Christmas Negotiations (Early Access) (Patreon)

Christmas is upon us once more and Everypony wants to look their best for the big day and word on the street Rarity has a fabulous new collection of dresses and fabrics guaranteed to sell like hot-cakes the moment those doors open.

Of course word travels fast, so it was not long before Suri Polomare caught wind of the goings on and made a B-line straight for Rarity's workshop to see if the rumors were indeed true. Upon arrival, she was met with extreme scrutiny which was expected after the little stunt she pulled last time, Rarity and co. were on high alert determined to keep the secret of the collection as such.

"Oh, Please Rarity what can one harmless glance do?" Suri begged, clutching her hands together widening her eyes in a desperate attempt to appeal to Rarity's forgiveness.

"Plenty, as a matter of fact!" Rarity snapped back, turning her back to Suri, arms crossed, a puff of steam jettisoned from her snout.

"Please Rarity, I'll do anything?" Suri dropped to her knees looking awfully desperate

Rarity's eyes shot open for a brief second, before settling down into a confident smile. Remembering that she did hear that Suri's Market was indeed struggling to keep up with her own especially after what happened in Manhattan.

"anything, you say?" Rarity Questioned, turning her head ever so slightly until she was able to see Suri still on her knees

"Anything" Suri shot back. She was serious

"Well... I suppose one little glance couldn't hurt and it is Christmas after all" Rarity spoke nonchalantly, pretending to inspect her nails as she turned to face Suri once more

With those words Suri jumped right back to her feet, a smile stretching ear-to-ear, on the cusp of embracing Rarity.

"However!" Rarity spoke abruptly , stopping Suri dead in her tracks almost tripping over herself from the sudden halt

"It's been rather... difficult to produce this beautiful new collection of ours and the girls and I are positively famished for some well needed... respite" Rarity explained, as she makes her way over to a desk that was sitting a few feet away

"So... i think it would be more than appropriate to ask for some... payment in advance?" Rarity turned her back to the desk and leaned on it waiting for Suri to give a response.

"I-I'm sure these conditions are well within my parameters" Suri answered, slightly nervous of what she was getting herself in the middle of

"Wonderful"

Rarity turned back around to face the desk and leaned over to the hidden microphone that sat humming to itself awaiting a voice to wake it back to life

"Girls... She said yes" a smile snuck its way across Rarity's face

Suri, realized that her unannounced visit was an expected one all along.
