My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Season 1
Chapter 14: 14. Episode 14
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"Oh, Opalescence. Can't you just picture it? Moi, stepping up in a stunning new gown at the Grand Galloping Gala in Canterlot!" at Carousel Boutique Rarity adores a sketch of a dress she is making for herself to appear amazingly at the Grand Galloping Gala which is only a couple weeks away. Her cat Opal lies on a pony mannequin which helps Rarity make the clothes at the right size with a pink fabric under her like a blanket. Rarity then comes over and swipes it out from under Opal and brings her down. As she landed she made a meow and went to find a new place to rest.
"Why, yes! I did make it myself. Thank you so much for asking." Rarity said with the fabric wrapped around her neck like a scarf and puckered her lips in a fashionista expression and fluttered her eyes in the process. Opal then found antother piece of fabric on the ground and lied down making herself comfortable. But it was again pulled from under her as Rarity places it under the sewing machine so she can stitch. Opal gets off of it and made an irritated growl.
"Oh Opal, of course you can help me. Thank you." Rarity thanked and grabbed Opal putting her on the table and placed a needle cushion in her mouth. She made another muffled growl irritably while holding the cushion.
"What's that? You want to help me more! Oh, aren't you the sweetest thing?" Rarity cooed and gave Opal more stitching equipment and struggles to balance with spools, glue, scissors, and measuring tape on her with one paw.
"Careful now. Don't move. This shouldn't take long at all." Rarity promised as she stitches her incomplete dress but knowing her as her pet poor Opal knew that wasn't true and rolled her eyes and made a soft meowing sigh.
-Main music plays-
As Rarity continues to sew her dress design there was knocking at her bedroom door.
"Howdy, Rarity!" Applejack barged in and greeted loudly with Twilight Sparkle and Zach Lanson by her sides.
"Shh... Can't you see Rarity is trying to concentrate?" Twilight whispered as Rarity sews the base of her dress.
"You know how much she hates it when others interupt her work." Zach reminded.
"What do you think she's makin'?" Applejack asked quietly.
"Looks like a dress." Twilight said.
"Well, that makes sense. Since this is a dressmaker's shop and all." Applejack pointed out in obvious. Rarity was getting irritated at there nagging and tried to keep her calm.
"Is there something I can help you with?" Rarity asked politely and turned around trying to give a welcoming smile.
"Oh, so very sorry to trouble you, Rarity, but I need a quick favor. Could you please fix the button for me? It's my dress for the Grand Galloping Gala." Twilight brought out a red, orange, and yellow dress with two buttons in the middle from her saddle bag and the bottom one was nearly ready to come off.
"[gasp] Oh, no, no, no! You can't wear this... old thing. You need a glamorous new outfit for the Gala and I'll make it for you. No problem at all. It will be my pleasure!" Rarity insisted.
"Oh, that's really sweet of you to offer, Rarity, but I can't let you do that. It would be so much work. This dress is fine." Twilight assured.
"Twilight Sparkle. I insist on making you a new dress."
"But-"
"Not another word! I won't take no for an answer."
"Well, in that case... Thank you for your generosity, Rarity. Knowing your handiwork, I'm sure it will be absolutely beautiful." Twilight said.
"I'm sure it will." Zach agreed. Rarity then looked at Applejack with an annoyed look and came to a conclusion.
"Let me guess, Applejack. You don't want a new gown either." Rarity pointed out.
"Gown? Shoot. I was just gonna wear my old work duds." Applejack said.
"Ugh. You can't possibly be serious, Applejack! You absolutely must wear formal attire." Rarity urged.
"Hm... Nah." Applejack tapped her chin a couple times and declined.
"What if I just spruce up your... duds for you a little bit?"
"Um... okay, sure. Why not? Since you're up for it and all. Just don't make them too... froufrou-y."
"Deal!" Rarity agreed.
"Look out below!" a voice from above shouted out and crashing through the ceiling was Rainbow Dash landing on the ground and bouncing to a pile of pony models. Dash comes out with fabric in a variety of colors tangled around her and a bucket on her head.
"Sorry. New trick. Didn't quite work." Dash abologized. Rarity rested her hoof on her chin and pondered for a moment until a brilliant idea strucked in her head.
"[gasp] Idea! I'll make you an outfit for the Gala too, Rainbow Dash." Rarity offered. Dash looked around bewilderdly and confusedly.
"Outfit for the what now?" Dash asked completly forgetting the Gala.
"The Grand Galloping Gala, duh. Which is in a couple weeks I might add." Zach reminded.
"Oh Yeah." Dash remembered.
"I'll also make a magnificent suit for the dashing gentlecolt, as well." Rarity added which aslo made Zach lightly blush at the comment.
"Oh, why, I don't think I would call myself that, but thank you for the compliment and the offer." Zach thanked.
"I'll make one for you and you and all of you. Oh! And of course Pinkie and Fluttershy too. Oh, and when I'm done, we can hold our very own fashion show!" Rarity said excitingly.
"I'll make one for you and you and all of you. Oh! And of course Pinkie and Fluttershy too. Oh, and when I'm done, we can hold our very own fashion show!" Rarity said excitingly.
"What a great idea! If you're sure you can handle it." Twilight said.
"Oh, it'll be a little bit of work, but it will be a wonderful boost for my business. Plus, fun!" Rarity pointed out playfully as she gets out rolls of fabric from her shelves to get started on sewing the dresses.
"Oh, I love fun things!" Dash said happily.
"Then it's settled. We'll have a fashion show starring us." Rarity said as she rolled out the fabric on the table and the others cheered as she cuts a section of one of the fabrics starting her work.
"So all you have to do is make a different, stunning, original, amazing outfit for one, two, three, four, five... plus yourself, six ponies? And lickety split?" Applejack asked in curiosity.
"Oh, Applejack. You make it sound as if it's going to be hard." Rarity laughed playfully. As the rest left to let Rarity start on her work she sings a tune to get her fashion eyes going.
"Thread by thread, stitching it together
Twilight's dress, cutting out the pattern snip by snip
Making sure the fabric folds nicely
It's the perfect color and so hip
Always gotta keep in mind my pacing
Making sure the clothes' correctly facing
I'm stitching Twilight's dress
Yard by yard, fussing on the details
Jewel neckline, don't you know a stitch in time saves nine?
Make her something perfect to inspire
Even though she hates formal attire
Gotta mind those intimate details
Even though she's more concerned with sales
It's Applejack's new dress
Dressmaking's easy, for Pinkie Pie something pink
Fluttershy something breezy
Blend color and form,
Do you think it looks cheesy?
Something brash, perhaps quite fetching
Hook and eye, couldn't you just simply die?
Making sure it fits forelock and crest
Don't forget some magic in the dress
Even though it rides high on the flank
Rainbow won't look like a tank
I'm stitching Rainbow's dress
Piece by piece, snip by snip
Croup, dock, haunch, shoulders, hip
Thread by thread, primmed and pressed
Yard by yard, never stressed
And that's the art of the dress!" Rarity sung and was finished. She then invited the gang over to look at their new uniforms. They kept their eyes shut instructed by Rarity as a surprise as they listen to her voice while walking along.
"That's it. Keep them closed. Don't look. Okay, you can look now!" Rarity said and they all opened their eyes and gasped in surprise by the sight. From left to right in order were the attires of the six Applejack, Zach, Twilight, Fluttershy, Dash, and Pinkie Pie in styles that nearly proceed them wit Opal nuzzling in delight by Rarity's creations. Applejack's were in a farming style with green flaming boots with a new hat and saddle and apples on on them. Zach's was a classy black tuxedo with a gray tie, golden buttons on the white waist coat, and long pants. Twilight's was a starry image on the edges and on the saddle with a star pin on the ear. Fluttershy's was a green forest design with a butterfly collar and ear pin. Dash's has the rainbow pattern on the back with cotton around the rims like clouds, a grape necklace, golden shoe straps, and a greek styled crown. Pinkie's had the design of a candy shop owner with pink and blue trimming along with some bowties for affect.
"These are your new outfits. What do you think of your old duds now, Applejack? Pretty swanky, are they not? Zach darling, I think this suit will make you look the most dashing out of every gentlecolt, would you agree? And Twilight! I made this dress for you and I designed each outfit theme to perfectly reflect each pony's unique personality. Oh, it took me forever to get the colors right on this one, Rainbow Dash, but I did it. Oh, and it turned out BEAUTIFUL, don't you think? Ooo, and I know you are going to love yours, Fluttershy. It just sings spring! And Pinkie Pie, look! Pink! Your favorite! Aren't they all amazing?" Rarity asked excitingly. The group had blank expressions on their faces and Rarity blinked a couple times in worry.
"Well I'll be the first, I think mine is great Rarity. Thank you." Zach thanked.
"Oh why that's good to hear. What about the rest of you." Rarity asked.
"Wow... They're..." Twilight stammered.
"Yeah, they're..." Dash joined also stuttering.
"They sure are... sumth'n." Applejack said with a nervous smile.
"Yes! Something." Twilight quickly said.
"I love something! Something is my favorite!" Pinkie added also trying to coax a smile.
"It's... nice." Fluttershy said with a dissapointed expression with her ears drooped.
"But what's the matter? Don't you like them?" Rarity asked sensing that their was a problem.
"They're very nice..." Twilight assured.
"And we're plum grateful cause you worked so hard on them." Applejack said.
"Mine's just not as cool as I was imagining." Dash admitted rudely and the group gave her scowling looks.
"She asked." Dash pointed out defensively.
"I guess what we're all saying is that they're just not what we had in mind." Twilight said and the girls agreed which lowered Rarity's self esteem.
"That's okay. Not a problem. There's plenty more where that came from. They were only a first pass. You're my friends and I want you to be 110% satisfied. Not to worry, I'll redo them." Rarity guaranteed.
"Oh, Rarity. You don't have to do that. They're fine." Fluttershy assured.
"I want them to be better that just fine. I want you to think they're absolutely perfect." Rarity insisted.
"Are you sure? I mean, we wouldn't wanna impose." Applejack asked.
"Oh, it's no imposition. Really, I insist." Rarity assured.
"Well, in that case... Thank you again, Rarity." Twilight thanked and the group left with Rarity giggling nervously. Before Zach left he gave Rarity a worried look knowing it's not going to go well.
"What have I gotten myself into?" Rarity asked herself with Opal meowing as an answer. Rarity was then working herself to the bone as fast as she can to try and get the dresses done before sun down. Her mane became all mussed and messy with the curly fashion out of whack. Fluttershy then enters the room.
"Hello? You wanted to see me, Rarity?" Fluttershy asked.
"Fluttershy! Your new-new gown's ready. I completely revised it and I know you're going to love it." Rarity assured. Soon Fluttershy was in a new dress similar to the last one.
"What do you think?" Rarity asked excitingly.
"I... love it." Fluttershy hesitated.
"Oh, you're just saying that."
"No, no. I do. It's... nice."
"Nice?"
"Nice."
"If you don't like it, you should just tell me."
"Oh, but I do like it."
"Like it or love it?" Rarity asked again and started pushing Fluttershy back to a wall.
"Um... both?
"Which is it?"
"Please stop asking me this, I..."
"Well, just tell me what you really think."
"No, that's okay..."
"Tell me."
"No... it's fine..."
"Tell me!"
"I... like it..."
"Tell me, tell me, tellmetellmetellme!" Rarity squealed repeatedly stomping her hooves on the ground impatiently.
"All right! Since you really wanna know... [inhales] The armscye's tight, the middy collar doesn't go with the shawl lapel, the hems are clearly machine-stitched, the pleats are uneven, the fabric looks like toile, you used a backstitch here when it clearly called for a topstitch or maybe a traditional blanket stitch and the overdesign is reminiscent of pret-a-porter and not true French haute couture." Fluttershy said in one breath leaving Rarity bewildered.
"But, uh... you know... um, whatever you want to do is fine." Fluttershy assured. Rarity then decided she had no choice but to let the others tell her how to design their outfits the way they want it. Twilight was first to instruct.
"Now, the stars on my belt need to be technically accurate. Orion has three stars on his belt, not four." Twilight explained as Rarity sews her dress with constellations on it and begins to sing her song again.
[Rarity]
"Stitch by stitch, stitching it together
Deadline looms, don't you know the client's always right?
Even if my fabric choice was perfect
Gotta get them all done by tonight
Pinkie Pie, that color's too obtrusive
Wait until you see it in the light
I'm sewing them together!"
"Don't you think my gown would be more "me" with some lollipops?" Pinkie asked.
"Well, I think..." Rarity tried to advise but was cut off.
"Balloons?"
"Well..."
"DO IT!" Pinkie exclaimed and Rarity obeyed.
[Rarity]
"Hour by hour, one more change
I'm sewing them together, take great pains
Fluttershy, you're putting me in a bind
Rainbow Dash, what is on your mind?
Oh my gosh, there's simply not much time
Don't forget, Applejack's duds must shine
Dressmaking's easy, every customer's call
Brings a whole new revision
Have to pick up the pace, still hold to my vision."
"That constellation is Canis Major, not Minor." Twilight explained pointing at a constellation diagram. Then two birds appear in front of her with a dress design drawing.
"French haute couture, please." Fluttershy asked and made Rarity hesitated in disgust but got to work on it after hearing what Applejack wants.
"What if it rains? Galoshes!" Applejack thought which made Rarity very unsure why she would think that and went to Pinkie.
"More balloons! Oh no, that's too many balloons. More candy! Oh, less candy. Oh wait, I know. Streamers!" Pinkie said excitingly.
"Streamers?" Rarity questioned.
"Whose dress is this?" Pinkie reminded.
"Streamers it is." Rarity said and got to work on it. As soon as she was done she got onto Dash's but was unsure what to do and turned to Dash hoping for some details.
"What?" Dash asked confusingly.
"Aren't you going to tell me to change something too?" Rarity asked.
"No, I just want my dress to be cool."
"Do you not like the color?"
"The color's fine, just make it look cooler."
"Do you not like the shape?"
"The shape's fine, just make the whole thing... you know, cooler. It needs to be about 20% cooler." Dash pointed out unspecifically and Rarity rolled her eyes in annoyance and rested her head on the mannequin tiredly.
[Pinkie Pie]
All we ever want is indecision
[Rainbow Dash]
All we really like is what we know
[Twilight Sparkle]
Gotta balance style with adherence
[Fluttershy]
Making sure we make a good appearance
[Applejack]
Even if you simply have to fudge it
[All]
Make sure that it stays within our budget
[Rarity]
Got to overcome intimidation
Remember, it's all in the presentation!
Piece by piece, snip by snip
Croup, dock, haunch, shoulders, hip
Bolt by bolt, primmed and pressed
Yard by yard, always stressed
And that's the art of the dress!" Rarity finished and sighed letting herself faint to the ground.
"Oh, Opal. These are the ugliest dresses I've ever made." Rarity complained looking at the horrifying images. She then called the gang over to see their new attires.
"Okay. I did exactly what each of you asked for. Now don't hold back. Let me know what you really think." Rarity said. Opal was the doing the complete oppossite to what she did to the older outfits by scrathing and hissing at them and stuck her tongue out in disgust.
"Oh my!" Twilight exclaimed.
"It's... perfect!" Fluttershy said in surprise.
"It's cool!" Dash said happily.
"Wow. They're the best duds I ever did see." Applejack complimented.
"It's exactly what I asked for!" the five girls said in unison. But for Zach he may not be a fashionist expert but he had to disagree and knew that they were the most awkward looking dresses he ever saw. Rarity then sighed in relief happy that it's over.
"Thank you, Rarity." Twilight thanked.
"Are you as happy with them as we are? Huh, huh, huh?" Pinkie asked excitingly. Rarity quickly thought of something to say to avoid hurting their feelings.
"Well, I'm... happy that all of you are happy. I'm just relieved to finally be done." Rarity admitted. Suddenley the door oopen revealing Spike panting.
"You are never gonna believe this! You've heard of Hoity-Toity?" Spike asked excitingly.
"The bigwig fashion hotshot in Canterlot?" Twilight asked.
"The hotshot?" Zach asked again to make sure.
"Uh-huh. He heard about your fashion show. Well, maybe I happened to mention it to him... He's coming here all the way from Canterlot to see your work, Rarity!" Spike said happily.
"Whoa, Nelly! You could sell a ton o' dresses to this guy. You business will be boomin'!" Applejack pointed out excitingly and the group began congratulating Rarity but she wasn't in happy spirit knowing that they have to wear the ugly second dresses in front of others.
"Hoity-Toity? He's coming here? To see these dresses?" Rarity asked in worry.
"Yep! Get ready for all of your dreams to come true." Spike said and Rarity's eye began twitching knowing what is going to come. Later that night a cat walk was placed right in front of the entrance of the boutique and it didn't take long for a crowd to gather around. Rarity with her cat Opal poke their heads out of the curtains to take a look at the crowd.
"Oh. [gasp] There he is!" Rarity pointed out in horror and sees Hoity-Toity walk down with stylish white hair and gray fur. He also wears aviator sunglasses. He gets up at the front of the cat walk and claps his hooves for a pillow to sit on and a servant of his brings one to him and sits on it.
"[deep breath 3 times] Okay. Relax, Rarity. Your friends like their outfits and so will he." Rarity kid herself. Suddenly the lights went out.
"UUUAAA, what's wrong with the lights?! Oh, yes. That means the show's starting. Good." Rarity remembered nervously retreating back in the curtains.
"Rarity?" Zach unexpectedly calls out from behind and startles Rarity.
"WAAAAH, don't laugh at me, I... Oh it's you, Zach." Rarity sighed.
"Rarity, are you sure you want to do this? You know as well as I do that those dresses could ruin you." Zach pointed out worriedly.
"I... I don't know anymore, Zach. Honestly, I just want to make them happy. Yes, I too want them to look nice at the Gala, but this isn't what I expected. I don't know what to do anymore."
"There is still a chance to call it off."
"No, the show must go on."
"Okay, well, good luck." Zach said and went off the stage leaving Rarity with a worried face. Soon a DJ plays a record beat and the headlights turn to Spike speaking into a microphone.
"Since the beginning of time the elite of Equestria have longed for pony fashions that that truly expressed the essence of their very souls. Patiently waiting decades... no, centuries! ...for the perfect pony gown. Today at long last, Equestria, your wait is over! Let's hear it for the breathtaking designs of Ponyville's own... Rarity!" Spike announced and the curtains moved away revealing the dresses for the five mares. The audience gasped not in awe and amazement but in shock and disgust. Twilight comes out with her constellation gown covering her whole legs, wearing starry bowties on the front of the dress and the tail, star earrings, and wearing a dangly star like crown. Applejack comes out looking like her work duds but in a more old fashioned style, wearing a long oversized cowpony hat, and for no reason galoshes. Fluttershy looks more like a flowerly tree than a pegasus. She wears a birds nest on her with eggs and flowers on the back of it, wears giant flowers around her neck, mossy shoes, and the gown looks like something from a swamp but with flowers pictured on it. Dash looks like an elite soldier of some kind. She had a rainbow helmet on her head with a golden lighting bolt rod on top, wore a red cape with a cloud and lightning bolt stitched on it similar to her cutie mark, rainbow socks, and golden boots with small wings on the back of them. Last Pinkie appears unnaturally wearing a giant cupcake hat with a cherry on top, wore a green shirt with an oversized yellow bowtie, a streamer tootoo, balloons tied around her tail, and yellow bowties on her hooves. They walk down the cat walk showing off their hideous attires and made their way to the turning table at the end with the crowd murmuring, looking at, and even sticking their tongues out in disgust. It didn't take long for them to notice this.
"Why's everypony lookin' at us like that?" Applejack asked in confusion. Twilight looked at her constellation gown and at her jingling star crown. She then sees Zach among the crowd nodding with an embarrassed look.
"Oh dear." Twilight muttered in realization.
"You think we overdid it?" Dash whispered.
"Nah." Applejack disagreed but looked down at her galoshes and realized how silly they looked on her especially when it's on a dry night.
"Okay, maybe a little." Applejack admitted embarrassingly.
"Oh, those amateurish designs look like a piled-on mishmash of everything but a kitchen sink!" Hoity-Toity mocked disgustedly and the audience laughes at the insult. Rarity ironically bought a new sink and left it by the front door and quickly slid it back with her hind leg out of sight.
"It's a travesty, it's what it is. Those outfits are the ugliest things I've ever seen, oh for shame. Who is responsible for subjecting our eyes to these horrors? Not to mention wasting my valuable time." Hoity-Toity demanded.
"Oh! Hide me." Rarity urged hiding behind Opal shaking in fear. Opal even tried to hide her owner.
"Come on out and take a bow, Rarity. You worked really hard for this. Yes! Alright, woohoo! Go, Rarity!" Spike cheered looking at her by the entrance. Realizing he gave her away she had no choice but to reveal herself walking down the cat walk looking down shamefully. The crowd began muttering again as Rarity walked down. Soon the other five mares produced shameful expressions on their faces realizing what they have done. Days later Rarity isolated herself in her room not even taking a step out afraid of showing her face around others and shaming herself again. The six came over and tired to persuade her to come out. Pinkie bagan nocking on the door.
"Rarity? You okay in there? You haven't come out for days." Pinkie called out pressing her ear to the door to try and hear.
"I'm never coming out! I can't show my face in Ponyville ever again! I used to be somepony. I used to be respected. I made dresses. Beautiful, beautiful dresses! But now everypony is laughing at me. I'm nothing but a laughing stock!" Rarity cried in her bedroom. She was a complete mess wearing her bed robe, slippers, and even her mane was nothing but a mess missing some of it's curls.
"You're not a laughing stock, Rarity..." Twilight assured.
"She kind of is." Dash corrected.
"Shut up." Zach whispered urgently with Twilight shushing supportedly.
"Come on out and talk to us." Twilight pleaded.
"Leave me alone! I want to be alone! I want to wallow in... whatever it is that ponies are supposed to wallow in! Do ponies wallow in pity? Oh, listen to me, I don't even know what I'm supposed to wallow in! I'M SO PATHETIC!" Rarity sobbed dramatically.
"Tell me about it, she's in denial." Zach whispered.
"Now what do we do?" Twilight asked.
"Uh... panic?" Fluttershy suggested.
"That's your answer for everything!" Dash pointed out irritatedly.
"Well, we can't just leave Rarity like this." Applejack pointed out.
"She'll become a crazy cat lady!" Pinkie predicted.
"She only has one cat." Twilight reminded.
"Give her time." Pinkie assured.
"Hmmm. Huh? Hey, I have an idea. Look at the side of the room." Zach urged after looking through the lock of the door and allowed Twilight to take a peek. Among the bare mannequins in the room one caught her attention which had the unfinished design Rarity wanted to make for herself on it. Twilight caught on with Zach's idea and nodded in agreement with determined looks on their faces. As they were able to sneak out the design the next day Rarity continues to ramble about what to do with her miserable life.
"Exile... I guess technically I'd have to move away to live in exile. Where would I go? And what would I pack? Oh, it's going to take me forever to do all of that packing. What are you supposed to pack when you go to exile? Are you supposed to pack warm?" Rarity questioned herself. Then she heard meowing outside and recognized it as Opal's.
"Opal?" Rarity said in worry and opened her bedroom her window looking around and sees Opal holding on a tree branch shaking holding on for dear life.
"Opal, how did you get up there? Hang on, you poor dear! Mama's coming!" Rarity said and sprinted outside to save her cat. She stopped suddenly and gasp after seeing Dash on the tree branch next to Opal.
"Rainbow Dash?! How dare you strand my poor Opal on the tree?!" Rarity shouted in anger.
"Well, how else were we gonna get you out here to show you this!" Dash pointed at the others and they reveal the finished dress. It had a royal look to it with pink, purple, matching colored beads on the gown with yellow trim, diamond necklace and earings, and a golden tiara. Rarity's eyes were widened in disbelief.
"What is it? It's not... You... [gasp]" Rarity stuttered in total surprise.
"We all finished your dress for you." Pinkie said excitedly.
"Thanks to Fluttershy's freaky knowledge of sewing." Applejack pointed out which made Fluttershy slightly blush.
"Do you like it?" Fluttershy asked.
"Like it? Like it?!" Rarity repeated sounding unimpressed and dissapointed as she walks around the dress looking it over.
"Uh-uo. She doesn't like it." Fluttershy predicted.
"No, I don't like it." Rarity assured with a dissaproving stance and tone and the group groaned.
"I LOVE IT!" Rarity corrected in ectasy changing her expression with a wide smile. The group cheered in relief.
"You ponies did an amazing job. It's exactly the way I imagined it." Rarity complimented.
"We just followed your brilliant design." Fluttershy explained.
"Like you should have let you do for our outfits. Those first dressed you designed were perfect. We should've accepted them like Zach did." Twilight admitted shamefully.
"We're so super sorry." Pinkie apologized with the others lowering their heads in shame.
"You worked really hard to make our dresses exactly the way we wanted them. We all saw how well that turned out." Dash said sheepfully while landing on the ground and returning Opal on Rarity's back.
"Oh, I forgive you." Rarity assured.
"Well, that's mighty big of you." Applejack thanked.
"But my whole career is still ruined!" Rarity reminded dramatically.
"Oh, right. That." Applejack remembered sadly. Twilight then noticed Zach talking to Hoity-Toity in front of the boutique.
"Maybe not." Twilight disagreed.
"This I guarantee. What do you say?" Zach asked happily.
"All right, I haven't got all day." Hoity-Toity gave in sounding a little uninterested.
"Good. Spike, get the stage ready!" Zach called out. Soon they decided to do the rehearsal inside the building. Opal began playing with Hoity-Toity's puffed mane taking a liking to it.
"Take two." Hoity-Toity called and moved Opal away.
"Okay, lights please!" Zach shouted and Spike closed the curtains in dark shadow. Then Rarity casted a magic spell on the stage illuminating the whole room in an image. Hoity-Toity gasped in amazement and wonder awaiting the designs he has been promised of as he sat in front of the stage. The light made three golden orbs shine in the middle and soon brightened to reveal Zach showing off his tux.
"Hello... Oh, this can't be the same designer." Hoity-Toity muttered to himself in amazement adjusting his sunglasses to make sure he is seeing correctly. Then the light turned into a space purple and the stars moved to a different location and revealed Twilight in her destined dress.
"Incredible! Now this is interesting." Hoity-Toity cheered. Soon he found himself in Sweet Apple Acres looking at the mass field of delicious apple trees. Then a lasso tugged one down and shows Applejack showing off her new duds.
"Simply magnificent! And I suddenly have a fierce craving for some Dutch apple pie, candied apples on a stick, apple turnovers, apple cobbler..." Hoity-Toity began murmuring to himself on what apple treats to have. Next was raining candy landing on a gown and hat. A tongue sticked out and caught a piece of candy to eat. It was Pinkie with a huge smile in delight in her gown.
"Brilliant!" Hoity-Toity cheered again and was then startled by booming thunder. Clouds enshrouded the sun and showed rainbow beams of light shining through it and aligned in order to show Dash's awesome design.
"Oh, spectacular!" Hoity Toity cheered ecstatically. All of a sudden the room was growing with plant life and the flowers bloomed and the petals broke off floating in the air and a butterfly landed on an ear and transformed into an ear pin and revealed Fluttershy in her natural fitting attire.
"Now this is a fashion show. All of these designs are absolutely amazing. Who is responsible? Step forward, show yourself!" Hoity-Toity called out for impatiently. Finally one last blinding light shined and showed Rarity in her new dress with the others standing behind her.
"Brava! Brava! Magnifico! Encore!" Hoity-Toity clapped his hooves in delight.
"Oh, thank you. Thank you! Oh, thank you so much!" Rarity thanked happily sounding like she was about to cry in tears of joy. As the show was over the gang began complimenting each other on how great they look in their new attires and Twilight prepares a new note.
"Dear Princess Celestia. This week my very talented friend Rarity learned that if you try to please everypony, you often times end up pleasing nopony, especially yourself. And I learned this: when somepony offers to do you a favor, like making you a beautiful dress, you shouldn't be overly critical of something generously given to you. In other words, you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth." Twilight giggled.
"I'm glad you learned your lesson. And dare I say, you look magnificent in that dress." Zach complimented which made Twilight blush slightly.
"Well, you're pretty dashing yourself, handsome." Twilight complimented back and it was Zach's turn to blush and both laughed happily. Spike then blew on the note and send it away to Princess Celestia. As Hoity-Toity watched it fly out the window he approached Rarity.
"Rarity, my congratulations to you on a most impressive fashion debut. Would you do me the great honor of allowing me to feature your couture in my best of the best boutique in Canterlot?" Hoity-Toity offered which made Rarity gasped in ectasy with an excited grin on her face.
"Now, I'll need you to make a dozen of each dress for me by next Tuesday." Hoity-Toity mentioned which made Rarity's eye twitch in fear. Then she felt a lone hoof on her shoulder and looks to see Zach and the others with comforting smiles on them.
"We'll help out. Besides, we made it before." Zach reminded and Rarity smile back knowing that everything she ever dreamed of has come to life thanks to her friends.
[Again, sorry for another delay. A problem occured and had a problem fixing it.
