//------------------------------// // Chapter two: How a Maid was Made // Story: Rainbow Dash vs A Dress // by Foal Star //------------------------------// Rarity slowly led Rainbow Dash up the stairs to her studio, where she had the pegasus sit down on a chair. The fashionista took a step back then asked, "alright, darling, here we are, now how about we look over those outfits you want to try on?" Rainbow Dash sat down as she started looking over the dozens of dresses. "Wow, there are so many outfits! I don’t know what to try on first?” The fashionista thought maybe if Rainbow Dash tried one of the dresses on, she would remove the enchanted dress, and then her friend would be back to normal. The white-coated unicorn gave a nod as she replied, "Yes, of course, please go ahead." Rainbow Dash was going to remove the enchanted dress, then for some reason, she stopped midway as a strong urge to not take it off entered her mind. The pegasus shook her head. "Nah, I think this dress is fine for now, don't you think? I...I just don't want to take it off…at least for right now." Rarity grumbled under her breath; she was hoping that would work. She then tapped a hoof to her chin, pondering how to remove the dress from her friend somehow. The fashionista's eyes then lit up as an idea came to her; the unicorn’s eyes started to glow green. The fashionista then lit her horn as she thought that if she couldn't change Rainbow Dash out of the dress, then she can instead change the dress into something else. Rarity then aimed her horn as a green aura of magic hit her friend as Rainbow Dash just watched as her dress slowly transformed in front of her eyes with the skirt shortening up. The top turned into a blue color with a prominent Wonderbolt symbol stamped on her chest area. She squeaked and got all flustered at first, shouting, "w…what happened to my dress!" "Oh, calm down, darling I just stopped the enchantment...I hope?" Rarity snickered as she looked over her friend and realized the outfit was a rather cute cheerleading uniform. "Wow, it looks amazing on you!" Rarity gulped, feeling somewhat nervous as she asked, "ok…did that help?" The daredevil mare blinked, and for a moment, she didn't say anything at first. Then the mare started to bounce up and down, getting rather excited, and started shouting, "of course, I feel great!" Rarity paused, looking absolutely baffled; luckily, Rainbow Dash wasn't acting like a stuck-up model anymore, but now she's acting like a bubbly teenager. The fashionista raised a hoof and squeaked, "Rainbow, take it easy." "I can't! I…I just have to cheer!" Rainbow squealed; she started to feel so energetic as she took out some yellow and blue pom-poms literally from out of nowhere and then started to bounce up and down, shaking them about erratically. Rarity stood back and watched snickering behind her hoof. She couldn't help but admire the mare acting so funny and adorable. But had to pause and think things over, the dress…or now cheerleading uniform obviously changed Rainbow's personality or behavior. Maybe she should try instead of making the outfit into something that reflects her friend…Rarity lit her horn once more and aimed her magic as she transformed the Cheerleading uniform; it slowly grew over Rainbow Dash, encasing her body in it. The uniform had a similar pattern as the cheerleading outfit. Rainbow Dash then looked herself over and seemed somewhat relieved, "f..finally! I'm back to normal!" "Right, normal…but sadly, you're only acting normal because the outfit reflects your usual personality." Rarity mumbled. Rainbow Dash got flustered as she snapped, "Yeah, because you're the one who placed that dress on me!" "I'm sorry, I didn't mean for that to happen," Rarity whispered under her breath; she was still feeling somewhat guilty for putting Rainbow Dash through this. The daredevil mare threw a hoof over her mane, "alright, sorry, you were under some enchantment when you placed that dress on me, right?" Rarity gave a nod as she replied, "yes, darling, I was, and it seems some residue is still affecting me." She levitated one of her simple dress designs and turned it into an elegant gown in the blink of an eye. Rainbow Dash was stunned at the power that the fashionista seemed to possess. "Wow, so…what now?" Rarity gave a deep sigh as she sat down, feeling somewhat exhausted, and explained out loud. "We wait for Twilight; she's the one who is going to come to try fixing this mess." “Forget that! I have to go to a Wonderbolt show today; I'm probably already late!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. Rarity blinked, looking somewhat confused, and asked, "Wonderbolt show? Darling, you're still in reserves; you're not a Wonderbolt yet!?" But it was too late Rainbow Dash was off, and Rarity squeaked as she ran after her before she got in trouble with her heroes. Rarity realized that she had to change Rainbow Dash's outfit to make her stop! She lit her horn and shot a beam of green light as Rainbow's flight suit was slowly transformed. The blue and yellow colors turned into black and white. The fabric itself became less of a suit and turned back to her cheerleading uniform, except it was more frilly, with the black dress covered in white lacing. The mare's hooves were now covered with white stockings, a maid's cap appeared in her mane, then a white apron was tied tightly around her midriff. The pegasus paused with a blank face as if she was in a trance. Rarity slowly walked, looking somewhat nervous as she asked, "um...Rainbow, are you ok?" Rainbow Dash blinked, feeling much more mellow. She felt like she had to answer Rarity...but she was proud to do whatever Rarity asked. The mare then performed a curtsey and replied, "yes, I am madam." "Madam?" Rarity whispered, this was odd...but she couldn't let Rainbow leave, so maybe she should roleplay a bit to keep her from leaving; Rarity's eyes flashed green as she cleared her throat, "now Rainbow, while we wait, why don't you help me clean up the place." "Of course, Madam Rarity," Rainbow Dash replied as she performed another curtsey. The mare then took out a feather duster and went off to do the fashionista's bidding. With Rarity's eyes glowing green once more, she was definitely enjoying this new Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash was busy cleaning up the dressing room organizing the various dresses on racks. She hummed a tune to herself as she did her work, shaking her cute dress about. The pegasus was enjoying her work and was having fun as well. This new feeling of working for Rarity and pleasing her was overwhelming, and right now, that's all she concentrated on doing. She went to the many ponyquins littered across the shop, dressing them up in the most gorgeous gowns and fluffing them up. She could only hope she would be able to do the same for Rarity soon. Rarity waved a hoof at the mare, making her giddy. Anything she did to please her mistress was making her happy as well. She then came fluttering down to Rarity and curtseyed, "I have done as you asked." "Yes, you did very well, Rainbow Dash," Rarity chirped; she then threw a hoof. "Come follow me; there's more work to do." "Yes, madam," Rainbow responded with another curtsey; she then trotted off after Rarity; following her mistress upstairs back to the studio where Rarity threw open the doors. There Rainbow noticed the studio was somewhat cluttered with string, yarn, lacing, ribbons and pieces of fabric thrown about. Rarity turned to her maid and clapped her hooves. "Please, can you clean up my studio?" "Yes, madam!" Rainbow replied as she performed another curtsey; she then went to work sweeping the floor, taking out a feather duster, and dusting away any speck of dust left on the work tables. Once finished, she then got out a mop and bucket and scrubbed the floor clean in a blink of an eye. Rarity's eyes glowed green watching Rainbow Dash work. She could just imagine all the extra time she would have to work on new outfits and dress designs with all these chores, not in her way. Rainbow Dash didn't seem to mind as she was humming cleaning up the studio, and...she did look rather adorable in that uniform to boot. Rainbow Dash then fluttered down to bow before Rarity and whispered meekly, "I polished your workspace, madam Rarity." "Yes, you did, and you did very well," Rarity chimed as she walked about and looked things over, seeing that her workspace was now spotless. Rainbow Dash wasn't just efficient; she was fast; what would take most ponies an hour to do or two she somehow cleaned the place in a matter of minutes. However, she then turned to see Rainbow Dash was looking quite the mess from all that cleaning. Rarity eyes went wide! She can give Rainbow a makeover! She took a seat and dusted it off, "come here, Rainbow I think we should give you a makeover!" "Yes, madam Rarity," Rainbow Dash whispered daintily as she sat down and waited patiently for Rarity to begin. The fashionista brought out some scissors, a makeup kit, and a hooficure set. She then began to work by first removing the stockings and then scrubbing Rainbow's right forehoof with a pumice stone making them as soft and dainty as she could, then smoothed them out with some hoof that was shining. Rainbow twitched and giggled, seeming to be enjoying the extra attention. Rarity then went about going over the other three hooves, smoothing them over with the pumice first, then applying the wax over them. When she was finished with the hooficure, Rainbow's hooves sparkled like diamonds, and then it was time for the face. Rarity went about taking a pair of tweezers as she whispered, "hold still." "Yes, madam," the former daredevil replied. She stood as still as a statue as Rarity, with extra care, plucked the eyelashes then applied the false lashes rather carefully. She then went about applying light makeup under her eyes and cheeks. Then applied lipstick to Rainbow's mouth. The pegasus's cheeks flushed pink; feeling so flustered at being treated like this by her madam, she asked, "is there anything I can do to help?" "Oh, just flutter your eyelashes…." Rarity whispered. Rainbow did as her mistress asked flashing her eyelids a few times. This made Rarity squeal in delight as she clapped her hooves. "Oh, you're just gorgeous! Now for the mane!" The fashionista took some curling irons and went to work styling Rainbow Dash's mane and tail, curling out the rainbow mane ever so gently and making sure it was extra bouncy. She then went to preen Rainbow's wings. The pegasus squealed and kicked as Rarity picked out the odd bent feather and scrubbed the dirt in between the feathers. Rainbow Dash felt so honored and loved to be treated in such a way by her mistress. Rarity was intent on cleaning up Rainbow's unkempt wings. However, she grumbled to herself how the old Rainbow was such a slob and should definitely get her wings preened more often. After the preening was finished, the fashionista then took out some perfume and sprayed her new maid, making her smell like a basketful of berries. Rarity then reapplied the stockings over Rainbow Dash's hooves once more and, with an elegant touch, applied slight padding of powder on each of Rainbow's cheeks. "Alright, stand up, please," Rarity asked as Rainbow stood up, crossing her forelegs across each other as she felt a wave of bashfulness overwhelm her. Rarity took out a camera and started to snap pictures. "Yes, very good pose darling, how about raising your hooves with your feather duster in your mouth?" Rarity asked. Rainbow Dash did as her madam ordered, standing up on her back hooves and flaring out her wings. She moaned, feeling her softened and cleaned wings, and took advantage by spreading them out, showing off the individual feathers. "Now, show me your rump!" Rarity cheered, and Rainbow did as her mistress ordered. She bent over and shook her rump at Rarity, lifting up her skirt, along with her tail and whisking them back and forth. Rarity’s cheeks flushed pink, unable to contain her excitement seeing Rainbow Dash acting so sexy. Then from almost out of nowhere, Sweetie Belle popped into the room and shouted, "Hey, I'm home!" Rainbow stood up quickly, as did Rarity, both looking flustered as the little filly slowly walked over with a surprised expression on her face seeing Rainbow Dash wearing the odd maid uniform and snickered behind a hoof. "Oh, Rainbow, what are you wearing?" The daredevil mare blinked as she had this confused look on her face; she replied, "it's my uniform." "Huh?" Sweetie Belle asked as she was now confused. Rarity came over and held up a hoof and squeaked, "look! This is just a roleplay, Sweetie Belle! Rainbow...um...is playing a maid...for...um a play." "A play! Oh, is Cheerilee directing?" Sweetie Belle asked. Rainbow Dash was then somewhat confused as she was going to say something. Still, Rarity placed a hoof over the daredevil mare's mouth and ordered, "quiet now, Rainbow." "Ri...right…" the daredevil mare stammered. Rarity looked over to Sweetie Belle and asked, "um... it's a play that'll be performed in Canterlot; now then, why don't we go downstairs and have something to eat?" Rainbow clapped her hooves and squeaked, "oh, that sounds splendid! I would love to cook!" She fluttered downstairs with her mistress, and they then went to the kitchen, where Rarity sat down with a somewhat baffled Sweetie Belle. Rainbow Dash tightened her apron as she started to grab various ingredients preparing to make a soup for her two masters. Twilight was coming back after doing a lot of research, and she was shaking her head, "I…I think that the only way for us to remove the enchantment is to remove the dre…." She looked over the boutique to see it sparkling clean. She then smelt something delicious as she slowly walked across the boutique and found an odd sight. Rainbow Dash was wearing a maid's uniform, cooking up some soup with Rarity and Sweetie Belle sitting down at the table and waving their hooves. Twilight got so furious as she slammed a hoof and shouted, "what did you do to Rainbow Dash!?" Rarity held out an empty teacup; Rainbow Dash quickly fluttered over and gently poured her mistress a cup. Rarity then threw a hoof to Twilight as she replied, "calm down, darling, she's fine; I had to turn the dress into a maid’s uniform to keep her from leaving." Twilight was seething through her nostrils and snapped, "you shouldn't be doing this to your friends! How could you!?" Rainbow Dash flew between Twilight and Rarity with her wings spread out; she then raised her head and snapped, "don't you dare harm Mistress Rarity!" Twilight took a step back, actually being a bit scared, and tried to explain. "Look, I'm not trying to harm her, but she needs to fix this!" Rarity groaned as she rubbed her head. "Y..your right, the..the evil enchantment from before is still in me…but I...I want Rainbow Dash to stay like this…." Twilight looked over at Rarity and snapped, "you want to keep her enslaved!? Seriously!" "N..n...no, your right...I... I'll turn her back to as normal as I possibly can…" The fashionista mumbled as she lit her horn once more. The green aura came out, and she turned Rainbow's maid uniform back to a Wonderbolt flight suit. Rainbow Dash stood there in the kitchen, looking somewhat confused as she shook her head. "Ugh, wh...what happened?" Rarity just continued to sip her tea as Sweetie Belle explained, "I'm not exactly sure, but I think my sister turned you into a cute maid." "She did what!" Rainbow roared; she turned to Rarity, who stammered, ""yes! But it was to keep you here, but then…the enchantments made me go crazy, and I went overboard!" "Still, I'm so going to get you for this!" The pegasus shouted in pure anger. Rainbow Dash then turned her attention to Twilight and asked, "did you find anything to get this enchanted clothing off me!" "No…y…you have to take it off yourself…I think once you do, then the enchantment should break." Twilight explained to her friend. Rainbow Dash scoffed, "well, that's easy enough." She then turned to the flight suit...it was without a doubt a genuine flight suit, and it looked relatively cool...so cool that she couldn't bring herself to take it off! Rainbow Dash pulled at her mane and shouted, "ugh can't you make this thing something I would hate? But doesn’t make me go crazy!?” Rarity sighed as she tapped a hoof to her chin. "sure, but if I change it, it also changes your personality…" Then an idea came through her as she lit her horn and sent the magic as the clothing turned into a bathing suit with a wonderbolt style, crotch bra, and a tank top. Rainbow Dash, for some reason, felt so embarrassed and squeaked as she then ripped off the outfit and threw the clothing in the air. Twilight took the opportunity to blast them with her horn and turned the enchanted clothes into ash. "There! It's over!" Twilight cheered as she and Rarity both ran over and hugged Rainbow Dash. After they broke the embrace, Twilight then turned to Rarity and asked, "what about your enchantment? Is it gone?" "I…I think it went away with the dress." She then threw her gaze over to Rainbow Dash. "I am truly sorry for what I did to you while you were under that dress's spell. Is there any way I can repay you?" Rainbow Dash tapped a hoof to her chin as she pondered on how to get back at Rarity. Then an evil smile slowly spread over her face as she snickered, "I think there is…." She turned to Twilight, "for enslaving me and making me all girly, you can have Rarity be a maid for a day. I'm sure you need help keeping that castle clean." Rarity squeaked as she shouted, "wait! A...A whole day! Seriously!?" Twilight gave a nod, "oh yes, and Rainbow Dash can supervise your duties; I think that's a fair punishment." Rarity pouted as she turned to Sweetie Belle, just sitting on her chair laughing at the whole thing. "Ugh, fine…" Rarity growled as she got up and stomped off at the very least; she has some rather adorable pictures of Rainbow Dash in that maid uniform...that makes whatever Rainbow Dash and Twilight have in store for her worth any punishment they can dish out.
