Things Are Not Always What They Seam
[At their clubhouse…]
“I can’t believe it’s been truly one year since I bought this,” said Sweetheart.
“Yeah mine don’t fit as well as they did then,” said Melody.
“One year was all it took for mine to start bursting at the seams,” said Starlight.
“Not that it makes much of a difference though because even though they were new, they didn’t fit me well,” said Bright Eyes. I still struggled to get them on because of all the weight I gained after buying them.
“I think the fact that they’re a year old has something to do with them not fitting as well,” said Starlight. If the seams are coming apart, they won’t hold after a while and then we’ll have to get new ones.
“Well that wouldn’t work too well for any of us,” said Melody. Sure our bellies would still be visible, sort of, but we like to have them exposed which is generally why we don’t get the next size up, which we would’ve gotten at the first sight of our bellies peeking out.
“We may need a new type of clothing to get, the kind that stretches,” said Starlight.
“That’d be good,” said Bon Bon. It would take many years for them to rip.
“Exactly,” replied Bright Eyes.
“Luckily all of mine still fit, as close to fitting as they can,” said Starlight.
“The only shirt I have that doesn’t fit all that well is my Cleveland Bays one,” said Melody. Even so, I can still get it on and off without a problem so I hope I can wear it a little longer. It is showing some tear at the sleeves though. [Meanwhile…]
“Too bad this shirt is slowly coming apart,” said Sunny-Daze.
“Why’s that Sunny-Daze?” asked Pinkie Pie.
“It’s one of my favorites,” said Sunny-Daze. I had it custom made a few years ago.
“I suppose that’s when you gain weight, dahling,” said Rainbow Dash. Since I’m all about rainbows, my shirt is unfortunately tearing at one of the rainbows on the shirt.
“Just shows how much stress our clothing goes through,” said Bright Eyes.
“You know, I think I know why we like these shirts so much,” said Melody. We’ve had them since we were little but refused to give them away just because we were growing out of them. They just stretched as far as they could and until now, they held together.
“I could truly try sewing the clothing back together,” suggested Sweetheart.
“Thanks, Sweetheart, but that’d only be a temporary fix,” said Bright Eyes. Before we knew it, it’d happen again. We need something we can wear that won’t tear and instead just expand so that we can wear the clothes as long as possible.
“Wait a minute, don’t our swimsuits have that kind of material?” asked Starlight.
“Nope,” said the rest of them simultaneously.
“I think even if they had, we couldn’t wear them every day, we wouldn’t smell good,” said Bright Eyes.
“So what are we going to do?” asked Starlight.
“We’ll have to keep wearing what we have for now, until we can come up with a solution,” said Melody.
“We could use the internet to find clothing,” said Bright Eyes.
“Splendid idea, dahling,” said Rainbow Dash. We should all go back home to the internet to see what we can find. *the ponies race home* [The next day…]
“Find anything?” asked Starlight.
“I did, but they were all sold out and wouldn’t restock right away,” said Starlight.
“I didn’t even have an internet connection,” said Clover. My mom says we can’t afford to pay for it for a while.
“We can’t give up just yet,” said Bright Eyes. There must be something out there that’ll fit our needs,” said Bright Eyes.
“This is truly harder than any of us thought,” thought Sweetheart. We could see if any of the stores have some.
“I went there yesterday, just to see if they had anything but came up empty,” said Starlight.
“One day we’ll find a solution to this problem,” thought Bon Bon. We’ll find something….somewhere.
