The emperor's clothes trick!

[elementofpeanutbutter]

[Trixie casually strolls out of her room with her PawnChessmon hot on her heels looking flustered. This is because she's only wearing her hat and her cape. She informs him to turn on the communicator and he fumbles with it as she passes through the living room heading for the door.

The first image to appear on the network is of her bubbly blue butt complete with matching moon and stars markings on the sides like a tattoo. The camera pans up and she turns to face the camera with a flourish of her cape and flashing her modest sized bare chest in the process]

Greetings adoring fans! It is I, the Great and Powerful Trixie!

And Trixie is curious. With the city all smashed up are there ANY businesses open? Preferably where Tricie can procure more of those lovely peanut butter crackers they had in the vending machine near the main Terminal?

[not even mentioning the nudity... Because why would she?]

Hehehe, if they were -which they weren't 'cause you only showed it when you left- they might've said stuff like 'nice flank, oh Great & Powerful Trixie!' and you might've gotten paid better!

...That's not what I meant. I mean haven't you been here long enough to see no one goes around like that?

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Is that so? Yourself included?

[come to think of it, Trixie can't recall Dash donating any bits after her show. Probably because Dash had been part of it]

Of course Trixie noticed. She's not blind!

I simply presumed it was the current trend .

[adashofloyalty]

...Maybe.

(Her bubbly butt looked cute, but Rainbow's not about to admit it! That might get her ego going, and the cyan-haired Pegasus did that enough already.)

Pfft, not a trend; more like a way of life! That's not all you have for clothes, is it?

(Rainbow might have to talk with Rarity sometime soon if that was the case.)

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Trixie arrived with the outfit she was wearing in her first broadcast as well as her hat and cape.

Why? How many outfits did Rainbow Dash arrive with?

[adashofloyalty]

Eh, just the one I wore in my first broadcast; gonna talk with Rarity about getting some more. Maybe I can see if she'd fit you in too.

[elementofpeanutbutter]

That would solve the reason Trixie left her other clothes to wash. She can hardly be expected to wear the same thing every day. How have you managed? Washing ever day is too much of a chore. And there really is no need for how much they always wear.

[adashofloyalty]

Met up with the girls and got some extra clothes, couldn't hurt to have more in case; don't really need any for nighttime.

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Oh yes, Fluttershy's been here for some time, Trixie forgot.

[sigh]

It 'a not enough they choose to walk awkwardly but they hide their bodies like it's shameful. Humans are baffling.

[adashofloyalty]

Hehe, I know! But it's the way things are and as long as we're not ponies I don't think we can walk around like we usually do.

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Other then the lack of fur and hooves making it uncomfortable Trixie doesn't see why.

Just because something is popular doesn't make it right.

[adashofloyalty]

So what you're saying is...we should expect to see your flank, cutie mark and everything else lots of times besides right now?

(If she's not run out of the city, Rainbow will be surprised.)

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Not if everyone is going to keep acting so weird about it.

How does it not bother you? Trixie does not recall ever seeing you wear clothing during her visits to Ponyville.

[adashofloyalty]

(Rainbow grinned lightly.)

Had the worst time ever, but I wore clothes at the Grand Galloping Gala! And at Twilight's coronation.

[elementofpeanutbutter]

That's just it. Clothes are for fun, to dress up and look pretty or to play around. A lack of clothes shouldn't be seen as offensive and upsetting.

[adashofloyalty]

Hehe, not everyone here sees it that way.

(Actually, she's pretty sure no one sees it like that but Trixie.)

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Stupid new body. Stupid new culture and traditions.

Trixie never thought she'd long to be back on that awful little rock farm...but anything's better then this.

[She's starting to feel overwhelmed again by how out of her element she is]

[adashofloyalty]

Hey now...you'll get the hang of it! So you have to put on more than just your hat and cape; no big deal! Just think of it as a way to show off your awesomeness even more.

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Trixie is beginning to question just how much awesomeness this world is capable of despite Rainbow Dash's insistence.

[adashofloyalty]

Hehehe~

(Has Trixie even seen beyond the walls of her apartment? Rainbow's curious about that much at least.)

[elementofpeanutbutter]

[Of course, but the city is kind of in ruins after last months attack so there's not much to see in Trixie's opinion. And it's not like she's going to participate in manual labor]

[adashofloyalty]

Aaaaaaanyway, if you need an extra set of clothes until Rarity gets you some I guess I could let you borrow some.

(She does expect them back.)

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Hmpf.

Well Trixie supposes it would get everyone to stop yelling at her about it. So tiresome.

But are we the same size?

[adashofloyalty]

(She thinks about it a moment before shrugging.)

Never had to compare sizes with other ponies before, especially not when it comes to our flanks.

[elementofpeanutbutter]

Well it's not as much a problem when ponies are allowed to walk around wearing as little as they like without being yelled at by blushing prudish oppressors.

[adashofloyalty]

Of course not, but...this isn't Equestria!

(Be patient, Rainbow...she'll learn sooner or later.)
