Twilight's birthday party in Canterlot Castle was a mere two days away, and a distressed Rarity had yet to find the perfect present for the alicorn. She could make her a dress, but would that really be worthy of an adorable princess who seemingly had it all, including Rarity's unwavering affections? Surely there had to be something else in Canterlot that would fit the ticket!

Besides, even if she did end up giving Twilight a dress, it wouldn't be the end of the world... right?

Special thanks to the awesome [DuchessLunatik] for the cover art!
