They saw thousands of ponies, more than Sweetie Belle had ever seen in her life. She gasped at how many there were. It was sensory overload. Yet she handled herself well - she stuck close to Rarity.
For lunch, they went to the racetrack, and ate world-famous Filly Stakes sandwiches while watching the hoofraces.
Then Rarity toured several of the most posh and glamourous dress shoppes in Fillydelphia's garment district. Sweetie Belle did see some interesting designs, but she didn't have the eye her sister did for fashion.
After a light dinner, they arrived at the stadium for the concert.
It was amazing. Sapphire Shores performed her most famous hits, along with half of the tracks from her new album. She kept the best costume change for the final encore, and Sweetie Belle was dazzled by her voice and her stagecraft.
After the show, they were invited backstage by a stagehand. Sapphire had seen Rarity in the audience. "Rarity, thanks to you, I was SENSATIONAL tonight. Yeah!"
Sweetie Belle couldn't speak at first, she was so overjoyed to finally meet her idol. Then, they couldn't stop talking.
It turned out Sapphire Shores was still a blankflank; singing was her business and her art, but not her true calling, not her one perfect purpose in life. She had tried everything she knew how to do, but nothing was ordained by the fates, so she made her business doing what pleased her the most.
Sweetie Belle had no idea such a thing was even possible. "I like to sing too," said Sweetie Belle. |
