Blessing or Curse?

"I still can't believe you got me into this thing." Rainbow stated as she circled on the floor, trying to get a good look at her padded rear. They were back in their bedroom and Dash had locked every door and window from sight and entrance.

"Well, I think it looks rather... adorable." Twilight giggled.

"Hey! I am Not cute!" Dash snapped.

"I didn't say cute, I said adorable!" Twilight grinned. Dash growled at her.

"Look, I know this is just for protection and all, but can't you, I dunno, make it invisible or something? I don't want to be seen like this!" Dash exclaimed, pointing towards her 'protection'.

Twilight thought for a moment. "Hmm.. I guess I could think of something..."

"Then start thinking! I can't be a wonderbolt like this!" Dash gasped. "I can't let anyone see me like this!"
She jumped and crawled under the covers of the bed. Twilight rolled her eyes.

"Rainbow! Urgh!"

A knock on the door.

"The girls are waiting for you in the hall." Spike said as he peeked inside.

Dashs head perked up from the covers. "The girls are here?"

Twilight smiled sheepishly. "Weeeeell I think this might just be the perfect opportunity for you to tell the rest of us about your-"

She was interrupted by a cyan ball tackling her to the ground.

"YOU DID THIS ON PURPOSE?!?!"

Twilight gave a nervous giggle. "Okey.. I guess I can do that invisibility spell..."

Dash glared at her as she let the alicorn get up again. "Good."

Twilight took a necklace, performed a spell on it and put it around Dashs neck.

"I still can't believe you got me to wear this thing." Dash muttered as she and Twilight walked down the halls to their friends.

"Got you to wear what?" Pinkie was suddenly in front of them, startling them. Then she saw Dashs necklace. "OOOOOH SHINY NECKLACE CAN I HAVE IT CAN I CAN I CAN I?!?!"

Dash cringed as Pinkie grabbed it, but Twilight levitated the pink pony away from her. Dash still gave a short glance at her rear to make sure nothing had gotten visible.

"Soooo... you wanted to tell us somethin' sugarcube?" Applejack started. Dash gave a nervous glare at Twilight, who gave Dash a sheepish grin.

Think of something! Fast!

"Well... Twi and me are almost together for a year now.." Dash started, her friends grinning at her.

"Oh darling, we know that already." Rarity waved off with a hoof.

"We wanted to go on a nice trip and thought you might want to join us." Twilight said after she came up with a backup plan.

"We are?" Dash whispered to Twilight. Then realized what the alicorn was doing. "Uh, yeah. So, you guys wanna come?" The Pegasus quickly added.

"'Course we're comin'!" Applejack happily replied.

"Oh, that's a marvelous idea!" Rarity agreed.

Dash only smiled nervously. A trip? When she was like this? This just can't end well...

"Great! Then let's all pack our things and meet here in an hour." Twilight said. Their friends agreed and left to pack their things. Twilight closed the front door and turned around, meeting the glare of her marefriend.

"Are you bucking kidding me?!" Dash shouted and flared her wings.

Twilight froze. "What?" She asked.

"A trip?! A trip?! Any better ideas, egghead?!"

Twilight winced at her nickname being shouted. Was Dash trying to insult her with it?

"Relax. Some time outside the castle will do you some good. You're normally outside all day and now you suddenly lock yourself in the castle. Besides, spending some time with our friends might cheer you up and take your mind off for a while." She smiled.

Dash huffed at her and closed her wings, never turning her glare away from the alicorn.

"Come on now, we have to pack some supplies." Twilight said as she trotted past the mad Pegasus.

"Supplies?" Dash asked as she went after her.

"You didn't think I would let you go outside without protection, did you?" The purple alicorn almost grinned evilly. Dash stopped dead in her tracks.

Moments later, Twilig was tackled to the ground by a cyan ball of feathers.

"Seriously, get a room you two." Spike grumbled as he walked by.

It were fifteen minutes until their friends would come and Dash was pacing around in circles.

"Dash, calm down. It will be fun, I promise." Twilight tried to reassure the nervous Pegasus.

"Calm down? Calm down?! How do you expect me to-" the Pegasus cut herself off when she felt herself starting to leak into her invisible protection. Twilight noticed the pale look on her face.

"Rainbow? You okay?" She carefully asked. Dash was frozen in shock and blushed furiously as her misbehaving bladder simply cut loose.

Twilight walked over to her. Dash finally broke out off the shock and glanced down at the necklace, then took it off with her hoof, her ears flat as she turned her head to avoid Twilights gaze. It didn't take long for the alicorn to notice what was wrong and laid a hoof on Dash's shoulder.

"Come on, let's get you cleaned up before the girls are coming." The alicorn said in a soft voice as she smiled at the Pegasus.

It didn't take long for the two ponies to get ready. The others soon entered the castle and searched for them.

"Twi? Dash? Where are ya?" Applejack called.

Twilight emerged from the bathroom while Dash put the necklace around her neck again.

"We are here! Are you guys ready to go?" Twilight said. They all checked that they had their saddlebags on.

"Isn't little Spikey-Wikey coming with us?" Rarity asked.

The dragon in question leaned on a wall. "Nah. I think those two love birds need some time without me." He said, giving an annoyed glance at the pair. Their friends giggled.

"Are you sure it isn't the other way around?" Twilight smirked as Spike looked away.

"So, where are we going?" Pinkie asked, bouncing excited around.

"You'll see. Come on, let's go." Twilight said and lead them outside. Dash was walking next to Twilight but with every step she got more and more nervous about this. She didn't know what Twilight had planned.

And Twilight had planned quite some things.
