Holy Witness of Stolen Idea
After Rarity has done the fabric shopping and making the outfits, which only took her two days because this is Rarity we're talking about and she's the fashion specialist even though she could've done them in a day, everyone has gathered at the gymnasium.
"Hey, I am holding this right?" Flash asked about the camera he's doing Photo Finish who gave him a thumb up.
"Gotta say, you did well with making the outfits." Aria commented as she looks at herself in the mirror.
"And the ones you made for us looks great, almost like the ones we wore during the final of the Battle of the Band." Adagio pointed out the similarity of this new dress and the previous ones.
"Well, I thought you girls should look smashing for the video while being enchanting at the same time." Rarity smiled.
"Hey, Rarity!" Tohru called out from above on the I-Beam getting the director's attention.
"Where should I make the disco ball float when we start?" Tohru asked.
"Keeping it floating in the middle above the stage for the first ten seconds, then you can move it around." Rarity answered.
"Got it!" Tohru said with a thumb up.
"And Lucoa, your job is to make all the colors of the dancefloor light up brightly whatever spot the girls step on for a while and make them all light up randomly." Rarity instructed the Dragon Goddess who is standing right next to the stage.
"Sure, I like to help make you girls become more colorful." Lucoa nodded.
"(They do remember that Rarity already gave them the role of their job, right?)" Applejack thought wondered if they forgot on purpose.
"Let's take it from the top one more time. Rainbow Dash don't forget your cue. It's when Fluttershy does her triple pirouette, okay?" Rarity told the two girls.
"Lights, camera…" Rarity said as Flash and the dragons got ready.
"And… action!" Rarity signaled the start of the filming for the dance video.
Sunset Shimmer and Adagio comes onto the stage from the right and Fluttershy looking a little nervous shows up on the left, but she accidentally kicks Sunset on the back. Sunset let it slide and continue dancing as Fluttershy tries to do a triple pirouette even though she has no idea what that is.
"(I may not may much about lots of other human stuff, but I'm pretty sure kicking isn't part of the dancing.)" Tohru thought looked how this is going.
Then Rainbow Dash comes in thinking she saw her cue.
"Cut!" Rarity shouted spooking Flash a bit that he almost drops the camera and the music stop.
"Hey! What happened to the music?" Rainbow Dash confused.
"Fluttershy, it's supposed to be a triple pirouette." Rarity said after taking in a deep breath not to let her anger get the best of her.
Spike just woke up from his little nap and let out a yawn while stretching his back as Rarity walks up to the stage to talk with Fluttershy.
"I know. It's just that... um... uh, I-I don't think I can do one of those." Fluttershy said as she can't quite follow the complicated steps.
"Darling, of course you can, darling. I believe in you." Rarity hugged Fluttershy with their cheeks pressing onto each other.
"How about you try "jazz paws" instead?" Spike offered an idea with his paws shaking.
"If you want, we can make you do the electric moonwalk." Flash offered as he sparks his electric power between his finger and thumb.
"Oh, that sounds really cool!" Spike excited.
"Heh. Thanks, Spike, Flash. But all these moves are pretty hard." Sunset pointed out.
"Oh, I know. But if we want to win, we have to bring our A-game!" Rarity stated as she wants everyone to show others, they can make a great music video.
"Is it always this hard to make a music video?" Lucoa asked Flash.
"Well, it's usually the case that it takes practice and good teamwork for a good video to make, but it doesn't look like we'll get anywhere." Flash worried.
"Come now, Flash. I'm sure we can do it; we just need to focus and do our very best." Rarity believed in everyone.
"Crystal Prep certainly will. They're excellent dancers, and you know how they love to compete." Twilight explained about the students of Crystal Prep a bit.
"Did you ever get any dance classes with them?" Tohru asked.
"Oh no, I usually just be in my academic classes and in my secret room for my private studies." Twilight mentioned.
"It's true, she doesn't interact with everyone which has gotten me worrying about her having someone else besides me to hang out with." Spike added as he walks up to Twilight, and she pets his head.
"But now you have us to brighten your day with friendship, and tacos!" Sonata jumped onto Twilight from behind and shove a taco in her mouth.
"Oh, uh, thank you very much, Sonata." Twilight thanked mumble.
"Bet Crystal Prep didn't have tacos to cheer themselves up when they're upset." Aria rolled her eyes while hiding a small smile.
"(Tacos are the ultimate food!)" Sonata thought smiled cheerful.
"How about we forget about the other teams and get back to dancin'?" Applejack suggested.
"Great idea, Applejack!" Pinkie danced imitating synth drums and moving her feet in place. "It's really fun! I haven't stopped this whole time!"
"(Aw, what a cute Pinkie fun.)" Flash thought chuckled.
However, Rarity wasn't feeling the fun as she wanted to make this video a success for the contest and needs everyone to focus.
"Let's take it from Rainbow's entrance." Rarity said she returns to her director chair.
"Lucoa, Tohru, don't forget your roles!" Rarity reminded the dragons.
"Hope this doesn't make her feel the filming shivers." Spike said.
"What does that mean?" Flash asked.
"No idea. I heard that word from the TV back home." Spike shrugged as he didn't understand what that word means.
"And… action!" Rarity started the video again.
Everyone got back to dancing with Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Sunset, and Adagio taking the lead like the start as Lucoa makes the light of the dancefloor glow though she made them a little too bright that the light reaches up to the disco ball reflecting the light onto Tohru's face.
"Hey!" Tohru complained pushing the disco ball away but with too much force that it was embedded to the wall.
"Whoa!" Sunset shocked of seeing that, and accidently making a tear on Rainbow Dash's jacket.
Rarity gasp in shock as she quickly stops the video making again and hurry on the stage.
"Oh my, it looks like that's a big tear." Lucoa commented.
"Oh! Oh! This is a disaster!" Rarity panicked.
"Whoops. Sorry, Rarity." Sunset apologized.
"Oh. Well, I can fix it, but I'll have to run to the fabric store before it closes. Keep practicing while I'm gone! Ahhh!" Rarity took Rainbow Dash's jacket and ran off.
"Hey Rarity, would it be a bad time to tell you that I dropped some tacos on my skirt?" Sonata asked showing the stain on her while still eating a taco.
"AAAAHHH?!" Rarity screamed as she ran back onto the stage immediately taking the skirt right off and leaving again with Sonata's underwear expose.
"That appears to be a bad time to her." Flash commented.
"Hey Flash, I came here to ask if I could add my special effects for your video, but then I saw Rarity run for her life." Trixie explained as she entered the scene.
"Yeah, we're taking break from the video for a while.' Flash sighed.
"Tohru, would you mind going with Rarity for a bit. I want to make sure she's okay while getting that jacket fix." Twilight ordered.
"You got it! I'll have her back faster than your quick thinking!" Tohru saluted before zooming off after Rarity.
"Huh, Sonata, are you okay just like that?" Flash asked blushing of her being expose from the waist area.
"I'll be fine, it just reminds me of the time I never wore clothes back in Equestria." Sonata shrugged as she chomps on her taco.
"(Oh Sonata, so innocent but I bet you're also liking the way he looks at you.)" Lucoa thought smiled while the other two Dazzlings are feeling a little jealous of their youngest sister.
(With Rarity and Tohru)
Rarity and Tohru walk through Canterlot mall after leaving the fabric shop that the fashion specialist got the jacket all fix up good as new, like nothing has ever happened to the jacket.
"Oh, thank goodness I budgeted for backup fabric." Rarity smiled doing a good job on the jacket.
"You know, Lucoa or I could have just used our magic to fix the jacket." Tohru pointed out.
"I would have appreciated the help, but a fashion girl like myself wishes to always test herself when coming handling the fabric with her own hands." Rarity explained her pride of a fashion design.
"Try think of this you love to cook for Twilight to make her smile." Rarity said that as an example.
"Okay, I get where you're getting at." Tohru nodded.
Tohru's dragon ears suddenly pick up on a nearby music that is being played very close and doesn't appear to be coming from inside any of the stores, she turns her sight on the source.
"Huh, I didn't know there would be street dancing in the mall." Tohru said.
Rarity became confused of that and turns her attention to where Tohru is looking though the second her eyes caught sight, she gasps in horror of shock and seeing what is happening right now.
"Holy Witness of Stolen Idea?!" Rarity gasped.
"Oh no, is that them doing…?" Rarity tried to make herself believe that this is some kind of illusion instead of reality.
"What's wrong, Rarity? Do you know those girls?" Tohru asked.
"Why yes, those girls are from Crystal Prep! The girls from Twilight's old school." Rarity answered shock.
"Those girls are? Wow, they really are good at dancing." Tohru commented at those girls dancing.
"The dancing yes, but it's how they're doing it that is awful!" Rarity stated confusing Tohru more now.
"Is that a disco-inspired look? And a street ballet tutu?!" Rarity looked at the Shadowbolts more with how they dance and the style they dress too.
"Wow, what a coincidence! Those are the kind of things you thought of for the music video." Tohru surprised.
"I don't believe it. They stole my brilliant idea!" Rarity gasped of realization.
"Wait, they what?!" Tohru gasped as well.
"Those bitches! How dare they take something you worked hard on thinking to make Twilight and the others into doing such great things!" Tohru angered with her eyes glowing red and her mouth glowing from the inside like she's about to unleash her fire breath.
"Just say the word, Rarity, and I'll have those bitches roasted for their arrogance!" Tohru readied herself even though she doesn't want to upset Twilight.
"Oh, I'll tell you what we're gonna do. We're gonna… run to my home while I cry in pain!" Rarity cried running for her life.
"Wait, what?!" Tohru gasped that there won't be any torture today.
(Rarity's Home)
Rarity is sewing Rainbow Dash's jacket to fix up the tear at the bottom though she doesn't feel joyful with sewing like she usually does because she is being all sad and down of what she found out at the mall.
Suddenly a portal appeared right at her door almost spooking the fashion girl so much that she barely falls out of her chair.
"We're here!" Pinkie announced as she and the whole gang here.
"Tohru just informed us that you went home crying after what happened at the mall." Twilight said.
"Yeah, she mentioned you both saw Crystal Prep dancing at the fountain in the mall." Flash added.
"And you're upset about it." Applejack mentioned as she places a hand on Rarity's shoulder.
"Oh, I saw them dancing alright… with OUR video concept!" Rarity revealed as she lay on her long chair crying with tears coming out.
"They did your video idea?" Lucoa asked shock.
"It looks like you ended up making others look better than your own group." Adagio stated.
"You are right?!" Rarity screamed and slammed her face on her purple chair.
"I saw them filming at the mall. They copied my design ideas and everything! So of course, they looked absolutely fabulous. But the worst part is that they're all incredible dancers!" Rarity admitted crying some more.
"Yeah, you were right about them being good dancers." Tohru said to Twilight.
"I was also thinking about roasting their flesh whole so they would never have to use their bodies to steal others' ideas ever again." Tohru revealed her intention on those Shadowbolts.
"Please tell me you didn't you?" Twilight asked worry.
"No, Rarity had decided to just run away crying like she is doing right now." Tohru pouted much to Twilight's relief.
"Major bummer in the summer! Tissue for your issue?" Pinkie handed Rarity a tissue paper.
"Thank you." Rarity accepted and blew on the tissue to clean her nose.
"Everyone is counting on me, on the video to win us the prize money to make us feel recognize for our musical talents and such! Oh, how could I have been such a fool?! Of course, those Crystal Preppers stole my concept! I practically served it to them on a platter!" Rarity complained upset at herself.
"What? You humans also give each other platter of food when giving away ideas?" Lucoa puzzled.
"No, it's nothing like that." Flash assured.
"Don't be too hard on yourself. It's gonna take more than one Friendship Games for those Crystal Prep girls to learn that winning isn't everything." Twilight explained.
"I kind of thought they would at ease up with their competitive spirit, but at least they were a little nicer to Rarity than being rude." Flash pointed out.
"Trixie believes that it's for the best Crystal Prep takes the dancing." Trixie said.
"Hmm? W-What do you mean?" Rarity asked shock.
"Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with Trixie on this one because the idea isn't working." Aria stated.
"Not that there's anything wrong with your ideas. It just your concept and costumes are really awesome, but, uh... our dancin'..." Applejack paused for a moment trying to think of a nice way to say this.
"Nnnnot so much." Sunset and Sonata said at the same time.
"Yeah, the others told Trixie how the practice was going." Trixie said.
"Yeah, the others have been tripping and stepping onto each other's feet for quite a while it was starting to look like a funny misstep video." Flash joked a little.
"You're telling me." Spike laughed.
"You can say that again!" Pinkie giggled.
"Nonsense! You all looked great!" Rarity proclaimed but let out a sigh. "Okay, maybe not great, but, but... but it was getting there! And the point is we don't have to let them win! That is our video concept!" She angered.
"So, what are you going to do about it." Aria raised an eyebrow with a smirk.
"And I am going straight to Crystal Prep to let them know that they have messed with the wrong girls! Mmm! Who's with me?!" Rarity asked, determine to teach these ladies a lesson.
"Oh yeah, let's go teach them a lesson!" Aria excited.
"Wait, you're going too?" Flash asked shock.
"Because I've been itching to do something a little violence." Aria smirked.
"(Of course, that's what gets you excited for.)" Everyone thought commented on Aria's feeling to fight.
"I wanna go too!" Sonata raised her hand.
"In that case, I, along with Flash, will come." Adagio volunteered herself and Flash to go.
"Wait, what? Why do I have to go?" Flash gasped.
"I think it would be fun for you to go, maybe you could practice being a spy so that you can sneak up on me and the other girls whenever you feel the mood to have sex." Lucoa winked.
"Come on, I'm not that obese with sex!" Flash stated.
"That's great to hear, and now… do any of you how to get to Crystal Prep because I have no idea where to go from here." Rarity revealed that she doesn't know the directions.
"Seriously? How do you not know where the school is? Aren't you guys supposed to be rivals or something?" Aria asked shock.
"It's not like we went to their school during the Friendship Games." Trixie shrugged.
"I'll go. Maybe I can try to reason with them. We were classmates once." Twilight volunteered to go too.
"That's the spirit! Come on!" Rarity declared.
