Ch3. Dressmaker's Affairs

As the pair walked across Ponyville, Rainbow couldn’t help but notice the extremely gorgeous mare who was walking beside him, he ought to have a chat with Dusk later about him hooking up his sister, he shivered at the thought, he knew he wouldn’t last long with an enraged Alicorn prince, and his older -captain of the guard, princess of the Crystal Empire- sister.

‘Let’s enjoy it as long as it lasts', Blitz thought looking over the walking form of the lavender unicorn, who was now gazing at the streets with worry present on her features, “Where are we going first?” The mare asked without taking her look off the roadway, Rainbow replied with a chuckle.

“I thought it will be better if I introduce you all of Dusk’s friends first, that way you won’t feel so isolated here in Ponyville,” Rainbow replied guiding the mare through an alley.

“All of them…” Twilight replied absentmindedly her eyes widening in shock, what if someone recognize her?, her public life would be ruined, Solaris will be disappointed at her, he will take her wings and...and then he will banish her to the moon for a thousand years more!!.

Rainbow Blitz, seeing her troubled look stopped dead on his tracks, “Hey, are you alright, you seem worried,” he said examining closely her face.

Twilight seemed to step out of her reverie with Rainbow’s remark as she quickly shook her head, “N-No, I’m fine, who are we meeting first again?” She asked, little of her worry present on her voice.

Rainbow shrugged off the unexpected stop and he resumed his trotting, “We’re going to Rarity’s, she is a Unicorn and works in the Carousel Boutique, close from here,” He responded, the mare’s ears irking at the answer.

“Oh, and what does she do?” Twilight asked faking interest.

“She’s a dressmaker, you’d like her, being a mare and all,” The cyan pegasus said trailing off, as the mare’s cheeks flushed.

“What’s that supposed to mean!?” Twilight yelled suddenly, startling Rainbow.

“Oh, nothing, nothing at all… I mean, you’re a mare and mares like dresses and stuff like that so I thought…”

“Nevermind, I’m sure you didn’t mean it, Where is this Carousel Boutique anyways” The unicorn said changing the topic quickly, ‘What happened to me there?, I don’t always support Rainbow and his mare humour, But I’m never so quick at the responses’ Twilight pondered, her new mare mind confusing her ever so slightly.

“Umm, we’re here,” Rainbow said stopping in front of the tent shaped building, his uneasy voice taking Twilight out of her thoughts.

“Wow, nice building,” She remarked, looking over the rose colored structure, admiring the already known shop.

Rainbow knocked three times on the door, after a few seconds they heard a soft voice coming from the inside ‘Coming’, as the door opened, the pair could see the figure of the alabaster unicorn greeting them.

“Welcome to Carousel Boutique, where every garment is chic unique and magni-Oh hello Rainbow Blitz darling!!, Coming for a new suit I guess?” The white mare said smiling at the frowning pegasus.

“What!, No way, I already have the suit you gave us for Dusk’s coronation, and I’m not planning wearing another one anytime soon,” He replied shaking his head repeatedly.

Rarity pouted with Rainbow’s answer, “It’s a shame,” she uttered looking over Rainbow’s side noticing the presence of Twilight, “Oh I see you bring company, What kind of hostess I am letting you two here at the outside, please come on in, make yourselves comfortable,” Rarity said motioning them for coming inside.

As they walked inside the shop, they noticed fabric spilled across the room, and the usually organized instruments laying carelessly on the floor, deducing that Rarity was again in what she called one of her ‘creative streaks', the white unicorn smiled sheepishly before picking up a box of needles with her magic.

“So very sorry for the mess, I was having one tremendous rush of new ideas until you came here,” The mare answered the unasked question as she cleaned more of the living room.

“We’re not interrupting, are we?” Rainbow said looking over the mannequins that featured Rarity’s newest designs, “We could come over later when you aren’t so busy,” He said motioning Twilight to exit the building before being interrupted by Rarity’s magic.

“Oh nonsense darling, I think I earned a deserved break for all the madness,” She replied getting closer to Twilight’s side, “Now, are you not going to introduce me your companion Rainbow?” the mare said examining Twilight over.

“Oh right, well you see she is--”

“I’m Twilight Sparkle, I’m Dusk Shine’s twin sister,” She answered, cutting off Rainbow Blitz, “I came to take care of the library since my brother is out of town,”.

“So, you’re little Dusk’s twin sister?” She asked frowning slightly at Twilight’s nervous smile before gasping in excitement, “That’s marvelous darling, you see I have tons of designs made specifically for darker coated mares, but I have never found somepony who could model them for me,”

Twilight breathed a relieved sigh before processing what Rarity had just said,”Wait, Model!?”

”Could you model those designs for me? Please Twilight, you just have the most fabulous color palette, and it is just perfect for my new Canterlot night’s collection” the alabaster unicorn said looking at Twilight with sparkling wide eyes.

“Umm, I don’t know, we were planning to visit all of my… er Dusk friends and-” The lavender unicorn was cut short by Rainbow’s voice.

“Don’t you worry Twi, I’m sure we have time for Rarity’s little modeling session,” He said smiling slightly, he really wanted to see how Twilight looked with a dress on, if without one she looked absolutely appealing, with a dress on she would look extremely hot.

“Buuuut, Argh, Fine I’ll be your model, But in one outfit only!!” Twilight grumbled, pouting childishly, if she hadn’t been so committed in her complaining, she would have noticed Rarity checking her back every few times.

“Fantastic, Now if you wish Rainbow, could you please leave the room for a while?” Rarity asked turning to face the confused stallion.

“Bu-I thought-”

“Now now Rainbow, this is essentially a mares only thing,” she stated emphasizing in the mares part, now walking towards her drawers

“Fine” he mumbled, “I’ll be in the kitchen if you need me,” The pegasi said walking to the kitchen closing the door after him.

“Thank you Rainbow,” she called before her magic casted a privacy spell over the room, “Now 'Twilight Sparkle', How did you think I wasn’t going to recognize you?” The mare said raising an eyebrow to the now slack jawed lavender unicorn.

“Bu-I-What are you-” The purple mare stammered, trying to comprehend by what means had Rarity discovered her disguise.

“Oh, cut the fake ‘Twilight’, I didn’t became the most successful seamstress in Ponyville without knowing how to spot a simple illusion spell,” Rarity said narrowing her eyes to the stunned mare in front of her, “Now I want to hear what happened.”

“I-I messed up a potion, and I ended like a mare, I was going to expend the week inside the library, but then Rainbow Blitz bursted into the place and I had to cast the illusion spell,” Twilight explained dejectedly.

“For he to not realize who you were, Am I right?” Rarity ended as the mare nodded, “For the love of Faust Dusk!!, Why you didn’t tell him the truth?!”

“I was afraid you know, I am a Princess now, I can’t be doing scandals everywhere I go!!” the purple mare yelled her voice cracking slightly, “A-And I was afraid what Solaris might do if he knew I messed up like this,” she said crying softly, Rarity seeing her friend’s discomfort ran over Twilight to gave her a bone-crushing hug.

“Hush, It’s okay, I understand,” Rarity reassured as the crying mare broke the embrace forcefully.

“And this mare’s hormones, are making me cry for every little thing, I just became a mare today and I needed to be hugged twice!!” Twilight said, her crying dying down into mere sniffling.

“Oh come on, It’s not that hard,” Rarity responded while Twilight shot her a look, “Now that the cat is out of the bag, What were you planning to do?, You know you will have to tell the others sooner or later?” The white unicorn said, earning a quick gasp by the other mare.

“No!!, you can’t do that, I’ll be doomed!!” Twilight shouted her eyes widening in fear.

“Oh, Darling, I’m sure It won’t be so-”

“Rarity!! Pinkie promise you’re not going to tell anypony!” the purple coated mare said looking directly into Rarity’s sapphire blue eyes.

The pale unicorn gulped before answering, her voice quivering a little, “Fine, I Pinkie Promise I’m not going to tell anypony,” she responded Twilight finally letting go of her.

“Now, You were telling me what were you planning to do, Isn’t that right?” Rarity said her voice recovering from the sudden assault, ‘is just me or are her overreactions getting worst’ she thought looking as the lavender unicorn fixed her mane as a reflect act.

“Oh, Umm, I was going to wait for Zircon to arrive from his trip, for he to help me look for the plants that I need for the potion,” Twilight answered going full into her ‘scholar mode’.

“That seems like the best course of action,” Rarity said moving forward to Twilight’s side, “Now that you explained yourself, I think we can continue our little modeling session”

Twilight groaned sitting on her haunches, “Th-That was for real!?” she said scared at the prospect of modeling clothes for Rarity.

“Oh, not only that, you own me a big one for making me keep that promise, We are going to do the whole package,” She answered knocking the door of the kitchen.

“You don’t mean-”

“Rainbow, we’re going to the spa,” Rarity called the pegasi, who shot out the door the moment he heard those dreadful words.

“To the Spa!!” Rainbow said surprised, “You said you only were to model some clothes!!” He said flapping his wings in irritation.

“That was the idea, but Twilight here decided to join me for a visit,” Rarity replied nonchalantly picking up a hat for the sun, motioning Twilight to follow her.

“But we were going to visit Applejack…” Rainbow trailed off

“Oh don’t be sad, maybe you could fly ahead and plan lunch to our new friend,” She said now out of the building as Rainbow Blitz shot off behind her.

“Great Idea Rares, I’ll be off then, Have fun you two!!” He said at the distance.

“Twilight, Allons-y, Aloe and Lotus are waiting for us”

Twilight grumbled behind her, “I am not letting you see another chapter of Doctor Whooves again”

Rarity’s eyes shot open at the remark, “Why is that Twilight dear?, you know that the 10th Doctor is such a gentlecolt” she smiled at her frowning companion.

“Don’t start again Rarity, we all know the 4th Doctor is Best Doctor, Now let’s go, I want to do this as fast as possible” Twilight mumbled walking past Rarity

“Do you even know where the Spa is?” Rarity asked seeing her companion stop and yell annoyed.

Oh today was going to be a FUN day!!.
