"Okay, Blitz, we gotta wear something fancy," Rainbow said. She had just spoken to her brother about what Soarin told her minutes before. They had to sneak into the restaurant. It was the most elegant in town, and getting reservations there was pretty hard to do. They also needed the fancy clothes because of how fancy the place is itself.
"I've got my suit and tie from junior prom last year," Blitz pointed out.
"Nah, I don't think you can fit it anymore. You've grown a lot since then," said Rainbow."Well, I have to go to the boutique and get Rarity to make something for me."
"Dash, it's Thursday. Do you honestly think she can make a dress in two days?" Her brother asked."While you figure that out, I'm gonna go ahead and try on my tux." He walked away, mumbling something under his breath. Dash ignored it and took her phone out, going into her contacts and calling Rarity.
"Rarity speaking," a British voice answered. A quite lousy one to say the least in Rainbow's opinion.
"Rares, quit the act. I need you to make me a fancy dress," Rainbow said grudgingly.
"Rainbow Dash, that is no way to speak to one of your friends!" Rarity scolded her. Rainbow rolled her eyes and spoke in a sarcastic manner.
"I'm sorry, Rarity. Would you please make me a fancy dress?"
"Yes I can," Rarity replied, seeming to not catch her sarcastic voice."This is a first."
"What is?"
"You asking me to make you a dress." Rarity giggled a bit, and Rainbow rolled her eyes again.
"Can you just make it by Saturday evening? I'm going to the Vista that day."
"THE VISTA?! Did someone ask you out?!" Rarity asked, filled with as much excitement as Pinkie Pie.
"No. I'm going with my brother," Rainbow said, which caused Rarity to calm her mood.
"Oh. Well that's nice too, I guess. But I shall have your dress ready by Saturday. What color do you want it to be?"
"Magenta." Rainbow looked at the refrigerator nearby, then back at the wall."And make it sparkly."
Rarity gasped."S-Sparkly?! Oh, Rainbow, I'll work on it right away!"
"Rainbow smiled."Thanks. And can you save a large tux for me? I think someone's gonna need one."
"Oh yes, of course."
"Thanks." She hung up and set her phone down, tapping on the wooden table in the kitchen. Her brother came back out wearing a tux that seemed smaller than it was last year.
"So, how do I look?" He tried to ask in a soothing voice, but it only came out as a catch for air. He was trying to suck his fat in, which didn't work at all.
"Like the Hulk trying to put on his shorts for the first time," Rainbow said. She got up from the chair she was sitting in, picked up her phone, and patted her brothe on the shoulder.
"Oh, brother, you poor, poor thing," she said, she walked into her room and shut the door.
"Um, Dash? I need to pee and I can't get out of this tux. Help me, please?"
Rainbow looked at her watch. She was standing in front of the boutique, waiting for it to open. She decided to lean on the door until she felt Rarity's presence. She knew it was a bit too early to be picking up her dress, but she also had a hair appointment and needed to find accessories and shoes that she didn't bother to look for the day before. What made it worst was that it was her day off from school, and decided to sit on the couch and watch T.V. without a care in the world.
Because of her impatient personality, she call Rarity three times, but no answer. She wanted to bang on the door, but she knew that Rarity would just nag her for being 'rude' or 'disruptive.' So she leaned on the door and waiting, checking her watch every five minutes. All of a sudden, a pull came from the door, causing her fall on her back. Luckily, her ponytail kept her from any head injuries (weird right?). She looked up to see Rarity in a pink robe, holding a mug of coffee in her right hand.
"Rainbow Dash? Why so early?" Rarity said, raising an eyebrow.
"What the heck, Rarity? You couldn't give me a heads up before you just make someone fall?" Rainbow said furiously.
Rarity laughed."I thought this would have been funnier." She held out a hand for Rainbow, and she grabbed it, rubbing off anything in her overalls.
"Well, I have a lot to do today, so I decided to just get the dress out of the way," Rainbow said, putting her hands on her hips.
"Well, lucky for you I finished it today," Rarity said, walking towards a closed-off room.
"Today? Didn't you just wake up?" Rainbow followed her.
"Why of course not. I don't just sleep in like that! The reason why I open so late is so I can finished my projects. I woke up at 7 am this morning just to get this dress done. When I saw you approaching, I just decided to let you in when I was done. So, what do you think?" She opened the curtains to reveal a sparkling magenta dress with a fuchsia ribbon that was tied around it. It was one-sleeved, with a bottom that was short in the front, and long and flowing at the back.
"Rarity, it's perfect!" Rainbow said touching the silky fabric.
"Wouldn't you like to try it on?" Rarity asked. Rainbow rapidly nodded with a big smile spread across her face. Rarity took the dress off from the mannequin and give it to her friend, who gladly took it and zoomed to the nearest dressing room. After a few minutes, Rainbow came out and twirled in her disguise.
"How do I look?" She asked. Rarity's pupils enlarged and her eyes started to sparkle. A tear left her eye as she walked towards her friend to give her a hug.
"Perfect. Absolutely perfect."
"Thanks, Rarity. I'm gonna need some accessories to go with this, though. Got any?" Rainbow asked.
"I sure do! I'll be right back," Rarity said. Rainbow went back into the dressing room to take her dress off.
"Calm down, Rainbow Dash. You don't know what's gonna happen. It's not like he'll marry her, right? It's just a—a get together, that's it. Just friends hanging out with each other. No big deal at all," she said to herself. She put her clothes back on and came out of the dressing room, coming face-to-face with and overly excited Rarity.
"Here's your accessories! I think they go well with your eyes." Rarity gave her a necklace with pink gems in it, along with matching earrings. She took the dress away from her to bag it up.
"Thanks, Rares. Do you have to tux too?" Rainbow asked.
"They're all over there by the men's section," Rarity said, picking out shoes for her loving friend. Rainbow went over to the section and found a tuxedo that was just her brother's size. She came back with it in her arms.
"Okay. I got the money in my pocket. How much do I owe ya?" She asked.
"The tuxedo costs $90," Rarity said.
"And everything else?"
"On the house."
"Woah, really?"
"Yeah, but there's a catch," Rarity said. She put a pair of high heels on the counter."You have to wear these."
"Seriously?"
"Yes. And—"
"There's an and?" Rainbow asked, feeling grumpy already.
"Yes, there's an 'and.' You have to get Thunderlane to hang out with me," she said, smirking.
"Ugh, fine," Rainbow groaned. She gave Rarity the $90, and she put the smaller objects in one bag, leaving Rainbow to carry two outfits along with it. She took all of it and walked out of the store.
"Bye, Rarity."
"Goodbye!"
"Oh mah goodness. You look beautiful," Blitz said, wiping fake year from his eyes. Rainbow rolled hers.
"Shut up. We gotta go," Rainbow said. They both went out of the house and got in Blitz' truck. Then they were off.
"Thanks for buying my tux, by the way. Pretty sweet of you," Blitz said.
"Yeah yeah, I know. I'm the best sister ever," Dash said.
"Eh, you're alright."
"Hey! What sister would buy you something that expensive just to wear for one day?"
"Who says I'm wearing this just for the plan? I'm gonna wear this to senior prom."
"If you actually make it," Dash laughed. Blitz light punched her in the arm.
"I made last year's, so I can make this year's. No problemo," Blitz said.
"Yeah, okay. I'm gonna watch mom receive a call from Principal Celestial saying that you didn't make it to prom. I'm gonna laugh on the inside and out with mom yells at you.
Blitz rolled his eyes." Whatever."
They had finally made it to the Vista. They both got out of the truck and walked slowly towards the restaurant. Or at least Rainbow did.
"These heels are killin' me," she whispered, trying not to get a blister from the pain. They had finally made it to the inside, where a woman was standing behind a desk with a computer on it.
"May I help you?" She sounded like robot that was losing battery life. Blitz and Dash cringed at her voice.
"Yes, I have reservations for two." Blitz said. Rainbow looked around the restaurant until she spotted Soarin with Clear Skies.
"Name." The lady asked.
"Carmen de Leis and Kareen Musleir, ma'am," Blitz replied. The lady searched through her computer until she found their 'names.'
"Ah, there you are." She grabbed two menus from a slot and motioned them to follow her. She picked for them seats that were three tables away from Soarin' and Clear Skies. Skies seemed to be looking for someone, while Soarin was on his phone.
"Ugh, what are they doing?" Dash asked not expecting an answer.
"Go over there and try to find out," Blitz answered, bobbing his head to the side so she would move over there. Rainbow slowly slid out of her seat, making sure that neither of them saw her. She kneeled down and crawled over to the booth behind them without anyone noticing. Shahid behind it, trying to listen to their conversation.
"She should be here by now, right?" she heard Skies ask.
"I told her to come. Maybe she decided not to," Soarin' said.
Is he talking about me? she wondered.
"I'll text her again. If she doesn't respond, we'll just go somewhere else," Soarin said. Rainbow looked at Blitz and motioned for him to come over to the booth. He sneaked into it as well.
"Blitz, I think they're talking about me," Rainbow whispered. Blitz smiled.
"Maybe you misunderstood it. C'mon," he got up and tried to pull Rainbow up as well.
"Blitz, what are you—" he picked her up and put her down, forcing her over to the next booth.
"She's all yours, Soarin'. C'mon Skies. Let's get out of here," Blitz said,
"Huh?" Rainbow was highly confused of what just happened. But next thing she knew, Clear Skies got up, grabbed her brother's hand, and they both walked out of the restaurant together. She looked back at Soarin'.
"Care to sit?" He asked.
She scooted herself over to the seat across from Soarin's and sat down.
