"So why are we going to Rarity's place again?" Kodi asked as we were walking through the streets of Ponyville.
"Because we need to fix the suit's sleeve after a little someone was busy playing and wouldn't let go." I said, raising a brow at Kodi, who smiled sheepishly. See, this morning, I was woken up by some chewing and became shocked to see Kodiak was busy eating my suit. I tried to pull it away from him but he said that he doesn't know how to do that, and after five minutes of tug of war, the suit's sleeve was ruined. So, that's why we're heading to Rarity's dress shop so that she can fix it.
As me and Kodi finally arrived to Rarity's shop, we saw that Twilight and Applejack had already arrived. Wonder why?
"Hey Rarity! Are you here?" I asked, but Twilight and Applejack shushed me.
"Can't you see she's trying to concentrate?" Twilight whispered. I looked over to see Rarity focusing her magic on some thread and needles, directing the stitch-work of her latest creation.
"Oh, sorry." I said, smiling sheepishly.
"Though, I wonder what she's working on..." Kodi said, tilting his head in confusion.
"Looks like a dress." Twilight suggested.
"Well, that makes sense." Applejack agreed. "Since this is a dressmaker's shop and all."
"Well yeah." I said shrugging my shoulders. "But what's the dress for?"
We heard a grumble as we looked to see Rarity turning around with a forced smile on her face. "Is there something I can help you with?" She asked. I noticed she was wearing red glasses I had never seen her wear before.
"Oh, so very sorry to trouble you, Rarity, but I need a quick favor." Twilight said as she pulled out a dress from her bag and placed it on the table. "Could you please fix the button for me? It's my dress for the Grand Galloping Gala."
Rarity observed it for a sec but let out a gasp. "Oh no-no-no! You can't wear this...old thing. You need a glamorous new outfit for the Gala and I'll make it for you. No problem at all, it would be my pleasure!"
"Oh that's so kind of you to offer, Rarity, but would be so much work!" Twilight politely declined. "This dress is fine."
"Twilight Sparkle, I insist on making you a new dress." Rarity said firmly.
"But-"
"Not another word! I won't take 'no' for an answer."
"Yeah, she's right Twilight!" Kodi said happily. "You can leave it to her, after all, she's wearing glasses which makes her smart!" Rarity blushed upon hearing that comment while I made a soft smile on that claim. I'm going to have tell Kodi that glasses don't make people smart, trust me, I already tried that when I was seven.
"Well...in that case, thank you for your generosity, Rarity." Twilight said as she smiled and continued. "Knowing your handiwork, I know it will be absolutely beautiful!"
Rarity then looked over to me. "Oh, what about you Ren darling? I could've sworn I made you a suit back then." Rarity said with a confuse expression.
"Yeah, about that..." I showed her my suit, which she gasped in shock upon seeing it. "Kodiak started chewing it as soon as I woke up and tried to get it back, but the suit got ripped and...so we came by to see if you can help..." I admitted as Kodi felt bad that he made me mad, but instead, I was just feeling disappointed. Somepon should remind me to train Kodiak.
"Well don't worry old chum." Rarity said in a determined look. "I shall remake your outfit!" I smiled happily at Rarity wanting to help me out.
"Thanks Rarity." I said, which Rarity nodded before looking over at Applejack.
"And let me guess, Applejack. You don't want a new gown either." Rarity said.
"Gown?" Applejack questioned. "Shoot. I was just gonna wear my old work duds." Why am I not surprise that she doesn't like to wear fancy outfits?
"You can't possibly be serious, Applejack! You absolutely must wear formal attire." Rarity exclaimed.
"Hm..." Applejack thought as she placed a hoof to her chin. "Nah."
"Why if I just spruce up your...duds for you a little bit?" Rarity offered.
"Okay, sure. Why not? Since you're up for it and all. Just don't make them too...froufrou-y."
"Deal!" Rarity shook her hoof, agreeing on making Applejack's dress.
"Wait...I don't have a suit." Kodi said.
"Oh right...I guess I could get Rarity to make you a bow and hat..." I said in thought. If Princess Celestia could've gotten me another golden ticket for you. I wonder if Twilight even send her a letter at all.
"Well, I guess I could make you that, my dear Kodiak." Rarity said, much to Kodi's joy.
"You sure you can make all of us outfits for the Gala?" I asked in concern.
"Oh please Ren. I can make one faster than Rainbow Dash can move a cloud!" Rarity exclaimed.
"Well..okay." I shrugged.
"LOOK OUT BELOW!" Look out what? Suddenly, a familiar rainbow-maned Pegasus landed into Rarity's mannequins, much to our bewilderment. "Oops, sorry, new trick. Didn't quite work out."
"Yeah, I think we can see how it went..." I said, widening my eyes a little to see come in like this.
"Hmm..." Rarity observed Rainbow Dash as she was in the pile of clothes with a bucket on her head. "I-DEA! I'll make you an outfit for the Gala too, Rainbow Dash!"
"A...what for the what, now?" Rainbow asked, looking around in confusion
"I'll make one for you and you and all of you. Oh! And of course Pinkie and Fluttershy too. Oh, and when I'm done, we can hold our very own fashion show!" Rarity exclaimed.
"What a great idea!" Twilight agreed, but then raised a brow. "If you're certain you can handle it."
"Oh, it'll be a little bit of work." Rarity waved it off as she levitated out many rolls of different color fabric. "But it will be a wonderful boost for my business. Plus, fun!"
"Ooh! I'm into fun things!" Rainbow said, as she was still in the pile of clothes.
"Then it's settled! We'll have a fashion show starring...us!" Rarity announced as she already began to get work on a new design.
"Um, no offense, girls." I spoke up, gaining everypony attention. "But wouldn't it be weird for a boy like me and a dog like Kodiak to be showing off in our suits like that?"
"Well...you do have a point darling." Rarity said, realizing that would be weird.
"Oh come Ren!" Kodi begged. "It would be fun to show off our new suits! I mean, what's the worse could it happen?." Kodi suggested. Besides fighting off an Ursa Minor, a jerky magician mare, a giant dragon, and an evil mare that was trapped on the moon for thousand of years. Yeah, I feel like something terrible might happen, but then again, I guess I could give it a try.
"Alright, I don't mind then." I said, smiling softly.
"Yay!" Kodi jumped in joy for me deciding to go to the fashion show.
"Excellent choice Ren!" Rarity said as Applejack walked over to her.
"So all you have to do is make a different, stunning, original, amazing outfit for, plus, yourself, six ponies, one human, and a talking dog? And lickety split?" Applejack asked.
"Oh, Applejack." Rarity laughed. "You make it sound as if it's going to be hard."
"Oh...well alright then." Applejack replied. "I'll guess we'll check up on our outfits later!"
"Yeah, good luck Rarity!" I said as I handed her my ripped up suit to her. Rarity thanked meas we headed out, repeating our thanks to her. Even Rainbow got out of the pile of clothes and headed out of the shop, saying her thanks to Rarity. I just hope Rarity knows what she's doing. Nah, she totally knows what she's doing.
Later
I was back home, I was busy eating lunch while Kodi was eating his dog treats. Though, while walking back home, Kodi kept apologizing to me over and over and I kept saying 'it's okay'. I understand Kodi feels so sad for ripping my tux's sleeve, but I just wished he could relax, I told him already that I wasn't mad at him. So I decided to make it up by making some food for us. I was having a peanut-butter and Jelly Sandwhich, and made another for Kodi to add to his snack, just to show that I really do accept his apologize.
"So Ren, when can we go to this Gala, Rarity was talking about?" Kodi asked.
"I think somewhere next month, but I'm still waiting to hear if Princess Celestia would get another ticket for you." I said, as I finished up my fries.
"Oh...got it." Kodi said as he rubbed his belly in joy. Guess a little someone just finish his lunch. Soon after, the doorbell rang as I headed over and opened it, revealing Twilight and the four other girls.
"Hey Ren, guess what?" Twilight said, getting excited. "Rarity just finished our dresses and fixing your tux!"
"Oh really? That's awesome!" I said as I whistled Kodi over. "Let's go guys!"
They all nodded as we headed over to Rarity's shop and once we arrived, I gently knock on the door, revealing an over-excitedly Rarity.
"Oh there you all are! Come in, come in! Just close your eyes." Rarity said.
"Um...why?" Kodi asked curiously.
"Duh, Kodi, it's a surprise, and she wants us to not see them yet." I told him as I closed my eyes.
"Oh." Kodi said before closing his eyes. Rarity then lead us to the girl's new dresses and my newly fixed up tux.
"That's it. Keep them closed." Rarity said as kept going in. Oh boy, I can't wait to see what my Tux is like. "Don't look...." I just hope it so awesome looking. "Okay, you can look now!" All of us gasped as we saw the new clothes. I even saw my Tux, and the rip was nowhere to be found, like there was no rip at all. I even saw a little pony manneqin next to my tux. It only had a fancy black hat and a black bow, guess that's Kodiak.
"These are your new outfits. What do you think of your old duds now, Applejack? Pretty swanky, are they not? And Twilight! I made this dress for you and I designed each outfit theme to perfectly reflect each pony's unique personality. Oh, it took me forever to get the colors right on this one, Rainbow Dash, but I did it. Oh, and it turned out BEAUTIFUL, don't you think? Ooh, and I know you are going to love yours, Fluttershy. It just sings spring! And Pinkie Pie, look! Pink! Your favorite! Ren, I also fixed up your sleeve just like you wanted, and I also made your little puppy friend some accessories for the Gala. Ooh, he would look so cute in that. So, aren't they all amazing? "Rarity announced each dress's details very excitedly as she awaited the instant approval from us.
"Those..." I spoke up.
"Are..." Kodi said as we jumped up and said "Awesome!"
"You really know your stuff, Rares!" I said in amazement. "Thanks so much for fixing my tux!" I smiled happily.
"Yeah, and thanks for making me a hat and a bow for the Gala!" Kodi said, wagging his tail happily.
"Why thank you Ren and Kodiak, darling." Rarity bowed before turning to the girls. "So, what do you think? Aren't they fabulous?"
There was a silence so deep, that I could almost hear everypony's eyes blink, especially Rarity who kept smiling excitedly. Wonder why the silence? I mean, don't they like Rarity's design?
"Wow...they're..." Twilight spoke up nervously.
"Yeah, they're..." Rainbow tried to assist.
"They sure are...something." Applejack added.
"Yes!" Twilight pointed out." Something." This caused me and Kodi to frown upon hearing this from them. They really don't like it.
"I love something! Something is my favorite!" Pinkie exclaimed.
"Wait what?" Kodi asked. I shrugged my shoulders and continue to see what was happening.
"It's...nice." Fluttershy said, but she held her ears and head down like she was so disappointed. I don't believe it, why don't they love it?! I, for one, including Kodi, think they're awesome.
"But what's the matter? Don't you like them>" Rarity asked in worried.
"They're very nice..." Twilight said, looking away in fear.
"And we're plum grateful cause you worked so hard on them." Applejack added, nervously.
"Mine's just not as cool as I was imagining." Rainbow said in a bored expression, causing Applejack and Twilight to glare at her angrily. "What? She asked!"
Rarity's smiled turned into a frown upon hearing that.
I let out a sigh and stepped in front of them and looked at them with a sad expression. "You girls don't like them? But why? They look really amazing, I even like it!"
"Yeah, and I think they're awesome too!" Kodi added.
"No Ren, we do like them..." Twilight said as she paused for a moment. "It's just that...I guess what we're all saying is that they're not what we had in mind." Twilight admitted sadly. Everypony murmured in agreement, much to me and Kodi's shock. I don't believe it, Rarity put all of her hard work and this happens!
I turned to Rarity, who was still disappointed upon hearing our friends' opinions.
"That's okay." Rarity sighed. "Not a problem. There's plenty more where that came from. They were only a first pass. You're my friends and I want you to be 110% satisfied. Now to worry, I'll redo them."
"Oh, Rarity. You don't have to do that. They're fine." Fluttershy said, feeling bad for hurting Rarity's feelings.
"I want them to be better, that's just fine." Rarity explained as she began her redoing process. "I want you to think they're absolutely perfect."
"Are you sure? I mean, we wouldn't wanna impose." Applejack asked.
Rarity laughed as she said "Oh, it's no imposition. Really, I insist."
"Well, in that case...Thank you again, Rarity." Twilight thanked as she and the other ponies began leaving the room, which Rarity laughed nervously.
As soon as the door closed, she looked at the ground, sadly. "What have I gotten myself into?" Rarity asked.
"R-rarity?" I asked in worried.
"It's okay Rares, those dresses seem pretty cool to us." Kodi said, smiling softly at her.
"Yeah, even I thought it was an awesome work, and the way you fix my tux's sleeve, that was pretty cool. I just don't understand why they didn't like them." I added.
"No Ren and Kodiak! Please, it's...alright! After all, the customer is always right, and all that. I gave you all my word you would each receive an outfit you yourselves deemed perfect! And while I am thankful you both are satisfied with your suits, I simply must keep true to my word. So, please! Don't tell them about the issue, promise me!" Rarity begged.
"B-but...but..." Kodi couldn't find the right word to say to her, so I let out a sigh and decided to settle this.
"It's okay Rarity, we promise that we won't say anything..." I said sadly.
"Oh thank you!" Rarity said as she sighed in relief before clearing her throat. "Now, feel free to take your suits but I must get back to work, tight schedule and whatnot." Rarity said as she got back to her work on the dresses.
"Umm...you sure you don't want us to help you?" I offered. "I mean, with my Hacking Gun, I'm sure that-"
"No no, I can handle this my friends, now, ta-ta!" Rarity waved off as me and Kodi looked at each other and sighed before leaving the shop, saying our goodbye to Rarity as I took my newly fixed tux and Kodiak's new accessories for the Gala.
"Poor Rarity...she looked so sad upon hearing our friends' opinions." Kodi said, his ears being droopy.
"Yeah, I can't believe this, the girls receive exclusive original dresses, so well made, and they don't think they're good enough, and totally disregard Rarity's generosity." I said, pouting in anger. I just wished they were something we could do. Wait, that's it! I know how we can fix all of this!
Later
It was getting late as we were at the fashion show...in disguise. I wore a fedora I found at home and even a fake mustache, and Kodiak put on some dark sunglasses, problem is that he can't see anything in it. As many ponies started to show up, I waited at the front of the show for Kodi to know what was happening. Finally, Kodi came over and gestured me to come. I looked around to see if anypony was watching me, and once the coast was clear. I got out of the crowd and headed for the back of the show, where I met up with Rarity as well.
"Kodi, why did you bring Rarity?" I asked in confusion.
"Well, you see, I got good news and bad news..." Kodi said sheepishly, which Rarity nodded sadly.
"What's the good news?"
"Well...have you ever heard of Hoity-Toity before?" Rarity asked.
"Hoity-what? No offense Rarity, but I'm not from this world, remember?" I reminded her, causing her to blush lightly. Okay, seriously? Do I even need to say it? Hoity-Toity sounds like a ridiculous, yet funny name.
"Right...anyway, Hoity-Toity is a famous fashion critic from Canterlot. He apparently somehow knew about the fashion show tonight and is coming here...TONIGHT!" Rarity exclaimed as she grabbed my cheeks and started to panic. I firmly gripped her shoulders and tried to calm her down.
"Relax Rarity, now what's the bad news, you guys?" I asked.
"Well...remember the dresses Rarity tried to fix up for the others?" Kodi reminded me.
"Yeah why....oh please don't tell me that-"
"Hey Ren!" Huh? I quickly took off my disguise and hid it behind me. I looked behind Kodi and Rarity and....what in the actual heck?! The dresses the girl were...I-I don't even know what to even say, but it like they were hit by a tornado or something.
"Oh hey ladies, how's it....going?" I said, trying to hide m disgust away from them.
"We're just about to go on stage now, it was so nice for you and Kodi to come watch us." Twilight said, getting all excited.
"Yeah...totally, right Kodi?" I asked him, smiling nervously at him.
"Y-yeah...totally, Ren..." Kodi said, nodding slowly while smiling sheepishly.
"Yep, wish us luck Ren!" Applejack said before she and the other girls headed up the stage. As soon as they left, I made a nervous expression.
"You're right Rarity, I can imagine that this is truly bad! We need to to do something...fast!" I said.
"I know, but..I can't!" Rarity exclaimed.
"Why's that?" Kodi asked.
"Because...I just want my friends to be happy, I don't want to disappoint them!" Rarity explained. I let out a sigh and shook my head, I can understand Rarity doesn't want her friends to be so sad and disappointed like they were from the first moment Rarity made those dresses for them. But, I have no choice!
"I'm sorry Rarity, but I got no choice!" I said as I took out my Hacking Gun.
"But, what are you gonna do, Ren?" Kodi asked.
"I'm going to stop this show!" I said as I ran back to the show and that's when I saw somepony making his way to the show. He was an earth pony with a blue-gray coat, silvery blue/gray mane in an elaborate manestyle, as was his tail, he wore shades over his eyes, a fancy-looking dress collar, and his cutie-mark was a paper fan. He looked very effeminate but walked with a sense of undeserved accomplishment. I'm no famous fashion critic but...I think that's Hoity-Toity.
Hoity-Toity approached the walkway, and then clapped his hooves and somepony brought a cushion for him to sit on and getting his muzzle sat on when Hoity-Toity didn't even wait for him to move.
Soon, music began playing and lights flashed on the center of the stage, revealing Spike.
"Since the beginning of time, the elite of Equestria have longed for pony pashions that truly expressed the essence of their very souls. Patiently waiting decades, no...centuries! For the perfect pony gown. Today, at long last, Equestria, your wait is over! Let's hear it for the breathtaking designs of Ponyville's own Rarity!"
Okay, this is my chance to stop this! I aimed my Hacking Gun towards the light and shot 'Break' at it, knocking out the lights, and used 'Move' on the curtains, causing them to be closed. I then got onto stage, grabbing the mic from Spike, who glare at me.
"I'm so sorry everypony!" I announced. "But do to some unfortunate incident, the show is postponed until tomorrow night. Again, I'm so sorry and hope you will come back to the show once everything is okay, thank you!"
Everypony grumbled in anger and the crowd started to disperse. Hoity-Toity let out a huff and took his leave. I let out a sigh of relief, looks like I did it. Suddenly, I felt someone or something yanked me backstage, and I apparently found myself facing five angry mares. Oh crap, this is bad...for me, that is.
"Ren! Why in the name of Celestia did you cancel the show?!" Twilight demanded.
“Uhh….who’s Ren?” I asked nervously, until Twilight use her magic to snatch away the fedora and the fake mustache away from me, getting rid of my disguise. Oh crap, this does not look good.
"You better have a good explanation if you wanna keep your apples between your legs, Loodan!" Applejack warned, which made me crossed my legs in defense.
"I was looking forwards to showing off my cool dress and how cool I looked!" Rainbow exclaimed.
"That was very mean thing you did Rennie, and I'll never ever forgive you!" Pinkie added, but then whispered through my ear and said "Yes, I would, by the way." Typical Pinkie Pie.
"Forgive me Ren, but that was rude." Fluttershy scolded softy.
"I'm sorry...but I have too!" I exclaimed nervously.
"And why's that? Because..." Rainbow grabbed me by the hoodie and glared at me. "You have five seconds or else I'll beat you down!"
"Well I'll don't agree with what Rainbow is about to do." Twilight said, glaring at me. "But we do deserve an explanation! You even made Rarity upset!"
"Twilight, I'm not upset..." We all looked to see Rarity and Kodi walking over to us as she came over to me and hugged me tightly. "Thank you Ren!"
"Rarity?!" Twilight exclaimed, flabbergasted upon seeing her hugging me in a cheerful way, along with the other girls. "What are you talking about?! Ren just stopped the show, how can you be thanking him?"
"Um, maybe because of those dresses you girls are wearing?" Kodi said, angering the girls even more.
"What?..." Applejack asked, sneering at my pet. Oh god, she looks like she's about to kick either me or Kodi in the shins.
"What he means is that those clothes....are just wrong!" I exclaimed as Rainbow dropped me on the ground.
"What?!" The five mares exclaimed in unison.
"Look, don't be mad but...you girls looked like you were caught up in a tornado, and later gotten pooped on by a giant bird." I said bluntly, which made all the mare were dumbstruck upon those words of mine. Phew, that was easy.
"He's right, I hates those dresses the moment I've made them!" Rarity added, agreeing with me.
"Yeah, she wanted to tell you but she didn't want you to be disappointed!" Kodi said angrily.
"Kodi's right!" I spoke up, crossing my arms and glaring at them. "Rarity worked so hard to make those dresses perfect, and you girls kept dismissing her, overtaking her generosity!" The girls realized that I was right as they felt terrible and ashamed of themselves. I let out a sigh and softened my expression. "Rarity was trying to be a good friend, but you girls never understood her feelings. So, can we just forgive each other?"
"You're right Ren, we had the nerve to turn down the amazing dresses she originally made for us." Twilight spoke up, being ashamed of her. "And took advantage of her generosity."
"With these as the results." Rainbow muttered apologetically, taking off and kicking her dress away.
"We're mighty sorry, Sugarcube." Applejack offered.
"I was too judgmental in the design." Fluttershy added, sadly.
“We were meanies to turn down the dresses you made.” Pinkie cried.
“It’s alright, girls.” Rarity said, smiling softly at her friends. “I’m just glad you all understand.”
“You know…” I spoke up, gaining everypony’s attention. “I did like those original dresses, if you like to hear my opinion?” I asked, raising a brow.
“Why, that’s a great idea!” Rarity said happily. “And I can’t wait to see you all in them.”
“And I have an idea of how we can show you our thanks and apologies.” Twilight said, while looking at the girls.
“And wasn’t the fashion show postponed until tomorrow?” Kodi reminded us.
“Oh that’s right, I forgot.” I said smiling sheepishly at the girls. “Sorry about that.”
“Nah, it’s okay!” Rainbow said, waving it off.
“Exactly, we’d better make sure we’re ready.” Rarity said with a determined smile that the girls mirrored with nods.
“And…” Kodi spoke up. “I think I speak for me and Ren when I say…we wanna partake in the show!”
“Yeah!” I exclaimed in agreement before adding “And I just know how we can help Rarity make up for making those awful dresses….no offense.
“None taken.” Rarity said, smiling happily at me. Oh good, I can imagine what Rarity’s angry reaction could be, and something to remind me to never make a girl upset…ever.
The Next Day
“Take-Two!” Hoity-Toity announced. The next morning, we got up in an instant, headed for Rarity’s dress shop, and put on our clothes that Rarity made for us, and gotten ready for the fashion show.
Anyway, back to the fashion show, Spike closed the curtains so the daylight wouldn’t ruin the effect and Rarity began the show, a light intensifying from her horn before she released a nova-effect of blue and white stars that cleared to reveal Twilight in her beautiful outfit that Rarity made for her. It was a blue star themed gown with an outerspace background that shimmed with stars.
“Hello…” Hoity-Toity’s interests had been piqued as Twilight spun her gown, the room being plunged into darkness.
Next up was me and Kodi, as we were wearing our fancy clothes. I wore an Angelino Blossom Tux and Kodi was wearing his snazzy black top hat and his black bow on his neck.
“Ah, fabulous!”
But then a bright sun blinded him and midnight was gone. In his place appeared an apple orchard, a bright shiny red apple getting lassoed and whipped as Applejack twirled it away and she posed in her green and brown ensemble, her tail braided, her front legs crossed.
“Simply magnificent!” Hoity-Toity awed. “And suddenly, I have a fierce craving for some Dutch apple pie. Candied apples on a stick? Apple turnovers? Apple cobbler?”
But then a light purple and pink mist clouded up the stage, before they were actual clouds that rained sweets, some of which alighted themselves onto Pinkie Pie, who caught a gumdrop and happily ate it before smiling as she posed in her dress, which had a candy-store theme to it.
“Brilliant!” He cheered but gasped at the sound of thunder and flashes of red, green, blue, and yellow, the same colors as the lightning bolts when a stormcloud appeared and colored rays of light pierced its thickness, an array of colors shining before revealing Rainbow Dash who posed in her rainbow-colored gown, hemmed with cloud-like material, her forehooves in golden sandels, and she wore golden laurels in her mane.
“Oh spectacular!” He cheered again. Wow, this guy gets easily impressed, well, by Rarity’s clothing I guess.
Suddenly, he gaped to see vines rise up, flowers blooming and petals falling, and from the fluorescent shower appeared Fluttershy, looking meek but hopeful as she was garbed in a trailing green gown with butterfly accessories.
“What a fashion show! These dresses, that suit, all truly amazing!” Hoity-Toity clapped. “Who is responsible? Step forward, show yourself!”
“I…think you should ask her about that.” I said as I bowed upon Rarity walking on the stage. She was garbed in her own dress, which was the one that the girls worked on, to both thank and apologize to Rarity. It was an amazing ball-gown, pink, magenta, purple, yellow, orange, and red jewels sewn in just the right places, and a radiant tiara rested upon her head.
“Bravo! Bravo!” Hoity-Toity cheered and clapped. “Magnifico! Encore!”
“Oh thank you, thank you!” Rarity thanked, joyfully.
We all gathered on the first floor of the shop, where everypony started to compliment each other. While I was smiled happily at them, Twilight gestured me to come to her, which I did anyway.
“Hey…”
“Hey…” I said nervously. Dang it, why am I so nervous.
“Listen, I’m sorry if I didn’t understood Rarity’s feelings, I should’ve known better.” Twilight said sadly.
“Hey, it’s okay, you didn’t know, and besides, we all make mistakes and try to learn from them. After all, that fashion show was beautiful, and it was a good thing nopony saw you and the others in those ugly gowns, you girls would’ve been the laughing stock of all of Ponyville, possible Equestria.” I said, shaking my head, which made Twilight chuckled.
“Yeah, I guess you’re right…Say, why not help me on today’s Friendship report?” Twilight asked.
“Sure, why not.” I shrugged as Twilight turned to Spike and began making a new letter to Princess Celestia.
“Dear Princess Celestia, this week, my very talented friend Rarity learned that, if you try to please everypony you oftentimes end up please nopony, especially yourself.”
“And I think five mares learned a valuable lesson.” I interrupted with a smirk. “When somepony offers to do you a favor, like making you a beautiful dress, you shouldn’t be overly critical of something generously given to you.”
“In other words.” Twilight said, giving me a smirk and a raised brow. “You shouldn’t look like a gift horse, or in this case, a gift ‘human’, in the mouth.”
“Hey!” I exclaimed, feeling quite insulted in that. Spike finished the letter and sent it on its way as its ashes zoomed out the window. Huh, still, how does he do that?
“Rarity, my congratulations to you on a most impressive fashion debut!” oity-Toity exclaimed happily. “Would you do me the great honor of allowing me to feature your couture in my best of the best boutique in Canterlot?”
Rarity gasped in both shock and joy upon hearing this kind of opportunity.
“Now, I’ll need for you to make a dozen of each dress and suit by next Tuesday.” Hoity-Toity added. Suddenly, a loud thump on the floor earned our attention as we looked down to see a fainted Rarity. Huh, guess the excitement might’ve gotten too much on her. “Was it something I said?” He asked in confusion. Soon enough, we all laughed upon this, having a good time of our lives.
“You know Ren, this was worth it.” Kodi said, happily wagging his tail.
“You said it bud, though you look good with that hat and bow.” I complimented with a smirk.
“And not so bad yourself, Ren.” Kodi said, smiling while gazing at my suit.
“Thanks, but…don’t try to rip it apart again, Kodiak.” I said, which made Kodi smiled sheepishly. Three seconds later, we started laughing too. Ooh, it’s such a good day for us. I just hope this Grand Galloping Gala is worth to see and go.
To Be Continued
