Sweetie Belle led the way out of the basement, with Scootaloo and Apple Bloom following behind, each carrying both ends of the trunk. Upon reaching Rarity's room, Sweetie Belle immediately dove into the trunk, opening it and pulling out various clothing items. Apple Bloom followed, and giggled with glee as she held a prop sword in one hand and a pirate hat in another.

"Scoots, take a look at this,” Sweetie Belle said, holding up a dress.

It was a Edwardian style dress, royal blue in color, with lighter blue stripes going down it. Full-sleeved, with a drawstring bodice, and lace cuffs, the dress had a matching bonnet connected to a light blue fabric and blue high heel boots.

Scootaloo stared. It was actually quite pretty.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" urged Apple Bloom "Go try it on, you'll love it."

"I'm not so sure,” Scootaloo admitted "Dresses are not really my thing."

Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes. "Come on, we're not asking you to wear it forever. Besides, didn't you wear one at the Fall Formal?"

Hesitantly, Scootaloo agreed. "Geez, alright Sweetie."

The other two girls came over and helped her get into the dress. Sweetie Belle smoothed out her hair and fixed the bonnet on, while Apple Bloom brushed away non-existent wrinkles.

"Viola, you're done," Sweetie Belle announced, leading Scootaloo to the mirror.

"Totally suits you," added Apple Bloom.

"Oh, wow," Scootaloo murmured "So awesome."

Not too tight or too loose, the dress was a perfect fit. Scootaloo loved the way the skirt moved around her legs, not restricting any movement. The skirt fell just above her ankles, ensuring she wouldn't trip if she was walking or running.

While Scootaloo admired herself in the mirror, Sweetie Belle had gotten dressed in a pink one with ruffles, and Apple Bloom in a mauve and gold one with frills.

"Whoa, you girls look good," commented Scootaloo.

"I know right?" Sweetie Belle squealed, clapping her hands and twirling around.

"Now, we match," Apple Bloom said smugly.

They brought their hands together for their signature high-five.

"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS PRINCESSES, YAY!"
