This story is a sequel to How Come Stories Have to End?
Something dawns on Rarity after a few days, something she feels needs to be addressed. And once she sets her mind to talk about it, things might start to become clear... if Rainbow would cooperate, that is.
Takes place immediately after The Last Roundup.

Thank you!
Eeee, cute!

Thank you! I am honored.
Lol!
Glad I read this. Was fun and had good heartwarming fluffiness
This is exactly what I was hoping the story would turn out to be.
Thank you.
And this IS how I personally would imagine the conversation going... for the most part anyway.

Thank you!

Ah, well. Thanks for reading!

Thank you both! I'm glad you were satisfied with the tale.
Just some criticism, but that long description sounds extremely vague. Why should I care about what this "something" is? Maybe some more context?
I don't know. It doesn't really attract me into reading this.

Thanks! Working on it.

When Rarity said she would tell her the ending if Daring Do, I was like, she doesn't read Daring Do! You totally stole my line Rainbow. Anyway great job! I'm expecting more awesomeness from you in the future!
7435890
Thank you, I'm flattered!
7435896 you're welcome! And I'm very excited for the second part of Rarity POW!!!!!!!!

Thanks again! Check this out if you want to help me a little in making of it!

I had to get an Indiana Jones reference in there somehow.
Em, not to complain, but doesn't that count as... well, lying?
Not a bad story, by any means. Just wondering.
7436918
Technically, yes.
But Rarity isn't exactly the Element of Honesty, and it seemed like an in-character ability for her.
Thank you for reading, and I always appreciate the feedback.
7436959 You're welcome.

A high-society lady has to be skilled in deception, deflection, double-talk, and body language.
7438274
Exactly.
Terrific work! And pretty dang funny.
Though I'd now really like to see a story of Rainbow reading that book.
While I personally enjoyed Crystal Skull, I can only imagine Rainbows reaction to the ending.

Thanks!
And I've been thinking of doing my own version of the Crystal Skull for a couple days, and now I can add it to the "Requested" list! I'll probably get to it once I finish POW and When Darkness Breaks.
Here you touch upon a big part of how fan fiction grows tremendously from the show's often simplistic storylines: simply considering the realistic consequences of some of the character actions helps create a lot of room to maneuver as a writer. The one question that any writer can ask when they see MLP:FiM and then desire to write fan fiction for it is "What if this was real? What would happen instead?"
The "W.H.Y." series you've made is a great way to approach writing about the show. "Why?" is the most powerful first question you can answer to create a storyline. "Why Not?" is the second most. :)
I love that you reference your other story here. This would be a perfect place to put a link to it over the words. XD Great tie-in!
Even this explanation feels like it could easily be canon. It's explained in a way that Rainbow would not describe as "mushy" :P and it's endearing as well. A great emotional climax.
Nice ending :D
By the way, you do an AMAZING job of keeping the characters in, well, character. Even though this situation was serious, I could Rainbow Dash's avoidance tactics as something she'd do canonically.
This was a great short story! :D
Fav'd and upvoted :D

Indeed.
Thank you!
Actually, that was before I started that story, and was playing around with the idea. Though I'd be lying if I said the tie-in wasn't intentional. Thanks again!
I'm glad I could keep it realistic, and I'm glad that the subtle meanings shone through as intended. I planned these to be simple answers to those who sought them, as well as providing subtle commentary on the different ways both I and other FiMfictioners can interpret things. You honor me with such a review, my friend.
Once more: Thank you.
Nice explanation for the camaraderie of AJ and Rainbow. And Rarity's deceptiveness
