"Ah ha ha ha ha! Just think of it as a practice run for a challenge for your minions to enjoy, Dash!" Colette teased, adding. "I think you'd look good as a girly girl!"

 

No sooner had she stepped out of The Knight had she heard Dash remark about carrying a gun… she turned to face the brash Pegasus just as the more soft spoken one piped up. She placed a hand on Fluttershy's shoulder, patting it. "Oh, there's no way in hell we're gonna let Dash use a gun! Just go on and get in, babe!"

 

She then went up to Cat, speaking in a hushed tone, as if unwanted attention was near. "Make sure no one sees that, Cat! The last thing we need is a cop up our asses!"

 

The then heard Louise state that she'll ride with her. "Okay! Follow me!" She then led the agent to to her father's car,* which was parked before Charles'. While it was by no means a trash heap, it was easily the least expensive vehicle there!

 

Colette ulocked the car remotely,opened the passenger door, went around and climbed in herself, then backed out after Charles had done so. She then awaited The Knight to lead them to the Mecca of Girldom...

The 6.7 litre, V8 turbo Diesel engine roared to life as Catherine switched the ignition and rolled out of the garage. It wasn't the least ironic vehicle to take on a shopping trip, but hey, it was comfortable and safe. As they drove through the more touristy areas, heads started to turn, though with the Lambos, Ferraris, and other import cars driving around, it wasn't that unusual. As that ran through her mind, Cat could think of nothing else but the new Aventador she left in France and how much she wanted to drive it. After about twenty to thirty minutes of driving, they arrived at Westfield mall. Cat parked the car, hopped out, and threw on a pair of Ray Bans. "Who else is ready to blow some cash on new stuff?"

 

((I haven't even heard of 90% of the stores there, but if they have something to fit your fancy, like guitars , I'd suggest you find it.))

((Ditto, so I'll just pull a Guitar Center outta my ass and stick it somewhere in the mall!))

 

Colette followed the behemoth of a SUV as it guided them down one street, then another, and another.

 

She watched as heads turned to Cat's Knight as they drove through tourist trap. Heh, spectators must've thought there was another celebrity cruising down the street-- which, truth be told, wasn't too far off! Rarity, and even Ego Meister Dash must've been dying to wave to the masses!

 

Dad's Chrysler on the other hand? No one so much as gave it a glance! Maybe Flutters would've been more comfortable riding with her and Louise? Naw, she was better off in the 'roided out 4Runner!

 

Colette parked as close as she could to Frakentank, which was across the way, three spaces down. She emerged from her car, and rejoined her girlfriend, taking her hand. She gave the mall a good, long look at the mall, a serious look on her face. She was all smiles and jokes earlier that morning, but catching the names of the stores, she gulped. This was easily one of those astronomically high end malls! "This… this place is not my speed," she said aloud. "And I work in a mall!"

@,@@Hypn0ticD,@@Fireblaze,@@Pripyat Pony, @, Dennis listened to Dashie and Fluttershy talk about guns and this made him phase out a bit while he was in the car. When they sat down after he took a minute to think about it hard enough it all came clear. He would do anything for her but he would never claim he was enjoying it no matter how much adrenaline was pumping in his veins.

"Listen Dashie... you don't want to hold a gun... you don't want to kill someone trust me... i know."

He looked at her in the eyes with a serious honest look.

"I did some pretty non-lawful things, we all did, to get you out of there... None wants to do so again. But if you want to... i gave Fluttershy a pepper spray... i could give you one as well."

He gave her one from her backpack and showed her.

"This side towards your opponent... and you press this button. It will blind and stun your opponent long enough for you to either tackle him/her and possible deliver a knockout blow or escape. Hide it somewhere where you can pull it off quickly... and be careful where you use it okay?"

Once they arrived at the mall he was almost speechless.

"Dear lord if i bought what i wanted in this mall it would be enough to leave my family bankrupt twice! Overexaggerating sure but... let's just try not to act like hella rich dudes okay?"

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

Rarity was almost speechless when they arrived at the mall. But not quite. XD "Wow, so many stores!" she gasped. "The first thing we need to do is find the manicure place. Oh, and Rainbow? You could maybe get something that suits your taste, maybe even matches your cutie mark! No need for glitter if you don't want any."

 

"I want glitter!" Pinkie squealed, bouncing up and down. "I didn't know you could get glitter on hooves here, it sounds absolutely fantabulous!"

"Okay??" Colette said in response to Dennis' remark. "Cat, you sure about this?? This place has some expensive stores!"

 

She couldn't help but smirk as Pinkie and Rarity gushed at the prospect of getting manicures. She turned to gauge the other tomboy's reaction before addressing her girlfriend. "Manicures aren't my thing, but do you wanna go with them, or futz around with me for a bit?"

 

She awaited the Pegasus' response as the gaggle of humans and mares made their way to the main entrance, not being able to help but notice the occasional stare cast from some of the other shoppers as they passed by,some whispering amongst themselves, whilst others openly pointed to one of the Ponies… Colette had seen that before… it was now just a matter of time before some of them started to test the waters and approach…

"Ain't it just..?" Sebastian said quietly, under his breath as he circled the destruction briefly, making a pass over the vehicles in the lot and strafing them with weapon fire to demolish them, before moving off finally. He remained silent for as long as the others did, until he heard AJ and Twilight speak up, the former asking where they were going and the latter asking how long. Granted, the Southern accented woman was asking Logan, but Sebastian answered in his stead - after all, he knew and Logan didn't, "I'm taking you to the Deus Solis, an old USN battleship about a hundred miles off the coast of Miami, and Orchestrator's headquarters!" He had to yell in order to be heard over the Hawk's rotors, "We're just inside Kentucky, and considering Miami's at the southernmost tip of the US... That's at least fourteen hours or so if driving! Luckily for us however, we've got a UH-60! These things have a top speed of nearly 190 MPH! Estimating the distance between here and our destination is about... 1897.416 kilometers - that's 1179 miles, give or take - so we've got roughly six or seven hours till we're there!

 

"I suggest those of you who aren't on 'watch the pilot' duty get some sleep while you can! I'll wake you up up when we're about two hours out and give you guys a lowdown on what to expect... Trust me, you're going to want sleep for this."

 

Sebastian flipped a switch and the doors on the side of the chopper slid shut, after which, he gunned the controls and took the Blackhawk to its top speed.

For the first hour of the trip, Logan remained in the co pilot's seat. After that ended, he woke Angie and she took his spot while he got rest. Once her hour was finished, Angie would go to wake up Logan, but be diverted by Diliges - who had been awake anyway - offering to take third watch, reasoning that he was technically tasked to keep an eye on the pilot anyway. Angie conceded and the cycle continued until they were only a few hours away from the Deus Solis.

A knock sounded on the chamber door. Kai'sa looked up from the weapons laid out on her table and stepped over, opening it. Outside was an agent known as Maestro, "Ah. Sarah. What is it?" She asked, referring to the woman by her real name for the first time in years.

 

It clearly surprised her, but she shook it off and saluted her, "Ma'am... The Warlord's Blackhawk been spotted coming towards us. It's almost time, ma'am."

 

The Changeling sighed, seeming content, and walked over to a wardrobe in the corner of her quarters, Sarah remaining in the doorway as she removed a black chest piece of armor that looked faintly like a carapace. Kai'sa ran her fingers over it briefly before gesturing for Sarah to help her put it on. The agent obliged - surprised to see how light the armor was, despite how heavy it looked - and stepped behind Kai'sa as the Changeling inspected herself in the mirror. She gave a smile and turned to walk past Sarah to the table and retrieve her armaments before heading to the door, "Radio Darius, Sarah. It's time."

 

The blond haired agent nodded, and sent the signal.

@,

 

For the last several hours, the agents would remain in the room. Ramirez and Nedry and their cronies occasionally moving about, taking turns standing at the door - avoiding the window where Book and Boone sat - playing cards or taking quick naps behind their visors. Book was among those who dozed, occasionally. However, he was wide awake when the time came for him to be needed. The man sT up a little straighter, putting on hand to his helmet above his ear and gripping his M240 SAW's handle with the other. Whatever was said on the other end, he nodded and stood, taking his LMG in both hands. He flicked the switch marked 'safety' to 'fire', and as Boone and the other agents in the room looked at him, the giant of a man opened fire. Nedry, who was napping, was the first to go, flayed by a hail of armor piercing 7.62mm. bullets. Before Ramirez or the others could recover from their shock and retaliate, they too fell under his hail of fire. Boone stares at Book, clearly frightened as the man turned to face him and leveled his LMG. But when he fired, Boone did not feel the bite of the bullets fearing throw his armor and flesh. He did hear two armored bodies crumple to the floor after the cacophony ended, and he turned to see the two door guards lying dead.

 

Boone's attention was snapped back to Book as the man leaned down, removing his helmet to look him straight in the eye - Boone couldn't help but notice that Book was advanced in age, being easily in his late seventies. Boone could only hope he was that fit come a time he was that age - the younger agent's thoughts were detailed when Book spoke, "You have a problem with that, son?" The elder African American man asked.

 

Boone shook his head. Book continued, "You willing to help me protect this here Queen as per Kai'sa's - or Artisan, as I suppose you know her - orders, and ignore anything from Orchestrator?" Boone tentatively nodded.

 

Book smiled and straightened back to his full height and turning to look at Queen Chrysalis, giving her a broad smile briefly before speaking, "I apologize for that. Had to keep the plan under wraps till it was time to start up. Hold on, let me get you out of there, and I'll explain everything as best I can." As he finished speaking, the man walked around to the doorway, opening it and holding a hand out to the Changeling Queen, "Master Sergeant, retired, Darius Salvador Book, at your service ma'am."

Now two hours out from the Solis, Sebastian turned on the red light signal within the Blackhawk's passenger chamber, before remembering most of them were probably asleep, and instead slowed the helicopter a bit and gestures to the one on watch, who was Angie, to wake them up. The EMT stood, bracing herself in the doorway, and raised her voice slightly to be heard, "Hey! Everyone! Wake up... We're nearly there. As you can probably see, Sebastian hasn't killed us. He's going to explain what we should expect down there..." She sat back down, twisted slightly to see him and the others.

 

Sebastian glances back briefly before speaking up, "Not going to lie, you guys are straight up crazy for even thinking of trying this! Orchestrator's practically turned the Deus Solis into a floating fortress, and his home guard dogs are all ex military elite. Those guys you took out at the motel? Grunts. Still pretty damn skilled, so it's still impressive you took them down, but they're nothing like the people he keeps on the home front. Former Spetznas, Green Beret, he's got folks from all over. Seriously, if the guy wanted to go into the PMC business, he could probably give even G4S a run for its money, and he's nowhere near as big as them.

 

"Orchestrator's got them all informed on what you guys are capable of, to a degree at least. If what I heard one of you say is true, then he's one of you... I don't know his motives behind wanting you all captured, but he's got his people trained to deal with you pretty well. Except flash bangs - which will be tossed at you and will blind and deafen you and really screw up your equilibrium. They have a three or four second fuse, but the bastards'll probably cook them so they go off sooner and minimize the chance of getting them thrown back.

 

"Also tasers, which fire a couple prongs at you which, if they get stuck in, can transfer an absolute shit ton of electricity into your system and shut you down long enough to be bagged. They'll probably use tear gases as well, and of course, bullets," he pauses for breath, and possibly for dramatic effect, "Of course, that's if they catch us, which, not going to sugar coat this, is likely. This place is pretty much Alcatraz on steroids, and mobile. Security cams almost everywhere, and several patrol groups around the clock. Not to mention, we have to land on a designated pad, and chances are a group will be waiting for us, or worse, Orchestrator or Artisan themselves. If that's the case, We have a couple options. A: I can mow them down the this bird's guns and set off all sorts of alarms and probably be shot out of the sky within minutes.

B: We land and try to take them by surprise, which is a stupid option, because all we have is a bolt action deer rifle, a semi auto civilian AR, my 9mm SMG and the .50 cal, which is would be our best bet, if it wasn't scoped and nearly impossible to shoot without mounting it I'm the first place.

Or option C, and both most likely to succeed and most ridiculous, we wing it.

 

"Assuming B or C work, we can try and sneak into the ship and get to the Queen, take out whatever guards she has and get her back to the bird, them we're home free. Until they send squads after us, in which case, we're screwed. You may think we could try and seek asylum somewhere, but Orchestrator's got a long list of contacts and potential blackmail. Would not be surprised if even asylum couldn't stop him," he sighs, "This is pretty much hopeless. If any of you believe in some higher power, I suggest you pray to it. We're going to need all the help we can get..."

 

--

 

Logan obliged Sebastian's last sentence with action. Not much sooner after he finished speaking, the officer bowed his head, closed his eyes and clasped his hands in a silent prayer that would last for several minutes. A prayer for safety of all his allies involved in this. A prayer things would go adequately. A prayer for success.

 

As soon as he finished, Logan sighed and picked up his rifle, checking it to make sure it was loaded and that he had extra magazines within easy reach, and eventually did the same to his pistol, and after he was sure he was prepared, Logan took Applejack's hand in his own, kissed her and said nothing beyond, "I love you. Remember that." Angie followed his lead with the guns and gave Shawn a nervous smile, before a quick kiss. Diliges would merely look out of the window at the land as it went by, working himself into his combat mindset.

 

After whatever would happen in the remaining hour, the Deus Solis eventually came into sight. Sebastian continued to bring them in, muttering something about it being odd that there was no radio hail under his breath. Eventually, the helicopter would begin to descend, knowing that opening fire on them would make their chances of success even less likely. And Sebastian would curse as the ship grew closer when he saw who stood on deck. There was Artisan - wearing some sort of black armor the Changelings may did familiar - and a full squad of agents lined up behind her. She looked smug with herself, and it pissed him off. All the same, Sebastian set the helicopter down and stood, looking to the Rescue Team, "Well folks... Let's go shake hands with hell." Even as he spoke, the doors to the chopper would be forced open, and beyond them, Artisan would be standing with her smug smile and her agents with their guns held ready, but despite their being aimed at the Blackhawk's inhabitants, the agents would not have their fingers on the triggers - a sign they were not planning to fire. The woman, standing with her arms crossed until that point would spread them wide as she spoke, "You lot are the Rescue Team? I've been eagerly waiting to meet you. I know you're probably all confused, and would like nothing more than to see me dead, but I would advise against that. My agents wouldn't appreciate it." She would nod towards the gun wielding men and women briefly before continuing, "I'm sure Sebastian - Warlord - has explained all of it already, but he was not completely informed. Firstly, Artisan is merely a call sign. I am like you," she would look to Cicada and Diliges particularly here, "My true name is Kai'sa. Changeling Hive Commander beneath your Queen's mother." As she would speak, her stark red hair would shift to black, and her hazel eyes to turquoise with the unmistakeable green aura of the Changeling.

 

Kai'sa would cross her arms again, "And you lot are going to help me free the current Queen, Chrysalis, as I'm sure you came here with the intent to do," turning on her heel, Kai'sa would begin to walk away, "Come along. I will explain all as we go." Without even waiting to check if they followed, she would continue, her agents waiting to escort the team behind her.

@@00Pony,@@Pripyat Pony, The sound of gunshots at first shook the Queen like an alarm clock. But when the second set of fire reached her ear she realized what it was. The new data she received about her environment acted like an adrenaline shot and made her stand up and jump from her comfy position in the blink of an eye. When the sergeant talked to her she smiled hesitantly back. Once they had a chance to shake hands she look into the retired veteran's eyes and spoke

"Your kind is cunning... you know how to wear a mask without having to shapeshift. I applaud your cunning... such things are very appreciated in changeling society. Now... i suppose you have a lot to tell me and i oughta be smart enough to listen right? I just hope i have something to repay you with once this is all over... as i said before... i don't forget the kindness i am given."

She didn't know his intentions and she would always keep an eye on her surroundings... but she would make sure not to nag him with her doubt and reserve her energy for the fight ahead. She swore there would be vengeance... payment for the crimes Justus did. Changeling justice would get to him.

Before she knew it, she was jolted awake by a bight red light, followeby Angie calling out. "A wha…?" She strecthed as best she could as Sebastian began to address them...

 

"Like we have a choice??" The cowpony began. "Like it or not, we need the queen ta get home, and if'm that means we gotta go up against an army of humans that can kill us a hundred times over, then so be it.

No sense in backing down now!"

Both twins fell silent once more as Sebastian informed the rescue party of needing to land on a desinated pad, frowning all the more. None of the options sounded ideal, but bleak as their options may be, they could do nothing but press foward, and see if luck and fate were on their side…

"Well, how in Celestia's name are we asposed ta do that if we land right in front??" Applejack asked in response to Sebastian's strategy. "Fat lot a' good if we're caught right off the bat!"

 

The more Sebastian divulged about this Orchestrator fella, the less sure she felt they were going to be able to pull off rescuing the queen… The enemies they were about to face were like nothing they ever faced in Equestria! No magic, no wings, but they seemed far more cruel than even the most evil villain the Mane6 had ever faced. She continued look to Logan as best she could as he said a prayer, wondering whether or not she should do the same.

He needed do his best to keep the princess safe in case Cicada decided to play Rambo again…

"At least she's willing tae help us…" he said, being the first to take the risk and stepping out of the blackhawk.

Rainbow Dash! and Fluttershy...

 

"I want to protect my friends..." Muttered Dash, as she begrudgingly took the spray, looked it over and slipped it into a pocket. "I've taken on Manticores and Dragons, and now I'm here and can't even do anything against..."

 

She grinned and shrugged.

 

""Hey, you're cool and everything, but you've hardly got massive claws or teeth, do you? You don't even have hooves!

 

...

 

It was to be expected really... she was pretty awesome after all. Still, with the three back home Dash at least had the benefit of actually knowing them. She hadn't factored in strangers. Or the fact that they were in public. Or how many there might be...

 

In short, she hadn't given it much thought at all.

 

"Oh, hey!" She stated blankly, taken aback be how quickly they had been noticed. "Uh, yeah! I'm... me!"

 

"... uhm... hi..."

 

"So..." Dash tried again: voice recovering some of its cocky tone as she glanced quickly about - stepping protectively in front of Fluttershy: why did this place have to be so big? "Yeah, uh... Great to see you! Whoever you are..."

 

"... hi..."

 

Fluttershy in turn stood stock still. She wasn't as bad with crowds as she had been in the paste - far from it! It was just that... these people knew her, and she didn't knew them! it was like that time she had worked with Photo Finish all over again...

 

"... Rarity is... over there..." She said in a barely audible voice - hoping to direct some attention onto one of her friends who would appreciate it.

 

---------------

 

Twilight Sparkle.

 

"Right." Nodded the princess - grasping the hand and using it to heave herself to her feet: pausing to nod at the human before stepping out of the helicopter. She looked around carefully - doing everything in her power to at least look like she had control of the situation.

 

Things were already far beyond anything that she had dealt with before - she needed to stay calm and see things to the end. With a bit of luck, logic and reasoning would prove to be the only weapons they needed.

 

And failing that... well, she was the element of magic. If anyone could bring magic here, surely it was her?

((Colette's with Flutters, and Dennis is with Dash -- and it's glomp, not glomb!))

 

"Umm, what he said!" Colette said, indicating Dennis. "And as for us being in California… we're, uhh… filming a few skits for Dashie!" She added.

 

"Really?! That's so AWESOME!" the first Brony exclaimed. "Yeah, I know! But for now, we gotta get!" With that, she led Dennis, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash away from the fans, wrapping an arm around the timid Pegasus as she went.

 

Colette spotted two girls who had found Rarity, sighed, and went over to rescue the Unicorn as well. "Girls, I know you're all excited to see Rarity and all, but she's getting her nails done at the moment… Maybe she can catch up with you later??"

 

((Your fans, so you reply, Nios! I'll get some fans on Pinkie and Fluttershy in my next post!

 

And is anyone willing to play Colette's fan??))

Rainbow Dash!

 

"Heh... heh, yeah!"

 

Dash allowed herself to be hurried away to (relative) solitude.

 

"Sorry, I don't know what came over me! I mean, it was fine when it was just the crusaders, even when all of Ponyville or Cloudsdale was watching me... but it's kinda... I dunno, there guys know who I am, and I've never even seen them before! It's cool I guess, but..." She shook her head. "I'm fine. It's cool. Just a bit overwhelming, that's all!"

 

Glancing back at the small horde of fans that had began to form, she grinned and gave a short, jaunty wave in their direction.

 

"It's hard being so awesome that everyone wants to know you, guess that's my curse!"

 

---------------

 

Fluttershy...

 

"I don't like it." Mumbled Fluttershy - firmly refusing to look back at the strangers behind her... how many had there been? Ten? A hundred? A million? It felt like a million anyway - maybe more!

 

"Aweh, c'mon 'Shy, its not so bad!" Dash interjected. Fluttershy shook her head.

 

"I don't like being famous, I just want to be me." She said firmly. "Nice, safe, quiet, safe, not famous, safe Fluttershy."

"Ahh, why so humble, Dash??" Colette asked with a roll of her eyes.

It was good to see that she was back to her normal self! "You guys enjoy your manicures and getting all dolled up. Imma try and find a place that might have some appeal… catch ya later. Come on, Flutters!"

 

Colette then wrapped an arm around the Pegasus' waist before leading her down the path lined with expensive stores…

 

----

 

"Augh~! Everything's so friggin' expensive!" Colette grumbled upon leaving the 7 For All Mankind, Fluttershy in tow. Paying over $100 for a pair of jeans was outlandish in Colette's mind, and it'd be a very cold day in hell before she'd let Fluttershy do the same!

 

She found an empty bench sat down, leaning her head back as far as she could, groaning loudly. "This place really isn't my speed, Flutters. I know Cat means well, but this place is just so… so…" Colette trailed off, as the most beautiful thing in the mall caught her eye-- a Guitar Center, a grand opening banner draped beneath the sign. "Oh, fuck yeah!"

 

In a flash, she scooped Fluttershy up and raced through the entryway. It didn't take long for Colette to spot the object of her desire: a used 1967 Lenny Kravitz Limited Edition Flying V. "Hello, gorgeous!" She breathed happily as she carefully picked it up from the display. "Ohh, this is my dream guitar, Flutters! I wanna see if I can play it!"

 

Colette quickly flagged down a store Rep, and asked if there were any amps she could borrow. Luckily, he led her to one near the back of the store. "You play??" He asked, to which Colette responded with a smug "Maybe!"

 

In no time flat, Colette was plugged in, tuned up, and ready to go. "Hey, check this out, Flutter Butter!" Colette than began to play:

 

VVVVVV Guitar Medley:

 

She knew Fluttershy still wasn't quite used to her playing, but Colette just had to play! It had been a good long while since she was able to shred anything!

 

Once she was done, she looked to the Pegasus, grinning from ear to ear. "How was that??"

Before they got into any real shopping, Catherine sent Colette a text. Just wondering if you need any cash. You kinda took off before I could give you any. She then followed the group, led by Rarity, to the one and only spa in the mall, Kristy's produits de beaute (Beauty Supply). She giggled to herself and sent another text. I knew Rarity had some sort of girl compass. She found the only spa in this place right away.

@,@@Hypn0ticD,@@Fireblaze,@@Pripyat Pony, @,"Aaaaw" said the Rarity fan. She was dissapointed that she didn't have time to meet them. "Well i need to respect your privacy i guess... God knows how many times i've been glomped too... Hope you have time later!" 

Dennis responded to Colette's and Rainbow Dash's comment. "Well it's good to see a little bit of humility on your part, but hey don't let this stop you from having fun! I mean... look at Colette and Flutters. Hang on a sec... come here..." he guided him to the nearby display where one of the synthesizers were there for testing.

"Don't think that Colette's the only one that's got the jazz! Let's do this!" he cracked his fingers and gave a sly smirk as he thought of what to play "Since your cutie mark is a cloud with a Rainbow thunder in it how about for ROLLING THUNDER!!!"

Rarity went with Pinkie and Cat to the spa. It was almost like old times, cept this time Fluttershy had gone off with Colette, which Rarity supposed was only natural.

 

"We ought to get the works," she said. "I'd love some of those diamantes on my nails. It's been a long time since I was able to get pampered!"

 

Pinkie bounced and giggled. "I want the glittery ones with the balloons!" she exclaimed.

Charles then went into a Clothing store have everything, as he began to buy Shirts, Pants, Underware, Socks and Team Clothing too. While sunglasses. Then he pay for them as his nephew nick buy a few games from FYE, so he decide buy clothing for Nick too and was looking at the price also. Then he was thinking about something and then keep shopping too.

@Pripyat Pony

 

As they sat there getting their nails done, Catherine turned to Rarity. "So, I guess now would be as good a time as ever to ask what it would be like to be a model. Also, would I be able to be a model if I were to stay as I am? Surely it would be rather strange to model that sort of clothing in this body." She tried to keep references to anything pony to a minimum so as not to attract any attention

@, Rarity smiled. "There are differences, yes," she replied. "But that wouldn't make much trouble. You see, it's the clothes that everypony will be looking at, not the shape of the model wearing them. As a model, your role would be to show off my designs to those who want to purchase them. When a sale is made, I will make new clothes for the buyer to fit ponies. It's no difference to making a dress that fits an earth pony, then adapting it so that it can fit a pegasus."
