Super garurumon; You'll see, hehehe. I'm almost done with this :/
Rarity was always up for a good make over. In fact, make overs were most likely her favorite thing in the world! While she was certainly used to pulling pony into her shop to pretty them up against their will, it wasn't quite the same the other way around. Half the time, Rarity would try to force Applejack into one of her make over sessions. The other half of the time, she would do the same but with Rainbow Dash, and sometimes Dash would even agree to it. Such as the time she got Rainbow to sit still for a costume she designed for when Princess Celestia herself came to visit Ponyville. Unfortunately, a parasprite invasion cost the town from seeing the gorgeous gown she'd designed.
Either way it went, Rarity was never one to turn down a pony in need of a make over. Although, when the horse shoe was on the other hoof it was much more different. Now that Rainbow Dash, of all ponies, was pulling her into a make over of her own, Rarity knew what it was like for all the other ponies she'd forced into her boutique. Rarity had tried on an arrangement of things the complemented her torso, from vests to sweaters. She'd been bombarded with hats and her coiffure was wild and ruined now thanks to the colorful pony in her midst. Finally, a load of scarves came flooding towards her neck, almost causing her to loose her breath as she was strangled one by one with them. 'Jeez, is this what I make other ponies go through everyday?' Rarity thought to herself as Dash finally settled down on an arrangement for her.
Rarity stared in her mirror as the outfit Rainbow Dash had place on her. A striped fedora, a loose gray scarf and the a black turtleneck. At first, Rarity mentally gasped to herself at the clothes that were put together on her body. It was simply horrific and down right atrocious. The hat was hardly on her head and didn't match the turtleneck. Then there was a scarf the sat atop of the turtleneck which was even worse. However, after quite a long moment of staring at her own reflection, something popped in the fashionista's mind. She was a white unicorn. The contradicting black made her stand out more and the scarf was helped bring attention to her face and brought out her sapphire eyes. The the hat sat right by the horn and pushed some of her hair in front of an eye. Now that Rarity thought about it, everything fit together perfectly.
"Well?" a raspy voice broke Rarity's fashion trance. "Hello? Equestria to Rarity, anypony home?" the voice continued.
"What, oh, yes," Rarity finally responded to Dash's calls. "I must say, I've never seen anything like this. I mean, at first I thought it was just a crime against fashion," Rarity began as Rainbow took the liberty to raise a brow at her statement. "however, now that I look at it, I have to say this is fantastic! In fact, I think I might just be able to start a new clothing line out of this."
"Glad you like it," Rainbow cheerily responded. "Anyway, did you cancel your Raindrops plans?"
"Why of course I did dear," Rarity answered, thinking back to her phone call with Raindrops. The moment she told her about her plans about going with Dash to the mall, Raindrops claimed that she completely understood. "Now, then, shall we get going?"
"You bet," Dash proclaimed, putting on a little beanie of her own.
xXx
Upon the mares' arrival at the mall, Rarity quickly began spotting out stallions of all kinds that they could hit on. Rainbow Dash, on the other hoof, was being much calmer than expected.
"Alright, now we just remember my lessons," Rainbow said, stopping Rarity from pointing out anymore colts.
"Right," Rarity confirmed with a nod.
"We'll just walk through all nonchalantly, then wait for a stallion to come to us," Dash explained as if it were some sort of diabolical plan. "We can't just look like losers standing around though, so we have to sit down and pretend to talk about some crap. Now remember the lessons?"
"Talk the part and look the part, you have explained to me several times," Rarity answered.
"Ugh, you're lucky you're only talking to me right now," Dash facehoofed. "Besides, you're forgetting one."
"I know, I know, play it cool," Rarity grunted. With Rainbow Dash's approving nod, the two mares began to trot through the mall looking for somewhere to sit. They'd easily found a place to take a seat in the middle of the mall, now it was only a matter of waiting. Being polar opposites of each other wasn't very helpful when it came to wasting time however. If there was one thing the two mares did have in common though, it'd be their impatience. Rarity was usually able to keep herself stable, but being a gossiper, she had to start some sort of conversation no matter the topic.
"Soo..." Rarity lingered her word.
"So what?" Dash's impatience forced her to say.
"Well, um, I guess I'd like to say thank you," the unicorn mare began. "Honestly, its hard to remember how I even got myself into this, but you've taught me quite a bit. Whether it was helpful or not, I still appreciate you doing this for me in the first place."
"Yeah, no problem."
Silence.
"Anyway, I must say I never expected you to pick out an outfit that would actually look good. Especially considering the gala dress fiasco," Rarity said as she began to reminisce on the day. "How did you pick this out in the first place?"
"I just got a bunch of hats and stuff and threw 'em together. Its just what looks cool now and I guess a bit of instinct too," Dash smirked as she spoke the last part. However, Rarity was less than impressed.
"Really? So that's why when you designed that gala dress and said it was "perfect" Hoity Toity called it rubbish," Rarity mocked. Even though she was only half serious, she'd still expected an answer from Dash rather than a guffaw in her face.
"Jeez, where did you come from? Trottingham? Or maybe you're one of those fancy ponies from Canterlot. Rubbish is a word that people used a hundred years ago," Rainbow cackled. Honestly, Dash hardly found it hilarious,it was just how Rarity was with it. Whenever Rarity said something, she always had to make it sound all fancy, and it was cute.
"Hmph," Rarity pouted, "Well I guess your crumby lessons just aren't working too well."
"Alright alright, I'm sorry, jeez. Its just that you always talk like that and well its kind of-"
"Kind of what?"
"Well, I don't know. Kind of, uh, cute... ish," Rainbow quickly added. She hadn't known whether it was just a hot day in the mall, but she was sure heat was beginning to show in her face. There was a bit of a silence before anypony began speaking.
"Cute?" Rarity repeated in disbelief. "Well, I uh-" she began to drift off. The two mares were once again quiet for quite a while. In fact, it seemed like the whole mall had completely come to a halt as they stared down to examine their hooves.
"Hey," an unfamiliar voice spoke up. Immediately the two friends looked up to the source of the voice. It was a colt that appeared only a few years older than them. "Me and my buds were just roaming the mall, and then we saw you two. Anyway, we've got a party going on Saturday if you girls are free," the stallion spoke as he handed Rarity and Dash each an invitation. The two mares were speechless, sitting in the mall like this actually got a cute colt to ask them to a party.
"Uh, yeah!" Rainbow Dash finally decided to speak up. "We'd love to come, right Rarity?" she nudged her friend a bit.
"Totally," Rarity played cool. "Sounds like it'd be... awesome!" she forced herself to say. It wasn't like it was hard for her to speak, it was just the form of speech she was using. Rarity was used to more of a formal speaking style rather than a nonchalant way.
"Sweet! You gals just seemed really cool, so I had to invite you. See ya then!" the mystery stallion waved goodbye. Once the colt had left, the two mares found themselves mouth agape once more. After a moment of blank staring, our prismatic pony turned to her student and smirked.
"I told you that was all we had to do."
A/N; Three more chapters at most. So I'm almost done with this story. Next up is "The Other Side of the Rainbow", if you like rule 63 check it out ;)
Also, that story is going to be kind of short as well so a new story needs to start. I have ideas for four Dash shippings I usually don't write, but I'm not sure which to try out first. Go on my page and vote :D Anyway, thanks for reading
