When Rarity is invited to a fancy party, Rainbow Dash surprisingly feels the need to go with her, though not able to explain why, herself. Rarity laughs at the notion, but challenges Rainbow to make the effort anyway.

Now, Rainbow knows that she's not a high-class mare. So, seeking aid, she turns to the princess of love herself for aid. What follows will make her question her life choices.

Contains: beautification, personality adjustment.

You know it's a good sign when the first paragraph makes you laugh.

But anyway, this was a good, albeit rough-around-the-edges story. Concept and execution were good, I liked most of the jokes, etc. My main issue was that you were kinda overusing parentheses. Once in a while is fine, but in excess it gets a little distracting. It didn't detract from the fic too much, though.

Have a Like. :)

When I read that one of the subjects of the fic was "personality adjustment", I thought the comedy slant would be more against Dash.

But I still got curious enough to read, and I"m glad I did.

I was leery of the "personality adjustment" part, but I gave the story a chance and enjoyed it.

"I truly appreciate your coming here, darling." Rariity said, pouring herself another cup, savouring the smell of it before daintily taking a sip.

*Rarity

Reading the letter, Rainbow felt a sudden urge to go along. "Bring a friend, huh. You lnow, Rarity, I could fill that spot."

*know

The two pegasi flew along to what appeared to be a large cloud house. "This can be considered my studio." Cadence explained. My own little high-rise. Very high." she chuckled at her little joke. Rainbow just rolled her eyes. "I needed to come here anyway, to refresh the sky magic on it." she added

Cadence is an alicorn.

Entering the fluffy building, Rainbow saw a motherlode of fashion that would make R" rity faint.

*Rarity

Shortly thereafter, the two pegasi walked over to a closet.

Cadence is an alicorn.

"''m sure we can find something that will suit you in here." Cadence said, a bit smugly.

*I'm

The airy dress was a multi toned blue, with cloudy portions of pearlescent rainbow colour mixed in. It was beautiful, but ould allow freedom of movement. It was form-fitting without sacrificing space for her wings. (1)

*would

"These will stay on until you decide to take them off. They're enchanted to not impede your freedom of movement, and in fact will sting something fierce should you need to defend yourself. The dress itself is enhanced to make you stronget and tougher, as well as more graceful."

*stronger

A light blue bow and some dark blue eyeshadow (along with some false eyelashes) later, the transformation was complete. Then the dres was donned once more.

*dress

When Rainbow looked in the nearby mirror, her eyes wwidened. "Is that... me?!"

*widened

Cadence nodded, smiling. "You know, with your frame and your unique palette, you might make a good model Maybe you'd consider working with me?"

Add a period between model and Maybe

Rainbow considered that for a moment. Despite not exactly being a mare of fashion, se couldn't deny the results. She was undoubtedly stunning. "I'll... think about that." she replied at length.

*she

Cadence sweetened the deal a bit. "Maybe we cn give Rarity some competition."

*can

Cadence's horn began to glow, a subtle hypnosis spell being cas. "You are Prisma Glow. You are a beauty that would grab any stallion's attention. Your presence demands attention; you exude confidence. You will be high class, graceful and confident in your own beauty, yet be strong, independant and smart without sacrificing your loyal core or your memory of who you are - er, were. You are a crouching tigress in love and war; at once beautiful and ferocious. When i clap, you will awaken as all that I have described."

Into the room strode a blue mare wearing a blue dress. She and it were covered with decorative pearlescent rainbows. She walked down the hall with her eyes shut, as if she owned the place. Wnd judging by the reactions of the other high-class ponies, it was working.She stopped to wink at a few gawking stallions, who promptly fainted.

*When
Also needs a space between working. and She

The mare strutted over to the duo. "Good evening, darlings. Prrisma Glow. Delighted to make your acquaintance." she said in a smooth Mid-Atlantic accent. "Your friend Rainbow Dash (turns out I'm a distant cousin) found me in Cloudsddale and gave me this." She brandished the pass in her right wing. "She so wanted to come, but said that you thought her too... how you say? Unrefined? Rough?" she continued, pretty much shoving Rarity's earlier words in her face.

*Cloudsdale

She then moved past them to the table that was set out. Takind a glass of the available drink, she sipped at it gingerly. Then she said, "Blueberry and currant. With a hint of mint as well. Aged... ten or twelve years, at least. Divine. Quite strong, too."

*Taking

Rarity's smile dropped by a fraction, but she otherwise gave no sign of being perturbed. "Indeed? Judging by that marvellous dress you're wearing, she's quite a artiste."

*an

As the first assailant swiped at her, she ducked and countered with an uppercut, sending the gryphon flying into a nearby column. The next attempted a diving kick, but that was just as easily countered. The gryphon was slammed into the hard floor. The next two came from opposite sides. A simple jump caused a comical collision between them. Using her elevated ground, Prisma slammed into the next gryphon with her hind hooves, blocking two more and using her enhanced strenght to slam them together in midair.
