4th Dress - dated to after the events of the earlier log

[prissy_hooves]

[Rarity is the hero of the day, having consumed one of the bottles of milk delivered to 836 Hastings in order to save her housemate's life.  Unfortunately, however, that means she is now suffering the effects of the milk herself.  Anyone in the vicinity will hear a high pitched shriek.]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[Immediately following this sound, the door to the house flies open and out runs Rarity, covered from horn to hoof in spiders.]

Spiders!  They're in my hair!  Get them off, get them off, get them off!

[She runs around the front yard in utter panic for a minute or so before dropping to the ground and rolling around, trying to get them off.  Sadly, this only serves to compound her problems, as not only does it fail to rid her of her arachnid problem, but it also gets her dirty.  And once she realizes that, she screams again.]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!  Dirt!  It's everywhere!  Get it off, get it off, get it off!

[Eventually, she just hunkers down on the ground and starts to cry, shivering in place as the spiders continue to crawl all over her and ruin her coat and mane.  This is the worst day.]

Oh, if only... that's exactly what I need right now to feel like my old self again.

Well, maybe we can find something similar around her, or at least some friends who'd be willing to clean you up like they do there? Considering how crazy things have been lately, it really sounds like you need it.

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

That's a fabulous idea! Applejack, you're a genius!

[downtoearthpony.livejournal.com]

Aw shucks, Ah was just thinking out loud there, Rarity. Ah'm glad Ah provided a good idea though. Hope it works out, and if it does, maybe see if the others want to try relaxing with ya. Ah have a feeling we might need a little pampering considering how things have been around here lately.

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll have to see if anyone is interested. Perhaps we could set something up.

[downtoearthpony.livejournal.com]

Ah'm sure folks are interested and when things are set, just let me know. Or let me know if you need any help with that idea as well.

[Rarity laughs a little, smiling. She seems to have regained her usual good cheer.]

Oh, Applejack, you really must be bored if you're volunteering to help set up a spa and beauty salon.

[Lifting a hoof, she pats her friend on the shoulder.]

But speaking quite seriously, I do appreciate it. I'll let you know if we need any assistance.

[Applejack smiles warmly, glad to see her friend doing much better, and gives a little chuckle at the bored comment.]

Well you know me, anything to help out a friend.

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

And if there's ever anything I can do for you, you'll let me know, right?

[downtoearthpony.livejournal.com]

'Course Ah will!

[Applejack then gets a sheepish look on her face.]

Trust me, Ah definitely learned mah lesson after last Applebuck season...

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

I remember hearing about that from Twilight.

[downtoearthpony.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that really wasn't one of my better moments, Ah'd have to say...

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Everypony's done some embarrassing things. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

[downtoearthpony.livejournal.com]

Still, Ah feel pretty bad mah own stubbornness caused so many ponies so much trouble...

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

We all have our rough edges. I don't think anypony holds it against you.

[downtoearthpony.livejournal.com]

Yeah, friends are forgiving like that. Ah'm pretty glad all of you guys are such great friends.

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Likewise, Applejack. We're very fortunate to have each other around in a place like this.

[downtoearthpony.livejournal.com]

We sure do! Well, Ah better get going, but if you need me for anything, you be sure to let me know, alright?

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

I will. Thank you again.
