It had been a busy day for Ponyville's local fashionista, and now it was time for Rarity to get some well-deserved beauty sleep. Or that had been the plan until she got an unlikely visitor.

AN: Written and shipped in 1 hour. Enjoy!
P.S. Someone make more RariPie pictures.
P.S.S. I guess I can expand this if enough people want me to.

Do you remember that one time when you and your fashion understudy got drunk and made love? Rarity doesn't.

This is a story I originally published on deviantART, June 12 of 2011. It was later re-edited and eventually posted to Equestria Daily in October of the same year. Since I started using FIMFiction recently, I figured it best if I start moving all my pony stuff over to this site so you can find it all in one place.

As for the story itself, it's a fairly short oneshot on my favorite ship, RariDash. Not a lot to it, really. Just something cute. Hope you enjoy.

I had a pretty good life. They called me Spit Shine, I worked in the palace, cleaning this, doing that. Hell, I even got to talk to the Princess, and learned all sorts of interesting stuff. It was stimulating, prestigious, and hey, call me weird, but I liked the work.

Shame I was also secretly a changeling infiltrator with a name too annoying to pronounce in polite society trying to observe and potentially subvert your nation state.

I mean, these things happen.

Of course, you'd be surprised what you can learn about a pony when you have a different perspective.

Dee was a very brave batpony who always obeyed her Mama, but every year during the full moon, when the leaves began to change and the cold winds blew, she felt the tug of a city far, far away, where the other children told of monsters who came out to play for one night. This year she is determined to travel all the way through the forest to the city and see with her own eyes just what is so special, no matter how dangerous the trip is, no matter how far she has to fly, or how frighteningly different the monsters are.

Or how similar.

With review by Paul Asaran

Florina Harshwhinny's life story told through hotel reviews.

Loosely inspired by Rick Moody's novel 'Hotels of North America.'

Caught out in a storm and hurt, Rainbow Dash finds herself the last place she would expect to be going for help.

The trip back to Ponyville from the middle of the desert is long, leaving one with plenty of time for their thoughts.

Rarity had everything she ever thought she wanted. The recognition of the Canterlot high society, a booming career, and the love of a loyal and dashing prince.

Of course, none of those old dreams accounted for the prince being another mare. Not that there is anything wrong with that of course, but a proper mare does not go flaunting such things. That's just good manners.

Right?

Part of the Shelf Cleaning Initiative.

In the single most important night of her life, Rainbow Dash decides she wants to swoop Rarity off her hooves by taking her to the bar, getting cozy, and doing everything she could to impress the unicorn.

In other words, somehow accidentally ordering chocolate milk at a bar, served in the single most embarrassing glass ever.
