Opening the to to Rarity's, Twilight sees one heck of a scene. Fabric is everywhere, jewels scattered across the floor, then she sees spike holding arm fulls of sewing supplies. Rarity came running across the room. She was in a giant rush.
“Oh thank Celestia your here Twilight, I'm running very behind on an order of dresses. The place is a mess! THEN THE WORST POSSIBLE THING HAPPENED!” said Rarity.
“What is that?” asked Twilight.
“I ran out of onyx crystals for this one dress. I know I have more somewhere, but this place is such a wreck. I could use all the help I could get at the moment.” replied Rarity.
“I'll help organize all the fabric, and jewels. Maybe we will find the other onyx crystals when this place is much more...cleaner.” said Twilight.
“OH THANK YOU!!!” Rarity yelled giving her friend a hug. She ran right back to her sewing machine.
Twilight began working on organizing the fabric. Sorted each one by color, and quality of the fabric. Next came the jewels, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, topaz, all went into their own boxes on shelves. Spike walked over to Twilight with his arm loads of stuff.
“Rarity, what color are onyx jewels suppose to be?” asked Twilight.
“Black. Please tell me you found them.” said Rarity.
“Not yet, but I do know someone who has a large black crystal-like thing, and there are smaller pieces to it,” said Twilight,” I can go see if she will let me have some.”
“Twilight, can you first...” said Spike before Twilight ran out the door. He was losing his grip on all the stuff he was carrying, and collapsed.
“Aww Spike.” said Rarity.
Twilight ran to Adria's wagon. She knocked on the door. She was greeted by her old smile.
“Twilight, back so soon, come in.” said Adria very comforting.
They walked into the wagon, and sat down in the center. Twilight looked at the black stone, it would be perfect for the dress. It was actually shinier than most of the jewels Rarity had too.
“Adira I was wondering if I could use a part of that stone to help my friend finish this one dress she is making. She is really far behind, and we can't find any more onyx crystals and...”
“I'm sorry but I can't.”
“Why is that? Isn't the stone dead?”
“Just because the stone is dead, doesn't mean I can just give pieces away. This stone has historic value. It once contain some the the greatest power in all of creation!”
Twilight was disappointed. The stone is dead, why is she holding on to it, she thought. This put in between a rock and a hard place. Either steal the stone to help her friend Rarity, who she's been friends with for years, or do nothing to help a friend she just met. As Adria went on about the stone,
Twilight backed up slowly to the stone, and used her tail to grab a small piece of the stone. I'm sorry,but Rarity needs my help. I'll just have to put some onyx there when I find some. After all they both look the same, thought Twilight to herself.
“I understand what the stone means to you Adria, I'll stop by again later.” said Twilight
“Thank you for coming by again, you're welcome here anytime.” said Adria.
Twilight left Adira's and went back to Rarity's. She used her magic to hold the piece of the stone in front of her. The piece she got looked like a star. She wasn't sure if the stone could be places as it is, otherwise Rarity can cut it the way she needs it. Opening Rarity's door, she finds that the dress that needed the onyx stone was complete, and all the other dresses were finished too.
“You're done Rarity?” ask Twilight.
“Yep. I found the extra box of onyx crystals I found in Sweete Bell's room, I completed the dress, and after that nightmare was over, the other dresses were much easier to do compared to that one.” said Rarity.
“We'll I got this one crystal over here.” said Twilight lifting the crystal. Upon seeing it Rarity ran over to it, took it from Twilight and began examining it. She has never seen anything like it. It was purely black.
“For your efforts in helping make this place spiffier. I'll make a necklace out of this for you.” said Rarity.
“Thanks Rarity, but I ha-...”
“No, no,no Twilight, I must insist.” said Rarity.
Rarity went right to work on the necklace, she found the stone was uncut-table, so she put it around a sliver border and added the two necklace strings on it. When it was done, she put it on Twilight.
“It looks marvelous!” said Rarity.
“Kinda looks like its in the shape of your cutie mark Twilight.” pointed out Spike.
Twilight looked at the necklace and at her flank, it did was nearly shaped like her mark.
“I should go see how I look when I have my Element tiara on with this necklace,” said Twilight,”Thanks Rarity.”
Twilight and Spike left Rarity's and headed back to the library. After seeing how the necklace looked on her, she forgot that the stone was stolen. She was briskly walking towards the library, when she was stopped by three small fillies. They yelled out for her, and ran over to her. It was no other than the three Cutie Mark Crusaders; Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Bell.
“Wow Twilight, that necklace is really neat.” said Applebloom in excitement.
“My sister probably made the necklace part, but where did you get that stone?” asked Sweetie Bell.
“I can't tell you about where I got the stone,” said Twilight. She felt some guilt. “So where are you girls off to?”
“We are going on a epic camping trip, in the woods.” said Scootaloo assertively.
“Are you sure you three are allow to go in the woods alone,” said Twilight.
“We are big girls Twilight. We can handle ourselves.” replied Applebloom.
“Well you three should be going,” said Twilight.
The three fillies walked away, each one talking about how fun they're going to have in the woods. Now Twilight continued towards the library. She speed up her pace. She look great in her Element tiara, and looks great in the necklace. Now I know how Rarity feels about fashion, she thought. Finally she reaches the front door, and barges right on in. Using her magic, she grabs the book where she keeps her element jewelery. Opens the book to find it sitting right there. Takes it over the mirror. Hovers it over her head, and slowly places it on her head.
“Oooooooooo, I can't wait to see how these look together. I'll be a star at the next Gala! We'll I'll be looking great in any formal event.” said Twilight. She places it on her head, gives a big smile. Then the black stone gave of several red ember glows. Twilight felt her eyelids growing heavy, and fell into a comatose state.
