Rarity sighs as she gets up off of the bench. "Well, I better talk to Pinkie and get her thoughts," Rarity said to herself as she started walking toward Sugarcube Corner.
Once she arrives, Rarity sighs as she enters the door, causing the bell to chime. "Oh, hi, Rarity. Are you here for a cup of coffee and a blueberry muffin?" Pinkie asked, ready to get her the items.
Rarity thought for a moment, it had been a hot minute since she ate. "Sure, though I didn't come here for that, I could go for a quick nosh, would you be so kind as to join me?" Rarity asked as Pinkie brought out two coffees, a blueberry muffin, and a chimicherrychanga.
"I would love to, Rarity," Pinkie said as she set the items down on one of the many tables in the establishment. "So you came here to ask me if the changelings could be befriended?" The pink earth pony asked, causing Rarity's mouth to drop before releasing a slight giggle.
"How on Earth did you know, darling or do I even want to know?" Rarity playfully asked as she sat at the table that Pinkie had parked at, Pinkie was facing her with a Chesire grin, basking in her friend's shocked expression.
"Just a hunch," Pinkie exclaimed as Rarity rolled her eyes with a sly smile.
"Of course," Rarity replied as she picked up her cup of coffee and took a sip. "So do you believe that the changelings can be befriended?" Rarity asked
"Of course I do," Pinkie exclaimed as she dug into her chimicherrychanga in the absence of utensils.
Rarity smiled, she was ecstatic that her assumption was correct, but she wouldn't sleep well if she didn't dig deeper. "So you don't hate them for the invasion or even fear them?" Rarity asked, digging into her muffin.
"Not too much, I fear that they could betray us, but I like to keep an open mind, and no I don't hate them, they're just following the wrong crowd," Pinkie said as she looked up, cherry paste covering her face. "Besides, you can't worry about what-ifs, if you do you miss out on all the good possibilities," Pinkie continued.
Rarity giggled a bit. "I think the same thing," Rarity replied as she picked up a napkin and helped Pinkie wipe her face. "I'm glad you think this way Pinkie, Sweetie Belle has been so scared that they could come back, so I thought I'd put the idea of making friends with them" Rarity continued.
"Awwwwwww, that's sweet of you to try and comfort her like that," Pinkie cooed as she downed her coffee. "So how did other ponies respond?" Pinkie asked
Rarity nodded as she took another sip. "I got mixed results, some in favor, some against, but If you don't mind me asking, why are you so on board with becoming friends with them?" Rarity asked as Pinkie smiled.
"Simple silly, I bet they'll be great bakers, they can literally put love in all the goodies making them ten times better, at least I hope they can, also I hope they could teach me how to change my appearance," Pinkie said as Rarity looked at her curiously.
"Change your appearance, but you don't have a horn, how would you cast it?" Rarity pointed out, Pinkie still smiling.
"Zecora can do magic and potions, so I could probably learn to cast the spell without a horn, or maybe Twilight can find a spell to give me that power, just think of the surprises you could do with it," Pinkie interjected.
Rarity nodded in defeat, Pinkie's logic outweighed her own. "That's true," Rarity conceded as she drank her coffee. "And you also think they can really cook with love?" Rarity asked as Pinkie nodded eagerly.
"I really do," Pinkie said, licking her lips just thinking about the possibilities if it were true. "Just think of the expression being literal," Pinkie said before realizing. "Oh, they could also supply you with silk for your dresses, and literally put the love in your tlc rule," Pinkie added.
Rarity chuckled to herself as she put down her empty coffee cup. "You have a point there, and I'm sure it might be possible," Rarity said as she finished the last bit of her muffin. "Thank you for letting me pick your brain, darling," Rarity said as Pinkie smiled.
"You didn't pick my brain, silly," Pinkie said, causing Rarity to laugh.
"You know what I mean, Pinkie, thank you for answering my questions," Rarity said as Pinkie chortled.
"I know, and anytime, Rarity, we should do this again," Pinkie replied as she got up and took the cups to the wash.
Rarity got up from the table and peeked her head into the kitchen. "Well, Darling, I hate to go, but I must get going," Rarity called out to Pinkie.
"Ok, Rarity, drop by anytime," Pinkie called back, washing the cups thoroughly in the sink.
Rarity left Sugarcube Corner and trotted down the street, as she walked she took out her notepad and wrote under Cadance and Shining's reply.
Pinkie Pie: Pinkie seems overly excited about the idea, she is aware of the risks, but seems to trust her instincts enough. She believes that changelings can cook with love, I'll have to try this myself when I cook again, though I may already be doing it subconsciously, I have one more pony to ask about this matter, if her view is positive, I'll at least come out to my friends and maybe my sister.
Rarity jotted down as she walked. After writing down Pinkie's reply she came to a stop at a bench. Sitting down, Rarity took a deep breath as her heart pounded, anxiety kicking in as she thought about how Applejack would respond. She remembers how she got attacked the most during the changeling attack, being dog-piled by a mass of them.
"Calm down, Rarity. Applejack is a sensible mare, I don't think she would let personal feelings outweigh logic," Rarity said to herself as she got up and started trotting towards Sweet Apple Acres
