As nightfall arrives, we are aboard the Friendship Express, heading toward the Grand Galloping Gala. We chose to travel via train, because we thought it would be better than last time we attended, which was by carriage. That year was such a debacle that it gives me the shivers just thinking about it.
I just hope I don’t run into that pompous, pitiful excuse for a prince, Prince Blueblood.
I sit with the girls on the train as I look over at Connor sitting with Spike, smiling softly on the outside, but on the inside, my heart is aching after what transpired earlier ago. How can such a creature as horrid as that ‘Sir’ hurt a young, defenseless like Connor? The thought of the little darling getting hurt like that jabs at me like a jagged shard of crystal.
“Um… Rarity, are ya alright there sugarcube?” I am taken out of my focus on Connor by Applejack, and I turn to her.
I let out a heavy sigh “Well Applejack darling, no… no I’m not.” I frown at her and the others “Girls, can I tell you something?” I look at them with a hopeful look, and they all nod at me.
“Of course Rarity, you can tell us anything. What is it?” Twilight looks at me with a curious, yet bright smile.
I look over at Connor as my smile betrays me, turning into a frown. “Before we left the boutique… I kind of yelled, and I scared Connor.” They gasp at me “Well, it wasn’t like I did it on purpose though. It was a complete accident, and I was yelling at myself.” I lower my head, looking at the floor.
I feel a hoof on my shoulder, and lift my head to see Applejack. “Why in tarnation would ya be yelling at yourself Rarity?” She asked with a concerned look on her face.
I let out content sigh “Well… I’ve been having this voice in my head that has been nagging me about how I should handle this situation with Connor. However, it’s also been speaking hurtful things about the little one and my heart fights back at it…and…and…” I clench my eyes shut as a single tear falls to the floor.
“That’s your conscience fighting back at the voice in your head Rarity.” I look up to see Twilight looking at me with deep worry. “And I believe that voice in your head is your doubts of how to care for Connor.” I sniffle, wiping away my tears with a hoof, and let out a heavy sigh.
I look over at him “Also, he told me more about what that ‘Sir’ done to him and it was horrendous.” I can’t help but purse my lips in anger at the thought.
“Whoa there Rare, what did the little guy tell you?” Rainbow asks me as they all leaned in closer and waited for me to continue.
“When I fixed him something to eat before we left, he accidentally dropped his glass of apple juice, making a mess. My heart broke when I saw fear in his eyes, afraid that I would hurt him for making a mess, and he curled up in a little ball on the chair, trembling like a leaf.” I sigh heavily before continuing “After I wiped up the apple juice and swept up the broken glass, I pulled him to me in a hug to calm him down.”
Applejack reached over to rub at my shoulder “Then what happened sugarcube?”
“He told me that ruffian would yell at him for making a simple mistake such as a mess, but what’s worse is that he would beat the defenseless child with a leather belt.” I clench my eyes shut tight, shaking my head allowing more tears to flow.
I feel warmth surrounding me, and I open my eyes to see the girls giving me a big, warm group hug. I give a soft smile “Thank you girls. I needed that very much.” I let out a soft sigh, sniffling, and wipe away the remainder of my tears.
As we approach the train station of Canterlot I look nervously at the girls “Also girls, I have been thinking.” They look at me curiously as I make sure Connor is still out of hearing range, and I turn back to them. “I have been thinking about… maybe… uh… making Connor a permanent member of my family.” I swallow nervously as the others look at me with a mix of reactions.
Silence is the only thing that occurs between us as the train comes to a stop. We carefully stand up to exit the train as I trot up to Connor. I smile warmly down at him “Connor darling, would you like to ride on my back or would you like to try and walk?”
He looks up at with the lightest of smiles. “Ms. Rarity, if it’s okay… I think I will try to walk, but could I stay close to you so I don’t get lost?” He looks up at me with a hopeful smile.
I give him a nod, smiling warmly “Of course sweetheart. I promise Connor, I won’t let you get lost, and you will have a good time at the gala.” I gently kiss him on the top of his head, and turn toward the others who have warm smiles on their face, but I can tell they are conflicted with my possible decision.
As we exit the train, I take in one final deep breath, and exhale deeply. Well, it appears that it’s going to be a long night.
We begin our trek to the castle for the Grand Galloping Gala.
sooooooooo i kinda hope prince blueblood says something and rarity goes off the deepend on him. that would be wonderful

next update must come fast to compensate for short chapter
If you can
I hope Rarity gives that arrogant prince a piece of her mind.
I can see it now...
1) bluecheese calls Connor "hairless monkey" and stuff
2) Rarity goes

3) and finally:
Good to see (unsurprisingly) Rarity has her friends support, in the meanwhile *Appears in the guise of a Butler Pony* Need to make sure Blueblood receives his "gift" from my review two chapters ago.
3112117 impact in 5,4,3,2,
3112270 interesting choice of song
Ah don't sweat it, and hope Rarity well protect Conner, no matter what Prince BlueBastard said.
it maybe short but it's awesome love it man
my feelings if blueblood gets involved
3113119 I have the same feelings my friend. However, I don't think you should worry, because if he dares try to do anything to Connor, you better believe Blueblood will face the wrath once again of Rarity!
3112706 Thank you my friend always. The next chapter I promise will be a little longer.
3112480 Oh, you better believe Rarity will protect Connor. She isn't going to let Prince Blueblood get a chance to do anything. And if he does, where the only thing I have to say is
3112270 Oh, I like that. Kind of a warning song in case Rarity's rage might surface.
3112216 Haha.. If not, he will def. get a gift from Rarity and the girls he shall never forget if he dares try to hurt Connor.
3112117, that is all I am saying to Blueblood.
3112085 Oh trust me, she will. Especially if he tries to disrespect, hurt, or berate Connor.
3112063 Hmm.. that sounds like what Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold from my favorite show "Once Upon A Time" would say.
3112042 Don't worry, I will try to get out soon. Going to work on Chapter Four of Dream Come True.
3112011 hehe.. I am sorry.
3111991 Indeed. I think I would take Celestia and Luna's yelling over Rarity's rage though any day.
3111977 Oh, I am sure he will slip up in the next chapter.
3111985 thank you always.
3113937 Your welcome always
3113937 call dibs on the "fruit punch" when Rarity gets a hold of bluecheese
3114774 Thank you always my friend.

1. Have they said when the new Godzilla movie is coming out?
2. KABOOM!
3. How can we tell that Blueblood won't make a twist and say "oh he's so adorable!".......chances are low but still.
3117014 yes, but its Bluecheese we're talking about.... then again expect the unexpected
3117014 Well, you shall see, but what would you think if Blueblood does call Connor adorable?
3117131 Always do my best to aim for the feels, and the heart.
3118368 It would be a nice turn of events. There's not many fics were he is represented as a good pony.
Small question: When can we see another story featuring little Toby? Now, for a small bit of advice: You might want to work a bit on your spelling and grammar. Other then that, interesting story.
3133142 A New Home III is currently being planned. Jason (APoeticHeart) made some blog posts on it. Go check them out, and you'll know everything!
3118368 I'd squee.
