Azure was picking a new Dress for today. It was Easter, a holiday that All of Equestria celebrated when Winter was cleaned up, making the way for Spring, celebrating birth and rebirth of life in nature and in Pony kind. There were fun games to play this day, and lots of sweets to have.

It had been months since he Joined the Jewelry Box, and since then, Azure has been having a blast being Sapphire or rather, being Sapphire’s ore, with the other gems. Bulkhead, who was known as Sapphire to the group, was teaching him all the ropes of the group since he chose to be Azure's Jeweler. Azure learned proper makeup techniques, choosing the right dress for the right occasion, picking the right accessories and how to look and act prim and proper…and even a little naughty.

Today was a big day for the Jewelry Box, an Easter parade and fair was planned today in Ponyville, and the Gems were hosting it, making it a charity event, all the profits that they generated would go to Foals in need. And Sapphire and Azure were chosen to lead the parade, so Azure had to look his best.

“How is my Ore doing?” Azure turned and saw Bulkhead, in a light pink Polkadot lingerie set, entering the dressing room.

“I think This dress will be perfect,” Azure said holding a dress up with his magic:  A light-blue dress with a light pink trim and Easter Eggs in a pattern on the skirt and Bodice.

“Oh, my. I agree, my Ore.” Bulkhead said smiling, “In fact, I think we should wear matching outfits.”

“Really? Wow, thank you. We’re gonna really Shine today huh?” Azure asked with a smile

“That’s the idea.” Bulkhead replied.

It didn’t take long for them to change into their new Easter dresses. Azure smiled looking at his reflection, he was fully made up, with his blonde wig and tail, and matching pink shoes on his hooves. Bulkhead was fully made up as well, with his White Mane and tail, and his Bracelet completed the transformation, Becoming Sapphire.

“Oh Miss Sapphire, you and your Ore look absolutely lovely,” Another pony said, the Proprietor of the Jewelry Box’s dress shop, which was named "Sheep’s Clothing." The Owner was a Pegasus pony with a long Blue Mane and tail, a light orange colored coat, with Dark-orange colored patches on her muzzle and hooves, one of which having a Jasper Gemstone bracelet. “You two are going to Shine the brightest in the parade and pair today.”

“Thank you, Jasper. Put them on my tab, would you?” Sapphire asked.

“Of course. You best get going, You know how the Gem Mother likes Punctuality.” Jasper said.

“I do. Come on, Ore.” Sapphire called out, Azure happily trotted with Sapphire as the exited the shop.

“OK my Gems, Front and Center!” Rarity, the Gem Mother, called out. Sapphire and Azure approach first. After they came, Evil Frenzy, Being Lapis Lazuli, approached. He chose a more…exotic choice, in a one-piece light blue dress, with bows on the top of the blouse, his hind legs having fishnet stockings and matching heels, and a small top-hat with bunny ears and a cottontail where his tail would be, he managed to use his magic to make his Tail to look like a Bunny’s, matching his Red/orange mane.

“Hello, Lapis.” Azure Greeted, “I like your outfit, very pretty.”

“Thanks. I wanted it to look a little sexier,” Evil started to say, “But the Gem Mother wanted more subtlety, so I added a skirt,” he finished, shaking his hips to make the skirt swish.

More Ponies lined up, Azure got to know all the main performers of the Jewelry Box: There was Blazing Shield, who went under the name Ruby, an Alicorn Pony with a red coat and flame-colored mane and tail, which was hidden in a short brunette wig and tail extension. He wore a Pink and white dress like Evil’s, he even had the cute Bunny Ear hat that matched.

Spearmint, AKA Peridot, an Earth pony with a lime green coat and Mane of Dark green with cream-colored streaks, the wig and tail extensions hid his baby blue colored mane and tail. His dress was a bright green and white dress with Egg patters and a matching Bonnet.

Brainstorm, Who was called Topaz when dressing up, was another earth pony with a light-blue coat, His Dark blue and Yellow mane covered his natural green mane and tail in a feminine bun and curls, his dress was Blue with Green trim, Flowers that matched his colors were designed on the gown and bonnet.

Once the other gems arrived, Rarity spoke to them all, “I hope you’re all ready for today, we’re going to show off and have some great fun.” Rarity said, “Once we finish the Parade, we’ll all begin our duties at the fair. Ruby, Lapis, you’re in charge of the Easter Egg Hunt.”

“You can count on us, Ma'am” Evil said in girl's voice.

“Peridot, Topaz, I want you girls to join the Band, Your singing voices is gonna attract more guest to our booths.” Rarity ordered.

“You got it, Gem Mother.” Spearmint replied with a sweet smile.

“And for our Stars, Sapphire, you and your Ore will be manning the most importiant part of our fair.” Rarity explained, “the Kissing booth.”

Azure blushed hard, “Oh my…Really Ma’am?” Azure asked with a bit of Giddiness. The last even the Gems were a part of, He saw Ruby be the Kissing Booth Princess, and they drew quite the crowd, making a ton of bits. Azure as a bit envious, it was a secret fantasy of his to run a kissing booth, he uses to act it out back in his school days at home.

“Oh, yes. The kissing Booth isn’t for every gem, but your Jeweler and I both agree that you have what it takes.” Rarity praised.

Azure let out a bright smile “Oh thank you, Gem mother.” He replied before performing a curtsy.

“Thank Sapphire, she convinced me of the idea.” Rarity said.

Azure turned to Sapphire and gave him a hug, “Thank you so much, Sapphire.”

“Don’t thank me yet. Being the Booth Princess isn’t as fun as it sounds, you will come across ponies who might take advantage, are you sure you want this?” Sapphire asked.

“Oh yes, yes I do!” Azure said as he jumped with Joy.

Sapphire giggled, “Alright then.”

//////////

After Rarity gave the other gems orders on their tasks, she had them meet up with the rest of the ponies who were hosting the Parade. Once everything was in place, and once the Gems arrived on their float, the Parade was off to a great start. Ponies all over town were in the Easter best, Boys in suits and hats, and girls in beautiful dresses, many of which Rarity designed, Azure and Sapphire waved to the crowds that showed up to watch the parade. Azure gave a giggled as some of the colts winked at Azure’s way, he giggled and blew them a kiss. Sapphire saw this and smiled, “Don’t break too many hearts, my Ore, or we’ll be bombarded with colts…and maybe a few Fillies.” she said.

Azure smiled, “Ok, ok, I'll try and reel it in. But can you blame me? This feels amazing,” he whispered.

“Yeah, it is a great feeling.” Sapphire replied.

The parade continued its route all the way to the town hall where the Fair was decided to be held. The Gems of the Jewelry Box got off the float and joined with Rarity and her friends, including Princess Twilight. Azure gasped, He’d seen pictures but never got to see her up close, He smiled as Twilight addressed the crowd. “Welcome Every Pony to this year’s Easter Festival. Today we celebrate the beginning of another great Spring, I’d like to thank my Friends for helping set up the events and shows that you will all hopefully enjoy. And so, without Further Ado…Let the Festival begin!”

Pinkie Pie drew her Party Cannon and fired it into the air, letting out a big blast of brightly colored confetti. The ponies stomped on the ground in applause before the group began to disburse.

Sapphire lead Azure to the booth that they will be operating. “So my Ore, here how the system will work: it’s one bit for one kiss, and it’ll be a simple kiss, no open mouth Prance kissing.” Sapphire explained, using the term used where Ponies would touch their tongues while kissing. Azure seemed to frown a little at that, but that’s when Sapphire added, “That cost 10 bits.”

This made Azure giggle girlishly, “You’re too good to me, my Jeweler.”  

“Well, it gets better.” Sapphire said as she reached under the booth’s cubbyhole and took out several tubes of lip gloss, “I have several flavors of lip gloss for you. Colts will get to choose the flavor.”

“Ooh! How sweet.” Azure cooed with glee.

“I’m glad you like it, Ore.” Sapphire said, “Ooh, looks like we’re getting our first customer.”

A lone Colt with an orange coat with a Brown mane and Horseshoes for a cutie mark approached, he blushed a little “Um…Hi there. I’d like a one-bit kiss” He said placing the bit on the table.

Azure blushed “Why thank you, Would you like to pick a lip gloss flavor?” Azure asked, doing his perfect girl voice.

“Um…Do you have Apple?” He asked as his blush gets a little darker.

Azure looked at the set and smiled, “Hmm, looks like we do have Apple.” He uses his magic to pick the favored lip gloss and applied it gently on his lips, “Ok, cutie, pucker up.”

The Pony closed his eyes and puckered slightly. Azure blushed and gently leaned in, his lips touching the Colt’s, he got goosebumps as they shared the short kiss before Azure pulled away smiling. The Colt opens his eyes, he blushes a deep red “Wow…thanks.” he said before pulling away and trotted off.

“Oh, wow…I’m feeling chills.” Azure giggled, “my first kiss at a kissing booth.”

Sapphire just giggled at Azure’s joy, “I’m glad you’re so happy doing this.”

At that moment, a Pegasus Mare approached. She looked around Sapphire’s age, wearing an elegant gold-yellow gown with blue trim, long flowing blonde mane that cascaded elegantly around her cream colored face, the hair was topped with a toy tiara. “Well, aren’t you a cutie.” She said sweetly.

“Hello there.” Azure greeted with a smile, “Are you enjoying the Fair?”

“Oh very much so.” The Mare said, “In fact…” she reached into a satchel and drops 10 bits, “I’d like a kiss.”

Azure blushed, he smiled when the Mare smiled sweetly at him, “Oh wow…Well, what flavor lip gloss would you like?”

“I’ll pick the Lemon,” she said, before Azure could take it, the Mare took it herself and happily applied it on him, she smiled, “You look cute in that shade.” Then without warning, the Mare leaned in and kissed deeply, her tongue entered his mouth, Azure moaned softly before he happily kissed back. Their tongues played together for a moment before the mare pulled away. “Mm…you’re not too bad.” she said sweetly. She then pulled something from the front of her blouse, a card with a number, “The name is Ambermane, Call me” She said in a flirting tone before trotting away.

“Oh wow…” Sapphire said.

“You handled that amazingly, Azure.” Sapphire said.

“Thanks, that was a little surprising myself.” Azure looks at the card again and slips it in the front part of his blouse, giggling lightly before another pony came over.

////////////

It was a few hours into the Fair when a line began to form from the Kissing booth, all the Colts in town, and even a few shy Fillies stood, wanting to share a kiss with the new Booth Princess. Azure finished another kiss with a Colt in a Brown coat and Light brown mane and tail.

Sapphire counted the bits “Oh, my Gosh. Look at all these bits, I think you’re about to break Ruby’s record.”

“Oh, my…you think so?” Azure asked with a light smile.

“I think a few more kisses and it’ll do.” Sapphire said.

“Sapphire?” A voice called, both ponies turned to the the voice that called he name, but only Azure gasped. Standing at the front was another Unicorn colt in a new suit: Midnight blue coat like Evil’s, but this colt had an Orange-fire colored mane and tail that was neatly combed, his Cutie Mark was visitable, an open book with rainbow-colored pages depicting the moon and stars.

Sapphire didn’t recognize him, but Azure did. “Night Archive?” he asked, keeping his girl's voice.

“Sapphire, it IS you!” He said with a light laugh, “Ohmygosh, look at you. You’re beautiful.”

“Oh Arc, you always said that to me,” Azure said in a flustered tone.

“But I always meant it.” Night Archive.

“You know this Pony, Ore?” Sapphire asked.

“Ore?” Arc asked.

“I have a lot to catch you up on” Azure began, “but can it wait until later? I still have some-“

“Azure, you can go on ahead, I wouldn’t want you to miss catching up, ” Sapphire said, “I’ll take over for you for a few minutes.”

“Really?” Azure asked, “Wow, thank, Sapphire.”

“She’s named Sapphire too?” Archive asked.

“Yeah, I’ll tell you all about it, in time,” Azure said before walking out of the booth, “I’ll be back in a few minutes, Sapphire.”

“Don’t take too long” Sapphire called out.

/////////

Azure and Night Archive strolled through the fair, though the day was getting closer to ending, the fair was still rather active, Azure looked over Arc, “So…I like your new suit.”

“Thanks, I thought it looked nice.” Arc replied, “And I do love your dress.”

“Thank you,” Azure said with a smile. “I see that you’re still using you sleep spell.” He brought up.

Night Archive has always been more active at night, Azure learned this when they first met at school, it was how he got his cutie mark as well. When Night Shift started to train his magic, he learned a spell that would let him sleep at night and be active in the day, instead of the reverse.

“Yeah, I mostly use it when I want to be awake during celebrations.” He told him, “So, you’re with a group of Stallions who like to dress up too?” Night Archive asked.

“Oh yeah, and It has been magical being part of their group.” Azure explained, “I’ve only been an Ore for a few months and I love it. I can’t wait until I get my Bracelet and become a real Gem.”

“Have to say, I enjoy the terminology. Do you think you’ll get a Sapphire when the day comes?” Arc asked.

“I don’t know…they say that no two members have the same Gems. They might give me something else” Azure said, “But I like my name, I like Sapphire…I don’t want to change it.”

Arc saw that his friend looked a bit down. He smiled as he noticed a pony selling flowers. He uses his magic and gives the seller a bit, the seller gives him a blue flow, in turn, presented it to Azure. “Well…no matter what your name is…you’ll always be Sapphire to me.”

Azure blushed as he was touched by this small but sweet gesture, “Oh Arc…You always knew what to say.” Taking the flower with his magic, He leaned in and gently kissed Arc on the lips, Arc didn’t mind kissing back, the two did use to date before the end of school.

Night Archive learned about his attraction to Colts growing up, he didn’t fully understand it back then, but when he learned that Azure had similar attractions, they both wanted to see how it would go, so both ponies began dating. Azure dressed as Sapphire ever time they dated, if only to give the two a bit of safety in case there were ponies who didn’t approve. They were a happy couple, but things got complicated for both of them. Thankfully they left on good terms and were still friends.

The two pulled away and smiled, “Guess I’m lucky. I got to kiss the Booth Princess for free.”

Azure giggled at that, “Just don’t go telling your friends about it.” He joked along with her.

“Well, I should let you get back to it. I wouldn’t want you to get in trouble with that Sapphire.” Arc said.

“Ok then. Will I see you again?” Azure asked.

“You might.” Night Archive answered, “Just Promise me when you get your gem, you call me and Morgana so we can see the ceremony. There IS a ceremony, right?” he asked.

Azure giggled, “Yes, and I promise. And tell Morgana that I said hi.”

“You know it.” Arc replied.

Azure turned and started to trot back to the booth, but he stopped, he turned back to Arc and rushed to him, “One more for the road.” He said before kissing Arc deeply, the ponies shared the kiss for a few moments, Azure lifting a hind leg in the air as well before pulling away. Azure didn’t care what happened after today, and he wouldn’t know what might happen next time, all he knew was that today was the best Easter he’s ever had.
