A Blazing Entrance

.

As I had inspected my wardrobe, I had realized; that I am in need of a set of new bikinis, and Rarity is the one to make them for me. It is not exactly a secret, that she loves to craft clothes; I had figured, she would love to make these bikinis for me.

”Early bird, catches the worm!” I ponder; knowing it is better, to catch her early in the day.

Since I had just finished breakfast, it seems the best time to head out; walking over to the boutique, where Rarity works. I had cleaned up after my breakfast, as I walk out to the cloaking room; putting on a pair of shoes and a comfortable spring jacket. I close the door behind myself, as I walk over to Rarity’s place.

After a short jog, I am reaching my destination; after cheering up a few friends, I had met on my way over to the boutique. Naturally; I could not pass up, cheering friends up.

Just saying ”Hello!”, and passing out a few compliments and some cheerful small-talk. Still; just for that one smile, I would do anything. They all know it; and I know they know it, too.

”Just in time..” I ponder, as I am reaching the boutique; ”Rarity had just opened her boutique, for the day!” I observe.

Stopping before the door, just to open it; before I step in, hearing the merry chime as I step in.

”How may I help you?” she inquires, just before she recognizes me.

”I am in need of a few bikinis, for the season!” I respond; ”Oh, and hiya!” I add, as an afterthought.

”Hello!” she responds; ”Bikinis; you certainly have come to the right places, I could craft them for you!” she continues.

”How many, would you need?” she inquires; ”Let me guess, you want them all pink?” she offers.

”Just a dozen, if that is not too much of a challenge?” I respond.

”When it is hot; you can’t go wrong, with a bikini?” I suggest.

”So a more tasteful, casual bikini, then?” she inquires.

I follow her, into the back room; where she is sketching up a few samples, of what her image of my bikini would look like.

”That one!” I respond; pointing at the image, corresponding with what I had in mind.

”Twelve of these, I can have them ready by lunch!” she offers; ”Come over, and you can pick them up by then!” she adds.

”Thank you, Rarity!” I respond, as I write the chosen colours for each bikini on the sheet of paper on which she had sketched the chosen design.

”You are quite welcome, Darling!” she responds; as she is gathering the papers, with the chosen design on the top of the pile.

”Then I will just leave you, to it; I’ll be back, by the time you estimated these will be ready to pick up!” I respond, as I am walking out of the room.

Of course; I have other things to take care of, while I am waiting. Besides, she does not need me here now; distracting her, from the work ahead.

It is the time, Rarity had promised to have my set of bikinis for the season ready; so I had run over to her boutique, stepping in through the door. As I enter, I hear the chimes, announcing my arrival.

”Pinkie, punctual as ever!” she exclaims, as she hears the chimes go of.

”Hiya, Rarity; I take it, you have finished the work on my set of bikinis?” I offer.

”Yes, Darling; of course I have, I promised you!” she points out.

”Yes, you did; so I had to be here, to pick them up right away!” I respond.

”These should be just right, for you!” she points out; ”But why these specific colours?” she inquires.

”You know, how I love bright and cheerful colours; I just need one for each occasion, in a different colour!” I point out.

”This Cerise bikini does look perfect on you, Darling!” she prompts, as we are stepping into the inner room.

”Yes, it certainly does!” I concede, excitedly.

”Want to try it on, just to see if it is what you asked for?” she inquires.

”Better check now, than coming back tomorrow; knowing, they are not just right!” I concede.

”Right this way, please!” she prompts, leading me to the changing room.

”Than you, Rarity!” I respond; as I am entering the changing room, with the Cerise bikini in hand.

Naturally, I had not carried anything with me; other than a small backpack, for the set of bikinis.

<--- --- --->

I step out of the changing room, wearing nothing but the cerise bikini.

”I love this smooth, and highly elastic fabric!” I exclaim; ”The colour came out, just right!” I continue.

”It’s Fabulous; on you, Darling!” she exclaims.

”Thank you, Rarity!” I exclaim; ”I think I may keep this on, under my regular clothes; it is still a bit cold outside, to walk around in just a bikini!” I ponder.

”Perfect for the beach; covers just enough, while not leaving a sun-tan line!” Rarity ponders, musing.

”It is no Fabric; but should be perfect in both water and air!” she ponders; without letting on, exactly what kind of a material she had used.

The material will be perfect; even if she had no idea, as to what I had in mind for these bikinis.

I step back into the changing room; putting on my clothes; slipping the remaining bikinis into the backpack. Just as intended.

”Oooh!” I mumble, as I feel the material, against my skin.

”Something, I will just have to get used to!” I ponder; as I pull the curtain aside, stepping back into the room.

”Thank you, Rarity!” I exclaim.

”You are quite welcome, Dear!” she offers.

I had stepped out of her boutique; and run to the school, where I had peered into the portal into Equestria.

While the Horse statue may have been demolished, its foundation is still standing, with the portal still fully functional. Everyone had seen it, but most had simply ignored it back them; yet I recall the portal, since I had seen what is inside.

Once I had reached the portal, I simply step right through; ending up, in Princess Twilight Sparkle’s castle.

”Oo-oo-ooh!” I mouth; ”Neat!” I continue.

”Guess I will have to take the bikini of, before she can enchant it for me!” I ponder.

<--- --- --->

Once in the castle of friendship, in Ponyville; I bounce to the nearest empty room and slip out of my clothes.

I could as well stay nude, as a Pony; Twilight would not give me a second glance, or give it a thought anyway. As a Pony, my Equestrian counterpart rarely wore anything, anyway. Other, than at a special occasion. Now is no such occasion.

Maybe she would wonder, why I wore clothes now; if I had been wearing anything, until I had explained the situation. I save the time, explaining only what I need.

After bouncing down another hall, ending up in the library, I finally do find her. Her face, buried in one of her dusty old books. What had I been expecting?

”Hiya, Twilly!” I exclaim, as I lightly tap her on her right shoulder.

”Oh, hi Pinkie!” she responds; ”I barely heard you!” she ponders.

”What are you reading, Twilly?” I inquire, as I peak down onto the page, she had been reading.

”Incantations, and spell-combination!” she responds.

”Oh, how convenient!” I point out; ”Because I need you to enchant a few items, for me!” I elaborate.

”Fun! Fun! Fun!” she responds.

”What did you have in mind?” she inquires, a moment later.

”These bikinis, needs to be enchanted!” I point out; ”Zero G inflation/levitation and special stimulation!” I explain.

”Wait; you are the other Pinkie Pie, from Canterlot High?” she inquires, as she realizes who I am.

”Yes, but of course; Silly Twilly!” I just giggle, nonchalantly.

”That makes sense; and since you know I am an Alicorn, you deduced I could perform the incantation!” she mumble, quietly; to herself.

”You basically said as much, Twilly; and the rest, I already knew, as I explained your situation the first time around!” I offer.

”Oh, I almost forgot about that!” she points out, giggling to herself.

”Yes, I guess you did; Twilly, but I didn’t!” I offer.

”So you want the top to inflate the bust, effectively performing a breast-enlargement; without causing the ill effect of the wait, caused by the large bust?” she inquires.

”Sounds like silly fun, to me!” I point out; ”Just mark them ”Zero - G” as if it had been the brand?” I suggest.

”Zero G?” she inquires; ”As in weightless?” she continues.

”Exactly; sounds like dun, doesn’t it?” I put forth.

”I want the bikini to be fun to wear!” I explain.

”Yes; I have gathered as much, when you are involved!” she responds, just as she is looking at the items I had asked her to enchant.

”These were crafted by Rarity?” she inquires; ”I will just have to put in the effort; to align the magic, with her style of crafting!” she points out.

”Yes; it isn’t as if I could have asked anyone else to make these!” I point out; ”We know and trust her; she does always craft the best wears for every occasion, any time you ask her!” I concede.

I watch her lighting up her horn, as she is focusing on the offered garments before her. I help her flipping to the correct pages; where she can read, what she needs to read in order to perform.

As I watch her eyes dancing over the written text; the orb at the tip of her horn grows with her focus, until it reaches the limit. The next moment; the purple light cascades down the length of her horn like an avalanche.

With just a little bit more focus; she aims her magic at the collection of bikinis and the spell is starting to form.

The bikinis float in the air before her; levitated by the spell of the intended enchantment combination.

I end up forced to look away; as the intensity of the light is growing too much for my eyes to take. The sphere of blinding light enveloping the spell; just as the other Pinkie Pie had seen; as Twilight had performed the spell, granting Rarity butterfly-wings for three days as they went to Cloudsdale.

The light remains at blinding intensity for several minutes; as she is enchanting the garments I had put before her. All of a sudden; the enchantment is ending, with a distinct, loud popping noise.

The room is stark black, for several minutes; before the light returns, as we open our eyes.

As I look; the bikinis are lying on the table, neatly lined up in pairs after colour.

”Thank you, Twilly!” I exclaim.

”You are quite welcome, Pinkie!” she responds; ”Would you like to share a cup of tea, with me?” she inquires.

”Yes, please!” I respond.

She leaves the book, on the table where she had been reading; confident no Pony will find it, or disturb it where it lies. Just as she is expecting no Pony or creature; to use a spell found within.

I bounce after her towards the kitchen; leaving squeaky noises in my trail; each time my hooves are hitting the floor, as we move as one towards her kitchen.

”This castle is huge!” I ponder; ”It is a true castle, not a mere home of any Pony!” I conclude.

Eventually, we reach her kitchen and she makes the tea; pouring it up, in two cups.

I watcher enjoying her tea, as I sip on mine, slowly and with great pleasure. It is not just the tea, but also the company. We take our time; enjoying the tea, in silence. Why ruing the moment; with idle chit-chat? We could have spoken these words, earlier, or later.

In the end; we finish the tea, and she leads me back to the gate. I step through, and the deal is concluded.
