Rarity had felt quite curious about what she had gotten herself into as she worked through the day to fulfill the order that Nish Pony had given her.
"Silk tie..." she said while finishing the formal accessory. "Now for the 'Minky Knee-High Socks'."
***
The white Unicorn continued about her work while also feeling very unsure if this was really something that would be of genuine benefit to her career. There was also the concern she had for Spike based on the particular items that Nish Pony had asked be made for him to model in as well.
"This all seems so odd...," she thought. "I mean, I do love a challenge and showing I'm more than the proverbial 'One Trick, Fashion Pony', but some of this just seems awkward.
***
Rarity rested a bit uneasy upon finishing up all Nish Pony had requested. However, she was being paid well. She was also getting a chance to be on the threshold of the latest in Equestrian Fashion. It just seemed very strange that she had to make what she had to make.
***
As the sun rose the next day, Rarity found herself quickly greeted at her front door by Nish Pony, Quacky Pants, and Spike.
"Is all in order for our fabulous day?" asked the orange Unicorn.
"All to order," Rarity replied with a nervous chuckle.
"I showed them all around town!" Spike proudly proclaimed. "I even gave me them some great ideas for where to shoot the photos of me and Quacky Pants showing off your amazing styles!"
"Oh," gasped Rarity. "That's... that's wonderful, Spikey-Boo."
"So let us be off!" proclaimed Nish Pony while he adjusted his rose-tinted glasses. "We have a glorious sunrise to take advantage of!"
Quacky Pants, Spike, and the fashion-focused, orange Unicorn trotted off with the box of items Rarity had prepared.
"Would you like to come along?" Spike asked Rarity.
Rarity blushed.
"Sure, darling," she replied. "I had every intention on coming along."
***
The first stop was on a tall hill near the edge of a cliff. There was a tree very close to the cliff's edge and the sun was positioned just slightly above the apex of the hilltop.
"Yes!" cheered Nish Pony. "Now for the shimmering bangles, anklets, and bandanna!"
Rarity helped open the box of garments while the fashion pony used his magic to pick out all the accessories he needed for his first picture of the day.
"These are far more divine than I expected!" announced Nish Pony. "You truly are a most divine fashionista!"
Spike smiled upon hearing his white-coated crush get such a glowing compliment.
"That's why Rarity is the best there ever is when it comes to fashion and style!" he cheered.
***
Quacky Pants put on the shimmering accessories as Nish Pony prepared his camera.
"Now!" proclaimed Nish Pony. "Move by the tree and take some hoof steps until you can really feel that sun on your bum!"
Quacky Pants complied.
"Like this?" he asked.
"Just a few more steps to the right," stated Nish
"Here?" asked Quacky.
"Perfect!" cried the photographer. "Now get up on your haunches, spread those back legs, and let the sun shine through!"
Spike and Rarity watched as Quacky Pants posed in a way that made it appear that the sun was beaming between his legs. It certainly made Quacky's special pony parts quite visible with only the shimmer of the bandanna, bangles, and anklets adding any additional luster.
"Raise your tail!" exclaimed Nish. "Let that sun kiss those bits!"
***
Spike and Rarity watched with gaping jaws as Nish Pony went about taking a series of images that, for all they could tell, were more about showing off Quacky pants privates than Rarity's fashions.
"Rarity...?" asked Spike.
The white pony put her hoof over Spike's eyes.
"Perhaps this is a warm up?" she asked. "However, it is a bit too lude for you to see."
"I don't understand," said Spike. "Didn't you say this Nish Pony was an up-and-coming fashion star in Equestria?"
Rarity blushed deep as she watched Quacky Pants stallion parts continue to get the most attention while she ensured Spike's eyes were covered.
"Perhaps you shouldn't take part in this photo shoot anymore?" she suggested. "I'm sure Twilight could always use a hoof with, uh, something."
"No way!" proclaimed Spike. "I'm here for you, Rarity."
"I was afraid he'd say that," she thought.
***
Once Nish Pony had finished getting all the shots he needed. Quacky Pants took off all the garments and jewelery and placed them in a saddlebag.
"The glory of a new day!" cheered Nish. "It is the combination of wild stallion and fashion with nature that just makes my body explode with inspiration!"
"So, uh...?" asked Rarity. "Where are we off to next?"
"Sugar Cube Corner," stated Quacky Pants. "It's Nish's vision to show the everyday in a fabulous way."
"Right," stated the orange Unicorn as he finished packing his camera and patted his model on the flank. "Let's eat and be stylish."
***
Upon reaching Sugar cube Corner, the group was pleased to see Mr. and Mrs. Cake welcoming in the day's first customers.
"Now," said Nish. "I shall need the blue vest and silk tie."
Rarity felt nervous as she got out the next two items for the renowned photographer. If he did anything like he did up on the cliff it'd not only be inappropriate, but also be in a place where every pony would know she was associated with such a lude act.
"Here you go," she said.
"Ooh!" awed Nish. "Could you get out the sunhat, too, Ms. Rarity? I've got a totally fabulous idea to make this shot over-the-top!"
Rarity got out the sunhat, which featured a lot of pastel-colored flowers.
"What's your idea?" she asked with as little hesitation as possible.
"You, Ms. Rarity!" he replied gleefully. "You and Quacky Pants are going to be in this picture together!"
Rarity gasped.
"Awesome!" cheered Spike. "I'm sure you being in a picture with a famous model will definitely get you all sorts of great publicity!"
"Yeah," Rarity nervously chuckled. "No doubt."
The four then made their way into Sugar Cube Corner to begin the second series of photos for the day.
