Chapter 2: Color Wands
Thorne goes into town, flapping his wings with ease as ponies walked below, enjoying their day. Spotting the place he was looking for, he swoops down and lands his feet softly to the ground. The place he arrived at was...Carousel Boutique.
Casually, he walks to the door and knocks on it.
“Come in!” Rarity said.
Thorne walks in and sees Rarity. From the looks of it, she was making a green maiden dress. Her red glasses and eyes really focused on her work.
“Rarity, I need your help,” Thorne said.
“In a minute, Thorne,” Rarity said, “I’m putting the finishing touches on Fluttershy’s birthday outfit.”
Rarity finishes by putting a small, pink flower on the headband of the dress.
“And, done,” she says, before turning her attention to Thorne, “Now then, why have you come to see me while I was working on my gift for Fluttershy?”
“That’s what I want to talk to you about! I need some materials to make a dress for Fluttershy!” Thorne exclaims.
“Thorne? Do you even know how to make a dress?” she asks with a raised eyebrow.
“Of course. I took a sewing class back in Tambelon. A true knight must embroider symbols that reveals what he’s a part of.”
“What kind of dress do you have in mind for Fluttershy?”
“You know that fairy tale that Megan told the CMC and their class last week?”
“The Cloak of Many Furs?”
“Yay. In it, a princess receives the cloak and three dresses from an unworthy suitor. One dress was made of gold that shone like the sun; one dress was made of silver that glowed like the moon; and one dress was made of stardust. I want to make Fluttershy a gold dress that will show her radiant beauty. I can picture it now…”
Thorne daydreams about him and Fluttershy at her party.

“Fluttershy will open her gift...”
Fluttershy gently opens up the yellow-wrapped box with a red bow on it that says “To: Fluttershy. From: Thorne”. As she did, Thorne knelt down across from her and the box.
When she looks inside, she is astonished beyond anything. It was a beautiful golden ball gown!
“...and be so amazed by it, she will kiss me in front of everyone...”
Amazed by her friend’s gift, she kisses Thorne right on the lips. The two of them intensify it to where they felt like it was the best thing in the world.
****
“She will wear that dress as we go to events, from the Summer Sun Celebration ...”
Thorne and Fluttershy are together amongst a crowd as they watch Celestia raise the sun.
****
“...to the Grand Galloping Gala.”
Fluttershy and Thorne are at the Grand Galloping Gala, dancing in the air above all of the Canterlot nobles.
****
“She will even wear that gold dress on our wedding day as her bridal gown!”
Celestia announces the two imaginary lovers husband and wife. They kiss when it was at last declared so.
****
Thorne daydreaming is interrupted when he blushes at the thought of the whole wedding day part. Rarity meanwhile just rolled her eyes upon what his dream talk.
“Thorne’s mind has officially flown out of its belfry,” she mumbled, “Well, lucky for you, I recently received something that makes the color of the dress easy to put on.”
Rarity takes out a stack of wands.
“Wands?” Thorne scratches his head.
“Not just any wands, my friend. Color wands,” Rarity said, “I got these from a friend in Manehattan. All you have to do is call the color you want and tap it on the clothing. Observe,”
Using her telekinesis, Rarity takes her color wand to a nearby white dress.
“Pink!” she said.
She tapped the dress, and it turned pink, amazing Thorne to where his mouth went agape.
“Woaaah!” Thorne exclaims, “I’ll get started right now and be out of your way, Rarity.”
“Well just so you’d know, Megan’s in the other room, making the stardust dress,” Rarity said as she opened the door.
And Thorne could see Rarity was right. Megan was putting the finishing touches on her dress for Fluttershy. When she heard the door open, she turns to find not only Rarity, but also Thorne.
“Hi Thorne,” Megan said.
Thorne chuckled, “Hey Megan. I guess we both have the same idea, except my dress will be gold.”
“So I’ve heard. I just need to use my color wand, and then Rarity and I are gonna find gift wrap for it.”
Picking up the color wand next to her on the ground, Megan takes it, and gently taps the dress with it.
“Stardust!”
The dress magically transformed into a dress covered in stardust. It even shined like stardust too.
Thorne couldn’t help but feel amazed with how Megan’s dress came out as Rarity walked right next to her.
“Fluttershy will love it, Megan.” Rarity congratulates.
