Art of the Mess

Previous Chapter

"That's right..." Rarity observed, her eyes boring into the dress so deeply that it seemed they could pop out and roll across the floor, "Hold it just at that angle..."

Spike was standing on his tippy toes, holding a pink faux dress up to meet Rarity's eye height. It was fluffy and made of fox fur, dyed just the right tint of pink. "Anything for you, Rarity..." Spike mumbled, smiling like an idiot.

Right when Rarity told Spike he'd be her assistant for the whole weekend, he had been acting as if he was her new boyfriend. Rarity was somewhat disgusted by his behaviour, but he was the only assistant she would be able to find in miles, so she decided to suck it up.

"Ugh... You're simply not talk enough for the job." Rarity commented, dropping the glitter she was levitating and letting it explode on the floor. "Go get Sweetie Belle's sink stool from the bathroom and return." And with that, she snatched the dress back from his claws and watched him scamper out of the room.

"He's obedient, I'll give him that..." She groaned, examining at the mess of her dress making room. It was horrifying. Mountains of glitter could be found throughout the room, along with random masses of thin fabrics that had been ripped by Spike's sharp claws.

"Rarity, my love!" He declared, hopping into the room with the stool pulled over his shoulder, "I have returned with the stool!"

She sighed, narrowing her eyes at him. "Just put it over there, Spike." She snipped, pointing a distance away from her.

Spike frowned at the sudden distance away from his crush, but said nothing. Instead, he padded over the requested destination and set up the stool.

They spent the whole day creating, but only one completely original, unique, and beautiful dress was completed. She only had two days to create nine more! How was she EVER going to make them all by Monday!?

"Thanks for your help, Spike." Rarity smiled, not at all thankful for his presence. She did make dressed with him around way faster than she did without, that much was true, but she was less messy with her workspace when she was alone.

"You're welcome, Rarity..." Spike gushed, hearts bubbling around him as he spoke. "Anything for you, Rarity." She smiled kindly at him, a little bit creeped out, but she didn't show it. Instead, she let him ride on her back as she escorted him back to Twilight's house.
