Pinkie Pie had promised Ms. Ruby to be at the Yearly Midsummer festival; even when it happens to be at the Crystal Empire this year. The trip caused Pinkie Pie a small problem, but a masquerade solved the problem.

Pinkie Pie had made the promise; to let Diamond see the coming Midsummer festival, where Princess Celestia is raising her Sun. Pinkie Pie does not break promises.

The festival happens to be in the Crystal Empire this year; but that doesn’t stop Pinkie Pie from living up to the one promise. If you promise something; you Pony up and deliver on that promise, no matter what.

Naturally; Diamond had been looking forwards to the event, the excitement beaming through her eyes. Now; there is the one detail about the custom she was told to wear while outdoors, which is extending even to the Empire; but what is that compared with the chance to actually see the Sun Raise?

An adventure has to have a highlight, but they never told about the surprise that came right along with it.

Ms. Diamond's POV

An Episode Prelude to the Festival: 1

I had just finishing my dinner, and Pinkie Pie stepped into the room with her customary wide grin.

“Hiya; Diamond, Ruby, Amethyst, Sapphire, and Emerald!” Pinkie exclaimed, as she closed the door.

“Hiya, Pinkie!” I responded rather cheerfully.

“Hiya, Pinkie Pie!” Ruby and Sapphire added in chorus.

“Hi, Pinkie!” Amethyst filled in.

“Hello, Diana!” Emerald cheered.

“Since you have finished your lunch; I could as well prepare you for what is up and ahead, Diamond. The festival I promised you to see is tomorrow. It is a fairly long train ride to the Crystal Empire, so I will take you there tonight!” I stated.

“Yeah; and these muffins are delightful, Pinkie!” I responded.

“Let’s go down to your room, so you can prepare for the big day. I will help you with a few details, though!” I promised.

“Oh, okay; Pinkie. Let’s go down and prepare for the event. I have been looking forwards to this since the day you mentioned it the first time!” I responded.

I tried my best to keep up with the exuberant pink mare, but had to give up on it. She slowed down as best she could, in order not to leave me too far behind.

As I opened the door to my small room, I noticed an item on my bed. There is a large cardboard box in beige, I know wasn’t there when I left the room.

“Pinkie, that is containing all the items I need for my preparations; going to the festival, right?” I inquired, curiosity piqued and butterflies fluttering in my belly as the time finally had arrived.

“Yeppers, deppers; that’s all you need, in order to go to the festival!” she pointed out.

With that; I stepped forwards and pulled the flaps of the box open, only to find a suit I was supposed to wear. Both the garments for me as a Crystal Pony, and the guise of said Pony. Of course, there are a few more items for this preparation as well. I have a crystal clear nail polish and a matching lip gloss from what I could see. There is also a gel for my cherries and orchid respectively.

Right about now, Pinkie Pie quietly closed the door behind herself; extending me as much privacy as she was able, while still staying in the room with me; expecting to be needed in order to help me with a few items along the way.

“If you apply the gel and paint your nails, and I will help you with the rest!” she promised cheerfully with her usual warm voice, lazed with giddy giggles all the way.

“Oh, okay. I do know how to use these products, and I guess my nimble hands are more accustomed to perform these tasks as well!” I offered generously.

“Yeppers, deppers; these items are intended for Human use exclusively. Hoof polish is very different from nail polish, and the other items are just as different as the polish!” she informed me, matter of fact, even if her voice still is lazed with the same giggles as before.

“I thought as much, Pinkie!” I said.

I uncapped the vial of clear polish, sitting down on the floor; before I slowly painted the nails of my hands. I started with the thumb of my right hand; from the center of the root and down, right and left, right and left. Only to paint the back of the nail and the edge. Once I finished the first, I continued, nail by nail, and the left hands as well.

As I had applied the clear lacquer to the nails of my fingers, I repeated the process with the nails of my toe nails. Pinkie Pie nodded approvingly as I worked. Only then I noticed that her polish cured much faster than I had expected. I managed to cap the vial, and left the vial under my bed.

Once the polish is out of the way; I picked up the lip gloss and applies the clear gel gloss from the right to left, and back from the left to the right; upper and lower lips respectively in turn. I could clearly feel the gel being absorbed as I applied it. There is no need for a mirror to know; even if the mirror would reveal the rich, high gloss the gel covering my lips extended my lips. Of course; as the gel had been absorbed, it would never smear or stop glistering in the light from my lips, either.

As I had capped the lip gloss; I picked up the next gel, carefully applying it to my right and left cherry respectively. I put the gel under the bed by the side of the previously used products under my bed.

“Good, time to get that suit on your body in order for you to be ready to follow me to the festival. That train is not going to wait for us forever!” she prompted with a grin.

“Thanks, Pinkie; you know how I have been looking forwards to this day, for so long!” I prompted.

“Yeppers, deppers. That is why I promised you to go there in the first place. Here, if you just step into this garment?” she responded, holding it up for me to step into it as she guided me.

“Oh, okay!” I added, as I slowly and carefully slipped my right and left foot into the suit in turn, then continued with my right and left hand respectively.

“That feels strange!” I then continued as the garment is covering my entire body.

Only then; after a moment of the rubber pressing tightly around my entirely body, I no longer feel it at all, as if it had fused to me in order to be a part of me and my own body.

From there; I continued with the right and left stockings she presented me, even when they are looking suspiciously like equine legs. As I had pulled them up all the way, I could feel the change as they fused to the rubber body covering me. With that, I now have two Pony legs to my equine body.

“Here!” she instructed me, hoofing me the head of my suit.

I quietly accepted it and slipped it on and pulled it all the way down to the upper rim of the body. Naturally; the change followed suit with the hood, just as it had with the body and the stockings.

“Just the gloves, and we are set to go!” Pinkie declared.

I slipped my right and left hand, respectively as she held them up for me. The final change came over me as the suit fused together and sealed itself up tight. Now I feel like an actual Pony, not a girl in an Equine suit.

Had this been mere rubber garments to make me look like a Pony; I could never have trotted down to the station along side her, and board the train as an actual Pony. I could have been running by her side, or even been riding on her back in order to save the time, but that could never have been the same.

What I had not expected, is the small details of the suit she had provided me with. First and foremost; this is a Crystal Pony with her very own mark; now I am Diamond, the Crystal Pony. I board the train as it arrives with Pinkie Pie by my side. In a few hours, we will arrive at the station in the Crystal Empire; where she will follow me to the room she had booked for me.
