Obsolescence [ɑb.səˈlɛ.səns] N. The process of becoming obsolete

One night, coming home from delivering a suit to a high-priority customer, Rarity finds her dear sister covered in cuts. The seamstress’ cat just happens to have blood on her claws.
As far as Rarity is concerned, Opalescence is now obsolete, or rather; a living definition of Obsolescence.

But who is truly behind this? It can't honestly be Opal, the sweetest, if not grumpiest cat in Equestria?

Thumbs up, though the vague ending is a bit irksome. Where did the scratches come from? A crusader escapade? If so, why blame Opal? More detail!

The cat deserved it.

wow at the end that doesn't sound like rarity but other than that's it sounds good :pinkiehappy:

Wait... that's the end? But if Opal didn't do it, then who did? If Opal did do it, then what was the point of bringing Fluttershy into the picture at all? Or to put it on a meta level, what, in your mind, was the point of writing this? What is the reader meant to take away from it? :ajbemused:

If this is really only a first chapter and the fic was marked as complete by accident, then okay. But as it is, nothing happens and no-one learns anything, the end, best I can say is that it's short enough that you aren't wasting too much of our time.

...What just happened? :rainbowhuh:

Well that cat got off lucky. If it were me in that moment there would be no talking to Fluttershy, she'd be a hat.

Taking into account certain facts I can see more to tell. I notice that Sweetie Belle doesn't react as Opalescence comes into the room, and she never makes eye contact when she says it was Opal. She is just looking away in the horizon.

I'd like to thank all of you. I will be adding one or more two chapters to finish the tale. This first was just a thought experiment I got from my History class. You can probably already tell something about those next two chapters by looking at the characters...


4294010 I had the same thought when Obselescence was approving my story. :twilightsheepish:

I kind of feel bad for her.

Sweetie Belle also needs to apologize to Opal.

Time to use my catchphrase:
Nice (British accent)
Nuff said.

awesome:twilightsmile: will you make a sequel? :applejackunsure:

Probably not. I never intended for this top be more than a one-shot anyway. But do expect more Diamond Tiara/Filthy Rich later on.

Fluttershy sighed, realizing that it was a good point. She feared for Opal that she lost the argument. However, a struck thought her.

It should be

Fluttershy sighed, realizing that it was a good point. She feared for Opal that she lost the argument. However, a thought struck her.

Once Rarity and Opal had made up, Rarity turned back to Sweetie Belle. “Also, Sweetie Belle, thank you for thinking about my shop before your own matters.” She hugged her sister. “However, I can assure you that Filthy Rich, while he may have money and power, he has the intelligence to keep hold of it. If he went around putting ponies out of business for fun, he’d have lost it all in some form or another.”

I know how to make it better.

Once Rarity and Opal had made up, Rarity turned back to Sweetie Belle. “Also, Sweetie Belle, thank you for thinking about my shop before your own matters, but I'd rather have it closed down than let my sister be attacked.” She hugged her sister. “Besides, I can assure you that Filthy Rich, while he may have money and power, he has the intelligence to keep hold of it. If he went around putting ponies out of business for fun, he’d have lost it all in some form or another.”
