//------------------------------// // Syblings love // Story: Adventures of love // by Woogabear //------------------------------// It had been stormy the last couple of days in Ponyville. The reason for this is the Apple family had put in a complaint about the rain fall that year, so it was scheduled to rain for the next three days in Ponyville. This was all to the disdain of Rarity, who unlike the Apple family did not need the rain to continue her way of life. Rarity tip-toed her way through the puddle filled streets of Ponyville trying to get to the fabric store for her new design. She continued along the street levitating an umbrella above her. She often got looks from stallions and mares alike who stared at her sheik clothing and utmost beauty. But everyone knew she had a new beau, and managed to keep their eyes from wandering. Rarity almost missed all the attention, but she had a wonderful relationship with a wonderful stallion, that was all the attention she needed. She continued to make her way to the fabric shop, with an umbrella seated on her back. Finally she made it to the fabric shop with not a speck of mud on her hooves. She proudly walked in and started to look for the fabric. Once she had located it she went to the front desk. The clerks name was Cotton Sheet and he had, had an eye for Rarity the moment he laid eyes on her many years ago. But like every other pony in Ponyville he had heard that she was in a relationship. "Hello Cotton Sheet." She said putting the fabric on the counter. "Will this be all gorgeous?" She blushed slightly. "Uh thank you for the compliment, and yes that will be all." He put his two front hooves on the counter in a more forceful manner. "You know we're having a sale on thread, buy one get one half off. Are you interested?" Rarity started feeling uneasy about the conversation. "Uh no thank you this is all." "Are you sure? The thread can be just as good as this black fabric you bought, maybe even better." He was now completely leaning across the counter. Rarity had a feeling he wasn't talking about fabric anymore. He kept inching forward like he wanted to do something and was set out to do it. Rarity would have walked away if he hadn't been crushing her fabric underneath himself. She started tugging nervously with her magic at the fabric, but she couldn't pull it loose. Cotton Sheet was now fully lying on the table, he started to pucker his lips as if Rarity would comply. Suddenly a gruff voice was heard from behind him. "Cotton Sheet leave this poor mare alone!" A brown stallion with white hair stepped out into the room. Cotton Sheet immediately sunk back behind the counter a look of shame on his face. Rarity, wanting to get out of their as quickly as possible said: "Thank you Mr. Sheet." Rarity quickly left bits on the counter, more than was needed and left the shop. She could hear yelling on the other side of the wall but continued anyway. The rain was coming down lighter, but she knew this was only the first part of the big storm. She quickly trotted back to the Carousel Boutique and stepped inside. upon entering a pair of lips were placed upon hers. She quickly pulled back not knowing who the kisser was, but upon inspection she grinned. "How ungentlepony of you, kissing me when I had no chance to see who you were." He raised an eyebrow at her accusingly. "You literally tackled me on the street!" Rarity blushed slightly at the uncouth memory. "That was different." "And how's that?" "It was a romantic act of passion." "Oh so I'm not romantic enough for you?" Rarity smiled. "Oh Thunderlane, of course you're romantic." "Then why can't I kiss you when you walk in?" "You can Thunderlane, just let me see who you are first so I don't whack you upside the head." Thunderlane laughed. "Okay I can live with that." He leaned down and gave her a tinder kiss on the lips, letting the taste of her posh lipstick stay on his tongue. "You are being awfully sweet today Thunderlane, might I ask why you're here in the first place?" "Oh weather patrol got let out early so I decided to come here." Rarity looked skeptical. "But there's a big storm out don't they need help?" "I guess they didn't need me." He said nervously. "I didn't see any other Pegasus walking around. Are you sure they let you off early?" She raised her eyebrow, looking directly at him. He shifted on his hooves and looked away. "Okay I took the rest of the day off to surprise you when you got home." "Thunderlane, how could you? You know your job is the most important thing." Thunderlane gawked. "You really think that?" "Well I believe it to be true." "You really don't know me, do you?" Rarity looked offended obviously not seeing where this was going. "Yes, I would like to think I know you well." "Rarity I couldn't care less about work, or my job. You are the most important thing in my life. No if, ands, or buts about it. I love you Rarity." Rarity held her breath in. This was the first time either one of them had said the big L word. Of course they both thought it. "I love you too, Thunderlane." She blurted. Instead of replying, Thunderlane just wrapped his hooves around her in an embrace and started kissing her all over. In her mane, on her cheek, he slowly started moving to her lips. But Rarity was impatient and grabbed his cheeks and pulled him in. Immediately Thunderlane reacted picking Rarity up and bringing her to the couch, where they continued kissing. It seemed like it could have gone forever but a quiet knock was heard on the door. Thunderlane and Rarity reluctantly parted their lips red and puffy and Rarity's make up slightly smeared. Rarity's voice came out ragged and out of breath. "Who is it?" "Uh Rarity, it's me Sweetie Belle. Can I come in?" Rarity detached herself from Thunderlane and said: "Yes darling." A white filly walked in with a slightly darker colt. "Sweetie Belle I didn't know you had a friend over." "Oh uh this is Rumble my..." She gulped. "Coltfriend." Rarity sensed the foals uneasiness. "Nice to meet you Rumble, I assume you have seen me or at least heard of me. I'm Thunderlane's fillyfriend." "Nuh nuh nice to meet you ma'am." He stuttered. At first Rarity was confused why he was so nervous, but then she looked at Thunderlane. The room was naturally dark and a strike of lightly struck outside in the storm. For an instant Thunderlane's grave, disappointed look was illuminated, and it was obvious the two young ponies had seen. Sweetie Belle coward behind Rumble who was looking even more scared than she was. Rarity looked at Thunderlane, his face was dimly lit but she could tell that he was not the happy stallion he was a minute ago. Rarity didn't know what to do, she knew Thunderlane didn't approve of Rumble dating her sister, but she was fine with it. Thunderlane got off the couch and walked over to Rumble. It was beginning to get dark outside and the room became darker as well. The black stallion grabbed his brother and started dragging him out the door. "Thunderlane stop!" Thunderlane's ears twitched and he stopped the dragging of his little brother. Thunderlane looked back at her. "What do you mean, stop? This scoundrel-" He holds up Rumble, "-is dating your sister, doesn't that bother you." "What bothers me is how hypocritical you are." Retorted Rarity. "We both know that you were doing the same thing at 15, and you can't control it." "Don't tell me what I can and cannot control, Rumble is my brother not yours." And with that the dragging continued. "Thunderlane stop!" Thunderlane stopped but was starting to look annoyed. "Rumble isn't the only one you're punishing, look at Sweetie Belle." Thunderlane did look at Sweetie Belle. She was reaching out towards Rumble, tears were soaking her white coat. Thunderlane's expression softened. "You're right Rumble is not my brother, but Sweetie Belle is my sister, and you can't punish her." She said. Thunderlane looked tempted to release Rumble, but a look of stubbornness overcame that. He clenched on to Rumble tighter, making the poor colt whimper. Thunderlane and Rumble finally made it to the door, when Thunderlane opened it the rain was coming in sheets, you couldn't see a foot past your muzzle. "Thunderlane where are you going, it's raining. You're going to get yourself killed." He didn't listen to her, and slam the door behind him. Rarity started weeping along with Sweetie Belle. The two ponies cuddled next to each other on the couch, letting the actions of Thunderlane set in. This was by far the worst fight Rarity had ever had with Thunderlane, and she felt awful. Full of self pity, and sadness. He's going to get them both killed. She sadly thought. And I'm just sitting here feeling sorry for myself! I need to go find him! Rarity's mane immediately became soaked as she stepped into the summer rain. She looked around herself but the rain was so thick everything was a blur. She squinted trying to find that bright blue mane in the darkness. Still, she couldn't find anything distinguishing. She figured there was no danger in trying to find him, she knew Ponyville very well. She set off looking for the black stallion she was in love with. As Rarity was walking she started wondering how things could have gone wrong from such a wonderful afternoon. She blushed slightly in the rain thinking of how things were progressing before Sweetie, and Rumble interrupted. She sighed to herself thinking of Thunderlane's excruciatingly cute mad muzzle as he left with Rumble. She then thought about her love sick sister, her coltfriend being taken away from her. What am I going to say? She thought. Rarity shivered as the rain set into her coat, chilling her despite the mild temperature. Suddenly a bright ray of white light struck the town hall that she was passing. She jumped and started to get scared, she wondered if she would ever find Thunderlane and Rumble in this storm. But as if by luck, she spotted black and grey dots heading further down the road. Rarity galloped ahead, her purple, wet mane streaming behind her. As she approached the figures, she started yelling Thunderlane's name. As she drew closer the black figure turned around to see a wild, wet mare running towards him full force. Not looking her primly self at all. Thunderlane was shocked and stopped in his tracks. Subconsciously he thought he should probably move but his legs wouldn't work and all he could do was stare. Rumble on the other hand wasn't quite as mesmerized started backing away seeing that she was coming towards Thunderlane. "Thunderlane!" Rarity screamed as she collided with the Stallion, knocking him down for the second time in the relationship. At first Thunderlane's breath was knocked out and all he could do was try to breath. After Rarity saw that he had recovered she smashed her muzzle against his. Thunderlane completely forgot about the fight they had had only minutes ago. They both closed their eyes enjoying the moment. Rumble on the contrary had the widest eyes he could muster. He almost barfed seeing his older brother make out with a mare. Thunderlane opened his eyes and saw his brothers reaction and gently started to pull himself from under Rarity. "I don't ever want to fight again." He said. "I don't either." She said. They then started kissing again, both of them soaked but not bothering them at all. For they had the warmness with each other, that could be never be broken. The only thing that could have made the moment better was Rumble not looking so disgusted in the background.
