11th Dress

[prissy_hooves]

[If anyone was ever wondering how Rarity would deal with suddenly being forced to live in a hellish post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland, the answer is 'not well.'  She's just lying there in the middle of what used to be Hastings Boulevard with the tattered remains of the fluffy pink robe she wears to bed every night just barely hanging off her form, completely shell-shocked and in the middle of a complete breakdown.]

This... this can't be!  My sewing studio... my precious fabric and gemstones!  My designs!  They're all gone!  Gone forever!

[Rarity dramatically lifts a hoof to her forehead, rolling around on her back and sobbing hysterically.]

How could this happen?  This is the worst day ever!

[Punctuating each word with what is probably still a rather over-dramatic thrash of her body, even under these circumstances, Rarity eventually ceases all movement and just continues to lie there in the street.]

I don't want to live in a world where fashion is dead.  Oh, sweet nothingness... come and claim me!  Steal away my sight, that I may no longer be forced to look upon this colorless landscape!

[And now she's mock-fainting.  A loud sigh escapes her lips as her eyes close.  Anyone who's even bothering to pay the slightest bit of attention should realize she's not dead, and is just being a huge drama queen.  But there she lies, all the same.]

Yay, I knew you were alive!

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'm alive.

[siiiiiiiigh]

Oh, Rarity, there's no need to sound so disappointed!

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

But my studio, Pinkie... my life's work! It's all ruined!

[partysense.livejournal.com]

That is no reason to just be a big ol' quitter on life like a silly billy willy nilly filly! Cheer up, Rarity, it's not the end of the world!

...

Actually, it is, I think, but we can always start over!

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

This is quite a bit to rebuild...

[partysense.livejournal.com]

Think of it as a fresh canvas ready for new inspiration!

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

[Wow, she's almost speechless over here.]

You really do have a marvelous talent for looking at the bright side of things, Pinkie.

[Pinkie beams proudly, glad that she's been able to help a little.]

Oooohhh, Rarity, I'm glad you could see the silver lining! I couldn't possibly forgive myself if you stayed sad about this always!

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Well, somepony's going to have to lead this brave new world into the future of fashion, after all. And that pony might as well be me! It's like being the ultimate trendsetter, if you think about it.

[partysense.livejournal.com]

Exactly! And that's way cool!

[frilly-filly.livejournal.com]

Way cool indeed!

[Rarity laughs a little.]

Thank you, Pinkie Pie! I think that's exactly what I needed to hear to get my spark back.

[Beaming with gratitude!]
