//------------------------------// // Morning Preparations // Story: Ready for Commitment // by StormLuna //------------------------------// Colgate's Preparations Friday morning arrived and Colgate was up much earlier than she normally would be on a day that she was not going to work. She had already showered when Lyra caught her in the kitchen. She knew that Colgate had plans for the day but did not expect her to be up that early. One thing she did notice though was that Colgate was in her normal weekend clothes, sweats and a t-shirt. She asked, "Colgate, I thought you'd be dressed by now!" Colgate had begun to cook them the same breakfast she always did on weekends causing Lyra to continue, "Colgate, I thought you were going to spend the day with Fluttershy!" Colgate looked up at the clock and replied, "Lyra, it is just a few minutes past seven and I'm not supposed to go and get her until nine so we have time for breakfast, alright?" Lyra nodded in agreement and waited anxiously for Colgate to finish fixing their food. By the time she finished cooking, it was still only 7:30 but that didn't mean that Colgate was going to leisurely chit chat with her sister like she normally does on days that she didn't work. Lyra noticed this and asked, "Sis, why are you scarfing your food down? You said you weren't going to go get her until nine." Colgate emptied her mouth and replied, "Look, I still need to brush after this and then I have to get dress...." Lyra interrupted, "But it shouldn't take that long!" Colgate replied, "Lyra, I know I may sound paranoid to you but I have to make sure that I look perfect for her. Even one bit of imperfection may cause Fluttershy to think that I'm not truly serious!" Lyra couldn't help but snicker a bit over her older sister's paranoia, "Colgate, everything will be ok! You have a nice dress to wear today, you've already showered and I know you'll have more than enough time." Colgate calmed down a bit and replied, "Oh you're right. I still have plenty of time and I don't have to rush through breakfast." Despite admitting that she didn't have to rush through her breakfast, Colgate still ate her meal a bit quicker than she normally would. After finishing, she put her dishes in the dishwasher and headed up to brush and then get ready for her day. After brushing, she began to get dressed. As she put the dress on, it felt odd to her. Trying the dress on was one thing but putting it on for the day's events was something completely different. One thing Colgate could not do though was see how she looked as she did not have a mirror in her room. She thought to herself, "Well I'll just have to go to Lyra's room since she does have a mirror." Colgate headed to her sister's room and looked at herself in the mirror. It still looked odd to her to see herself in a dress and then one thing crossed her mind, something Rarity said about what may impress Fluttershy more. She grabbed her breasts and pushed them up. She then said to herself, "I just hope this works, I hope that Fluttershy doesn't think that I'm trying to seduce her." After another brief moment of examining herself in the mirror, she headed downstairs. She was immediately greeted by Lyra who was impressed, "Wow sis, you look great." She then grinned, pointed at Colgate's chest and snickered, "I bet your sweetie doesn't know you're big like this, does she?" Colgate gave her a nervous look, "Well no, she doesn't." Colgate looked up at the clock and noticed that it was 8:30 and knew she needed to get going. She continued, "Well sis, I better get going. I don't want to be late." Lyra replied, "Alright, good luck!" Colgate grabbed her purse and headed out the door. As she headed towards the edge of town where Fluttershy lived, she was attracting a lot of attention, attention that she was not fond of. Ponies were in shock to see her in a dress and were watching her every move. She tried her best to ignore all the attention by keeping her head facing forward but eventually the stress became to much for her as she yelled, "Stop staring, stop staring!" After that everypony stopped staring and went back to their normal business. As she got to the edge of town and Fluttershy's cottage was in sight, she said to herself, "Well here goes nothing." Fluttershy's Preparations Morning arrived and Fluttershy was woken up by the sun shining in on her. On most days she would be slow to get up since her normal meetups with her friends at Sugarcube Corner didn't require her to dress any differently than normal but this day was different, she jumped out of bed and exclaimed, "Today's the day! Today's the day Colgate is devoting entirely to me!" Most all of her animals were making noises in approval except for one, Angel. She was heading towards the bathroom to get showered when Angel yanked on her tail and gave her his normal disapproving look. She shrugged her shoulders and sighed, "Alright Angel but I don't have time to fix you anything overly fancy, I have to get ready for my date today." She headed downstairs and fed her animals. Most of them got pellets but Angel got a bowl of lettuce, which was not as impressive as he would get on most mornings. He gave her a scowl, which was immediately returned. He was not one bit thrilled but given how she had been getting when she had plans with Colgate, he knew that she was not about to cave in to him. After feeding her animals, Fluttershy headed up and immediately got in the shower. As she was showering, she couldn't help but wonder what the day would bring. As she was washing her breasts, she couldn't help but wonder if a day would ever come when Colgate would be the one washing them. She had a smile on her face as she was doing this until she finally snapped back to reality. She scolded herself, "Come on Fluttershy, I know we're growing close and she is devoting this day to us but I doubt us showering together is in her immediate plans!" She also realized that she had better hurry up, get dressed and eat something for breakfast. As she was getting dressed, she got into one of the dresses that fit a bit more snug. Once she got it on, she pushed her breasts up and examined herself in the mirror and thought to herself, "I hope this looks ok for a day date." She then sighed and continued, "If only I could get Colgate to wear a dress, we would make a much cuter couple." After getting dressed, she headed downstairs and noticed that it wouldn't be too much longer until Colgate would be arriving so she simply fixed herself a quick bowl of cereal. One part of her was hoping that Colgate had not eaten yet but she knew how Colgate was, she knew that she had likely been up for a while and ate a long time ago. Fluttershy very quickly ate her breakfast and after looking up at the clock, she knew that she had plenty of time to relax before Colgate would arrive. Despite having more than enough time, she continued to look up at the clock every few minutes and began to worry, "What if Colgate doesn't come? What if she decided to open her practice today after all."
