Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Twilight had of course redirected their course after learning of the change in plans. Their topics of conversation having moved on from the ‘craziness’ of Applejack and Rainbow Dash in their scheme to get away with body paint for a costume towards more mundane ones; like how Rarity had been torn between three different shades of nail polish for her costume. The novelty of Applejack and Rainbow’s outrageous decision had decidedly worn off for the three of them.

“How exactly did you decide,” Twilight questioned. The girl had no luck or particular interest in fashion; still wearing her old uniform most days without even thinking about it. But the idea that Rarity has some form of logical process or scientific method to her decision making had her curiosity piqued. Rarity of course looked at Twilight briefly as if surprised to hear her actually ask that. After all; as much as she might like the others to show more care for their appearance, Twilight was the last she suspected to care and rightly so.

“Well, Twilight, it’s actually a rather simple process. Firstly, I take photos of myself in costume with each of the different shades on my hands and gauge them against each other. Then I wear each of the shades out and about to see what catches most people’s eyes. From there it’s simple as can be to piece together which looks the best,” she commented gladly, shifting the boxes to rest against herself to admire her sea foam green nails.

The group of course saw the busy streets; bustling with children and their guardians scurrying about to parties or trick or treating. Pinkie Pie of course giggling, “Can you imagine how someone might react if Rainbow Dash or Applejack had gone up and asked for candy ‘dressed’ like they were tonight?” Just like that the topic was once more on the butt-naked girls assuredly hiding out at Fluttershy’s. Pinkie though did frown a little, “On second thought, I decided I don’t wanna imagine that. Hey! What extra costumes DID you prepare for them, Rarity?”

Pinkie’s attempt to divert the conversation after bringing up a thought NONE of them wanted in their heads seemed successful. Rarity grinned excitedly, “Well considering the girls are going out all Wizard of Oz, I’d thought it might be fun to dress up Applejack as a dog, of course a terrier befitting the story. It was arduous laying the hair down right. It would have made SUCH a wonderful costume set together with the rest of them.” She sighed wistfully, “Rainbow Dash on the other hand; I’d already prepared a costume like that one Superhero from that comic, um…Milly Second, wasn’t it Twilight? The fast one.”

“It’s actually pronounced Milli-second, but close enough,” Twilight gave a small giggle as they finally came to a stop. “Pinkie Pie, you’re really sure this short cut is the fastest way to Fluttershy’s?” She and Rarity both saw the long dark alley way. Lights flickering with dumpsters on either side down the long side street.

“Yup! If we try and go around on the left, we’d need to circumvent around Filthy Rich and his whole private block party nightmare night bash, and traffic is backed up like CRAZY on the right meaning we’d be stuck in huge crowds trying to walk. Our only way that won’t take forever is straight ahead!” Pinkie Pie’s announcement earned a swallow from her companions even as she started ahead of them. The clownishly dressed girl leading the way with the gaudiest mermaid ever and a wizard right behind her.

The three girls all walked along, but their worried attitudes soon dissipated as Pinkie started to hum some little tune. They heard her muttering words under her breath, ‘Giggle at the ghosty’ and the like. Their friend’s easy-going nature almost a little infectious as they questioned what they’d even been afraid of until Pinkie Pie gave a familiar sharp inhalation of a gasp! The other two box toting girls peered around her to see a couple figures moving now to block their way forward. A glance back revealed another larger one blocking the way back. All three of them looked like ruffians, thick heavy leather jackets and choker collars around their necks.

“Well if it isn’t a few pretty girls coming along with treats for us,” one of them spoke up to his companions who merely nodded. It appeared he was the leader as they moved into the flickering slight of a back-alley light that currently spotlighted the girls. They would see all three boys had little muzzles on straps over their mouths with pretty cheap looking dog ears. “Why don’t you girls just put the treats down and hang out with us for a little while?”

Rarity was the first to actually speak up, “I’m quite sorry, gentlemen, but we are actually on our way to a party where some friends of ours are waiting,” trying to hold out some hope of this turning out civil. “Now why don’t you sweet doggies just let us go talk in the nicely lit street. I’m certain we can discuss sharing some of these with you.”

“Some? We want all!” One of the boys snarled, only for the leader to frown at him and glare, silencing him. “Why would we need to do that? We can see you pretty girls just fine…but where do you get off calling us doggies? These fine costumes are DIAMOND dogs! We go to Crystal State! Diamond Dogs! Ah-ah-ah-wooo!” They all followed their leader’s cry. None of them noticed the clown grabbing Rarity’s boxes and getting out of the way even as she and Twilight pressed against the wall. The ivory skinned girl needed her hands free as her fists started to clench a little, muttering a little as her eye twitched.

“Costumes? You…you boys really…REALLY think those count as costumes?!” Rarity demanded in a far more intimidating cry than any of the boys had expected, looking ready to speak up until Rarity snapped, “Those outdated cheap bargain bin rejects are barely even ACCESSORIES! And Diamond Dogs! You come out here dressed as nothing more than a bunch of scruffy street punks with those and have the GALL to compare yourself to something as illustrious as diamonds?! I already dealt with two idiots that thought they could get away with half-baked painted on costumes and THEY were my friends!”

The ‘Diamond Dogs’ of course winced, one of them pointing at Rarity’s hip where the girl’s phone was buzzing in a neatly sewn pocket. But Rarity was in full force with her tirade, “NO! No! You do NOT get to say ANYTHING after that! I held my tongue for my friend’s sake, but YOU boys need to be taught what PROPER costuming is!” Pinkie Pie reached and covered hers and Twilight’s eyes as if in preparation as they heard the boys begin to scream; begging for mercy! “Oh no you don’t! You sit right there!” They heard the familiar snip-snip and the noisy yelps as the boys were subject to pin pricks. Minutes went by with Pinkie Pie and Twilight blinding themselves.

“Ahh…SOOOO much better, darlings…I really MUST thank you. Nothing helps to ease my stress like designing…now, if you’d be so kind as to help me and my friends carry these heavy boxes, I’d be MOST appreciative.” The boxes were taken and the other two would see the results of Rarity’s tantrum. All three boys were now just as gaudy and sparkly as the designer mermaid who was pulling her phone out, “It seems I missed a call from Sunset. No message though…I’m certain they’re fine though.” She said in a clearly happy go lucky tone.

The diamond dogs were wearing what could only be described as dog themed footy pajamas with rather ornate dog muzzles now over their mouths. The boys merely whimpered like whipped pups as they started to follow Rarity, the only sign it WAS still them being the jackets and collars. “Pinkie Pie? Please remind me to never ever say something like that while Rarity’s stressed out.” Twilight pleaded, evidently a lot more terrified. Too star struck to even question where Rarity got the sheer amount of sequins needs for all the boys’ costumes; let alone the fabric.

Fluttershy wasn’t about to say anything about it; but she felt quite relieved. She’d been rather concerned about Rainbow Dash and Applejack when all of a sudden the blue girl seemed so much more upset. She had no idea what was Rainbow Dash’s problem, and in spite of her urge to ask and try to help by mediating, she had chosen to give AJ and RD space to work things out. She had no idea what was going on up there. A part of her almost terrified that their friendship might not be salvageable.

Fluttershy knew Rainbow Dash had a bit of an ego. She also knew Applejack could at times forget a need for sensitivity by always shooting straight and honestly; too honestly at times. She’d found Applejack laughing on the floor at Rainbow Dash and had no idea what about. But something like that didn’t seem like something so swiftly resolved. But only a few short minutes later Rainbow Dash and Applejack came back down; both nude. Fluttershy tried her best to merely smile and act casual.

After all, they were all naked. It wasn’t anything shameful to her or embarrassing as they might expect. She’d had Tree Hugger over and the girl was quite comfortable shedding her clothes while hanging out as well. It was a little ironic tree hugger had only done so at Fluttershy’s quite accidental slip of the tongue mention of it. A fact she had no intention of sharing with her friends. Still, it was quite nice now that they at least knew about her lifestyle.

She honestly didn’t care if tomorrow they never wanted anything to do with it. They knew and were understanding of her interest in it. It felt nice not having to hide this from at least the two of them anymore. Maybe she could even join Applejack at sweet apple acres…she couldn’t help but giggle out loud to herself at the thought of it. As if she’d ever be brave enough to do that!

“What’s so funny, Fluttershy?” Rainbow Dash questioned, clearly intrigued by whatever had suddenly tickled their nudist friend so. The more experimenting girls peered down as if expecting to find kittens tickling at her toes or something. Applejack peered back at the TV where they’d put on a cheesy Nightmare Night comedy. The sort so bad that you had to laugh at it. But it was in one of the dull parts that didn’t provoke such a giggle.

Fluttershy shook her head, “I-It really is nothing. Just a little inside joke I was thinking about. Please, please, don’t mind me,” she gestured gently at them even as one of her hands rested on the fuzzy white thing currently cuddled over her lap. She felt his warm belly against her own somewhat fluffy pink pubes but never quite minded. She felt his little paws shifting as he slept soundly in her lap.

Her friends seemed to accept it, though naturally the easy and care free atmosphere was disrupted slightly in favor of a slight awkwardness, “Wonder how much you’d jiggle and wobble around if we were playing video games like this,” Rainbow Dash questioned at Applejack. The awkwardness though dissipated much to Fluttershy’s relief as Applejack started to snicker. She seemed to take Rainbow Dash’s blunt and brash question in good humor.

“Heck if I know…maybe next time we do, I’ll try it and see if they can distract you any,” she jokingly offered. Fluttershy started to smile a bit at the more light-hearted if a little inappropriate exchange. Certainly inappropriate for her darling little Angel bunny. She was glad he seemed fast asleep for this. Though she’d soon hear a familiar light-hearted jingle of a tune ring out; causing Angel to wake up with Fluttershy picking him up and carrying him over. She walked over to her cell phone on its charger.

She murmured a quick hello only to hear Sunset Shimmer’s voice, “Fluttershy! Me and Princess Twilight are looking for Rarity and the others. It’s a long story but we split up after we lost Applejack and Rainbow Dash. They’re there with you, right?” Fluttershy nodded at first only to realize the slight faux pas and answer directly, “Good. Least those two aren’t out on the streets, or worse,” she sounded relieved at the confirmation. As if somehow there really had been any doubt.

“I’m glad I could be of help Sunset Shimmer, but why exactly are you calling me about Rarity and the others?” Fluttershy questioned only to receive her explanation. Fluttershy though couldn’t help but begin to giggle, “You and Twilight really do need to have more faith in them. I know she might seem delicate, but we all know she’s more capable than that; plus, Pinkie Pie can be a little flighty, maybe, but she’d never just abandon them. And as far as Twilight goes, I’m certain she’s smart enough to get them out of any trouble. I’m sure they’re fine, Sunset.” She insisted, expecting some reply; correction or confirmation. “Sunset Shimmer? Are YOU okay now?”

“Huh? O-Oh, uh, yeah, sorry Fluttershy just…we seem to have found them,” she heard Sunset’s voice and smiled. The canary yellow girl feeling quite pleased to hear that, “Guess I really shouldn’t have under-estimated Rarity. Sorry if I worried you or anything,” she apologized sheepishly over the phone. “Oh, Fluttershy, I should warn y-“ Sunset was suddenly cut off as she’d hear some hurried mumbling. “Um…well…see you later?”

Fluttershy was about to ask what Sunset had been about to warn her about, already having a bad feeling given the word ‘warn’. But if it was really so important, Sunset would have said something, right? The naked girl smiled, nodding comforted in her faith in her friend to let her know if she really thought it was important. It might just be another baseless worry. She turned to Rainbow Dash and Applejack who were still animatedly talking about how hilarious they found the idea of doing normal things like jogging on a treadmill or playing video games might be with their nudity factored in. The two turned to her for something ‘amusing’ to do naked. “W-well, um…I-I guess if I had to pick SOMETHING that might be fun to try naked, it would be gardening. The warm sun all over you, taking care of your little herbs and veggies…though I suppose a gardening hat wouldn’t be quite enough to protect you from the sun in that situation. At least once you were done you could just jump in the shower.”

Her friends seemed satisfied with her answer. Not the funniest it seemed but satisfying enough as they candidly chatted. Fluttershy herself only speaking up when it became clear that they wanted her opinion or suggestion on some topic. Neither seemed as sold on nudism as her; but considering both lived with their families it wasn’t anything difficult to understand. Still she was satisfied enough she could share this with them for tonight. Just the three of them.

Princess Twilight and her doppelganger both seemed relieved to see each other after the separation. Apparently they had missed having their intellectual equal to chat with and Princess Twilight had been quite concerned. Rarity was of course smirking quite proudly while Sunset Shimmer stood there on the phone with Fluttershy, dumbstruck over what she saw before her. She saw three guys all dressed as sparkly dogs in footy pajamas hauling the goodies for the group. “Mush! Mush!” Pinkie Pie proclaimed; having changed into an eskimo costume briefly before revealing the clown get-up once more. “Huh? O-oh, uh, yeah, sorry Fluttershy just…we seem to have found them.”

Sunset Shimmer felt pretty stupid now not having faith in Rarity. It seemed all it took was an apparently emasculating costume change to render these rather scruffy and intimidating looking guys obedient to her. It wasn’t like it would work on everyone but seeing Rarity so calm and confident over this did fill her with a slight tinge of regret over not having faith in her. They had only run a couple blocks from their previous position. A fact which furthered the humiliation. Sunset was about to warn Fluttershy when Pinkie Pie grabbed her mouth! “Shhhh! Sunset Shimmer, everyone knows the best party is a surprise party, especially on Nightmare Night where the surprisiest surprises to ever surprise you are supposed to surprise you.”

Princess Twilight spoke next in a hushed tone even as Sunset held the phone up to her head, “Are you sure Pinkie Pie? I mean, I know how much Rainbow Dash and Applejack might appreciate the surprise; but Fluttershy? I really think we should give her a little heads-up.”

Pinkie Pie though pouted, “But Twilight, there’s nothing worse for a surprise than a ruined surprise by spilling the secret of the surprise! It takes all the fun out of the surprise! Please! Just trust me! My Pinkie Sense is telling me this is gonna be great!” She pleaded, “It also tells me you should take a couple steps to the left,” she announced.

Princess Twilight didn’t question it, following the orders and sparing herself a cream pie launched out of someone’s window. They’d all look up to see a few guys waving down at them apologizing for nearly nailing her. She knew better than to argue with Pinkie Sense. It nearly drove her mad once trying to figure it out. And that was with Pony Pinkie Pie. Sunset seemed to be sold given Twilight’s concession to Pinkie’s claim. “Um…well…see you later?”

It was a pretty lame statement but it was the best she could come up with at the time! The girls plus the diamond dogs started their way back towards Fluttershy’s house. “Are we actually letting them stay for the party though? I mean, no offense, but if the surprise doesn’t give Fluttershy a heart-attack; they might. They do seem a little scary,” Sunset decided to question Pinkie on this.

The Diamond Dogs leader was the one to answer though, “Excuse me, but we can hear you. No offense taken though, we actually enjoy being pretty threatening,” he gloated only to whimper as Rarity cast him a glare. “But of course we won’t be threatening anyone else, we swear! Not after Miss Rarity had her…’discussion’ with us,” he chose his words carefully to avoid incurring Rarity’s wrath. “We’ll leave soon as we walk you lovely ladies to the door.”

Rarity smiled proudly, “And of course because of how well-mannered you boys have been, when we get there, you can all have a treat. Just one though,” she insisted. Though at the almost mortified look Pinkie gave her; especially given it WAS Nightmare Night, she sighed, “Fine, they can have two. But no more, and you must promise me you won’t make messes of those costumes!” Rarity sounded more like a scolding mother almost; in spite of how the boys were older than them if they were already going to college compared to the high school seniors.

The walk back was quiet enough, bits of small talk as the two nerds discussed the shared topic of needing a better nick-name to differentiate them. In the end though ‘Sci-twi’ and Twilight seemed to be the best any of them could think of. The group reached Fluttershy’s house with the boys all looking at it in obvious amazement. The house itself so devoid of Nightmare Night it felt almost ‘negative’ like it sucked the nightmare night out of the neighborhood around it. A fact which left the boys with no particular interest in hanging around as they took their treats and ran.

Pinkie Pie already looked ready to leap into action excitedly even as Twilight rang the door-bell. The door opened and Pinkie Pie; carrying all the boxes zoomed right passed the one who had opened it unthinkingly. As such even as Pinkie Pie squealed like a bat on a sugar rush everyone else was left staring slack-jawed at Applejack; completely uncovered and naked with her tits hanging in plain sight with a rapidly scrambling to cover herself Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash behind her. Applejack smacked herself in the forehead and grunted, “Can’t believe ah just did that…”

Several far longer than might have been necessary, and in places too detail filled to be comfortable stories later; like Rainbow Dash’s suggestion of swapping breasts, everyone except Pinkie Pie was sitting around the living room digesting it all. “Ah should’ve known ya’ll knew,” Applejack admitted. She seemed almost ashamed for thinking her friends were so dense as to not notice her butt-naked with her shaved smooth crotch in their faces and her tits jiggling everywhere.

Rainbow Dash didn’t seem quite as ashamed as she had gone as far as to ask Twilight if she actually DID know a spell to swap their breasts. The best answer she got was a ‘maybe’ and an uncertain shrug. “I’m still having trouble adjusting to them being up here instead of closer to…never mind,” the pony decided to leave that topic alone. “Let alone the idea of switching things between the both of you.”

Rarity meanwhile was merely sipping her tea frowning at both Applejack and Rainbow Dash, “You really SHOULD have had more faith in me to pull through in the first place. If you asked, I could have given you the costumes I’d made for you. Unfortunately, those boys I mentioned were in need of material and I had to re-appropriate almost all the fabric and fur.” Rarity huffed a little; apparently not letting that insult slide JUST yet. At least the mystery of where she got the material was answered. Rarity carrying back-up outfits somewhere on her person wasn’t a foreign concept.

Fluttershy and the other nudes had thrown the bathrobe and towels back on even as Pinkie Pie continued her work without an apparent care. Though as Twilight questioned if Pinkie was even paying attention the hyper active ball of pink energy stopped; giving them all a glimpse at her in a way NONE of them had expected to see…at least not again. Pinkie Pie’s clown costume was gone. Her puffy frizzy pompadour and the wild curly pink nest of pubes covering her lap the only thing she wore as her breasts jiggled with the sudden force of her stop. “What’s not to get? Fluttershy began experimenting in nudism a year ago in secret and has been enjoying the lifestyle until tonight when Rainbow Dash and Applejack showed up; she explained it to them and then they decided to give it a try even though I thought it was just a fun little flashing game which was why I took off my underwear earlier; should probably look for those at the school tomorrow,” she started to ramble on, giggling happily. “We thought that since you couldn’t go to the café for the party that we’d just hold our own party at one of our houses but we didn’t want you to know that we knew that you were naked because we figured you’d be super embarrassed having it called out in front of everyone; but of course you guys ran off to Fluttershy’s leaving us to have to divert from our course until we got to here.”

“And the reason you’re naked now, darling?” Rarity questioned with a raised eyebrow at the comical girl even as she let her eyes of course fall on Fluttershy, Applejack and Rainbow Dash who had all gotten ‘dressed’ for their sakes. Rarity still found the idea almost blasphemous. Not that she’d actually call it such but to the fashionista going around without her perfectly tailored ensembles and outfits beyond examining herself in a mirror; which they all knew she did, it just seemed wrong.

Pinkie Pie raised an eyebrow at her, “Why aren’t all of you? I thought since they all seemed so comfortable going around naked in front of each other; why shouldn’t the rest of us? I say NAKED PARTYYY!” She proclaimed in typical Pinkie Pie. “No Toga! No Toga! No Toga!” She started to chant before getting back to setting things up. It was still strange how they’d only picked up treats but somehow Pinkie had some albeit basic Nightmare Night decorations and a whole tub for bobbing for apples, plus the apples.

Nobody seemed quite sure WHAT to say to that at first. Rainbow Dash though shrugged, “If Pinkie Pie’s cool with it, I guess I’m fine too.” She dropped her towel so nonchalantly; getting up and stretching much to the still costume crowd’s obvious fascination as she arched her back, pelvis pushing out a bit putting her ‘maidenhood’ on prominent display. Rainbow Dash of course noticed everyone’s staring. As disappointing as everyone playing dumb had been earlier; now she started to feel a lot more sheepish about how they could see absolutely everything. “What’s everyone staring at?” She questioned in an attempt to both piece together where their eyes were resting specifically and inject a little humor.

Rarity was actually the first to speak up, “I honestly had no idea you waxed, Rainbow Dash. I would have taken you for,” Rarity trailed off a little uncertainly before casting a sideways glance at the frizzy pink girl, “Wild, shall we say? Or at best that you only shaved for special occasions; like when you have a date.”

Rainbow Dash sat back down, crossing her legs to cover up her bare groin a little as she replied, “I guess I can get why you’d think that. But I’m a racer and any little thing could drag or make me less aerodynamic. I read about a lot of athletes that either totally shaved or got waxed, and I figured having it waxed would just be a lot more effective,” she confessed to her reasons. Nobody seemed to argue the point, seeming satisfied enough.

The awkwardness set in again as Rainbow Dash seemed a bit more hesitant to get back up again after Rarity pointed THAT out. It was Sci-Twi though who actually broke the ice a little better, “I have to admit, hearing about all of this had made me at least a little curious. Although I can understand if you’d rather we just leave after barging in like this,” she reached and fiddled a bit with one of the curly bits of her hair that framed her face. She held her nerve though and continued to speak, “Perhaps Pinkie Pie has the right idea. Just dive right in and have this party naked.”

Fluttershy was the one to respond first, “O-Oh, I…w-well I can understand if you really are curious and if you want to try, I won’t stop you. But I also don’t want any of you to think you absolutely have to or anything like that just to make me feel more comfortable. Nudism is a lifestyle I’ve simply chosen for myself and wouldn’t dream of imposing on any of you, even just standing in the room with me naked if you weren’t comfortable.”

The elephant in the room that was their consideration stalemate was finally broken as Applejack stood up and dropped her towel too. “Fluttershy, ya’ll ain’t forcin’ nobody to do anything,” she insisted firmly as she stood proudly bared to the group. Right in front of everyone she flashed everything she had; yet again. She started right for the kitchen, “If Pinkie Pie’s so keen on this naked party idea, ah’m gonna see about helpin’ her set up what ah can in the kitchen. If any of you wanna get naked, go ahead, doubt Fluttershy’d care, and ah sure as hay don’t. If ya’ll got any complaints, then go ahead and air them now.”

Applejack’s decisiveness seemed to all at once cut the tension away. None of them had been excited about the idea of just jumping to saying anything one way or the other. Though naturally it was Rarity who spoke first, “I don’t precisely have any complaints about the rest of you, but I spent far too long on my costume to neglect it by stripping down. I might consider it another time, but for tonight I’ll be keeping my costume on. The rest of you though can do as you like…Fluttershy, I’m afraid I’m all out of tea.”

The pink haired robe baring girl nodded, “O-Oh yes, though I’m afraid the pot has probably gotten cold by now. I’ll go ahead and prepare some fresh. She stood there though and started to nervously squirm as she noticed all eyes on her now. Nobody had made any complaints about Rainbow Dash or Applejack’s nudity; and certainly not Pinkie’s. She felt her face flush as she nodded, realizing what it was they were waiting on before pulling off her robe and laying it a bit more delicately on the arm of a chair.

Everyone expected Fluttershy to pass out on the spot; including Rainbow Dash who was already half standing up ready to catch her when she finally eeped that she’d be back soon as the tea was done and scrambled into the kitchen. This left Rainbow Dash now the center of attention. Any other day she’d have given her left leg for this. Now though that leg was nervously pressed against its neighbor trying to cover herself as much as possible. “Rainbow Dash…” Princess Twilight began, “If you don’t mind my asking, I learned that there are some…’health concerns’ with humans and their genitals. Are you sure it’s okay to be sitting like that?”

It took Rainbow Dash a few moments to actually process what Twilight was even trying to ask her before she smirked, reaching a hand to press into the seat, “I think so? I mean half of Fluttershy’s furniture has plastic on it; and the other half is made with this high quality easily cleaned leather junk. I’ll admit, my ass is feeling a little sticky against it; so I might wanna put my towel under me. But that’s about it,” she explained at least her take on it. She got up briefly to make a point and everyone would hear the slight noise as her bare flesh peeled itself off the leather sofa.

“I never actually noticed,” Sci-twi admitted, reaching beneath herself to feel at the plastic lining, “It would probably be a good idea to put a towel down on this too,” she confessed as she looked at her counterpart who had gotten up from the chairs brought into the living area for the earlier story time. She smiled and felt a bit more decisive; in part thanks to Applejack and Rainbow Dash resuming their candid state. “Fluttershy, where do you keep your towels?” She questioned aloud.

Rarity though spoke up, “I know where she keeps them. Since I can already see Sunset Shimmer reaching for her zipper, I assume I am the only one keeping her clothes on, so you girls can go ahead and undress. I’ll bring them down,” she explained. Rarity abandoned the three dressed, and one naked, girl to their own business as she left for the stairs. Fluttershy kept her extra towels in the upstairs hall closet. When you washed a dozen critters it was a necessity to keep plenty on hand. Speaking of; she’d noticed she only saw Angel walking around. She might have to ask about that.

Sunset Shimmer’s cheeks were flaring as red as her hair as she grinned sheepishly after Rarity had caught her getting ready to peel off the body suit in front of everyone. She had already taken the horns off and put them down on the coffee table. Princess Twilight just smiled and started to inexpertly work the gladiator’s costume off. Though given their difference in experience with fingers it wasn’t hard to figure out who undressed faster.

Sunset Shimmer was stepping out of the leg holes of the body suit; revealing a bright red set of bra and panties that didn’t stick out through the suit. The former pony unclasping her bra to let her own chest fall freely. Rainbow Dash’s jaw flat out dropped as she gawked at Sunset Shimmer’s exposed breasts hanging there fully and heavily. She felt that slight twinge of jealous hit; but it was lessened by recalling her talk with AJ as well as the fact that at least Sunset Shimmer wasn’t the super athlete like her and Applejack. Her panties came off next revealing a small neatly groomed patch of yellow and red hairs that stood out against her more amber skin. “Could you guys stop staring? This is supposed to be casual.”

It seemed Sci-twi in spite of admitting to her curiosity was staring a bit at Sunset as well. Rainbow Dash felt a little better; relaxing her legs from sticking together even as she tried to get a glimpse at Sunset’s back-side. It wasn’t long before the red haired girl turned her back on her enough to let her get a look. It wasn’t bad, a part of her had to acknowledge. Still, Sci-twi seemed more nervous than ever as they saw Princess Twilight already half way undressed. Rainbow Dash didn’t feel QUITE as jealous over the more modest mounds on the nerdy pony. She also did her best not to let her eyes linger even as Rarity came back down with towels for the rest.

Rainbow Dash stood up and collected her own towel again; slinging it over her shoulders though instead of setting it down. She had been sitting and felt like stretching her long bare legs. Rarity, in spite of her claims to not want to strip, seemed the most at ease with the now naked ponies turned humans of the three still in the room. She handed them each a towel and of course held one out for Sci-twi. The nerd though of course found her eyes locked on her duplicate rather than Rarity as she stood up.

Rarity of course followed the bespectacled girl’s eyes a bit to notice her eyes resting on the other girl’s hips as if trying to see something invisible on her buttock before Rarity realized the cause of the scrutiny. She felt rather sheepish as she found herself needing to put the doubtless calculations running through the wizards’ head to rest. “Yours is bigger.”

Soon as those three words, whispered as they were, sunk in Rarity was certain Sci-twi had turned as pink as Pinkie Pie who even now was eagerly demanding, “What’s taking everyone so long?! Get your bare butts over here!” It seemed Pinkie was growing impatient for her ‘No Toga Party’. Sci-Twi stood a little dumbstruck; still trying to process that one difference between herself and Twilight even as Rarity rested a comforting hand on her shoulder that she could take her time and come join them when she was comfortable.

Author's Note

I am sorry that this chapter took so much time compared to my earlier chapters in my story. Unfortunately my irl life simply took a hectic turn with a kitchen updating that wound up being more stressful than it should have been. It left me unable to really 'get into' the story or roll with it. Still, yet again I thank you all for reading and hope you enjoy.

Next chapter will be our naked party and if things DO really push into the 'appropriately M tagged' zone, it'll be there. I also THINK it will be the final chapter in this story. I may do a sequel at some point with one of the others 'experimenting' or such but don't have plans for it. Still, one more time (and probably not the last) thank you all for reading.
