Rarity was trotting towards Twilight’s castle to ask for Spike to help her dig some gems. The scream she heard yesterday ruined a perfectly fine dress that was almost completed, and she ran out of materials.
Still the voice sounded familiar to her, but it was too loud to figure out.
When she got there she knocked at the door elegantly…
Yes, I don’t get it either.
Rarity heard some noises inside the closed doors.
‘Hmm, that sounds like… things getting tossed?’
That was when the doors opened and a bandaged Twilight got out and quickly closed the door, moments later stuff hitting the door could be heard.
Rarity gasped, Twilight had bandages on her left fore hoof, on her right wing and on her forehead. “Twilight darling, what happened to you?”
“Well I had a emm… kind of an accident, yes that’s it!” she said in a rush while using her magic to keep the door shut.
“What kind of accident? It looks serious.”
The two winced at something hitting the door with force.
Twilight put a nervous smile, “nothing serious Rarity, what brings you here?”
The door kept getting hit by something.
“Twilight,” Rarity addressed her, “What’s happening in there?”
“You worry not Rarity, is nothing I can’t handle.” Twilight started to sweat.
“That’s not what I asked, darling.” Rarity said while giving Twilight a deadpan look.
“Flan, please stop.” They heard Spike’s voice behind the door, suddenly the strikes at the door stopped. “Come on Flan, let’s get some breakfast.”
Twilight let out a sigh of relief, but she still had to deal with Rarity.
“It seems that some explaining is needed, Twilight.” Rarity raised an eye-brow. “So, who is this, Flan? Darling.”
Giving up to her fate… ‘Wait a second… fate?’
‘I manipulated fate to avoid any uncomfortable encounters.’ She remembered that vague explanation.
‘What if… this is Remilia’s doing…’ She thought.
“Twilight? Twilight, are you ok? Dear.” Rarity asked after seeing her friend spacing out.
“Oh,” Twilight noticed this and shook her head to clear her thoughts. “Sorry about that Rarity, and you see…”
Twilight was currently sulking in her room, because what happened wasn’t what she expected.
After explaining the situation to Rarity, Twilight asked if she could help with Flan, at which Rarity accepted.
Everything was fine and Twilight warned Rarity about Flan’s aggressive behavior.
But what happened when the two met for the first time?
Flan behaved nicely with Rarity! Twilight couldn’t believe what she was seeing.
Flan, the little vampyre that bit her twice and hit her with a thick book on the head, was behaving docile with her friend while still ignoring her at the same time.
Even if Rarity was hesitant at first, she still took a like for the little thing and when she asked Spike if he could help her dig some gems, Flan wanted to go too!
How could this be? What was Twilight doing wrong?
“I don’t understand!!!” she shouted in frustration.
Meanwhile in the mountain, Rarity was using her gem detection spell to signal the spots for Spike to dig the gems.
Flan was just hanging around for a while, but got bored and decided to do something too, so she approached one of the points with gems and blew a hole in the ground to reveal and grab them.
Rarity’s jaw hit the floor, but recovered when saw Flan showing her the gems, she put a smile and pointed at the cart Spike had to carry the gems, “Put them in there, dear.”
Flan returned the smile and went and threw the gems in there, then went to the other marks to get more.
“Spikey, do you know what that was?” Rarity whispered.
“I don’t know, she can’t talk like us, and Twilight didn’t ask anything related to Flan to her big sister for what I heard.” He whispered back.
Flan was too focused on making the ground into Swiss cheese to pay them any mind.
They then saw the gems being tossed perfectly into the cart.
Rarity giggled some, “at least she seems to be enjoying herself.”
“Well, after what happened yesterday, she needed something to distract herself.”
“I still can’t believe Twilight did something like that.” Rarity looked concerned.
“Flan made sure that she doesn’t try to force things on her, she is kind of temperamental.”
Then they saw a couple of big paws grabbing Flan and taking her into the bushes.
“Spikey, were those…” Rarity said shocked.
“Yup, the diamond dogs.” Spike sat down and relaxed some.
“What do you think you are doing Spike? We have to save her from those brutes!”
Spike waved a dismissive claw at her, “I don’t think she needs our help at all, just look.” He said pointing at the bushes.
Rarity was not happy with Spike’s care-free attitude on this situation but complied.
She could see the movement and rumbling noises behind the bush and some groaning, ‘what in Celestia’s sun is happening in there?’ She thought.
Then came the screaming, “GET IT OFF ME!”
*Chomp x5*
The diamond dogs have been broken.
A couple of hours later.
Rarity and Flan were on her boutique, Spike had to go back to the castle after carrying the cart.
“You really got dirty out there, darling.” Rarity said eyeing Flan’s clothes, “do you want to take a bath?”
Flan contemplated the idea for a moment before nodding with a smile.
“The bathroom is the second door to the right in the second floor, you can leave your clothes in the basket, I’ll wash them for you, is the least I can do after you helped me.” Rarity said with a soft expression.
30 minutes later.
Rarity washed Flan’s clothes and put them to dry, and she was making some tea to relax.
She heard the bathroom door opening, “I’m in the kitchen dear!” Rarity called from the kitchen.
Soon enough she saw Flan entering the room wearing a plain white bathrobe that she didn’t remember giving her.
“Where did you get that bathrobe, Flan? Don’t get me wrong, you look totally fabulous, but I didn’t notice you carrying anything else.” She inquired.
Flan just showed Rarity a card.
Rarity rolled her eyes, “of course.”
More minutes later.
“Flan darling, would you like to stay the night here? Since is getting late, your clothes wouldn’t probably dry well, also I wanted to ask you-” Rarity gave Flan a pleading look, “-if you could help me by modeling for a certain design I have in mind for a dress for a friend? You’re a little smaller than her but I can modify the size after, so what do you say?”
Flan just shrugged and sip from her tea.
After that, Rarity spend part of the evening taking measures and trying ideas, you know, standard stuff. When it got late in the night Twilight passed by to check on Flan.
After knocking at the door Twilight hoped to see Rarity, but when it opened she saw Flan in pink pajamas looking not too happy at her.
“Oh h-” then a mannequin hit her and she went flying with it, in the direction of her castle.
Rarity’s mannequin has been broken (Twilight’s body too, but that doesn’t matter).
“I’ll be back!!!” her voice disappeared in the distance.
Flan dusted her hands with a content expression and closed the door.
