Chapter 7: ups and bass heavy downs
The sun peeked itself through every window of the treehouse, leaving a morning glow that made it's way throughout the house. Spike groggily started waking up, wanting the reality of the morning to go away for one more hour. He wanted to return to sleep but his body refuses to give him that peaceful slumber. Spike stood up and saw the orange, almost celestial glow the house took. "Hmmm, interesting" spike thought to himself, forgetting what waking up this early really looked and felt like. The first place spike made his way to was the bathroom upstairs, that's the only convenience he'll really miss when being up there. The closer and closer he was to being upstairs, he heard a noise that made him groan. "shower water" spike said to himself, letting out another audible groan. "Did i just hear a groan in my presence!" trixie yelled from the bathroom, spike rolled his eyes and made his way back downstairs. He went to kitchen to see what kind of breakfast he could make. "Eggs, milk, bread, an assortment of fruit" spike said to himself, listing off the things he had in the fridge. "I can't make the same breakfast everyday…" spike thought to himself. These were times he regretted giving up his rights to grabbing gems from the cave. "Eh, eggs should do just fine" spike said to himself, picking the eggs out from the fridge. Before he took an egg out of the carton, he thought to himself. "Remembering the last time, maybe trixie should be automatically included with anything i make". Then, his original plan of just eggs turned into sunny side eggs and toast. "Today's is gonna be a tough one" spike thought to himself, he wasn't necessarily frightened at trying to vouch for trixie but he knew the fight that was coming to him. He realized the idea of just gritting your teeth and getting done what needs to be done. However, his job was time consuming enough, "maybe this isn't such a good….." spike then had to mentally slap himself for that thought almost popping into his head. It was his suggestion and now he's starting to doubt it? He kicked the thought out of his head and proceeded to make the planned breakfast.
The table was silent, the only noises you heard was the sound of two individuals eating a good breakfast. Both spike and trixie didn't want to cross any lines, especially after the last meal conversation they had was hostile. Unlike trixie, spike really wanted to break the ice, the silence was slowly killing him. He waited till they were both done at least consuming the first part of their breakfast. He looked towards the window and that gave his first conversation starter "Looks like it's gonna be a pretty nice day" spike said. Trixie then replied "yeah, i guess so, what's your point?". Spike was in utter disbelief but was honestly trying to hold back a chuckle, he replied "well… i didn't think pointing out a nice day really needed a grand reason". Spike expected another outburst but instead he heard a small chuckle and she replied "i guess you're right, sorry about that….". She didn't emotionally kill him and she was able to take the joke in stride. "Today might be a good day" spike thought to himself, her doing that gave him reaffirmed faith in… "doesn't mean that wasn't a stupid ice breaker" trixie said. Spike sighed and replied "yeah, i know….". Trixie nodded, gaining all the satisfaction she needed. "Hey, there is one thing i never asked you" spike said. Trixie then froze, she didn't really talk that much about herself and that was for a very specific reason. "Go ahead" she reluctantly replied, spike nodded and went along with his question. "What happened to you showpony magic, do you still care about it?". The answer to this question was one that edged on too personal to share for trixie. "Uh…. i just…. Didn't want to pursue magic like that anymore" she replied. Spike nodded but that didn't mean he believed her, pressing her on something like that wasn't his intention either. "Maybe, you could have a chance to try….." before spike could finish the sentence, trixie was already vigorously shaking her head. "No, i can't, i've run out of chances…" trixie said, her voice fading while saying that. Spike had no idea what she meant by that but her changing tone told him to leave it alone. The silence returned to the table once again but the mood that silence was spreading was quite apparent. Spike tried to think about the next icebreaker that he could use to bring back some conversation. "Oh!, do you know who's place were going to today?" spike asked, trixie shook her head and this allowed spike to cut in. "vinyl's, it's the best starter place for you, she barely knows about what went down a couple years ago with you" spike said. Trixie was intrigued, she doesn't even know who this mare is and that's a good sign. "Weird that someone barely knowing you is a positive" trixie quipped, this made both of them laugh. "I'm not sure if i should have laughed at that" spike said, trixie swatted his concern away by replying "it's ok, i can poke fun of myself, you on the other hand….". This time, spike had no idea if she was joking or serious based on previous experience. Both of them finished their breakfast but none of them stood up. Spike only needed a couple extra seconds before confirming what was about to happen. Those extra seconds were over and spike stood up, answering the question in his head "guess i'm doing the dishes" spike said, trixie nodded, not even offering a hand. He didn't really mind that, it's piecemeal compared to the potential day in front of him. "We should leave early, there will be a lot of stuff to do" spike said, washing said dishes. Trixie nodded in reply, leaving her chair and coming into the kitchen to place her dishes in. "i'll do mine….." trixie said faintly, it was enough for him to hear. It intrigued spike how timid she became when it came to doing something generous. "Ok, when you're done, we'll head out" spike said to her, finishing the last dish of his. Trixie nodded and started doing her dishes, not saying a word to him. Spike took a seat in the living room, waiting for trixie to finish and the unpredictable day to begin.
Heat, it's either two things to the light blue mare, humid or burning. Today, sadly, the weather was humid and this was her least favorite kind of heat. Why is heat the thing she's thinking about?, she's stuck outside waiting for spike to convince the gray mare to let her in. "you know i wouldn't bring her if i didn't…." spike was about to say but then the gray mare interjected "i know, i know but you're…..". She stopped herself from saying something a little less flattering about the drake. "I'm what, go on tell me!" spike exclaimed, his emotion changing into anger with a hair trigger. "Naive, very open…. But naive" she said sternly, not even fearing the angry dragon. Spike calmed himself down and took a deep breath. "If you don't trust her that much, keep a close eye on her while we're doing the job" spike proposed. Octavia looked at him and then glanced at the mare sitting outside in the heat. She then groaned and replied to spike "if she is any threat to…." spike already knew what she was going to say and interjected "she won't lay a finger on your vinyl" he said mockingly, as predicted by him, this made her blush furiously. "Ju...just go inside, she's in the back!" she exclaimed, spike chuckled and he went outside to tell trixie the good news. "We're clear, behave yourself" spike said to her, trixie gave him a look of ill intent and that wasn't unnoticed by the gray mare. "Just introduce yourself, she's very kind" spike said to her, trixie nodded and went towards the grey mare. "Uhhh, thank you for…. Giving me a chance, you…. Probably know my name, what's yours?" trixie stumbled through that entire sentence. The grey mare wasn't really comfortable with her just yet but being uncourteous was just not her style. "Of course, a helping hand is always wonderful to have, octavia is my name!" she replied, really pushing enthusiasm. Trixie wasn't fooled by her false enthusiasm but she kept her head up and focused on the job ahead. "Vinyl's in the backroom, she'll give you instructions on what to do" octavia said to her with brevity. Trixie took the signal and made her way to the backroom with spike. Spike turned to her and whispered "see, told you she was nice". She nodded in reply and didn't even mention the feeling she got from her. They walked in the backroom and they we're greeted by a very excited mare. "Glad to see ya here spike…." she looked and saw the mare standing next to him. She took off her literal rose colored goggles to get a clearer look at the mare. Trixie was 1 step closer to looking at the ground, not even wanting any kind of eye contact from her. In an unexpected reaction from her, she smiled and then said "cool, you brought extra hooves!". Trixie was surprised at the mare's excitement with her being here, this made her crack a small smile. "Name's vinyl, nice to meet you" vinyl said, putting her hoof out for a shake. Trixie put her hoof out and shook hers, she then replied "trixie is mine, glad to be working with you". Spike started smiling as well, hoping that this tone and demeanor sticks. "Ok, let's go over everything that needs doing today…." vinyl said, spike and trixie nodded as they started going over their tasks for the day.
The task they were given was simple by design but tedious in nature. "I have a totally amazing party to d.j tonight and i need my tables and gear to be moved to the location" vinyl explained. Trixie and spike nodded, thinking that this would be a simple job. "I mean this concert is tonight, she wouldn't have too many things to carry…." spike thought to himself. Vinyl then started walking towards the front door and looked at the two helpers. "Follow me, the stuff we need to carry is outside of the house" vinyl said, trixie and spike nodded and followed her outside. "Odd, i didn't see anything outside of the house" trixie said to spike, he only shrugged in response. You see, funny thing about perspective, if both of them were really paying attention, they would have saw the massive heap of different things behind the house. "Do we have some kind of….." spike was about to ask but vinyl was already aware of his question. "Sadly no, no kind of wheelbarrow or anything to carry all this with but the place isn't that far….." vinyl said uncertainly. Spike took a look at trixie and automatically her bloody nose came to memory. "I… i'll try and find some kind of wheelbarrow" spike said. "It's not like you can't carry this stuff a couple houses down dude" vinyl replied, spike turned to her and asked "how many houses down?" spike asked. Trixie was just silent, having an idea about what he was worried about. "Spike….." the first time she called out, it was more like a silent whisper. "It's about five houses down, pretty decent distance but with two hand….." before vinyl even finished her answer, spike interjected "not two, just one…." . why was this something that trixie could easily predict the drake to do? "Spike….." this time it was a little bit louder, not enough to gain attention. "Why did you bring her if she's not even going to help?" vinyl asked, genuinely confused. "It's….. Something came up, her carrying some of this stuff five houses down is concerning to me" spike replied. Trixie finally became irritated with him deeply underestimating her. "DRAGON, ENOUGH" she yelled, everybody around her turned dead silent. Spike was the most shocked by her outburst, he wasn't even sure what he even did this time. "We were on such a good streak….." this was the only thought that passed through the drake's mind. "Trixie… what's wrong?" spike asked, he completed ignored her calling him dragon once again. Spike calmer tone made her regret the more aggressive tone she took but at the same time, it's the only way that she could be heard. "It's just…. I'll be fine, don't worry about it, the bloody nose was only one occasion" trixie replied, returning to a more grounded tone. Spike was still uncomfortable with it but he knows to back off at this point "it's ok, i got it, if you can do it, do it" spike replied, trixie nodded in reply. Vinyl was just confused by where any of these kind of things were coming from "well… could of solved that with a little less yelling" vinyl said, making all them give a small chuckle. "Yeah….. Things like these happen from time to time….." spike said, completely embarrassed by their display. Trixie couldn't get over one particular thing about what just happened but right now she needed her mind clear. Spike kept his uncertainty with him as he saw the pile of electronics that need to be moved. "Ok partner, where do we start?" spike asked trixie. Trixie looked at all the things in the pile and pointed out the heaviest thing in the pile. "The turntable, looks hefty" she said with a knowing grin, this being some kind of small punishment for the drake. Spike knew that she was doing this on purpose but he took it in stride and replied "fine with me, just don't ask me for any assistance" spike replied, throwing her punishment attempt right back into her face. Trixie huffed and summoned her magic around the item, vinyl then said "wow, she's sure showed you dude, let's get going!". "She hasn't even walked a step yet?" spike thought but she let vinyl's encouragement swell her head a bit, maybe it would help her through this job. He took a speaker from the pile and started following in pursuit of the two mares.
Dirty was the only description that this small inn could muster out of the 4 customers that come to the place. 3 of those 4 people only come around to laugh at the miserable excuse of an inn. The paint on the walls was now chipping, the flooring was cracked and the molding between these floorings were quite apparent. The doors to each room had a significant dent in each of them, the origin of these dents remain to be unknown. The only actually decent part about this inn was the actual rooms you stay in. that's only because unlike the rest of this place, the rooms didn't look like a deadly fire occurred in them. These details were important for a very special reason. The mare who had residence in this inn was a mare that you wouldn't think had no business at all here. One of the room doors busted open, a dazed mare who's purple mane was frizzled and messy walked through that opened door. She walked with a slow, trance like pace to the front desk. She finally found the mare that actually ran the place. She was a young mare and very reserved as well. She was a fellow unicorn like rarity but her color was of a dark blue, as well as her mane. Her most defining feature are the smaller pair of librarians glasses that she wore. She wore her mane completely down, covering her right eye, making the glasses obsolete. "The water….. It's not working" the mare said, sounding exhausted. The clerk looked at her straight in the eyes and replied "well, sorry, if it ain't working, not my problem….." the mare was completely dismissive of her, this peeved her to no end. "Mam, you could atleast give me some respect" she said, trying to keep some kind of nice exterior. "You payed 1 bit, you get 1 bit service" the service mare didn't even care about her ailments. She was ready to flip on the service lady but she did have some kind of point. She gave off a large huff and started walking back to her room. The service lady squinted and she gasped, the mare continued to walk off, hoping she wasn't connecting any dots. "Oh my god, rarity is that you?" the service mare asked. She stopped in her tracks, rarity did not want to be found here. She thought about her next set of words very carefully, she didn't want to take advantage of her… "looking at the genuine article darling!" she exclaimed, throwing caution to the wind. The service mare was in complete shock, a famous celebrity has come to her dump of an inn. "I'm such a fan of your work!, i'm so sorry for being rude!" she exclaimed, sounding like young foal. Rarity cocked a slight grin, not only soaking up the attention but having a plan backed up with that grin. "About the water….." before she even finished, the service mare interjected "of course!, you don't even need to ask!". "Ok, let's see what i can do with this…." rarity thought. "I just need one thing from you….., what's your name mam?" rarity asked, playing up her courteous charm. "Tracy!" she replied, one of her favorite designers asking for her name was mind blowing enough for her. "Ok… tracy darling, i can't have other ponies know that i stay here, no pony, do you understand?" rarity asked, the giddy mare in front of her nodded rapidly. Rarity smiled and made her way back to the room she was staying, expecting the water that she asked for in the beginning. "That was a close one, i just need more time here, i don't want to go back" rarity thought, shuddering at the idea of returning to her dreaded manehatten.
"Really, you're serious now, fluttershy?" vinyl asked spike, he was still wondering why ponies would be so shocked by the development. "For the fifth and final time, yes, happily together" spike replied, annoyed by her line of questioning about it. The group of hearty workers decided to take a small break after an hour of grunt work. "That's great dude!, honestly, i thought the mare you brought was your plus one" vinyl replied, trixie double taked and was ready to correct that stance. Octavia was watching her obvious shock and discomfort but kept those details all to herself. "It's really a long story with her and me, almost like an epic saga" spike replied, trixie swatted her hoof in dismissal and replied "saved me from diamond dogs, needed a place to stay, end of story". Spike looked at her and chuckled, not even minding it and then asked octavia "hey, is there anything to drink in this place?". Octavia shrugged her shoulders and replied "the bar isn't stocked here but… have you actually drank something alcoholic before?" octavia asked. This is when spike became a little shy and uncomfortable, the last party he remembered having was when everybody was going their separate ways. Most of the mane six besides pinkie had a strict no beer, wine, or anything alcoholic rule. "No, not really actually….." spike replied, vinyl started laughing at the poor, shy drake. "That's gonna change tonight, this party is gonna be killer!" vinyl exclaimed while still laughing. Spike put his head down on the bar counter, thinking that maybe lying could have saved his skin. "Hey….. i've never had a drink in my life and i'm a technical drifter!" trixie exclaimed valiantly and full of pride. This made vinyl and octavia laugh out loud but not for the reasons you would think. "Are you trying to stick up for spike?" vinyl asked, holding another chuckle in with her hooves. Spike lifted his head and looked at her, trixie couldn't even return a glance to him. She was completely silent and didn't understand the number one rule about truth. Silence can speak volumes and this ideal applied exactly for this moment. "Awe….. you becoming good friends already" vinyl said, taking this moment completely different then octavia took it. "What do you mean drifter?" octavia asked, suspicious of the mare once again. This is was truly broke her silence and filled that silence with misplaced frustration. "Well, when your outcasted by the entire town, your outcasted by the entire town" trixie replied, forcing a chuckle out. Octavia nodded and dropped the subject, then the room became dead silent. This gave spike a moment to realize exactly what she felt for trixie. "I'm so…." before spike could say another thing, vinyl cut in "don't you love this place, i mean it's small but really charming". Spike almost immediately forgot what he was about to say and started looking around the room.
It was a small and simple place designwise, a small bar in the very back of the club and a dance floor that dominates most of the space. A stage was placed at the very back of the venue to keep the amount of dancefloor space high. Instead of having regular light bulbs, the light bulbs were colored and made the place pop at night. "I mean yeah, it's a nice place, not my concern since i'm not going" spike replied, vinyl groaned in frustration and replied "come on spike!, why not make it a date with your new mare?". Spike thought this through slightly, any kind of date with fluttershy was a positive for him but he remembered something important "i don't think a party like this would be something she'd enjoy" spike replied, vinyl sighed, seeming defeated by his answer. It was an answer that came with a large amount of logic but there was still a small bit of regret with his answer. It's been a long time since he has done something strictly for fun, he's kinda just been living his life day by day. "Nobody asked me if i wanted to go, jeez, inconsiderate" trixie said jokingly. Vinyl turned towards her quickly, taking her joke as a confirmation of appearance. "If you wanna come, i'll make sure to add you on the list!" vinyl exclaimed, sounding like an excited foal. "Really?" trixie asked to confirm but oddly turned to spike, seemingly asking for a reaction. "Well, of course, you've proven trustworthy and you seem cool to party with!" vinyl replied, this made trixie crack a small grin but once again looking back at spike. This time he noticed and was unsure with what exactly she was looking for. Did she want him to come with her?, was this some kind of ask for permission?, is he supposed to stop her? These were all questions that he had stirring in his mind, he decided to take one of these questions to heart. Spike huffed, praying to celestia for the 50th time, asking forgiveness for weakness. "Fine, i'll come along" spike said dismissively, this answer got small claps from everyone there. "Awesome!, i promise you won't regret it!" vinyl exclaimed happily, her excitement got the regretful drake to at least crack a grin. Trixie nodded, seemingly answering one of the questions he had in his mind. Octavia smiled as well, knowing spike longer, it's been awhile since any of them has really hung out for leisure. "Alright then, party folk, let's get this moving done!" vinyl said, everyone in the room caught her fever and stood up, ready to end the job. Spike even started ebbing away his regret, "it's been awhile since i've hung out with friends, might be fun" spike thought to himself. As spike put up a small smile walking out of the door, trixie saw this and grinned herself, seemingly finding success in something.
Work ethic was on turbo this time around, breaks were non-existent for this trio. Moving item after item in a rapid rhythm. Spike went from starting to warm towards the idea of going to being excited. A party is just what he needs, maybe he'll be able convince fluttershy of the same idea. Trixie was really feeling the vibe that young drake was spreading, she was honestly glad for it. Her emotions weren't covered by some impenetrable veil this time, her happiness was quite apparent. But she wasn't feeling that happiness for herself, taking it like a thief in the night. "It's at least one thing i could do, in the end it was his choice to go anyway, but why was my nudge even effective?" trixie thought, octavia finally finished her data gathering on the interaction between the two. "This could crash and burn" octavia thought to herself, reminded of her own non active attempts. She was sitting in the bar for this last haul, feeling she'd let the helpers they're paying for finish the job. She then returned her gaze to lifelong friend vinyl. "Even working gives her the joyful energy" octavia thought to herself. Even when she was in magical strain with some items she carried, she still had a stupid grin on her face. This is what octavia admired….. No, loved about her. She's been silent about it for years, the only one that has really known about this secret is spike. "Maybe this party could be a chance to…." she started think, she then dismissed her childish thinking, remembering her older status. "I can't have such thoughts like a child" she said to herself, that didn't mean she wouldn't take the chance. "Last box, bring it in and were done!" the volume of vinyl's voice brought octavia out of thought. Octavia looked towards the group and saw vinyl leading spike carrying the last box of various wires. Spike placed the box down and let out an exhausted breath. "Finally!" spike exclaimed, trixie just plopped down right on the floor. Spike chuckled and started talking to vinyl "ok, so when is this party you we're so hyped for me to be at?" spike asked, vinyl was glad to give the details for this. "In about… 5 or 6 hours" vinyl said nonchalantly. Then after a couple seconds she realized that there is only 5 or 6 hours to set up equipment and other things. "Ok, i would love to stay and chat but me and octi got some equipment to set up!" she exclaimed, once she heard her name, octavia's attention was fully on the group. "Late once again vinyl" octavia chimed in, vinyl gave her a look of annoyance and quickly started sorting through boxes. "Alright, we'll see you tonight" spike replied, making his way out door as trixie followed suit.
"So, where to next?" trixie asked, then a large grumble was heard. "Maybe, lunch could be a start" spike replied, organically revealing being the source of that noise. This made her chuckle as they started looking around for an diner. As they were looking, questions were popping up in both of their minds. "You know…." she started saying, spike swung his attention back onto her. "I'm fine on my own, right?" trixie asked, spike sighed and nodded. "Yeah. it's just, i don't know, sometimes i get a little overprotective sometimes, especially for friends…" he responded, this made trixie freeze in place. She turned to him and asked in disbelief "you consider us friends?". Spike was puzzled by this confusion but still replied "of course, i mean your obnoxious from time to time, but you're nice enough" he added a shrug, assuming this wasn't really new news. It really wasn't, trixie even admitted this to herself. Hearing someone else confirm that fact besides having to ask for that truth is refreshing for her. "One more thing, what convinced you to come?" trixie asked, spike once again did and shrug and replied "honestly, maybe cause you wanted me to come or something in that nature…". She had a feeling this was the case but she wanted to hear these things herself, gives her a good feeling. Then that bitterness, the quick thought of their new friendship being more take then give on her part started bothering her once more. "Hey, it's fine, really, if i didn't wanna do something, i wouldn't" he said to her with a smile. It's almost like he caught her thought and answered it, for that, she became embarrassed. "Well…. Obviously i knew that!, dense drake!" she replied, spike laughed at her simple defense. "You know, maybe if you were a little more open….." he was about to say but that was cancelled with a loud…. "Shut up already!". "Yep, maybe i should bump the obnoxious percentage up to 60 instead of 50" spike thought as they finally found an adequate diner.
"Oh i don't know…. You know how i am with parties…." fluttershy stumbled along, hearing spike's request for invitation. "I'm only going because of this thing we call peer pressure, if you go, it'll be at least a solid 30% less worse" spike said, contradicting the statement he gave to trixie. "You'd only give me 30% percent….." fluttershy said, honestly disappointed with his percent. Spike wanted to facepalm but he wasn't sure how great of an idea that was to do in front of her timid marefriend. "If i give you 50%, will you come my dear?" spike replied, really trying to tug on the cheeseball. Fluttershy was thinking for a split second but then she came to her decision "i'll go, can't leave you alone down there" fluttershy said with another one of her beaming smiles. "Alright, i'll come back around in like….. 4 hours or so" spike said, giving her a quick hug before making his way out. Trixie was hidden behind some random tree reasonably close to her house. "Her house looks nice, for living in the middle of the forest…" trixie thought, spike found the place that she was hiding and signaled her to come along. As they were both walking, trixie had a pretty obvious question "of everyone you openly told, why hide it from her?" trixie asked. Spike sighed and replied "i don't know, i really don't wanna risk losing her". "I mean vinyl was ok, rarity was ok, i've even had multiple conversations with her, she at least assumes we're friends" trixie replied. Spike's ground was getting shakier and shakier, she was right but it was still a fear of his. "Look, a misunderstanding could happen if you don't tell her" trixie said, this finally broke him out of his ideal and he made a decision. "Ok, when i pick her up, i'll tell her, since you're coming along" spike replied, trixie nodded in agreement. Spike actually appreciated the little bit of advice that she gave him. Honestly, he probably would have stuck in his ways if it weren't for her input. "And i'm the only crazy one" trixie said, making spike laugh. He's aware of his own indecision and insanity from time to time. If they were blood related, he probably caught some of twilight's insanity. "Hey, are you gonna be ok with this party, you know, with all the…." spike was about to ask but then trixie interjected "spike, i'm not a foal, i'll be fine". He nodded and they continued on their way, getting ready for an impending party.
Rarity's star power is something that she wanted to drop and abandon in manehatten, along with other things. For once in years it's become a useful tool for her. She's been having a fantastic experience at her inn now. it doesn't mean that the inn isn't a garbage heap anymore, that's just denying reality. "So, that's where you got that idea from….." tracy was just an ordinary super fan of the mare. She's been engaging in what basically adds up to interviewer talk. Rarity didn't mind this at all, it's attention but not too much of it. "Inspiration isn't just one source darling, it can come from almost anything, you just have to have the eye to see it" rarity replied, getting to talk about her passion with someone in a more intimate level was a complete joy for her. "So…. do you think i can….." before the words could even slip out of tracy's mouth, rarity was already nodding. "Of course, all things take time, but your interest is already a good starting place" rarity replied, her reply was returned with a beaming smile from tracy. "Thank you, really means alot to me" tracy said, rarity nodded in reply. "You seem like you still really like fashion, why did you come back here?" tracy asked. Rarity had to think about how she answered this question. "I needed a break, from a couple things, big businesses can drag you down" rarity replied, tracy nodded in understanding. "Rooting yourself, i got it, that's why you picked my inn!" tracy exclaimed but rarity was quick to shut that down "sorry but no, complete coincidence" rarity replied, tracy took that in good humor and laughed. "Hey, i was invited to a party, would you like to come along?" tracy asked, rarity already knew her answer to this question. "I really can't, i can't be seen by anyone darling…" she replied, actually sounding disappointed by this fact. Tracey was not giving up on her proposal, she had an idea. "If you're that serious, i have some clothes you could try on, would make a fine disguise" tracy said, secretly hoping her idol would actually take a look at her clothes. Rarity's face was one of pure thought, she really didn't want to get pointed out by even one pony. But at the same time, it's been awhile since she's had a good amount of fun at a party. Her final decision was one motivated out of cold logic and….. "You know what, might as well go, might be fun" rarity replied, wanting to let herself go for one night. "This is amazing, i'm going to a party with rarity!" the giddy tracy thought, she was somehow able to keep a somewhat cool head. "First thing we need to do, is cut down some of that hair, ponies need to see more of those eyes" rarity said to her, "now i getting a free makeover, what a day!" tracy thought, this became too overwhelming for her. "Tracy, tracy!" rarity exclaimed, trying to wake up the passed out mare.
