Pinkie Pie's POV

Prologue: 1

.

In Ponyville, I never really need to own as much as a single garment. Well, aside from the boots and such for winter, that is. No Pony would look twice if I don't wear anything where I live.

I like to be the centre of attention, in Ponyville, wearing something would give me more attention, then not wearing anything, so I came to the conclusion, I need a wardrobe for occasions other than the cold of winter. With that, I had cantered off to the Carouselle Boutique, where I expected to see Rarity.

Since it is late spring and the weather is exemplary in Ponyville, I had not even considered wearing anything as I go out. A saddle bag doesn’t count, it is merely an accessory, I need something in which to carry the bits, in case I chose to buy something I was expected to pay for. Never know, maybe I wanted something I bumped into on my way as I went out.

Just closing the door behind me and I am out. The road to the Boutique is not all that long so I cantered over without even batting an eye, on my way there. Slowing down, just enough to knock the door, waiting for her response before I entered the small room on the bottom floor where the Boutique is located.

“Enter!” Rarity exclaimed as I knocked.

“Hiya, Rarity!” I responded as I closed the door quietly behind me in respect to my dear friend.

“Greetings, Pinkie Pie. Anything special on your mind?” she countered.

“I just realised, I need a wardrobe. Something that places me squarely in the centre of attention!” I explained.

“Of course, I know the feeling only too well. Just that very few Ponies of Ponyville seems to share my feelings!” Rarity put forth.

“Our reasons may be different, but the goal is still the same. I came to you because I know you are the best there is, considering what I am looking for. If there is any other Pony who would try their hands on what I am asking for, I haven’t even asked!” I pronounced.

“Our lines of work require for us to be at the centre of attention. I just had never considered you a Pony all that interested in fine suits!” she responded.

“I haven’t given you, or any other the reason to suspect, I guess. Now I am asking. I need a full ensemble, top, skirt, panties, boots, gloves, body and swim cap. A pink, a red and a clear one, I hope you can handle the local rubber and make it into the exquisite suits I am hoping for. I don’t think it would be worth asking any other Pony, if you fail or refuse the order!” I put forth.

“Since you are my friend, I will make it for you. I think it would pull all the attention you could wish for, but that is who you are in the first place!” she pointed out, casting a glance towards her set of mannequins, dummies and sewing aids.

“Thanks, Rarity. You are the bestest of friend!” I responded, pointing and indicating the details towards myself.

“This may be the most exciting order I have ever had. Maybe not the most paying or prestigious, but certainly the most fun and exciting. Just like you, I thrive on a good challenge!” Rarity put forth.

“I was hoping you would say something like this. Not just because I am going to enjoy these garments, but I would like for you to enjoy making them for me, regardless of what you ask me to pay for you to make them for me. To me, it is all about the joy, the spreading of joy to any and every Pony around me!” I pondered.

“I will just have to go over my inventory, then I will gather what I need in order to create the ensemble for you. I am looking forwards, towards seeing you smile as I present the garments to you!” she put forth.

“Then I will leave you to do your job and complete the suits for me. I may check in from time to time and see if there are any further details you may need, while checking the development you make!” I pointed out.

“Thanks. As always, I am eager to complete the order. If you come back with what details I missed, or if there are any further details you want to add, I will look forwards to seeing you!” she explained.

“I know!” I responded with a giggle to my voice and a smile on my face as I walk out the door, heading back home.

“See you, Pinkie Pie!” Rarity pronounced as I closed the door.

“See you too, Rarity!” I responded as I turned towards the road and my way back home.

I cantered all the way back home, just as fast as when I cantered there, but I had never really been in any hurry, so I had nt even tried to exhaust myself, why bother. Maybe I could have sliced a minute off of the total time when most of the time was spent with Rarity, go8ing over minor details.

“This is going to be so much fun, as unexpected as it was. Maybe that is part of the joy!” Rarity pondered under her breath, quietly, not realising Sweetie Belle had been standing behind her at the instant.

“What was that, Sis? A new order? You do sound excited over the prospect!” Sweetie Belle pointed out.

“Sweetie Belle, dear sister. Yes, a new order for Pinkie Pie. Apparently she had a new idea requiring her to ask me for a new wardrobe!” Rarity responded without blinking.

“Pinkie Pie never wear anything in Ponyville. The only time she wears anything was when she was at the Grand Galopping Gala at the Royal castle at Canterlot!” Sweetie Belle pointed out.

“She has a drive to be at the centre of attention, same as me. She may have other reasons, but in a sense the goal is the same. Besides, she is my friend, thus I am helping her. I have a sense for what she wants and what she needs since the adventure!” Rarity pointed out.

“I do recall it, that did put quite some strain on you at the time, didn’t it?” Sweetie belle pondered.

“Yes, it did. I tried to give them exactly what they asked of me. Sadly, that wasn’t really what they wanted or needed. It wasn’t Pinkie Pie’s fault alone, we have four other friends who needed brand new suits as well!” Rarity explained.

“That is life, isn’t it? You don’t always get what you thought you wanted. If you finally get what you needed, you are fortunate!” Sweetie Belle pointed out.

“That is why I am so happy, I met Pinkie Pie. She spread all the joy we can take, yet she has more to go around. I love helping her. Although I guess this is the funniest thing she has asked of me!” Rarity pointed out, pointing at the Mannequin and Aids with the details spread all over the small room.

"When you put it like that, I am pressed to agree, even if I fear what she will put us through next!” Sweetie Belle responded.

Rarity merely nodded quietly.
