"Stardust..."
Mmm...
"Starduuuuuust..."
Ugh... "Five more minutes, Twilight..."
A tender giggle greeting my waking ears. "Oh darling, you would wish it was Twilight being the one, wouldn't you?" Mmm...? "Now, kindly get up Stardust, you're leaving fur all over my favourite couch."
Couch... That explained the numb feeling on the right side of my form.
Sighing mixed with a yawn, I blinked bleary eyes to be greeted by sapphire orbs watching me expectantly from the side of the velvet, ridiculous comfortable couch. The memories of last night sinking through as I slowly but surely got up. That's right, I crashed at Rarity's place while she was working on my clothes, which was awfully nice of her.
Bearer of Generosity indeed. The white unicorn happily trotting over to where my fully renewed attire waited while I managed to sit up properly, yawning loud into my gold hoof and brushing disheveled brown locks, as Rarity was happy to announce her work complete.
"Voila, and in addition to a good morning, I've also prepared a nice, healthy breakfast for yourself; Spike was all too happy to provide what usual first meal Twilight preferred you having first thing." Rarity's smile lowered a tad, once finally noticing my rather messy mane. "Well, I suppose a shower would be the first appropriate thing, following with your nutritious breakfast and trying out your newly improved clothing."
Was I marrying Twilight, or you...? Regardless, I smiled in tired humour and nodded, knowing better than to object pointlessly. Oblivious to Rarity hearing that joking thought before hearing her loud gasp in realization.
"Oh yes, that reminds me!" What now? I blinked, tilting my head over to the hopeful, grinning fashionista. An expression I was immediately on guard with, and I hadn't even drank my morning water yet. "You're not too busy today, I hope? Fortunately my schedule has enough open time considering all my work completed yesterday."
I had a bad feeling about this. Alarm bells were screaming for me to hurry to the bathroom and pray that Rarity's plan, whatever it was, would be forgotten after I was finished.
But in this situation, I slowly shook my head, answering regardless in payment for every nice thing the unicorn has done for me up to now since yesterday. "Erm, not really. Twilight's still expecting me to at least hang out with my friends each for a whole day... So... Oh."
No wonder Twilight seemed fine with me spending the night here. And somehow, I doubted very much that made my current predicament here any better. If the rising glee in Rarity's bright heart was anything to go by.
"Oh splendid!" Matter of opinion, depending where the fashion star was going with this. White soft hoofs tugging at my front golden limb, gesturing for me to keep going to the next room. "Second door left down the hall. After you're finished, then we shall discuss a matter of grave urgency which has been neglected for too long!"
Coming this week.
