16th Dress

[prissy_hooves]

[Action; 947 Beulah Street; morning]

[Ah, another beautiful morning in Mayfield.  Rarity's eyes slowly flutter open, and she sits up in bed, stretching her arms out above her head and yawning.

...Wait a minute.  Arms?  Since when does she have arms?

And for that matter, since when does she sleep with a young blonde-haired girl next to her?

This is all very confusing and distressing, so Rarity does exactly what anyone who knows her might expect her to do in a situation like this.  Which is to say, she lets out a scream - in a boy's voice, but a scream nonetheless - and begins violently shaking the sleeping figure next to her.]

Wake up!  Wake up, I say!  What is the meaning of this?

[Phone; filtered from drones]

[There's the sound of a telephone being picked up and clattering to the floor several times before Rarity gets a proper handle on how grabbing and holding things with human hands and fingers works.  A voice sounding very much like a certain male Vocaloid twin comes over the line after clearing his throat.]

This is so embarrassing...

Ah, hello.  This is Rarity, difficult as that may be to believe.  Would anypony care to explain what in the name of Equestria is going on in this town today?  I've woken up in a body that is decidedly not my own.  I can only assume that somepony has similarly found themselves in my own body in return, and I should very much like to speak with whoever that may happen to be.  And please, for the love of harmony, don't touch anything in my studio!

[Action; around Mayfield]

[Well, since it looks like this is going to last as long as the town wants it to, Rarity's decided to make the best of things.  She couldn't find any acceptable clothing in Len's closet, but thankfully Rin had no shortage of cute outfits in her own.  And since they're twins anyway, their body types are similar enough that Rarity's managed to make it work.  So in what is perhaps one of the most confusing displays today, there is a figure happily strolling through the streets of Mayfield who looks like Rin Kagamine, in the body of Len Kagamine, with the mind of Rarity.  Have fun puzzling that one out, folks.]

That you do! [Grins] Is there anything I can assist you with, Miss Rarity? [It's odd to call her that while looking like Len...]

[bedazzloid]

Unless you happen to know how to return me to my own body, I'm afraid there isn't much you can do to help. I've already managed to figure out how to walk on two legs, which was an ordeal in and of itself.

[thepurpleway]

That's a pretty big step, yes. [He hates feeling useless!] Well, I don't know how to get you back into your body, but I can buy you something to eat?

[bedazzloid]

That's very kind of you. I think I'll take you up on that offer.

[thepurpleway]

I think there's a bakery in town that has a small restaurant. Have you been there? It sounds interesting!

[bedazzloid]

Oh, yes, it's a charming little place.

[thepurpleway]

Then let's go! I'm getting a bit hungry myself. Such an odd feeling, still...

[bedazzloid]

Well, then, lead the way!

[This seems natural enough, so Rarity loops an arm inside Gakupo's, strolling along together with him.]

[thepurpleway]

[ALKSJFH What--

Gakupo has nothing against looping arms with Rarity. None! But...this is Len's body. How awkward! His smile seems genuine enough, but he's dying on the inside and hoping Rin nor Gumi doesn't catch this. Or the police.]

I believe it's not that far from here. [So off he goes to lead them.]

[bedazzloid]

Good. I hadn't noticed what I hunger I'd managed to work up getting used to walking in a human body.

[Yup, nothing wrong with this at all. Rarity just walks along with him, normal as can be, whistling a tune to herself as they go.]

[thepurpleway]

Once you get used to it, it doesn't take up so much energy. [Speaking from experience.]

[bedazzloid]

Yes, I imagine that would be the case.

[thepurpleway]

I'd imagine Len would be having the same difficulty...beeeecause how could anyone be as great as you?! [Nervous laugh! Please don't be angry, Rarity!]

[bedazzloid]

[Nah, she knows dealing with a pony body must be hard.]

Honestly, I had a much bigger problem with the fact that he had completely neglected to brush my mane this morning.

[thepurpleway]

I'm not surprised by that at all, really.

[bedazzloid]

And after I went to such pains to make his body look so fabulous! It's insulting, really.

[thepurpleway]

I can completely understand that.

Although Len may be a bit older than myself, he's still a kid. He doesn't brush his own hair that much, I believe.

[bedazzloid]

Well, somepony should really teach him about personal grooming.

[thepurpleway]

I would, but I doubt he would listen to me. [Besides the fact that he's still a bit bitter the twins tricked him.]

[bedazzloid]

And even worse, think of all the precious work hours I'm losing because of this nonsense!

[thepurpleway]

Don't you have anyone to help with that?

[bedazzloid]

You mean an assistant? No, not as such. I've always worked alone.

[thepurpleway]

You'll be working a lot harder without help, you know. [He sounds concerned.]

[bedazzloid]

True, but it's so hard finding good help.

[thepurpleway]

Of course I would be glad to assist you. It's the least I can do for the wonderful clothes you made for me.
