Rainbow Dash arrived home just as her parents opened the door to her room. 

"Rainbow Dash! We have been calling you downstairs for the last five minutes!" said her father.
"sorry dad," Rainbow Dash made her down stairs, to see and try on the new dress her parents had chosen for her.

It was pink. It was girly. It was the most horrible dress Dash had ever seen! She felt like she might puke!

Rainbow Dash tried very hard not to show her feelings. She needed her parents to be in a good mood.

"Thanks mum,"-Rainbow Dash decided to use false flattery-"you look gorgeous today, and dad, your tie really makes you look stunning,"
"Why, thank you Rainbow," said her parents, slightly taken aback, but pleased none the less.
"The thing is"-started Rainbow-"I am supposed to take a friend, and I was wondering if I could take Fluttershy, Please?"

The magic word had a good effect, but Rainbow Dash's parents still weren't shore.
"It's supposed to be for a young stallion," 
"Are you shore you want to invite that orphan filly? I doubt she has anything to wear..." slowly said Rainbows parents.

"YES! I mean, yes thank you. As for a dress, I can lend her one of mine, I mean, I could even give her one," said Rainbow Dash.
"RAINBOW, YOU are NOT to give away one of your expensive dresses! Though I suppose you could lend her one for the evening," the parents sighed, as Rainbow rushed off to tell her friend.
"COME RIGHT BACK, AS SOON AS YOU HAVE TOLD HER!!" shouted Rainbow Daring, (rainbow dash's dad).

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were in the hair dressers.
"I can't believe I can't just wear my hair loose," complained Rainbow Dash.
"Personally, I quite like having my hair done," replied Fluttershy.
" That is because you're to scared to say anything else, and you're to kind," but seeing Fluttershy's face Rainbow added; "But that's not  bad thing, it's what makes you you,"
At that moment the hairdresser put the mirror in front of Dash. Rainbow Dash nearly threw up, while Fluttershy thanked the hair dresser for her style.
"Are you all right Rainbow Dash, you look ill, oh I hope your not sickening for something..." 
"I'll be fine as soon as he takes the mirror away" 

Next they had to go to the dress makers to have their dresses properly fitted.
Fluttershy loved her dress, well Dash's dress, that Fluttershy was wearing. It was a soft blue colour, and suited her to a T. The dress Rainbow dash was wearing on the other hand... It soo did not suit the tomboy Pegasus. It was a deep pink, with lots of lace and ribbons. 

Rainbow Dash was trying not to scream at her reflection.

"Girls, it's time to go!" called her mother.
