"And viola!" exclaimed Rarity. "This is probably the best one yet don't you think so Rainbow Dash?" she asked as she slid a mirror in front of Rainbow so that Dash could see herself in the gown. It was simple yet bold, white with garnishing of gold. Regal, yet casual.
"Wow! This one's actually really cool," said Rainbow truly surprised by her appearance in the mirror. Not only was the dress stunning on her but Rarity had even taken the time to style her mane for it.
"What is that suppose to mean Rainbow Dash?" asked Rarity with a hint of sarcasm and false hurt "Were my other designs not up to your standards?" Rarity teased.
"No, no. It's nothing like that. This once just extra good is all." quickly answered Rainbow. Rarity hadn't intended to spend her entire day dressing up Rainbow Dash, but it wasn't everyday she got to see her rowdy friend in elegant attire. It did seem strange however, it was Rainbow Dash's idea yet she seemed reluctant. There were times where out of the corner of her eye Rarity could see Dash looking annoyed or bored. However, any time Rarity actually turned and looked directly at Dash, Dash was exuberant.
"Dash what's really going on?" Rarity finally asked.
"What? Heh heh... What do you mean?" replied Rainbow with a nervous smile and sweaty brow.
Rarity rolled her eyes. "You can't fool me Rainbow Dash. I know you're not enjoying yourself. It's pretty obvious to tell with you. Although it was fun putting you in all those dresses and watching you fake enjoyment. But again, what is going on?" re-asked Rarity.
"Nothing, honest. It's not a crime to want to spend time with a friend is it?" said Rainbow Dash suspiciously defensive.
"So you just wanted to spend time with me?" asked Rarity.
"Yeah, and this dress isn't too bad. I actually like this one a little," replied Rainbow, trying to divert the conversation back towards dresses.
"Just that one huh? So you don't actually like wearing dresses do you? And don't lie, you're no good at it. Worse than Applejack I'm afraid," said Rarity with a smile. Having seen right through her friend from nearly the get go she was eager to get to the real reason Dash was here. "So you wanted to spend time with me, may I ask why?"
"Because you're my friend," answered Rainbow Dash softly, almost like a question rather than an actual answer.
"Look dear, if you just wanted to spend time together we could have just gotten lunch or something. Instead you wake me up before the sun rises by banging on my window to give me a note with no real pertinent information on it. You later show up confessing a secret that I knew couldn't possible be true. Not to mention how strangely you've been acting for the last several..." Rarity was cut off by Dash's lips being pressed against hers. She froze in shock.
"That's why I wanted to spend time with you." said Rainbow Dash after having pulled away from Rarity. Rarity stood there silent, not knowing what to say or do.
"Dash..." she started.
"Wow, look at the time. Got to jet. I'll ah... return your dress later. Bye." And with that Rainbow blasted out of the Boutique leaving Rarity alone.
"Oh Rainbow Dash why?" Rarity said to herself as a tear rolled out her eye.
