If the Shirt Shrinks
[In Melody’s room…]
“Let’s see what should I wear today?” pondered Melody. Maybe this one? *she holds up the shirt* Wow, I haven’t seen this shirt in a long time. I don’t think it’d fit me now, whether fat or skinny. *she holds it up to her chest* Nope, not going to fit me but then again neither do most of my other outfits. How about this one? *she holds it up to her chest* This one looks like it might fit better than my first one but still not going to be enough to cover my belly. This one should be okay for today. *she puts it on and the shirt rides back up* Uh-oh, maybe not. It’ll be too much of a pain to keep the shirt down. *she takes it off* Well here’s one that should still fit. *she tries it on* Good enough I think. I wonder if my friends have also found outfits that don’t fit them. *she heads off to the Ice Cream Shop* [At the Ice Cream Shop…]
“Well I found a few shirts with Teddy on them that don’t fit me anymore,” replied Sweetheart. I still try to wear them, even if they’re truly too small and make my belly stick out.
“A lot of my shirts are my favorites,” said Bright Eyes. They may be too small but I too continue wearing them. I have one on today.
“My mom got rid of most of mine,” sighed Clover. She said mine were too small. The only one she didn’t get is the one I’m wearing now.
“Wow, that’s too bad, Clover,” said Starlight.
“It was like most of my childhood out the window,” said Clover sadly.
“Oh dahling, all of our shirts should be small with the weight we put on in the last year,” said Rainbow Dash. It’s not like we got the next size up for our outfits, we kept them as is, which is just fabulous.
“All of my shirts are pretty small too,” said Pinkie Pie. They’re all pink though so it doesn’t really bother me that they’re small because I’m a pink pony. Though I still like my shirts because they have my friends on them.
“How thoughtful, dahling,” said Rainbow Dash.
“I’m sure you’d hate to lose those,” said Bright Eyes.
“Maybe a little bit but I get to see you guys pretty much every day so it’s not a big deal,” replied Pinkie Pie.
“The only shirt I have that actually fits is the Cookie Factory shirt I got at the Cookie Factory’s gift shop when I left,” said Bon Bon. It reminds me of the time I went there so if I had to give this one away, I’d make every effort not to do it.
“All of my shirts are green, just different shades,” giggled Minty. Losing them would be pretty bad for me but luckily they don’t fit too badly.
“My shirts are extra special,” said Star Catcher. Since I have wings, they have to be custom made so they fit as comfortable as possible. My other friends haven’t told me their stories about this, if they have any, but I’m sure they also have custom shirts to fit their wings and wouldn’t like to see those shirts go either.
“I love my shirts,” exclaimed Skywishes. They have all sorts of kites, and one has my catchphrase on it. We’ll all probably at some point lose our shirts with our weight gain and outfits getting tighter and oh you know what I mean.
“We do,” said everyone else together.
“I think the one I wear most is the one with my catchphrase on it,” said Skywishes. It reminds me of what I do best: making wishes!
“Plus I think all of our shirts have great memories from last year,” said Pinkie Pie.
“I agree,” said Star Catcher. We’ve worn them probably many times and losing them would be like losing all the good times we’ve had wearing them.
“I can tell we’ll all have good times as we continue wearing them,” said Melody.
“Melody’s right,” agreed Bright Eyes. Our shirts may be small but we’re not willing to give up our shirts that quickly. You’ll continue wearing that one, right, Clover?
“It won’t be easy but I’ll try,” replied Clover.
“Best of all, these shirts do what we want to do over all: show our fatness,” said Starlight. Sure they’re a little snug at the moment but that proves they’re doing their job.
“If we had large shirts there would be little chance of truly accomplishing that,” said Sweetheart.
“Doesn’t matter if we’re the only ones that are okay with it, as long as we’re okay with it together,” said Bright Eyes.
