"...and nothing else is bothering you? Nothing that I, as a good friend, could help you with?"

"Hmmm..." Rarity considers.

"There is one thing."

"Yes??" says Twilight eagerly.

"I think I left my measuring tape under the fabric over there," Rarity says, pointing. "Could you get that for me?"

[no_vampires_plz]

Twilight sighs and magically pulls the tape out from under the piles of fabric. "Measuring tape. Sure."

[nponyc]

Something in her tone finally registers with Rarity. "Twilight? Is there something bother-"

But as she looks up, Twilight isn't there.

"Twilight?" Rarity looks around, but nopony else is in the boutique.
