Celestia was lying in bed attempting to unwind while she waited for Twilight to arrive. Twilight's arrival however was less relaxing than she had hoped.

"Celestia?" Twilight teleported into the room looking visibly annoyed.

To Celestia this was starting to be a repeat of a few weeks ago when the two agreed to start dating.

"I thought you got rid of all of them!" holding a stuffed toy aloft in her magic.

Yep, just like a few weeks ago.

"I did get rid of them, all the merchandise" in a finite tone hoping Twilight would accept that and let the matter drop.

Twilight didn't as she continued, "You still have one, I only agreed to the unicorn plushie not this one."

The plushie in question was wearing purple and dark blue complete with cape and wide brimmed hat. "Just a Mare-Do-Well plushie, not a Twilight one.", Celestia calmly stated.

Twilight just raised the hat enough for the plushie pony's horn to be visible. "Of the five of us, Fluttershy declined being in costume as she would be too obvious and Rarity declined since she didn't want to mess up her mane. I was the unicorn Mare-Do-Well."

"Maybe it's artistic license?"

Twilight just glared.

Celestia sighed, "Fine, there was a version in each of the three tribes and knowing the unicorn was you so yes I kept one."

"Why?"

At this Celestia gave a small smile, "Your friend outdid herself with the costume, simple yet striking. Quite a figure to behold. But back on topic, the dashing hero who battles monsters to save the beautiful Princess. It's sort of a part of our lives, you've saved me from Nightmare Moon, Chrysalis, and then from Discord's Plunder Seeds. So what could I say, having a plushie of my daring, dashing hero seemed fitting."

Twilight's face had turned red as Celestia spoke, "Didn't we agree that the unicorn plushie was enough." Twilight retorted back.

Celestia smirked, "We did but to imagine you as the dark, mysterious hero in a striking costume as you saved me from the beast, seemed enticing."

Twilight still red faced managed to calm down enough that she gave Celestia a mischievous grin, "Oh? You like your mysterious and dashing hero in costume?" Her horn lit and enveloped her in a flash of violent light, once cleared a changed Twilight stood there. She was once again the Mysterious Mare-Do-Well although this one was less mysterious than the name implied given that the face mask was down, her wings rested at her sides, not to mention the more skintight look certainly did not help to hide the identity of its wearer. Twilight turned to face Celestia with an almost hungry, predatory look, "Since the daring hero has slain the beast and saved the beautiful Princess, I'm certain that an appropriate reward is in order."
