The Mysteries of Love

Epilogue

Rarity's P.O.V.

One month later…

The day has finally arrived. Today, the Friendship Games will start. The entire school was prepared for it thanks to our combined effort. The walls were all covered with posters and signs about us and the Games. My friends, girlfriend and I were at the school library, waiting for Sunset before showing them a surprise. We were not shocked that we were voted by the popularity poll, but we sure were when even Trixie was voted. Like the rest of us, my girlfriend was nervous about what the Games had in store for us, but she was happy that the school’s opinion about her has changed enough to be voted.

“Has Sunset called any of you? Maybe a text message?” Applejack asked.

“I sent her an emergency text message, but she should be here by now. Rainbow Dash said.

“Maybe she’s running fashionably late?” I was getting a little worried.

“She'll be here soon, don't worry.” Trixie didn’t move her eyes from her phone. I didn’t think much of it until she started to chuckle lightly.

“What are you looking at, my dear?”

“Nothing.” Her smirk didn’t convince me. She can’t be looking at what I think it is… is she?

“Trixie, don’t tell me you’re staring at that awful photo again.”

“It’s not awful. I love it! You look great!”

“I most certainly don’t!” she took a photo of me in an awkward position. When I was biting a cupcake. The frosting got all over my face. That muffin was delicious. Too delicious. I was so focused on it, that I didn't realize Trixie took me a picture, and now she refuses to get rid it!

“Trixie, delete that right now!” I tried to take her cellphone, but she kept me away with an arm.

“No, can’t do, Rarity. I told you, I love this photo!”

“I don’t look appealing. A lady should not be seen like this, it’s embarrassing! Why did you take me a photo while I was eating?!

"Because I considered it was funny. Besides, you're always taking selfies or photos of us and I thought I could do the same. Plus, you still look stunning.”

“I’m taking Trixie’s side.” Rainbow Dash commented. “It is funny!”

“It’s not!” I puffed my cheeks, which were bright red by now.

"Shh! Be quiet, please!" Miss Cheerilee frowned at us.

"We're sorry..." I glanced from Cheerilee to Trixie and whispered loudly. “Trixie, don’t be mean. Please, get rid of that photo!” I kept trying to get Trixie’s phone, but she just wouldn’t allow me.

“Hello, everyone!” Sunset interrupted us when she arrived.

“Oh, hey, Sunset!” Rainbow Dash greeted our friend.

“Sunny-Bunny!” Fluttershy tackled her girlfriend with a hug. Sunset chuckled softly and stoked Fluttershy’s hair.

“You sure took yer time.” Applejack said with a smug.

“Sorry I’m late, but I’ve been distracting myself with something.”

"Yeah, yeah... you got it?" Our athletic friend asked with impatience.

"I do. Here." Sunset gave Rainbow Dash a spare guitar string.

"Oh, sweet! Thank you!"

"You're welcome." Sunset smirked.

“You said you distracted yourself with something? What is it, dear?” I asked.

“I saw someone by the Wondercolt statue early this morning. I couldn’t make out who it was because they were hooded. I tried to call them, but they ran away. I’ve been trying to figure out who that mysterious stranger was, and I lost track of time.”

“I don’t think you should worry about that.” Rainbow Dash crossed her arms.

"But I could swear they were holding something strange. They seemed fascinated about the statue for some reason. "

“The Crystal Prep Academy’s students are to come today. That stranger was probably one of them trying to do some vandalism on the statue.” Applejack said.

“That’s most likely.” Rainbow Dash spoke again, pulling out her cell phone and walking towards Sunset. "It wouldn't be the first time. Take a look to what they did to it last time."

"But I just have a bad feeling about it. What if they know what the statue really is?" Sunset placed a hand on her chin to analyze the situation. "If only I could see who it was..."

"I highly doubt they knew." I spoke again. "You should let this go, Sunset. Not everything is related to magic."

Fluttershy raised her head to look at Sunset, but I couldn’t quite see her face from where I was standing. The equestrian girl smiled and patted her head. “You’re probably right. I might be thinking too much into it.” Sunset released the hug and walked towards us, holding Fluttershy’s hand. “So, what where you girls doing?” She asked as we walked out the library. Now that we were all here, we could go to the room where we store our instruments.

“Oh, Sunset, you must aid me!” I said as I grabbed my friend from her jacket. “Remember the embarrassing photo Trixie took of me? Could you please reason with her and ask her to delete it?”

Sunset pulled out her phone and started to look for something in it. “You mean…” She said before showing me the screen of her cellphone. “This photo?”

“Y-You have it too?!” I was shocked. I just couldn’t believe it.

“Trixie needed a backup in case she lost the original.” Trixie said, smiled innocently.

“You have got to delete it, Sunset, please!”

“As your friend, I should. But as Trixie’s best friend, I can’t.” Sunset said as she put away her cell phone.

“Wh-What…?” Trixie winked at Sunset, and she returned it. “You two are just… unbelievable!” My friends laughed as I crossed my arms. Then, I felt an arm around my shoulder and felt Trixie’s voice close to me.

“Come on, Rarity, don’t be like that. You know this photo will be kept between us.”

“Exactly. Just between the seven of us.” Sunset smiled warmly. I glanced at my girlfriend, then at Sunset, and finally, the rest of my friends. I smiled lightly. They could get on my nerve sometimes, but they knew I wouldn’t get angry over something like this. I sighed and smiled as I placed my hands on my hips. “Alright, that’s enough. Now, can we please hurry? I have made the perfect outfits for the Games, and I want you to try them on.”

“Sure! Let’s go.” Trixie put her cell phone away and placed her hand on my arm. “Guide us, oh mighty fashionista.”

I giggled, and then led my friends and girlfriend towards the room I kept all the attires to try on. “Alright, Here we are. Take a look!” I’ve kept myself busy the last month. I took the liberty to make sports clothes, many variations depending on the what we’re going to play, party dresses and outfits for the get-together before the Games, and even some miscellaneous attires. One can never know when we could need them. “So, what do you think?”

“They’re awesome!” Rainbow Dash grinned while she held her British uniform. “I have no complains, Rarity. You have outdone yourself!”

“Why, thank you, darlings. It’s just that I had a surge of inspiration! The more outfits I made, the more I felt I was filled with energy!” While I spoke, I didn’t only feel my passion. I felt something else. Magic. My pony ears showed up and my hair grew. I also noticed that my feet were no longer on the ground. My heart was filled with happiness again!

“Wow…” Trixie gasped.

“Why are you so surprised, love? You have seen me like this before.”

“But not up close. You look amazing! Can I touch your ears?” I laughed softly, and I was about to reply her, when I suddenly felt something wrong. Something drained from within me and I felt weak. My transformation was gone and my feet touched the ground. “Rarity!” Trixie grabbed me while I was dizzy and all of my friends surrounded me. “Rarity, what’s wrong?” My girlfriend’s worry was growing.

“I-I don’t know… I…”

“Wait, isn’t that…?” Applejack said. I forced myself to follow her gaze. By the door stood a familiar face. But something about her was different.

“T-Twilight?! Is that really you?” Sunset asked in confusion. "Are those glasses new?" The girl by the door backed away a bit.

“Wh-What do you mean? I always had to wear them... wait... H-How do you know my name…?” The girl asked. My dizziness wasn’t confusing me. Twilight was indeed by the door, but she looked different. Besides the glasses, her hair was combed in a different way, and she was using a different clothing. Now that I think about it, I already saw her before. Back when Fluttershy had a crush on her. She's the Twilight from this world!

Author's Note:

Well, that’s it! I know it ends abruptly, but the rest pretty much goes like the third movie, but with two shippings and Trixie on the team. I hope you enjoyed it

Again, I want to thank you for reading. Now I’ll take a well deserved break and probably catch up with a fic I have been reading. MysteriousStranger, out!

Man, I can't believe this story is over. But it was such a good ride.

This is a good bridge to the third movie I am also glad that Trixie made to the team, sadly that won't make much of a difference to the third movie's plot, right?

Anyways, Rarity desperate to delete an embarassing photo of herself was so funny! Come on Rarity, even a lady is allowed to be enthusiastic about eating a pastry. And her girlfriend is allowed to find it cute.

Speaking on cute, Fluttershy giving her "Sunny-Bunny" a tackle hug sounds so adorable! I wonder if Shy gave Sunset the puppy-dog-eyes when the girls were trying to convince Sunset to let the issue of the statue go.

But dammit Sci-Twi! Your stupid gizmo stopped Trixie from petting Rarity's pony ears!
Still, a great epilogue.

[MysteriousStranger]

It was, but it's not the end of this Universe. Hopefully, one day, I'll be able to extend this story, but on separate fics

Well, let's say that for one huge coincidence, one of the Games happens to be Volleyball, where Trixie crushes the CPA

Nothing like an embarassing photo of your loved one

Why do you think Sunset let the subject go shortly after Fluttershy gazed at her?

Timing, I suppose

It was, but it's not the end of this Universe. Hopefully, one day, I'll be able to extend this story, but on separate fics

if this does happen can pm me when it first gets published, I fallowed this since chapter 5 and loved it

[MysteriousStranger]

9054210 I'm following you and saving the link to your profile. If you're still around, I'll make sure to let you know

[sonicfan05]

Great epilogue to a great story! While this story is officially over, at least there's a chance that there may be an extension story to this on a different fic some day.

There's one part of this chapter I think you should fix:

“I saw someone by the Wondercolt statue early this morning. I couldn’t se

makeout who it was because they were hooded. I tried to call them, but they ran away. I’ve been trying to figure out who that mysterious stranger was, and I lost track of time.”

Overall, great job MysteriousStranger! Looking forward to your next work!

Why do you think Sunset let the subject go shortly after Fluttershy gazed at her?

'Cause her girlfriend is the most adorable girl ever? And Sunset cannot say no to Fluttershy?

But I am glad to know that this universe might have sequels. And remember, you can always count with my help.

[MysteriousStranger]

9054348 Exactly

I know. Your help will be appreciated

[MysteriousStranger]

9054307 Oh, my... this is embarassing
Thank you for pointing it out! I have fixed it

Thanks for reading! I will see what the future stores for me. If it's kind, then you'll see more fics related to this story

Hey it is all okay. I was more saying it as a general statement. Most Equestria girls fic and even the first movie don't really talk about it.

But apparently it was bad enough that Rarity essentially lost all her friends and ended up alone. It isn't explained when they all split up either just that they did and the Spring Fling is perhaps the absolute time it happened.

Still enjoying the fic though. I love me Rarixie. I love a lot of Rarity ships though too. Hope you get to write more ideas and stories.

[MysteriousStranger]

9428212 Thank you. I'm still writting shipping fics

Honestly I always thought this was your best work of all the stories you've written.

[MysteriousStranger]

9764541 Until SparkleBlaze happened

[zalla661]

9764553
Hmmm.... honestly I do like SParkleblaze but after going over htis one and My Chemical Reaction I am conflicted onthat point. I like SparkleBlaze better than Rareixie BUT I feel there was more to this one... it's hard to decide both are good for their own merits.

[MysteriousStranger]

9764559 There's also the fact that Chemical is still incomplete

[zalla661]

9764565
Very true. Very true.

[MysteriousStranger]

9764568 Maybe your opinion will change after you read what I have in store
