When a Door Closes a New One Opens

Ch 62

I told the princess that Rarity was going to visit Canterlot to learn more about the vaste culture and to become familiarzed with the Canterlot elite. And I found out that Rarity received a room from Canterlot Castle. I suppose being the element of generosity comes with some perks. “Here I get to stay here.” Rarity spoke excited but with some concern she did not wish to be greddy as that was not her element after all.

“Oh it’s nothing really..” Celestia said to here.

“But it’s everything I can’t say anything but thank you.” Rarity spoke with a kind and appreciative tone. 

“Oh Opal do you know what I love about Canterlot. Everything.” Rarity spoke pleasantly as she properly sipped her tea.

She then noticed a Canterlot couple approach her. 

“Please excuse our interruption. I’m Jet Set and this is my wife Upercrust. We saw you from across the Cafe and just had to find out….”

“Wherever did you get that simply marvelous chapeau.” Uppercrust asked.

“Oh this old thing. Oh it’s just something I..

“Rarity.” She say a worker come over.

“It’s me Hayseed Turnup Truck. We met at the big hoedown at Ponyville last fall” Hayseed said.

“Oh yes of course how are you.” Rarity spoke politely.

“Good.” He replied.

“You’re from Ponyville?” Jet Set said seemingly looking down at her.

“Well yes but…”

“I thought it looked a little country.” Uppercrust said in disdain. 

Rarity felt disheartened at that. She knew Canterlot could be very particular about what sort of styles they find to be coth and she knew that country simply wasn’t one of them. 

“Looked a little country.” Rarity said in annoyance “I’ll show you something worthy of Canterlot.” She said determined to make a dress.

She then bumped into Fancy Pants and felt embarrassed as well as in awe as he was one of the most well known and rigorous of Canterlot elite. 

“I say that’s one way to make an introduction.” Fancy Pants said as he smiled in with Canterlot etique. 

“Oh goodness I am so sorry. I didn’t see you there. I just have so many bags and was trying to get back to my sweet at the castle.” Rarity said apologetically with a prim and fine voice. 

“You’re staying at the castle?” Fancy Pants asked.

“Well the princess offered me to stay at one of the sweets.” Rarity explained. 

“You know the princess?” He asked with a hint of shock and interests.

“Hmm a pony with expense tastes I see.” Fleur Di Lis.

“Oh it’s for an ensemble I’m making for a friend. Her birthday is in a few days.” Rarity said as she smiled at the thought. 

“Again I’m really sorry I bumped into you.” Rarity said apolegtically as she began to leave.

“I’m not.” Fancy Pants chuckled and smiled. “You are obviously somepony worth bumping into.” Fancy Pants said. 

“Listen I have a VIP box reserved at the Wonderbolts derpy this afternoon. Would you be so kind as to join me and a few of my companions there.” He asked.

“Me.” Rarity felt in shock that he had asked her.

“But of course my dear.” He insisted. And Rarity decided to go. But she still reigned in on the decision. Because she knew it would cut time into her preparing a dress for Twilight. She knew Twilight asked for something simple but she also didn’t want to be rude to her friend. But she also knew that Twilight would agree to her that she should go because she knows that meeting Canterlot elite such as Fancy Pants being one of the most high ups being something she’s always enjoyed.

“Everypony this is Rarity she is staying at Canterlot Castle.” Everypony stopped and murmured knowing it was an impressive suite. 

They then heard Princess Luna announcing the race she loves being a part of Canterot events especially after she was on the moon for a thousand years.

“I’ll be rooting for Rapid Fire of course.” Everyone agreed. 
“I don’t think she has a chance against Fleet Foot.” Rarity said everyone looked at her she just smiled.

“And it’s fleet Foot by a noise!” Luna was heard saying. 

Rarity cheered. 

“Bravo Rarity! I say, how did you know that Fleetfoot would be victorious? Fancy Pants asked.

“My friend Rainbow Dash talks about her all the time. She says what Fleet Foot lacks in size she makes up for in speed.” Rarity explained in a rigorous tone. 

“And who is this Rainbow Dash?” A mare asked.

“Oh she’s a very fast pegasus and has already gotten to know the wonderbolts she will very likely become the next wonderbolt.” Rarity spoke in confidence and proudly of her friend. 

Rarity then went to an art gala and saw the most magnificent of artworks done by a fine young member of the Canterlot elite and she approved of course. 

Rarity even went to a dinner party where she dressed in the most beautiful of blue dresses fit for the occasion. Her mane was also styled much more beautifully for the occasion and looked elite and pristine.  

Rarity then realized the train to Ponyville would be delayed for the next week meaning she wouldn’t be able to make Twilight’s birthday. tThough there was some good news she was invited to the Cantelot gardens for a party your’s truly Fancy Pants. She felt ashamed that she wanted to go because she would have to miss Twilight’s birthday of course if the train was being delayed she wouldn’t of missed it. 

We then arrived at Canterlot with our friends. “Surprise.” We all said.

“What did you? How did you? Rarity spoke in shock.

“Listen to her she’s so excited to see us, she can hardly talk.” Applejack spoke with a smile on her face. 

“What I mean to say is how did you all get here. The train to Canterlot was delayed?” Rarity asked in confusion.

“When I got your letter saying you were stuck in Canterlot, I asked Pinkie Pie if it wouldn’t be too much trouble to move my birthday party here so you wouldn’t have to miss it.” I spoke with kindness towards my friend.

“Wow. First you get me a sweet at Canterlot Castle and now this. I don’t know what to say Twilight.” Rarity said.

We then celebrated the birthday here. We knew that Rarity had gotten invited to a high profile party at the gardens and we don’t want her to miss it. Such events are very important for building up fame in Canterlot after all. 

We then heard Jet Set and Upper Crust saying that she was from Ponyville and I wanted to step up. “You know these ponies?” Fancy Pants asked.

“Yes I do know them. Most of them may not be as sopshisctaed as some of your Canterlot types, but they are my best friends.” Rarity spoke smiling at us with gratitude and true friendship. 

“And they are without a doubt the most important ponies I know.” Rarity said kindly about us.

“Important ponies these ruffians?” Jet Set asked. 

“Don’t make me laugh.” Upper Crust said.

“I for one find them to be very charming. They seem to be willing to stick up for a friend and that makes them admirable. And Rarity I knew you were from ponyville. The royals told us about what happened with Nightmare Moon. My wife and I value virtue and rigor, not money.” Fancy Pants said. “And I think the dress you made for your friend is lovely. Know would you be so kind as to introduce me to your friends.” Fancy Pants asked.

“Fancy Pants it’s so good to see you again.” I said in awe at my friend.

“It’s lovely to see you again too Twilight. I miss the lovely talks we’ve had in Canterlot regarding your studies as well as your outlook on non pony culture.” Fancy Pants said.

Rarity knew that I knew Fancy Pants I told her before that he was one of the most pristine yet a gentle colt. He enjoyed the introduction and enjoyed getting to talk to my new friends. I am very proud of Rarity for showing care and consideration towards her beliefs and her friends even if it may effect her social status.
