Equestria: Fluttershy's Cottage. 6 weeks after waking up.

I don't know why I'm still here. After the kiss, she started avoiding me. Everytime I tried to talk to her, she would either run away or start crying. I hadn't seen her at all. I haven't seen her after those Pegasi in suits came looking for her, They told me that If I saw her then I should talk to them. I probably won't, those Pegasi looked pretty shady.

"Wh- what?" I slowly woke up to someone pounding on the door. I got up, pulling on a robe that Rarity had made me. It was red with a pink flower pattern on it. "I'm coming"

knock knock

"I said I'm coming!" I slowly walked over and opened the door to see an eager Rarity standing there wearing one of her many scarfs around her neck. "Oh, whats up Rarity?" I was still mad at her for what happened last week.

She lifted her hoof up to her mouth. "Ahem, I was wondering if you could..." She paused for a second. "model for me again?"

Oh jesus, not this again. The first time she had me model for her, her cat ended up destroying my uniform. I had just gotten it cleaned, too. The damn thing pissed on my uniform, apparently it was in heat. I looked at her and with a blank stare. "No."

She looked hurt. "But why?" she whined.

"Because I can't afford to have piece of clothing destroyed," I pointed at the robe I was wearing. "This is all I have left after what your cat did to it."

"Please Darling," There was that noisy whine again "I promise that Opalescence won't be at my boutique this time."

"You promise?" I could use some new clothes. After all, having a red flower robe wasn't exactly 'Manly'.

"Yes!" She smiled and raised her front hoofs in the air.

"On one condition." She paused, her eyes opening wide.

"And what would that be?" She gave me a nervous grin.

I crossed my arms and leaned against the door. "I want to choose the designs."

Disgust filled her face. "Iv'e seen the clothes you wear darling and let me just say that they are a little...um..." She gulped raising a hoof to her mouth. "drab."

I was gonna get a new uniform whether she liked it or not. I leaned in "Well I guess we both won't get what we want." I turned around to close the door and she caught me.

"Fine." annoyed, she stomped her hoof onto the ground. "You can choose the designs."

I told you I would get what I want. I smiled. "Glad you see it my way."

"Can we at least Collaborate?" She asked, sitting on her flank and pressing her hooves together.

"Sure."

Equestria: Ponyville, Rarity's Boutique.

After being oogled at by Rarity and listening to all of her ooohs and ahhhs, she finally let me "Alright darling, I have the measurements done." Blushing, she gave me a small smile. "Go see what materials you like."

I put my clothes back on and began rummaging through boxes and boxes of old hats and fabrics. "You wouldn't happen to have Kevlar, would you."

"Kev-what?" She gave me a confused glance.

"You know, Kevlar?" I looked at her realizing that they didn't have bullet proof vests in Equestria. "It's a type of armor us humans use to protect us." I pulled my helmet out of my pack and showed her it. "This is Kevlar."

her horn glowed a blue hue as she took the helmet from my hands. She eyed it closely. I was hoping that she would have something like it. "You want armor?" she gave me a concerned look.

I nodded. "I need the strongest stuff you got." She gave me a concerned look. I pulled a big bag of golden bits out of my pack, courtesy of the princess herself. "I'll pay for your troubles."

Her face lit up with a smile. "What do you have in mind for design and color?" her voice became low and quiet. She pulled out a notebook and began listing my demands

"I want complete protection but full maneuverability. It needs a sleek design, I'll also need a helmet to conceal my face. I also need it in full black."

"Give me two weeks"

Equestria: Ponyville, Rarity's Boutique two weeks later.

I walked up to the boutique, rifle in hand. I had to bring it to make sure the armor would allow me to use it. The blinds were down and the door had a sign that read closed. I walked right in and was surprised by a little white filly unicorn with pink and purple hair.

"We're closed." She grumbled

I laid my rifle by the door. "I'm here to pick up an order for Daniel." Her face lit up. "I am assuming that my uniforms are ready?"

"Yes, you are that Daniel?" I nodded.

"Yeah...why?" I was curious how this little filly knew about me.

She was rubbing her hoof on the floor. "Oh nothing," She looked up and gave me a big grin. "Just that she is amazed by your body and wants to rub things all over y-MMPH" A pillow wrapped in a blue hue flew across the room and covered the little filly's face.

Rarity ran out of the other room."That's enough out of you, " She glared at her sister. "Bed...NOW!"

The young filly ran up the stairs, laughing hysterically.

"Uhh..." What the hell just happened?

"Sorry about that, Sweetie Belle has a wild imagination." She laughed nervously before giving me an awkward smile.

"My... uh... uniforms?" I just wanted to get this over with.

She coughed, quickly regaining her composure. "Yes, right this way."

We entered the show room and saw six uniforms just like the one I used to have, and a piece of full body riot gear. The Chest was made to look kind of muscular and had shoulder pads and full arm armor. The Chest piece had a decal of my Cutie Mark. A skull with a beret, crossed by bones. The shoulder pads also had a decal of my Cutie Mark. Rarity blushed when she showed me the chest piece. "I used your helmet and duplicated the kevlar components into sheets, the armor is plated in such a way as to not restrict movement. In The back plates are used to protect your spine and vital organs. The shoulders are also made of kevlar, along with the arm pa-"

"Can I use my weapon while standing, kneeling, sitting and laying down?" I interrupted.

She smiled "Of course, darling. I always know what my customers want."

I I looked at the legs. The thigh pads reached all around and so did the knee pads. The boots protected everything below the knee. They looked astonishing.

We then moved to the helmet. The helmet mirrored my old combat helmet, but contained a face mask. It was painted with a yellow skull. I don't know how Rarity did all of this without complaining.

"Well?" Said Rarity, full of anticipation. "You wanna try it on?"

I walked over and put on one of the six uniforms and started pulling on the Armor. I started with the pants and boots, pulling them on slowly to make sure I didn't feel any imperfections. I then put on the chest piece, buckling the bottom of the chest to the top of the pants. I saw Rarity standing there, a big smile on her face, stars in her eyes. I pulled on the Helmet and attached the straps at the bottom to the straps on my chest. I did a few jumping jacks, push ups, I jogged in place. The armor was surprisingly light. There was only one problem. I pulled at the crotch of my pants.

"What's wrong, darling" asked Rarity, blushing.

I stood there still pulling at the crotch of the armor. "Oh nothing, just that these pants are made like a cheaply made castle."

She gave me a confused and hurt look. "How so?"

I pulled up the mask and gave her a blank look. "There's no ballroom."

She looked at me, with a confused look. Then it hit her. She blushed and glared at me. "Why you Ruffian, that's not funny."

I busted out laughing. To my surprise, she jumped at me. I caught her and hugged her.

She was blushing when I let her go. She regained her composure. "Well then, I believe that this is yours." She levitated a big bag of bits towards me and dropped them on the floor.

"What's this?" I pointed to the bag of bits, the same bag that I had given to her as payment for the uniforms and armor.

"Well, since the uniforms didn't cost that much and I duplicated the armor, I just figured that I don't need the money right now and that you should keep it." She smiled at me.

I picked up the bits and handed them back to her. "I can't take this."

She was flabbergasted. "What? Why not, darling?"

"Work as good as this deserves something in return." I handed the bag back to her.

She blushed. "Thank you."

I packed the uniforms into my pack and grabbed my rifle from the door and left. What ever my next assignment was, I was going to be ready for it. I thought back to the KKP.

Those bastards won't know what hit them.
