In the mare's dressing room at a department store, Shining Armor sat in a seat,very twitchy, silently praying that none of his friends were here to see him. Usually when his mother dragged him shopping, he'd get bored out of his mind the instinct he'd walk into the store. However, he was much too nervous to even think of being bored, keep glancing at the clock on the wall to his phone. Twilight texted him earlier, telling him she'd call when she was ready, and not a second before. And to interfere with Twilights schedule is like taking Celestia's cake away, a suicide mission. So as he sat impatiently, waiting for the call, the sound of curtains moving made him jump. He turned around to see his mom in a aqua blue dress, Shining had to admit she'd look pretty good.
"No, that's not it." Shining replied quickly, causing Velvet to huff in annoyance.
'I don't know why you're making me do this, Shining. I mean, when do I ever dress this fancy anyways?" Before he could respond, an employee walked in.
"So how are you two doing in here?" Velvet opened her mouth to respond but Shining beat her to it.
"Great, but we need to keep looking." he replied, shoving Velvet into the dressing room with more outfits.
"Oh!" said Velvet in surprise as she was forcefully shoved in. The employee, choosing to ignore the shove, smiled politely to the teenage stallion.
"Well, we certainly have plenty of dresses for you to try on." she said. Shining gave a polite smile of his own.
"And we have plenty of time." he chirped. In the dressing room, Velvet groaned in frustration, never thinking this is how her anniversary would be like.
"Shining Armor!"
