//------------------------------// // 19. #DressesInStyle // Story: Ciderfest BOAS APP Stories: 86?! // by Janicethelight //------------------------------// Story You and Rainbow Dash have been out and about, Dashie showing you some new moves to impress the Wonderbolts with. She looks over to the skyline as she finishes a trick and sighs, "Sorry. I would love to show you even more of my awesomeness, but I promised Rarity I would help her with some new fashion line." You raise an eyebrow in Rainbow's direction and she murmurs, "I lost a bet with Applejack…" while looking away, "but I am a mare of my word. Hey, wanna come along? Having you there could make it a bit less boring!" You nod, "Great. Let's go. I'm late enough as it is. Race ya there!" You race to Carousel Boutique. Rainbow Dash beats you easily, and waits for you like a good sport. She opens the doors once you're by her side, and her mouth drops to the floor. You look to see the reason for her shock. There, standing perfectly still while talking calmly with Rarity is none other than Rainbow Dash! Or, at least, a pony who resembles Rainbow Dash. Her blue coat is teal. Her colorful hair is pink, purple, orange, and green instead of an actual rainbow. Her Cutie Mark is a rainbow between two clouds. Lastly, she is an earth pony. Rainbow blinks. "Rarity, what is this? I thought I was supposed to help you with some fashion thing. Who's the new girl?!" "Hello, darling. My name is Rainbow Dash!" The pony nodded. "What?! That's impossible! My name's Rainbow Dash!" Dashie proclaims, "Wow. I mean, I knew I was awesome, but having somepony pretend to be me! I'm more awesome than I thought!" "No, Rainbow Dash. She isn't pretending to be you. Her name is also Rainbow Dash!" Rarity started. "Yes. I found this exquisite page floating around. It said I could change anything. All I really wanted was to meet somepony as fabulous as I am and here we are!" Earth pony Rainbow Dash explains. "And I am so very honored that you came to my boutique! I do love our Dashie, but she doesn't have the love for my work that you do. I dare say, it is a nice breath of fresh air!" Rarity grins. "What?!" Dashie gasps. "Wh-would you rather this…this…bootleg over me?!" "I never said that, Dashie. I only said that I quite enjoy being able to talk about my passions with the other Rainbow Dash here." Rarity sighs. Dashie huffs. The other Rainbow Dash looks between the two and then notices you. She walks over to you, eyes downcast, "I only wanted to meet a pony as excited about fashion as I am, but perhaps I've overstayed my welcome. I would so love to stay and get to know this Rarity and this Rainbow Dash. What do you think I should do?" [CHOICE] Should this new Rainbow Dash stay? > Encourage her to stay. (Chaos) > Encourage her to go home. (Hero) [ENDING A: CHAOS] You think it over for a moment. "I think you should stay!" You decide. "You're right. This Rainbow Dash hasn't really had a chance to get to know me! Once she does, we might be the best of friends! I shouldn't give up before I've even begun to try. Thank you!" She nods before going back to Rarity and Dashie. (+1 page for Chaos) [ENDING B: HERO] You think it over for a moment. "You should go home." You decide. Rainbow Dash sighs, "Yes. You're right. My friends would miss me very much back home. I did get to meet this Rarity l, after all, and I should be happy with that much." She holds out the page. "For you, darling! As a thank you for helping me decide." "Woah!" You add as the lighter Rainbow Dash starts to go off. "I didn't mean you had to leave right now. You two seem like you were enjoying each other's company. What if you enjoy lunch together first?" Rainbow Dash smiles. "I do so like the way you think!" You and Dashie watch from afar as Rarity and Rainbow Dash chat over tea and cucumber sandwiches. Once the two finish enjoying their visit, Rainbow Dash gives you the page. You hold the page, and the moment the other Rainbow Dash lets go, she disappears. (+1 page for Heroes)
