"On that bed over there. No, not that bed, that bed!"
A white hoof pointed towards one of the extra beds in SunnyDs newely re-built (and bigger) rooms. Quickly, a young, muscular stallion picked the suitcases he had just dumped on her main bed up and struggled to get them all in one trip to the other bed. One fell on the floor and popped open, spilling jewelry everywhere. The stallion looked down. Was that huge suitcase seriously filled with JUST jewelry? He had better get a good tip for this.
SunnyD gave an exasperated sigh. Some ponies were just completely incompetant. "That's good enough for now. I will get someone else to fix it." She pulled out a wad of cash and handed it over, "thanks for the help." If you could even call it that.
The stallion hurriedly left and SunnyD drapped herself dramatically over the couch. Jadus had been fun, but the boat trips to and from the island were rediculously long and boring and... coach. Hadn't they ever heard of first class? At least it hadn't been a Rainbow-forsaken hot air ballon. She detested those.

"Hello?" a soft voice spoke. Crystal Lace looked into the room and jumped with a blush when she spotted the moviestar. She shyly moved into view and gracefully bobbed her head, and brushed back the stray white locks of hair from her green eyes.
"Oh! I-I'm very sorry to interrupt you, Sunny Daze." Crystal Lace said a bit hurriedly. "I was just on my way to the library and somehow managed to find myself lost. I haven't been to the castle for sometime..."
Her blush was setting in deeper. Oh, of all ponies she was to come across in the castle, it had to be Sunny Daze who also happened to be one of the most beautiful and talented ponies in Ponyville. But that is just Lacy talking and now she felt like an idiot.

SunnyD lifted her forleg from her eyes when she heard the hello and smiled to herself when the other was shocked. The girl was young and shy, but my Rainbows she had a fabulous jeweled symbol. Perhaps she was royalty from elsewhere?
SunnyD stood up in a fluid movement and smiled. "Not to worry my dear, it seems that stupid stallion forgot to close the door on his way out. But I'm sure you know how that can be, when the lowers try to do anything."
She walked over to Lacy and took her foreleg, walking her back inside and sitting her down. "Its no wonder you haven't been to our castle in so long, as it was just rebuilt. But tell me dear, where are YOU from?"

"But I'm sure you know how that can be, when the lowers try to do anything."
the lowers? Crystal Lacy found it a bit difficult to understand what SunnyD meant by "the lowers". Also she and so she said nothing except give a slightly puzzled expression. The violet-pink mare allowed SunnyD to lead her into the room.
"Oh?" Lacy was a bit surprised by the question. Surely SunnyD might have noticed her around the castle before it was destroyed... then again it was a long time ago, and SunnyD may not have much interest in the Library or the time to browse through the bookshelves.
"I am from here, from Ponyville, and I have been here ever since." She said quietly. "Though I was on a holiday a good while ago and just got back recently."

From Ponyville. So she wasn't royalty from elsewhere? Well that just simply would not do. Oh no, if SunnyD was going to take Lacy under her wing and make her into a little protege' (which she had already gotten it into her mind to do) Lacy could not just be some randomly bejeweled pony from Ponyville.
"If anyone asks, you are a long lost cousin of Magesty and are hiding out here from those who would seek to end the line of the old Queen." She paused a moment and thought, "and you should really hide that symbol. How are you going to convince ponies you are in hiding when you are prancing around with a symbol such as that?"

"Wha?" Lacy was becoming confused by what SunnyD was going on about. A long lost cousin of Magesty? In hiding? It just didn't seem to click to Lacy. Anyway, hasn't she lived in Ponyville long enough for the ponies to recognise her, or has everyone already forgotton about book-loving Crystal Lace? This troubled the mare; Lacy did not like the thought of being forgotten, but its not like she went around town often anyway.
"N-no. I-I cannot lie to others!" She said, stuttering. "It is not right to say that I am someone I am not. And... and..." She glanced at her cutie mark. "I don't want to hide my symbol either. I... I rather like it. Why shouldn't I share something I like with others? I don't see how any of this would convince anyone."

The mare leaned in close to the younger one, "how do you know its not a lie?" She moved back and raised her eyebrows in question.
"Doesn't matter to me if you hide your symbol, but suppose you are the long-lost cousin of the queen of Dream Valley and there really are evil ponies out looking for you? I should think you would hide your symbol in that case, so they wouldn't notice at first glance who you really were."
Perhaps it would not be unfair to say that occassionally SunnyD got into her role as an actress a little too much.

"W-well... umm... eh..." Lacy found that she couldn't answer this.
She knew that she should have a generalised idea of her family tree; then again the mare was always wrapped up in her books... But still. She found the story a tad far-fetched... Her somehow related tot he queen? And exactly how many evils were running about hunting down any distant relations?
But what if... No! I mustn't let my imagination run wild. she thought to herself.
"well..." Lacy continued quietly. "I... I find it rather unlikely. I have been living rather quietly... and peacefully; and I-I doubt that evil ponies w-would be looking for me. A...Anyway, there are a few other ponies in t-t-town with jewelled symbols, and, well, they seem rather, well." Though I have not spoken to them personally She added in thought.

"Others with jeweled symbols?" SunnyDs eyes opened in shock. Just how many of these little sprites had such symbols? Rainbows, she wanted a jeweled symbol! Of course, after last years tattooing experiance, to make her symbol double-sided, she didn't really feel like going and getting a jewel placed into them both. Although if she had Kail there the little mare could just heal her right away. Oooh, now that was a good idea.
"Well then, perhaps hiding the symbol shant be necessary. As long as there are others around as bait, you should be safe." She would not let go of the "fact" that Lacy must be a long-lost of the now-deceased Queen.
She thought of telling the girl to keep a low profile, but instead, "well, stick with me child and my bodyguards can help keep you safe as well. But uh, we are going to have to do something about your accessories! The glasses are kind of cute, in a I-never-take-my-head-out-of-my-books way, but some earrings would be nice, as well as a bracelet maybe, and something for your hair."
She hopped up and walked over to the bed where the jewelery-filled suitcase had been dumped and started to rummage through it.

((Magesty is dead?  )) Lacy couldn't help but feel relieved that she didn't hide her symbol, but now it sounded like she would have to be kept near the castle at all times... at least there was the easy access to the library... "Accessories?" Lacy repeated, adjusting her glasses. She glanced down at herself and touched her hair; she wasn't really into the jewelery. She found it abit of a bother having to dress up only to have to remove it at the end of the time. She personally would rather spend such time on reading, or analysing a newly found poem. The only jewelery she wore was her silver charmbracelet which she was always wearing, out of habit. SunnyD seemed all into this whole lets-dress-up-lacy thing, so the mare decided to keep quiet and let the actress have it her way. As long as I get to the library... well I'm happy. Lacy thought to herself. |

(OOC: Majesty has been dead since Kail's mother was a little child. Or at least she has been off the throne since then. By the time Bella got to DV (late teens I think?), Serena had been queen for quite some time.)
SunnyD found a few random items in her bag and held them up to the light to watch them sparkle. "Here we go, a bracelet, necklace, earrings, and a couple of hair baubbles." She turned to Lacy and noticed the bracelet she already had on. "Oh. Well, that's ok, I hear charm bracelets are all the rage this season."
She set to work putting all the random jewelrys on Lacy, sweeping up her hair and pinning it there with colorfully jeweled pins. "There, NOW you look like a princess." She nodded confidently.

((oh ok...))
Again, Lacy was glad she could keep on what she already had, though she still was uncertain of the accessories. With out protest, she allowed SunnyD to put on the jewelery and such and once the actress had finished, glanced at the mirror.
"Well..." Crystal Lace found that she couldn't say anything to it... actually she had to admit to herself, she did look pretty with the jewelery, like a princess from some story and the mare smiled a little. But she felt a strange awkwardness. She wasn't use to wearing so much. And she didn't feel like she deserved wearing the jewels either.
"Hmm..." She turned her head to the side to study the earring as they caught some light and shimmered a little. "I guess, I... I do. But will I always have to wear these?" She asked quietly, turning to look at SunnyD.

SunnyD kept right on smiling, happy with her little day's project. "Oh no dear, you dont ALWAYS have to wear them. Bed and showers are usually jewelry-free. But if your going to be seen in public, well then of course you want to wear them! Although not the same things everyday. That will make you look cheap, and we don't want to look cheap." The look on her face suggested that looking cheap was the worst thing you could ever possibly do.
"We should go over to Dash sometime soon. I could use a few new things, and we will HAVE to get you something."

Everyday? I have to wear these... For a moment, Lacy felt the erge to get up and run off before SunnyD had the chance to put on more jewelery. Crystal Lace wasn't always concerned with the way she looked; she dressed comfortably, and anyway, she didn't like attracting too much attention. But only then did she begin to feel "cheap"; she wore the same bracelet and glasses everyday. The look on SunnyD's face didn't make her feel better either.
"D-d-dash?" Crystal Lace stammered. "I... I don't know. I-I mean... I appreciate what you are trying to do, but I am just not sure about all this jewelery and wearing it out in public... don't you think it would attract too much attention? Or even unwanted attention?" Lacy was thinking about what SunnyD had spoken of either; about the evil hunting down Magesty's descendents and all. Though the pony didn't believe so much in it, it might help...

" don't you think it would attract too much attention? Or even unwanted attention?"SunnyD hadn't thought of that. Yes, perhaps alot of jewelry would attract too much attention. She frowned and crossed her arms. "Good point. We don't want to make you a target. Maybe we will just pick you up a couple of conservative, everyday things and then something really nice for parties and the like." Of course, Lacy had no idea what SunnyD's idea of conservative was
