An Episode of a Flutter’s Party: 1
.
Even if I knew Fluttershy to worry before, but the situation never do let up; this had started to bother me, how could she be happy, if she is constantly worrying and scared all the time. Sorry, but I do need to see my friends happy and smile.
After reading a few books, the next idea came up; what if I could ask Rarity to create one of these Voodoo suits? She is after all working wonders in crafting suits, we all knew that already.
My idea fell upon a suit looking like Twilight Sparkle, she doesn’t seem scared enough to get in the way of what she had before her. then, all we need is the doll to go with the trick. I am not going into any of the dark stuff they enjoy making jokes of on the television, but just the fun parts. Maybe I am misinterpreting things, but that will be for later.
.
As expected, rarity had agreed to make the suit for our common friend Fluttershy. She had even taken it with her to school, the following day. I guess she had all the measurements she needed, including a set of photos of Twilight Sparkle in order to make the image a perfect match.
Since it just so happen to be on a Friday, we confronted her with the idea; offering her to wear the suit. She was worried and scared, just as usual; thankfully not more than she used to be, busy with her usual fears as she is.
Maybe she would have run, had we explained the actual origin of my idea? Yet, explaining how the suit is going to be a fun costume she could wear for an upcoming play or a masquerade was actually calming her down.
.
“If you slip into the suit tonight, you will feel like a new girl by tomorrow!” I had promised her.
“All you need to do, is to wear it nude!” Rarity offered generously.
“I guess I could try that over the night, and it is after all Friday; none will see me until Monday morning?” she inquired.
“That is the idea of the weekend, you have two extra days to yourself; you can do what you please!” I explained.
“Naturally, I and Pinkie Pie will be by your side in order to keep you company. Nothing will go wrong, I crafted the suit myself!” Rarity explained.
“If you are both here, and promise to help me with anything and everything; then I guess I can try it overnight!” she responded.
.
I was watching as Fluttershy slipped out of her every day suit she had been wearing all day, not that I had been staring at her or anything. Rarity is in the other room.
Once Fluttershy had arranged her clothes in a neat pile, she unzipped the full body suit and stepped into it, right and left foot. I helped her with the suit as she slipped her right and left hand in, before she pulled the hood over her head. Then I helped her to zip the suit tightly, by pulling the sipper all the way up to her neck with my right hand, and managing the hair with my left hand.
“How does it feel?” Rarity inquired, as she entered the room; knowing Fluttershy had been properly dressed up, once more.
“I love the fine fabric, it gives me a luxurious feeling; making me feel more special than I am used to. The hooves doesn’t really bother me, even if the horn is a curious detail and effect to your design, Rarity. Otherwise, I imagine this is exactly how our friend Twilight Sparkle would have been looking!” Fluttershy explained.
“If Twilly was to come over by tomorrow, she would think she was looking at her own reflection!” I prompted as a poor joke.
“That is exactly what I was afraid of, but I doubt she would come over on such a short notice; and just because the two of you are trying to help me feel more confident in myself!” she responded.
“Just to be on the safe side, I had prepared a small selection of regular outdoor clothes for you!” Rarity explained,, confidently and with her usual generosity.
“I know you will find the clothes when you need them!” I promised her.
.
“I think I will go to bed now, if you don’t mind?” Fluttershy inquired in her usual shy manner.
“Not at all, Darling; we know you need your sleep, Fluttershy!” Rarity responded.
“Don’t worry about us, we will make it through the night safely. If you like; we could even have your breakfast prepared for you, when you wake up!” I offered.
“I guess I could enjoy that, Pinkie Pie. I rarely have the luxury of a prepared meal for myself, I just prepare them for my pets, like Angel bunny!” she responded, trying to cover up a yawn of sleepiness.
With that, Fluttershy withdrew, and we left her to sleep. She slipped in under her quilt; and promptly fell asleep, as her head touched the pillow.
.
As I hear the sound of our sleeping friend, I pull out the little doll from my pocked; looking at the likeness of our other friend from out of town, as Flash Sentry had put it. The likeness is stunning, but that is the entire point; if it had not been sufficiently alike the target, this could never have worked in the first place. If it doesn’t work; it could have been a pointless prank on my part, and one with no purpose; something I have no interest in.
Rarity picked up a small brush and a set of polishes, prepared according to what the book had told me; from the instructions I had passed on to Rarity.
Once we have everything set up; Rarity carefully coated the little figurine, with the likeness of our friend Twilight Sparkle. I could see her carefully applying the mate, clear polish all over the doll, bit by bit; as if she had been given Fluttershy a massage and not merely been painting a small pointless doll of worthless plastic.
.
What neither Rarity, not Fluttershy had been aware of; is that when Rarity was polishing up the Voodoo doll, the suit Fluttershy is wearing changed, as the seams on the suit smoothed up and vanished; the fabric turned into a Pony hide, as opposed to the mere fabric Rarity had been using as she was fashioning the suit for Fluttershy.
