Applejack stood on the round circle, letting Rarity inspect her work. Applejack just rolled her eyes when she looked over at the clock, realizing she had been standing there for twenty minutes already.
"What in tarnation are ya still examining Rarity, you've been lookin me over for twenty minutes now," she said to her, agitation being expressed in her words.
"Alright darling, you can step down now," Rarity replied, taking off her glasses and placing them on the table. "I was just making sure everything was perfect for you, since making a dress to go with that hat isn't easy."
Applejack stepped off the circle and looked in the mirror, admiring the girls work. "I will say though Rarity, you outdid yourself this time."
Rarity joined her by the mirror. "Oh don't be so modest Applejack, I try to make everyone look there best."
"Where's your dress?" AJ asked.
"I'll go get it," she said, walking away from the mirror and toward her room. Applejack looked back in the mirror and admired her work. Before they went to the dance, Rarity had Applejack come over to let her look at her dress one last time, even though Applejack wasn't sure what she could've done right on the day of the dance. Even though Applejack wasn't big on dresses, she did like the one she was currently wearing. Truth be told, it did go with her cowboy hat, somehow. As the next hour was closing in, AJ heard Rarity returning. When she turned around to say something, her words got stuck in her throat. Rarity looked beautiful, absolutely stunning, and Applejack was definitely stunned.
"What do you think?" Rarity asked, twirling in her spot.
"...you look amazing," Applejack finally spoke, earning a giggle from Rarity.
"I can always rely on you to be honest Applejack," she said, walking over to grab her purse.
"Hehe, yeah..." Applejack stated, but she truly did mean it, Rarity looked amazing tonight, better than she ever had before.
"Are you ready darling?" Rarity asked, snapping AJ out of her thinking state.
"Yes, I'm ready," she replied, following Rarity out of her house. She climbed into the passenger seat of the car, and just sat back as Rarity drove down the road. When they arrived at the school, they both could tell that the party had just started, since there were few cars in the parking lot. The name guy took their names and let them in, letting them both walk down the halls.
"I can't wait to see how all the girls dresses will look when we're all together," Rarity happily explained to AJ.
"If you made them, I'm sure they'll look amazing," AJ stated to her, earning another giggle from Rarity.
After establishing their standing spot in the room, it didn't take long for Pinkie and Rainbow to find them at the same time. Then Fluttershy joined them, along with the two Twilights.
"I can't thank you enough for this dress Rarity," Twi, the human Twilight, said to her.
"Think nothing of it darling, I want everyone to be able to look their best on nights such as these," Rarity replied. At that moment, Sunset joined up with them, and not long after that, the Dazzlings joined, each of them wearing Rarity's crowning achievements, since making dresses for their figures wasn't as easy as the others. Each of them complimented on her work, while Rarity tried maintaining her generous nature and not let it go straight to her head.
When the slow romantic music began to play, Applejack turned to Rarity, rubbing the back of her head as she did it. "Rarity, would you like to dance?"
Rarity placed a hand over her mouth as she giggled, before excepting Applejack's hand. "I'd love to darling."
The two of them walked out onto the dance floor, and moved into their dancing positions. As they moved back and forth to the music, Applejack was once again stunned by just how ravishing Rarity looked this evening.
"Applejack?" Rarity asked, snapping her back into the present. "You've been awfully distracted today, is something bothering you?"
"Nothings bothering me...I've just been admiring how gorgeous you look tonight..." AJ replied with a small blush.
"Oh Applejack, there's no need to be overly nice," Rarity stated to her.
"It's true though, you look amazing."
Rarity gripped AJ's hand as they continued to dance. "You really think so?"
"I do, you look absolutely stunning tonight...although to be honest, you always look amazing."
Now Rarity had a small blush on her face, as well as a smile. "Thank you Applejack. I think you look lovely tonight as well."
AJ squeezed her hand and slowly pulled her closer, the two of them looking into each others eyes as they danced, blushing as they did so. Then the two of them moved in for a loving kiss, stopping their movement to do so. As everyone else danced around them, they stood and shared their love. Almost a full minute goes by before they pull away, and go back to dancing. Each of them knew how the other felt, and they didn't need words to express that. They just swayed back and forth, enjoying the presence of each other.
