It was a needlessly poetic gesture, but Rarity positioned herself so that the tear would fall on Sweetie Belle.

“I love you, little sister. Be good, and I promise to join you soon.”

The night after Rarity buys a dead soul gem, something deep inside it sparkles to life. The next day, a pony is taken somewhere grey to await their death because of her selfishness. With the help of the mysterious rock, she enters a world of reflections to save the one she loves the most.

So begins Rarity’s fantastic journey.

A short word about the revision. These are a few notes about the old one and why I took a drastic change of direction.

Trixie was ran out of Ponyville, and there began her great fall from grace.

When she became the laughing stock of all Equestria and lived in fear of cruel ponies, she couldn't imagine how life could get any worse.

When she first arrived at the Pie's rock farm, she was a self-hating cynic without a bit or friend to her name.

But, when she left that fateful farm, she did so knowing that, no matter what, she was the luckiest mare alive.

Even though it never got easier for Trixie, what happened on that rock farm stayed in her heart forever.

But who could realistically steal the diary of a princess?

Twilight froze as a fleeting thought seeded itself in her mind.

"Were wars fought over you...?" she whispered darkly.

When Twilight finds an unusual diary belonging to a pony only known as "Stella", she goes on a fantastic journey to save the souls of those written in its pages from a fate worse than death.

Rarity invites Fluttershy to the spa and as they settle themselves in for a relaxing afternoon, Rarity's mind begins to wander.

The image inspired it.

What happens afterwards is the product of unrequited emotions as way too many ponies get caught up in the unicorn's passion play.

Rated T for shameless shipping and heavy implication. Also there is A Goofy Movie reference.

Luna had been trapped away for almost 1000 years and her mind had been shattered. A broken shadow of what she once was, Celestia watched her sister with sorrow, unable to reach out for her. Despite her care for her sister, she saw signs of the return of Nightmare Moon and knew she needed to prepare for the worst.

With a painstaking attention to canon, this prequel tells the stories of Celestia's search for the Elements of Harmony and of Luna as she attempts to escape from the moon with the help of the stars.

Thanks to *Equestria-Prevails* for letting me use their imagining of Concordia and Princess Rosetta. Sorry if I deviated a bit from the description.
