"Sweetie... Please, help me clean this up," Rarity said, setting her doll in an arm chair, facing the bed.

Sweetie nodded. "Right. I was actually doing just that before you came home."

Rarity picked up Twist's body and smiled. "Idea!"

"An idea?" beamed Sweetie Belle. "What is it?"

"Oh, I'm going to make our dolly a friend! Out of Twist!" Rarity squealed as she moved Twist's body into her bathtub. She hung her over the side so she would bleed into the tub. "Now, let's clean!"

Sweetie Belle nodded. "Grab a washcloth for me, huh?" asked the foal. "I can't reach," she said, waving her short forelegs up in the air.

Rarity giggled as she passed one down.

Sweetie took it. "Thanks." She then went into the bedroom and began cleaning. "May need of get a bucket of water!" she called. "There's a lot of blood!"

Nearly an hour passed as they finished cleaning.

"They're all cleaned up," said Rarity.

Sweetie wiped her forehead. "Whew... That was a lot of work. Will it always be this messy?"

"No... We'll make a room for this so it's not as bad, kay?"

"Okay," said the filly happily.

"Okay. Now let's get to work on Twist!"

"Where should we start first, sis?" asked Sweetie Belle, a happy grin on her face.

"Well, first we need to cut her open, take out all the icky bits... then we'll clean up her insides... and let her dry."

"Sounds like fun. Let's do it!" cheered Sweetie Belle.

Rarity and Sweetie Belle set to work gutting and cleaning out Twist's body. When Rarity finished, they were left with a hollow skin of Twist, which Rarity started sewing up and stuffing. She even put a set of fake eyes in where the real ones had been.

"Oh, once I'm finished with this I'll show our favorite little dolly her new friend!" Rarity squealed.

"I'm sure she'll absolutely love her."

Rarity finished fixing up their new doll and suddenly smiled. "Look, Sweetie. She looks so much prettier now... If only we could make other ponies as pretty as our dolls..." she said as she started brushing the doll's mane into a style she liked.

"I love that idea!" chimed Sweetie. "But, we should probably keep this a secret, right? I mean, the others... They wouldn't understand."

"Oh, I know... But maybe if I find ponies that really need this kind of makeover... I'll make more dollies... Come on. Let's show our favorite doll her new friend!" Rarity said, smiling.

Sweetie nodded. "Okay. Let's go."

Rarity picked up the Twist doll and set it on her back. She then trotted into her room where Diamond was sitting in her chair. "How's my dolly doing?" she asked.

"Good..." said the foal. "Um... What's on your back?"

Rarity smiled and pulled her Twist doll into Diamond's veiw. "A new friend!"

Diamond screamed. "WH-WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER??!!!"

"I made her better. She's a dolly now!" Rarity chimed, putting the Twist doll up next to Diamond.

The pink foal whimpered. "Please... Get her away from me..."

"But, she's your new friend," Rarity said as she moved the two dolls so they were hugging. "Oh, this is just too cute!"

Diamond started crying.

"Hey hey hey. What's wrong?"

"Y-You're sticking a dead foal in my face," Diamond sobbed.

"She's a dolly like you, though."

"No, she's not!" sobbed Diamond. "SHE'S DEAD!!!"

Rarity's eye twitched. "Would it be better if I made you just like her?" she asked with a crazed smile.

Diamond gasped. "N-No..." she whimpered. "I'm sorry. Just... get her away from me... please..." "I don't think she likes our present, sis," said Sweetie Belle, ears dropping.

Rarity teared up as she took the twist doll away "you don't like my present..."

"It's not that," whimpered Diamond. "I love presents. I just don't like dead ponies rubbed against me..."

"B-B-But I cleaned her out and stuffed her so y-y-you wouldn't get lonely!" Rarity sobbed.

"W-Well... I-I appreciate the thought, but... couldn't you get me an actual doll? Like from the store?"

Sweetie sighed. "We worked so hard on this..."

"Do you kn-kn-know how many times I had to stop and wash my hooves? 39 times!" Rarity sobbed into Diamond's fur.

Diamond shifted her eyes side-to-side before sighing. She then closed her eyes. "May I see the doll, please?"

Rarity slid the Twist doll back into the chair.

Diamond gulped. "You know... if I could move... I'd hug it..."

Rarity sniffled and put the filly so she hugged her other dolly.

Diamond shuddered but soon calmed down as she inhaled. "Mmm... She actually smells nice. You use perfume, or something?"

"A little of my strawberry shampoo," Rarity said with a small smile.

The foal sniffed again. "Well... I-I guess... I could... live with it... I mean, it's not... too bad... right?"

"No, and I'll make sure to keep it clean, too!"

Diamond managed a smile. "Okay..."

"Oh, my cute little dolly... I'm gonna go into town again, then stop off to see Pinkie Pie. I'll be back later, okay you two?" Rarity called as she went for the door.
