Chapter 13: Dressed Friends Forever

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Rarity stood in front of the new closet with bright eyes. Miss Celestia said she got it for her. For HER! She rolled around squealing in joy. Unable to hold her excitement, she quite literally dove into the closet. The weight of the filly brought the whole thing coming down. With a loud thud and surprised scream from Rarity, the dress up corner became a mess.

"Rarity!" A glow surrounded her and she was lifted upwards. The white filly looked around with wide eyes and saw Miss Celestia looking at her in worry and shock. "Are you alright? Do you need to go to the nurse?"

"M'okay Miss!" Rarity smiled prettily. But she didn't have the redlips tube, so her smile wasn't too pretty. "But...oh noes. The dwesses!" Because the closet had burst open, the clothes were everywhere! Miss Celestia put her down and looked around with sad eyes.

"You're going to have to clean this up, Rarity." Rarity felt like crying. "Hey hey, don't cry. Here. I'll help you. We can also get your friends to help."

"...okay."

Miss Celestia called over Twilight, Applejack, and Rainbow. Together, they helped pick up everything. It took a long time. Rarity was very tired when they were done. Her friends were also very tired. They fell together in a heap. Miss Celestia simply smiled at them before trotting away.

"Rarity?

"Yes, dawling?" Rarity didn't know who said her name.

"Whas is this?"

"Dress-up."

"Whazzat?"

"Yous put on clotes and be somepony else!"

"Wow. Thas sounds crazy."

"Yeah!"

The four lay there for a while, giggling every so often. Then Rarity had an idea. She popped up with a big smile. Her friends looked at her confused.

"Ideaaaaaa!" Rarity was bounding around, smiling like crazy and was constantly giggling.

"What is it, Rarity?" Twilight asked. They leaned in, curious.

"What ifs! What ifs we dresses up! And has a fashion show! Is be so much fun!" Rarity spread her stubby forelegs wide, creating a boom.

"I like fun!" Rainbow said.

"I like this idea!" Twilight joined.

"Okay!" Applejack replied.

The four fillies 'yay'ed' and Rarity got to work. While she looked through the different clothes, she had Twilight go and ask Miss Celestia or Miss Luna if they could have a fashion show. Rainbow and Applejack went to find Pinkie and Fluttershy. Rarity wanted to go all out! When they returned, she didn't notice, completely focused on her task of looking at the clothes and finding the perfect match.

"Twilight!"

"Yes!"

"Here." Rarity put a starry cape and silver horseshoes in front of her. "This are yours. Cuz you like stars and twilight and stuffs. Yes." Rarity nodded and went back to her rummaging.

"Applejack!"

"Aye!"

"Yous keeps your hat, but takes these too." A dark green cape and boots. She heard Applejack admire them with an 'ooo'. "The colows match apple twees!"

"Rainbow!"

"This takes loooong! I wanna get my stuff!" Rainbow pushed past Rarity and pulled out random clothes. She laughed as she spotted a helmet and put it on. "Look! I am so coooool."

The other girls pushed past Rarity and started to look for their own clothes, leaving her to sit alone with the clothes that she had picked out. "Noooooo. Yous need to weahr what I say!" Her friends ignored her as they giggled and put on clothes that looked bad! Rarity started to cry. It was going all wrong!

Miss Luna trotted up to her and hugged the crying filly. "There, there. What happened?"

"Theys...theys." Rarity choked back a sob. "Theys no like my clotes!"

Miss Luna nodded with a warm smile. "I understand. I'll talk to them. You just stay here, okay?"

"...okay." Rarity sniffled, trying to rub away the tears. She then watched Miss Luna talk to her friends, they looked surprised, then sad. They dropped their clothes and looked at Rarity. They trotted over with sad expressions and sat down next to her.

"M'sorry." They said together. And then, they hugged Rarity.

"Do you still want to do our clothes?" Twilight asked softly. Rarity nodded slowly. "Is that okay, girls?" The others nodded. "Okay, Rarity. Get our clothes!"

Slowly, Rarity got up and looked at the mess. Tears wanted to come out again, but Rarity held it in. This was her moment! She can do this!

At the end of the day, parents came to pick up their kids from the kindergarten. Six of which were asked to stay behind by Celestia. Those six were led to some seats and were told to wait.

"Huh, I wonder what this is." Twilight Velvet asked.

"I have no idea." Pear Butter replied.

"It doesn't seem it's like a coincidence." Posey Shy said softly.

"Agreed." Cookie Crumbles said with narrowed eyes.

"What do you think that is." Windy Whistles pointed at a set of curtains covering a section of the Kindergarten.

"Foalishness I would think." Quartz Pie mused.

"Mothers!" Luna jumped in front of them, giving all of them a jolt. "May I present to you, Ponyville Kindergarten's own fashion show! Hosted by yours truly and directed by none other than Rarity. This fashion show will feature all of your daughters, so be prepared to be amazed by their dazzling display!" Luna struck a pose before scampering off to sit next to an amused Celestia.

With a flick of some magic, the lights were turned off and a spotlight was turned on. The curtains were brushed aside, revealing a makeshift walkway outlined by pillows.

Twilight was up first. She trotted out with her head high, which wasn't too high because of her stature, but Velvet gasped in amused shock. Her daughter was decked out in a surprisingly decent outfit, a cape with stars wrapped around her neck in a stylistic way, she also had slightly too large silver horseshoes but it accented the rest of the outfit nicely.

Applejack was up next to Pear's delight. Her dark green cape was done nicely but not too froufrou-ey. Her large stetson fit nicely with the scheme alongside her cowpony boots. It was adorable, Pear wished she had her camera on her.

The stoic Quartz was pleasantly surprised by Pinkie's exuberant outfit. A poofy pink dress and a small blue hat had Pinkie bouncing around with a big smile. Quartz allowed herself a small smile.

The spotlight switched colors and Windy immediately whooped. Rainbow Dash buzzed her wings as she jumped onto the walkway and took a pose. A rainbow flowy dress complemented by the golden laurel wreath on her head. Windy whistled with appreciation.

Posey cooed softly with appreciation when her daughter stepped into the limelight. Well, more like pushed. The shy pegasus tried to hide, but the amused mothers could see the light green dress and a blue butterfly clip. The stamped their hooves politely when Fluttershy shuffled off the walkway. Posey brushed a tear away at how brave her filly was.

Last but not least was Rarity herself. Cookie beamed with pride as Rarity walked that way dressed in a frilly magenta dress that matched nicely with her golden tiara. She struck several poses before bowing and exiting.

The six stepped up once again and then bowed. The mothers cheered in their own ways. Celestia and Luna cheered the loudest, second to Windy of course.


Author's Note

Ah, playing dress up. Fond memories.

Apologies for the delay. I'm afraid it's going to be like this for a while. This year is exceptionally busy for me. Any help coming up with ideas for future chapters is greatly appreciated!
