Prompt: Rarity makes gloves, but nopony knows what to use them for.
Title: Something New
Rarity glared at the elegant creation before her.
Soft, with some lace trimmings, light and delicate, a little rim of bows around the cuff.
But there’s where the similarity to a boot ended.
“What on Equestria is that?” Twilight Sparkle asked looking at the still glowing object, Rarity’s magical energy suddenly stopping as the glove gloated to the floor.
“I have no idea at all Twilight dear, I was making these divine boots and was distracted for a moment, “ Rarity replied.
“Ah-ha I see why you asked me to come at the night now, “ Said Twilight picking up a glove and trying it on her hoof, the fit was perfect, snug around her hoof keeping it warm and dry, but there were these dangly bits.
“Oh Twilight, this is just terrible, it’s like some mental block watch, “ Rarity said looking to a new piece of yellow fabric.
“Now watch, “ Rarity instructed. She magically picked up the fabric as it started to fold itself, the material unpicking and restitching itself perfectly in place.
“So it goes fine up until here, nice normal boot, “ Rarity explained, Twilight looking on with intrigue.
There was a sudden flare of magical energy from Rarity as the boot grew five dangling appendages.
Rarity stomped the floor in frustration!
“Why is this happening to me of all ponies Twilight, what terrible fate has befallen me?!” Rarity whined.
Twilight trotted across, carefully lifting the glove up in her other hoof, this was rather pretty in a way, there was a soft swirling pattern of stitching across it and down each of the dangling things.
“Maybe it’s for wings?” Twilight asked looking at it, “Keep little fillies wings straight and warm?”
Rarity rolled her eyes at the very suggestion, grinning a little at the thought of a filly Fluttershy or even more humiliating, Rainbow Dash, wearing these soft delicate designs.
“I don’t think so sweetie, “ Rarity said.
“Well I’m not even sure they are from Equestria, “ Twilight said looking more closely at the glove.
She was suddenly aware of a slightly cool draft.
Rarity shivered feeling it as well, “Sweetie Belle dear, do you have a window open there?”
Instead of Sweetie Belle, Princess Celestia came down stairs.
“Princess Celestia?!” Twilight trotted across to the princess as Rarity bowed.
“Ahh, my little ponies, should you not be asleep?” Princess Celestia asked, her vision drawn suddenly to the large pile of gloves.
Twilight shook her head, “Rarity was having some issues with her magic and I came to help.”
Princess Celestia smiled and nuzzled back against Twilight, “That’s very good of you, now I do have some bad news.”
Twilight took a step back listening attentively.
“I’m afraid Rarity, you and Twilight do have to go to bed, everything will be fine in the morning.” Princess Celestia announced simply.
Twilight looked to Rarity, but broke into a small smile, “Okay, come on Rarity, let’s get some shut eye.”
Rarity nodded, slightly disturbed by how easy her problem was going to be solved.
“Good night my little ponies, everything will be fine by morning, “ Said Princess Celestia watching as Twilight and Rarity both headed up to bed.
Waiting a few moments, Princess Celestia glared at the large pile of gloves, wrinkling her nose slightly concentrating as they all vanished into nothingness.
