It was Saturday. The day after Black Friday. Everyone in the school would be at the mall to buy dresses and suits for the upcoming dance. The Mane Six were checking out some dresses at Beauti Dressè, one of the most popular boutiques in Canterlot.
Sunset and Fluttershy started trying on dresses first.
"I honestly don't understand why we have to be here. I have materials at home so I can make you all the dresses you want!" Rarity complained, stting down on a bench in the dressing room.
"Rarity, these are dresses done by professionals. Not to say you're not one, but we don't want ya to spend yer time makin' us dresses, Sugarcube," Applejack said, patting Rarity on the back.
"But I'm an up and coming fashionista! I MUST make dresses!" Rarity said, looking at the rack full of dresses. She walked towards it and picked a dress out. It was a sparkling purple with fake gems sewn in on the top half, a purple belt separating the two halves.
"This dress, I could do better. It needs more glammer! And possibly more ruffles," She ssid, looking at the long dress.
"Not everything has to be short, Rarity. You gotta learn how to accept others' fashion styles," Rainbow said, sitting next to Applejack.
"What do you guys think?" Fluttershy asked. It was a strapless pink dress matching her hair color, with a bit of poofiness at the bottom of the dress.
"It's just not..well, you, darling," Rarity said. She quickly ran to pick out another dress for her.
"So Pinkie, is the ballroom ready yet?" Applejack asked, taling her hat off.
"Almost! All we need to do is get some more tables, food, and flowers!" Pinkie said.
"Well, ya already know I'll provode the food, Sugarcube," Applejack said.
"So, do any of you have dates yet?" Fluttershy asked. Everyone shook their heads.
"No one's asked me yet," Sunset said, crossing her arms," But I understand why."
"Don't worry, Sunset. You won't be lonely. I'll be with you throughout the whole dance," Fluttershy said, smiling.
"Thanks, Flutters. I really appreciate it," Sunset said, smiling as well.
"Welp, I may not have a date to the dance, but I do know who might have one," Applejack said, looking straight at Rainbow Dash.
"Me? Oh, no no no. Me and whole team are going together in our soccer uniforms. It may not be fancy, but it's better than nothin'," Rainbow said.
"I'll bet ya five bucks that she'll be asked to dance by Soarin," Applejack whispered to Pinkie. She laughed.
"You're on!" Pinkie said cheerfully.
"What? What'd she say?" Rainbow asked, concerned.
"Don't worry about it, Rainbow. You'll figure it out out sooner or later," Applejack said, laughing.
"Okay! I'm back with another dress!" Rarity said. She gave the dress to Fluttershy and pushed her into one of the stalls.
"How 'bout you, Rarity? Got anyone to take you to the dance?" Applejack asked.
"Well, um, no. Not exactly. I mean some people asked me but I rejected them gently, of course," Rarity said nervously.
"Why? Got someone else in mind who you wanna take to the dance?" Sunset asked.
"Um...noo?" Rarity said, slightly blushing.
"Ooh! Someone has a crush!" Pinkie said, poking Rarity in the sides.
"What?! That's preposterous! I do not have a crush!" Rarity said, crossing her arms yet still blushing.
"She sure does!" Rainbow said.
"Oh shut up, Rainbow! We all know you have a crush on Soarin!" Rarity said, her cheeks getting brighter.
"Don't change the subject, Rarity! Even I know it's obvious that you have a crush on Thunderlane!" Rainbow said.
"What do you guys think?" Fluttershy asked, twirling around in her dress.
"I think it's nice, Flutters! You're rockin that light pink!" Pinkie said, checking out the dress Fluttershy had on.
"Well, I could could make it look a little bit better, but other than that, I think it looks great on you," Rarity said.
"Thanks Rarity. And maybe you should ask him out," Fluttershy said.
"Who?" Rarity asked.
"THUNDERLANE," Everyone said and groaned.
"But the girl is not supposed to ask out the boy! It should be the other way around. It just feels awkward to me," Rarity said, rubbing her arm.
"Trust me, Rarity. He's not gonna ask you out. His life will revolve around sports unless a girl walks in and takes him," Rainbow said. Everyone looked at her."What? I see him on the field. He's very competitive."
"Ugh! Fine! I'll ask him out, Alright?" Rarity said, getting very annoyed.
"Well, we got one out of the way. Next?" Applejack said.
"How about you and Caramel? I see the way he looks at you," Rarity said, smiling at her. Everyone oooed after she said that.
"Y'all shut your mouths. Nothin's goin' on with me and him. We're just friends," Applejack said, slightly blushing.
"What? I think you guys would make a cute couple!" Pinkie said, smiling.
"Just like you and Cheese?" Rainbow said, smirking.
"Welp, that's my cue to go now! See you guys later!" Pinkie said. She grabbed her stuff and started out the door, but Rarity blocked the doorway.
"No, Pinkie. You're going to tell us what's going on between you and Cheese. Then we'll tell you all you need to know. Okay?" Rarity said.
"What are you talking about? There's nothing going on between me and Cheese," Pinkie said.
"She doesn't know," Rarity said.
"Know about what?" Pinkie asked, confused.
"Sit down, Pinkie. We're gonna talk to ya about somethin' you probably don't know much about," Applejack said.
"What is it?" Pinkie asked.
"Love," Everyone said in unison.
