Chapter 10: It's a trap!

Chapter 10: It’s a trap!

Next morning I got up pretty late.

“Shouldn’t stay up that late...Not used to it...”

I thought about yesterday. Did Twilight just pretend to be asleep? Or was she asleep and just didn’t say anything when I carried her? Was it some kind of a weird test? Maybe she wanted to know if I would try anything funny when she’s asleep. Did that mean I had passed the test? I did’t know.

I decided to take my mind off things by taking a walk through town. I took my paintings from yesterday with me, so I could leave them at the town hall. After that I would visit the Doctor. I still had some setting up to do.

“Won’t get away this time, Doc” I thought.

I arrived at the town hall, and showed the Mayor my paintings. She was obviously satisfied.

“They will give the town hall a much more beautiful look.” She smiled.

I blushed a little. I wasn’t used to so much appreciation.

Then I headed towards Ditzy’s house.

“Hello? Anypony there?” I called out, when I arrived.

No answer.

I looked in the garden, but nopony was there. Then I noticed that something else was missing: The TARDIS!

“Doctor Whooves, you little son of a bitch. Looks like, you’ve gotten away again.”

So as there was nothing else to do, I decided to go back to town and look for new motifs for painting. Suddenly I noticed, that I had eaten nothing since yesterday morning. Right on cue my stomach rumbled. I decided to look for a restaurant and eventually found one, where I ordered the largest food on the menu (I was really hungry now). While eating I noticed a mare with a cart selling roses on the street. After I finished eating and paid, I went up to her. Those roses were really beautiful.

“I could buy one for Twilight...But wouldn’t that be too soon. I mean, if I give her a red rose now I might like...scare her off or something...” I thought.

I decided to buy one, just in case. Then I wanted to go to my usual place for painting., when I suddenly bumped into Rarity.

“I’m so sorry. Are you okay?” I tried to apologize.

“I’m fine. At least you didn’t ruin my beautiful styling.

“Yeah...whatever. I think I’ll go now.”

“Wait, I saw you buying a rose over there. Why?” She asked curiously.

“Well...just...I like roses, okay.” I tried to avoid telling the truth.

“I see, I see. Well, could you do me a little favour?” She asked.

“Uhm...yeah, why not? What is it?”

“You’re famous now in Ponyville.”

“I am?” I asked suspiciously.

“Of course, you are. You’re number one subject of conversation in town. The mysterious stranger who appears out of nowhere and turned out to be a talented artist” She chirped.

That was honestly surprising. I knew that some Ponies already were talking about me, but number one subject of conversation? That was new.

“And what do you want from me, now?” I asked, although I already knew what she got at.

“Isn’t it obvious, Darling? My boutique needs some decoration and your paintings would fit perfectly. Of course I’ll pay you sufficiently.”

I thought. Rarity didn’t seem to be half as annoying as I thought. And she also seemed to have forgotten that I missed her little makeover appointment. So what could possibly go wrong?

I followed her to the boutique.

“Oh dear, I totally forgot to clean up. Would you mind if you wait outside until it’s ready? It won’t take more than a minute.” Rarity suddenly said.

“Uhm...okay...if it’s that important to you.” I answered uncertain.

She seemed to be planning something.

“You’re a true gentlecolt. Only a few minutes, okay?” She said, then went into the boutique.

So i waited until I heard her saying:

“I’m ready, you can come in now.”

I stepped inside, but I couldn’t see anything. It was pitch dark.

“Do you have a problem with the lights?” I asked.

Suddenly the door closed.

“Oh shit!”

I tried to open it again, but it was locked.

“It’s a trap! IT’S A TRAP!”

I looked around, but couldn’t see anything. Suddenly someone pointed with a bright flashlight right in my face. I turned my head away.

“What’s going on with you and Twilight? Tell me! TELL ME EVERYTHING!”

“I don’t know, what you’re talking about. We’re just friends!”

That wasn’t even a lie.

“You’re lying. You bought a rose. A red rose! That’s like an official confession” She shouted.

“Okay, okay I admit it. I like Twilight. I like her a lot, but there’s absolutely nothing going on. She just wants to be friends.” I said.

Rarity looked at me for a few moments. Then she turned off the flashlight.

“You look like you tell the truth. I guess I can let you go now, but don’t you ever dare to hurt Twilight. Do you understand me?!” She said.

“Yes I do. I would never try to hurt her.”

“Then, feel free to go.”

“Phew.”

“Oh almost forgot. You remember when I told you I would give you a makeover. Now that you’re here...”

“NOOOOOOOOO!!!”

So I spent the next hour, being trapped in the boutique and getting...ugh...styled.

When Rarity finally finished I busted out of the boutique. I needed to find Rainbow Dash. Eventually I found her relaxing on a cloud.

“Rainbow Dash! I need your help! Now!”

“What’s the matter Xe-. Oh my gosh what happened to you?” She asked.

“Rarity happened. I need a raincloud to get all this hair-gel out of my mane.” I shouted.

“Oh don’t worry. You look...good...sort of.” She said.

I could see that she was trying hard not to burst out laughing.

“Rainbow, please!” I shouted desperately.

“I’m on it.” She said, then dashed off to get a raincloud.

Three seconds later she was back and set the cloud off, right above me. With pleasure, I felt the hair-gel being flushed away.

“Thanks, Rainbow. You saved my day.” I said.

“No big deal.” She responded and flew away to another cloud to take a nap.

Then I went back to my house where I met Spike. He seemed to be looking for something.

“Xenos, there you are. I need your help.” He called out, when he saw me.

“What’s the problem Spike?” I asked.

“You remember, when you said you owe me something, and that I could ask you whenever I need help?”

“Uhm...yeah?”

I wasn’t sure what he was up to.

“Well, I finally have a plan how to win Rarity, but I need your help.” He said euphorically.

“Keep talking I’m listening...”
