Dinner Party
Admiral Biscuit
“And for you?”
“I'll have the crab, thank you.” Rarity folded her menu and neatly passed it to the waiter, only then noticing the look on her dining companion's faces.
“Crab?”
“I will have you know that the crab here is excellent.”
“Yes, but. . . . “ Twilight wrinkled her brow. “Ponies are—“
“Vegetarian!” Pinkie finished. “I said that in a song once.”
Rainbow blushed slightly. “Pegasi eat fish, sometimes. It's a high-protien, high-density food.”
“My mother and father insisted that I have a diverse education, and that included diversity in diet.” Rarity tossed her head back. “As I am sure you are well aware, seafood is a component of many culture's cuisine, and I am simply respecting that. I will discuss this no further.” She raised her glass of white wine to her lips and took a dainty sip, while her five dinner companions shrugged.
TEN YEARS EARLIER
Rarity stood on the beach, her cold blue eyes locked on the ocean and the giant carapace which was slowly emerging from the deep. She held her ground as the two great claws cleared the tops of the surf, clicking together menacingly in the open air.
All around her, she could hear ponies screaming, beachgoers fleeing for their lives, but she would not flee. These were her sworn enemy, after all.
It snapped towards her, and she darted off to the side, narrowly avoiding its claw, and then she answered with her sword, even as she was curving a spear towards it with her field.
THE PRESENT
“Are you okay?”
“Hmm, oh yes, darling. I just got lost there in an old memory for a moment.” She picked up her fork and took a small piece of crab on the tines, bringing it to her mouth and chewing thoughtfully.
“What does it taste like?” Twilight asked.
Rarity blotted her lips with her napkin before answering. “Victory.”
Yup Rarity is right here. Crustaceans are an enemy to all!
I haven't seen Rarity vs a giant crab in ages. Kudos for reviving a classic meme.
Rarity vs Crab is the best of all pony memes indeed
Valiently trying to put the best face on how they dragged her along on constant vacations, I see.

One of my all-time favorite memes.

They are. They're basically sea spiders.

Story of my life, man.
6543274 Better than he thinks, but nowhere near as good as you're hoping.
Happily, in D&D as elsewhere in fiction, death is not the least bit permanent.
6543289 Research is not cheating. It is, tautologically speaking, research.
Rarity eats water bugs!
I roast them for her tasty
Spikey roasted crab yummy
You ate Spikey roasted crab?
I love the smell of napalm in the morning!

Not that old meme again!
Love it.

Well they are alien ponies if they have six limbs as well.

True, true. Just didn't want to mislead you into thinking I was clever enough to come up with that pun on my own.

She's got to do something with all the giant crabs she's been fighting.
6544275
Of course that old meme again. It's better than peaches, that's for sure.
6546394 WAIT TILL THE WORD GETS AROUND
RARITY HAS CRABS!
6547038 She's tried magic, giant swords, scratching, but they just keep coming back!
That picture has had a special place in my da-favourite list for a long time :)
Ah yes.

It's the background on my laptop, and is my all-time favorite Rarity vs. Giant Crab image.
Rarity keeps her crabs locked in a dungeon.
As the owner of a dungeon, she's a Dungeness, and remarkably, so are they.
I should've known what this was from the second sentence. XD
7998771 Thanks to this jerk, I am reminded you need to write more sequels to this.

I'm kind of surprised you didn't. That is my all-time favorite MLP meme. Well, besides peaches, and I don't think that should count, since I kind of got the ball rolling on that one.

You mean like Not Another Not Another One-Shot-Ober?
8002784 Yes. I mean, unless we find ourselves suddenly doing Meghan's Journal, you'll have plenty of time!

I mean, unless we find ourselves suddenly doing Meghan's Journal, you'll have plenty of time!
Well, I do need to update OPP, A Gift from Celestia, finish Stained Glass, write LUNA FARTS IN ROYAL CANTERLOT for Horizon, and write my traditional April Fool's Derpy Accidentally A Portal Gun, but other than that I should have lots of free time.
Saitama be so proud

Gotcha.
I still have no idea where that meme came from, but I love it.

The story I heard is some person with a bunch of money commissioned a whole lot of artists to draw Rarity vs. giant crab, and of course once it was a meme it gained a life of its own.
