On their way to the castle, they saw Fluttershy going in. Her cutiemark was vibrating.  
“FLUTTERSHY!”, shouted Brainstorm.  
Fluttershy jumped.  
“I need your help!”  
Brainstorm was going to explain to her what had happened when Spike opened the door. Spike was kind enough to let both in. Brainstorm asked about his little dilemma, however Spike explained how the cutie map worked, and that Twilight was giving Starlight a private lesson. Just then, Rarity, who had helped him before, came in with an envelope.  
“What’s that?”, asked Spike.  
“I’ve just been invited to Reptilious Coldblood’s Gala.”, said Rarity.  
“Just think about it, all the richest, and finest in Equestria, and I was invited!”, she continued, feeling happy that somepony thinks of her as a VIP.  
“But alas, I cannot go, because duty calls.”, and pointed to her cutiemark, which was also vibrating.  
The cutiemarks on the map revealed their location, but Brainstorm was too busy thinking about his mouse to pay attention. Rarity just then noticed Brainstorm in was in the castle.  
“What are you doing here?”, she asked.  
Brainstorm explained what had happened. Brainstorm then told Rarity about giving him her invitation; however it would be THAT simple. Rarity, as a pony who dabbles in high society, explains that when Reptilious sends out invites, they’re always separated between male and female variants. Rarity’s invitation was for female guest only. Brainstorm wouldn’t be able to get in with it.  
Brainstorm asked why. She says it’s so that not just anypony would get in. This just gave Rarity an idea. She quickly enveloped Brainstorm her blue aura and quickly left the castle. Fluttershy asked about the mission.  
“Don’t worry darling! This won’t take long!”, shouted Rarity, and headed towards her boutique.  
At Carousel Boutique, Rarity explained her plan.  
“You want me to be Tickles again?”, asked Brainstorm.  
“Reptilious only likes the finest ponies to appear at his events.”, said Rarity.  
“And if somepony as secretive as Tickles were to show up, I’m sure they would let her in with no questions.”  
“Besides, don’t you want to help your mouse friend?”, she asked.  
“Okay, for Miss Mousey.”, agreed Brainstorm, and rubbed nosed with his mouse.  
“Good.”, said Rarity, and levitated a dress.  
Using her magic, she spun him around, covering him in feminine clothing, makeup, and other stuff. When he was done, Rarity held a mirror to him. Brainstorm stared at how beautiful he looked.  
“This might work.”, he said, looking at the beautiful mare in the mirror.  
“I know it will darling.”, said Rarity.  
“Now give me a smile.”  
Brainstorm smiled. Rarity found it to be adorable.  
“Perfect! You are ready. Now, I must meet Fluttershy at the Train station. Good luck!”, she said, and went off to find Fluttershy.
