Anyway, this (in my mind) would be her dress she’d wear if she ever got an invite to a party. It took a long time to get this design right, or at least to a point at which I could say, “Yep, that’s a dress Cheerilee would wear.” Obviously it’s based heavily on her colors and her cutie mark.
It’s OK, Cheerilee. For now you’ll just have to go back to a world of making lesson plans, grading homework, bratty students, snobby parents, and intrusive crusaders. And not having a special somepony. Just keep up that brave and cheery facade and things will turn around for you eventually.”
