My Little Pony: New to Equestria [Applejack x OC]

Chapter 1-12: Suited For Success

A/N: I'm skipping Call of the Cutie since it's a CMC episode.

Since it's getting closer to the Gala, I decide to go to Rarity's to ask her to help me pick out a dress for the occasion, finding Twilight already there. We both wait in silence, watching Rarity use her sewing machine.

Applejack knocks on the boutique's door, exclaiming, "Howdy, Rarity!"

Twilight and I shush her, and Twilight whispers, "Can't you see Rarity is trying to concentrate?"

Applejack whispers, "What do ya think she's makin'?"

I peek around Rarity, responding, "Looks like a dress."

Applejack whispers, "Well, that makes sense, since this is a dressmaker's shop and all."

Rarity turns her head toward us, asking passive-aggressively, "Is there something I can help you with?"

Twilight, being the first to enter the boutique, goes first, saying as she reveals a frumpy, worn dress, "Oh, so very sorry to trouble you, Rarity, but I need a quick favor. Could you please fix the button for me? It's my dress for the Grand Galloping Gala."

Rarity gasps at the sight of the dress, exclaiming, "Oh, no, no, no! You can't wear this... old thing. You need a glamorous new outfit for the Gala, and I'll make it for you. No problem at all. It would be my pleasure!"

Twilight says, "Oh, that's really sweet of you to offer, Rarity, but I can't let you do that. It would be so much work. This dress is fine."

Rarity says, "Twilight Sparkle, I insist on making you a new dress."

Twilight protests, "But..."

Rarity says, "Not another word! I won't take no for an answer."

Twilight says, "Well, in that case... thank you for your generosity, Rarity. Knowing your handiwork, I'm sure it will be absolutely beautiful."

Rarity turns to me, asking, "And what about you, Miss Melody?"

I say, "Me? Oh, I don't need you to make me a dress, I was just hoping you could help me pick out a good one that you already have."

Rarity says, "Oh, nonsense. If you're looking for a dress anyways, we might as well make it fabulous, darling!"

I sigh, knowing I can't change her mind, saying, "Alright. I trust you'll make a good dress for me."

Rarity turns to AJ, saying, "Let me guess, Applejack. You don't want a new gown either."

Applejack raises an eyebrow, asking, "Gown? Shoot. I was just gonna wear my old work duds."

Rarity exclaims, "You can't possibly be serious, Applejack! You absolutely must wear formal attire."

Applejack thinks about it for a second, then says, "Hm... nah."

Rarity compromises, asking, "What if I just spruce up your... duds... for you a little bit?"

Applejack responds, "Um... Okay, sure, why not? Since you're up for it and all. Just don't make them too... frou-frou-y."

Rarity smiles, saying, "Deal!"

Suddenly, Rainbow yells out, "Look out below!" She crashes into the boutique, saying, "Sorry. New trick. Didn't quite work."

I mutter, "No kidding."

Rarity exclaims, "Idea! I'll make you an outfit for the Gala, too, Rainbow Dash!"

Rainbow asks, "Outfit for the what now?"

I sigh, saying, "You know, the one where you tried stealing tickets from Applejack so you could show your tricks to the Wonderbolts?"
