//------------------------------// // Aftermath // Story: Rainbow's First Date // by The Dark Wolf //------------------------------// The next day, Rainbow Dash went to school in her usual outfit, which had dried since her bath. She was at her locker when Rarity noticed her and ran over to her. "Hi Rarity," said Rainbow Dash. "So, how did it go?" said Rarity excitedly. "It was awesome! Turns out he liked me the way I was!" Rarity was surprised. "Wow... really?" she said, feeling a mixture of joy and disappointment. "Yeah," said Rainbow. "I mean, don’t get me wrong. I really appreciate the makeover and everything. It was my own fault for assuming he was only into girly girls. He actually thought I wouldn’t like HIM because he thought I was only into sporty guys." "Haha, isn't that funny," said Rarity awkwardly. "Yeah. He actually liked me better with the smell, cause he's into girls like that too. But he likes my hair better not greasy, so I'll wash my hair more often in the future." "Well... that's great, Dashie... I'm SO happy for the two of you..." "I know the makeover was all for nothing, but thanks anyway. I know you put a lot of effort into that." "Oh, sure... n-no problem... glad to know things worked out in the end..." Rarity twitched a bit as she forced a smile. She still liked Rainbow even if she was going to return to her dirty ways, and didn't want her to know how disappointed she was. Rainbow smiled and left for class. Once she was out of sight, Rarity frowned. "Oh great!" she scoffed. "I wasted $530 worth of dresses and makeover products for nothing!"
