Rarity got back up after having Rainbow Dash knocking her to the ground. She looked down at one of her lovely white hooves. Rarity was about to faint before she remembered who caused her to get a little dirty. A quiet giggle escaped her lips.

“Thanks a lot, Rainbow Dash.” Rarity sighed and walked back into Carousel Boutique. “You caused me to need to shower before going shopping.” She was the kind of pony who wouldn’t want to be seen in any place where other ponies could see her with some dirt on her hooves. Rarity didn’t waste any time getting back inside.

Before Rarity got on her way to the shower, she had to stop by her bed to look for something. Covers and pillows went flying in the air as she tried to find something that meant the world to her. A squeal that nopony would think would come from Rarity, the queen of fashion in Ponyville, shot through the room. What she pulled close to her chest was a plushie doll of a rainbow maned pegasus. It was a Rainbow Dash plushie that she made out of the highest quality materials in all of Equestria. Her face and ears under her pure white fur were turning red.

“Oh Rainbow, you don’t know how you make my heart flutter.” She fell back onto her bed. “I wish I could show you how I feel about you.” She felt tears roll down her cheek. All that Rarity wanted to do was lay there and cuddle her Rainbow Dash plushie, but sadly she had to go to the market and get materials for the dress she was commissioned to do. So she did the only thing she could do, take a shower and make the run through the market as fast as she could.

The sun was shining brightly thanks to Princess Celestia. The warm rays felt really great on Rarity’s back as she moved down the road. Rainbow Dash and the other pegasus did a really good job today. She loved the market on those days. She could see how the materials glowed in the light of a great day like this.

In the skies above here, there was a rainbow streak shooting across it. Rarity just looked up and had a dreamy expression on her face. She snapped back to what was going on when the pony at one of the shops, she was going to, called out to her. Rarity smiled as she moved to talk to the sales pony.

“Hello there, any new materials come in for me to use?” She looked at what he had laying out for display.

“We did. It’s the best I have ever seen in all my days selling.” He pulled out the brightest rainbow material that Rarity had ever seen in her whole life, well not including Rainbow’s mane.

“How many bits do you want for it?”

“For you Miss Rarity… 150 bits.”

“I will take it.” The magic around her horn moved the bits out of her bag she was taking with her to the market and dropped it down in front of him.

“Ah thank you, Miss Rarity. Is there anything else I can do for you on this nice day?”

“If you would be so kind my good friend, I have a list of things I need for a few of my dress.” A list unfolded itself, enveloped in blue magic, in front of the sales pony. He just smiled and nodded in understanding.

“I don’t think this should be a problem. Just give me a few to get it all together,” said the sales pony.

“Thank you so very much.” Rarity smiled, because on that list of materials were some of the things she needed to make another plushie of herself. It would look so lovely next to her Rainbow Dash. Oh thank you, Celestia for this lucky day… now if I could only tell Rainbow Dash my feelings for her. Maybe one day I will be able to be as bold as she is. That would be very lovely indeed.
