I’m gonna have a fan-flippin’ tastic Nightmare Night!” Rarity listened with a humored grin at her rainbow-maned friend’s enthusiastic hopes. The pair had met up at one of the local cafes in town, the morning sun still shining down upon the town proper. Even with it being a little early, many a pony was out and about running errands, collecting goodies in preparation for Nightmare Night approaching. Sugarcube Corner itself was the busiest of the several stands throughout the town selling candy, earning Mr. and Mrs. Cake an undoubtedly large bounty from the fervor. The white-coated unicorn wasn’t too concerned with the idea of Nightmare Night. In her youth, it was quite fun getting to dress up, especially since she designed many of those outfits herself instead of the run-of-the-mill store bought costumes. Frolicking from door to door, collecting candy to be eaten over the course of the night and next day, relishing the “scares” of haunted houses and such. Now that she was an older, matured woman, she was more than happy to just focus on helping customers with their costumes when they came to her for aid. Sweetie Belle had a delightful idea of dressing up as an underwater princess this year, which she’d taken to helping the smaller unicorn as best she was able. “Well, darling, I imagine your idea to go as a ‘sexy cop’ will surely earn some attention. What drove you to that idea anyway? I would have pegged you more for a, how would you say, athletic themed costume.” Rarity questioned. “I dunno. Some guys go for that kinky idea of a slutty cop. And handcuffs can be fun!” Rainbow replied. “Besides, that’s what we big ponies get to do, instead of getting all kinds of candy, I’ll be collecting just nice, thick lollipops.” The mare’s devious grin made the unicorn feel a touch of pity for whomever she got her paws on tonight. She usually wasn’t one to discuss such...matters, but Rainbow had a point. Many an adult pony could enjoy themselves in an adult fashion on Nightmare Night, away from the juveniles and innocents of the holiday. “What about you, Rarity? Got any plans yourself?” Rainbow’s question drew the unicorn’s attention back to the pegasus. “Hm? Oh, honestly Rainbow. I’ve been so preoccupied with putting together costumes for Sweetie Belle and her friends, as well as working the boutique, that I’ve made no real plans for myself this year. Probably for the best; with this much of a business surge, I’m sure to make quite the profit by the year’s end.” Rarity answered. Rainbow scoffed and shook her head. “Blech. Work, work, work. If you’re not careful, Rarity, you’ll be running a haunted house before long.” Her tease made the unicorn’s eyebrow raise in confusion. “Beg pardon?” Rainbow smirked. “All those cobwebs between your legs would make anypony wonder just how haunted those hallways are of yours, don’tcha think?” Rarity felt her cheeks redden, but didn’t back down from the pegasus’ taunting. “If you’re trying to insinuate I can’t…entertain a stallion, I’ll have you know you’re dead wrong, Rainbow Dash! When I put my effort into it, there’s not a pair of eyes in sight that don’t stop to take in my visage!” Rainbow kept her smirk, but leaned across their shared table, staring into Rarity’s eyes. “Then let’s make a bet on it. The challenge is having the best night possible. The mare with the better experience, wins the challenge.” The fashionista was not one to back down when challenged, least of all by somepony as brash as Rainbow. “Very well then. Suppose I win. I think a fitting reward would be you agreeing to be my model for my catalogue this winter.” Rainbow paused, but schooled her features into a confident smile. “And if I win, you’ll be buying me a double share of Applejack’s ciders she’ll be selling. And none of that ‘leftover’ junk either. I’m talking prime quality cider here!” Rarity stood up and extended her hand out to the pegasus, who took it and squeezed a moment later. “Then you have your challenge, Rainbow Dash. May the best mare win.” Rarity declared. “Which, of course, will be me.” “In your dreams!” Rainbow countered, pulling her hand back before raising her arms to stretch, her wings arching behind her to flex as she did. “I’ll see you around then, Rarity. Better make sure you dust up! Wouldn’t want to hear some poor stallion getting lost in the catacombs~!” she taunted before turning away. Rarity waited until the pegasus was out of sight to leave the table, paying her due amount and making a beeline for her home and base of operations. Rainbow may have been crude, but she gave a fair point to the unicorn: it had been some time since she had company of a mature persuasion. She really had gone without for awhile, making her see this as a prime chance for a little indulgence for herself. Rainbow might think that being a little slutty and showing some skin is enough to win the day, but Rarity was not a mare without her own prowess. “She thinks she knows better than I do. Hah!” Rarity scoffed as she arrived at the Carousel Boutique. “I’ll show that little pixie what a real mare can do.” Nightmare Night - 11:00 pm Ponyville was decked out in its typical Nightmare Night attire and decorations. Every stand and shop had some manner of cobwebs or pumpkins dotted around its area, plastic bats hanging from the rafters to sway in the chilly evening wind. Here and there, ducking from one building to another, throngs of young colts and fillies were going from house to house, eager to fill their buckets of candy in offering to the patron of the holiday, Nightmare Moon. Their parents were right behind them, some decked in outfits themselves to get into the spirit of things. It seemed all of Ponyville was quite into the spirit of the holiday, for the most part. For a pegasus like Thunderlane, Nightmare Night was usually a gamble on whether it’d be fun or boring. Not to say he’s never enjoyed a Nightmare Night at all, far from it. He relished as a kid getting to gorge on candy and having an excuse to be out at night instead of in bed. Growing up, that evolved into goofing off with other teens his age, as well as looking after his little brother Rumble as he enjoyed the holiday as well. He was glad the small grey pegasus was having fun with the holiday like he had when he was the youth’s age. But tonight was shaping up to be a pretty dull one. Rumble was old enough now to do things on his own, without him babysitting the little guy. So when Thunder had gone on his own to find his own entertainment, he was disappointed to find that every person he called up was occupied or out with their siblings or family. He thought to try and hit up some of the local bars to see if maybe he could try his luck, but there wasn’t much to work with even after three attempts. He looked down at his Wonderbolts parody costume (wearing the real deal even for this holiday would land him in a bit of trouble) and wondered if that was what was dampening his luck. He sighed and ran a hand through his grey-white mohawk of hair. “Man, maybe tonight’s just not my night. My luck’s strung out.” “Then perhaps you need some assistance?” The sultry tone came from behind the pegasus, who turned about to face the newcomer. His eyes widened as he took in the costumed mare before him. She looked to have stepped out from the shadows of the alley he’d just passed, but let his thoughts focus more in drinking in her appearance. She was around his height, watching him with blue eyes that fluttered as she approached. Her purple eyeshadow brought out the color of her eyes, while her long locks of purple violet hair fell past her shoulders to the small of her back. Full, sumptuous lips were curled in a playful smile, enhanced by the touch of dark red lipstick covering them. Her costume was tight on her white-coated figure, his eyes trailing down from her face to her slender neck where a black choker circled around it. Her arms were covered in a thin-looking black material, coming up to her forearms but leaving her shoulders bare. Her front was bare save for a strip of cloth that covered over her impressive chest, the firm breasts pressing against the cloth while her belly was left bare. Traveling down further, Thunderlane blushed as he could make out the outline of the mare’s panties through the soft, sheer material that was her leggings. She wasn’t indecent by any means, yet he felt drawn to the supple, shapely legs she stood on. “My eyes are up here, dearie.” Her voice beckoned his attention upwards again, and Thunderlane felt himself flush at the pleased stare looking back at him. It was then that he connected the face with a more familiar, and usually more refined persona. “R-Rarity? Holy...you look awesome!” He praised, evoking a giggle from the seductress before him. He noticed a makeshift pair of batwings at her sides, above her hips, likely sewn onto the back of her upper cover somehow. She always was a genius at making such items work for her. “Thank you, Thunder. And what’s a strapping Wonderbolt doing, wandering alone out here?” She asked, coming closer to him. He could smell a soft fragrance in the air, a perfume that was strong, but carried a sweet quality that was alluring to the pegasus. Rarity stopped in front of him, poking a finger into his firm chest. “Surely you’ve not been left to your own self on this night?” “Afraid so, Rarity. Rumble’s off on his own little candy hunt, with some of the other kids. The rest of my buds are either on babysitting duty, or off on their own adventure.” He told her. “So nopony to claim you away, hm? Such a shame.” Rarity remarked. Her gaze fell to his neck, where the suit allowed a peek of his grey fur to be seen. “But then again, that opens plenty of room for...opportunity.” Her voice seemed to purr in Thunderlane’s ears, and he felt his cheeks warm as her finger dragged along his chest. “O-opportunity?” He repeated, evoking a nod from the sultry mare before him. Leaning up, the tempting seductress pressed her soft bosom against his chest as she whispered in his ear. “I’ve been seeking somepony out to perhaps bring some...entertainment, to my evening. Perhaps you can offer it, my dear Thunderlane?” She questioned. Her breath tickled at his ear, the honeyed voice promising his imagination various ideas involving him and the purple-maned mare in many positions. Seeing she had his attention, Rarity continued. “I’ll be waiting at my place. Sweetie will be out for the entire evening, courtesy of her friends and mine. Plenty of open space to make our own thrilling evening.” She said, giving his ear the lightest of kisses before pulling away from him and walking onwards. Her tail gave a parting flick against his side, the hairs dragging against him before letting him go as he watched her. Thunderlane’s eyes fixed on the departing mare’s backside, the material clinging to her curves and outlining the thick, soft looking rear that gave a bounce with each step she took. “...like I’m passing that up.” He muttered to himself before going after Rarity, knowing the path leading to Carousel Boutique. Thunderlane reasoned that Rarity must have teleported herself to cut on time traveling, as he saw no sign of her ahead of him when he made his way to her place. The Boutique itself looked closed, as no lights shined in the windows or on the front step. Reasoning that Rarity wanted to make others believe she wasn’t there, Thunderlane came to the door and knocked twice, listening for a response inside. The door opened of its own accord, and Thunderlane stepped back before slipping into the building as the door shut behind him. “Rarity?” He called, giving a light jump as he heard the door latch lock itself in place. The room was darkened save for Luna’s moon shining in from the window, offering some illumination but leaving him otherwise blind. “Really hope this isn’t some kind of prank.” He muttered to himself. “Oh, this is no joke, my dear Thunderlane.” Rarity’s voice came from across the room, to his right. He turned and watched as a shape moved in the shadows, settling still before a light blue magical aura sparked to life. Candles suddenly came alight, adding a warm glow to the open room and revealing Rarity’s presence. The unicorn was lounging on her side, posed on her side with her legs curled behind her as she watched him. The orange glow of the candles only allowed enough illumination to see Rarity on her sofa, the rest of the boutique left to sit in the darkness of the night. He didn’t miss the hungry look in her eyes as she observed him, and walked towards the waiting mare. “Playing up the spooky theme, huh? It works.” He said as he approached. Rarity just watched him, her tail flicking in a lazy fashion over the end of her sofa. “I find a little atmosphere always helps on nights like these.” The unicorn replied, lifting herself up to prop her torso with her arm as her right arm rested on her hip, hand perched on the curve of her rump as she stared at him. “When one looks to spice up their night with a little...adult, fun.” Thunderlane let a grin play on his lips, as Rarity’s words reassured him he wasn’t being led on. “Well, I can’t think of anypony better to help have some fun. You’re one of the most beautiful mares in town, you know.” Basking in his appraisal, Rarity rose from her seat and stood in front of him again. This time, when she laid her hands on his shoulders, the stallion’s own hands came to rest on her hips, giving a light squeeze of her flesh beneath the sheer material she wore. “Don’t worry, Thunderlane. I don’t bite. Much.” She murmured before claiming his lips in a passionate kiss, one the pegasus was all too happy to return. The feeling of her soft lips excited Thunder, having gone without any action in some time himself. The hungry way she claimed him was echoed in her hands as they grabbed at his shoulders, then the back of his neck to keep him in place as she deepened the kiss. He could feel her tongue slither against his lips, seeking entrance, and he parted his own to greet her in kind. The wet muscle was quick, darting into his maw and eager in finding his own tongue waiting for her. The unicorn moaned, wanting more that he was glad to give as his hands moved down to squeeze her rump firmly, kneading her cheeks. Rarity pulled back and licked her lips, her lipstick yet to even begin to smudge despite their passionate kiss. Removing her hands from his neck, she instead moved to the zipper that ran up the length of his suit, and began to tug it down to reveal the limber, toned body beneath it. Thunderlane kept still, moving only his arms to free himself from the upper part of the suit. Because it was still akin to the actual thing, he had little else beneath it save a pair of boxers, revealed once she’d tugged the suit down enough. “You know, Thunderlane, there’s a name for what I’m dressed up as. Can you guess what it is?” Rarity asked. Her hands moved his boxers down with ease, revealing his waiting sheath and hanging ballsack. He was already loose from his sheath, eagerness bringing blood to his length as she worked him up. His scent washed over her senses, making her cheeks darken as she gazed up at him from her now kneeling spot before him, her hand cradling his balls. “I-Is it...a succubus?” He tried, earning a smirk from the unicorn. “Correct. And a fun little fact about succubi,” she purred as she leaned in to nuzzle his rising member, “...we love to drink from our partners.” With that, she began to lick at his cock, letting her saliva run freely to wet his length as she worked him. The droplets ran down his base to his crotch, more of his musky scent coming to her as she went, trailing up to the tip where her tongue swirled around in a practiced circle, tasting him as he moaned above her. Rarity grinned to herself as his hand wove itself into her locks of hair, a silent request for more as she continued to dote on his tip with kisses and flicks of her tongue. There was an arousing quality to feeling a man ask more of her, to want more of her. Already, she was growing wet down below, her lips already eager for him to claim her. But she would be in control of this encounter, this time. She was going to make sure Thunderlane remembered this, a generous gift of herself for both of their evening’s entertainment. Opening her lips wide, she let his unflared tip fall upon her waiting tongue, casting her lidded gaze up to him while her hot breath washed over him. When she felt him tremble, she closed her lips around him, and quickly sank the first few inches into her maw. “Holy shit.” Thunderlane cursed as he felt Rarity service him, tongue lavishing him with slow, worshipful licks as she moved her head back and forth on him. He was fully hard, his pulse light but present in his member as she blew him. Her hands were not idle, one at his base and pumping up and down in tandem with her head while the other kneaded his balls, leaving no part of him untouched. It’d been so long since he’d last had anypony touch him like this - Cloudchaser? Blossomforth? - that Rarity’s efforts were divine. The unicorn turned her head to the right, and took the stallion deeper yet, reaching the middle of his rigid cock and moaning at the taste that greeted her. He was so much a male, that she could feel herself becoming lightheaded the more she got to taste of him. It’d been too long to go without somepony’s company, and he was fulfilling the charge she’d given him very well. Her cheeks caved as she sucked hard, pulling back slow to let him feel that delightful friction as her lips pulled back to the tip, then as she sank back down to the middle once more, his cries of want music in her ears. If he thought this was all she had, he was in for a surprise. Thunderlane breathed deep as he kept himself from bucking his hips. He didn’t want to hurt the woman before him, but damn if she didn’t make him want more of her. Rarity’s wet lips and mouth moved back up to the tip, slow and steady, and she paused there which made him look down. It proved to be her signal, for when her eyes met his, she suddenly plunged down to the base, her hand leaving it so only her sensual mouth would occupy it. The sudden engulfing feeling of wetness and her writhing tongue circling him made Thunderlane groan, and his hips gave a buck, causing the mare as well to moan while her tail flicked behind her. A gag reflex was something Rarity had learned to do away with some time ago, a practiced talent she found rewarding her with the satisfying feeling of Thunderlane’s cock pulsing in her throat. She could feel him trembling, his flare forming in her throat, and knew he was close from the way his hips were itching to buck forward and claim her. A gentle hand press by her to his stomach kept him still, however; this was her moment, she was the one in control. The unicorn dragged her lips back, her red lipstick smearing on his member as a mark of her presence, and stopping when she reached the middle before plunging down again. Back and forth, repeated bobs of her head inched Thunderlane closer to his climax, his musk now immersed in her senses in both taste and smell. Rarity's lips stayed tight around the width of Thunderlane's girth, wet slurping noises emanating from her actions as she continued to deepthroat the needing stallion. His grip in her mane was fixed, but he didn't try to push her. He seemed to enjoy letting her stay in control, his arousal entirely at her command. Rarity rewarded such a gesture with a lustful one of her own, burying his length entirely in her throat as she nuzzled his crotch. The musk of his groin flooded over her, his balls resting against her chin, and she gave a whorish moan as she stayed but a moment before withdrawing, resuming her back and forth motion now to draw out his climax all the more. Her free hand rubbed at the front of her crotch, the material offering little resistance to her prodding of her own wet marehood. A few more seconds more was all Thunderlane could take, as with one last bob of her head, the pegasus groaned again, louder, as his flare swelled and began to spew shots of thick seed into Rarity’s throat. The unicorn was ready, and started swallowing with each burst that flooded her maw. Withdrawing to give her more room, breathing in through her nose, Rarity allowed herself a taste of his essence as it filled her mouth, swishing it around with her tongue and giving another deep moan at the feeling of the salty, if bitter essence running along her tongue. As it tapered off, she slurped and sucked at the tip, letting the last few drops fall in her maw before letting go of his cock. “H-holy...fucking Tartarus, Rarity.” He gasped above her as he beheld the mare knelt before him. Thunderlane only watched as Rarity cleaned his cock of any excess cum, pink tongue flicking left and right before she opened her mouth for him to see the seed pooled within it. Cheeks red and eyes ablaze with sexual confidence, the mare swallowed it down, letting him witness her drinking his essence. The sight was enough to make Thunderlane’s cock throb, the half-hardened length swaying but not retreating to his sheath just yet. “You’re amazing.” “Just the first course, darling. I’m hardly done with you just yet.” She purred. Running a thumb along her lips, the mare stood up and reached behind her with her other hand. A simple unfastening of a knot at the shoulders undid her top, allowing her to raise her arms up as the sheer material slid off of her and left her bare bosom exposed. The full breasts were large, enough to overflow in Thunderlane’s hand and capped with pink buds waiting for him to claim. Their weight made them sag just a touch on her chest, but only enough to show they were the genuine article, and not a result of magical surgery. Rarity’s horn glowed, and the leggings were removed as well, along with her damp panties. Thunderlane stared in awe of Rarity’s presence as she flaunted herself for him, seeming to bask in his unrestrained ogling of her exposed beauty. His cock echoed his appreciation, rising up once more and ready to claim her. Biting her lip, Rarity swiveled in place before swaying to her nearby sofa, her gait making her ass cheeks bounce with each step. A cocked finger waved Thunderlane to follow, and so he did, unabashed as he too was as naked as she was now. Rarity knelt on the sofa, resting her front against the backrest as she watched him over her shoulder. Smoldering blue eyes peered past her wild locks of purple at him as her hand reached back and tugged at her butt cheek, exposing the wet and waiting marehood calling to him. “Now be a dear, Thunderlane, and give this mare the rutting she wants.” Rarity beckoned. He needed little other urging, as he stepped forward. His hands reached for the mare’s delicious looking rear, squeezing it with his fingers and eliciting a groan of want from the needy unicorn. Her elegant, long tail patted against his chest, flagged high so he was unobscured in seeing her wet nethers flex in want for him. Aligning his cock to her entrance, Thunderlane sank in with ease, her soaked folds welcoming him and seeming to suck him in as he pushed further. He let his moan rumble in his throat, and kept going until he was hilted inside of her. Once he was, the pegasus leaned down, his chest pressing into her back as he whispered into her ear. “You’re such a wanting slut, Rarity. It’s sexy as hell.” He murmured, making Rarity mewl as he withdrew his hips before slamming back in again, adopting a hard pace to begin with that knocked the air from the unicorn’s lungs. Thunderlane’s hands found a brace in groping for the fashionista’s breasts as he rammed into her, loud slaps of flesh filling the empty room as they went. “Fuck, so tight too!” Thunder growled out as she clenched around him. “Yes! Yes, gods, yes! Stars and Suns, Thunder, rut me! Rut your little slut!” She wailed, relishing his pace as he claimed her. This was what she’d been hoping for, especially in seeking out Thunderlane specifically. Everypony fucked a little differently, this she knew, but Thunderlane’s style was one of her favorites. Hard, fast, with relentless intensity as his cock plunged in and out of her depths. His fingers were kneading her breasts with every few thrusts he gave, renewing his grip as well as stimulating her further as his roughened palms would rub against her nipples. Thunderlane’s head found purchase in the crook of her neck, engulfing him in the sea of her mane as her scent and the smell of their sex washed over them. It drove him to buck faster, his rhythm shifting to a jackhammer pace that left Rarity’s senses reeling. It wasn’t lovemaking she wanted most, no, not from Thunderlane; this carnal lust, the sensual desire to give in to her tempting form was her goal. He was fulfilling that want at every turn, wet “schlick”s coming from their joined crotches every time he plunged deep into her. Rarity turned her head, meeting his lips in a needful kiss that he returned as their tongues greeted each other once more. Thunderlane’s hand left one of her breasts to steady himself instead by grabbing for her hand on the sofa, weaving his fingers between hers as he continued his relentless pounding. The unicorn’s body felt ablaze with pleasure, heat flush in her cheeks as she mewled into his maw. She could tell he was relishing it as much as she was, giving her all he could to fulfill her charge. Wanting even more, the unicorn bucked her hips back into his motions, causing him to groan as he’d reach his base each time she moved back with him. Being surrounded by such a tight, wet tunnel of heat was pulling on every sense of Thunderlane’s resistance. Even with the earlier climax, Rarity was making for one heck of a Nightmare Night to remember. She was clenching around him at every second, each inch of his cock squeezed and milked by her wanting marehood. Her clit was winking against him every few passes, rising in number as their rough pace pressed on. It wasn’t a race, this time; they were both basking in the sexual bliss of the other’s company. Rarity pulled out of the kiss to moan after a few more thrusts, and whispered to Thunderlane. “That’s it. Rut me, Thunder. Rut this naughty slut’s pussy. You want it, don’t you? Don’t you want me?” “Fuck...yes…” He gasped out between thrusts, finding it harder to communicate as he focused on bucking into her. “You’re such a slut, Rarity. Flaunting your...fucking hot bod to me. Fuck, I want you!” “Claim me, Thunder! Take this whore of a mare and make her yours! Oh, your cock’s so good. So good!” she whimpered as his pace renewed to a faster speed, hips a blur as he worked her over. Rarity let her tongue fall from her lips as she moaned without restraint. The knot in her groin was growing, fueled by the flaring cock she could feel swelling inside her. “Oh yes. Are you going to cum, Thunder? Are you going to seed my naughty pussy?” “Yes...yes...fuck, fuck fuck fuck!” Thunderlane gasped out as he felt himself getting close to finishing. “Rarity, fuck, I can’t!” “Give it to me, darling! Give me that fucking cock! Give me all of it!” She demanded, bucking her hips back against him to keep him going as he faltered. Only a few more thrusts were allowed before Thunderlane’s body gave, and he tensed up as his second climax washed over him and fired into Rarity’s waiting depths. It was just enough, the sudden blossoming surge of heat within her marehood, that tipped Rarity to orgasm as well. Her shrill scream filled the Boutique, as her juices squirted past the tight seal her pussy made around Thunderlane’s cock. Shot after shot of his cum filled her, painting her walls white as he clung to her curvy form. Thunderlane was left to gasp for air as he laid against Rarity, the mare keeping them upright for the moment as he tried to regain his senses. It felt like all of him went into that climax, one worth remembering for tonight. He felt sweat drip down his back, his wings lowering from their strained, extended state as his body came down from the orgasmic rush. He began to withdraw, a wet sound coming from his groin as he moved, only to be stopped by a pressure at his back. He looked behind him to see a mass of light blue magic keeping him there, making him look to Rarity in front of him. “Oh, no, Thunderlane. I’m not done with you yet.” Rarity said. Her gaze was burning as she squeezed the length of him still within her, eliciting a moan from Thunderlane while she continued. “Momma wants more~...” “...w-what?” Rainbow Dash pouted as she waited for Rarity at the cafe they had met at yesterday. Nightmare Night had not gone as well as she had planned for; her cop outfit had been spot on, but apparently, nopony wanted to go for the slutty cop! It baffled her to think that every male she ran into kept thinking she was a real police pony, and not The Rainbow Dash in costume! A couple of ponies even came to her thinking she was a real police pony and asked if they’d escort them and their kids home safely! “There you are, darling!” “Oh, ponyfeathers.” Rainbow cursed under her breath before turning to look as Rarity approached. The mare was in one of her newer fashion dresses, a frilly number of blue and white that had a skirt which blew about her legs in the light wind. There seemed to be a new energy about Rarity, making Rainbow stare at her as she moved to her seat opposite the pegasus. “Alright, so...about that bet…” she started, only for Rarity to giggle. “Whats the matter, dear? Did nopony take on your ‘sexy cop’ routine well?” Rarity asked, resting her chin on steepled fingers. “...next time, I’m going as a cheerleader. Or something.” Rainbow muttered, making the unicorn giggle across from her. “And you?” Rarity smiled, and cast a glance out at the walking road nearby. Rainbow followed her gaze, and raised an eyebrow as she watched Thunderlane pause in the middle of the street while looking at the two of them. Actually, he was looking at Rarity, and seemed to blush before walking away. Or rather limp away, from his odd walk. “Oh...you could say it was an interesting night to clear some cobwebs.”
