Deciding on a costume (Edited by Echo Breeze) (Updated 1/18/2023)
It was mid-October at CHS, and Halloween was fast approaching. The school was having a party on the night of Halloween, and many students throughout CHS had their costumes decided on and had gotten them mostly completed by now.
Some had decided to either wear an old costume they wore in the past or just completely make or buy a new one as for many students it was gonna be their final year at CHS before graduating the coming year.
But not everyone had decided on their costumes for the party. The Main Seven, commonly known as the Rainbooms, had yet to decide on a costume to dress up as.
So after much thinking, they decided to discuss it after school and think of an idea for what they should dress up as.
After their last class of the day ended, the group of friends met up in their usual hangout spot in the music room of CHS. Once they all were there they began to think of ideas on what they should dress up as for the Halloween party.
Many of them had already thought of something and hoped that their pick would be chosen so they’d know what to dress up for the party.
“I was thinking we all should be princesses. So we can all show CHS how lovely we are,” said Rarity.
“As great as that would be Rarity, I think I’m gonna have to pass on this one,” replied Applejack before the rest of the girls agreed with her they’d pass on Rarity’s option.
Applejack was right, they didn’t wear dresses often. Plus most of the girls do recall in the past that Rainbow Dash has shared with them that she doesn’t always prefer wearing them. Even if she is a girl or not. In fact, during that year's Formal the previous year, she ended up coming in a tuxedo compared to the rest of her friends in dresses. So now they were back to the drawing board.
“Oh, rats. Does anyone else have a better idea?” Asked Rarity.
“We could dress up as the Daring Do Characters we played from the movie we had a part in!” Suggested Rainbow Dash.
“Rainbow Dash, how many times do I have to remind you? Those costumes we wore, we weren’t allowed to keep after the filming was completed! I recall you asked them if we could, but we couldn’t, they belonged to the people who signed the lease to be used for the movie. Plus. I don’t think Rarity wants to be doing all the work for our costumes like she’s done in the past,” replied Twilight.
“She has a point, Rainbow,” replied Sunset.
“Indeed you’re right Sunset. I already have a lot on my plate with other costumes to make for other students who have asked me to make them.”
“Ok then, what about you Sunset? What do you think we should dress up as?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“I was thinking it should be video game themed. We all dress up as video game characters.”
This got them all interested in Sunset’s idea.
“Speaking of the theme, what will it be?” Asked Pinkie Pie.
“I’m glad you asked Pinkie. I was thinking that we should all pick from a hat on who gets to be who. Each little tab of paper will have the name of a video game character. Whoever the character is written on it, it’ll be the video game character you are. But there’s a catch.”
“A catch?” Said Fluttershy.
“We aren’t allowed to share who our character is until the night of the party. So until then, we all have to keep it a secret. Is everyone ok with that?”
The rest of the group of friends didn’t seem to be too concerned about it but soon picked a tab of paper from the hat and took a look at the name of the video game character they’d dressed up. They then left the music room to go home for the day and to get started on their costumes.
But what Sunset didn’t realize was that she accidentally wrote the same name on all of the tabs of paper. And they’d be in for a surprise when it comes to biting them back in the neck when Halloween arrives.
It was Halloween. Many children were going from house to house trick or treating, while students of CHS were arriving for the Halloween party.
Rarity was happy with the choice she got for her costume. Boswette is the female version of Bowser from the Super Mario franchise.
Her costume consisted of a crow, a horn headband, a turtle shell, lots of spikes all over, and a long black dress with a blue pearl in the middle.
“Oh, I so can’t wait to see what the others have dressed up as. I hope they’re all-”
But just before Rarity could continue, she noticed something about the rest of her friends that surprised her with their costumes.
Right in front of her were all her friends, in the same costume that she was wearing! Aside from Spike who was dressed up as Mario.
Rarity was just at a loss for words for what she saw before her. She was so angry she felt like screaming until Sunset decided to explain how this happened.
“So uh, sorry I forgot to mention this but I kinda wrote down the same names on all the tabs for your costumes by accident. I guess when I wrote them, I wasn’t fully paying attention. So it seems like we all ended up dressing up as Boswette. Sorry girls.”
While Sunset was disappointed with her idea going down the drain her friends didn’t blame her. It was just an accident and they honestly thought it would make their senior year Halloween a year to remember as they were not gonna let their last Halloween at CHS be a bad one.
And so they all went inside to attend to all the activities going on and ended up having a good time in the end.
Rarity eventually got over it, since what mattered is that she got to spend Halloween together with her six best friends. What truly mattered what their friendship, no matter how bad your mistakes and decisions often turn out to be, like what happened to Sunset Shimmer the previous year.

This bit is unnecessary unless you are going to expand on it, show what happened, etc.
Reading this conversation, instead of a basic recap of it, could have given this story a extra layer of dimension it didn't have.
We could have also used a examination of Rarity's thoughts, coming to her conclusion about the importance of friendship.
It's a cute story, but it could stand to be fleshed out more, especially the ending.

I did it at the last minute but thx for at least giving the story a try, it's the thought that counts.
11016634
Did feel kind of rushed. And I liked the story, but figured I should make clear the issues I had with it. Thanks for responding!
11016648
its the least I can do for anyone who reads this story of mine.
How in the hell can someone WRITE down the same word seven times and not notice it? That's impossible.
And since Bowsette is technically a princess. Its funny how the girls shot down Rarity's idea about dressing up as Princesses only to come to the party dress as a princess, dress and all. Makes you wonder why Sunset even chose a princess in the first place after everyone disagreed with Raity's idea.
I feel like she planned for this to happen just to help Rarity out while also throwing in her own idea in the mix.
11016778
she didn't.
11016779
Still doesn't change the fact that even if they each believe they were the only one dressing up like a princess. The ones who made such a huge fuss about it still came dressed like a princess.
Rarity sure had every right to be mad. Mistake or not.
11016785
Well, sometimes its best to be happy with what we have. We can't allow get what we want.
11016789
Except Rairty did get what she wanted. All of them dressing up as a princess.
11016796
And that's what counts in the end, and besides I was trying to base this story off of the comic I mentioned.
11016799
And you succeeded!
Because like Rarity said they are a bunch of dumb skanks.
11016813
thx
I'll be honest a little rushed but hey I get it with college and all. I enjoyed it now that I finally got to read it.
Right in front of her were all her friends in the exact same costume that she was wearing. Aside from Spike who was dressed up as Mario.
Rarity was just lost for words for what she saw before her. She was so angry she felt like screaming until Sunset decided to explain to Rarity how this happened in the first place.
“So uh, sorry I forgot to mention this but I kinda wrote down the same names on all the tabs of paper for your costume by accident. I guess when I wrote them, I wasn’t fully paying attention, so it seems like we all ended up dressing up as Boswette. Sorry girls.”
After reading the comic I saw that one coming a a mile away. As always you have done well. Have a stache

Thx my friend, it means a lot.
Here's a question Sunset. If you wrote down "Bowsette" for Rarity's costume. How on earth could she had picked that one specific label out of six others at random?
11026587
like I said, she did it by accident.
11026597
I meant if she didn't make the mistake and wrote seven different names. She said she wrote down Bowsette for Rarity but expected her to pick it out of hat mix in with 6 other labels.
11026634
look, i was trying to make this story as close to the comic it was based off of.
rainbow dash had to wear a dress anyway
11027054
Ik, but it still wasn't all bad in the end.
Btw, sorry for taking so long to answer your comment.
