Picking Up What She Needs

Three days had passed and another unexpected event had arrived for Colgate, the day that she would go to Rarity to pick up her dresses, the first dresses she would have ever owned. It was closing time at her office and again it seemed like she was in a hurry. This time though, Lyra knew why she was in such a rush. She commented, "Have to get to Rarity's here pretty soon?"

Colgate replied, "Yep." She knew that she would likely have to try on everything that Rarity had made her and knew that Lyra had been looking forward to seeing her in a dress so she suggested, "Lyra, what would you think about coming with me to pick them up?"

Lyra never expected her older sister to ask that. She gave her a smile, "Really? You want me to come with you?"

Colgate replied, "Yes, I do. Besides, I figure I may as well get an opinion from somepony other than just Rarity when I try them on. I want to know if I look good."

Lyra became excited, "Of course I'll come with you! I really want to see my big sister in a dress!"

After rushing through closing things, the two departed their office and headed towards the Carousel Boutique. When they arrived, Colgate was a bit anxious, hoping that what Rarity had made for her would fit while it was all Lyra could do to not go bouncing right towards the boutique and leave her elder sister way behind.

When they arrived, the two headed into the boutique and Colgate was immediately in Rarity's embrace, "Colgate darling, it is so good to see you!"

Colgate, despite not being fond of being embraced by anypony other than Fluttershy, returned the embrace. She replied, "It is good to see you too."

Rarity broke the embrace and asked, "Well Colgate, do you want to try them on?"

Colgate asked in return, "Sure. Where are your dressing rooms?"

Rarity led the two into the back where she had the dresses. Colgate looked them over and they were exactly what she had asked for. She said, "Those look great Rarity!"

Rarity led her to the dressing room and suggested, "Well go and try them on!"

Colgate nodded and headed into the dressing room. As she put the first dress on, she couldn't help but notice that it was a bit more snug than anything she had ever put on before. Despite it being more snug up top, it wasn't horribly uncomfortable. Colgate looked at herself in the mirror and was shocked by what she saw. She thought that she actually looked good. She gave her reflection a smile and said, "Now to go show how I look to Lyra and Rarity."

As she exited the fitting room, both Lyra and Rarity gasped in shock. Lyra was the first to say anything, "Wow sis, you look spectacular!"

Rarity added, "You look absolutely magnificent!" She approached Colgate and couldn't help but notice one thing, Colgate wasn't using the one thing that she thought would make Fluttershy want her more. She went to reach for her chest but would have her hand swatted away by Colgate.

Colgate asked, "Rarity, why are you reaching there?"

Rarity replied, "Just wait, I want to show you something." Rarity grabbed her and pushed her breasts up, making them more visible. She gave Colgate a smile and continued, "I think you look much better like this and I know it will really impress Fluttershy."

Lyra got a huge smile on her face and added, "And you do want to impress her don't you?"

Colgate replied, "Of course I do." She then began to head back into the dressing room and added, "Now to try on the one for the big night."

Colgate headed back into the dressing room and got into her other dress. Unlike the one that she would wear tomorrow, it wasn't quite as snug and was elegant, very elegant. She put it on and headed out to get their opinions. When the two saw her, their jaws dropped open. Lyra gasped, "Sis, you look, you look like royalty in that!"

Rarity added, "Colgate darling, I have never seen anypony ever look this good!" She approached Colgate and continued, "Fluttershy is going to love you in this!"

Colgate was shocked to her this, "Seriously, you've never seen anypony look this good?"

Rarity replied, "Of course not darling! I have a feeling that with these two dresses, Fluttershy will be beyond stunned."

Colgate suggested, "Well Lyra, shall I get back into my normal clothes, take these home and then head out to the cafe."

Once again Colgate was suggesting that they go out for supper, something that used to be a rare treat. Lyra replied, "I'd love for us to go out!"

Colgate smiled and headed back into the dressing room to get changed. While she was getting changed Rarity decided to talk to Lyra about something that may bring her more business, "So Lyra, how are things with Bon Bon going?"

Lyra replied, "They are going alright."

Rarity though things were going better between the two and couldn't help but be curious about her reply. She asked, "Are things not going as well as you would like?"

"It just seems like it is always the same thing. We hang out, we go out for the occasional snack but that is it." She sighed in frustration before smiling and continuing, "And then I see how Colgate has changed ever since she started seeing Fluttershy. It seems like there is something magical about their relationship."

Rarity put her arm around Lyra and asked, "I take it you wish things between you two were like how they are with Colgate and Fluttershy?"

Lyra sighed, "Yes, I do. I know Bon Bon loves me but I just wish she would smile more." She became a bit more frustrated and continued, "I remember how it was when we first hooked up, everything seemed so sp......"

Lyra would be interrupted when Colgate was back into her normal clothes, "Well I'm ready for the next two days now, I just hope that things go perfectly."

Rarity gave her a smile, "Oh I'm sure everything will go perfectly. Like I've said, it seems like you are the only thing Fluttershy talks about anymore."

Colgate couldn't help but blush, "And she is occupying my mind more and more." She became more excited as she continued, "I am so excited to see her tomorrow! I can't wait to see her face when she sees me in a dress!"

Rarity gave Colgate one more dress, "Well darling, I'm sure she will be shocked." She knew that Colgate was planning on taking Lyra out for supper and knew how Colgate felt about having to wait in line, "I probably should let you and Lyra get going so you can get to the cafe before the supper rush arrives."

Colgate replied, "Yeah, we should get going." She turned to Lyra and asked, "Shall we?"

Lyra replied, "Yeah, let's get going."

As the two left the boutique, the two sisters were having different feelings. Colgate had a huge smile on her face as she headed home, dreaming of what the following day would bring. While Lyra was happy that her sister was happy, she couldn't help but be a bit envious knowing that her sister may only be a couple days away from being engaged.
