Rainbow Dash stood stock still while Rarity took her measurements and started comparing different fabrics on Rainbow Dash. Spike walked in front of Rainbow Dash while she stood on the platform still, so Rarity wouldn’t prick her with a needle.

“So what else can you do other than revive ponies?” asked Spike curiously.

“I can summon weather, control storms, and go faster than sound.” Rainbow answered nonchalantly.

“Whoa. Can you fight?” he inquired animatedly.

“Yeah I can.” Rainbow responded with a smile.

“Oh, can you create things out of nowhere?”

“Well yeah, but it depends on what it is.”

“Do you know if aliens exist?”

“Probably. Considering the people I’ve met so far, I’m guessing there are.”

“Have you ever fought a dragon?”

“Uh, not yet n-Oh wait never mind I did.” she corrected herself, remembering the Corrupt war against Darkness.

“Whoa… do you have a very special somepony?” he asked with a blush.

“Umm…”

“Are you my special somepony?”

“Well I’d like to.”

“Eeyup.” came Rainbow's elated answer.

“Oh Spike will you be a dear and be quiet a moment?” Rarity asked politely.

“Sure.” he replied, more than happy to oblige.

“So Big. I’m going to give you a hat to hide your mane, and a small dress that will hide your tail. Although I’m sure you’ll agree if you wear something over your face or too much of your body you’d attract more attention than you’d want too. I’m sure a yellow hat would look fabulous on you and your dress needs to make sense to wear casually…hmmm.” Rarity put a hoof to her chin. “The hat will be the easiest part of the ensemble for sure.” she mused morbidly.

Spike stood there for a little longer while until he got the idea Rarity was done speaking with Rainbow Dash. He smiled up at Rainbow while she smiled down at him.

“So what’s his name? Is he Storm Chaser too?”

“Storm?” Rainbow’s face held an expression of mild disgust. “I don’t trust Storm with my other self. But he’s ok with me, as long as he doesn’t do anything stupid that will hurt Rainbow.”

“What makes him unlikeable?” inquired Spike.

“He’s a celebrity. Celebrities sometimes think they’re better than everyone else, and would take advantage of any mare that wants to be with them. I’d really hate to see myself be used as a tool.” Rainbow huffed.

“Oh, well he isn’t that bad. They knew each other for a while now and they were friends before Rainbow started dating him. And that was like, years ago.”

“Yeah, well he wasn’t my friend before. I haven’t even heard of him until now. I really don’t like him.”

Rarity came out of her trance. “Idea~!” Rarity looked over to her left and levitated a few fabrics over to Rainbow Dash.

Rarity began expertly wrapping them around Rainbow Dash and Puppet Master spoke up into Rainbow’s mind.

“Rainbow, ask her to design something like a red rose.”

“Why?”

“You are my thane. And you’re part of the Red Rose Empire. Only fitting that you express it.”

“Rarity.” Rainbow interrupted her sewing. “Can you design something around a red rose?” she asked.

“Well of course darling! But why?”

“Because I serve the Red Rose Empire, and I would like to express that.” Rainbow answered her happily.

“Hmm, I can easily do that. I assume I have to hide your tail for this dress?”

“Yes actually. Also I’d like two more. One that I’ll wear for a formal party and one for… a special purpose.” Rainbow added while blushing.

“Oh?” Rarity said with a sly smile.

“Yea.”

“Hey um, Rarity?” spoke up Spike.

“Yes Spikey-wikey?” responded Rarity lovingly.

“You promised me we’d visit Twilight in the afternoon.” he stated looking at the ground sadly.

“Ooooooooooooooh...” Rarity frowned in sadness. “Tell you what. You go by yourself and I’ll stay here. I’ll come by later to pick you up and say hello to Twilight. I have to stay here with Rainbow and finish her dresses. Oh, and if Twilight asks, Big is Rainbow’s sister.”

“Ok Rarity. Goodbye.” he replied waving and jogging to the door. He opened and closed it quickly and was soon out of sight.

“You sure he should be out on his own?” asked Rainbow.

“He’s a baby dragon but he’s still a dragon. He fared better against diamond dogs that I would have. Besides, he’s not a little filly so I doubt someone will decide to snatch him up.” Rarity assured her.

“I guess so.”

Rainbow Dash stood there for an hour while Rarity worked. The first dress was designed around a red hat and the dress itself was red. Rainbow’s mane hid inside the hat while the dress covered her tail. But the dress wrapped around her neck and chest and the coloration of red only started just before it reached her hind legs. Everything from her legs up was white and a feather pattern like her other dress, she was hoping to wear to the Gala to impress Puppet Master. The red skirt part of the dress had small white silhouettes of flowers near the base and it wrapped around her hind legs as well, so you couldn’t see her tail from the front.

The next dress Rarity made was much similar and held the same shape, but instead of the hat that went with it, there was a red rose that was placed in Rainbow’s mane that looked beautiful when Rainbow straightened her hair. The dress itself was much like the last one, only with a different pattern and no feathers. This one looked like Rainbow’s dress she wore to the wedding and it had clouds that rimmed the edges of the skirt. The part that ended where the skirt started was completely white. The only difference was that there was rose below her neck that was exposed on her chest and the stem trailed down to her chest and ended at her stomach. It was also sporting a design that made her blue wings stand out more, with its swirling rainbow pattern that started from red at the base of the skirt and acted like veins across the white shirt that changed colors like a rainbow.

“Ok, I’ve finished both your dresses. Now what of that ‘special dress’ hmm?” Rarity asked with an amused smile.

“Oh, uh.” Rainbow blushed.

“You’d feel more comfortable having sex with me if you had something to take off right?” Asked Rainbow.

“WHAT?! Uh, well…yea I guess. Though I think lifting your skirt up is all you really need to get to me if I found you attractive.”

“So if ever we do have sex, you’d want me to be in all these dresses? Like one at a time?” Rainbow asked confused.

“Maybe. Although it depends on what you feel comfortable with. I personally think putting you in a tight ninja suit would be pretty cool. Although black may be a bit sexy, I find it over used.”

“So what should I wear?”

“UGH!” groaned Isis irritably. “Ok Puppet Master, I know exactly what you want.” she started. “Rainbow ask Rarity to make rainbow colored socks. For your back hooves only! And then have a short skirt that barely covers your tail except for the bottom half of your legs so he can see the socks.”

“Uh, what?” asked Puppet Master out of pure shock.

“Duh, I can read spirits. Your spirit is linked to your body and your lust is attached to that. You find that when Rainbow is in socks and a skirt, she's more alluring.”

“I find this information uncomfortable since it comes from a Dryad.”

“Uh, Rainbow Dash?” asked Rarity.

Rainbow looked at her purple-maned friend.

“You kinda zoned out there.”

“Yeah, sorry.” Rainbow replied sheepishly. “I-I think I know what he might like.” Rainbow started to blush.

“Oh what?” inquired Rarity with a smile.

“Uh. Well…OK! Um I’d like to have Rainbow-colored socks for my hind legs only and a skirt that only covers half of my hind legs. A-and maybe a white shirt to go with it.” Rainbow finished, blushing heavily.

“Oh, an artist I see.” Rarity’s eyes twinkled.

“What?” asked Rainbow confused.

“Oh it’s only artists that find clothing on a mare alluring. It’s kind of a trait for them.” Rarity reasoned.

“Ask her if she has this trait.” Puppet Master mused.

“Hehe. H-hey Rarity you don’t happen to have this trait do you?” Rainbow wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.

“O-oh, well-um-oh my uh.” she stuttered a bit, then blushed. “Umm, yes.” she blushed harder with an uncomfortable smile.

“BAHAHAHAHA!”

Rarity blushed and put her head in her hooves from embarrassment. After Rainbow stopped laughing Rarity brought her face out of her hooves and scowled at her.

“Hehe sorry Rares, found that pretty funny.” Rainbow stated sheepishly.

“Fine. But be warned Rainbow, you do that again I’ll turn you into my pin cushion.” Rarity threatened with a false frown to hide her enjoyment.

Rarity began work on the socks first. She took a sock template that was so thin you could see through it and put it on Rainbow’s legs to see if it fit. Several templates later Rarity realized she needed to create a whole new template to get Rainbow’s size correct to have it high enough to go up to Rainbow’s flanks. The process made Rainbow feel uncomfortable, because her best friend was basically handling her flanks. After thirty minutes, Rarity was able to painstakingly sew together two socks that fit Rainbow Dash well enough, the socks went as high up her legs as far as they could go before the shape of Rainbow’s legs will force them down.

Rarity got to work on the white shirt which took significantly less time. By the time five minutes were up Rainbow had a white shirt that would then connect with the skirt Rarity was deciding to make. Rarity thought back to the dresses and the blatant theme of red and thought that a red skirt would be appropriate for Rainbow’s attire. She chose the red cloth, and started weaving it into a small skirt that would go with the white shirt well.

“And done!” announced Rarity as she slipped on the skirt over Rainbow’s flanks.

“Great! Thanks Rarity.” replied Rainbow relieved that she can move again and walked off the platform and onto the ground.

“Wait, Rainbow how will you carry this around?” asked Rarity.

“Oh uh, it’s better that I show you.” Rainbow rubbed the back of her head.

Rainbow closed her eyes and willed the current vanity items to move to her inventory and the whole thing disappeared.

“W-WHAT?!” shouted Rarity.

“Yeah, I can hold things without actually holding them. It’s like having chest that will always be a part of me. I can do it with the other dresses too.”

Rainbow walked over to the other dresses that were carefully placed on a nearby table. She sucked those up into her inventory as well. Rainbow turned to face Rarity and smiled at her loose jawed expression.

“Hey Rarity. I can also put the dress on too.” Rainbow grinned mischievously.

Rainbow then moved her formal dress into her vanity slot and she suddenly started wearing a red skirt with a white cloud pattern that lined the edges that came with a shirt that had the symbol of a rose on her chest and small rainbow vein design coming up from the skirt.

“T-that’s amazing.” Rarity stared in awe, putting her sewing glasses down on a nearby table.

“Eeyup! And I won’t stop being amazing.” boasted Rainbow.

“Yes, well I hope you really like the dresses. I found them a little strange considering the design, but I think I made it work. I hope you’ll be met with a lot of success in the future with those.” Rarity finished with a warm smile.

“Thanks Rare, I’ll never forget what you did for me. I don’t really know how to pay you back, but I really appreciate your hard work.” Rainbow smiled at her friend.

“Yes, don’t worry I know how much my work means to my friends. But do me a favor, and put that last outfit to good use.” Rarity winked at Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow blushed and returned her dress to the inventory.

“Wait Rarity.” Dash asked with curiousness, “Aren’t you supposed to meet up with Spike at the hospital?”

Rarity’s eyes widened. “SWEET CELESTIA YOU’RE RIGHT! Oh thank you Rainbow Dash, but I need to get to the hospital before visiting hours are closed!” Rarity exclaimed with urgency as she ran through her hats. “Oh if I’m going to be late, I need to look fashionably late!”

“Wow.” Rainbow whispered to herself.

Rainbow decided to leave her frantic friend there to decide which hat to wear while she trotted towards the front door. She opened it up and took one last look at her fashionista friend and smiled to herself as she left the boutique, and turned down the dirt path. She chose not to fly right now because she’s only wondering rather than going to a specific destination.

“So Puppet Master.” started Rainbow Dash.

“Yeah?”

“You think you’d be interested in having sex with me?”

“Yeah, but I need to get more comfortable with the idea of doing it with something other than a human. That’ll take a while. Although by being in your body, I’ve found a strange comfort with how it feels. I mean I can feel everything you do and the longer I’m here the more I think I’m starting to get used to your pony body. If I were to have sex with anypony it’d be more likely that it would be you.”

“That’s good.” Rainbow replied happily.

“Just a question though Rainbow.”

“What is it?”

“Why me? Why do you want to turn away from your own species and work towards coupling with me? I know I treated you well and I was your friend, but you have better friends than me.” Puppet asked quizzically.

“…” Rainbow felt really uncomfortable about this topic so Puppet Master let her work up her courage to tell him. “…Because you’re my dream stallion. SEE I SAID IT! You have power! You give me cool stuff! There is literally nothing dull and lazy about the things we do together! I want to skip my daily naps just to be able to hang with you, in hopes you’ll bring me into some new adventure! All you’ve done since coming into my life is do reckless and amazing things that not only won the hearts of my friends, but me also!” she was yelling in her head. “You’ve gone from strange creature to king in just a month! YOU STOOD YOUR GROUND AGAINST BARRICADE'S STARE! All you’ve done since I met you was do impossible and amazing things... I accepted you as my king.” that mysterious feeling in Rainbow’s heart came back up again. It was identified as pride or loyalty earlier, but this time it came up differently.

It felt different.

“…Rainbow…what are you feeling right now?” Puppet Master asked.

Rainbow didn’t respond and the feeling stayed there. It was like a small flame that made her heart beat faster and feel hotter. It was the strangest sensation that the group of three collectively felt. Rainbow wondered what it was, Isis wondered what it was, Puppet Master wondered what it was. That is until Isis made a noise that indicated something heartwarming just happened.

“Awwwwwwwwwww...” she cooed softly and her joy increased.

“What?” Puppet Master asked.

“You’ll figure it out.” cryptically responded Isis.

“Wait, what do you mean I’ll figure it out? I have no idea what this-… oh.”

“See it now?” stated Isis with a mischievous glint in her words.

“What? What’s going on?” asked Rainbow Dash. “What’s this feeling? Seriously what’s going on?!” Rainbow started panicking.

“Rainbow, calm down.” replied Puppet Master, and the feeling in her heart started to get stronger for a moment.

“W-what’s going on?” she asked.

“Something… pretty amazing actually.” Puppet Master told her.

Rainbow doesn’t know what to make of the new feeling. She looked up from the ground she was intently staring at for a few minutes and noticed she was at town square. She looked into the sky and searched for her double quickly and when she couldn’t find her she assumed she was still on the job. Rainbow Dash continued to wonder down the street when she thought of something.

“I think I should check on Twilight. Or at least Fluttershy.” Rainbow thought. “Actually I wonder if Barricade is still corps commander for Equestria’s Pegasi.” wondered Rainbow.

“Well Rainbow? You think you’re up to finding out?” asked Puppet Master with excitement in his voice.

“HECK YEAH!” that feeling in her heart fueled her inspiration when Puppet Master got involved in her thought.

Rainbow spread her wings and smiled. She flapped up into the air and relished in the wind blowing through her mane. Her happiness currently surpassed Pinkie Pie’s, as she flew off into the distance. The cloud city was in sight when she rose above the small town of Ponyville and it became her target. Rainbow’s wings flapped vigorously and with anticipation. She could feel Puppet Master’s pride in her and that made her feel awesome. She watched Cloudsdale get closer as the distance she traveled increased. It would take a simple five minutes to get there for Rainbow Dash. But her heart made it an eternity, as it filled her head with images of Puppet Master.

Author's Notes:

Some of you...if not all of you actually are opposed to the idea of shipping between Puppet Master and Rainbow Dash. Trust me on this one. There will be no actual shipping but Rainbow WILL be in love with Puppet Master for the rest of the fic until I say otherwise.

Remember Puppet Master doesn't love her back.
