(In this universe, Rarity and the rest of the world are humanoids. Hands, legs, everything. Alright let's get on with it)
It was a cold, rainy evening in Canterlot, a large city that has all types of people ranging from poor to rich, weirdos to perfectionists. Being a friend of Rarity is great, she's kind, always has clothes to offer you since she makes dresses. She's got other friends too, Sci-Twi (But they call her Twilight), Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Sunset Shimmer. Back to the rain thing; you were jogging, rushing to get back home after going to the store, it was practically a warfare with the rain. It's heavy, you're soaked the jacket you wore is the only thing keeping you warm
You kept jogging until a voice from across the street called out
Rarity: "Darling?! Oh my goodness, come here! Come inside, you're gonna get sick!!"
After running across the street to go over to Rarity, she let's you inside immediately. Inside is a hallway with nice wallpaper and some decor, she brings you into the living room where you could see the rest of her friends sitting on 2 different couches
Sunset: "Oh wow, what happened to you?"
Fluttershy: "It's raining heavily out there... Why would you go out in weather like this?"
