Twilight kept losing herself in her thought while she made her way to the Carousel Boutique.
What do I even say? She’s probably going to ask questions I don’t have any answers to! Is there a book on romance? Have I already read one and forgotten about it?
Twilight suddenly noticed she was at her destination and saw a closed sign hanging in the window. Twilight tried to go in, only to be met with a locked door.
“Rarity! It’s Twilight, can I come in and talk?” Twilight waited patiently for a response... nothing. “Rarity! Are you in there?” Twilight put her ear up to the door and could hear sobbing coming from a distance. “Something tells she can’t hear me,” Twilight said to herself out loud, the purple alicorn’s horn glowed and within a split second, she was on the other side of the door. “I hope she doesn’t mind,” Twilight said, feeling rude about just teleporting in. As she approached Rarity’s bedroom door, the sobbing got louder and louder. Twilight was hesitant to knock, but eventually did. “Rarity! It’s Twilight!”
“Twilight!? How did you get in? I locked the doors!” Rarity said through her sobs, shocked.
“I heard what happened, came to talk to you, and could hear you sobbing, so I teleported in, sorry, but I was worried,” Twilight explained. The white unicorn wiped her eyes, went over to the door, and opened it. Rarity’s appearance shocked Twilight, her mane was a mess, she had two thick black lines from her eyes to both sides of her chin because of her mascara running, and there were three empty ice cream tubs on the floor near her bed and a half-eaten tub with a spoon in it on her bed. Rarity said nothing and just went back to her bed and led down. Twilight walked into the bedroom and sat on the end of Rarity’s bed. There was a moment of silence before one of them spoke.
“So...” Rarity said, breaking the silence. “You heard what happened?” Rarity asked, trying not to cry again. Twilight sighed.
“Yeah, they both came to the castle and told me, I’m so sorry Rarity,” Twilight hung her head.
“How could he do this to me?”, Rarity asked, getting angry.
“Rarity, he did nothing, he just fell in love with somepony else,” Twilight tried to explain.
“Exactly! After everything I’ve done for him!”, Twilight was slightly confused.
“What you’ve done for him?” Rarity sat up.
“What are you suggesting, Twilight? That I have done nothing for Spike?” Rarity asked, offended.
“Oh, no, you have definitely done lots of things for Spike, but what about everything he has done for you?” Rarity wasn’t happy.
“What? Like going off with another mare? Whose side are you on?” Rarity led back down in a huff.
“I’m not on anyone’s side, Rarity, I’m just saying, Spike has done a lot for you in the past four years, giving you advice on the work, being a pincushion, he even helped you collected gems and didn’t eat any,” The face that all Rarity thought about was what Spike has done recently and not how he’s acted towards her in the past, frustrated Twilight. Rarity quickly sat up.
“He offered to do those things! I never made him do anything he didn’t want to do! Plus, I always gave him one gem after we finished collecting!” Rarity spoke louder than usual. She was getting really frustrated with Twilight.
“I know, I’m not saying you’re selfish, quite the opposite in fact”, Twilight said calmly, her tone seemed to calm down Rarity, noticing this Twilight took a deep breath. “Would you consider coming over and talking to him?” Rarity looked down and was fidgeting with her duvet. After a moment of silence, she looked up at Twilight and nodded. Twilight gave Rarity a warm smile.
“Is Luna still there as well?”, Rarity asked. Twilight didn’t want to answer, but she knew she had to.
“Yes, Luna is still, but I can ask her if she wouldn’t min---“
“No need, I was hoping she would still be there so I can apologise.” Twilight was relieved to hear Rarity was okay with Luna being there. Rarity got up from her bed. “Right, let me get myself ready and I’ll be over within the next fifteen minutes.” Twilight got up from Rarity's bed.
“Okay, Rarity I’ll see you in a bit”, Twilight made her way to the door, tried to open it, and then remembered about the doors being locked, Twilight was about to call Rarity, but decided to just teleport out instead and let Rarity get ready.
