Submit to Starlight

When they had arrived in Starlight's town of equality, Fluttershy seemed to be the only one who actually liked it that way, so when they were all locked in a room and forced to listen to Starlight's propaganda looping over and over again, she seemed like the best candidate to send out into town so that she could pretend she had accepted their philosophy. What they hadn't expected however was that Fluttershy would never come back to the room because, somehow, Starlight had gotten Fluttershy to actually become part of the town's equality culture for real.

Fluttershy seemed so happy to no longer have a talent for talking to animals and just accept that she was now as average as anyone else, she had her own house, she adopted the accepted hairstyle and clothing for mares and had even begun urging her friends to join her and the rest of the townspeople every time they were brought out of the room to see if they had changed their minds. Her friends were all very concerned, whatever Starlight had done to truly make Fluttershy convert must have been powerful to say the least and, after a lengthy discussion, they decided that the best person to send out next to see if she could get the big scoop was Rarity. The plan was that Rarity would say that she'd gladly become a member of the equality populace just so she could be with her friend Fluttershy and at least talk about their shared passion for sewing and she would, hopefully, discover what it was that Starlight had done and report back to the rest of the group and help put a stop to it without succumbing to it herself.

Yet another day came where the droning of Starlight's voice over the speakers was continually drilled into their minds to a point where they remembered the messages down to the very inflections in the sentences themselves. As the door opened so that Starlight could inspect them and see if they were ready to accept the town's ways, Rarity prepared herself for what would certainly be her toughest challenge to date, reconnaissance.
