Fancy’s Fleur 
Chapter 2




“ Your Wife!?”  Rarity said, with a surprised look on her face.  She knew the two were close, but she had never imagined such a beautiful mare would be fancy’s wife, I mean c’mon this gal had the body of Princess Celestia, minus the wings of course, and she had to be a decent amount younger than him.  “Um, well I must say that is rather surprising” Rarity said. “Haha, I get that a lot” Fancy said “People must think how did such a knock-out end up with an old fuddy duddy like me!?”  He said in a jestful voice, rarity blushed, it’s like she read his mind. “Oh darling you flatter me too much” said Elizabeth.  “Not at all my dear, anyway Ms. Rarity, where was I, oh yes, how Elizabeth and I meet, well you see it was a little over 6 years ago at one of Hoity Toity’s fashion shows…….”

“Ugg, Must I really go to another one of these things crone?”  Fancy Pants asked.  “I’m afraid so sir” said an old, yet gruff looking butler pony.  “Oh well, I guess it’s not all that bad, Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against attending such things, after all what proper gentle colt doesn’t enjoy a good show, all those beautiful fillies prancing down the stage in elegant attire, it is quite the sight, however..”  “However what, sir?”  Crone asked.  “I, well, No there’s no kind way to say it, I cannot stand that Hoity Toity, or that insane mare he’s currently dating…what was her name again?  “Photo Finish, I believe is the title she goes by sir.”  Crone Replied.  “Yes crone I believe your right, anyway where was I, oh yes, those two are just so pompous, and they treat their models like things they own instead of properly treating them like equal ponies as the should uncouth!”: I know others may compare Models to escorts, but all jobs have dignity in them, those young ladies deserve more respect from those two.”   Crown smiled “Mr. Fancy, you know it does this old colt’s heart good to know even in the upper crust of Canterlot nobility & aristocracy, there are still a few good stallions like you out and about, why if I had a daughter I’d court you to her right away.”  “That’s very kind of you Crone, but you know I’m not much of a romantic, and sadly I’m not all that much of a young stallion anymore either” Fancy checked his pocket watch “Oh my, look at the time, I’m going to be late, thank you once more for getting my suite prepared Crone, and be sure to tell Flambé & Cookie to not to worry about supper, I’ll most likely pick up something on my way back.”  “Will do sir” said crown as he watched his master dash out the room, and towards his carriage.

Later at the Fashion Show, Fancy Pants found himself involved with various upper-crust Canterlotians who he regularly saw, and of course, despite his silent prayers to Celestia still ended up having to talk to that insufferable Hoity Toity & his equally irksome friend Photo Finish.   “And that’s when I said, Darling if that rag is a designer hat, then I’m a clown”  Hoity said laughing. “Ah, yes yes, quite” Fancy said half-heartedly.  All of a sudden the lights dimmed the stage lite up, and the music Blared. “Oh it seems your show is starting, I guess we best get our seats. “Of course, what kind of designer would miss their own show” Hoity said with a smug voice.  Fancy just sighed and followed Hoity Toity to the VIP section.
The show began with an announcement from Photo Finish about her new studios in Canterlot & Manehatten, after that the models began pouring out; one by one the most beautiful Mares & Fillies in all of Equestria came out, Fancy looked down at the models, he had to admit, Hoity Toity may be a blowhard, but he knew how to make a dress, that’s for sure.  Nearly an hour passed and Fancy grew tired of watching the same dozen or so mares come in & out he hadn’t even noticed that Hoity Toity was no longer sitting next to him.  All of a sudden he heard Hoity’s voice booming through a microphone.  Wasn’t that a great show everyone, I think it was one of my best yet…but Wait it’s not over yet, I have a special treat for all of you in the Audience today.  “Oh great”  Fancy mumbled “what now?”   “I present to you all, one of Equestria’s, no the entire world’s most beautiful mare’s a woman who has come to our fair city of Canterlot all the way from Parineighs, Frhaynce!”  “THE ONE, THE ONLY! FLEUR-DE-LIZ!!!
Pyrotechnics flared up from the stage, everything was surrounded by golden light, it was so bright Fancy Had to close his eyes for a second, as did the rest of the crowd.  When he & the rest opened their eyes, they couldn’t do anything else but gasp, there on the stage was the most beautiful woman Fancy had ever seen, she was elegant, she was petite, she looked almost just like their own beloved Princess Celestia, and the pink and golden gown she wore only increased her beauty.  For the first time in many years Fancy Pants was in awe, he couldn’t move, he couldn’t speak, and all he could think was,” I MUST MEET THIS BEAUTIFUL MARE!”
