Dawn's new day.

Celestia checked herself out in the mirror. She was currently wearing a new Sun hat, had her mane in it’s natural state, Pink instead of ethereal, and had used a shrinking spell to make her about the size of an average Earth Pony mare. I wonder If I should go a bit smaller to match the average Peagsus?Why bother? You already diminished our stature enough for this outing. She gave herself one last look over and decided a braid in her mane would look better.

Celestia, ruler of Equestria and guardian of the Sun, had a date. Feather Duster had asked her out the Day after Hearts and Hooves day and now a week later they were finally be able to go out.

No, down Was better. She undid the braid and let her mane flow freely after brushing it. Whatever.

“Ahh, I still can’t believe she said yes!” Imago was literally climbing up the walls and ceiling of her home. Over the past few weeks she had finally fully moved into her new permanent hive. She had built up more rooms inside the crystal cavers in preparation of her children’s first molt and now for the cherry on top of her life she had a date with Her princess.

“Oh, I wonder what I should wear?” There was a flash of green from her ceiling as she donned her Feather Duster persona but with a nice dress. She then glided down in front of her mirror to check herself out.

“Way to much.” Another flash and the dress was gone but she now had some simple jewelry.

“Or maybe?” She smiled to herself and after another flash she was in a short and sexy version of her maid uniform.

“Maybe after a few dates.” She winked then laughed before she transformed back to the previous look. “Perfect.”

“Thanks again for inviting and treating me to the spa Rarity.” Fluttershy smiled from behind her mane. It was the first time she didn’t feel quite so self conscious around another pony that wasn’t Rainbow Dash or her family.

“Nonsense Darling I asked you out so of course I’ll pay.” Rarity smiled back as they entered the shop.

“Oh, um, is this a date? I’m sorry I didn’t realize.” Fluttershy slowly replied while looking down and away. “I just wasn’t expecting a date.” Fluttershy nervously scratched at the floor.

Rarity bit her lip and thought about backing down from the shy mare if she was worried about it being a date but then the thought of winning over a particular colt steeled her resolve and she realized that if she was going to be lead mare she would need to take the initiative.

“Yes. I asked you out specifically for a date with the intention of forming a trial herd.” Rarity nodded. “So would you like form one with me?”

Fluttershy gained a hopeful look as she turned back towards Rarity. “You… you want to form a herd with me? Bu-but why? Im a terrible peagsus.”

“Darling.” Rarity nuzzled the shy filly and pulled her aside in the spa lobby, “you’re kind, caring and simply adorable. You would be a wonderful addition to any herd, those qualities are very far from terrible.”

“Thank you.” Fluttershy looked more confident. “But, you don’t think it’s strange I don’t like to fly or that I’m shy?”

Rarity waved off the thought with her hoof. “Fluttershy, I’m a unicorn what do I care about flying. I’m more interested in your personality and to be honest you also know the colt I wish for us to woo. As for being shy that would only be an issue for a lead mare.”

Fluttershy thought this over as they checked in and got into the steam room first then quietly asked. “So who is it?”

“What darling?” Rarity scooted closer.

“Oh um, who’s the colt?” She asked a bit louder.

“Oh, why Balanced Dawn of the Apple family.” Rarity smiled and missed Fluttershy’s blush, thinking it was from the heat. “So would you like to join me?”

“I’ll be your herd mate Rarity.” She finally answered and squeaked when Rarity gave her a kiss on the cheek.

“Wonderful. We can talk about specifics later but for now let’s enjoy our Spa date and maybe move onto he next activity.” Rarity fanned herself and left the steam room with Fluttershy happily following along.

“Wow.” Imago, no, Feather Duster stood there speechless after meeting up with Celestia on Restaurant Row. It was amazing how no other ponies noticed the princess with her minor, to a changeling, modifications she had made to her appearance.

“Do you like it?” Celestia did a small circle. “I wanted to make sure we didn’t stand out too much.”

“You look as radiant as ever.” Feather commented then shook her head a bit. “Shall we my lady?” Feather wrapped a wing over Celestia and they trotted off to pick a restaurant.

It’s nice to be treated normally for once.It’s Nice some of our staff have a backbone.
