In some alternate universe, Fluttershy wouldn’t have given up her modeling career. She would have risen to great heights, quickly ditching that eyesore of a Photo Finish to languish in obscurity while she took all the admiring eyes with her.
In that same universe she would be the star of every fashion show, and have designers cling to her fetlocks, begging her to be the debut model for their newest designs. Not to mention the fact that she would have mares and stallions alike trailing after her, clamoring for her more personal affections.
Alternate Rarity wouldn’t stand a chance. She’d be swept off her hooves and fall into the same trap as all the others, wanting Fluttershy for her status rather than the caring pony she was.
With a shake of her head she cleared the out the gloomy thoughts, making sure she could fully enjoy what was to come.
Preparations for this splendid event had taken a lot of energy, too. Firstly, long hours of begging, pleading, and enticing her marefriend with little kisses and naughty promises, before Fluttershy finally revealed her secret desires. After that, the realisation and adaptation that came with having a partner in her creative process, and the limits it imposed. And finally, persuading Fluttershy to do what, in an alternate universe, came natural to her.
Rarity smiled in anticipation when the curtains were drawn apart and her Fluttershy stepped out in a hoof-knit dress, designed by Rarity, created by Fluttershy herself; the only dress of its kind. She looked marvelous.
Rarity was happy she lived in this universe. She couldn’t imagine a life without Fluttershy and her wonderful little secrets. Or maybe she just didn’t want to.
