I was awoken when the door opened, making me fall inside. The ice on my coat scattered and splattered on the floor.

“This again?” Cozy glow sighed. “It’s too early for my cardio…”

“I’ve finished my task,” I whispered proudly.

“Well, that changes things.” She grabbed my legs and rolled me inside, shutting the door behind me.

I felt the heat! I filled my nostrils with warm air. There was hope for me yet.

“Last night, I watched you through the window of the carriage and listened in. You had quite some fun, didn’t you, whorse? For some reason, you don’t have a cutie mark, but I know exactly what it should be. Not sure how an anal canal would be represented, though. Regardless, I know what you’re good for now.”

The heat inside warmed me enough that I could finally start moving a little. Though standing up was still a tall order. I tried to secure my place in the castle by sucking up to my master Cozy Glow. Looking up at her, I said, “I had a lot of time to think and I realized how wrong I was to dismiss your crafting. I’d love nothing more than to wear your creations. Alas, they’re made for little ponies so I guess I’ll never get an opportunity to. Despite the great loss, I am fine with that.”

“Oh, is that what you want?” Cozy Glow grinned. “That’s weird because nopony else wants to wear them. Even Queen Chrysalis cut off everything but the waist part before she put it on.”

“Too bad they don’t know what they’re missing, right? And unfortunately, I’ll have to miss it as well.”

“You’re in luck. I think the bodysuits are stretchy enough even for you to fit in. Well, stretchy is a wrong word since the material doesn’t actually stretch. Tough is a better word. The clothes stay stiff even if they don’t fit properly; they just chaff more.”

I nervously whipped my tail. I was getting on her good side, but I was putting myself in danger at the same time. Luckily, I had an unbeatable argument to use in my defense. “That’s great to hear. Unfortunately, I’ll never be able to wear them because I’m allergic to wool.”

“I don’t mind,” Cozy Glow said simply and walked to the wardrobe.

That threw me off. “You don’t mind?”

“I may be judgemental, but I’ll keep my prejudices against you to myself for this instance since you showed such appreciation for my clothes.” She started to take out clothes from the wardrobe one by one.

I tried to wiggle out of the tense situation, “Though I’m the biggest fan of your craft, I am perfectly fine observing your fabric from afar or even inside a locked wardrobe that would never open.”

“Nah, it’s okay. If you like them, you’ll get to wear them.”

My body shook.

“Though, it would be a shame if you were to change your mind and dis on them again. There is still no room available for you in the castle and if you were to ever find yourself outside again, you might freeze to death without protection.”

I wanted to say something but found it hard to speak due to an onset of sudden hyperventilation.

“Did you know there were 6 elements of harmony?”

“I have no clue what you’re talking about.”

“They were an evil group who infiltrated my homeland and punished everypony who disagreed with them. There’s the spirit of honesty.” She threw an orange furtight bodysuit before me.

“What does that have anything to do with these clothes?”

“Kindness!” She threw a yellow jumpsuit on top of the other. “Laughter, Generosity, Loyalty.” She threw a yellow, white and blue one as well.

I flinched because they were all made of wool that I was allergic to and because they seem way too tight. I didn’t even like wearing clothes, even less so the clingy clothes that touched me profusely all over.

“Due to King Sombra’s failed alchemy experiments, we have lots of color dies. I used them to paint these clothes in the colors of the Mane 6.”

“Look, they’re nice and all, but they’re all too small and I’m allergic to them, so why don’t we just appreciate them from afar?”

“And the evil Element of Magic to rule them all!” She threw a lavender furtight bodysuit that was even tighter than the rest. “And you get to wear it because you want to and I found it in my heart to forgive you for dissing my craft.”

I sighed. “Do you want me to pick one?”

“No, of course not. They’re a set. You have to wear all of them.”

“First of all, that would probably just kill me, and second of all, I couldn’t put this on even if I tried.”

“Everything is possible with magic!” Her horn glowed and I was lifted in the air.

“Not this again…”

One after another, the furtight bodysuits floated up and devoured me. They didn’t stretch, it was I who got squeezed from all sides. I wanted to scream, but the magical force kept my muzzle shut.

The wool irritated my skin. The tightness of just one made me feel trapped, and I wore 6 of them. The itchiness all over my body was relentless. I could feel my allergies flare up, inflaming my skin. Pure dread and despair washed over me.

When I was finally dropped back down, I didn’t want to even move because I would feel the chaffing even more. I just stood there with tears in my eyes.

“The Elements of Harmony put me in a tight spot once. These clothes represent anguish. I’d be trapped in stone forever if King Sombra wouldn’t save me.”

“I have nothing but praise for them. Can I take them off now?”

“The zipper is on the neck. And that’s why I made this part of the set as well.” She picked up an oval ring and flew over me. “It goes through the zipper pull.” She pulled it through and snapped the ring around my neck.

“But now I’ll have to take off this ring as well…”

“It’s called a collar. It’s my own design. You can take it off at any time, as long as it isn’t locked.”

I heard a metallic click. “What was that?”

She landed before me and levitated a small key from the collar. “I know what you’re thinking: What if Cozy Glow loses the key?”

“Why did you even lock the collar around my neck in the first place?”

“But don’t worry. I won’t lose it. Look.” She floated it in her mouth and swallowed. “I can’t lose it now even if I try.”

“What did you do!?! How am I going to get out of the clothes now?”

“You get it now, don’t you? You finally understand how I felt when I was trapped inside the stone prison. But don’t worry. Just like how King Sombra saved me, I can save you.”

“How? You swallowed the key! And even though I was really cold before, I’m getting really hot now. Can I please take off your beautiful clothes? We wouldn’t want to damage them, right?”

“You’d need a key for your collar to take them off, but what we can do is get you someplace colder.” She flew on my back and pointed her hoof forward. “To the dungeons.”

The many layers of furtight bodysuit resisted my movement, but I tried to fight against the scratching and chafing. Maybe if I showed her my obedience first, I could then convince her to cut me out of the enwrapping prisons.
