It was a fine morning in Ponyville, and a certain child was getting ready for his first date. And in Canterlot itself, would it take place! But his preparations... weren't usual.
Button Mash hummed to himself as he trotted. His bag of bits clanked with every step, making his mouth feel funny. Button Mash entered Rarity's Boutique with a smile.
"Welcome to Rarity's Boutique, where everything is chic and unique. Oh! Hello Button Mash!" Rarity said cheerfully. "Are you here to get something for your mother?"
"Nope!" Button Mash said as he set down his bag of bits. "I'm here for a outfit."
Rarity's eyes gleamed as she grinned, her magic already grabbing fabrics, needles, and thread. Men rarely entered her boutique, except for alterations to their suits. To make a suit from scratch, that would be fun! "Of course darling! Might I ask the occasion?"
"I'm going on a date in Canterlot! My first time for both too!" Button Mash said, excited.
"Canterlot!?" Rarity let out a gasp. "Oh my! And your first date! This tux will be ex- NO! MUST be made extra special. It will make you look handsome, dashing, charming- Do you need something?"
Button Mash had raised his hoof like he had been taught at school. He lowered his hoof. "May I please have a dress instead, miss Rarity?"
"Just Rarity will do fine, Button Mash." Rarity smacked the side of her head. "I forgot to even measure you in my excitement! But I suppose that won't matter. Do you know the measurements of your date?"
"I was hoping to get one for me, M- Rarity."
Rarity almost dropped her supplies. She gained a quizzical expression, before realizing it was rude. "Sorry, but I didn't realize you were gay, Button Mash."
"I'm not." Button Mash said. Rarity heard a slight layer of confusion to the response.
"Sorry. I meant no offence, dearie. Here, stand up there and I'll measure you. When is the date?" Rarity levitated over her measuring tapes.
"This afternoon." Button Mash said. "Sweetie Belle told me you can make a dress in an hour. That's really cool!"
Rarity let out a laugh. "With a gown for your size, it can be done in less time, dearie. Though next time, I'd like a week advance on the order. Or at least two days. Now then, any idea of what sort of dress? Or would you like me to design one?"
"Just a simple one, please. And I really don't have any idea as to the color even." Button Mash said sheepishly.
"Very well darling." Rarity levitated 9 bits out of Button Mash'es bag (Very Low Price). "Come back in an hour, and I'll be sure to have finished." Rarity would usually always make something GLAMOROUS even if told not to. But for a boy who just wants to look pretty, she would make it simple, not overdone.
"Thank you!" Button Mash said. He gave Rarity a hug, grabbed his bag of bits, and left.
