Noon


Thanks to Fluttershy's help in sewing, Rarity managed to get the dozen of each of her and her friends' Gala dresses sent to Hoity Toity by Tuesday. Rarity was simply relieved that the whole ordeal with her friends' dresses are done, and now she can finally get working on Silver's outfit. She felt bad for making the young stallion wait weeks to get his outfit started, but he was glad he was patient.

After taking two days off to get her mind cleared from the dresses, she finally gets around to having Silver come over and have his measurements taken, surprised to see a pony this young with a build like this.

Silver comes over as he pulls out his design sketch from his hood.

"Now Rarity, I took it upon myself to make a design sketch for you as I really needed to show you how I want this made. Now, forgive me if it isn't as good as your design sketches, but I did the best I could." Silver said as he unrolls the parchment.

"Oh my word! You designed this?" Rarity asked as she looked over the design.

Silver nods.

"Took me an hour. Why I didn't come over immediately after getting off the train." Silver replied, rubbing the back of his head.

"I must say Silver. Whatever inspiration you got from this design, it must've been a real inspiring one." Rarity replied back.

"You have no idea..." Silver thought.

After discussing the materials needed for the attire, since leather isn't normally found in Equestria for obvious reasons, they had to settle with an alternative sort of fabric that had a similar texture and consistency of leather and have it dyed the green color Silver wanted it to be.

Rarity knew this would be a more challenging design all things considered, but after what occurred the past few weeks, she would do her best to make sure this design Silver made becomes reality.

A week passed since Rarity started working on the outfit, and it was finally completed. It might've been more challenging than working on the same five dresses for her friends twelve times over, but this was a welcoming change of pace. When Silver came to see the outfit, he was just in awe, and only said one word.

"...Excellent."

Rarity was very pleased that Silver liked his outfit, and was eager to see it filled. They invited the girls over as they were just as eager to see what sort of attire Silver would present himself with at the Gala. Rarity stood on the modeling stage as her friends stood the front.

"Thank you for coming girls. Now, after the past couple weeks, I can safely say that this attire that I created for our dear Silver Guardian was more of challenge than working on each of our dresses a dozen times over." Rarity chuckled.

The girls giggled.

"But my friends, the wait is finally over. The time is now to see our dear gentlecolt, in what we decided to dub..."

The lights turned off and covered the windows as the stage glows bright.

"The Viridian Mage!" Rarity announced, as with the fashion show two weeks prior.

It shows a large, vast field, as a dark silhouette of a pony, wearing what looked to be a robe and a hat. The pony then takes his blade out and does several hard slashes, that seemed to create a light effect each time he slashed. He then manages to twirl his blade around with his hoof before planting it on the ground. He moves past it as he turns to face the group, looking down to the side. The dark sky that surrounded the field soon becomes brighter and the sun shines through, revealing Silver, grinning as he wore a green cap with a feather on the side, and the base having silver plating around it with a blue diamond embedded in the plating. His garments looked to be as thick as leather, dyed a dark forest green with silver linings where made available. The clasp he used for his cloak was now acting like an ascot for the collar of his robe, and seems to be wearing gray leggings and a pair of brown boots on his hind hooves. He also had large pouches on each flank side with a small symbol that represented his cutie mark.

He then silently tips his hat up, grinning, before looking to the side, his cap covering the right side of his face.

The stage then reappears as normal as Silver holds his pose there.

The group then clapped their hooves and cheered.

"That was AMAZING!~" Pinkie squealed loudly in excitement.

"Yeah, that was pretty AWESOME, dude!" Rainbow Dash complimented.

"Oh my... you look more handsome..." Fluttershy said shyly as she hid her blush.

"Yer lookin' mighty spiffy there, Silver! That'll certainly turn some heads at the Gala." Applejack chuckled.

"I agree with Applejack. This is a really unique look for you, Silver. I'm not sure I seen anything like it." Twilight added in.

"Heh, thanks girls. Glad you love this." Silver said, relaxing with a soft grin.

"And I have Rarity to thank for it." He motioned to the white mare, who just giggles.

"Well it was my pleasure Silver darling.~" Rarity replied.

"So, where did you get the idea for this sort of attire, Silver?" Twilight asked.

Silver thought about it. And he just smiled and shrugs.

"Let's just say... it came to me in a dream."
