EPISODE FOUR
Nikki was standing in the middle of a flowery field, and she could hear the sound of someone reciting a poem…
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
At the end of the field, Nikki could see him… Lightning Dawn, the hunkiest teacher she had ever known. He looked right at her and winked lovingly, making her feel all squishy inside.
Lightning casually approached her in a soft and slow passion, and he reached her, looking her deeply in the eyes…!
“…Nikki!” he snapped, waking her from her daydream! The students all laughed at her. “Have you been paying attention at all? This poem of Flanders Field is on your final history exam.”
“Oh, is that all?” Nikki said fluttering her eyes at him. The students couldn’t help but giggle at how cute it seemed, but Lightning was frustrated and embarrassed.
In a split second, he threw out into the hall, “Go to the Principal’s office! I don’t want you disrupting my class again!”
“Wouldn’t you rather give me detention instead…?” Nikki asked sweetly, but Lightning saw straight through her as another one of her attempts to be alone with him, and he just shut the door as he went back inside.
“Poor Lightning...” Sunset whispered to Rainbow “He’s got trouble, all right, and not in a good way.” Rainbow agreed.
Amber and Dionne were worried about Nikki and the way she fawned all over Lightning like that, and still thought she was in way over her head.
As Nikki sat in the office waiting for her hearing from Principal Cadance, she couldn’t help but scribble on her notebook a poor drawing of Lightning’s face, with hearts all around it.
A nerdy kid, who sat beside her peeked over her shoulder, which grossed her out, “Get away, Dweebo!” she snapped. The poor nerd felt hurt, but he was soon called in to see Principal Cadance about a few proposals for the school.
As he walked past the big bulletin board, Nikki noticed a poster on the board telling of the upcoming fashion show on Friday afternoon. It was an annual event in which Canterlot High often held in May near the end of the year, and all students were allowed to participate.
This gave Nikki an idea of how to get Lightning to notice her in a whole new way.
(Que Intro)
Class was out for break period, and Lightning walked down the halls. “Nikki is driving me crazy!” he groaned “She’s left me six love notes, in two days.”
“Whoo-hoo…” Rainbow teased “Someone’s hot for you lover-boy.”
Sunset and Twilight couldn’t help but snicker, but Lightning didn’t think it was so funny. “I never had this kind of trouble at Crystal Prep Academy. Just the same, I’ll be glad when term is over and I won’t have to put up with all this anymore.
I’ll catch you guys later, I have a faculty meeting.”
He walked down the hall just passing the boys and Fluttershy as they came round the corner, and they didn’t fail to notice he seemed a little frazzled. “What’s wrong with him?” Buddy asked, but the girls gave him a straight look telling him, “Nikki again. Dang…!”
“Oh, how sweet.” Fluttershy said.
Even Rhymey couldn’t help but admire the cuteness, as well as Nikki’s determination.
“Well, Lightning’s not interested, that much we know.
I think it’s time we all concentrate on the fashion show.”
He held up the poster.
“Yeah, remind me why we’re doing this again?” asked Rainbow. “It’s to honor Rarity.” replied Twilight “She loved the annual fashion show, and always worked her best. Even I enjoyed modeling for her.”
Sunset nodded, “We’re doing it so we can send our hopes and messages to all the people in hospital. Even our friends...”
The friends all took a moment of silence, thinking about their friends in the hospital. Sunset remembered working on her volunteer job. None them seemed to be any better yet, and she didn’t know how much more she could take.
“You okay?” asked Fluttershy.
Sunset took a deep breath, “I’m okay. Let’s get to the sewing room.”
Meanwhile, outside, across the street from the school, Marla noticed a poster on a lamppost about the Canterlot High Fashion Show. “Ahh, this takes me back… back to when I reigned supreme on the fashion-walk.”
She went into a deep daze as she dreamt of her glory times before turning to crime and getting locked up by Starfleet.
“Marla!” Nacluv snapped, knocking Marla out of her trance in a shock, “Oh, Master…”
“You told me you have a plan to beat the rangers, and here I find you slacking off…?”
“Oh, but I do have a plan, sir…” said Marla, and she introduced him to her companion, Stitchlana; a seamstress monster. With a large spool of red thread for her head, multicolored fabric stitched all over her body and she spoke with a Russian accent.
“I not fail you, Nacluvich. I will be beating the rangers!”
Marla explained the plan, “She’s made special clothing for the rangers to wear, and once they put them on they won’t be able to remove them.”
Nacluv blinked once, “And how does that even help us beat them?”
“My clothes not just stick to rangers’ bodies…” replied Stitchlana, “They will be coming under my control.”
“Ah, I see…” hissed Nacluv “And we make them destroy each other. Very interesting...”
Marla and Stitchlana grinned at one another.
“You may proceed, but don’t mess this up!” Nacluv threatened, and then he vanished--teleported back to the tower. “Ooh, that little shrimp!” grumbled Marla. It felt so insulting for her to being bossed around by a guy half her own height, yet just as dangerous.
“Never you be minding.” said Stichlana “…We have plan to do.” She cackled wickedly and began to work her wicked magic before Marla’s eyes.
Marla snickered softly, “Careful, Rangers. You’re in for the fashion show of your lives!”
At the sewing room, lots of students were already preparing for the show. Boys and Girls were modeling in the outfits made, and some of the boys whistled at how hot some of the girls looked in swim-suits… much to the girls’ disgusts.
“Perverts…!”
“Pigs…!”
The rangers and Twilight were all disgusted by the way some of the boys were behaving, but they had no time to worry about that now. They were all struggling with the sewing and making of outfits.
“Ouch!” groaned Sunset “Watch the needles, Fluttershy!”
“Oh, sorry…!”
The boys scrounged through the fabrics and couldn’t figure out the best ones to make for their own designs.
And Rainbow, she couldn’t work the sewing machine worth beans, and accidently ended up sewing random fabrics together in a weird combination. “Ugh! How did Rarity do this?” she groaned.
Even didn’t have the answer to solve this problem, “I know the basic functions of a sewing machine, but I’ve never actually sewn before.”
Buddy sighed, “What were we thinking before we got into this?”
Before anyone could answer, there was a knock at the classroom door, and a mover lady came in pushing a large rack full of beautifully designed clothes. “Pardon me…” the lady asked in a Russian accent “I am having delivery here for classroom from Carousel Boutique.”
The rangers felt confused. They knew that Carousel Boutique was Rarity’s family business, and that Rarity usually had dresses and outfits sent all the time.
“How could Rarity have sent it this time? She’s in a coma.” said Fluttershy.
Twilight looked at the clipboard and saw it was already signed and approved of by Principal Cadance, and the signature was not forged. She knew her sister-in-law’s handwriting.
“Thank you, we can take it from here.”
The lady nodded and scurried off, but little did Twilight or the others realize was she was actually Stichlana in disguise!
The creature’s human eyes glowed red and she grinned wickedly, “In few moments, rangers will be wailing on each other.”
The rack was full of all kinds of beautiful outfits that the students went crazy over, but there were plenty for all the models to try.
“I still think it’s strange for Rarity’s store to send us all this when Rarity’s not even here.” said Fluttershy.
“Ah, never mind that…” Rainbow said “Check this out…!” and she came out from behind a curtain wearing a punk biker’s outfit, complete with leather vest, hat and matching boots.
“Whoa, wicked!” said Buddy.
Rainbow stared in front of the mirror and did some cool poses while admiring her reflection.
Rhymey tried on a special cape with sleeves,
“Mmm, I think this is slick and sly.
What do you think, Fluttershy?”
Sunset tried on a frilly looking fedora hat and sunglasses. She began to act like a well-classed woman, “I say… I feel just like a duchess at a gala.”
The others chuckled, but Rainbow suddenly slapped Sunset across the face. “Hey! What was that for!” she thundered.
Rainbow was confused herself, “I… uh… I didn’t do that.”
Then Rhymey stepped up and stomped on her foot. “OW! What gives!” she shouted.
Rhymey couldn’t believe it himself,
“All of sudden I felt a big rush,
My foot rose and gave yours a crush.”
Sunset suddenly began to quiver, and she felt this strange rush, and tackled the others to floor, wailing on them, forcing them to retaliate.
“Guys cut it out!” shouted Buddy.
“Please, why are you fighting?!” cried Fluttershy.
“Wait, look…!” snapped Twilight, she motioned at the other students who tried on the clothes that were brought in, and they were all behaving the same hostile way; fighting and attacking one-another, but not really doing it out of free-will.
“Help me!”
“I can’t control myself!”
Twilight grabbed her alien scanner out from her backpack and looked through it. “Their voluntary muscles are out of whack. It’s like they’re being controlled by something strange.”
“It’s got to be the clothes.” said Buddy, “When they put them on, that’s when they started acting weird.” He called to the others, “…Guys, take those clothes off!”
The others still had their normal will to listen and understand, they suddenly found that clothes would not come off.
“They’re stuck!” Sunset cried as she pulled on her hat. Rainbow couldn’t seem to lift her vest off an inch, and Rhymey couldn’t get his cape off either. Worse than that, they all began to wail on each other even more, as well as the other students.
Vice Principal Luna was passing by and heard the commotion in the sewing room. “What is going on here?!” she demanded to know, but when she saw all the students going crazy, she was shocked, and she would have tried to break them up, but Buddy, Fluttershy and Twilight ushered her out into the hall and locked the door on their way out.
“This school does not tolerate such behaviour!” said Luna.
“It’s not their fault.” Twilight said, trying to defend the other students, “It’s those clothes, they’re making them lose control of their nerves.”
All of this seemed too strange and nasty to everyone. Buddy clenched his fists, “I’m betting this has “Nacluv” written all over it.”
The others agreed, and suddenly Fluttershy looked down the hall, “There’s that lady who gave us the clothes.”
Stichlana saw them and ran for it.
“Let’s get her!” shouted Buddy, and he and Fluttershy took off. “Hey, wait for me!” cried Twilight, and she ran after them.
Normally, Luna didn’t approve of running in the halls, but this was a full-thread emergency, but all she could do was stay behind and look through the door window at the students still wailing on one another.
“I had better call Celesto.” she said to herself and got out her cell-phone.
The two rangers and Twilight dashed all through the school chasing Stitchlana all over the place, and eventually cornered her outside, where Marla and a load of Lingos were waiting for them. “Surprise-Surprise…!” Marla teased
“I knew it!” snapped Buddy.
“You’re the ones who messed up our friends!” added Fluttershy
Stitchlana snickered and magically dissolved her disguise revealing her true form. “I am being surprised you did not try clothes on. No matter! We crush you anyhow!”
“My thoughts exactly.” hissed Marla, and the Lingos all stood ready for a brawl.
Buddy and Fluttershy nodded at one another. Twilight then took cover behind the school doors, and then Buddy made the call, “It’s Morphin’ Time!”
“STARFLEET MAGIC… POWER ON!”
“Get them!” shouted Marla, and the Lingos charged forth.
The two rangers made fast work of the Lingos, leaving Marla and Stitchlana exposed, but the monster was ready for this. “You take this!” she shouted, throwing several large sewing needles at the duo that exploded on contact knocking them down.
“You okay, Fluttershy?” Buddy asked.
“I’m okay.”
Stitchlana snickered, “Not for long you won’t be being.” and she unleashed a wave of magical threads at the two rangers, binding them and whirling them round.
When they stopped spinning, Fluttershy was wearing a cute little apron with a bunny on the front, and Buddy was wearing… a frilly pink tutu. “This is so embarrassing…!” he groaned.
Suddenly, he couldn’t control his nerves and lunged at Fluttershy, attacking her fiercely. “I… I can’t control myself!” he cried. Fluttershy suddenly began to attack him right back. “I’m sorry, Buddy! I can’t stop!”
“Oh, no!” cried Twilight.
“Oh, yes!” chirped Marla “The rangers are wailing on each other and they can’t control themselves, and soon they’ll destroy each other.”
Buddy and Fluttershy leapt at each other in a high-jump kick, striking each other hard.
Meanwhile, inside the school, Lightning knew nothing of what was going on as he and Cadance exited the Principal’s office. “Lightning, you know you can’t keep dumping Nikki on me every time she flirts with you.”
“Hey, better you endure her company than me.” said Lightning.
The two shared a laugh, but then Lightning’s morpher beeped as Celesto called him. Thankfully, no one was around to see him answer other than Cadance.
“This is Lightning…”
“Lightning…” Celesto called over the radio, we have a serious emergency on our hands. Rendezvous with Twilight and come to the base at once.”
Cadance felt very worried, and suddenly, VP Luna came dashing down the hall. “Cadance…!” she cried “We have much trouble in the sewing room upstairs.”
Cadance decided to check it out while Lightning headed off to meet with Twilight. “What’s going on?” he asked, but he suddenly could see Buddy and Fluttershy fighting each other, with the monsters outside laughing at them.
“The others are fighting each other upstairs in the sewing room.” Twilight said.
Lightning felt deeply concerned, and really wanted to get out there, but he knew what he was told. “Come on, let’s get to the base.”
He and Twilight ran off, and Twilight stopped by the Principal’s office to pickup Spike.
Spike was just about to dig into a full bowl of his favorite dog-kibble, when Twilight scooped him up, “Hey!” he snapped, “Not now, Spike. We’ve got trouble. I can’t leave you alone here and unsupervised.”
Spike could only watch helplessly as his precious dog-bowl got further and further out of his sight. “No!!”
Nevertheless, the trio arrived at the base, and they viewed all the images taken from the school security cameras, the students were still fighting with each other in the sewing room, and Buddy and Fluttershy were still battling each other in the schoolyard.
“A very diabolical plot.” said Celesto, “It seems that the only solution would be to get those clothes off of them.”
“Yeah, but how?” asked Twilight “I saw it with my own eyes. They can’t remove the clothes, it’s like they’re fused on.”
“Well, why not shred the clothes, or burn them?” Spike suggested. “I remember once at Crystal Prep when some mean girls put glue in Twilight’s shoes and she couldn’t get them off.”
Twilight felt really embarrassed remembering that.
“The point is, I had to chew and shred her shoes to bits to get her feet out.”
The humans thought it over, and despite the great risks involved, “It seems to be our only choice.” said Lightning “I just hope we can do it without having to hurt everyone.”
Suddenly, the alarm went off…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=10&v=GWXLPu8Ky9kImages on the screens showed the monster was already causing trouble about the town—latching more of her cursed clothing on the civilians and making them wail on each other just like the students and the other rangers.
“I have no choice. I have to get out there.” said Lightning.
The others agreed with him, but Celesto cautioned him “Be careful, Lightning. If that monster curses you, the city will be completely defenseless.”
“Talk about pressure.” grumbled Lightning. Nevertheless, he dashed for the jump-tubes and was on his way.
“Now we have to figure out how to break those clothes off the others.” said Twilight.
“Like I said, let’s just shred them off.” said Spike.
“Or better yet…” Twilight said suddenly having an idea “We’ll vaporize them off!”
“What are you thinking?” Celesto asked, but Twilight had already dashed off for the labs. Celesto and Spike gawked at once another and then followed her.
Meanwhile, Marla and Stitchlana were rather enjoying themselves seeing all the people, cursed by the clothes, attack each other.
“Marvelous!” cried Marla “Soon the entire city will be at each other’s throats, and then we can proceed to infect the world. It’ll only make it that much easier to takeover.”
“Think again!” shouted a voice.
“WHAT?!” the villains shouted, and that’s when Lightning, fully-morphed, leapt up and over them. “Your little fashion streak ends here!”
“Argh! You!” shouted Marla.
“Where did you be coming from?!” snapped Stitchlana.
“Never mind where I came from and worry where you’re going; Down!”
Lightning lunged and the villains, fighting them two-on-one.
Stitchlana punched and kicked, but Lightning blocked her every attacked and kicked her hard and away.
“Why you…!” Marla shouted, and she extended her long hair, grabbing Lightning by the wrists and began to struggle for control with him. She pulled, he pulled back. “Blast him!” Marla shouted, and Stitchlana threw her explosive needles at him, striking him hard and rolling him along the ground.
“You are slick ranger, but I am being slicker still.” hissed the monster, then she launched her threads to try and ensnare him, but Lightning rolled out of the way just missing them.
“I hope Twilight moves fast!” he said to himself “I could use a little help.”
Back at the lab, Twilight had concocted a special formula of corrosive material, but softened it up with a few alterations so that it would eat against certain types of material, but not harm the human body.
“That should do it.” she said as she added the mixture into a spray-can. “Now, let’s test it.”
She tested it by spraying a simple face cloth on the table. The spray had a lovely scent too, which Twilight had mixed in to cut down on the horrid regular odor. Surely enough the cloth insnatly dissolved into thin air, while the table remained unscathed, “It works!” cried Spike.
Twilight even touched the end of the wet spray-nozzle with her finger. The liquid felt wet to the touch, but she didn’t feel anything. “It’s safe to use.” she concluded.
“Right…” said Celesto “Get the spray to the school, quickly.”
Twilight nodded, and grabbed a couple more spray-cans already prepared, and then she dashed off.
At school, inside the sewing room, the students were still going crazy, and by this time they had been fighting each other so long they were growing extremely exhausted from fighting and defending, and still they couldn’t seem to control their nerves to stop.
“I can’t… take it… anymore!” groaned Rainbow as she aimed a weak punch at Rhymey, which he easily dodged.
“This… cursed… cape vest.
I… need to… get rest!” Rhymey groaned, and he gave Sunset a small shove into a gaggle of mannequins, but because the hat was still attached to her, she bolted right up again onto her feet. “Somehow… we’ve got to… control ourselves!” she groaned.
Help was on the way, as Cadance and Luna stood outside the classroom door armed with cans of Spray given to them by Twilight.
They shook the cans, nodded at one another and then dashed into the room, spraying the air hard. Sure enough, the sweet-smelling mixture dissolved the evil clothing, and unfortunately some of the students’ regular clothing, forcing them to hide behind curtains of quickly put on anything else they could find, but finally they stopped wailing on each other.
The rangers felt so relieved, and their clothes hadn’t dissolved too much.
“Rather an undignified way to save people, but it worked.” said Luna.
“I hope the others are okay too.” wondered Cadance.
At that very moment, Twilight dashed outside to see Buddy and Fluttershy were still fighting, and both of them seemed a little tired.
“Hang on guys!” Twilight called to them as she dashed on up, and sprayed them with her formula dissolving the apron and the tutu. Their ranger suits were unaffected being made of completely special material and polymerized alloys. Still, Buddy and Fluttershy stopped fighting each other.
They were both badly out of breath!
“Twilight…” Buddy said.
“…Thank you so much!” added Fluttershy.
“Thank me later.” said Twilight “Reenergize yourselves and go help Lightning. I’ll send the others to join you.”
The two rangers nodded and touched their morphers, activating the energy boost to restore their strength, and then they went off.
Meanwhile…
“Take this!” Lightning shouted as he blasted at the two villains with his comet gauntlets, making a huge explosion that sent the villains flying high and crashing down hard. “My nails…!” Marla whined “That’s it, you’ve had it, ranger!” and she unleashed he hair in furious locks and bound Lightning tightly.
“Hey, let me go!” he demanded.
The villains snickered at his hopelessness. “Now it’s time you try on new outfit, eh rangervich?” teased Stitchlana.
“No!” shouted Lightning “…I won’t let you!
“Fool, choice is not yours!” snapped Stitchlana, and she fired her threads at him to slab him into an outfit… but suddenly, the other rangers arrived on the scene, and Rhymey, wielding his sword, jumped in and slashed at the threads.
Then Rainbow got out her cannon, “Take some of this!” and she blasted at Marla’s long hair, snapping it and freeing Lightning.
The rangers all regrouped. “You okay, Lightning…?” Sunset said.
“Yeah, thanks for coming, guys.”
Marla shrieked, “MY HAIR!! MY BEAUTIFUL HAIR!! You Rangers will pay for that.”
“Not as much as you will for turning us against one another!” snarled Sunset. The other rangers all agreed as they held out their weapons.
“Oh, really!” thundered Stitchlana, and she fired her explosive needles.
“Not this time!” snapped Fluttershy and she blocked the attack with her shield, allowing the others to dash at her and Marla.
Rhymey with his sword, and Buddy with his whip, struck the two villains, followed by Sunset with her scepter and Rainbow with her cannon, blasting them hard.
“That does it, I’m outta here!” cried Marla, and she teleported away. “Wait, don’t be leaving me here!” cried Stitchlana. “Don’t worry, we still want you.” Sunset teased. “Bring ‘em together guys!”
“Weapons, Combine!”
“Star-Slammer, Ready!”
“This is not being happening!” cried Stichlana, but it was. The rangers already powered up their weapon, but before they could even use it…
Nacluv saw everything from the tower on the monitors. “Not this time, rangers.” and he turned to Keto and nodded at him. Keto agreed and marched straight to the window, “FORTISSMO!” firing his mugic just in time!
The mugic made it to the island and made the monster grow before the rangers could attack her!
“Stichlana is feeling bigger, yes!” she roared.
The rangers gasped, and were outraged they couldn’t get her fast enough.
Lightning stepped forth.
“Comet Striker… Armor up!”
“Summon Armor!”
Lightning grew into a giant and donned his battle-armor.
“Comet Striker… Ready!”
Sunset then called to the base, “Launch Star-Jets!”
The Jets were already on their way and were at the danger site in almost no time and combined.
“Jet-Star Megazord… Ready!”
The two zords gawked at one another and raised their fists in salute.
Stitchlana laughed at them, “Try these on for sizes!” and she unleashed her threads, enwrapping the two zords, and slapping on them a pair of matching overalls. One was Red and the other was Blue.
At once, the zords suddenly turned towards each other, and began to brawl!
“The controls are locked out! It won’t respond!” cried Rainbow.
Lightning tried all he could to resist the pull, but he raised his right arm and punched the megazord hard, sending it back a few steps.
“Oh, guys!” cried Lightning. He really wished he hadn’t done that, but he couldn’t control himself, neither could the others as their megazord drew its sword.
“No! Not the Star Saber!” cried Sunset. She and the others pounded on the controls, but the megazord marched right over to Lightning, whom had, against his will, extended his battle blades.
The two engaged in such a sword fight, the monster laughed and bounced with glee. “This is being more fun than being at circus.”
The two zords slashed at each other hard, and they both fell over. “OOF!” shouted Lightning, and the others were all rocked about in their cockpit.
“We’ve got to try and break out of this suit somehow!” shouted Buddy, and that gave Lightning the idea. “That’s it!” he shouted, remembering that the suit was attached to his armor, but not to himself. “Comet Striker… Armor Down!”
His voice command worked, and his armor glowed brightly and disappeared, effectively destroying the cursed overalls as well.
“What?!” snapped Stitchlana “You can’t do that!”
Lightning ignored her and rejoiced that he was free from the control, but the megazord was now right before him. “Sorry to do this, guys, but it’s the only way.” he called to the others, and he powered up his gauntlets.
“Comet Gauntlets… Engage!”
“Comet Trail… Fire!” and he blasted at the megazord, rocking it so violently and the rangers inside, but in the end, he had disintegrated the cursed overalls, setting the zord free.
“All right, Lightning! We’ve got control!” cried Sunset.
The monster was outraged, “I be breaking you limb-from-limb with my own hands!” and she charged forth growling like a banshee, and threw her explosive needles.
“Okay brat,
You can take that!” shouted Rhymey as he pulled on his controls, making the megazord swings it’s sword, batting the needles right back at Stitchlana. Sparks and explosions burst all over her as she fell and rolled along the ground!
“Okay, Star Saber ready!” shouted Sunset.
“Star Saber, Engage!”
Once the sword was powered up, the rangers shouted, “STAR-SLASH… GO!!” The megazord slashed, and the monster was struck hard. She began to flare up and jolt. “I HAVE POPPED MY STITCHES!!”
KAPOW!! She exploded, was imprisoned in a sphere, and beamed into the cockpit.
“Alright…!” Lightning cheered, “Way to go, guys!”
The others cheered and rejoiced too, and Sunset made the call, “Monster Captured! Mission Complete!”
Back at the prison tower, Marla was in her room, playing around with a whole load of dresses and outfits. “Does this one make me look fat?” she asked at the Lingos, and naturally her henchmen couldn’t make up their minds. “Oh, don’t be spoilsports.”
Nacluv came into the room. “Marla, where did all these come from?” he asked.
“Stitchlana made them all for me before the mission began.” replied Malra “Oh, aren’t they beautiful! Just the ones I used to wear at fashion shows.”
Nacluv took a good look at them, “Yes… I suppose they are beautiful.
It’s almost a shame that I have to do this!”
“Huh?” cried Marla, and she watched horridly as he master used his powers to roast all her beautiful clothes to piles of flaming ash, leaving her with nothing but her normal outfit that she was wearing. “No! My dresses!” she sobbed.
Nacluv snuffed and scolded her, “You should’ve destroyed the rangers. Failures DON’T get rewarded!”
Then he left his disgraced minions to bewail her loss.
Marla was now growing infuriated, not just with the rangers, but Nacluv as well. “Someone is going to pay dearly for this!” she thundered.
A couple days later, after all the drama that had happened, the students managed to rebuild and make more outfits just in time for the fashion show.
Twilight was working back stage, and the five rangers were still going to model while Lightning sat with the adults in the audience. Celesto and Celestia were there, and even brought their babies.
“This is going to be so wonderful.” Celestia said.
“Well, it’s better than just working or staying home all day.” said her husband.
Castor and Leilani shook their rattles almost as if in excitement for the show to start.
Finally, the show was ready to begin, and Twilight’s placed her knapsack down on the table, and went to take her position to move some props in… not realizing that a can of her clothing dissolver fell out of her open bag and onto the table.
The show began, and the rangers were the first ones out, each taking turns, all of them were wearing clothes and outfits they managed to put together from inspiration of the attack, as well as leaving sewing to the professional students... in a team effort.
Fluttershy wore a green strapless dress, with a butterfly mask over her face. The audience loved her, while she was trying hard not to succumb to the butterflies in her stomach.
Rainbow dash came out wearing a punk girl outfit, identical to the cursed one she wore before. Complete with leather vest, hat, boots, and she looked really slick.
Then out came Rhymey and Buddy, dressed in two matching tuxedos with top-hats and tails. Rhymey’s was yellow and Buddy’s was green.
(0:13)
They even performed a small tap-dance to the tune “Tea for Two” to show off their outfits even more, which the crowd thunderously applauded.
The boys slapped each other a high-five.
Then Sunset came out, modeling in a red swim suit, with a yellow flame design at the bottom, and she wore a large fedora hat, and shades making her look like a dashing sun babe.
She threw off her hat and shades and then hopped on a surfboard on stage and pretended to ride the waves as a large fan blew on her to simulate the wind.
Nikki then prepared to take her turn, and she was wearing a very elegant and expensive gown. The top part was black and sparkling, like a night sky, and the dress was large and long that cycled her beautifully and cut off at a V-shape in front of her legs so she could walk. The fabric was white and ruffled with a slight touch of pink at the bottom.
“I can’t wait to get out there and show everyone this little baby.” she said in her mind “This gown cost me a month’s worth of credit card deposit, but at least I can return it when I’m done.”
Then she saw Lightning in the crowd, and she really couldn’t wait to show off in front of him, believing that one good look at the dream she was wearing would make him fall head-over-heels for her.
She began to sweat a little. “Ooh, I need some deodorant.”
Unfortunately, she didn’t have her purse with her, but she did notice a can of spray near Twilight’s backpack. It wasn’t labeled, but being the reckless girl she was, Nikki smelled the lovely scent, “This’ll do…” and she sprayed herself all over.
“Nikki, you’re on!” Twilight snapped at her.
“All right, don’t have a cow!” Nikki snapped back, giving her the can of spray as she went to take her position.
Twilight looked at the spray-can and gasped when she realized what Nikki had obviously done, but it was too late to warn her!
“And now next on the walk…” the announcer called “Ms. Nikki Trent and her design, “Sparkling Night.”
That’s when the curtain opened wide, but instead of admiring and aweing at her, the crowd gasped! Nikki couldn’t understand it, until she looked at herself and realized she was standing on stage… with nothing on but her underwear and her bra!
Humiliated worse than she had ever been before, Nikki screamed and ran off the stage and out of the atrium. Amber and Dionne were also embarrassed in the audience, and then ran off after her.
“Okay, that was unusual.” said Lightning.
The adults agreed and were just as shocked, while backstage, the rangers had a feeling what happened. “Twilight…” Sunset called to her, and Twilight, sheepishly held up her spray-can, “…I tried to warn her.” she said innocently.
Even though Nikki had horribly embarrassed, they all couldn’t help but laugh at the humiliation!
