Rarity
Rarity had to be careful, very careful. If not, it could be the second worst thing that happened during this entire trip, after the horrible way she had treated Twilight. It could spell certain doom for her.
After all, Prince Blueblood was standing not five feet from her, and if he turned his head just a few inches to his left, she’d be spotted.
Slowly she backed away, thankful the spoiled unicorn was too absorbed in Twilight’s singing to notice her. Unfortunately, she ended up backing into the side of another pony.
“Ah, Rarity, so good to bump into you again,” Fancypants chuckled. “Though I must admit, I wasn’t expecting it to happen so literally.”
The white unicorn blushed, turning to face him. “Oh, Fancypants, I’m so sorry...I was distracted, you see...”
“I did see,” he assured. “Attempting to avoid Prince Blueblood. I take it you’ve had a personal encounter with him?”
Rarity gave a weak smile. “Yes, the last Grand Galloping Gala I attended didn’t quite land me the dream date I was hoping for.”
The unicorn stallion simply grinned. “Yes, I heard of that, it made me regret having to miss the Gala that year. Reports of a cake covered mare really letting the Blueblood have it were all over Canterlot. Many agreed it was worth the event being destroyed if it meant seeing that twit get his just desserts. But I didn’t know that mare was you.”
Rarity felt the blush creep back onto her face. “I didn’t exactly want it advertised. I was grateful he didn’t recognize me at any of the events I was invited to back when we met.”
Fancypants nodded understandingly, adjusting his monocle. “Believe me, even Jet Set and Upper Crust believe he’s too self-absorbed. Well then, perhaps he won’t bother you if he sees you dancing with a handsome gentlecolt. May I?”
The purple maned pony blushed. “Won’t Fleur be angry?”
“Oh don’t worry,” the stallion assured. “Fleur won’t mind me dancing with a friend. Besides, the poor dear was feeling a bit under the weather, so she remained home.”
Rarity smiled. “It would be by honor.”
The pair was out on the dance floor before Twilight’s first song was over, both of them moving with flow and grace to the end of the song, through Pinkie’s rendition of “Equestria Girls” to Twilight once again taking back the microphone. Octavia then stepped up with her slow songs.
The musical earth pony got through three songs of slow dancing before Vinyl Scratch interrupted one of them midway through by switching to a more upbeat tune. Octavia glared at the unicorn, who only gave a wicked grin while bobbing her head up and down. Finally, she rolled her eyes and stormed off, leaving the deejay to have free reign over the stage.
At this point, the pair decided they had had enough dancing and excused themselves from the dance floor. Stopping to get two mugs of cider from the buffet table, the pair had a seat at one of the tables.
“Well, I must say your dancing is quite lovely.”
“You flatter me,” Rarity replied. Now having her wits about her, she didn’t blush at his compliments, she merely batted her eyelashes flirtatiously.
Fancypants smiled coyly, taking a sip of his cider. “So, tell me what happened at the Gala.”
Despite all his high-class training, Fancypants was finding it difficult to suppress his laughter. “So you actually smashed your glass slipper?”
“Well, had I been thinking clearly I would have simply picked it up, but the thought of seeing Blueblood again made me panic. Honestly, how does he merit an invitation to so many events?”
The stallion just sighed. “He’s a prince. One who will hardly do anything beyond his basic duties, but a prince nonetheless. Having him in your parties is good for any of those social climbers that make up most of the elite,” he noted, some clear disapproval in his voice. “I swear, if they didn’t contribute so much to my philanthropic pursuits, I wouldn’t associate with them either.”
Rarity nodded understandingly. If Fancypants wasn’t a prince, he might as well be. His constant charity work had greatly influenced a good deal of Equestria, to the point where Princess Celestia had commended him publicly.
“Well, would you look at that,” Fancypants commented suddenly, looking up at the sky.
Rarity turned in that direction, and gave a little gasp. After all, seeing one of her best friends flying off with a Wonderbolt was not something that happened every day.
“Rainbow Dash?” she asked out loud.
“Ah, yes, that’s one of your friends, isn’t it? She’s a lucky mare, Soarin is quite a gentlecolt.”
“You know him personally?” Rarity asked, a bit surprised.
“Yes, he’s a regular contributor to my charity events. He’s not much for the high life, so he doesn’t attend unless I request a show for the events. Still, he’s a good stallion, your friend is in good hooves.”
Rarity couldn’t help but put on a sincere grin at her friend’s fortune. “After the day we’ve had, I think she deserves pleasantries,” she couldn’t help but muse.
“Yes, the changeling invasion was quite harrowing. I can’t imagine how you must be feeling after being in the middle of the whole thing.”
The unicorn mare sighed. “It’s not so much that...” she began, but stopped, unsure if this was something to bring up to an acquaintance such as him.
Fancypants noticed his date’s hesitation. “You can tell me,” he assured. “You’ve been at the epicenter of the three biggest threats to Equestria in recent memory. Oh yes, I am aware of your accomplishments, even if most of the elite are not. After all you’ve done, the least I can do is listen.”
Rarity was briefly taken aback by the fact that a pony outside of Ponyville was actually acknowledging her heroism before sighing. For the next few minutes, she told the upper-class stallion what had happened earlier that day. How Twilight had seen the problem coming, how all of them had coldly ignored her warnings, how they had left her to face the Changeling Queen heartbroken and alone, and how she had been so quick to forgive them after such treatment.
“She does admit she acted irrationally while trying to warn us, and that we were justified in not believing her. I can’t say I don’t see her logic, but I can’t help but feel awful.”
Fancypants nodded. “Well, that’s understandable. Twilight sounds like a good friend to have, it’s quite natural you’d feel bad at having hurt her.”
She sighed. “Do you remember that dress she wore at the garden party?”
“I do indeed, it was very charming.”
“That wasn’t the dress I intended to make for her. I had a whole ensemble planned with glorious feathers, and enough shining sequins to make Sapphire Shores jealous. But I chose attending all those events you and the others invited me too instead of finishing it.”
“Something you’ve regretted I’m guessing.”
“I do, and it wasn’t the only mistake I made. Looking back on that design again...it was all wrong for her. Glittery, frilly, a hat that covered her horn...she prides herself on her magic, you see...I wasn’t thinking about her. I was thinking about showing up ponies like Jet Set and Upper Crust. When she saw that simple thing she was wearing, she loved it, because it was so simple and practical.” She shook her head. “And when she found out I was skipping out on her birthday to attend your garden party, she let me go with her blessing, she understood it was important for my business.”
“A good friend indeed,” Fancypants agreed. “And I take it the day’s events have made you feel that guilt all over again?”
Rarity nodded sadly. “Indeed. But it’s quite a bit worse than that.”
Fancypants put on a puzzled expression. “Go on...”
“Twilight’s a dear, really...she’s put up with a lot from us. My horrid mistake was just one instance. There have been other times when we’ve let her down. And every time, she’s been quick to forgive us. Even today...when I made the same mistake I made months ago.”
“You feel like you let her down for the sake of your business again?”
“Exactly,” Rarity said simply. “It’s what we were all thinking. I wanted my dresses to be worn in a royal wedding to generate more business. Applejack wanted the food grown on her farm to be tasted by the elite, to boost sales of her produce. Rainbow Dash wanted to perform her flying to get more notice from the Wonderbolts. Pinkie Pie wanted the honor of planning the reception, and perhaps was interested in the commission as well...she’s a party planner for the bakery she works for, you see...and Fluttershy wanted to let the birds she trained perform before royalty. Twilight tried to assure us that we had every reason to doubt her, but I can’t help but feel she’s giving us too much credit for how badly we hurt her.”
She stopped. Even with her usual composure, it was hard to stop herself from sobbing again. “If you had just seen her face, you’d understand. She looked as if we ripped her heart out. Honestly, when we went up to apologize, we were all bracing ourselves for an absolute volley of insults. I actually brought up a cough drop because I expected the poor dear to yell at us until her throat bled. But she was so calm and dismissive. Honestly...it made each and every one of us feel even worse.”
“I see,” Fancypants nodded. “Well, from what you described, I’d say the average pony would be a bit less forgiving. But considering that there are other factors here that weren’t present when we first met, must you really be so hard on yourself? She herself acknowledges her shortcomings.”
The mare nodded. “That has occurred to me, but it’s not a thought that soothes me very well.” She paused, wondering the best way to put this. “I’m the one who holds the Element of Generosity, so I guess I simply feel like I betrayed myself...though I guess a lot of us did today,” she gave a bitter chuckle. “Rainbow Dash has the Element of Loyalty, yet she turned her back on a friend in favor of somepony she’d just met. Fluttershy’s the Element of Kindness, yet she coldly broke Twilight’s heart along with the rest of us.”
“Hmmm...” the stallion rubbed his chin in thought. “So, you think the others feel the way you do?”
“I know Rainbow Dash does,” she replied. “With how emotional she became during our apology, it has to be that. She usually puts on a façade to toughness, you see, really hates getting emotional. I’m not sure about the others at the moment, but I know they all still feel guilty, regardless of their reasons why.”
“I see,” Fancypants nodded. “So I assume you’re going to tell the others of your thoughts, then sit down with them until you manage to talk this out.”
“I really don’t see what else I could do,” Rarity confirmed. “We need to fully let everything out. No pony goes through this kind of guilt and heartbreak and comes out with no emotional baggage.”
“I should say not. But tell me, you said that Twilight believes she herself was responsible for not being believed. Do you think she might be harboring some guilt the same way as you are?”
Rarity opened her mouth to give her answer, only to stop when she realized she had none. “I…I’m not sure. She seemed so calm, but…”
Suddenly, she wanted to kick herself all over again. “How could I…” she trailed off in frustration. Forgetting her upper class manners, she lowered her head against the table. “Oh, I don’t believe myself! I was so relieved at being forgiven…the poor dear must be hurting thinking of how she lost control. Oh, how could I miss that?”
“Don’t feel bad,” Fancypants assured. “You’re close to an emotional situation. I’m an outside observer. It’s easier for me to see the big picture when I’m farther away. It’s simple pony nature, nothing to be ashamed of.”
Rarity sighed. “I suppose…believe me, I know Twilight. She has a lot of pride in her intelligence, but very little in her worth as a friend, regardless of how great of one she is. When we first met, she’d overreact to any little thing she thought might make us think less of her. I have no doubt she’s tearing herself up over this, and putting on a brave face for us.”
Her date nodded in understanding. “Well, then that’s something else to discuss tomorrow. That’s the best you can do, correct?”
The mare sighed. “I suppose…”
“Tell me, are you worried about the future of your group of friends? Are you afraid that maybe you’ll never recover from this?”
“Not in the slightest,” Rarity assured, with enough confidence that it left no doubt in her date’s mind. “We’re all very close, and we’ve had our falling outs. This isn’t the first time our friendship has been tested, and Celestia knows it won’t be the last, but we’ve always recovered splendidly. We will make it through this.”
Fancypants gave a warm smile. “That is something of which I have no doubt.”
She smiled at the compliment. Then she blushed. “I’m terribly sorry, this is inappropriate conversation for an event like this.”
“Quite alright,” the stallion assured. “As I’ve said, the least I can do is give you a chance to get a few things off your chest.”
“Well, I do feel better talking to a third party,” she admitted. “Still, let’s not dwell on this any longer. How have you been these last few months?”
“Just fine. My stocks are still up, and my last charity fundraiser managed to get some good money raised for better treatment of the donkeys and mules that live in Equestria. How about you? How is Carousel Boutique doing?”
“Just fabulous! Oh, those referrals I received from your party guests really gave my business a boost! And Hoity Toity even ordered another dozen items for his next fall line. And with me designing all the dresses for this wedding, I’m bound to get more business than ever.”
The philanthropist pony grinned. This was exactly the opening he was looking for. “Actually, I was hoping to discuss that with you.”
Rarity blinked in surprise. “You want to commission me for an outfit?” she asked hopefully.
“Six, actually. I’m holding a charity auction to try and raise bits to help support the children in Zebrica. Dreadful conditions there, I’m afraid.”
“Yes, I’m aware,” the mare assured. “A zebra lives on the outskirts of Ponyville. She has told us of the conditions of her country.”
“Really?” Fancypants asked, generally surprised. “Such an unusual occurrence for Equestria. Zebras hardly leave their homeland.”
Rarity nodded. “I know what you mean. We all assumed she was a pony who painted stripes on herself until Twilight informed us otherwise.”
“Yes, many of the more rural areas of Equestria have never even heard of zebras.” It wasn’t condescending, just a statement of fact. “Anyway, dresses designed by the designer of the latest royal wedding would be big ticket items. I was hoping to commission half a dozen from you. How quick can you have them ready?”
“I managed to make six dresses for my friends and myself in less than a week, I can manage an important order in the same amount of time.”
“Splendid! Then I will drop by Ponyville in about ten days to pick up my purchase. And I would very much like to meet this zebra. What’s her name?”
“Zecora. She was a doctor by trade in Zebrica, and she still handles some of the more unusual cases in town.”
“Well, ask her if she’d care to contribute anything to the auction. It is for her homeland, after all.”
Rarity tilted her head at this. “Would anypony in the upper class care for a genuine Zebrican object?”
“They would if I said it was worth having,” he replied simply. This time he did speak in a condescending tone, not towards Rarity, however, but to the mindless conformity that constantly surrounded him.
“I suppose that’s true. Anywho, assuming nothing unexpected happens, your order should be ready by the time you arrive. I’ll be ready for you. Will Fleur be coming with you?”
“Oh yes, she is interested in seeing Ponyville. It would help remind her of her hometown.”
Rarity blinked. “Wait, you mean...Fleur is a country pony?”
“Oh yes, she comes from a small town, very much like you. I first met her when she came to Canterlot for some formal education. You see, she has always detested the way the upper class tends to, in a majority, look down on other classes. She got her cutie mark when she realized she wanted to learn social and cultural studies in order to bring the classes together. So she came from her hometown to here. Even without a big city makeover, she was just as lovely then as she is now.” The stallion sighed, smiling at the mere memory of the first meeting with his wife.
“Oh my,” Rarity said, giggling at the thought. “That sounds so romantic.”
“Indeed,” he sighed, still looking through his memories. “The first mare I ever met who wasn’t interested in me for my bits. We fell in love so fast...”
Fancypants looked dreamily into space for a few moments before remembering where he was. Blushing slightly, he readjusted his monocle. “Forgive me, I tend to drift off when thinking of that...”
“That’s quite alright,” Rarity assured, “after you listened to me ramble on about my situation with Twilight, I feel it’s the least I can do.”
The rich stallion smiled appreciatively. “Anywho, we’ll be there in about ten days, if you need any more time message me by fire and we’ll reschedule. Do you have a fireplace capable of doing that?”
“I do not, but Twilight’s assistant Spike can send and receive messages the same way, so it won’t be a problem.”
“Excellent. Now, let me tell you a little about what I want in the order...”
The two unicorns talked for the next hour over some specifics that would be appreciated in Rarity’s designs. All throughout, however, the issue of Twilight lingered in the back of her mind, a nagging voice that wouldn’t be drowned out, even by a prospect as exciting as getting a major a client as Fancypants.
When she first got the invitation to put on the wedding, she was convinced it would be a night that would never end. Now, she wanted nothing more than for it to be over, for it to be the next morning, so that she could get a chance to talk to her friend again, and for them to be back in Ponyville, to get some assurance that things were back to normal between them.

Nice.
I always enjoy a good chat between Rarity and Fancypants in Nice Guy mode; even more so when serious matters are addressed.
I like it and you met my Fancypants not a cheating bastard quota. In fact I like him quite a bit more after this so well done. The implication of messages by fire being a bit more widespread is interesting and a nice hat tip to Spike. It wasn't a legit Sparity moment obviously but I still like that he was brought up. I also felt you might be trying to make some contrast between Fancypants and Fluer's relationship and Spike and Rarity's with his story. That's probably just me looking through my fav ships spyglass though.
I like Fancypants. He's a good guy.
“Anywho, we’ll be there in about ten days, if you need any more time message me by fire and we’ll reschedule. Do you have a fireplace capable of doing that?”
Oo, a floo network.
Nice chapter.
The conversation gives a decent impression of the two of them being good friends. If that's what you're aiming for, good work.
Good characterization on Fancy Pants, and a nice expansion on Fleur's past. Thanks.
Fancy Pants is awesome. :)
Excellent introspection.

Very nicely done you have a few grammatical errors but other then that you did a great job!

Well, that's one thing I love about this fandom: from what I've seen, people at least admit to wearing shipping goggles.
I'm going to be upfront: there's probably not going to be much Sparity in this fic. Spike's main focus will be on his relationship with Twilight (familiar, not romantic, I assure you). I really doubt there's going to be much romance outside of Dash/Soarin. I hope you'll continue to read regardless.
603744
Well, in The Griffon Brush-Off we see a letter arrive to Celestia from something near the fireplace, so I figure it works something like that. I think I read the theory on TVTropes too.
603960
You know, it's funny. The last two chapters, I was worrying I didn't do the character building right, and was thinking I'd be getting this story its first dislike, but no, people love it.
608057 Well i enjoy this I'd be a fool to stop
Spike kinda got fucked over in the episode and had next to no importance nice to see the fandom showing him some love
Damn, this is really good.

I'm really liking this. The basic concept reminds me of Stainless Steel Fox's Best Night Ever Extended, though in my opinion your execution is significantly better. Eagerly looking forward to more.
608423
Spike's been getting screwed over all season...shame since Dragon Quest looked so promising.
611306
I'm glad you like it, and thanks for the link.
612961 Yea lesson, secret, and dragon quest were the only real episodes where spike even came into play all season.
614111 Discord did take care of his threat though that was the whole point in discording the mane 6 it was the first thing he did. He didn't want to kill anyone. NMM did try to kill them the avalanche and the manticore were attempts at ending them. Chrysalis was planing on feeding off of everyone she only didn't bother killing um cause they provided a food source as long as they were alive. She was feeding her entire race every little bit mattered

First off, I appreciate your criticism. It was actually one of my worries that I was making it seem that Twilight was completely right and the others were completely wrong.
You got to remember, everyone praising Twilight is going through the emotional wringer. Whether or not they were justified in not believing Twilight, it's objective that listening to her could have prevented the invasion. They're all feeling guilty, and in their guilt they're dumping on themselves and putting Twilight on a pedestal. Both Twilight and Luna call them out on this.
I want to assure you, the point of this fic isn't to go "Ooh, Twi's awesome!" It's to examine everyone's feelings on the dismissal in Part 1. Right now, we're seeing it from the POV of the other characters, so there's a bit of that. We will get more of Twilight blaming herself for this, I assure you.
I wrote this simply because I felt that everyone making up deserved more than two lines of dialogue. I hope you'll keep reading.
628051
Thanks for catching that.
629899
Wow, actual constructive criticism, nice.
I'm taking your suggestions into consideration, but for now I'm only fixing that grammer mistake you caught.
That whole spiel about Rainbow being import...yeah, when you put it that way, it is pretty ridiculous. Still, despite all that important stuff you mentioned life just seems to go on for everypony. Plus, the Wonderbolts are a big deal to Rainbow Dash, so it's natural she'd be intimidated.
-She forgot the part in the middle where she took out her fair share of them.
Yes, she did. Remember: she's still dumping on herself for not listening to Twilight, so she's underplaying her own accomplishments.
-Interesting... thinking that teaching her would lead Dash into more information about her (lack of?) parents than Scootaloo would prefer Dash to have?
Not quite. Scootaloo does have parents here. As for why she turned down the flying lessons...well, you'll have to wait and see!
632776
And thank you for catching that.
608057>>612961 Well, we did get "Secret of My Excess" in season 2, which has to count for something. I agree that "Dragon Quest" was basically one big wasted opportunity. Save the comedy episodes for characters that have had some actual development, guys, please?
Truth be told, considering what this fic seems to be mostly based on, I wasn't expecting Sparity to feature too prominently. Though I do have to wonder whether that third photo from the post-wedding sequence will come into play.
Ah Fancy Pants, once again proving that just because you have swag, doesn't mean you're a douche bag
Good Guy Fancypants never gets old.
This story... each and every one of these chapters... they... they are... they're so...
This thing you've created...

“I managed to make six dresses for me and my friends in less than a week,
Rarity's talking to a noble. A friendly, down-to-earth noble, but still a noble. She's priding herself on her speech even more than usual. Given this, she shouldn't be using poor grammar like that; "my friends and myself" would be a better choice.
Great otherwise. I'm loving this story so far.
Hope to see him again.
I really liked the explanation for Fleur's cutie mark. It fit really well.
708194
Thanks...I read the fleur de lis is supposed to represent the three social classes. I hope that's right.
Fucking SoarinDash, it ruins everything for me. I can't stomach much more, I'll finish this chapter and... I don't know.
*Sigh*
735046 Fuck you.
Anyway... Keep this the fuck up.
THIS, my good sir, is how a good story should go.
635291 Yeah truth be told Dragon Quest seemed like it was going to be good but only turned out decent because they pretty much rewrote the script part way through changing it from Spike learning about his origins and what it means to be a dragon to hanging out with a sterotypical group of teen punks, crackle seemed to be a big hit though.
610590
Hot damn, I'm thinking someone edited that from the dad in Steamboy, cuz he looks like Dr. Steam with the monocle on the wrong side.

DAT CHIN
Ooooh, a not-so happy ending.
I really like Fancypant's character. He geuinley cares for all social classes and seeing that his wife Fleur is the same way makes me happy.
i like nice guy Fancypants. though, and be honest please, who wants to see Fancy rip Fanon/canon Bluueblood a new one?
Quite interesting chapter, nice to see how Rarity recal to the time when she was to busy with nobles to think about Twilight birthday and yet Twilight not only forgive her but even encourage her ( I have suspicion that Twilight figured Rarity out and just played along, she is smart after all ).
Also, is not Spike spell directed only to send letters to the princess, I m not sure he can send it everywhere, not to mention that he have no idea where SmartyPants live, should not there be rules about what is nesesery to send letter with dragon fire ?
Oh and on side note, from all Twilight friends in episode with Discord, I think none of tham gave Twilight more pain that Rarity, I mean, she made Twilight carry a giant 4 tons boulder for her twice for who knows how long, and it also suprice me how Rarity managed to carry it herself and even dig it out from solid rock with her hooves, where she even learned how to fight since she kicked Applejack quite hard, Rarity is afraid to make her hooves dirty and Twilight is hard working student with not much athletic activities and lossing horns not made tham Earth Ponies, so how can they both be so terribly strong, I quess the elements buff tham somehow after they beat Nightmare Moon.
FEELS!!!
638542 please. Fancy's got CLASS!
Beautiful scene. I love this story.
Reports of a cake covered mare really letting the Blueblood have it were all over Canterlot. Many agreed it was worth the event being destroyed if it meant seeing that twit get his just desserts
I see what you did there
This is great fun and Fancy Pants and Soarin are awesome. That the Mane Cast is awesome goes without saying.
This seems like a good expansion on the Wedding, giving a bit more aftermath on what was somewhat glossed over in the series proper, and you're doing very well on that. I just hope you don't descend too far into dark angst, but I'll see when I read on.
One thing I have to comment on. Rarity says "Twilight tried to assure us that we had every reason to doubt her, but I can’t help but feel she’s giving us too much credit for how badly we hurt her.” I might see what you mean, that Twilight gives them too much credit, in spite of how much they hurt her, but the way the sentence is set up, it can be read that twilight gives them more credit for being distrusting and that is obviously not what you mean. If someone gets credit for something, doesn't that mean that they get recognition? Because if I'm right, that sentence means the opposite of Twilight easily forgiving them. A rewording to something else, "letting us off the hook too easily for how badly we hurt her" or something like that, would maybe clear it up, but it might just be me who reads the sentence oddly. Just thought I'd direct your attention to it, because it jarred me out of the story to wonder at the grammar.
Off to the next chapter!
well you have earned a like from me
As much as I love Rarity, this chapter didn't interest me as much as the Rainbow one did. Not even close. Fancy Pants sounded more like a psychiatrist taking notes and throwing textbook questions than a friend looking to be helpful, and this chapter seems to suffer from the same dialogue issue I noticed with the Celestia chapter, only much more dense.
It sounds like Rarity is sick too.
Was this a re-write?
Since Equestria Girls didn't come out Just 16, 2013 [a long time after this fic was made]. After Twilight ascends. And After Sunset Shimmer takes her crown. Equestria Girls makes no sense in context to this fic, in that any and all of the events that happened that'd make it a thing. Why'd you throw that in there? I mean what does it add to the story? Since its a throwaway line in a rushed feeling paragraph that jerks from that to Octavia's performance?
6279731 It's referring to the music video that aired in like Season one. Someone made this parody of "California Girls" called "Equestria girls"
I would be lying if I dsaid that the only thing that draws me into this ic is just the fact that you have everyone acting like real freaking people, because there is more. IT's alos the introspectins of each character that you present. While the mane five chapter areall about the characters beating themselves up, we see that each thinks of thier own failures and mistakes. However, in each one, we have an outside voice that points out, "Just because you effed up, doesn't negate all of your other accomplishments."
That is what I see here, and that is no further provn than Rariity's line.
Beats me Rares
.
You could've asked Nightmare Moon for that.
I have always been curious about Fancy Pants. Even though he only spoke in two episodes, throughout the entire series, he sure left quite the impression. Needless to say, it's fitting to have him as the chosen character Rarity could speak to.
I love how willing he was to lend an ear to Rarity to vent out her problems.
Ah, yes, even before the events of Slice of Life in Season 5 it's apparent that both Vynal and Octavia had numerous moments between the two of them in the fandom.
I got nothing to say expect how much of a great story this is continuing to be.
