Rarity smiled as the doors to the castle opened, and Twilight was eagerly grinning. "Rarity! Just the pony I was expecting to see!"
"Even though I saw you just yesterday, It's so good to see you darling! " The Fashionista waltzed inside, hugging Twilight. "How have you been? How's Spikey-Wikey?"
The Alicorn shrugged. "Same old, Same old." She pouted tiredly. "He ate too much ice cream again and got a bellyache."
"Oh, goodness, poor little thing." Rarity whined as she was led to the main room, where the Cutie Map would lay in wait for her. "Do tell him that I hope he gets better soon."
"Will do! Now," Her friend pushed open the doors, eyes trained on the map instantly. "About the Cutie Map. It's a bit...weird this time."
"Weird?" Rarity tilted her head and trotted up to the table, looking for her signature diamonds. "Weird how?"
"Well, for one," Twilight pointed at a specific area of the map. Rarity gasped when she realized that her cutie mark was floating above Ponyville, of all places. Whatever the friendship problem was, it seemed that it was in their little town. "It seems like your friendship problem has come to you."
"I see," The unicorn curiously inspected the space around her mark. She sat up in curious worry. "Um, who's my partner this time?"
Twilight shook her head. "That's the other weird thing! You have no partner for this problem, Rarity. I contacted the others, and no pony else's cutie marks are glowing."
The mare tapped her chin, smiling softly. "So perhaps this problem is so easy, that it only needs me to solve it!"
"Meh, Maybe."
"Well, I'm going to handle this all tommorow. I had to wait hours in line just so my little sister could look like a tiger," Rarity walked away with a tired sigh. "And I had to deal with a rude stallion."
"Rude stallion?" Twilight asked.
"Yes. He's new to Ponyville and...perhaps blind." Rarity explained unhappily. "When I tried to be just the slightest bit nice to him, he rebuffed me and insulted my perfume."
Twilight smirked at her, not that she could see it while she was walking away. "Hmm. That sounds like a friendship problem if there ever was one."
The alabaster unicorn froze, eyes widening in brief terror. She shuddered to herself. "Ugh, no. The last thing I want is cross paths with that jerk again!"
