I almost punched the lady that woke me the next morning. I'm not even kidding. I had forgotten that I was in Fluttershy, and that I was a fairy still, so I literally almost broke her nose.

"I've got her, go do your chores." Nathan had said, coming into the room quickly and pulling me back into the bed. The fairy nodded and flew out of the room. Nathan grabbed my wrists and pulled them down. "Settle."

"Sorry, I.....I-" I mumbled. Nathan cut me off by pulling me out of the bed.

"I'm helping you dress today." He said.

"Excuse me?" I asked.

"Look, I completely forgot, but Quinn's Aunt, Uncle and Cousins are coming today to discuss Quinn's coronation in a few weeks. This is huge." Nathan said, going into the closet.

"I can't be Quinn then! If this is so important, how am I supposed to act like Quinn when I barely know her?" I whisper-screamed at him, walking over to the closet. I was starting to go into the closet when Nathan pushed open the door and closed it behind him, dragging a dress in his arms.

"That's why I'm going to help you, starting with the clothes." Nathan set the dress on the bed and turned around to go back into the closet. "Get that on and I'll help you tighten it."

"You can't possibly be serious!" I said. "I can't be Quinn!"

Nathan stopped and turned around to look at me.

"Who else is going to be?" He yelled. "Quinn's gone, and you are the only one with her face in Fluttershy. How is anyone else going to be Quinn?"

I didn't respond.

"That's what I thought. Now get that dress on." Nathan said. He disappeared in the closet. "You're not the only one who is skeptical about this."

I bit my lip with nervousness.

"You better not be biting your lip right now." Nathan reminded me of the dangers of my teeth. Instead, I dug my fingernails into my palm. With a shaking hand, I grabbed the nightgown around me and pulled it off, replacing it with the dress. 

It was a blue slip dress with tattered edges and sagging side sleeves. The chest had an intricate lace design with a small bow at the top, which went halfway down my chest. The bow kept together the entire chest piece. At the bottom, it went all the way to the floor, so you couldn't see my feet. It felt too big in some places, but in others if felt too small.

"This is the most uncomfortable dress I've ever worn." I said. Nathan came out of the closet.

"That's because it's not put on all the way." He said. Nathan dumped everything onto the bed and took my shoulders, turning me away from him. I felt him grab two different ropes and lay them down my back. Then, he started at the bottom, pulling the ropes as tight as he could. I stumbled to stay standing up when he pulled, and the more he pulled, the less loose the dress was.

"Nathan, that hurts." I said. He didn't stop. "Nathan, I can't breath, stop." 

"It's supposed to be like this. Stop moving, or it'll hurt more."

When he got to the top, I felt like I was wrapped in rope from my waist to my shoulder blades, which, were still sore from getting ripped open to make room for wings.

"Finally, that's over." I said. Nathan chuckled and reached over to the bed to grab something else.

"Oh, no, Zoe. We're just getting started." He laughed, holding up a metal corset.

I started to creep away, but he came closer.

"Nathan," I giggled, waiting for him to make his attack. "Don't! Stop!"
