Flame was one of the first few volunteers that were helping with setting up the lights for the photo shoot location in the town. Flame felt excited to see Fleur again after so long, though he didn’t know why he so eager about seeing her. Though despite all his excitement, he had some worries... What if she turned into one of those stereotypical celebrities who act as if they’re the only in the world that matters? And that those around and below them must abide by their every wish. Would she even bother to remember him and all those before? Maybe see him as a “commoner”? Would she even see him? She’d probably have that “celebrity vision” where they see everyone/pony who no longer matters as a blur with the rest of the unimportant world.

“No no, what in Tarturus am I thinking?! My Fleur would never become like that. I know her better than anypony else in this land!” he said with a proud smile on his face that quickly became a frown. “Well…maybe her husband…I mean they have been married for 8 years and…gah dammit!” he shook off the thoughts and went back to work making sure everything was in order for their arrival.

Though Flame wasn’t the only one in the circle of friends he had that volunteered to help out around the shooting location. Over to Rarity, whose assignment is to fix any dresses that got damaged in the move over from Canterlot. She was also put in charge to decide if there’ll be a backdrop or not for the pictures and which ones would be needed for the shoot.

High above the town, Rainbow Dash continued her task of cleaning out any lingering clouds around ponyville, while guiding her fellow weather pegasi. She had been told that some shots may need less sun, while others would require a storm like setting for later. She honestly didn’t want to go through all the trouble of helping out with the shoot, but once she heard that Flame had signed up she easily found herself motivated. If he thought it was important to help, then it must be pretty cool and important.

Other than the weather ponies above, many other ponies rushed about with their own preparations for the shoot. Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Big Macintosh all found themselves setting the table with drinks and snacks. Some treats were healthy apple snacks from the siblings, while the rest were Pinkie’s own special cupcakes and other sugary confections had made prior. She had jumped at the opportunity as soon as she heard a caterer was needed for main crew and set-up volunteers. When the Apple family heard about the shoot, they saw it as a chance to have those outside of Ponyville try their famous apples. Applejack and Big Macintosh simply couldn’t say no to an opportunity so big and signed up along with Pinkie. They even brought out their best apple cider to the set, four barrels of their purest stuff just for the guests.

Raven had even signed up, Flame had actually told her—well made her—that she needed to sign up. He said, “If you’re going to live with me, then you’re going to have to pull around your own weight here.” They had put her in charge of looking through the dresses with a picture in her hoof of Fleur to get the idea of her wearing them.

As she did, she began to have thoughts come into her head about the dresses and how they would hug against the model’s elegant, regal figure. As she continued to look through and select the dressed she began to have her regular thoughts of the mare in a dress were becoming very lewd. She grinned with her changeling tongue out now as it licked around her lips at the very thought of taking this voluptuous mare. She continued to think about taking the mare down and ravaging her body like an animal in heat as she continued to look through the dresses before her.

Flame completed his contribution to the shoot as he flew a few hooves back and looked around checking for any details he may have forgotten. He smiled at his work as he turned to see his Golden Eyes handing out assignment sheets to other ponies. She smiled as she saw her saddle bag was now finally empty knowing her job was done.

Flame approached her from behind and gently kissed her cheek as he wrapped an arm around her neck.

“Hey Golden Eyes.” He said with a smile on his face as he gently nuzzled her cheek getting a cute giggle out of the beautiful mare.

She returned the nuzzle with a warm smile as she got a little closer to him. “Hey Flamey, so, how’s the set up here?”

“Going great so far, it’ll be good to see Fleur again though.”

Derpy would catch him mentioning her name a lot since the sign up but would push off the feeling. Though she subconsciously kept some suspicion in her head but it was too little for her to truly notice. She simply smiled at him and pulled his head to her to face her and then kissed him.

He returned the kiss happily smirking at her as he did. Though the problem with a set of lips meeting up with a beak causes…a lot of complications. Basically each kiss had to be a Prench one but luckily they kept them close so nopony could see their display of tonguesmanship just for a simple kiss.

As Flame and Derpy broke apart their kiss they heard the sound of a chariot approaching and turned their heads to see it land. Once it did it opened up to reveal a red carpet fly out of it and lay itself down.

As ponies gathered around to see who would come out, first was Miss Photo Finish as she walked out with her held up high as she signaled and two more ponies come out. One of them set up her camera for her as the other one held a portable DJ table around his neck playing a song.

(It’s the song “Picture Perfect Pony” without the words. Song belongs to “Mandopony” and animation is JanAnimations)

The two earth pony stallions holding both sets of equipment began to bob their heads to the beat with one having a smirk as the song played. As the song went a cyan earth pony mare in a grey and white dress with a pink somewhat scarf around her neck. Pink diamond shape emblems sewed into it as well. She was wearing black sunglasses with pink lenses in them. She had a light grey mane and tail as well as she walked out keeping her eyes straight ahead then stopped and turned with her head up high as another earth pony exited the chariot.

It was Hoity Toity! He stopped at the front step and adjusted his sunglasses before walking out to the song as well. Mares all around were staring at him with smiles, some with hearts in their eyes as they watched him walk by. One mare jumped at him but he easily repelled her with a hoof to the face as she smiled and squealed just for the contact. He stood by Photo Finish as his head was put up as well.

Then Fancy Pants stepped out of the carriage and held his hoof out for his wife as Fleur gently took it and walked out with him. The minute she stepped out there were cheers, hoots, hollering from stallions and mares alike as she walked down the red carpet with Fancy Pants. Fleur smiled at the many ponies cheering at her. She was already used to this but every day she loved it more and more since she left the dancing gig behind her and moved on.

Flame eyes instantly stuck to her when she stepped out of the carriage. He took in everything about her since the last time they saw each other 8 years ago. Her mane had grown out to a more luscious cut as it was once shorter and tied with a purple bow in a small ponytail. She used to have braces as well on her top teeth due to an accident that had occurred back in Detrot when she had them broken as a threat to her father. She also once had little hairs that popped up every now and then, he found them adorable. Her figure was more elegant, more regal in appearance, he had once thought it was before but now it truly was, like Princess Luna really.

She never noticed his stares but she did feel like there was a close eye on her, a confident one. She looked around again waving to her fans but she then stopped at the sight of the familiar griffon before her. She looked ahead and noticed him looking at her with his same proud smile. She continued to walk even after Fancy had stopped next to Hoity.

“Fleur? Fleur dear where are you going?”

Hoity lowered his glasses and looked at the mare, “Hmmmmm, she’s walking towards that griffon over there? Just who is that? Hmmmm...it could be—”

Photo eyed the griffon as well, “Hmmmmm…perhaps ve can use him in some shoots no?”

“I don’t know Finish, he seems…common.”

“So vas Fleur mind you Hoity! And now she makes…the magics!”

Once Fleur and Flame were face to face, eye to eye. A smile slowly growing on Fleur’s face as they stared at each other. Flame was also growing a smile as he stared at her as well, he looked down at her, eyes locking with each other, she was still shorter than him of course. They looked into each other’s eyes smiling with slight blushes across both their faces as well. They began to remember their times together and how much one helped the other and vice versa.

Those eyes of his, those ruby red shining eyes. They were always able to captivate her whenever she was near the griffon. She soon had tears of joy in her eyes as she continued to stare at the griffon.

Flame had his eyes only closed halfway as he smiled at her, he knew she wanted to speak but she couldn’t. She then put her hoof over her mouth as the tears went down her cheeks. He smiled at her and took two steps to her to be closer as he took his hoof into both his claws and they gazed upon one another still.

“Hey there Fleur…” he said with his warm smile to the happily crying unicorn mare.

“Flame!” she shouted in pure joy as she wrapped her forelegs around him tightly and got close for one of their snuggling hugs. She was so overjoyed to see him after 8 years she couldn’t hold back the many tears of joy as the griffon returned the hug. Once again Flame’s original circle of friends and his lover Derpy smiled at their little heartwarming reunion but the mane 6 were very, once again very confused at the meeting hug, none of them knowing how Flame could possibly know the famous mare.

A few stallions and mares in the volunteer crowd were confused as well. A majority of the stallions were jealous though as they kept hugging one another with pure happiness. Others were just plain confused. The only other stallions that weren’t jealous or confused were Hoity and Fancy, Fancy knew from Fleur’s stories that this was the gentlecolt Flame that kept her safe before he arrived. Hoity simply remembered him from the interview on his talk show earlier in the week before and gave a slight smirk to Fancy.

“Well Fancy, it seems Fleur is showing more emotion to this charming young griffon than you yourself, are you jealous? I sense that you are.~” Hoity kept up his little smirk as he looked to the unicorn’s face for any sign of anger and or jealousy.

Fancy gave him none as he kept smiling at seeing his wife so happy. He knew Hoity wanted a reaction but there was none to give him as he felt no jealousy, in his mind he knew Fleur loved him and saw this griffon as a guardian of some sort after hearing the many stories about his kindness and generosity towards his wife. He decided to introduce himself as he walked over to them, using his magic to adjust his bow tie and his monocle over his left eye, his shirt and even his coat as well to make sure nothing was uneven on any side of his suit along with adjusting his mane before going to meet his wife’s old friend.

As Fancy Pants approached them, Fleur and Flame broke off the hug as he used his talons to gently wipe away her tears all the while keeping his smile and his focus on her.

“Hehehe, still got that cute face eh Fleur?”

She smiled and only nodded as she was too overcome with joy of course to use any words being to describe just how truly happy she was. She could only think the words as her lips were unresponsive to her. “He’s still the same as he ever was before he left.” She thought to herself. That thought quickly changed as she then noticed the pink scar going down his left eye and the harsh crack spread across his beak. She gently out her hoof to his beak and felt the crack there, she frowned slightly in sadness at his wound but found no difference in the griffon she once knew. Before long her husband approached them and cleared his throat, this snapped Fleur and Flame back into reality as they looked to him with shocked looks and then looked away from him with their faces in each other’s direction but their eyes darted to the floor instead.

Fancy raised his brow a bit at this but smiled with a chuckle as well, “Hehehe, well, did I interrupt the two of you?” he said as he stood next to Fleur and gave her cheek and gentle kiss as she happily returned it.

Fleur got a bit closer to Fancy as she continued to smile at Flame. Flame cleared his throat and shook off the blush from before as he then looked up to the unicorn who was only about 2 inches taller than him and gave his usual friendly smile. As he did he extended his open claw out to him.

"It's nice to meet you Mr. Fancy Pants, it's nice to know little Fleur found Mr. Right."

Fancy shook his claw as his talons wrapped around his hoof. Fancy had to admit it was a strange new feeling for him, it felt as if those rivets with the spiral around the outside brushing against his hoof as they shook. But it wasn't unpleasant, he rather enjoyed it.

"It's nice to meet you as well old sport, Fleur has told me quite a bit about you and what you did for her." he then nuzzled Fleur's cheek softly with a smile as she graciously returned it with a little giggle.

Flame smiled at them, she was very happy Fleur found the right one to treat her right. "Well, I hope she didn't say too much about what I did." he scratched the back of his head letting out a quiet chuckle as he was slightly nervous about what was said.

"No no not at all, nothing too personal old sport." he said with a smile. "Though she did mention some.."Friends with Benefits", was that right Fleur?"

This made both the model unicorn and the tall griffon turn completely red in the face. Fleur darted her eyes quickly to the floor as Flame let all his feathers stand straight up. He looked away a bit as well hearing Fleur mention the times where the two of them had some privacy for one another. Fancy gave a hearty chuckle at the two of them and patted his back. "It's quite right old sport, she didn't go into TOO much detail, she only mentioned the term for you both and nothing more, I swear."

Flame relaxed a tiny bit of this but his blush remained on his face. He looked to Fleur who also relaxed a bit but was still blushing as well shooting her a smile which she graciously returned as well again. Fancy looked ahead and noticed a familiar white unicorn with a three diamond cutie mark, he smiles and approached her always happy to see an old friend.

"Ah Lady Rarity, it's so good to see you again, how have you been since your last visit to Canterlot?"

Rarity smiled back up at her friend and gave a polite little bow, "I've been just great Fancy, business still good as well, how've you yourself been?"

"Quite alright really, can't complain at all really." he used his magic to take off his monocle and use his cloth from suit to gently clean the small little pieces of dirt off of it before putting it back. "Although Sapphire Shores is really getting on my nerves, just last week that mare—"

As Fancy and Rarity continued their conversation, Flame and Fleur would have their own as well.

"So...I see you got rid of the braces there."

Fleur smiled a bit showing her teeth confirming she didn't have braces but the straightest teeth and probably the only real teeth any model has. "Yes I did, about a month after you left really, and I also ditched that stupid how."

"Nooooooooooo, no I liked the bow in your hair with that little pony tail you had in it, it was so cute." He said with a little rub of her mane with his claw messing it up slightly like in the good ol' days.

She giggled and let out a little squeal, "Nooooooooooo not my maaaaane!" they both laughed happily for each other as they looked at one another.

Fleur notice a familiar grey mare finally approaching and trotted over to her. "Derpy!" she said with full of excitement as the two hugged. Their cheeks pressed against one another's with their lips nearly reaching contact with one another. Their hooves wrapped tightly around the other one with cute little giggles as well.

Flame remembered the scene from back when they were younger. This was a scene straight out of one of their threesome nights. They say on the bed as they hugged closely. Rubbing both their flanks slowly brushing their hooves over their cutie marks slowly letting out little moans of pleasure as they did, their lips a mere inch apart from one another. They would come closer and kiss slowly, throwing passion into their sensual feel of the moment as they had their tongues meet inside and wrestle for dominance as he watched with eager anticipation for what would happen next. He would slowly stroke his griffon cock, his talons brushing against his little spines as he waited for them to get good and ready before giving them a faci—

"Whoa whoa! Reel it back Flamey, that ain't gonna happen again any time soon! Just...wait till your alone to reminisce and beat it." he said mentally as he walked over to the hugging mares and pat their heads.

"Well now this is nice, you two hugging again, this reminded me of-"

A grey hoof kept his beak shut as he tried to remind them as well of the scene, "Nuh uh uh, not anymore Flamey, that time is over." Derpy said with a little grin.

"Ooooooh you never know Derpy, one night out, one of us has been drinking far too much, the sober one helps the other one as they carry them home. They get to the room, they pull the sober one to them, smirking as they do, their faces now mere inches apart."

"Sweat dripping down both their faces in anticipation."

"The lips draw closer to one another as one of them stops and says, 'This is wrong'"

"'I don't care' says the other as their lips make contact, roughly pulling on one another's as they sink their tongues inside, licking all around the wet orifice."

"Hooves gently stroking the others abdomen and stomach regions as they reach their dripping wet slits."

"Until finally their on the bed and then they...they..." Derpy then along with Fleur bonked the griffon on the head as he was snapped back to reality. Before the hit he was imagining the scene before him, a blush growing on his face as he let his wings spring up in a wing boner showing his pure excitement with it. Once they hit him he held his head in pure pain as he tightly closed his eyes.

"Gah! My head! What in Tartarus was that for?!"

"For your dirty little mind, dirty birdy.~" Derpy said as she looked away with Fleur.

Fleur darted her eyes to Derpy and hoof bumped her as they both shared a sly smirk.

"Hehehe, still got it."

"Oh yea."

They giggles together before Photo Finish came back over. She was about to drag away Fleur for a shot but easily stopped when her eyes went to Derpy. She looked her up and down, left and right, inspected her body.

"You!" she said, her voice full of authority as she pointed her hoof to Derpy. Derpy had a confused look on her face with her right eye a little off as usual. Photo got closer to her and trotted around her body inspecting her carefully. She began by checking her wing size, seeing if they were compatible with any of the designer dresses they had on sight and if they were freshly preened and neatly kept for a professional appearance. Once she was done with her feathers she inspected her mane, checking for any imperfections, even the slightest ones. Imperfections such as split ends, knots in her mane and tail, dandruff which simply won’t do! She also didn’t want any extensions, Photo was all for perfection but she wanted the best! The perfect perfection meaning all natural, anything false would show fraud and she would not have her good name sullied by such a travesty.

Derpy was feeling uncomfortable with all of this, she wanted to speak but every time she opened her mouth she would be quickly silenced by Photo Finish’s hoof before a word got out.

“But I—”

“Silence you! I am making deductions and must have complete silence!” she clapped her hooves together twice and the musical pony who had a guitar for a cutie mark who had the record stood by her side. He continued to bob his head as did she to the beat as the inspection continued.

She began to move along her body soon to her flank. Derpy turned a bright red as she felt her hooves feel around her flank and grew closer to her plot hole. She wanted to break away but as when she tried to speak, Ms. Finish would pull her back and make her stay in place as she continued the inspection. She had a smirk when she was around the plot region finding it to be just right for a few sensual shots. She then forcibly opened her mouth and took a look at her gums and teeth. Her gums had a very healthy bright pink and pure white teeth, not a single sign of plague or gingivitis could be found anywhere on her teeth and gums. Photo had a smile, an actual smile on her face as she finished her inspection of the young mare’s body. She put her hoof under the mare’s chin and made her stare into her eyes.

“You, those beautivul golden eyes ov yours! I vill make them and you a star!” she said as she signaled two mares, both earth ponies to come over. As they arrived they quickly dragged her away as she kept a dumbstruck look on her face, completely oblivious to the events that had just transpired before her very eyes.

Flame shared a dumbstruck look as well as he looked to Ms. Finish. She simply looked to him then looked away before walking away as well. Hoity Toity joined her and began to yell at her as they walked, something about “a mare like that can’t—” was all Flame could get out of their “conversation” before Lovely poked his side which quickly snapped him back into reality.

“What?” he said as he looked to her.

She had her hoof covering her mouth as she was clearly holding back her giggling. She was trying very hard to stay quiet but she let some giggles slip through her lips and hoof. She pointed with her right wing like how Flame would point with a talon to him. Flame looked himself up and done and all around to find what she was talking about. He thought there wasn’t anything there until he looked back to his back and saw his wings, sprung up, fully erect and as stiff as a plank of 2X4 wood.

His face quickly became engulfed in a bright red blush at the sight of his wings and tried to force them back down with all his muscle power but to no avail. He even tried to use his claws to try and push them down and that was a bust as well. As he continued to try and force them down, one of his wings came back up and practically uppercutted him. His eyes began to twirl around in his head the world spinned as well, at least to him it was spinning.

Soon as his eyes continued to twirl around he was then able to stop them with his claws as he clamped them to his head tightly making two loud slap sound echo as one. He looked to Lovely with a smile. His eyes were just as derped as Derpy’s with Lovely giving a disturbed expression considering one of them was purely white meaning he was seeing inside his own head right now instead of what’s in front of him. She gave his head one hard smack making him look the other one as his popped back into their right position.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh oh yes! That felt good.” Flame said with an odd smile as he cracked his neck as he slowly rolled it around.

Lovely cringed a bit the loud pops with every slight movement of his neck but shook it off not really too surprised by her brother’s reaction to the hit. She was glad though he was okay now though despite the two hard hits his face and head just took.

“Feeling better bro?”

“Oh yea never better— waaaaaait a minute!”

She raised an eyebrow at his little shout.

“Where’s my Golden Eyes?”

Lovely pointed a hoof over to her and Photo Finish as she began to trot over to Derpy who was behind a rack of dresses, Fleur following suit, they stopped once they reached Raven who was currently looking through dresses for Derpy to try on after her current one.

"You! Are you ze wardrobe manager?" Photo said with her hoof pointing to Raven as she held her head up.

"Yes I—"

"I only need yes! Now, let me see, ze magics!" she said as she shot her hoof up to the sky with her head as well.

Raven furrowed her brow at the rude made but ignored it and walked over to Derpy who was currently getting into the dress behind the rack. Raven pulled the rack away and showed Derpy as she was now in a magnificent dress.

Pure black with sparkles spread across the dress, little cuts that opened up as it went down on only one of her flanks to show her cute bubble cutie mark. The dressed hugged perfectly—not too tightly or too loose—to her body as it was able to show her invisible curves in her figure that the dress had revealed, as it was now having her look more sensual to those around her. Raven was proof of this as she grinned to the mare getting a little too close for comfort.

Fleur’s dress had a similar design. White with black sparkles across it, hugging to her figure a little tighter than Derpy’s. She had become accustomed to the tight fits of these dresses over the years. Photo had no time to inspect Fleur, knowing full well that she can make any dress look good for her and the camera.

Photo had to give just one last inspection of Derpy in her dress. She found it perfect, she found no flaw in her body or mane. She was the perfect mare for this dress and Photo knew it, but she started to feel something scratch at her. Something on the mare was off, something would drag attention away from the dress and her magnificent body in said dress.

"Something is wrong here...but vhat?!" Photo continued the inspection, repeated the inspection numerous times yet wasn't able to see it. Derpy tried to to get a word in but again to no avail, she couldn't even utter a syllable as she was quickly silence by the earth pony's hoof.

Derpy’s anger began to quickly rise with each shushing, she already knew what Photo was not seeing considering Derpy uses it to see. She tried once more but again silenced before a word got out with a hoof into her mouth this time. That was the last straw for Derpy, she grabbed the cyan earth pony's hoof and pushed it and her away.

Photo stood back and stared at Derpy in pure shock as she was just pushed away. No model before had ever laid a hoof on Photo Finish or even try stop her, letting her do what she does best in this line of work. Derpy approached the mare and got in her face now, eyes inches apart as their foreheads were in full contact with one another.

"Now listen to me Ms. “Photo Finish!” I'm tired of you shushing me, we met only a few minutes ago and you're already treating me poorly, that's not nice in the slightest! You have to learn to let those who work for you speak because then maybe you can achieve more of this "magics" if you took all the corn out of your ears!" Derpy yelled with all her anger and irritation as the white haired earth pony fell back onto her back from the sheer force of the yelling with her eyes shot wide open. Her glasses slipping slightly off of her face now on her nose as she stared up still looking into the clear skies above as her entourage surrounded her to cheek on her condition.

Hoity Toity was also in shock as his glasses were shot up to his forehead showing his dinner plate wide eyes and pinprick sized irises, mouth agape as he stared at the scene before his very eyes. He had never seen Photo Finish in such shock before, yes she has been yelled at by others, examples would be Fancy Pants and himself, she would ignore any other rude comments yelled to her but this pegasus made the mare fall straight onto her back. He wanted to go see but he was truly terrified that the pegasus mare would start yelling at him as well.

Fancy wasn't as shocked as Hoity but shocked nonetheless as his monocle fell off of his eye and hung from his coat, dangling as it fell over and hung there suspended by the string. His eyes not as wide but wide open still as his mouth was slightly open in the shock of what had just happened. Though he was quicker to shake it off as his horn glowed and he took his monocle back and played it onto his eye again, taking it off again as he did notice some fogging and took out his rag to wipe it away.

Fleur held her hoof to her mouth as she gasped in the shock of her friend yelling at one of her two bosses right in front of her. She was quite scared for Derpy now, she knew just how made Photo Finish can get when you give the mare back talk. She remembered back to the time where Sapphire Shores came for a visit and gave a heavily negative critique on an outfit she had put ok Fleur for a shoot. Once Photo Finish had finished unleashing her verbal wrath upon Sapphire, the poor singing mare wouldn't stop eating ice cream tubs for a whole week. She stayed locked in her room as well, not letting anypony in, not even family was permitted onto the premises. She had to be placed onto the strict Wonderbolt Diet in order to get back to her original figure once she got over the words "spoken" to her.

The volunteers and fans around were just as well shocked but the majority of fans were angry at Derpy for saying what she had just said to the wonderful fashionista photographer mare. Many wanted to charge right at her for what she had done, and some were already going over to her to give her a piece of their crazy fan worshiping minds. Before they could do Photo Finish had gotten up and readjusted her glasses to once again cover her eyes.

She walked up to Derpy slowly and put her eyes straight to hers as she had done before, foreheads once again against each other. Photo looked deep into her eyes, saw into them, looked into Derpy's very own soul with her eyes piercing hers.

"You...you CAN makes ze magics! Zose eyes! Zose beautiful golden eyes!" she said as is clamped both hooves on her cheeks and drew her upwards as she stood up on her hind legs to look down at her. “The vay you shouted with pure authority!” she said with a massive grin to the wall eyed mare. “ZAT iz vhat I am looking for!”

Derpy had a look of pure confusion on her face as Photo let go of her. Photo then whistled for her cameraman over to her. She let the camera get set up as she began to repose Derpy and Fleur into the correct positions. She wanted them in these dresses to be side by side, black and white.

“Backdrop!” Photo called out with authority.

The backdrops were pushed over with a blue aura of magic with Rarity following suit. Once they had arrived Photo began to look through and found the one she wanted for the shoot. The backdrop had the same pattern as the dresses Derpy and Fleur were wearing. Half black and half white.

“Perfect! Put it behind them now!” Photo said with a grin as she ran back behind her camera preparing the zoom and the framing of the shoot to see what would come out.

Fleur walked with a smile along with Derpy who on the other hand was completely nervous. Fleur gave her a reassuring smile as she positioned her and herself. Anticipating what Miss Finish wanted before she even asked for it. She had herself in the back as she stood on the white side of the backdrop, only her flank on the white side. The rest of her body on the black half. Casting a smile to the camera with her eyes partially closed giving a seductive look off to the camera as she lifted up on of her forelegs.

Derpy following her with her flank in the black half. The rest of her body in the white half of it as she gave the same look to the camera. She had to give great concentration to make her right eye focus on the camera while her mane fell over it slightly and she gave the same smile to the camera.

Photo grinned at the shot presented to her and focused on them. Making sure she got them and the backdrop only. No metal holding it up. No other ponies. A perfect cover shot as she snapped the shot and the flash shot out. The photo shoot had begun and it was time to make magic.
