It had taken a good deal longer than Aqua had wanted to, especially given some of the other things that had been happening on the ship of late, but after a fair amount of concentrated searching she'd found what she'd been looking for. Her armor, all correct and accounted for. Of course she was fairly certain that it wasn't going to simply be a matter of calling it up when she wanted, after this, but that didn't stop her from putting it on all the same. It was just a little strange to not have it forming around her of its own volition, that was all.

After a moment of time to make sure that everything was settled properly - and after deciding that the helmet was going to be largely impractical - she turned back to the pile. If her armor was there then surely Terra's would also be there?

"Not much to tell?" Somehow, the very idea went against Rarity's sensibilities. They'd just gotten together! In a relationship! Romantically! How could there not be much to tell?

Still, she did quiet down and let Aqua speak, and she was rather glad she had. "Dinner?" she gasped excitedly. "Oh, you're going on a date! That's wonderful! Ooh!" She bounced up and down, enthused at the very prospect. "I'll make you something to wear! You do need something special for an occasion like this, you know." With that, she was back to digging in the piles and racks of clothing, piling several more dresses on the burgundy one she'd already suggested Aqua wear. "Tell me, has he seen you in your little black dress? Because you will need something new if he has. You simply can't attend two very special occasions wearing the same gown, especially not two occasions so close together." She turned back to her pile, now containing at least half a dozen dresses and numerous other odds and ends. "There. I think that's a good start, don't you?"

Her digging had unearthed the corner of something bronze and gold; in her enthusiasm, she'd hardly noticed.

Aqua hadn't known, to be perfectly honest, but she was perfectly content to let Rarity make something else for the occasion. Especially considering how well the first dress had been received.

"He has," she answered with a nod. "I was wearing it when he came to tell me he wanted to go out with me." Really, she couldn't have planned it any better if she'd known he'd been intended to come talk to her. Left to her own devices, she might've worn the same dress again, mostly on account of the fact that it wasthe nicest thing she owned. Since Rarity seemed to have things quite well in hoof, Aqua simply nodded at the question. It looked like a quite a good start to her.

It was only by coincidence that her nod caused her eye to lend on the small glimpse of gold and bronze peeking out the pile and with a slight gasp she bent to dig it out.

Just as planned. "Oh, well, that certainly worked out nicely, don't you think? You will have to save it for another special occasion, of course - perhaps an anniversary."

That reaction wasn't something to be missed. Rarity looked in the direction Aqua had gone - oh, that bit of bronze most likely had something to do with it. She helped Aqua dig, quickly uncovering a helmet and a gauntlet. Well, it wasn't anything to her taste - more something Rainbow Dash would appreciate, really - but Aqua did seem excited about it. "This is Terra's armor, then?"

An anniversary? Aqua hadn't really thought so far ahead as to really be thinking about anniversaries, although she nodded at Rarity's comment even if she wasn't sure how she stood on the matter.

"It is," she answered. "I knew it had to be here somewhere." Admittedly, thus far they only had a few of the pieces, but where there were a few, there were bound to be more. The only problem was the sheer number of things in the pile, but she was willing to spend as much time as she needed to to dig things up.

Rarity nearly always thought ahead, especially with this sort of thing. It seemed as though Aqua wasn't quite prepared to talk about it, though, and so Rarity let it be for now.

"Well. The color should make it easier to spot in the piles of clothes, I think." She'd seen plenty of gold accents on the various gowns in here, but gold thread had a very different hue than gold armor and none of its shine. "Shall we get back to it, then?" Without waiting for an answer, she dug back into the pile, keeping an eye out for any more bits of armor.

Very different indeed, and Aqua nodded at Rarity's question before turning back to the pile. Even with the decorations on what little she'd seen on the clothes, metal was a far cry from cloth - and she had the advantage of knowing exactly what she was looking for.

Within a matter of minutes, she'd managed to pull the matching gauntlet and one of the greaves out of the pile. It was progress if not the fastest, but then again, she hadn't really been expecting fast in the first place.
