  1. 1.
    >Living in Ponyville
  2. 2.
    >Finally used to the shorter doorframes
  3. 3.
    >You've been visiting the white one a few times a week to get some formal clothes fitted
  4. 4.
    >Dusk Shine insisted on it because of some meeting thing that was coming up in, like, five months
  5. 5.
    >The fashionista seems to have made a game of being elusive about his name
  6. 6.
    >Half of your meetings are making guesses at his name
  7. 7.
    >The other half is listening to him talk about advances in non-pony fashion while he has you try on clothes that can't exactly be described as comfortable
  8. 8.
    >You can't say you don't enjoy the time together, though
  9. 9.
    >His excitement is infectious, and he is pretty cute
  10. 10.
    >Plus, he walks with a fruity little sway which moves his tail enough that you occasionally get a decent view of the goods
  11. 11.
    >Some days, it's difficult to keep composure while he's taking measurements
  12. 12.
    >And he's getting better with the bipedal anatomy thing
  13. 13.
    >You almost had a decent dress shirt last time
  14. 14.
    >Almost
  15. 15.
    >It still tried to compress your shoulders into your neck, but it's progress
  16. 16.
    >He seemed pretty confident that the next one would be perfect
  17. 17.
    >You open the door to the Boutique and call out
  18. 18.
    "Hey, uh, R-Radiance? Look, I'm becoming inclined to give up on the name thing, but I'm here!"
  19. 19.
    >Something is off
  20. 20.
    >Specifically, the lights
  21. 21.
    >It's dark, everything is clean and put away, and the whole place feels abandoned
  22. 22.
    >Maybe he had to leave to buy something, but why was the door unlocked?
  23. 23.
    >Definitely not right
  24. 24.
    >You creep into the building, looking around for signs of life
  25. 25.
    "Hey, dude, you home? I hope I'm not walking in on a burglary in progress or something."
  26. 26.
    >You don’t like that you just gave yourself that idea
  27. 27.
    >Now you can hear your pulse
  28. 28.
    >You walk as quietly as you can through the showroom floor and into the kitchen
  29. 29.
    >Clean, dark, devoid of life, and slightly chilly
  30. 30.
    >The freezer door is slightly ajar, and the enchantment inside is trying its best to keep the contents cold
  31. 31.
    >You push the machine closed and continue to the stairs, peeking into the laundry room as you pass it
  32. 32.
    >Also empty
  33. 33.
    >You're still a touch nervous about freezer looting burglars when you hear the sob from upstairs
  34. 34.
    >That sounds like... whatever his name is!
  35. 35.
    >The burglars have captured the fashion horse!
  36. 36.
    >Those fiends!
  37. 37.
    >Who knows what they're doing to him!
  38. 38.
    >You rush upstairs and look frantically between the doors
  39. 39.
    >You reach toward the closest door but hear another sob from the furthest one
  40. 40.
    >You reach the door in a fraction of a second and pull at the latch
  41. 41.
    >Crap, locked
  42. 42.
    >Another series of wracking sobs from inside
  43. 43.
    >"Go away. Leave me alone, please."
  44. 44.
    >How dare those monstrous ponies torment such a generous soul!
  45. 45.
    >rage.exe
  46. 46.
    >There is no way you'll let them get away with this!
  47. 47.
    >Stepping back, you roll up your sleeve and brace yourself
  48. 48.
    >You charge the door, letting out a fierce battle cry
  49. 49.
    >The latch breaks free with a resounding crack as the door swings open, and you go sprawling into the room
  50. 50.
    >Adrenaline pumping, you push yourself up and take in the room
  51. 51.
    >There’s nopony but the fashionista in here...
  52. 52.
    >He's lying on that fainting couch that you've seen him pull out of nowhere when you make a particularly bad guess at his name
  53. 53.
    >He's also wrapped in a blanket, has a spoon and tub of ice cream hovering next to him, and is looking at you with an expression of wide-eyed shock
  54. 54.
    >Those eyes are looking red and swollen, and his usually neat mane is an absolute mess
  55. 55.
    >The ice cream on the spoon takes the moment of silence as its moment to escape, landing with a resounding plop
  56. 56.
    >That breaks the spell
  57. 57.
    >"Anon, what in Equestria did you do that for?!"
  58. 58.
    >rage.exe disabled
  59. 59.
    "Uhhh, burglars?"
  60. 60.
    >"Burglars?"
  61. 61.
    "Yeah, I, uh, thought you weren't here because it was dark and that maybe someone broke in since the door was unlocked and the freezer was open, and uhhh-"
  62. 62.
    >You glance at the tub of ice cream as it slowly descends to the floor in a cloud of magic
  63. 63.
    "- and then I heard you crying and thought the burglars had captured you for some reason, so I rushed up here to help."
  64. 64.
    >As you tell your story, the shock and some of the melancholy melt away to be replaced by a bit of mirth.
  65. 65.
    >He raises a hoof to his muzzle to mask a little chuckle
  66. 66.
    >"Well, Mr. Anonymous, you certainly know how to crash a pity party."
  67. 67.
    >You sheepishly look at the crack in the door and the broken latch.
  68. 68.
    "Sorry, I can pay for that."
  69. 69.
    >"Pshh, don't worry about it. Tumbler Twist insisted that she owes me a favor after I helped with her brother's wedding."
  70. 70.
    >He wipes away some of the tears from his face
  71. 71.
    "Well, alright, I suppose."
  72. 72.
    >You drop down into a squat in front of the white stallion
  73. 73.
    "So, what's got you all in a funk like this, man?"
  74. 74.
    >He gives a patient smile and a little sniffle before sitting up and motioning for you to sit
  75. 75.
    >"Oh, nothing you need to worry about, Anonymous. I'm just being a silly stallion wallowing in..."
  76. 76.
    >He twirls a hoof in thought as you shift your position to sit next to him
  77. 77.
    >"Whatever it is ponies are meant to wallow in after being turned down yet again."
  78. 78.
    >That's a bit of a surprise
  79. 79.
    >You didn't take him as being in the dating scene
  80. 80.
    >Why do you feel disappointed at that?
  81. 81.
    "That's surprising. I've only known you for a few weeks, but I can't see any reason for a mare to turn you down. I mean, you're attractive, successful, generous to the point that the very concept-"
  82. 82.
    >You cut yourself off as you notice that he has an eyebrow raised and a little smirk
  83. 83.
    "What? What's that look for?"
  84. 84.
    >"Anon, it was a stallion. I like stallions."
  85. 85.
    >Some part of your brain sets off a fireworks display and begins dancing
  86. 86.
    >"And some stallions can be right jerks when you wrongly assume they're interested in you," he finishes with a sniffle and tugs the blanket tighter around his torso
  87. 87.
    >The mental celebration comes to a screeching halt
  88. 88.
    >Okay, no burglars, but some stallion hurt this pony for daring to be interested in him
  89. 89.
    >rage.exe re-enabled
  90. 90.
    "Hey, who did it, where can I find them, and what are Equestria's punishments for aggravated assault?"
  91. 91.
    >You don’t exactly relish the idea of violence against ponies, but you can't think of anything else with the anger burning
  92. 92.
    >Another little giggle
  93. 93.
    >Sweet Celestia, he's cute when he does that
  94. 94.
    >Your rage peters out in the face of it
  95. 95.
    >"Don't go getting yourself in trouble on my behalf now, Anon. I'll be fine. It just stung my pride. I'm sorry, I'm not really in a state where I can help with your outfit."
  96. 96.
    >Now the wheels are turning
  97. 97.
    >You're pulling up memories and piecing together a plan
  98. 98.
    >"Darling, you better not be plotting something ridiculous."
  99. 99.
    >Guess it was pretty obvious the cogs were turning
  100. 100.
    >You turn toward him and put a hand on each of his shoulders
  101. 101.
    >He gives a little jolt of surprise
  102. 102.
    >You can't help but admire how soft and sleek his coat is
  103. 103.
    "Okay, there's a train that arrives in a bit over three-quarters of an hour. Can you be ready by then?"
  104. 104.
    >A look of confusion crosses his face as he searches your eyes
  105. 105.
    >"W-whatever for?"
  106. 106.
    >You put on your best winning smile
  107. 107.
    "There's a restaurant in Manehattan I heard was good, and I believe you mentioned an event at Saddle Row this week. If some bastard is going to be a dick about you showing interest in him, and I can't kick his butt, then I can at least take you out for a good time."
  108. 108.
    >As you speak, the confusion on the stallion's face melts into understanding
  109. 109.
    >Then your conclusion causes a blush to spring up on his cheeks
  110. 110.
    >"Anonymous, are you asking me out? You don't even know my name."
  111. 111.
    >That catches you off guard
  112. 112.
    >Are you asking him out?
  113. 113.
    >Yeah, you guess you are
  114. 114.
    "Yeah, I guess I am. Besides, not knowing your name is your own fault, Mister."
  115. 115.
    >You draw your hands back and fold them on your lap as he chews your offer over
  116. 116.
    >A smile slowly spreads across his muzzle, and he gives a nod
  117. 117.
    >"I would be honored to go out with you, darling. I will be there," he says, primly
  118. 118.
    >He shrugs off the blanket and stretches as he steps off the couch
  119. 119.
    >You do your absolute best to keep your gaze respectful
  120. 120.
    >Okay, mostly respectful
  121. 121.
    >That sure is one beautiful Cutie Mark
  122. 122.
    >You are definitely just looking at the Cutie Mark
  123. 123.
    >If he notices your wandering eyes, he doesn't let on
  124. 124.
    >The fashion horse gives himself a shake and turns to look at you
  125. 125.
    >His eyes are still red and puffy, but any trace of sadness is gone
  126. 126.
    >"Oh, you do still have those clothes you showed up in, right? They're nicer than what Dusk cobbled together there."
  127. 127.
    >You have to agree
  128. 128.
    >The wardrobe the purple pony conjured fits your body in the strictest sense, but they are far from elegant
  129. 129.
    >Artist he is not
  130. 130.
    "I suppose I can ask him for them back. I can't imagine there's much more he can research on them."
  131. 131.
    >You stand up, dusting the absolutely nothing off your knees as you do
  132. 132.
    >"Tell him I insist you have them back," he says as he trots toward the adjoining bathroom
  133. 133.
    >He's walking with that sway again
  134. 134.
    >You feel your pulse quicken a little
  135. 135.
    "Tell him who insists?"
  136. 136.
    >You've won
  137. 137.
    >You must have his name now
  138. 138.
    >He throws his head back, looking at you with a devious grin
  139. 139.
    >"Just call me Fashion Horse, like you usually do"
  140. 140.
    >You lost
  141. 141.
    >You didn't even see it coming
  142. 142.
    >Now it's your turn to blush
  143. 143.
    >"Oh, don't you worry, Darling. I'll tell you on the train."
  144. 144.
    >Now a rush of anticipation
  145. 145.
    >He disappears around the corner with a swish of his tail
  146. 146.
    >"Oh, Anon, could you be an absolute dear and put that ice cream back in the freezer on your way out?"
  147. 147.
    >You nod, then remember he can't see that
  148. 148.
    "Yeah, sure thing."
  149. 149.
    >You scoop up the nearly empty carton and scan the floor for the lid
  150. 150.
    >You find it under the couch as you hear water start to run in the other room
  151. 151.
    >You pop the lid on as you leave the room with a growing ball of excitement and a touch of anxiety in your gut
  152. 152.
    >You can hardly believe you actually did that or that he agreed
