After a rather unsettling dream, Rarity finds herself dreading the Grand Galloping Gala she will be attending tonight, especially since last year's was such a disaster. The suspicion that Discord might be attending as well only makes her even more on edge. But with Sweetie Belle so looking forward to attending for the first time, she decides to put aside her apprehension for her sister's sake. Though her intentions may be noble, her decision may end up costing her dearly, by leaving her exposed and ashamed in front of every gala attendant all at once.
