//------------------------------// // 14. Getting pretty with Fabrina Fox // Story: Another Summer with the Enchantimals // by Brian Sheil //------------------------------// At her house in Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack looked at the outfit Rarity brought over. It was a short sleeve Kelly green shirt, red skirt going below the knees, and a pair of golden yellow platform shoes. "That's a nice dress you have there, sis." Apple Bloom praised. "Thanks, Apple Bloom." Applejack replied. "As ya know, I got invited to a celebration at Camp Everfree." "Is that where this comes in?" "Yup. Even someone like me needs to dress up for an event like this. That's why Rarity made this dress for me." Soon, Granny Smith called from downtown. "Applejack. Can you come down here for a minute?" "Sure thing, Granny." Applejack said. The honorable farm girl came down and saw Granny Smith with a tan skinned girl with red hair. She wore a white and dark pink top, flowery skirt, and teal shoes. This girl has fox ears and a reddish brown tail. "Fabrina Fox!" Applejack gasped. "What're y'all doing here?" "I was told about this celebration at Camp Everfree." Fabrina explained. "And, I was told that you have been invited." "That I am. My friend, Rarity, sent over my outfit I'm going to wear." "This is where I come in. I'm going to help you get ready." Applejack started to get nervous. She remembered what happened when Rarity went overboard putting make up on her. "Calm yourself, Applejack." Fabrina assured. "I heard what happened with your little make-up disaster. I'm not going to go overboard." "You're not?" Applejack replied. "No. Now, let's go to your bathroom. Your hair looks a little messy." "Probably from working hard around here." In the bathroom. Fabrina started washing Applejack hair. She used shampoo that's already in the bathroom, so there won't be any nasty side effects. As soon as Applejack’s hair was dried, she noticed that her hair is a little curly. "Not bad." Applejack praised. "Ya did a pretty good job, Fabrina." "Thank you." Fabrina replied as she suddenly looked at Applejack’s fingernails. "Your nails look a little ragged. Is that from working in this farm too?" "I'm afraid so." "Don't worry. I can fix that." Minutes later, Fabrina started to file Applejack’s fingernails. Meanwhile, a small red fox wearing a golden headpiece was filing her toenails. But, the fox's fur was starting to tickle her foot. "Easy there, Frisk." Applejack said, trying not to giggle. "I'm ticklish." "Applejack," Fabrina chimed in, "please hold still." "Sorry, Fabrina. The fur of your bestie rubbing on my foot tickles." "That's what many of the Royals back on Royal Isle say. That's why our manipedis take a little while." Later that night, the even at Camp Everfree was underway. Applejack wore the outfit Rarity made for her. She also wore a white version of her well known hat with dark brown under the rim. And, she has on candy apple red fingernail polish. "Oh my goodness." Rarity gasped, looking at her farmer friend. "I knew Fabrina Fox and Frisk are good. But, I never expected this." "I'm very impressed myself." Applejack replied. "Frisk filed my toenails so I can slip into these shoes you brought me." As Applejack mingles with her friends, Rarity looks at her outfit and her hairstyle. Fabrina does an amazing job. I wonder if she can give me some tips.
