“Finally!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed as Rarity waddled towards her. Judging from the way her swimsuit looked tighter than usual, as well as a look of satisfaction on her face, the quarter-ton fashionista must have been enjoying the local cuisines. “Were you at that seafood buffet the whole time?”

“Not the whole time! I also stopped at that sushi truck.” She said while rubbing her full belly. “It was quite good, but I just wish the wasabi wasn’t sold out.”

“Well, since I had to sit around and wait for someone else to watch our stuff, I missed out on some totally awesome waves!” Rainbow removed her sandals, and got her surfboard ready to go. “Gonna stick around?”

“I’m going to get a little shopping done later,” Rarity settled herself down to search through her bag. “But for now, you can go ahead and play in the water. I just want to lay out like a beached whale and soak up the sun.”

Filling up on all those deliciously, endless meals has put her in a very positive mood. It seemed like nothing can ruin her day. Except for one thing…

“Wait, Rainbow Dash? Have you seen my towel? The large white one.”

“Uh, yeah… You’re holding it in your hand.”

Rarity’s brow furrowed at her friend’s perceived ignorance. With frustration, she raised up the towel in question. “First of all, this is obviously eggshell, not white. And secondly, if this your definition of large, then you really ought to see how big my wardrobe’s gotten.”

“Okay. Point taken. So, it’s an EXTRA-large, white towel. What else?”

“Let’s see… It’s made from Southeastern cotton. It’s durable, so it accommodates to my weight. Ooh, and it should have my initial sewn into it.”

“Wait…” Rainbow’s eyes widened with realization. “That was yours?”

“You’ve seen it?”

“Well, yeah. But we tied it over the back of Applejack’s pick-up for the dirt roads.”

“Wait, you used it as a TARP?!?!” Rarity huffed angrily.

“Uh… hey, look at the that!” Rainbow grinned nervously. “Gotta go catch that wave! See ya!” Quick on her feet, she was able to slip away, leaving her extra-large friend behind to shout obscenities at her.
