Applejack knocked on Rarity's bedroom door a few times, then immediately burst into the room.

"You know, the point of knocking is to wait for permission to enter!" I said slightly annoyed.

"Howdy, Rarity!" Greeted Applejack, ignoring me.

"Shh!" Twilight exclaimed, "can't you see Rarity is trying to concentrate?"

"What do you think she's makin'?"

"It's a dress shop, what do you think she's making?" I asked rhetorically.

"Stetsons?" I facehoofed.

"It looks like a dress," observed Twilight.

"Thanks, captain obvious, I never would have guessed!"

"Is there something I can help you with?" Rarity asked, turning to face us.

"Oh, so very sorry to trouble you, Rarity, but I need a quick favour," Twilight pulled an old dress from her saddlebags. "Could you please fix the button for me? It's my dress for the Grand Galloping Gala." She laid the dress on a nearby desk. Rarity gasped.

"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!"

"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 Sparkle, I insist on making you a new dress!"

"But-"

"Not another word!" Rarity shook her hoof at Twilight vigorously. "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!" Rarity looked towards Applejack.

"Let me guess, Applejack; you don't want a new gown either."

"Gown?" Asked Applejack, "shoot, I was just gonna wear my old work duds." Rarity gasped again.

"You can't possibly be serious, Applejack! You absolutely must wear formal attire!"

"Hmm... Nah!"

"What if I just spruce up your... 'Duds' for you a little bit?"

"Uh... Okay, sure. Why not? Since you're up for it and all. Just don't make them too... Froufrou-y."

"Deal! What about you, Cloud?"

"I was just gonna buy a tie or something," I explained. "I'm not going for the party anyway."

"That's no excuse to not be as fashionable as possible!"

"I will be fashionable: I'll have my good looks and a tie."

"I wouldn't call that manestyle 'good looking'."

"What was that?"

"Oh, nothing! But I insist on making you something to wear, too."

"Ugh... Fine. But only if it's a plain black suit. Nothing too zesty." Not a word heard very often these days.

"That's fine! I can make even the simplest of suits look amazing!" She suddenly gasped a third time. "Idea! I'll make formal clothes for all of you! As well as the other three, of course."

"Okay, just keep mine simple."

A few days later, Rarity invited us back to carousel boutique to show us our clothes. We were walking into her bedroom with our eyes closed.

"That's it," said Rarity, guiding us. "Keep them closed. Don't look. Okay, you can look now!" We opened our eyes and saw- Shit! That looks awesome! I grinned manically and the girls gasped.

"These are your new outfits! What do you think of your old duds now, Applejack? Pretty swanky, are they not? And Twilight! I made this dress for you and I designed each outfit theme to perfectly reflect each pony's unique personality. Well, except yours, Cloud, I made your suit plain and black as you asked, but I still made it look so elegant, did I not? Oh, it took me forever to get the colors right on this one, Rainbow Dash, but I did it. And it turned out beautiful, don't you think? Ooh, 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?"

"Oh my Realta!" I exclaimed, "these are awesome, Rarity! Do you mind if I try mine on now?"

"Thank you, Cloud! And I don't mind at all, there's a mirror on the back of the door!"

"Thanks!" I grabbed my suit and dashed to the mirror. Before I could put it on, Twilight spoke up.

"Cloud, can I talk to you outside for a second?" She asked.

"Okay." We went outside the room and Twilight closed the door. "What's up?"

"Do you really like the suit she made you that much?" What?

"Of course I do. Why? Don't you like your dress?"

"It's just... Not what I had in mind..."

"So? It's a gift from a friend. You're not even paying her for it, if you hate it you should at least humor her."

"I don't hate it! I just wasn't expecting it to be like that...

"That's your own fault for not asking for something more specific when she offered the first time. If somepony buys you lunch, always make your order specific. She put her heart and soul into those dresses, she even made something as simple as this suit look great. You should be more grateful."

"You're right... Sorry for bothering you about this, Cloud." We went back into the bedroom.

"They sure are, uh..." said Applejack.

"They're great, Rarity!" Exclaimed Twilight who then went on to pretty much repeat what I'd said but in a way that Rarity wouldn't be able to tell that she was trying to tell the others to be grateful.

I closed the door to see the mirror. It's suit time! I put on the suit, struck a pose and looked into the mirror. It looked awesome!

Author's Notes:

New cover art!
I screwed up the tie on the suit picture a bit unfortunately.
I find it kinda funny that I can get Cloud to interact with Apple Bloom in 'Call Of The Cutie' but I can't think of anything interesting enough for 'Fall Weather Friends'.
