Rarity has estranged herself from her friends for nearly 3 years. The most anypony ever hears from her is a Hearth's Warming Eve card and her name all over designer clothing from Manehattan. Spike travels to Manehattan in search of his beloved friend. What secrets are being hidden behind all the tall skyscrapers and bustle of "The Big Apple?"
Thank you, psp7master, for the conversation that sparked this idea, nearly a month ago.
Thank you, starlight blaze, for helping to refine my ideas into a proper story.
This story was also partly inspired by the lyrics to this song
Chapters (7)
Wheel in the sky keeps on turning...
Journey + Best pony, had to read.
Must say I liked it even though I normally don't go for stories like this. Very interested to see where this goes.
3916619 As upbeat a band as Journey was, I always found Wheel in the Sky to be sad. Lol. I'm glad you like it so far.
Is Rarity an escort?
3921228 Lol. No. Good guess though.
I might do that in a different story now. 
Rarity's daughter Blue Belle...
Duh...duh...duh...
3921330 Oh you so wish this was going to be that happy.
We really need a discord emoticon so I can have an evil grin. 
3921244 Can't wait till that comes out.
Is she dating somepony?
3921353 I think I might have to make that one mature to make it right. Lol. idk what's up with me and tormenting my characters lately.
3921354 Spoilers.
Hmm. Interesting set up so far. Hows chapter 3 going?
3923898 Well, slowly. I'm working today, but it still might be out by tomorrow.
My exact emotions. Good work.

3928175 Thank you.
What do you mean?
3928282 Oh lol, I meant my face was like in the gif.
Did you um... *kerhem* ... take my chapter for a spin?
3928288 Not yet.
I took a shower. I'm going to go read it now. 
3928324 If you want, you don't have to correct anything tonight, you can just take a peek if you want.
3928331 Well, I don't have a pc at home, so sadly I can't even do anything to my own stories. I'd probably be twice as productive if I had a computer. Lol. At home I just have my phone.
3928343 Understood!

Awesome. When it happens, it happens.
Anyways, best of luck and I'm excited to see where this goes.
Honestly, it is exactly where I expected the story to be. The "kiddo" comment was my high hopes. Good luck with the oncoming shit storm, but bravo for actually touching a bit situations like this.
The question is, how deep does the rabbit hole go for rarity?
EDIT: May want to consider throwing a dark tag on the story as a fair amount of people probably didn't see that coming/won't like the chain of events.
3935840 I don't feel it's really dark, though, but I do suppose it will help with the oncoming storm. I suppose it will be getting darker so...
I'm pretty sure I'll make a lot of people mad with this one. Lol.

To spike...............DAMN PROUD OF YOU BOY!!! Don't give up just yet she will come round *two big wolven thumbs up* also if it would have been me in there ........... Super Star would have had to change his name to ............ Falling star haaahaaahaahaaa
3936028 Lol. Why such a dumbfounded expression?
Thanks for the thumbs up, btw.
3936056 Ha ha. Lol. I have plans for him, so I couldn't just kill him off. Lol.
3936204 Oh I was dumbfounded cuz my brain couldn't comprehend all the awesomeness I was reading.
3936225 Aaaawwwww. Thank you.
3936233 Quite welcome.
pure awesome may i ask when the next update shall be out. PS im following you now.
3937181 Well it's not the only thing I'm working on at the moment, and this last chapter was just today, but I'm a very active writer despite not having a computer at home, so it shouldn't be but a couple of days. I'm glad you like it.
That was a great chapter, it held alot of emotion and impact on the readers. Can't wait to see where the story is headed. I can tell it wont end with rainbows and butterflies, nonetheless I still hope....(Spike Power!!)
lol
3944891 I actually have an alternate ending planned for after I write the original ending. It'll still be full of feels and not be so dark...
K can't wait to read them both. I don't know which I want to read more. But hey, at least it didn't turn out with Rar as a " lady of the night" like I first thought it was going to go lol
3944971 Lol. Nope.
I'm glad that people are liking this so much, considering it's the only story I've written that hasn't been a ship. This was just me, pouring my emotions into a story for all to see, and I'm pleased -and surprised- with the reception it's recieved.
Yup. That just says that people like your voice and your writing style
3945071 I guess so.
thinkinggamers.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/what-a-twist.jpg
3954961 Lol. Did you like that?
3955003 Yes I did!
3955005 That probably added another chapter onto this thing. Lol. It was originally only going to be three chapters long.
This was a good filler chapter, but now I really want to read what happens next.
. I have to say you are kinda evil for leaving it at these point lol.
3957385 I am a bit evil.
I am the king of cliffhangers. 
I'm actually getting ideas for how the next chapter is going to run as I'm writing this, so it'll possibly be out by tomorrow. 
K i can only hope it will be. Can't wait to hear what Rar will have to say to Spike (will she break down, will she blame it all on Spike, will he be the one to blow up on her for how she is living, Will she try to blow it off like nothing happen) lol so many ways it can play out.
3957881 what would you do if all that happened at once?
Lol.
I think i would laugh and be happy as a frosting covered Pinkie (which would make "me" a very happy camper as well lol)
