"Hello dear!" Rarity's mother exclaimed (imagine a Canadian or Michigander accent like mine :P) "Come give daddy a hug." her father said (again same accent but more masculine) Rarity walked up to her dad trying to hide a guilty look and hugged him, "What are you doing here?" "Oh we just thought that stopping in for a visit was a good idea because we were passing through." "Ah well just go ahead and make yourselves at home, I'll show you to the guest room." During the entire exchange Rainbow just stood and watched Rarity and how scared she was. 'Oh no' she thought, 'She's really freaking out I don't know what to do...' just then Rarity's father spotted her. "Rarity you haven't introduced us to your friend yet." "What oh yes mother, father this is Rainbowdash she's a good friend of mine." Rarity shot a look over to Rainbow which said don't say anything about us. Rainbow got the message and said, "Yeah me and Rarity have been friends for awhile now and I was going to stay the night but now I think I'll just go home." Rarity's mother jumped up at this and said, "Oh no that just won't do we didn't mean to ruin any plans we can just go find a hotel for the night." "Oh I couldn't do that to you guys it would be so rude of me." "No it's rude of to barge in and ruin plans we'll just go and find a hotel for the night." said Rarity's father as he picked up the luggage he had dropped on the floor and before they could protest anymore they were gone. "Well that was almost too awkward." said Rainbow but when she didn't get an answer she looked over at her and saw that she was just staring off after her parents Rainbow walked up to her and put a hoof around her neck. "What's wrong Rar'?" Rarity snapped out of the trance she was in and said in a quiet voice, "My parents hate fillyfoolers and coltcuddlers." "What do you mean?" "Why did you think I was so afraid to tell anypony my parents hate people like us it was how I was raised but I never listened to them always thought it was so dumb of them so does Sweetie Belle but my parents are very intolerant." "So are you saying that if you told your parents that they would hate you?" "Yes! That's exactly what I'm saying I thought everypony was like them too that's why I was so worried." "I guess that explains that but what are we going to do then?" "Oh I don't know...Oh of all the worst possible things that could have happened THIS IS THE WORST POSSIBLE THING!!! she used her infamous "Summon chair" spell and fell into it as she began to sob. Rainbow rolled her eyes and thought, 'What a drama queen' *sigh* she walked up Rarity and held her in a tight hug and cooed, "Don't worry hon' it's going to be okay they aren't going to find out how could they we only told our friends and it's not like it's all over town or anything." Rarity looked up tears still in her eyes and said, "Are you sure? I don't want to know what my parents might do or think." Rainbow smiled comfortingly saying, "Of course I'm sure." these of course turned out to be famous last words so to speak as Rarity's parents burst back into the house looking angry. "Rarity! Where are you?" shouted her father just before he saw the two mares holding each other on the chair. They quickly broke apart and stared at her parents fear in their eyes. "Rarity what is this?" Shouted her father angrily "I...it...well umm" she struggled to find the right words so Rainbow took the initiative and said, "Me and your daughter are dating and we are happy the way we are." her voice carried authority and was firm but it didn't do much to dispel the feelings in the room and Rarity's mother spoke up and shouted "We knew what was going on because of your pink friend we just had to make sure it was true," she turned to Rarity still fuming and said, "What is wrong with you! How could yo do something like this to us I thought we raised you better than that." Rarity's father jumped into the conversation, "Not only that but what about your sister does she know? Because if she doesn't she coming with us and you won't see her again for a long time." Rarity was completely shocked and couldn't find the words she wanted to say so again Rainbow spoke up, "What is wrong with her!? What's wrong with you she's your daughter it shouldn't matter who or what she likes you should still love her no matter what." Rarity's parents turned from their crying daughter and her father began to yell at Rainbow, "This is your fault if it hadn't been for you she wouldn't be like this what have you done to her she was perfect and then you came along and ruined it all." "She chose to be with me I never forced her to do anything and I never would." "That's a lie she'd never date a mare especially one like you!" her mother screamed "A mare like me? What somepony who cares about her and her feelings? How stupid and ignorant are you?" Rarity turned and faced her parents, "What is wrong with you two? Am I not aloud to be happy to live MY life as I choose? And for your information I was born this way it's not a choice and I do love Rainbow and I would date a mare like her she's perfect you two are just ignorant and mean just.....leave oh and Sweetie Belle supports mares like Rainbow and I so just leave her here because she's not going with people like YOU!" she finished her speech and stalked out of the room fuming with tears streaming down her face. Rainbow stood there for a second before throwing one last look after Rarity's parents and she followed her leaving Rarity's parents alone. "Just leave her she's not worth it." "What about Sweetie?" "I don't even know where she is let's just get to Manehatten." They left soon after still angry at their daughter. Rainbow walked into Rarity's room a look of concern on her face. "Hey Rar'..." she said tentatively. Instead of a reply Rarity just buried her face further into her pillow. Instead of trying to talk to her Rainbow just walked up to her laid in the bed snuggled up next to her and buried her muzzle in her neck and they just laid like that till they both drifted off to sleep. A/N That Michigander accent I was talking about sounds like this. We pronounce really hard R's and we don't really pronounce our T's we say 90 like ninedy instead of ninety lol also we don't say y'all we say you guys. Also I'm scraping trying to get an update schedule because #1 I hate organization and order I love chaos (not saying I like discord) and #2 It's kind of annoying writing under a schedule so I'm giving up on that but I will post at least one chapter a week.
