You woke up in your bed once again with Sci-Twi snuggling you in her sleep.

(Y/N): ** Hopefully, she won't be as fragile as she was yesterday.

You petted her ponytail gently as she slowly started to wake up.

Sci-Twi: Good morning, my savior.

(Y/N): Good morning, my adorable little bookworm.

You give her a peck on the lips as a small chuckle escapes her mouth.

Sci-Twi: How was your sleep?

(Y/N): Fantastic. How about you?

Sci-Twi: Well, since I had you to cuddle with, I'd say it's the best I've had in years.

(Y/N): ** Glad I could be a literal body pillow for you.

Sci-Twi: So, I'm guessing you're going out with Rarity today?

(Y/N): Yeah, I did promise her one. So what'll you be doing in the meantime?

Sci-Twi: I might continue to test out that speedometer I made that you saw back when you were on a date with Rainbow Dash.

(Y/N): At least you'll be occupied. Come on. Let's get ourselves something to eat.

Sci-Twi: Way ahead of you.

You stepped out of bed and went downstairs to have yourselves some breakfast. After finishing your meals, and getting yourself ready, you heard the front doorbell ring as you went over and answered. You were greeted by the magnificent sight of Rarity who was wearing a rather stunning outfit.

You could only stare at her as your jaw comedically crashed through the floor.

Rarity: Hello, my love.

You brought your jaw back up and smiled before taking her hand and giving it a gentle kiss.

(Y/N): Hello to you too, mon amour.

Rarity: So, what do you think?

She twirled around to help you get a better look at her outfit.

(Y/N): You look like an angel that flew straight out of heaven, Rares.

Rarity: ** I had a feeling you'd like it.

(Y/N): Well, you are a fashionista after all. You know what's beautiful and what isn't.

She gives you a peck on the lips in response to your kind words.

Rarity: Quite the charmer you are.

(Y/N): I try.

Sci-Twi came from behind you in her casual outfit.

Sci-Twi: Hey, Rarity. Wow, that's a nice dress you're wearing.

Rarity: Only the best for my darling.

She batted her eyes at you as you chuckle before turning your attention back to Sci-Twi.

(Y/N): So, are you leaving already?

Sci-Twi: Mmmhmm. The sooner the better as they say.

(Y/N): Well, if you could get around to it, could you tell the others about Shadow? We'll need as much help as we can get.

Sci-Twi: I'll give them a call.

(Y/N): Alright, thanks Twi. See you later.

Sci-Twi: Bye Y/N!

She gives you a goodbye kiss before she walks down the sidewalk back to her house as Rarity turned to you with a raised eyebrow.

Rarity: Is there something wrong with him, dear?

(Y/N): I'll explain it later, Rarity. So, shall we?

You lent your arm out for her as she happily took it.

Rarity: We shall.

With that, the two of you left your home.

Rarity: I do believe you will love the place I picked out for us. It might not be up to par with what you're used to, but hopefully you'll like it.

(Y/N): As long as I'm with you, Rares, I'm sure it will be fantastic.

Rarity couldn't help but smile at you as she pecked your lips once more.

Rarity: You always were such a gentleman. Just one of the many reasons why I love you.

(Y/N): And I love you too, my beautiful gemstone.

You and her continued down the road towards your destination until you finally arrived as you examined the place.

(Y/N): Huh, when you said it might not be up to par, I thought you were just exaggerating.

It turns out that Rarity had taken you to a fashion show of sorts.

(Y/N): I wasn't aware of any upcoming fashion shows.

Rarity: I do apologize if this isn't your exact cup of tea, dear.

(Y/N): It's fine, Rarity. I never said I wasn't willing to go to one.

Rarity: Really? Are you... absolutely sure?

(Y/N): Positive. I'm flexible with just about anything.

Rarity: Well...if you're okay with it, then I don't see any reason to change our plans. Come along, then, love.

You both walked into the crowd as the show was about to start. Soon, the lights came on as an older woman stepped up on stage. She had indigoish gray skin, pale, light grayish cerise eyes, and short pale, light grayish amaranth hair.

(Y/N): ** Hey, Rares? Who's she?

Rarity: ** Prim Hemline. One of the biggest fashion critics in the industry. I've admired her work for a very long time and I've been hoping she'll notice my work.

(Y/N): ** With how skilled you are with fashion designs, I'm sure it'd be hard not to notice your work, Rares.

Rarity: ** ~Oh, you...

She pecked your cheek as you turned your attention back to the show.

Prim Hemline: Ladies and Gentleman, I am pleased to announce the latest trends in fashion.

(Y/N): ** Is it me or does she sound exactly like Rarity?

Prim Hemline: I would also like to take this moment to thank those who are here today to bear witness as well as my fellow critics.

She gestured to a few other people in the crowd. One was a man with phthalo bluish gray skin, light sapphire bluish gray hair, and grayish amber eyes which were covered by a pair of purple tinted styled glasses. The other was an older gentleman with light gray skin, light azure eyes, and light azure hair.

Rarity: ** ** Hoity Toity and Fancy Pants are here as well?!

(Y/N): ** I'm guessing those two are big names in the fashion industry too?

Rarity: ** Yes, they are. I had no idea they'd be here alongside Prim Hemline.

(Y/N): ** Looks like you're in for a ride, Rarity.

Prim Hemline: Now, without further ado, let the show begin.

The crowd cheered as the models started coming out and strutting their stuff one by one.

Fancy Pants: I say, quite a lovely ensemble Ms. Hemline has.

Hoity Toity: Indeed. Easily, some of her best work.

The show continued on for about another hour or so until it was near to closing time as Prim Hemline addressed the audience.

Prim Hemline: And there you have it. The latest trends in fashion. Hopefully, this was an enjoyable experience for everyone here. And with that, I bid you all farewell.

The crowd began to disperse as you suddenly got an idea. You looked and noticed Prim Hemline conversing with her fellow critics as you started slowly making your way to them much to Rarity's confusion.

Rarity: Love, where are you going?

(Y/N): Oh, I just wanted to tell Prim Hemline herself that her work is amazing.

Rarity: Well, I suppose you can. Just... don't take too long, okay?

(Y/N): No worries, Rares.

You pecked her lips before heading over to the three fashion critics.

(Y/N): Excuse me, Ms. Hemline?

Your voice caught her attention as she turned to look at you.

Prim Hemline: Yes, may I help you, young man?

(Y/N): I apologize if I'm interrupting, but firstly, I just wanted to say that your latest work was stunning and a joy to watch. The way of how each suit or dress was stitched together perfectly and how beautiful they were.

Fancy Pants: Hmm, it seems that this young man has a bit of an eye for fashion.

Hoity Toity: So it would seem. But I judge things through actions, not through words, so I can't be entirely sure.

(Y/N): Well, actually, I'm not so much of a master when it comes to that. If anyone is fantastic at that around these parts it would be my girlfriend, Rarity. She's incredibly talented in that department and she even owns her own boutique.

This piqued the interest of Prim as her eyes widened slightly.

Prim Hemline: Really? May we meet her some time?

(Y/N): I'm sure she'd be thrilled to meet you. In fact, she and I actually came to see you today. She's right over there.

You pointed to Rarity as she was busy reapplying some of her makeup to notice.

Prim Hemline: Interesting...

She said before she started walking over to Rarity which surprised you somewhat. Soon enough, she made it over to her.

Prim Hemline: Ms. Rarity, is it?

Rarity froze upon hearing that voice as she slowly turned and stared up at the taller woman.

Rarity: P-P-Prim H-H-Hemline!

Prim Hemline: Your boyfriend told me that you are rather talented in the art of fashion and that you even own your own boutique. Is this true?

Rarity glanced your way as you smiled and pointed your eyes at Prim as you nodded.

Rarity: Y-Yes! It's true that I have a boutique of my own. I cannot tell you how honored I am to finally meet you in person. I've admired your work for a very long time.

Prim Hemline: I'm flattered, Ms. Rarity. If what you say is true, then perhaps I'll come by your boutique and see what you've come up with. If they meet up to my standards, then you and I can work something out together. Does that sound like a deal?

She held out her hand towards Rarity who's eyes widened before she gladly shook it.

Rarity: O-Of course! I'd be more than happy to have you at my boutique!

Prim Hemline: Then it's settled.

She then pulled out a business card and handed it to Rarity.

Prim Hemline: Call me at your earliest convenience so we can set up a date.

Rarity: I-I will work it into my schedule.

Prim Hemline: Good. I look forward to seeing your work, Ms. Rarity.

She walked back to Hoity and Fancy Pants as Rarity held a thousand yard stare in their direction as you walked up next to her.

(Y/N): Well, she seems interested in what you have to offer, Rares.

Rarity didn't say anything at first as she still maintained her stare which made you start to worry slightly. Oh no. Was this too much for her? Did you give her a lot more stress than she can handle? Rarity has mostly made clothing for the common folk, but now, she's tasked with impressing a fashion critic. Not just any fashion critic, one of the biggest names in the industry and her idol no less.

???: I agree, Prim Hemline doesn't offer to see just anyone's finest work. Many times, she declines.

A voice startled you from behind as the two of you turned around and saw a strangely familiar girl that had very pale orchid skin, hazel eyes, and grayish violet hair.

(Y/N): Wait, you look familiar. You were one of the representatives for CPA at the Friendship Games, weren't you?

???: Indeed I was, Y/N. I go by Suri Polomare.

(Y/N): Aren't you also one of Sunny Flare's accomplices?

Suri Polomare: Hmm, yes. Occasionally, I take the time to admire her work and give some feedback. There were times where we collaborated together with the help of her brother and my assistant.

(Y/N): Interesting. So, you were saying something about Prim Hemline almost never being interested in anything she's offered?

Suri nods.

Suri Polomare: In most cases, yes. I have tried to get her to take a look at my best work from time to time but she would never bother with it.

(Y/N): Huh. I wonder why it was different when I talked to her. If this were Fallout, my charisma would have been a 10... maybe even 11.

Suri Polomare: It's probably because you're so charismatic. It's what Shadow told us all many times whenever he referred to you. A real ladies man as he said and seeing as how you persuaded Prim Hemline into seeing Rarity's designs, he wasn't wrong.

(Y/N): I guess so. So, what brought you out here? Rarity and I are on a date.

Suri Polomare: ** I like to come here to see all the beautiful designs people have come up with. Though, it'd be nice to have someone that shares the same passion but beggars can't be choosers.

As you and Suri were having your conversation, Rarity was still in la la land until you and Suri noticed her.

Suri Polomare: I assume that Prim Hemline is her idol in a sense?

(Y/N): Like you wouldn't believe.

You turned to Rarity and tried to get her attention.

(Y/N): Rarity, are you fe-

You were interrupted by Rarity throwing her arms around you and kissing your face over and over again.

Rarity: BEST. BOYFRIEND. EVER!!!

(Y/N): ** I don't know about best, but amazing is what I'd probably go for.

Rarity: Then you're amazing! I've wanted to get her attention for the longest time, but I was never able to and you've gone and done it for me in a manner of a few moments! I love you so much right now, my love!

(Y/N): It was my pleasure, Rarity.

Suri couldn't help but chuckle at the amount of affection Rarity was throwing at you.

Suri Polomare: You're right, Y/N. Like I wouldn't believe.

Rarity then realized that Suri was watching the whole thing as she turned to her with an embarrassed expression.

Rarity: Um, I do apologize if you were caught off guard by that and if it made you uncomfortable in any way, Suri. Y/N has done probably the most romantic thing anyone's ever done for me, so... I really had to do that.

Suri chuckled again before waving her hand dismissively.

Suri Polomare: It's fine, Rarity. I'd probably do the same thing if I had a boyfriend who did the same thing for me.

(Y/N): Is there anyone in particular you have your eyes on, Suri?

Suri Polomare: Not at the moment, buuut...

She winked at you.

Suri Polomare: ...I'm sure that'll change soon.

(Y/N): We'll just have to wait and see.

Suri Polomare: I suppose we will. Anyways, I should be going now. It was nice talking to you two.

She waved at you both before taking her leave as you both waved back at her

Rarity: For a Shadowbolt, she seems rather friendly.

(Y/N): Well, I'm sure a lot has changed since Shadow had Principal Cinch step down from her position.

Rarity: Speaking of which, you said to Sci-Twi to tell the others about him earlier. Is he still upset over Sunny Flare?

(Y/N): No, it's something else, Rarity. It involves his pendant. Let's just say it's not exactly as beneficial to him as he thinks.

Rarity: Do you mean that it's harming him in a way?

(Y/N): Not so much physically, but mentally and emotionally, absolutely.

Rarity: Well, I have every confidence that you'll get your friend back, my love.

(Y/N): Thanks, Rares. I'm sure I can do it. Although, I might need yours and the others help to do so.

She kissed you for a moment before pulling back.

Rarity: Of course we will, dear. We know how much he means to you.

(Y/N): Thank you, Rarity. I really do hope I can bring him back. Anyway, where are we going now?

Rarity: Well, if you don't mind, I'd like you to try on some wardrobe choices that I'm sure you will adore back at my home.

(Y/N): Knowing you, I'm sure they'll be breathtaking.

Rarity: Oh, they most certainly will. Now, come along, my love.

She grabbed your hand and pulled you along towards her home. Within minutes, you made it to her rather luxurious looking home and went inside and upstairs to her room.

Rarity: Go ahead and make yourself at home, dear. I'm going to get the clothes you'll try on.

(Y/N): Will do, Rares.

Rarity then went to her closet and began rummaging through it while you sat on her bed.

???: Meow.

You heard a cat meow to the left of you. You turned and saw a cat with light turquoisish gray fur with a darker tail. It had light spring colored eyes which also had mulberryish gray eyeshadow. It was also wearing an indigo colored bow on its head along with a similarly colored collar with a bell on it.

(Y/N): I didn't know you had a cat, Rarity.

Rarity: Oh, did I never tell you? Well, her name is Opalescence, but I just call her Opal. I... wouldn't suggest petting her as she has... a bit of an attitude problem.

(Y/N): Really?

You looked over at Opal who was busy licking her paw as you hesitantly reached a hand over to her as Rarity noticed this at the corner of her eye.

Rarity: Wait, darling! I really don't think that's a-

Opalescence: Meow.
