Agent Dash

"See if she will spill the beans," they said.
"It will be easy," they said.
They were wrong. It was gonna take a lot of pushing. And she might not crack. Then again, if all else fails, there's always the exposure. Rainbow smirked. This had better work for Rarity's sake. She steeled herself, ready for the horror she had agreed to do today. She made her way down the stairs to her front door, locking up as she left her house. She almost crapped her pants when she saw Rarity waving from the window of the boutique, holding up a dress she surely thought would be 'absolutely fantabulous!' Rainbow begged to differ. Loudly. As soon as she saw that Rarity was actually going to try to get her to wear the monstrosity, Rainbow tried to bolt. They could always do exposure. But in the end, Rainbow came back with her tail between her legs, because sometimes, in order to save the world from chaos, you have to do something you really don't like.

Phase two meant gaining Rarity's trust. And that was exactly what Agent Dash was going to do despite the entire, bucking, lacy, frilly, mess she had just been stuffed into by the backstabbing unicorn. Rainbow grumbled inwardly. Time to get some intel.

"So Rares, I don't really know that much about you, would ya mind elaborating a little bit, just in general. I mean, I know my sonic rainboom totally caused your cutie mark. But what about anything else? Your childhood? Your life in general.", she tried, hoping to get a convo going, maybe even open up the floodgates.

"Oh Rainbow Dash, darling, please don't bother yourself with my tired old tales," Rarity said, trying to appear courteous. But Rainbow knew she was hiding behind a facade of politeness.

"Well then could ya explain the reasoning behind stuffing me into this, this, thing?", Rainbow said curiously, going for a more Rainbow Dash style approach. Less polite, if I may say.

Rarity glared. "Now that's the Rainbow Dash I know," she said, and sighed. "Well I suppose I could talk a bit."

Rainbow sighed with relief inwardly.

"Sweet," Rainbow said, eager to dig some info out of the traitorous unicorn.

"I was a lonely child, other than my sister Sweetie Belle. But she didn't come around for quite a while. Our parents weren't around that often. I didn't have much of an influence. I guess it's how I got where I am now.", Rarity said, pausing.

"Yeah? And where are you now?", Rainbow said, feigning confusion.

"Oh Rainbow Dash, I, am on the precipice of disaster. I am an enemy. I am a fraud!", Rarity squealed.

Rainbow Dash waited for the confession that never came.

"I am a failure in fashion. It's as if my spark is gone!", Rarity said pausing for dramatic effect. "And if I don't get past my designer's block all of my dreams will be crushed.

Rarity 's tears were soaking up Rainbow's now soggy dress that was sagging on her lithe, athletic form.

"There there.", Rainbow said, awkwardly patting the bawling unicorn's head. Rainbow had not expected that. Rarity vegan to snot all over Rainbow's dress. As if Rainbow cared. But Rarity would once she recovered from her little crying spree. Which was exactly why Rainbow had to get going. Along with a handful of other reasons that couldn't be revealed. So while Rarity was still snotting and bawling, Rainbow have her a pat on the head one last time, and exited the boutique after a very awkward good bye until that night...
