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.]

[bedazzloid]

I think more than likely our bodies have been switched with the two humans who normally live here. Considering the town's usual brand of nonsense, it seems like a reasonable explanation.

[apples_to_oranges]

Oh, that makes more sense alright. Ah just never saw....whoever you are now before.

What about me? Am Ah someone you recognize? Because Ah sure don't look familiar to mahself right now...

[bedazzloid]

No, I've never seen the body you're in before either.

[She pushes herself up, swinging her human legs over the side of the bed.]

Well, we're not going to get very far just sitting in bed all day.

[Rarity makes a completely failed attempt at standing, immediately wobbling and falling over with a loud yell.]

...You didn't see that!

[apples_to_oranges]

[Applejack stifles a chuckle, but is still smiling and doesn't say a word as she makes an attempt to stand of her own and falls flat on her face.]

...Right, so Ah Pinkie promise to not seeing that if you do the same for me?

[bedazzloid]

Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.

[She faithfully executes the motions of the sacred Pinkie Pie promise, even poking Len's body in the eye and rubbing it.]

...Now, I suppose our first challenge is learning how to walk again.

[apples_to_oranges]

[Applejack follows suit, miming the motions, though she more slaps her eye than poke it, as she's not used to fingers just yet.]

Ah'm willing to wait on the walking thing if we figure out how to stand without falling over...

[bedazzloid]

Well, it can't be too difficult. The humans do it all the time.

[apples_to_oranges]

Maybe we're just over-thinking it? Ah mean, you seemed to be moving pretty natural when you were screaming your head off earlier...

[bedazzloid]

What are you suggesting?

[apples_to_oranges]

[Applejack has dragged herself up onto the bed as she talks.]

Just saying we might need a push to make us stop thinking about how we're suppose to move and just let our bodies move on their own.

But that's easier said than done, Ah suppose...

[bedazzloid]

Perhaps it's simply a matter of practicing.

[apples_to_oranges]

Maybe, but it's hard to practice something we have no clue about. It's like we're trying to take our first steps all over again...

[Now she's trying to stand up again, but hasn't let go of the edge of the bed just yet. Mostly just getting those feet things planted suitable apart....]

[bedazzloid]

Yes, it is rather awkward...

[Rarity hoists herself up, leaning against the endtable and staring down at her feet.]

How do they use these things?

[apples_to_oranges]

Ah always thought it had something to do with the coverings they put on them... They look pretty odd without them.

[bedazzloid]

Well, then, perhaps we should try finding those.

[apples_to_oranges]

[Applejack moves from furnishing to furnishing around the room.]

Maybe they keep them in the closet here, you think?

[Almost to the closet door now... Least what she hopes is the closet door...]

[bedazzloid]

[As the closet door opens, Rarity's eyes light right up.]

Oh my! Look at all of these lovely dresses!

[Suddenly having no problems with standing or moving around, Rarity springs from the bed and runs over to the closet to start looking at the clothing hanging there.]

[apples_to_oranges]

[Applejack doesn't really move aside fast enough, and Rarity suddenly going into the closet just knocks her off balance, causing her to flop to the side.]

Yeah....dresses... Anything in there that looks like mah hat?

[bedazzloid]

No, nothing like that, but just look at this darling ribbon! Oh, it would look just lovely on you!

[apples_to_oranges]

...Please tell me you aren't thinking of using me as a dress form while Ah'm trying to get use to walking on two legs.

And what about something less...fancy in there?

[bedazzloid]

...No, I'm afraid it's all dresses.

[apples_to_oranges]

[Applejack just sighs, not really up to arguing what with trying to figure out how to move.]

Well, what about those hoof coverings hue-mins wear? See if that will help us walk...

...And can you try to find a simple dress in there?

[If she was going to be stuck wearing a dress, she'd rather it not be one full of frills and ribbons.]
