The stage had returned to its more somber appearance after the extravaganza that was Trixie's entrance. But now, the stage calm, the lights at a regular shine, and an ivory pony with a velvety purple mane taking her seat on the couch; the show was ready. Twilight Sparkle clacked the interview index cards against her podium while smiling at the audience. "Great to have you all back. Today, we're joined by the most fashion forward pony in all of Equestria, Rarity!" the announcement was met by the hoots and cat calls of the audience while Rarity gave them all a magnificent wave. "How are you feeling Rarity? Are you ready for the show?"

"Of course. But tell me, who will be doing my interview?" Rarity questioned in response.

"Well, it was a tight run… But Fluttershy won the spot to Blueblood by one vote."

"Splendid! Imagine how horrible the show would've been with him here?" Rarity laughed as Fluttershy had moved out from backstage and took her place next to Twilight Sparkle.

"Yeah, I bet. Alright Fluttershy, you know how this works, so good luck," saying no more, Twilight moved off of the stage to leave Rarity and Fluttershy alone.

Fluttershy shifted nervously as she shuffled with the index cards that held the questions. "Darling," Rarity spoke up, "I'm the one being interviewed. Just relax."

"A-Alright. Well, uh, your first question comes from QuickSilverPaul: 'Have you read the parody of the 'Cupcakes' fic, Dresses? If so, what was your reaction?'"

"I'm sorry, dear; I can't say that I have. Fluttershy, have you?"

"Twilight showed me something with that name… It wasn't happy…"

"Oh… Well, carry on with the questions then."

"'Which of your friends (Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Twilight or Applejack) do you think has the best mane and coat? And none of that 'They're all equally magnificent, I couldn't possibly choose!' stuff either.'"

"I would never say that. A pony's coat is their signature style. But, it goes without my saying that our dear Fluttershy has the most beautiful mane and coat. Second to none."

Fluttershy tinted her cheeks red as she tucked away a little, rubbing her front leg with the other embarrassed. "L-Let's move on… 'After the gala, what was the worst idea you came up with for what should have happened to Prince Blueblood? Should he have suffered the wrath of Fluttershy's stare, maybe? Or fall victim to a Pinkie Sense prediction repeatedly? Or something else, even?' Oh… my…"

"I rather keep my civil mind away from any thought to do with that… pain. He is not worth a moment of my thoughts, honestly."

"That's good… Now, he has a request for you to do. It says for you to do your best… Applejack impression…"

Giving Fluttershy a curious look, rarity shrugged and cleared her throat, wiggling her body ever so as if to warm up into the character. "Well, caution to the wind, right? Here we go… Ah' reckon t'eir be eh righ' good—" breaking her shaky and terrible accent, Rarity began to laugh. "I'm sorry, I can't do this! I sound ridiculous.

Even Fluttershy gave a little snicker before prepping the next card. "I think that was wonderful. Applejack would be proud. Your next questions are from Camo-boy67: ' Do still miss the rich ponies from canterlot or do like you life long friends better.'"

"Who wouldn't miss the life of the Canterlot elite? But I would always choose my friends over anything… no matter how glamorous it all was…" Rarity responded with a low whimper.

"It's okay Rarity. I still think you're fabulous. 'Do you regret meeting prince blueblood and his rudeness.'"

"Not at all. Thanks to him, I see that dreams are silly at times. I've decided since that day to find a rightful stallion instead of dreaming one up. A bit harder, yes, but nothing is too hard as apposed to going through that again."

"' what ever happen to Tom and did hate how discord tricked you?'"

"That rock? Well, I tried to throw it away… but Applejack decided to pick it from my trash and use it on her farm as support for her hen house… But honestly, I think she's just keeping it to spite me."

"Oh, Rarity. Applejack would never do that. Here, this boy has a comment for you: 'your the prettiest and best pony and my favorite pony'."

"Why thank you. If you were here, I would give you a big kiss for being such a sweetheart," Rarity giggled while giving the camera a little wink.

"Let's have your next questions from lordesslight: 'when did your love for fashion begin, was it before you made dresses for the performance?'"

"Darling, I was stitching dresses before I could trot. It just wasn't up until that night that my talent truly shined."

"' What was it like when Discord took your horn?'"

"It was horrible! I feared for a moment that I would never find gems again. And if I couldn't find gems, my dresses would be ruined!"

"Oh my… 'Is making dresses really difficult?'"

"At times dressmaking's easy, but when a customer calls for a revision despite what my first vision of it was, I have to pick up my pace and make it perfect. But in the end, it's all in the presentation despite the intimidation of some customers."

"IAmTheBadWolf63 asks two things: 'What product(s) do you use on your mane and tail? They look amazing!'"

"Would you be surprised to know that I actually don't know? Fluttershy gives me this fantastic product of hers, but I've never asked what it was."

"It's a secret," Fluttershy gave a winking smile before carrying on with her questions, "' Is there a special colt lurking somewhere in the background?'"

"Not to be vain, but when you look like this, colts tend to lurk everywhere to have a good look at you. But I don't have a special one in mind… yet."

"Moving onto DeusExfreak: 'Why do you act like you're from a long line of high class rich people even though we've seen your parents act nothing like you? Where did your "old money" demeanor come from?'"

"Ah, mom and dad, hah… I do love them. But I've always idolized my grandmother much more. She was a famed designed for the show mares and colts in Las Pegasus you know?"

"I bet she's amazing."

"You have no idea."

"Now, Rarity… these next few are a little more… personal… I could skip them, you know, if you want?"

"Parish the thought, darling. I was invited on this show because there are some who wish to know more about me. What sort of mare would I be if I shied away from a challenge? No offence to you, Fluttershy."

"Oh, none taken. Alright, here goes. These are from ShiningShadow1965… oh my… him. 'Is it true before you came to ponyville were you a stripper at a club?'" Both Fluttershy and Rarity burned a deep red while giving embarrassed and flustered looks.

"Uh… no. No I was never a stripper… Are you applying that I—"

"You look dignified Rarity. Like the princesses! Now please, let's move on…"

"Alright… for you Fluttershy."

"' If i ask you out on a date will you accept Seniorita Rarity?'"

"You just implied I was a trollop. I will have to decline."

"Since you a very fine mare of sophistication what kind of dancing you like, I'm more incline to a latin dance of Merengue'."

"I preffer the Foxtrot or perhaps the Pony-pokie… It's rather amusing once you get into it."

"It really is. Now, he wants you to look at this picture," Fluttershy offered a photo which Rarity took hold of with her glisten of her horn.

Taking it to her face, she studied the image curiously. "…Interesting. I was under the thought that only the Princesses had horns and wings. But Equestria is a big world, there must be others of their kind, right?"

"Right. So what do you think?"

"It's nice… not my sort of taste, but it is nice." Drifting the photo back to Fluttershy, Rarity sat back calmly.

"'I heard somewhere that sweetie belle has a major crush on spike is it true?'"

"Oh, darling. Spike is a little old for Sweetie Belle, right? If anything, it might be puppy love; in my opinion, some of the most enchanting of love."

"' I really want to know about you and your parents and where you come from originally you been a mystery and I love u mujer esta mysteriosos as tu mi princessa.'"

"Eres muy amable, pero mi corazón pertenece a otro," Rarity replied with a sweet smile.

Fluttershy gave a confused blink as she fumbled with the cards. "Uh…"

"Spanish. Being a designer, many different languages tend to help. And about what I said? Well… that's a secret."

"A lot of secrets today… 'I heard you got in a lot of fights in school when you were younger were you the kind of sexy bad –ahhh- of a honey i heard about?'"

"Bad ahhhh?"

"It's a swear…"

"Oh Fluttershy, you're so adorable. And no, I was never in many scrabbles at school. I'm a civil pony."

"' If fashion wasn't your calling what other dreams would you really like to do?'"

"A jewel hunter of course! My horn is already tuned for it, so it would only be natural. And think of all the gems!"

"'Do you like to role play as Mistress and me as your slave?'"

Rarity shifted uncomfortable along with Fluttershy. "Sir, I don't know what you've heard about me, but these aren't actions I like to take part in."

"I told you these questions are personal… Thankfully, this is his final one. 'what kind of flowers for a very beautiful mare such as yourself like?'"

"Irises are the most lovely flower I have ever seen."

"Ready for your final three interviewers?"

"If they're like the last person… I'm not sure."

"Don't worry, they can't be that bad. First is skylightharmony: 'Have you ever noticed that spike has a crush on you? If so would you ever think of dating him, despite the major age difference?'"

"Spikey-wikey? Well… The thought had occurred to me once or twice… It's not that I don't like him; I really do. But it's not a matter of age because honestly, look at Mr. Fancypants; do you think that mare on his arm is anywhere close to his age? No, it's a matter of species… It's something I need to commit to deeper thought."

"Wow Rarity… you really—"

"I believe there are more questions, Fluttershy?"

"Oh, yes. 'When you were a filly and your horn was pulling you towards the rock holding the gems that you used to get your cutie mark, did your parents ever try and stop your horn from taking you away to an unknow location?'"

"Not a bit. Like father says: 'when the horn goes a' pullin', it'll lead to some knowin'.' In other words, you have to follow your destiny when it calls you. Mother and father wouldn't dream of standing in the way of that."

"' If you were forced to either, shave your mane or dye your coat pink, which would you choose?'"

"Dye my coat pink of course. Pink is a lovely color, and I would never want to lose my beautiful mane."

"' Do you ever get buisness from stallions at your boutiqe?'"

"Thanks to Fancypants, yes. Before him, not much."

"' Would you give up your job as a fashion designer, to become a full time model?'"

"Tempting… but no. I would rather dress models then be one."

"Here are three from Crimson Banner: 'When did you begin designing professional clothes?'"

"I assume you mean the grade of clothes I make now? Well, that happened not too long ago. Roughly about the time my mother told me she was expecting a little sibling for me… I remember it well."

"'If you could have any logical superpower, what would it be?'"

"Well, my horn already lets me do quite a lot… but I would have to say the power of future sight. Not like Pinkie, a more clearer and vivid picture sort of power."

Fluttershy nodded and readied to read the next question, but stopped herself short. "Uh… Rarity?"

"Well go ahead, sweetie. It can't be that bad."

"…' Are you a virgin?'"

A moment passed with Rarity's eyes shrunk in surprise and Fluttershy sinking away behind her podium. "…Well… huh. That's… personal, yes. I don't exactly see how that would matter so… Next person?"

"Next person," Fluttershy agreed immediately. "Finally, we have DeadLight63: 'From what we've seen, you tend to notice problems more quickly than your other friends. Why is this?'"

"I have discerning eye of course. When you make the numbers of dresses and check over the multitude of gems I do you need to be able to see the smallest fault as quick as can be."

"' This one is a little personal, so you can skip it if you want. Seeing as you represent "Generosity", would you give up fashion to save a friend-''"

"Yes. A million times yes. I don't need to know the rest of the question, it's a yes. I would give anything to save a friend from anything. And that's not generosity, that's love. I love my friends like family. Isn't that right Fluttershy."

Fluttershy only gave a squeaking smile and picked up her index card again. "'You seem to be more tolerant to filth than the others. Did you have a bad experience with mud and etc. when you were young?'"

"No, I can't say that I had. I simply don't care for it. Nothing looks good on a clean white you know… except jewelry, but that goes without saying."

"Here's your final question. 'Another personal one, o you can skip this if you want to. What is your biggest regret in life?'"

"My biggest regret…" she seemed to ponder the thought for a moment, tapping a single hoof to her chin while furrowing her brows. "Well… I suppose it would be passing up on all the chances I had to show and tell the people I love how much they mean to me… Such as Sweetie Belle and Spike… I will always regret those choices to treat them the ways I had in the past. But I'm working on that."

"You did it Rarity! You finished your interview," Fluttershy cheered in a somewhat hush.

"Well that wasn't so bad, I expected worse, honestly."

"Careful what you say, they could bring you back later… But until then, we have another guest to see. And that is—Applejack. Wow, that's going to be a fun one. Applejack never lies."

"Yes, darling. But I'm not sure that's a good thing in this case…"
