guess what! I have a great fashion related news!"
 * Lady Mode: "Eye, I know all there is to know about fashion. Nothing ever escapes my notice."
 * Eye Beholder: "Well what about this: Rarity, the new up and coming fashion designer from Ponyville, has opened up a store in the Crystal Empire. Isn't that great?!"
 * Lady Mode did a spittake with some wine she was taking, as the Pixie Poodle did the same with her water bowl!
 * Lady Mode: "..... Rarity has WHAT?! HOW DID THIS ESCAPE MY NOTICE?! WHERE IS MY GRIFFIN GOSSIP STOOL PIGEON?!"
 * Eye Beholder: "I'm surprised I got here first before he-"
 * A Griffin with the parts of a pigeon and an alley cat crashed into the window comedically!
 * Eye Beholder used magic to open the window and let the Griffin clumsly crash in!
 * Griffin: "OY, THAT SMARTS!!"
 * Lady Mode: "..... YOU WERE LATE, STOOL PIGEON!! MY OWN DAUGHTER GOT TO ME WITH A LATEST DEVELOPMENT BEFORE YOU DID, YOU CLUMSY LOUT!"
 * Stool Pigeon: "(Gets up) I'm sorry, Miss Mode! I was held up by train inspections! Ponies shoved up cold hard hooves right up my-"
 * Lady Mode: "Trop D'informations!"
 * Stool Pigeon: "...... I'm sorry, what?"
 * Lady Mode: "..... IT'S PRANCE FOR TOO MUCH INFO, YOU UNCULTURED SWINE!!"
 * Stool Pigeon: "I never learned Prance, I grew up in Griffinstone! Education's downhill there!"
 * Eye Beholder: "Ahem.... Anyway, mom, I know you have a thing about me modeling for competing designers, but, I was hoping if you'd let me work for Miss Rarity, even if only temporary? I rarely ask too much from you, and, I always wanted to try her fashion designs! They're so beautiful, and I think I'd look great in them, and-"
 * Lady Mode: "(Sceamey smile) But of course you can work with Miss Rarity..... (Darkly) Under one condition."
 * Eye Beholder got nervous. She sees there this is going....
 * Eye Beholder: "..... Mom, we talked about this, I thought you weren't gonna do THAT anymore!"
 * Stool Pigeon: "Wait, do what exactly?"
 * Lady Mode: "Fipixfi, Quittez-le maintenant!"
 * Fipixfi suddenly scowled with a sound of a gong playing as the pixie poodle began doing karate poses!
 * Stool Pigeon: "DAHHH?! WAIT WAIT WAIT NOT AGAI- (Fipixfi leaped up and multi-flipped and charged at Stool Pigeon, beating him up and smacking up out of the door, beating him up along the way)......"
 * Eye Beholder: "Mom, I talked with you many times about your bad habit! It's not healthy nor in good karma!"
 * Lady Mode: "Have you not noticed on how great my empire is because of how I asked you these favors, Beholder? It wouldn't have gotten this way if I haven't..... "Borrowed" the ideas of others."
 * Eye Beholder: "Ugh, I can never be able to ask to work with other fashion designers without being expected to steal ideas for you! I mean, didn't you hear what happened to Suri when she took an idea from Rarity?! SHE'S STILL RECOVERING FROM THE LAWSUIT!!!"
 * Lady Mode: "Another small-timer is one thing, but I, Lady Mode Femme Reine, am UNSUABLE! I have lawyers, FOR MY LAWYERS?! I can buy any judge to obey my whim! I have enough money to practically buy out half of Equestria! I could even buy Celestia's right to rule if I wanted to!"
 * Eye Beholder: "Oh sure, you got VERY lucky, but luck can run out, you know!"
 * Lady Mode: "Eye, it's not just because I like Miss Rarity's little fashion designs.... Have you heard of the School of Friendship?"
 * Eye Beholder: "Who hasn't?"
 * Lady Mode: "Well, as you know, I used to be a Chancellor in the E.E.A.-"
 * Eye Beholder: "Purely for status because how pregitious a position there is! You barely care for education other then the fashion schools!"
 * Lady Mode: "Outre le point, jeune mademoiselle! It was something for me to be proud of. The allure of desiding the educational fates of millions, if not trillions, of youths, to have education providers groveling at my hooves, the E.E.A. Banquits, even having Celestia requesting permission to do anything, THAT was real power, Beholder. But then, that Friendship School came and RUINED IT?! And thus, c'est la vie, the fun times were over.... And just when we were gonna have O'Hardknocks take over from University too, but Neighsay HAD TO BE A BUFFOON ABOUT ONE BAD HAPPENSTANCE AND- (Calms down for a bit with breathing exercises and a quick sip of wine)..... Point is, I feel like an eye for an eye is in order with Miss Rarity, Beholder, so, if you can also gather any inconvenient weaknesses about the school, scandalous affairs and the like and report them to our paparazzi lacky in Stool Pigeon so that school will be SLAPPED with le controverse sur, (Grins like Chesure cat) That'd be greaaaaaaaaaat."
 * Eye Beholder: "WHY DO YOU ALWAYS MAKE ME DO THIS?!"
 * Lady Mode: Because I'm your mother, and thus you do what I say.
 * Eye Beholder: Well it's not just my concern for keeping you out of prison. Have you ever heard of Mother Lode?
 * Lady Mode: Who hasn't? The crime boss of the Crystal Empire who capitalizes anything is hardly my concern. Besides, she's easily disposable to Rarity's companions. She'd be taken out before we act.
 * Eye Beholder: She's not exactly dumb, mom. It's said she practices black magic. The fritz hadn't exactly changed that.... For some reason. Nobody crosses her because of black magic being the reason the Crystal Empire vanished for a thousand years.
 * Lady Mode: JUST DO YOUR JOB, YOUNG LADY!!! Let ME worry about that bitch while you get Rarity's trust. Suis-je clair?
 * Eye Beholder: (Sighs) Clair comme une cloche.
 * Lady Mode: Good girl. Now, go ahead and have your little fun... But remember, our condition. (Eye Beholder left sadly as Mr. Corprete, Overtime and Under-Pay with a new Lollipop came in).....
 * Mr. Corprete: "So, how did it go?"
 * Lady Mode: "(Fipixfi returnd to her and was rewarded with more pets) I think she got the message.... Rather well."
 * Stool Pigeon was found recovering abit in pain.
 * Lady Mode: ".... Stool Pigeon, follow my daughter to the Crystal Empire and help her with any, secrets about the Friendship School that might be, scandelious enough for you."
 * Stool Pigeon: "Oh come on, I JUST CAME BACK FROM THERE?! (Fipixfi growled as she did another karate pose) DUUUUUH, I'M GOING I'M GOING?! (Trips around and tries to get going as he flew off clumsly like a bird learning to fly for the first time) HEY BEHOLDER, WAIT UP?!"
 * Lady Mode chuckled softly as her corprete stooges chuckled with her."
 * The Train Station was seen having a lot of fashion models looking to get involved with Rarity's new store.
 * Cinch: "Now now, ladies. Because I'm feeling generous, the fashion models have no need for bum insections... As per request by Princess Candence and Shining Armor. Just follow me to the store and do behave yourselves."
 * Cinch starts leading the models as Eye Beholder was seen with them with Stool Pigeon was following.
 * Stool Pigeon: "(Quietly) Okay Eye, just do what needs to be done, and your mom will be off your back about it, okay?"
 * Eye Beholder: "(Quietly) Pigeon, you don't have to remind me, I've been made to do things like this so many times I lost count."
 * Stool Pigeon: "(Quietly) I know, I know. Just, meet up with me when you get something juicy, and leave the rest to- (Gets grabbed by Guards) (Loudly) WHY-OXY?!"
 * Guard 1: "Hold it Griffin, the exception applies to the models only!"
 * Guard 2: "Prepare your anus for inspection! (Puts on hoof glove)!"
 * Stool Pigeon: "WAIT, WAIT?! I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE, I WAS CLEAN?!"
 * Guard 2: "Things could've changed from that time."
 * Stool Pigeon: "I WAS LITERALLY GONE FOR ONLY TWO DAYS?!"
 * Guard 1: "A lot can happen in two days! Continue with Butt-Inspecting!"
 * Stool Pigeon screamed!
 * Eye Beholder: "WAIT WAIT WAIT, STOP?! (The Guards look at her)..... He's my...... Personal Entourage reporter."
 * Guard 1: "..... The Griffin?"
 * Guard 2: "I don't know, he looks more like tabloid popperazzi trash to me."
 * Stool Pigeon: "HEY, I RESENT THAT?!"
 * Eye Beholder: "He's been down on his luck recently! Just take it easy on him, he means no harm."
 * The Guards look at Cinch.....
 * Cinch: "...... If the model said the Griffin is clean, then no butt inspection is required."
 * The Guards obeyed and let Stool Pigeon go as he plops painfully into the ground.
 * Stool Pigeon: "(Dazed) Why me?"
 * Eye Beholder chuckled embarrisedly and started to drag Stool Pigeon as the other models look awkwordly at her.
 * Cinch kept a curious and cautious eye on Eye Beholder and Stool Pigeon....
 * Eye Beholder: ".... (Quietly) I don't want you to be seen around me when we get to the store, okay? When we get there, just keep out of sight until I find something, okay?"
 * Stool Pigeon: "(Pained) No, problem. Gives me an excuse to take pictures of the area for my tabloid piece on "Beeee-YYYYOOOOU-T-Ful Cities" back in the Slummy Press."
 * Eye Beholder: "(Quietly).... One of these days, I'm going to get you a more honest reporting job."
 * Stool Pigeon: "(Quietly) Your mom doesn't seem to mind my career choice."
 * Eye Beholder: "(Quietly) Not for the right reasons! Just, keep out of trouble, okay! And be careful of that Cinch Pony! She's very good at reading people, and you are NOT very good at keeping secrets, and I don't just mean the popperazzi profession! You crack easily under pressure! You're even afraid of Fipixfi, and she's only a Pixoodle!"
 * Stool Pigeon: "(Quietly and fearfully) In my defence, that little bug-winged dog knows how to break ya! I'm still recovering from the RECENT beat-ups! Why did your mom had to teach that thing all of the martial arts?!"
 * Ete Beholder: "(Sighs), (Lets go of the tail) (Quietly) Just go and keep out of trouble. (Walks off)...."
 * Stool Pigeon: ".... (Sighs), I'm so glad to have a friend like her. (Sees Pastry Store)...... Sweet, pastries. I wonder if they have scones in there. (Enters into the store and sees the sweet baked goods).... Duuuuh...... This is betta then scones. This is like Under-Pay's private candy and sweets stache..... (Checked his bag and finds some bits).... Good, still had enough leftover pay from the last job. (Gets to the counter) Excuse me, baker, I would like to buy uh... (Shows bits) Whatever much this amount of bits will get me."
 * Baker: "Well, I think you look like you have enough bits to buy...... Oh my, that's alot of bits."
 * Stool Pigeon: "There used to be more, believe me, but ya know, rent troubles, over-due taxes and libary books, bullies and thug shake downs, general dept problems, I'm lucky to even still get food on the table."
 * Baker: "Oh you poor Griffin. Here, for today only, (Pulls out a delcious tray of Christail Empire Themed Cupcakes) My specialy Chrisail Empire cupcakes, made with love.... And from Pinkie Pie's hot-selling cookbook, "Cupcakes and You". She's a genius with that stuff."
 * Stool Pigeon: "Well I'm someone who's usually familier with scones, so I'll be the judge of that. (Takes a cupcake and takes a small bite..... Gets a cartoonish reaction ans wolfed the thing down!).... OH WHERE THE FUDGE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE?! Thanks!"
 * Baker: "No problem. Remember, on the house."
 * Stool Pigeon: "Oh you're too kind, even for Pony Standerds. (Leaves Store). Ohhh yeah, if it wasn't for the butt inspections, I might come here more oft- (Bumps into someone) D'OW?! Hey watch where ya standing ya- (Saw it was Cinch staring at him)..... Yipe?! Your the Butt Inspection lady!"
 * Cinch: "My name is Cinch, by the way, for your infomation."
 * Stool Pigeon: "(Gulps in a panic).... Look, Beholder already said I'm with her, so there's no need for butt inspections, okay?"
 * Cinch: "I'm aware. But I want to make you understand, Griffin. If I am given any reason you are a part of something dubious, you, will answer, to me. I was once able to make an Orc beg for prison, after how I interigated that brute of a previously foiled coup during the fritz! I look at you, and see a less sturdy griffin. But, as far as I know, you're just a model's entourage reporter. So, do behaive yourself in this kingdom.... Am I clear?"
 * Stool Pigeon: "(Scared) Crystal..."
 * Cinch: "Good..... Oh, and clean up after yourself. You seemed to have, forgotten your bathroom training in fear."
 * Stool Pigeon realised that he was standing on something wet......
 * Stool Pigeon: "..... Sorry about that. Weak-bladder."
 * Cinch teleported off as Stool used napkins from the cupcake bag to clean up his mess.
 * Stool Pigeon: "(Quietly) This is gonna be one of those days."
 * They were watched by a pony.
 * Pony: (On communicator) Mother Lode? Eye Beholder and her stupid Slummy Press griffin Stool Pigeon are in town.
 * (Mother Lode): Well ain't that interesting? The daughter of the bitch that took much of my power? Me thinks a ransom is in order.
 * Pony: Well, mam, I think they're here for Miss Rarity's new boutique in town. Likely, Mode finally deemed Rarity a serious enough competitor to "Borrow" Ideas from.
 * (Mother Lode): Why that no good, HAG!!!! She just CAN'T help herself, can she?! Nobody owns schemes here but me! Nothing stopped me before. Not even the fritz. I used antimagic to secure my hoofhold on the underworld, and now that black magic is back, time to remind ponies inside and outside the Crystal Empire who's the mama of this town.
 * The models and Beholder arrived in Transparenty Pleasentries.
 * Cheery Pink Pony Model: "This is like, sooooo awesome! You seeing this Poutyface?"
 * Serious Dark Purple Model Pony (Poutyface): "Pepstep, we talked about this. We're here on serious business."
 * Aggressive Red Model Pony: "(Shoving through other models) HEY I'M WALKING 'ERE?!"
 * Poutyface: "Oh great. Even Catfight is here."
 * Catfight: "(Sees Poutyface) Well if it ain't Miss Downer and her cheery friend! Fancy meeting you oppisites here of all places! I know Rarity's open to all models, but this is rediculious!"
 * Suddenly, a beautiful but daring green model pony flew in from the window and started to do actrobatic tricks and flips and landed into the center of the room!
 * Catfight: "..... OH WHO INVITED SHOW-OFF?!"
 * Show-Off: "(Removes goggles and helmit to reveil beautiful eyes and still beautiful mane for having to wear a helmet) Hi to you too, Catfight. How's anger management class doing?"
 * A Model Pony with Bon-Bon's color sceme was seen talking to a poster of Rarity!
 * Model Pony: "Miss Rarity, it is an HONOR to meet you! I'm your biggest fan!"
 * A Smarter Organe Yellow-Maned Model Pony came to the dumb model pony....
 * Smarter Model: "..... Cutie, that's, not Rarity. That's just a poster with her face on it."
 * Cutie: "...... Oh....... (Looks at a glass Statue of Rarity).... Is THAT Rarity, Beauty Smart?"
 * Beauty Smarts sighed facehoofing.
 * Beauty Smarts: "That's, just a sculture."
 * Catfight: "Oh great, if it isn't smarty pants and the hottest dumbass ever."
 * Beauty Smarts: "I see you got out of Anger Management Class early, Catfight."
 * Catfight: "As if I would pass up an oppertunity for a new fashion place in the Chrsilian Imperium of all places!"
 * Poutyface: "Crystal Empire, Catfight."
 * Catfight: "Potato Po-Ta-To!"
 * Beauty Smarts: "No one actselly says "Po-Ta-To"."
 * Catfight: "Point is it's the same thing, smarty pants!"
 * Show-Off: "(Sees Eye Beholder in the crowd)..... Heads up girls..... Mode's Daughter is here."
 * Poutyface: "Oh dear. Guess that means Mode's finally taken poor Rarity seriously enough to, "Borrow" ideas from her as well."
 * Catfight: "I'll handle this! (Gets ready to be aggressive but Beauty Smarts held her back)."
 * Show-Off: "Look, let me, Pep, and Pouty handle this, okay?"
 * Show-Off, Poutyface and Pepstep got to Eye Beholder......
 * Show-Off: "..... Hey Eye."
 * Eye Beholder: "...... Look, I know what you three are gonna say, but-"
 * Poutyface: "Eye, you need to stop encouraging your mother's bad behavior."
 * Eye Beholder: "(Quietly) Not so loud, okay? As fair as anyone knows, I'm just another model, okay? I don't want that to get out if that Cinch pony's here."
 * Pepstep: "Is that cute griffin guy here too?"
 * Eye Beholder: "Duhhh, (Tries to stage it) You mean my Enourage Reporter? He's taking pictures for his piece on, uhh, Wonderious Cities for Equestria Daily!"
 * Pepstep: "Ohhh, so you got him out of Slummy Press and into a better thing-"
 * Eye Beholder: "(Sternly) SHUSH?!"
 * Pepstep: ".... Ohhh, (Quietly) You lied about that, did ya?"
 * Eye Beholder: ".... (Quietly) Look, I told him to keep out of trouble, okay?"
 * Poutyface: "You are aware that even if that clumsy hybrid of feline and avian TRIES to do so, trouble finds HIM? That Griffin attracts trouble like flies to honey!"
 * Eye Beholder: "Well worse case scenario, he ends up getting attacked by, I no, Tartaric Dobermens. The Christail Empire is a pretty safe locale."
 * Pepstep: "Then would it be bad to mention that two such Tartaric Dobermens had been said to escape from a leak in Tartarus and are still being looked for?"
 * Eye Beholder: "Well the odds of them ever ending up here are slim, Tartaric Dobermens HATE cold places."
 * Show-Off: "Take my advice, never try to challnage karma with even sensiable logic. It will ALWAYS prove ya wrong. That's what my grammy taught me."
 * Vogue and Miss Mane arrived, it got every model's attention, even halting the conversation with Eye Beholder and the others.
 * Poutyface: ".... (Quietly to Beholder) We're continuing this privately afterwords."
 * Vogue: "My dear mare models, I welcome you, to Transparenty Pleasnetries..... Title Work-In-Progess. And now presenting, (Rarity appeared in a drumatic display)!"
 * Rarity: "RARITY FOR YOU!"
 * The Models got excited and cheered!
 * Cutie: "I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN?!.... Wait, that's the real one this time, right?"
 * Beauty Smarts: "Yes."
 * Cutie: "I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN?!"
 * Eye Beholder looked to be in bliss of finally getting to meet a symbol of hope in life.... Though she got conflicted with what role she's made to play.
 * Vogue: "Now, the auditions are simple. You'll be given sample dresses to wear and show yourself off on the run way with your best struts and what not. A model working here need's to look fabulious. It needs to be eye-catching. And above all.... The outfit has to make you look more beautiful then you naturally are. You'll be graded by points based on beauty, grace, wears, and most of all.... How fabulious you look! The contest starts tomorrow, so you're welcome to stay in the Diamond Hotel I rented out for all you ladies. All expenses paid."
 * The models got excited, espeically Eye Beholder.
 * Eye Beholder was already unpacking her things when she hears a knock on the door.
 * Eye Beholder: "It's not locked."
 * Show-Off and the other named Model Ponies came in.
 * Catfight: "All right, back to business. Be honest, Beholdy! You're here to "Borrow" things for mommy dearest again, aren't ya?"
 * Eye Beholder: "Girls, come on, I promise it's not like that-"
 * Stool Pigeon crashes into the window comedically again!
 * Stool Pigeon: "(Muffled) WHY IS IT I CAN'T SEE GLASS?! I KNOW WINDOWS EXIST YET I CAN'T SEE THEM?! WHAT GIVES, REALITY?!"
 * Eye Beholder sighed and opens the window to let Stool Pigeon in as he clumsily plops in!
 * Stool Pigeon: "(Dazed) I need to give a report to your mom abou- (Sees the other models and snaps out of it)...... About, how you had been doing? Mode really cares about her well-being, ya know?"
 * Catfight: "..... Eye, just because Cutie is the dumb one, doesn't mean the steriotype of models being idiots is true! Hell, have you seen Beauty Smarts? She's more like what you expect from a scientist than a model! So be honest already?! You're doing your mom favors again, aren't you?!"
 * Eye Beholder: "(Sighs, close the door to ensure silence)..... I tried to talk her out of it, you guys know I do."
 * Show-Off: "And we trust that..... We just believe your mom is not commited to it. You're gonna need to come clean someday, or else when she is finally exposed, her luck's gonna wear off, espeically if you get caught in the Chrystal Empire. Candence is Celestia's niece, and she WILL tell Celestia about this. I doubt your mom's unsueable ass will survive Celestia's brand of justice! And we don't want to see you get dragged with her and her corporate stooges."
 * Pepstep: "Yeah, you're too pretty for Black Stallian Asylum!"
 * Beauty Smart: "I also can't help but feel you're here espeically cause your mother is still sour about the E.E.A. thing awhile back.... That will only ensure a place in Project R.E.P.E.N.T., like with O'Hardknocks."
 * Eye Beholder: "(Gets teary) I'M AWARE OF THAT?! YOU THINK I'M NOT TRYING TO GET HER TO STOP?! I DIDN'T WANT MY MOTHER TO GO DOWN THIS ROAD?!"
 * Cutie: "But, you two don't share the same last names. Why is that?"
 * Eye Beholder: "I got it from my father. My mother married him."
 * Show-Off: I thought this was a matriarchal society.
 * Eye Beholder: It's because my dad proposed and thus her actual name is a maiden one.
 * Cutie: "Well why isn't your daddy doing anything about it?"
 * Eye Beholder: "KINDA HARD FOR HIM TO INTERVINE WHEN HE'S IN A COMA FOR YEARS?! (Stunned Silence)...... He got hurt badly during the Magic University revolt."
 * Stool Pigeon: "The one with the giant crazy Eagle-Beak guy? I wrote a controversey-attracting tabloid on that, easiest money I got that time!"
 * Eye Beholder: "..... Mom and dad picked a bad time to visit Canterlot to visit old friends just when the revolt broke out. Some corrupted students began fighting eachother, and dad sheilded mom from an attack..... He's been in a coma ever since......"
 * Catfight: ".... Is that why your mom's stealing other ponies designs?"
 * Eye Beholder: "No, she had this problem for awhile because, her parents shared the same philosify as that Dr. Eureka pony where the strong must take from others to better themselves, something among those lines..... But dad was helping her see the light..... But then Eagle-Beak ruined that when Dad got into the coma... I tried to finish what he started, but.... Mom, just gets progressively worse."
 * Poutyface: ".... Is that why you let her walk all over you and make you ruin many others' lives? You clearly reckitnese that your mother has a warped philosify, and her greedy cronies are only worsening it. They're bad influences."
 * Eye Beholder: "YA THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT?! But, mom is easing her grief WITH the business! It's therapeutic to her to ease her masked pain by having her business be as powerful as it is. And those three, Mr. Corprete for as much as he is CLEARLY near retirement age,  as well as Overtime and Under-Pay, who do nothing but argue about things like Under-Pay's bad suger addiction and insult eachother with fat jokes and risks of diabeites, are like her only friends outside of Fipixfi, her pet Pixoodle."
 * Stool Pigeon: "WHO ALWAYS KICKS MY BUTT FOR AS SMALL SHE IS?!"
 * Catfight: "(Deadpan) You got your ass kicked by a Pixoodle?"
 * Stool Pigeon: "IT KNOWS ALL KNOWN MARTICAL ARTS?!"
 * Eye Beholder: "Girls, please, just, keep quiet about this, okay? I promise, after this, I'm telling mom I won't do it anymore, okay?"
 * Show-Off: ".... In all good sense, we can't abide to this."
 * Eye Beholder: "Please, you guys don't want me to be dragged down with my mother, right? Well telling anyone, espeically Cinch, will only garrentie that, okay? Look, I promise, it's the last time. Then afterwords, I'll tell mother I won't be doing it anymore! Rarity will be the last time, okay?..... Please?"
 * The Models look at eachother.....
 * Catfight: "..... Only for as long as nothing too serious happens. Be warned that if anything happens, ESPECIALLY CAUSE OF THE GRIFFIN DOING SOMETHING STUPID, or if something even more serious happens, we will sing like canaries about this. Okay?"
 * Eye Beholder: ".... That's, the best I got from you girls, isn't it?"
 * Show-Off: "Only because we worry about you, Eye. Your current situation with your mother isn't healthy, and needs to be addressed."
 * Eye Beholder: ".... Okay. I'll promise nothing too intense will happen here. Things will be peaceful, and Stool will stay out of trouble. In fact, he will not interact with ANYPONY. Espeically, not, Cinch, NOR even Rarity unless I'm around."
 * Stool Pigeon: "Got ya. I'm gonna be like a microbe! I'll never be seen!"
 * The Models stared unsure and unconvinced by Stool's statement.....
 * Stool Pigeon: "..... What?"
 * Catfight:... You, madam, are royally f****d.
 * The models left.....
 * Stool Pigeon: "..... Was it something I said?"
 * Eye Beholder: "..... (Sighs). I, have lost control of my life."
 * The Models have returned to the newly remodled Transparent Pleasentries that clearly gotted a needed pick-me-up.
 * Eye Beholder: "Woooow..... It looked more beautiful then it did before."
 * Vogue: "(Lets the models in) Okay ladies, the auditions will begin soon. Report yourselves into the dressing room and be ready for the runway."
 * Eye Beholder wanted to get excited, but is also anxious about what she is expected to do. She's also worried about Stool Pigeon and how he would ineditably end up in trouble.
 * The Models were seen dressing up and gussing up on make-up.
 * Snooty Model: "Hey, have you girls heard about the latest fiasco in that Friendship School? (Eye Beholder's ears perked up. She was afraid of this part. She wanted to pay it no mind, but she knows she had to obey Mode's request). I heard that the school turned out to be where the Tartaric Leak had happened."
 * Worry-Wort Model: "Goodness."
 * Cynical Model: "Was it because of that clumsy Abyssian Vulture again?"
 * Snooty Model: "Ehhhhh, yes and no. His lady friend Euri did well to prevent any mistake on HIS part. However, he DID decide that having the students make portals to Tartarus and bring back a creature there to learn science was a BRILLIENT idea! Thus, there was this student that was obcessed with Tartarus, and he made a portal so strong that it caused a leak!"
 * Snarky Model: "(Sarcastic) Gee, you think THAT was how those Tartaric Dobermens got out?"
 * Snooty Model: "That is a safe assumption, darling."
 * Judgemental Model: "Ugh, why does Sparkle keep that accident prone nutty professor around?! Even when he wasn't the one to make a bad thing happen, a bad thing happens CAUSE of him!"
 * Snooty Model: "Oh I'm sure the princess would make an example of him soon enough should she ever hear it."
 * Snarky Model: "In fact, I'm betting that Sparkle's gonna get a message about it from the place and-"
 * Twilight's voice: "BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDD?"
 * That scream echoed throughout Equestria......
 * Snooty Model: "... (Hoity laugh), Well when you're right, yer right. (The Gossipers laugh, unaware that Beholder had heard them)."
 * Eye Beholder sighed sadly......
 * Eye Beholder: "(Quietly) At least I can get this part of mother's request out of the way."
 * Twilight was seen very pissed off as Spike was rubbing her down....
 * Twilight: "UNBELIEVEABLE?! EVEN WHEN BUZZORD WASN'T THE ONE WHO CAUSED THE ACCSIDENT, HE STILL HAS RESPONDSABILITY FOR IT?!" WAS HE SERIOUSLY MENTAL ENOUGH TO WANT TO TEACH STUDENTS HOW TO MAKE PORTALS TO TARTARUS?!"
 * Starlight: "Don't worry, Barktrot said she's already disapleaning the professor AND the student that REALLY likes Tartarus."
 * Applejack: "But I guess we'll have to keep a lookout for those Tartaric Dobermen."
 * Twilight: "When we get back there, I AM GIVING THE PROFESSOR A PIECE OF MY MIND?!"
 * Some Shady Ponies were seen having over-heard that and left.
 * Rainbow Dash: "I think we need to have Euri and those other assisents keep Buzzy on an even tighter leash now, huh?"
 * Spike: Yeah. We're already kind of causing a scene.
 * Applejack: I'm sure she'll cool down.
 * Twilight was snorting like a mad bull!
 * Applejack: "..... EEE-Eventually."
 * Fluttershy: Oh my. That's the first time I've seen Twilight this mad in a while. Twilight?
 * Twilight:... (Does Cadence's breathing technique)... Well... Rarity's counting on us. Let's get this show on the road.
 * Vogue: "(Comes in) Are the models ready yet, dears?"
 * Twilight: Almost. There's just some... Cartoonish banter with them. They're being... Mostly cooperative.
 * Rainbow Dash: I have no idea why ponies like these are models... Except the pegasi.
 * Pinkie: Oh, yeah, because you... Know.
 * Applejack: Well none of us are stallions. Maybe it's their looks.
 * Rainbow Dash: Probably. Even the dumbest of mares can be models if they bring enough boners.
 * Twilight: Rainbow Dash! That's not very appropriate.
 * Spike: But not inaccurate.
 * Vogue: Well it's in 10 minutes. They better be ready then, or they'll be REALLY sorry. (They left)
 * Spike: "Yikes, when did Vogue got so strict?"
 * Starlight: "Well since this store is expected to open by the end of the week, I imagine that was pressure talking."
 * Applejack: "Well making a store in the Crystal Empire, I would imagine, is an ambitious project. There's a lot of expectations involved, espeically with Cinch."
 * Rainbow Dash: Totally. I don't blame V for being so rough.
 * Pinkie: Everypony's a little cranky today, huh?
 * Twilight: That's kind of because it's close to the holidays. The ones Icky says is, and thy quote, 'A holiday clusterf***'.
 * Pinkie: Good point.
 * Applejack: Then we best get these ladies ready fast.
 * Fluttershy: I'm sure they calmed down already when they remembered what they're here f-
 * Fluttershy: (Held her mouth in shock seeing the models arguing crazily)
 * Spike: Girls, huh? (All 6 looked at him sternly) Ugh, why can't I be mostly around guys?
 * Twilight: We're in a matriarchal society.
 * Spike: Sometimes I wish it wasn't.
 * Rainbow Dash: Much of us do.
 * Starlight: "AHEM! Ladies, ladies, LADIES?! (The Models stopped arguing)...... Okay, dare I ask, WHY are you ponies arguing with eachother?"
 * All Models: (Pointing at Catfight) SHE STARTED IT!!
 * Spike: Ugh! Can we all NOT have a chick fight here-
 * Show-Off: No offense, but we don't need some random dragon's opinion.
 * Spike: OHO, NO! YOU PONIES NEED TO LEARN SOME SELF-MOTIVATION!! OTHERWISE NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOU'LL BE BARGING INTO A PRINCESS'S TOWER AND THEREFORE COMMITTING AN ACT OF TREASON!! YOU CAN'T EXACTLY RELY ON THE HEAD HONCHO ALL THE TIME LIKE A BUNCH OF SYCOPHANTS!!!
 * Poutyface: Uh, yeah we do. Equestria IS a monarchy after all.
 * Cynical Model: Technically it's an oligarchy since there's four princesses, unless you count Cadence's baby-
 * Snarky Model: HOW OFTEN DO PONIES THANK YOU FOR NEEDLESS INFORMATION, CYNIC TREND?! WHAT'S THAT, NEVER?!?
 * Cynic: Well excuse me, Miss Snarky Sashes!!
 * Poutyface: POINT IS, THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE OUR POINT OF REFERENCE, OTHERWISE IT'D BE A DEMOCRACY!!!
 * Spike: WELL IT'S THE PRINCIPLE, DAMMIT!!!
 * Twilight: Spike!
 * Spike: Well sorry, I'm kinda trying to help here.
 * Twilight: ".... Okay, just, what did Catfight do?"
 * Snooty Model: "SHE was being contentious with me about, a private affair between our families."
 * Catfight: WELL SORRY IF OUR MOTHERS AND FATHERS HAD AFFAIRS WITH EACH OTHER'S WIVES!!! IT'S INFIDELITY WITH EXTRA STEPS!!!
 * Snooty Model: "Hey, Polygamy is tecnecally legal in Equestria!"
 * Catfight: "THAT DOESN'T MAKE LIVES LESS AWKWORD AND CONFLICT INDUSING, SNOOTY BATOOTY?!"
 * Pinkie and Rainbow Dash broke into fits of laughter!
 * Snooty Batooty: "WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SUCH AN ETHICIST ABOUT IT, ONE-LOVER?! STAYING IN SINGLARITY WILL RISK LOVE FOR THAT PERSON TO RUN IT'S COURSE AND IT TURNS INTO PETTY ARGUEMENTS AND THEN DEVORCE?! SEEING OTHERS ACTSELLY HELPS RELATIONSHIPS CAUSE IT EASES TENSION ASSUSIATED WITH A SINGLE PAIR?!"
 * Catfight: True as that seems, it's still not a popular concept. Mainly because we're a matriarchal society. Women are the dominant gender here.
 * Rainbow Dash: Yeah, so many stallions must be sexually happy in a setting like this.
 * Cynic: Says the gaybo with a wing fetish.
 * Rainbow Dash: ABICHBIBUH... HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?!
 * Cynic: C'mon, we saw you eyeing the Pegasus models' flying. We're NOT eye candy, lady.
 * Rainbow Dash: THIS IS RIDICULOUS, EVERYPONY REMEMBER WHY YOU'RE HERE!!!
 * Catfight: "Yeah, Dash's weird speffic bodypart fetish is not relivent here! (Rainbow Dash gave a frustrated snort at that) It's about Batooty's parents screwing around with mine?!"
 * Snooty Batooty: "Look, if it helps, both our parents are being consenting adults, and it was easing tensions they were having for eachother."
 * Catfight: "BUT NOT EXACTLY FOR THE REASONS YOU THINK, YOU APOLOGIST?!"
 * Snooty Batooty: "HEY, MY PARENTS WERE ALSO DOING IT TO ALOT OF OTHER PONIES BEFORE YOURS CAME AROUND, IT SAVED THEIR MARRIAGE?! THEY WOULD'VE DEVORCED AGES AGO IF THEY STUCK WITH EACH OTHER?!"
 * Catfight: "Your parents may be pros at that, BUT MINE WEREN'T?! YOU HAD ANY IDEA HOW AWKWORD IT WAS WHEN THEY DISCOVERED THE AFFAIRS?!"
 * Snooty Batooty: "I've been, told your parents had abit of a strained relationship. I get where you are coming from, but, one can argue that's just the side-effect of a singularity dominated socity that they weren't used to it enough on having more then a single life partner. They weren't trained to react properly to it..... If it helps, it never got too, sexual. It was mostly just dances, parties, carnevals, even a sky cruse. Both of your parents missed the bathular life, and, my parents wanted to help them on that. They only got upset cause they thought it was just them doing it seperately."
 * Catfight: "(Angry with tears) That doesn't eased the fact they're filing for devorce now?! They both felt faithless to each other!"
 * Snooty Batooty: "I'm sorry if it ended up not working out, but it's singularity's fault that's the case, not my parents nor their beliefs."
 * Catfight: "ARE YOU SERIOUSLY THIS MUCH OF AN APOLOGIST TO NOT REALISE THAT EVEN IF GOOD INTENTIONS WERE INVOLVED, IT STILL PAVED A WAY TO HELL FOR ME?!"
 * Snooty Batooty: "MY PARENTS DIDN'T ASK FOR YOURS TO FILE FOR DEVORCE, IT WAS SOMETHING THEY DESIDED ON THEIR OWN TERMS!? IN FACT, MY PARENTS TRIED TO SUGGEST OTHERWISE AND JUST BE FRIENDS AFTER THE EXSPEARIENCE, EVEN HAVING TRIED TO RECIMEND THEM TO THE FINEST MARRIAGE COUNCILERS AND LOVE ADVISERS IN EQUESTRIA?!"
 * Catfight: "THAT DOESN'T EXCUSE THEM FOR WHAT THEY DID?! LAST MINUTE BUYER'S REMORSE, DOESN'T MAKE THEM LESS LIKE, SUCCUBUSES?!"
 * Models gasped!
 * Snooty Batooty: ".... You, are this close, of having to go through your namesake, you angry little trogladite?!"
 * Catfight: "BRING IT ON, I'M READY FOR YA, BITCH?!"
 * Rainbow Dash: I MEANT RARITY'S FASHION SHOW, YOU JACKASSES!!!!
 * Silence......
 * Applejack: "..... Dash....... I think ya just done made things worse."
 * Rainbow Dash: "..... Oops."
 * The Models began to complain to Rarity about Rainbow Dash's crassness!
 * Rarity: Rainbow! What did you do?
 * Rainbow Dash: Nothing.
 * Rarity: WHAT, DID, YOU, DO?!
 * Rainbow Dash: I F****D YOUR MOM!!! THESE PONIES ARE SO UNCOOPERATIVE!!! They embarrassed me, then they completely neglect their presence here for their own personal problems. OF COURSE I WAS GONNA CALL EM JACKASSES!!!
 * Poutyface: THAT'S NO EXCUSE, YOU INSULTING BRAT!!
 * Cynic: Miss Rarity, I am disgusted by your choice in friends.
 * Rarity: EXCUSEZ MOI?! We are the friends of the Princess of Friendship. How do you not know she's a hothead?
 * Catfight: We do. However she has NO manners.
 * Rarity: Well neither do you. This is important to me, and my friends try to help, and THIS is how you make a good impression?
 * Pepstep: We're of high class... Well, some of us. We expect manners.
 * Rainbow Dash: Well then maybe you should've stayed home. Everypony, I'm sorry for being so mean, but all of you are so frustrating! You come here to see Rarity and you s*** all over her dreams by arguing and being complete jerks? We have just 1 minute left until the show, and you just f****d it up. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES!!!
 * Eye Beholder:... She's got a good point. You all are disgraces. (Cynic lipped "Oh hi, kettle, name's pot, you're black.") Well if you're going to be that way, MAYBE HER FRIENDS AND I SHOULD DO THE SHOW WITHOUT YOU!! (She tore off their clothes and started to dress the Mane Heroes) Let's get this over with. And as for you sticks in the mud, you better think about what you've done. (She left with the others)
 * All Models:... THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!! (They rioted)
 * Eye Beholder: (She and Rarity's friends wore the dresses and everybody cheered with hoof stomping)
 * Rarity: Well that was better than I feared it would- SANTA MARIA!!!! (The backroom was a wreck after the fight)... WHAT HAPPENED HERE?!
 * Cynic: GIRLS, IT AIN'T OUR FAULT WE GOT RUINED... IT'S EYE'S FAULT!!!
 * Eye Beholder: HOW IS IT MY FAULT?! YOU RUINED YOURSELVES!!
 * Show-Off: OH SHUT UP!!!! IN FACT, WE SHOULD'VE TOLD RARITY ABOUT YOU AND YOUR MOTHER!!!
 * Rarity: Wait.... What? What does this have to do with Beholder's mum?
 * Vogue: "(Comes in with Cinch) Girls, I- (Saw the mess) CELESTIA'S GLORIOUS BUTT?!"
 * Starlight: "Okay, all these sayings based around Celestia is REALLY starting to be abit much now."
 * Cinch: "My goodness, did a riot happen here?"
 * Catfight: "YEAH, AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF EYE BEHOLDER?!"
 * Cinch had a firm stare at Eye Beholder....
 * Cinch: "..... Miss Beholder, explain yourself."
 * Vogue: "Wait wait wait wait wait! EYE BEHOLDER?! As in, the daughter of Lady Mode, the fastion tycoonist?! Rarity, I know your daring, but Beholder is RISKY BUSINESS?! She's-"
 * Stool's voice: "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP?!"
 * Stool Pigeon barged in and closed the door to baricade it up with maniquins and hangers.
 * Stool Pigeon: "Eye, don't get mad, but..... TWO PONIES IN SUITS MANAGED TO OPEN A SHORTCUT PORTAL FOR THE TARTARIC DOBERMENS FROM WHEREVER THOSE THINGS ORIGINALLY WERE?! THOSE MONSTERS CHASED ME, SO I WENT TO HIDE WITH YOU?!"
 * Cinch: "AND LEAD THOSE HELLHOUNDS STRAIGHT TO A BUILDING FILLED WITH DEFENSELESS MODELS?!"
 * Stool Pigeon: "...... I, barracaded the door?"
 * Cinch: "TO KEEP OUT WINGED DEMONIC DOBERMENS CAPABLE OF FIREY AND BRIMSTONISH TELEPORTATION?!"
 * Stool Pigeon: "..... Uh, is this place like, Hell-Dog proof?"
 * Suddenly two bursts of fire appeared as too winged demonic dobermens appeared growling!
 * Stool Pigeon: "EEEK?! APPEARENTLY NOT?! WHY IS IT ALWAYS ME AT THE RAW END OF DEAL WITH DOGS?!"
 * Cinch: "Tartaric Dobermens are hunters of sin! They're typically used to chase after escaped souls of the damned from the River Styx. You must be loaded with sin energy that they mistook you for one!"
 * Vogue: "Oh of course HE would be filled with sin energy. He's a sorry little tabloid writer for the Slummy Press."
 * Cinch: "(Got confused), But, Eye Beholder said he was a personal reporter entourage."
 * Vogue: "(Deadpan) And you listend to her?"
 * Cinch: ".... Duh, I, duh..... MISS BEHOLDER?!"
 * Eye Beholder: "I can explain- (Stool Pigeon screamed as he was being chased by the Tartaric Dobermens)! STOOL?!"
 * Stool Pigeon: "EEEEK!! NICE DEMON DOGGIES, NICE DEMON DOGGIES!! CUTE CUTE CUTE CUTE CUUUUTE!!!"
 * The Second Tartaric Dobermen stopped to look at the models, sensing some sin in some of them, like Snooty, Catfight, Vogue, and especially the heaviest sin energy in Eye Beholder.... It growled at her espeically....
 * Pinkie: "..... Uhhhh, I don't want to scare you, but, I don't think that Tartaric Dobermen likes you all that much."
 * Cinch: "It smells her sin energy! These hellhounds track villains because they smell sin and evil. And I think it has to be as bad as the Griffin's for that kind of reaction!"
 * Eye Beholder: "(As the Tartaric Dobermen climbed up to her)..... Nice, demon doggie, good, erm, bad in a good way demon doggie.... You want like, a bone from a sinner's body or something? (The Tartaric Dobermen snapped at her) EEK?! BAD CALL, BAD CALL?! Uh, you wanna satanic scooby snack? (The Tartaric Dobermen growled intensely).... Devil Biscuits? (The Tartaric Dobermen opened it's jaws at her) No please, no, please?!"
 * It looked like the Tartaric Dobermen was about to grab her, when suddenly, the door was kicked opened!
 * Both Tartaric Dobermens look to see the Pillers of Equestria at the front door!
 * Mage Meadowbrook: "Naughty Hellhounds! Ya'll are suppose to be in Tartarus preventing sinned souls from escaping!"
 * Rockhoof: "Now you hellish hounds are going back to Tartarus where ya belong!"
 * The Tartaric Dobermens growled in defience!
 * Flash Magnus: ".... Yup, that Thestral was right. These dogs do have an obedience problem."
 * Mistmane: "Then let's prey they're housebroken."
 * Starswirl: "Pillers, stall them whilst I get the portal spell ready to return them to Tartarus." (They did that as Eye Beholder was able to briefly escape until one of the Dobermans bit and held her tail)
 * Eye Beholder: LET ME GO YOU STUPID DOG!!! (The Tartaric Doberman just kept trying to hurt her)
 * Fluttershy: SHE SAID LET HER GO!! (She used the Stare on him, but he just kicked her away into a collection of dresses)
 * Rainbow Dash: HEY!! NOPONY DOES THAT TO MY FRIEND!! (The Tartaric Doberman barked with hellish fright getting her to back down, as Eye Beholder was trying and failing to escape the Dobermans and so were the others they were after)
 * Catfight: HEEELP UUSS!!! (The Pillars started getting the Tartaric Dobermans' attention by using Equinox magic, actually harming them, causing them to chase them)
 * Snooty: WE'RE GONNA DIE!!
 * Cinch: "This is why Tartaric Dobermen have to stay in Tartarus! They're not good with interacting with the overworld!"
 * Starlight: "WE NOTICED?!"
 * Show-Off: WELL THEY'RE SCARIER AND MORE SERIOUS THAN POLICE DOGS!!!
 * Starswirl: And they only obey Thestrals. (Suddenly the Dobermans pounce on all the Pillars stopping his progress)... These canines are smarter than I thought.
 * ???: HAAAALT!! (Death Coffin appeared)
 * Fluttershy: Death Coffin?
 * Death Coffin: I may not run much in the dead anymore, but I have a right to politely ask, WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS UNAUTHORIZED SIN HUNT?!
 * Twilight: Buzzord accidentally let them loose for a student who is obsessed with this Tartarus.
 * Death Coffin:... Ugh! This is why I used to hate mortals. I'll escort them back. I'm a Thestral by proxy.
 * Show-Off: PLEASE DO!
 * Death Coffin managed to have a dominating presence the Tartaric Dobermens reckitnesed as they wimper and leave in obedience with Death Coffin.
 * Starswirl: ".... Sparkle, I'm gonna have to ask you to restrict that nutty Abyssian of ever having anything to do with Tartarus ever again!"
 * Twilight: "IT'S ALREADY ON MY BUCKET LIST?!"
 * Stool Pigeon was trying to sneak out while the going was good.
 * Cinch: "NOT SO FAST, MR. STOOL PIGEON?! (Stool Pigeon stopped in fear and cold sweat).... Care to ask a few simple questions?"
 * Stool Pigeon: "... Look, if it's about the demon dogs, I-"
 * Cinch: I WANT ANSWERS NOW, OR I'M TURNING YOU AND EYE IN!!
 * Stool Pigeon: EYE CAME HERE TO STEAL RARITY'S BUSINESS FOR HER MOM!!!
 * Eye Beholder: STOOL!!!
 * Stool Pigeon: TOO SCARED!!!
 * Eye Beholder: UGH, SERIOUSLY?! SHE DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING TO YOU YET?!
 * Stool Pigeon: "THAT'S WHAT SCARES ME?! THE ANPISIPATION OF THAT?!"
 * Rarity: You, WHAT?
 * Eye Beholder: IN MY DEFENSE, SHE MADE ME DO IT!! Miss Rarity, I tried to talk her out of it. She's just being a vengeful bitch! I made it perfectly clear that I can't support her forever, but she never listened. I wasn't going to just go down with her. If I'm being honest, I didn't come for her. I came because I'm sick to death of her going down this self-destructive path! I tried and I tried AND I TRIED to protect her, but she's intolerably unreasonable!! Well I've had it! If she's going to be this stubborn and treat her own daughter like this, then I don't have to take it. You don't need to say ANYTHING about me never working with you, (Cries) BECAUSE I DON'T BLAME YOU FOR WHAT HAS HAPPENED?! (Trotted off sadly as she cried).....
 * Rarity: "Wait, Beholder! (Eye Beholder stopped)..... You said your mum was doing it for revenge. What exactly is she getting revenge for?"
 * Eye Beholder: "On top of being a fashion tycoonist that based her business in the way of Dr. Eureka in taking ideas from people, she was also an E.E.A. member. A Chancellor. But mostly for the status apart from having taken fashion schools in the group's wings."
 * Rainbow Dash: "DARN IT, AND JUST WHEN IT WAS GONNA BE ONE MORE DAY BEFORE CELESTIA UPDATED US ON WHAT E.E.A. MEMBER TO LOOK OUT FOR?!"
 * Eye Beholder: "Well, I'm sorry if mother ruined that like she ruined my chances to FINALLY live a normal life?! (Trots off)...."
 * Stool Pigeon began to feel awful about what happened. While the Tartaric Dobermens being out of Tartarus wasn't his doing, stupidly bringing them here like a cowerd was.....
 * Stool Pigeon: "..... Eye, I'm sorry-"
 * Eye Beholder: "STOOL, JUST-..... Just please don't. (Leaves)...."
 * Stool Pigeon: ".... So ya don't want me to write down the Tartaric Dobermens being freed by one of the Friendship School's factily then since you didn't told them about how your mom also wanted you to do tha- AWWWWWWW, crap I spoke that out loud!"
 * Cinch: "..... You will be taken before Cadence and Shining Armor, Griffin. (Puts Stool Pigeon in a big bird cage)....."
 * Stool Pigeon: "....... Look, if it helps, I didn't mean for those demon dogs to cause a ruckus, I didn't wanted them to-"
 * Cinch: "THE TARTARIC DOBERMENS ARE IRRELIVENT NOW?! You will stand before the Princess of the Crystal Empire, for attempted Sabotage of the School of Friendship, and conspiracy of theft! Also, for being an accomplice to E.E.A. Chancellor Lady Mode Femme Reine!"
 * Stool Pigeon: "..... Look, do what ya want with me, but leave Eye out of it, okay? She didn't asked to be Mode's helper. My excuse for helping Lady Mode, is that I'm a gutless cowerd desperate for cash, so he's made to do low things while her Pixoodle beats the snot out of him. Eye? She was only being a good daughter. She earnestly tried to steer Mode away from this, but, ever since her dad got beaten badly during the Magic University fiasco, Mode lost her marbles. Her business is her coping mechanism.... Just unfortunate it involves being a fashion equivalent to Dr. Eureka. And those three stooges in her butt-kisser over-seers don't help! They encourage it cause it makes them money! Look, Lady Mode is not exactly herself. She's literally out of her mind in grief. She hasn't been the same since her husband is still a vegetable."
 * Pinkie: "I hope he wasn't made into a stew."
 * Applejack: "He means Beholder's Pa is in a coma, Pinkie."
 * Stool Pigeon: "Look, do what you want with me, but please leave Eye and Mode alone. Besides, Mode's untouchable to even Celestia's parents. She's too rich and powerful to EVER be sued. She has lawyers, FOR her lawyers. Many of them GOOD at countersuing as they are defending her. And she has bribed and controled a lot of judges to always favor her. She's untouchable. Even if she were to commit murder or was running a pony trafficking scheme, she'll never get into legal s*** cause of her Lawyer Armada. So just go ahead and give me hell, I'm used to it."
 * Rainbow Dash: Phah! We can just publicly broadcast her crimes all over the world and not even her lawyers are going to save her. You think we don't know how to deal with bitches like her?
 * Stool Pigeon: "She's nothing like the kinda ponies you met! She has alot of broadcasting company's on her payroll! She'll bribe them to NOT let you ponies say ANYTHING about this! Never underestimate the power of money!"
 * Pinkie: Yeesh! I thought Mr. Krabs in Modern Spongebob Episodes was a tyrannical money-lover.
 * Mr. Krabs was relaxing in a money bath, but then he sterred in confusion....
 * Mr. Krabs: "..... I don't know why, but I feel like I've been sassed and compaired to a worse money-monger today."
 * Rainbow: I would've gone for a character actuselly apart of MLP:FIM canon, but whatever.
 * Applejack: "Well something tells me we're in a REAL pickle here."
 * Pinkie: Yeah, this girl just bought victory. And I didn't think that was possible.
 * Rainbow Dash: Then let's buy her defeat.
 * Pinkie: GOOD IDEA!! We can buy her defeat!!
 * Rainbow Dash:... (Face-hooved)
 * Stool Pigeon: Well what are you guys going to do?
 * Twilight: We'll think of something.
 * They were unaware that some strange suited ponies were seen, and had left.
 * Suited Pony: "Mission accomplished. Lode's gonna be pleased."
 * Glittery-Maned Middle-Aged Pony: (She relaxed in a bubble bath underground in crystalline caves being waited by other ponies)... Ahhhh, feels good to be the crime boss of the Crystal Empire...... Why did I say something like that?
 * ???: MOTHER LODE!!! (The suited ponies arrived) Rarity's friends have been made aware of Mode and aim to correct it.
 * Mother Lode: Excellent... But they're going to be wasting their time. She has too many lawyers to count, and she buys anything like some crazy movie conglomerate.
 * (Deadpool): Haha, COMEDY!
 * Mother Lode: But... What if those lawyers and bought leverages were to... Disappear?
 * Suited Pony #2: Disappear?
 * Mother Lode: If those ponies aren't there to look out for her, then perhaps it'll guarantee her downfall. (Chuckles) Nopony but me could think of a plan to stop Mode in a million years.
 * Suited Pony #1: So how do we do that, boss?
 * Mother Lode: "Simple. What's the one weakness of even a VERY good lawyer?"
 * Suited Pony 2: ".... Legal, Mumbo Jumbo?"
 * Mother Lode: "Not a wrong answer, but something more complicated then that. These are corpreate lawyers we're talking. And what's a best way to lose a corpreate lawyer?"
 * Suited Pony 1: "Oh! Oh! If their paychecks run dry!"
 * Mother Lode: "EXACTLY! Though the real challnage is that this is Mode we're talking about. To corprete flunkies, Mode is like a money narvana! She's an example of playing capitalisum TOO well, much less the entire fastion industry!"
 * Suited Pony 2: "Gees, then those lawyers are set for life!"
 * Mother Lode: "Buuuuut! I do know of a talented usury capable criminal from this world of "Top Dollar City" who happens to be stationed in Equestria, eyeing Equestria's banks to figure out how our economy works. And, I managed to meet his hefty price on doing me a favor of going after Mode when I have spefific need of him. And now, I do."
 * Suited Pony 1: "Sure, but, what exactly is he?"
 * Mother Lode: ".... Well, depends.... What's a better animal for a master of Usury.... Then a Lamprey?'
 * Hidden in an alley, was an over-coat wearing Lamprey Fish with a fedora.... He answered a phone call from his cell.
 * Lamprey: "Who's calling?...... Ohhh, hey, Lode. I take it it's finally time to go after this rich pony ya don't like? Uh-huh. Uh-huh.... Say no more, Lode. Just give me the names of the banks Modey keeps her cash in and-..... Yikes. Pretty much half of all banks in this New York Wanna-be, huh?.... That is an ambitious operation, Lode. So you're gonna have to loan me some extra hooves for this, cause I may be Jacque U. Surison, master of usury, but I ain't a god, miss. Alright, good, I'll be expecting your henchies here soon.... And be sure none of them are dumbasses, alright? Cause nothing guarantees an operation to fall apart THEN LITERALLY THAT ONE GUY DOING SOMETHING STUPID, ALRIGHT?! I mean, I know I can trust you have no idiots, but, ya can't be too careful, ya know? The Lougers have been after my ass for a while because of my STUPID cousin messing up ONE transaction?!"
 * ???: We're already here, actually. (Some ponies appeared scaring him)
 * Jacque: WHAT THE SUCK?!? CAN YOU PLEASE NOT DO THAT FOR THIS ENTIRE MISSION?!
 * Suited Pony 1: "Sorry boss. We couldn't risk train travel because of guards. And hey, magic is back for a while now, so why not take full advantage?
 * Jacque: "... Riiight. Okay, if we're gonna Usury the crap out of Mode, we need to target the banks with the most money, like, ya know, out of every possable bank in this city, what is considered to be the faverite banks?"
 * Suited Pony 3: "Well, her faverite banks include the Liberty Belle Bank in central street, Sand-Dollar National down at Harbor Street, and a private account in Multibucks National Bank, a bank a lot of big name ponies and non-ponies use for a more secured money experience."
 * Jacque: "Yowza, that last bank sounds like Fort Knox-levels of banking. I'm itching to bet that 3rd bank is the one that does all the paying for staff if it's in a bank THAT protective."
 * Suited Pony 2: "That's, the issue. Multibucks Bank is usually.... Usury-proof."
 * Jacque: "As to be expected, cause it's a bank that big names use. I imagine they would need to make themselves untouchable to folks like us."
 * Suited Pony 4: "That place is even tough for inside jobs because of heavy identity protocals. They have high level unicorns and sudo-alicorns in there capable to use advance identity spells. Even the strongest changed identity spell can't survive that."
 * Suited Pony 5: "And their security guards are brutal! Minotaurs, Strong and Musley Centaurs, I hear talk they have a dragon that kinda is like Smaug in there! AND THAT'S THE CAPTAIN?! And they say, he's a MEAN son of a bitch!"
 * Jacque: "..... Wow. That bank does NOT mess around. Really got my work cut out for me."
 * Suited Pony #2: So, if it's that airtight, how are we going to f*** it up?
 * Jacque: You're the ones who told me about it, you tell me.
 * Suited Pony #4: We don't know, we assumed you were good at this.
 * Jacque: "(Pulls out a gun that scares the suited ponies).... Alchourse I'm good at this.... I'm just being open to suggestions. If ya haven't noticed, I'm not exactly native here. I was from Top Dollar City of Accord after all. Not meaning this to be a pun, but.... I'm a literal fish out of water in this world of multicolored magical mini horses. I was asking for native advice."
 * Suited Pony 4: ".... Alchourse, (Gulps), How, rude of us to not realise that."
 * Jacque: "It's fine, it's fine. (Puts gun away for now) Like I said to Lode, I may be a master, but I ain't a god. God complexes are the ultimate blinder of villains. Ya have any idea how often guys like that fall to the lougers because of falling for their own hype and lose themselves the moment they start to lose just because they just so happen to have something that can even put that Uniter on a run for her money? An awful lot! That can breed overconfidence, and overconfidence is worse then incompetence, cause then ya get too cocky and make mistakes because ya feel confident to survive them! Know what I mean?"
 * Suited Pony 5: "..... Ohhh, I get it. You're trying to avoid the common traps of their enemies, right? Dumb Minions, God Complexes, that sort of thing, right? You think it's how a lot of villains go down, right?"
 * Jacque: Correct.
 * Suited Pony #4: Well none of us have ever broken into Liberty Belle Bank, so, let's do something simple and start with that first. The security thinks of and prepares for every attempt at robbery. It's kind of why we asked. We assumed someone outside our world could do it.
 * Jacque:... Fair point. But lucky for you, I'm from Top Dollar City. Liberty Belle Bank should have security just like those of our banks.
 * Jacque: (They saw the bank)... It most certainly does.
 * Suited Pony 1: "Wait, I thought we were doing usury, not bank robbery."
 * Jacque: We are. But we'll just make it LOOK like a robbery. All we have to do is give a loan for preparing for a master robbery and put them in a debt so big even they can't pay it by making the robbers sound too good for them. They'll be forced to give all their money to us. With that, Mode will be bankrupt and vulnerable to those do-gooder ponies. In return, Mother Lode will have the riches for herself. I have no use for primitive forms of money, even with conversion, cause... Ya know, I'm kinda wanted by folks.
 * Suited Pony 2:... YOU DIABOLICAL GENIUS!!!
 * Jacque: "What can I say? I try to avoid being predictable, ANOTHER common trend in how Lougers go after villains."
 * Suited Pony 5: "Well you sound like someone who treats the evil overlord list on TVtropes like it was the ten commandments."
 * Jacque: Oh, I do, actually.
 * Suited Pony 5: "Called it."
 * Jacque: And practically any villain should if they want to amount to anything. I can't tell them myself because they'd be suspicious if an otherworldly person said it. I'll pose as the master robber. You guys can be double agents.
 * Suited Pony #1: But we already established that they have anti-double-agent protocols. They'd ask questions if we came in.
 * Suited Pony 2: "Noooo, that's the Multibucks bank, we're hitting Libery Belle."
 * Suited Pony 1: ".... Oh, nevermind."
 * Jacque: But it's still good to be cautious. Ya may never know if even a bank like this would have surprises. Hence why we need to make the plan as clear and understandable as possable. First, we take time to learn how Liberty Belle works, and then. (The camera pans off to face the bank as it went on)
 * (Suited Pony #1): (On intercom) Alert! Alert!! Robbery warning. Watch out for Jacque U. Surison.
 * Banker:... Is this a prank call?
 * Jacque: (Came in cartoonishly easy) THIS IS A ROBBERY!!!
 * Banker: WHAT?! HOW DID YOU GET IN?!
 * Jacque: Robber secret. NOW GET ON THE GROUND AND GIVE ME THE BITS!!!
 * Banker: UM, UMUMUM, SURE!! (He poured bits in the bags)
 * Jacque: Your security can never keep out the cartoonish ways of Jacque U. Surison. (He left)
 * Banker:...... We need help.
 * Lady Mode was seen enjoying grapes while Fipixfi rested on her.....
 * Mr. Corprete. Overtime and Under-Pay came in worriedly with a newspaper.
 * Lady Mode: "..... What do you bunch want?"
 * Mr. Corprete: "..... Ahem, try, to avoid being upset Lady Mode, but..... There have been, several incidents at every bank in Manehatten, even at your top three choices. Even Multibucks was hit!"
 * Lady Mode: "Oh please, Banks get robbed all the time. Even then, my money is usually well protected, so-"
 * Mr. Corpete shows Lady Mode news paper, the headline read: "Well Protected Money Disappears from Banks amid bank robberies, hidden Usury conspiracy expected.".
 * Lady Mode: "(Almost chokes on the grapes as Fipixfi pulled a Heimlich maneuver on her)!...... EXCUSEZ MOI?!"
 * Overtime: "We're afraid that now you are tecnecally in poverty due to this, newfound issue."
 * Lady Mode: "..... HOW, WIDE-SPREAD IS THAT PAPER?!"
 * Under-Pay: "It's Equestria Daily ma'am, the most wide-spread news shorce ever."
 * Lady Mode: "..... OHHHH, I'M GONNA LOSE MY LAWYERS?! (Gets a panic attack)....... (Calms down) Okay, this shouldn't be a problem, as long as my daughter returns home with Rarity's designs and with Stool making a damning report onto the Friendship School, then no problem, I can recover from this."
 * Mr. Corprete: "Then you might not want to read this next page. (Opens that to reveal that Eye Beholder's face was on an article that read "Controversial Model Caught trying to steal from Rarity's yet-to-be-opened new store in the Crystal Empire in aftermath of Tartaric Dobermen Fiasco".)"
 * Lady Mode was utterly flabbergasted!
 * Lady Mode: "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!"
 * Mr. Corprete: "Don't worry, Miss Mode, we can figure something out."
 * Under-Pay: "Yeah! Maybe not every Lawyer would even read newspapers! Besides, going off topic here, Rarity's MILES away from here, she-"
 * Rarity: (She came in) MODE!!! YOU ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!!!
 * Lady Mode: "WHAT IN THE, HOW IN THE SACRE BLEU DID YOU GET HERE SO QUICKLY?!"
 * Rarity: "Well I had been improving on my own magic lately. That said, sometimes it doesn't hurt to know a princess of friendship who happens to be Celestia's personal protege."
 * Under-Pay:... Maybe she's bankrupt too? She can't sue you without bits.
 * Rarity: Oh, I was given a huge donation. I can sue you dozens of times over. Mode, how could you do this to me over yet another EEA whining?
 * Lady Mode: IT'S NOT WHINING!!!
 * Rarity: Trust me, I know the difference between whining and complaining. WAAAAH, I WANT MY FASHION SCHOOLS BACK, WAAAAAH, I AM A SORE LOSER LIKE THE OTHER PONIES IN THE EEA, WAAAAAA, I'M A PRISSY CONTROL FREAK, WAAAAAAAA!!! That's how you sound. I'll see you in court, you crook. (She left leaving Mode distraught)
 * Under-Pay: "..... Wow, Rarity was being surprisingly rude there."
 * Overtime: "To be fair, idiot, (Smacks Under-Pay into his lollipop)...... It wasn't like she was given good reason to act like that."
 * Under-Pay: "Well again, I'm sure we can still rely on loyal lawyers and-"
 * Twin Secretaries' voices: "Miss Mode, all your lawyers want to have discussions of resignation due to the payment issues now facing you related to the banks' incidents."
 * Overtime smacked Under-Pay again!
 * Under-Pay: "OWCH?!"
 * Mother Lode: YEEES!!! (She was cartoonishly swimming in a pool of bits) I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GUYS PULLED IT OFF!!
 * Jacque: "What can I say? Ya just have to know where to hit them."
 * Mother Lode: Never doubted you for a second, Jacque.
 * Jacque: "This said, I do suggest we're gonna have to lay low, cause based on what I learned, Mode was with this "E.E.A." organization, and I understand that they had rough encounters with the Lougers before. Obviously that's gonna attract their attention. And they aren't afraid to deal with unrelated problems while they're at it if they suspect they're involved. Granted in recent events they toned it down a little, but they can still do them."
 * Mother Lode: Hmmm... that is true. I've read about their efforts in keeping former E.E.A. members at bay.
 * Jacque: "Exactly."
 * Mother Lode: So how do we keep our plan going, without attracting the Lodgers' attention?
 * Jacque: "I didn't say there was a way to keep the Lougers out. Something as massive as an E.E.A. member being busted is gonna be an attention graber to them, for they wanna make sure there's no surprises. I mean more like we need to stay out of the picture when they ineditably show up."
 * Mother Lode: "Good point."
 * Suited Pony #5: Maybe they'd be happy for us helping take out Mode, letting us off with a warning?
 * Jacque: Hey, they're misfited, not, ENTIRELY, that stupid. They would know how infamous Mother Lode is. Also... We just risked bankruptcy in Manehatten. That's practically asking for trouble. I recommend you return the money after Mode meets her fate in order to avoid the wrath of the Princesses.
 * Mother Lode: I JUST GOT THIS LOOT!!!
 * Jacque: Well if you don't give it back, the Lodgers and their Equestrian friends will find you, and they WILL defeat you. You'll just be like Wind Rider and Gladmane, a hopeless loser trying and failing to get revenge.
 * Mother Lode: EXCUSE MOI, MOI?!
 * Jacque: Hey, you can avoid all of that if you don't give those heroes the chance and reason to ruin you. Villains they defeated are nothing more than jokes now. You really want to be one of them? I don't think you want it to me.
 * Mother Lode: ".... Ohhh, you really are no fun."
 * Jacque: "Hey, nobody said being careful about avoiding Louger attention had to be FUN, ya know. Just saying keeping that loot from Manehatten is asking for trouble."
 * Mother Lode: Fine! If it keeps me standing, I'll return it when-... Waaaaaaait... How do I know everypony won't get suspicious and suspect me when Lady Mode is busted and the money mysteriously comes back?
 * Jacque: "I didn't say do it in front of people! I meant, after Mode's gone and the misfits did their thing and leave, THEN I'll usury the money back into the banks! Problem, solved."
 * Mother Lode: You don't get it. It won't matter if it's anonymous or not. If the bits come back for the sole purpose of getting rid of Lady Mode, what's to say ponies don't sniff their way to me and find I helped them to help myself? I'm going to need some reassurances here.
 * Jacque: I'm pretty sure that doing the worst way of hiding isn't advisable. You have to return it. You can always relocate your hideout.
 * Mother Lode: The Royal Guard has snuffed out most of my hideouts already. Getting a new one is expensive.
 * Jacque: Well, that's your problem. You've gotten pretty far to me. I have no use from this place. If you want to keep your syndicate alive the longest and with a fighting chance, I recommend you do the wise thing and return the money when Lady Mode is done. If you don't, you'll bankrupt Manehatten and risk getting unwanted attention from the authorities, defenses, and the Lodgers. Your syndicate WILL fall. If you do, then your syndicate will at least live long enough to relocate successfully and avoid a quick defeat. You see the logic here? This is your only warning. I have other places to be. Nice doing business with you. (Leaves).....
 * Suited Pony 1: "..... Well that was fickle of him."
 * Mother Lode: What a bottomfeeder.
 * Suited Pony #2: Still, he's right. We can't keep this money for ourselves and risk being tracked down and punished severely.
 * Mother Lode: ".... Fair enough, but it can't be through his suggestion! I propose we instead, have someone ELSE blamed for hoarding Manehatten's money.... (Chuckles wickedly), How's about we make Mode's lousy Griffin, suffer one more act from us?"
 * Suited Pony 3: "Ya mean, somehow make ALL that cash, appear in that lousy griffin's posession?"
 * Suited Pony #5: I don't know, if we're caught framing someone, our punishment could be worse if we get caught.
 * Mother Lode: What are you afraid of, you four-legged chicken? I've framed ponies before and got away with it. This will be no different. I, am Mother Lode, the scourge of the Crystal Empire. I won't be defeated by some embarrassments like the Lodgers. Now, find that griffin's apartment in Manehatten and get busy!
 * The group did not realised that Jacque was secretly listening....
 * Jacque: ".... (Quietly) (Sighs), Once again..... Another villain has to learn the hard way. (Leaves quietly into the shadows)....."

Chapter 4: Fashionable Steals
Transparenty Pleasantries French Narrator: One Retelling Later... Later... Carousel Boutique Later... Crystal Empire
 * Rarity: "OHHHH, THIS HAS BEEN AN UTTER DISHASTOR?!"
 * Suri: "So, uhhh, I just came to visit to see how mom is doing and, I walked in to you being upset. How's, everything going?"
 * Rarity: "DO YOU HAVE TO ASK, SURI?! MY STORE HAS BEEN RUINED BEFORE IT HAD A CHANCE TO EVEN OPEN!"
 * Suri: ".... (To Vogue) No seriously, ma, what happened?"
 * Vogue: "It's a, long story dear. You might want to have a seat for it."
 * Suri: Ugh! ANOTHER fashion thief? Didn't our court case caution ponies not to do that?
 * Rarity: We're mortal, dear, no warning is going to get everypony's attention.
 * Suri: Eh, not like I'd expect the former EEA head of fashion schools Lady Mode to listen. What has this world come to?
 * Rarity: I asked myself that a lot since the Storm King attack.
 * Vogue: "We're now trying to figure out how to confront Mode since her vast wealth makes her unsuable."
 * Twilight: Everypony? I have some... Concerning news. It seems that the Liberty Belle Bank, among the other banks of Manehattan, even Multibucks Bank, just got bankrupt. Nopony here is going to get their money back, not even get their pay, unless we find out who robbed those banks and why.
 * Rarity:...... Does that include lawyers?
 * Twilight:... Yeeees?
 * Rarity: YES! THERE'S HOPE FOR ME YET! THAT MEANS MODE CAN BE SUED?! (Sees everypony staring at her) Uh, that is... After we find the fiend responsible for this.
 * Twilight: Eh, we have time for that. You go ahead, we'll go to investigate.
 * Rainbow Dash: "Let's go check on Cinch and hat griffin real quick, see if Stooly knows about this."
 * Twilight: "Good idea. Though some of us need to split up and find Eye Beholder. She needs to be made aware that her mother is suddenly without money."
 * Applejack: "And what makes ya sure she would care about that?"
 * Twilight: "She may not like her mother's actions, but I don't think it means she wants to see her suffer. Also, Beholder holds the most infomation about who her mother wronged, ergo, Mode likely has made, alot of enemies."
 * Pinkie: "So, pretty big suspect pool then?"
 * Vogue: "Well, we got our work cut out then."
 * Starlight: "(Monotoned) I'll go get the Lougers cause ineditably this requires their attention."
 * Fluttershy: "Be sure to check first. I hear Gazelle's having a major sick day after that rough exspearience with Star's bad tidings with magic."
 * Starlight: "No problem, cause this isn't really much of a Uniter-Required issue anyway. Just a sudden case of banks losing money. No biggie!"
 * Rarity: Let's hope we don't need her in the end... Oh, tishtosh, we won't. I'll go give Mode her message. I'll meet you later... (She left)
 * Rainbow Dash:... Well everypony, we got work to do.
 * (Rarity): I'll see you in court, you crook. (She exited the building)...
 * Rarity took a BIG sigh.
 * Rarity: I can't believe this miracle happened.... Looks like I have some guardian angels watching over me.... I'm almost tempted to thank the ones responsible.... But I suppose I have a chance.
 * Rarity was being watched leaving by a very disgruntled Lady Mode....
 * Lady Mode: ".... WHO, DOES THAT LITTLE PONYVILLIAN UPSTART THINKS SHE IS, COMING INTO MY BUSINESS TO SCOLD AT ME?!"
 * Under-Pay: "Well, we know her name is Rarity, she's one of the elements of harmony, she saved Equestria countless times and- (Overtime smacks him) OW?!"
 * Lady Mode: HOW, HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?!?
 * Overtime: Hard to say.
 * Mr. Corprete: "But I'm sure we can figure out how to clear this whole thing up."
 * Overtime: How? Rarity's already onto us. We're about to be sued and we don't have a Lawyer Armada anymore.
 * Mr. Corprete: "But, what if we were to give Rarity reason to not touch us?"
 * Overtime: ".... Ahhh, yes. The old Blackmail technique. Good call."
 * Under-Pay: "But what to do?"
 * Lady Mode: "..... I had heard claims that Rarity has a little sister in Ponyville."
 * Mr. Corprete: "Then it's settled. GOR, RILLS?!"
 * Two big Gorilla Orcs showed up.
 * Mr. Corprete: "We have abit of an emergency and funds are compromised. We need to halt a lawsuit..... I want you two to go to Ponyville, and seek out, A Sweetie Belle. She's likely in the Carousel Boutique. Now get busy."
 * Overtime: Or, we could blackmail her by making it look like SHE was the one who bankrupted Equestria just to get to us.
 * Lady Mode:... This is why you're called Overtime, Overtime.
 * Mr. Corporate: I don't know if the people here will believe she'd stoop that low, but I'm a gambler. You know what to do, boys. Grab Sweetie Belle in case the bank fraud blackmail fails.
 * The Two Gorilla Orcs agreed and went off.
 * The Campers had made the Bonique an operational affair as delayed orders were being met.
 * Sweetie Belle: "Thanks for the help, girls. We practically had all the delayed orders done in a few days ahead of consumer demands!"
 * Scootaloo: "If we didn't already have cutie marks in helping others get THEIR cutie marks, being business ponies would've been a great second!"
 * Apple Bloom: I don't think I'd fully agree.
 * Scootaloo: "What do ya mean?"
 * Apple Bloom: Did y'all forget who my sister is? Or my Granny, for that matter? Apple farming practically IS a business.
 * Scootaloo: Okay, okay, I'm just saying.
 * Apple Bloom: "Just fact-checking is all."
 * Suddenly, the door was punched in as Gor and Rills entered.
 * The duo got very confused at the sight of so many fillies and colts.....
 * Gor: "..... (Quietly) Aw crap, we were prepared for only one kid over here!"
 * Rills: "(Quietly) Let me try something. (Openly) Uhhhhh, which one of yas is uh, Rarity's Sister, Petey Bell?"
 * Sweetie Belle: "It's Sweetie Belle, which is me, and you guys better hope you have good insurence because my sister gets VERY touchy about her stuff being broken, so-"
 * Rills: "Well there ya go, Gor. (Grabs Sweeit Belle) Now let's blow this pop stand. (The two left)."
 * Scootaloo/Apple Bloom: "SWEETIE BELLE?!"
 * Scootaloo got on her scooter and Apple Bloom got on the tied wagon as the speeding Scootaloo chased after the two Gorilla Orcs.
 * Sweetie Belle: "HEY LET ME GO, YOU BIG GORILLAS?!"
 * Gor: "Ya did remember to park the car on the outskirts of town, right?"
 * Rills: "Gory, ya know me, alchourse I did. I- (Scootaloo began to spin around the duo confusing them as Apple Bloom was on the wagon) HOLY BROKAMOLY, WE'RE BEING ATTACKED BY NASCAR OVER HERE?!"
 * Gor: "Aw don't worry, it's just two kids, we can take them."
 * Sweetie Belle got an idea.....
 * Sweetie Belle: "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP?! I'M BEING KIDNAPPED BY GORILLA ORCS?!"
 * Rills: "Oh like these dainty ponies are gonna be a threat to us-"
 * A shadow loomed over the two!
 * Gor and Rills looked behind them to see Olhar....
 * Olhar: ".... Ya know, I was in the middle of doing some grosery shopping during my time off when I noticed this display. Kids, are these two yutbrains bothering ya?"
 * Gor and Rills blabbered like idiots.
 * Gor: "N--n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-NO, of course not, scary Cyclops!"
 * Rills: "We're uh.... With child protective services!"
 * Olhar: And just what are ya protecting Sweetie Belle here from?
 * Gor: "..... Sweatshop operation?"
 * Olhar: "Oh, by sweatshop operation, you mean the Crusader's campers' vollenteering on their own free will to help with Rarity's shop in Ponyville while she's away with her new shop in the Crystal Empire?"
 * Gor and Rills: "Uhhhhhhhh- (Olhar grabbed the two)...."
 * Olhar: "..... Look, I get it that Cyclopses are not famous for their smarts, nor good depth perception. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'M AN IDIOT?! And it isn't wise to try to lie to a Stone-Eye Cyclops, ya jackhats?!"
 * Gor: "Jackhats?"
 * Olhar: "Hey, there's kids present ya know, I can't afford to cuss."
 * Scootaloo: We've heard worse.
 * Rills: "Listen, buddy, we don't want any trouble, we're just doing our jobs?!"
 * Olhar: "Well in that case, I would like to complain to your manager. And who pray tell asked you two clowns to do so?"
 * Gor: "Sorry mack, confidentiality."
 * Olhar: ".... Okay then. I happen to know that Buzzord happens to like exspearimenting on Orcs and Orc variments because of their duriablity. And he would LOVE two new crash test dummies for his exspearimental dimension-transcending ship after he lost a Badlandian to a bad run. Poor sucker ended up in a United Universe where Xenomorths over-run everything. Tough break, ya know?"
 * Gor and Rills got scared at that.
 * Olhar: "So with that, let's meet the good Profess-"
 * Gor: NO, PLEASE, STOP! WE WERE SENT HERE BY A MEMBER OF THE E.E.A.!
 * Olhar: Typical! Okay, which one is it?! Neighsay? Is O'Hardknocks back? Or is this someone new?!
 * Rills: LADY MODE FEMME RE-HE-HE-HE-HEINE! (he and Gor sob out of fear)
 * Olhar: ".....Yup, it's a new one alright."
 * Apple Bloom: "Thanks for the help, Olhar."
 * Olhar: "No prob. Now how's about we make examples out of these two?"
 * Gor and Rills got frightened!
 * Gor and Rills are wedged onto a tree as alot of Filly and Colts laugh as they threw rotten food and mud at the two.
 * Barktrot: "..... You did well, Olhar."
 * Olhar: "Thanks. These guys will be held over until the boys from the prison for Mythics comes over to take these clowns off our hands."
 * Barktrot: "Quite. Now I must convey the message of this attempt and have it be known by Rarity that another E.E.A. member tried to stir things." (Suddenly the other fillies arrived upstaging a rescue as well but were upset Olhar already took care of it)
 * Tender Taps: AW DARN IT, WE WANTED TO SAVE HER!!
 * Apple Bloom: How? By snuggling them to death?
 * Diamond Tiara: Alright, who's got the balls or ovaries to do this?
 * Olhar: ANOTHER EEA member named Lady Mode Femme Reine. (All the fillies except Diamond groaned)
 * Silver Spoon: ANOTHER one?! How many of those jerks do we have to deal with?!
 * Diamond Tiara: Wait, Lady Mode Femme Reine? As in the EEA's head of fashion schools? My mom actually financed many of her schools years ago. Why would she... I'll answer that question with another, why am I asking a dumb question? Dare I ask why you need Sweetie Belle?
 * Olhar: Good question. You two mind answering her, lest we have you gain a scarring out-of-dimension experience?
 * Gor: "Well, you see, Manehatten got into a major bank issue crisis and Miss Mode lost her money, then her lawyer armada that would keep her safe from lawsuits, because recently-"
 * Diamond Tiara: "Let me guess: Mode tried to make her daughter Eye Beholder steal from Rarity and get scandelious info on the School of Friendship and Rarity has aimed to sue her for it?"
 * Rills: "Well yeah! Otherwise Mode would be unsueable! She's usually so rich, even the princesses can't touch her!"
 * Sweetie Belle: ".... Ugh, it's the Suri Polomare thing all over again!"
 * Diamond Tiara:... You don't think Rarity would willingly bankrupt everyone just to sue one pony?
 * Gor: Uhhhhh, YES! That's EXACTLY what happened.
 * Olhar: How stupid do you think we are?
 * Gor: Well they ARE kids.
 * Filly: OHHHHH SNAP!!
 * Rills: "Oh why did you have to say that, Gor?"
 * Gor: "Oh it can't be any worse then it is now-"
 * Bozzord's voice: "GOOD NEWS EVERYONE, MY DIMENSION TRANSCENDING SHIP IS BACK FROM THE XENOMOVERSE, AND AFTER EXTENSIVE CLEANING, IT'S READY FOR ANOTHER GLORIOUS TEST!? Now ONLY if that Badlandian had survived! No problem, I can always find another set of orcs!"
 * Gor and Rills got scared!
 * Gor: "OKAY OKAY, I LIED ABOUT THE RARITY THING?! TRUTH IS, WE DON'T KNOW WHY THE BANKS WENT KAPUT?!"
 * Rills: "MODE HAD DESIDED TO TRY AND GET RARITY FRAMED FOR IT TO PROTECT HERSELF FROM THE LAWSUIT?! (He covered his mouth)"
 * Sweetie Belle:... She, WHAT?!
 * Olhar: She wouldn't DARE!
 * Silver Spoon: Pretty sure she would.
 * Diamond Tiara: "Ya know, at this point, I feel like Rarity should stop trying to sue ponies if things like this keep happening."
 * Sweetie Belle: Well this time it's gone too far.
 * Apple Bloom: It's literally the third time this happened.
 * Sweetie Belle: And maybe we should keep it that way. We have to warn Rarity.
 * Scootaloo: "No kidding!"
 * Olhar: No need. You are a target and must be kept somewhere safe. I shall have someone inform her.
 * Apple Bloom: "Darn it, figures someone was gonna say that."
 * Barktrot: "Try to understand that we're looking at this logically. It's unlikely Mode or any other assusiate would have these two clowns as their only goons. There's bound to be others waiting to pick up the slack in an event of these two failing."
 * Sweetie Belle: Well with heroes like you around, good luck trying to get me.
 * Scootaloo: "We're not scared. We used to do crazy and dangerous stunts back when we were trying to get cutie marks."
 * Barktrot: Yes, but all of that is in the past. Besides, this is a far more dangerous situation than self-made shenanigans.
 * Apple Bloom: Well whatever happens, nopony messes with Sweetie Belle's sister!
 * Scootaloo: I couldn't have said it better.
 * Olhar: ".... I'm getting the feeling you three are a handful."
 * All 3: You have no idea.
 * Rarity:... Alright... Before we continue this fashion extravaganza, we need to avoid another Suri incident, on both me and the competitors. No thieves making anypony look like copycats. No scams. I want this to be a good introduction of my business to the Crystal Empire. The last ones were disasters, and I'll be dreaded if I let that happen here. No credit-stealers, no extortionist landlords, no unhygienic animals, no offense to Fluts, no disturbance-causing disc jockeys, and most importantly, no EEA members stealing from me as revenge. I want this, perfect!
 * Twilight:... Rarity? Are you okay?
 * Rarity: Never been better, darling! Why do you ask?
 * Applejack: Well... It's just... We feel ya might be taking this too far.
 * Rarity: What do you mean?
 * Twilight: Well since the last shop openings haven't went well, we feel you want this to be perfect.. Because you're afraid that those two incidents have given you a bad reputation.
 * Rarity:... Is it really that obvious?
 * Pinkie: It's called reading body language, Rares. And reading yours, was like reading Schooltastic Books.
 * Rainbow Dash: And considering how merciless you were to Suri in the past, it's not inaccurate.
 * Rarity:... Okay, you got me. It's just... Since Suri's usury and fashion fraud, and the last few boutique openings, I realized that there's ponies out there that'll always take advantage of me. Well no more. I want this to be perfect, no ifs ands or buts.
 * Twilight:... Isn't that kind of the reason why beggers can't be choosers? You really expect a perfect opening to be handed to you on a silver platter?
 * Rarity: Well I almost got taken advantage of AGAIN! I want this the way it is, and NEVER change. Just a simple boutique opening. Nothing more.
 * Rainbow Dash: Ugh! Are you for real? The UUniverses don't work that way! Life sucks, and when it gives you lemons, you make lemonade, not make life take the lemons back. You can't just avoid trouble. You only get trouble just by trying to avoid it.
 * Rarity: And is just ignoring the problem any better? Just let Mode just ruin me?
 * Rainbow Dash:... Well I see your point, but I wouldn't know the answer.
 * Rarity: Splendid. Then we all agree. Avoiding the problem won't work, so I must do this.
 * Pinkie: But where's the fun in making something it's own thing? You're basically asking for a stock boutique, and we both learned during the Zesty Gourmand mission that you must welcome variety.
 * Rainbow Dash: She's got you in a box there, Rarity.
 * Pinkie: "Heck, wasn't the conflict with Sassy Saddles that she tried too hard to have things planned too perfectly to the point where she made you make the same dress over and over and over and over and ov-"
 * Twilight: "Ahem!"
 * Pinkie: "Right... And Over again?"
 * Rarity thought about that.....
 * Rarity: "..... Well, yes, I do see your points. It's just... The fashion world being surprisingly cold, cut-throat and self serving had, gotten to me, ya know. You would think as one of the purest creatures in the universes, ethics to competitors would be treated to high regards."
 * Rainbow Dash: "Well yeah we're pure, but, it's not the kind of purity that's uncorrectable. We're not like those Butterfly Aliens Gazelle knows about."
 * Applejack: Yeah. Just because we're pure doesn't mean we're inbound from the shackles of mortal views like greed and selfishness. That's nature.
 * Rarity: Look, there's a first time for everything. I COULD use a normal boutique at least once. Is that honestly too much to ask?
 * Rainbow Dash: When it comes to asking something from life and fate itself, yes.
 * Rarity: Well I would love at least ONE boutique to be how I want it, without trouble. Like you said, it's my variety. Everywhere else has been forced upon me, with varied results. Well no more. I want a boutique of my image and nopony else. I can't always have it decided by others, because there's enough of those. It's technically undermining my name. So, I'll say this one last time, I, WANT, A ME BOUTIQUE!! PERIOD!!
 * Twilight: Well don't expect miracles, Rarity. Fate is not very good at bowing to personal whims.
 * Rarity: So you would rather have my business FAIL, BECAUSE OF THAT ARROGANT, GREEDY, RUTHLESS, NO-GOOD EQUINE EDUCATION ASSOCIATION?!
 * Applejack: Ho, there, Rarity, that's a little uncalled for!
 * Twilight: "We weren't saying that! We were saying that perfection's not an always easy thing to get!"
 * Rarity: Not with THAT attitude. We must make sure this is my day. This isn't because I don't appreciate being rich in variety. It's because it's MY business and these shenanigans are undermining the one in charge. It defeats the purpose if I'm not being allowed to open a boutique my own way.
 * Pinkie:... She's, KINDA got a point. It's only fair she get a turn.
 * Twilight: "All the same Rarity, try, to curb your expectations, okay?"
 * Rarity: (Inhales deeply, then sighs)... Very well.
 * Twilight: "Thank you, Rarity."
 * Rarity: What are friends for?
 * Vogue: "(Showed up) Rarity, thank goodness I found you, because the press presentation and several big names in fashion have just arrived."

Epilogue
(After Intermediate Scene)
 * Under-pay: (Dubbed as Mr. O'Bloat) Must we really make a deal with her?
 * Overtime: (Dubbed as Mr. Toplofty) Well, she IS Lady Mode's daughter. Besides, if we don't, the models stay out on strike and we go bankrupt.
 * Mr. Corporate: (Dubbed as Mr. Grasping) Patience. We'll find a way to regain control. Remember, style is fleeting, but fashion is forever. Also, there's always Fashion Week.
 * ???: I beg your pardon? (The three see Big Lardo from Rarity's Lawsuit Revenge staring intimidatingly at them)
 * Mr. Corporate: Never mind! (The three scram)
 * Big Lardo: Oh, I just love my new job!
