Let's try this Again

Dress to Impress

Dear Twilight,

It was originally planned that I was supposed to register for classes in the spring semester.  These plans have changed.  I have had a long conversation with the Dean of Students, and it was decided that I could transfer to Solar University in the fall semester.  It was a long discussion, but I have used my charming personality, with a side of brown-nosing, to convince Celestia for me to join.  I can't wait to finally meet you and all your friends, especially this so called "lover boy," whose story has inspired me to write a fan fiction based on his predicament.

You don't have to worry about picking me up at the airport, I'll just take a cab.  By the time you read this letter, I'll probably be a mile in the sky.  I have all the things I need for my dorm coming with me.   I haven't been assigned a dorm yet, but hopefully it will be close to yours.  Like I said before, I can't wait to finally meet you in person.  

Sincerely, Jared

P.S. I'll be at the Solar Festival on August the sixteenth.


Twilight could not contain the excitement she was feeling at that moment.  She felt as if she was about to explode with happiness.  To be able to finally meet her penpal, whom she had been talking to for almost a year, was as valuable to her as gold or even a good book.  So many questions were flying through her head right now.

I can't believe after all this time I'll get to meet him.  I wonder what he will look like, or what he likes to wear. What will he think of me?  Can I impress?  I better pay Rarity a visit before he gets here.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on her door.

"Coming!" she yelled.  She then opened the door to find her brother Spike standing in the hall.

"Spike!  Come in I have some good news." Twilight opened the door wider, to let Spike walk in.  Spike was about average for his height.  Like Applejack, his eyes were an emerald green and his hair was the same color.  He kept his hair a disheveled mess and wore a purple hoodie with a green trim.

"What's up, Twi?" Spike asked his older sibling.

"You know that boy I've been talking to for the past year?" Twilight asked.

"Of course.  He's the guy who will enroll in the spring, right?"

"Yes, but I just got a letter from him, and look what it says." Twilight hands Spike her letter, and he reads over it.

"He was able to get enrolled for the fall?"

"I know!  I can hardly believe it."

"Cool, can't wait to meet him."

"Anyway, what brings you here?"

"I was just hanging with Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle, when I decided that I would pay my sister a visit while they got ready for the festival."

"You four are inseparable."

"Heh, you might be right."

"Well, I was just about to head to Rarity's dorm, to get my hair done. Wanna..."

"Yes!" Spike interrupted.  Spike has always had feelings for Rarity since he was young, so he tried to spend as much time with her as he possibly could.

Rarity on the other hand, doesn't quite feel the same for him as he does for her.  She knows how he feels for her but for some reason doesn't tell him that she is not interested in a serious relationship.

"Then let's head over there then," exclaimed Twilight.



"So he and you are both going to the Solar Festival together?" asked Rarity.

"Yep, but Ah reckon that he'll invite Shy if he hasn't already.  So probably no alone time with em."

"I see," Rarity responded while touching her chin, "now Applejack, I'm going to need you to promise me something."

"What's that?"

"I don't want you to have any hard feelings towards Fluttershy."

"Ah won't."

"This doesn't mean I won't help you."  There was then a knock at the door, so Rarity gets up and answers it.  

"Hello Twilight, it's good to see you here," Rarity says ecstatically, "what brings you by my humble abode?"

"I was wondering if you could do something with my hair."

"Hmmm.  I think that I will curl it to look like mine.  How does that sound?"

"Sounds like a great idea," she says with enthusiasm, "I was also wondering if you could let Spike come in."

"Applejack, can Spike and Twilight come in?"

"Ah don't see why not," Applejack responded."

"You may come in then." Rarity then pushes the door open more, so they can come in.

"Just take a seat in that chair over there, darling,"  Rarity said while pointing to the desk with a large, ovel-shaped mirror, "Spike, you can sit wherever you want."

"Thanks, Rarity," Spike said in a happy tone.  Being around her made him happy.

"So Spike, where is Sweetie and her friends?" Rarity asked.

"They wanted to make sure they looked good for the Solar Festival, so they headed to Sweetie's house to change and put make up on."

"That's good," Rarity said happily, "but the better question is, why has Twilight come to get her hair done?"

"Well," Twilight began, "remember my friend that I have been talking to for the past year?"

"Yes, the one who is coming in the spring?"

"He's somehow managed to register for classes in the fall, so he'll be coming early."

"That's great!"

"I know!  He said that he would be here on the sixteenth, so he could attend the Solar Festival."

"So you want to impress this boy?  Looks like I'm adding another to the list."

"Another?"

"I'm helping Applejack impress another boy as well."

"I see.  Anyway, I really want to impress this boy, so could you make my hair look really good?"

"I'll do better than that, darling," she said while pulling out her make up kit.

"Oh dear."
