School is finally out which everyone at Canterlot finally awaited for the long vacation. Rarity had plans especially with Ardee but it all went a different route. She and Applejack received a message from the owner of Equestria Land on the applications they submitted before for applying as caramel apple servers when the positions were opened and they were accepted to their enjoyment which was their original plan before.
“Here is your order.” Rarity handed another order of caramelized apple on a stick.
“Thanks,” Micro Chips said.
That was another customer at the caramel apple stall and after checking the time, it's finally the fashionista’s break time. There weren’t that many customers but Rarity got the hang of this even though this wasn’t her forte. Something was in her mind that kept bothering her about which was noticeable to her best friend after she’s done another customer.
“Rarity, yall okay?” Applejack concerningly asked. “Ah thought you would enjoy this kind of work?”
“Oh no darling it's not about the job it’s something else,” Rarity replies not to disappoint her. “I am happy that you and I get to work here as we planned before. It just came to my mind that I am over qualified which is why I didn’t get the position before but now I am needed. You won’t believe this, I spoke with the owner of the theme park because I saw Ardee here the other day and he paid the owner for us to get the positions as caramel apple girls!”
“He did!? Now Ah feel bad that we even got the jobs.”
“I called him and he just said he did all that for me to spend time with you. Not that I don’t appreciate it but he really didn’t have to go that far. I’m mostly worried if Fleur de Lis had something to do with this.”
“Uh how did Fleur get involved in this?”
“She could have found something to use against Ardee and more maybe he gave up on me and he chose her which is THE…WORST…POSSIBLE…THING!” Rarity soon realized that she attracted the attention of the people around and began to calm down. “Fighting really isn’t my thing, I’m just more into fashion. BUT I’LL RIP HER TO PIECES IF SHE DARES GET NEAR HIM EVEN IF SHE GETS A STRAND OF HIS HAIR FROM HIS HEAD!”
“Alright Rares ya’ll can stop being a drama queen because you're attracting their attention again. How about we both go speak with him when we get the chance then we’ll know the real reason why he did all this.”
“You’re absolutely right. I really need something cold to get my mind off this”
“Ice Cream?”
“No, I saw one of those Boss Coffee stalls Ardee goes to. I’ll just grab a cream frappe.”
It’s weird after Rarity left, that Applejack always thought whenever her best friend was in distress that she would go for some ice cream but this was new.
After getting a chance to speak with Ardee, his reason is for her to spend more time doing what she wants, especially with her friends. In addition that he doesn’t want to force the fashionista to spend more time with him and being selfish, he mentions he will hit the gym and for her not to worry about him. Rarity finds his reason odd and is bothered that she may think Ardee may have gained some pounds which is the opposite after spending time with him in bed after memorizing his physique.
She decides after calling her boyfriend that he will be in the gym again today, she will be joining him. This wasn’t to her liking though…
****************************************************************************
“I’m pfft-sorry. I just find it hard to believe haha-pfft that you asked me to go to the gym with you for a workout.” Rainbow Dash held her laughter during her conversation with. “Because you always complain whenever you break a fingernail or two that you got over it.”
“In your dreams, hmph!” The fashionista huffed. “I haven’t got over that yet and the reason why I called you is to accompany me there.”
“You sure? Maybe you just want to see your boyfriend sweat while gazing at his muscles when his shirt off-”
“Oh would you cut that out and just focus on your driving!”
Rainbow Dash parked her motorcycle upon arriving at the gym with Rarity. Both enter the building and Rainbow have to first check them in. While patiently waiting for her companion by the reception counter and without her reacting, someone bumped into her. Upon apologizing that she wasn’t paying attention, the person who stood in front of her was an intimidating woman taller than her with white skin as hers, long white hair and red eyes. She passed Rarity and the fashionista sees the woman did not break her eye contact off her and left after.
“Uh hello, Earth to Rarity?”
Rarity is snapped back to reality by Rainbow Dash as they proceed. They reached the second floor where all the gym equipment is. There were many people today and Rainbow pointed to the boxing ring and Rarity sees the athlete’s boyfriend Sky and her boyfriend but sees he’s laying on the ring beaten up.
“Ardee!” Rarity rushes to the ring and helps her boyfriend up. “Are you alright, what happened?!”
“It’s fine I was in the middle of sparring with Sky here. How humiliating for me to be beaten up by a woman,” Ardee said.
“Wait. When you say a woman, does she have long white hair and the same skin complexion as mine and red eyes?”
“Yes. That cousin of mine was a rough one after all.”
Rarity didn’t believe it when Ardee said the woman she bumped into earlier was his cousin but he insisted it's the truth when she was about to go after her. Ardee resumed his sparring with Sky while Rarity observed him from a bench.
“You aren’t going to change?” Rainbow Dash sat next to her after changing into her gym clothes. The fashionista only glared back at her. “Okay I get it. Hard to believe because I do see Ardee jogging during weekends, now he prefers to do Sky’s workout routine all of a sudden and he never even gave his reasons.”
“That’s why I want to know why he is acting strange right now.”
Things went a lot worse because just outside the gym a limo pulled over in front of the establishment. After Ardee getting tossed again, Sky said that someone else will be using the boxing ring which is the reason why he’s here today. Ardee is now going to use the treadmill machine until a female voice calls out to him. Ardee and Rarity followed the voice and saw Fleur de lis is here with Saber and her other friends from before.
“Seriously!?” Rarity scowls that her rival was here unexpectedly and got in the way as Fleur began approaching Ardee. “I think you’ve gone too far this time with your stalking.”
“Stalking? My goodness Rarity all of this right now is simply a coincidence (Mostly fate for me).” Fleur thought of that last bit and resumed. “I have no idea that he will be coming here today. I guess I’m getting luckier as each day passes.”
“And everytime I see you near my boyfriend makes me sick!”
“How about we settle this in another round because I still recall how you humiliated me last time. I want revenge.” Fleur looked around and saw what they both would use to compete. “How about we get in that ring and wrestle.”
“Fine!”
As Fleur walks away with her friends to get prepared. On the other hand while Sky volunteers to be the referee, Ardee was left with his mouth open for he couldn’t believe what his girlfriend would end up doing.
“I hate to say this Rarity but I don’t think you have a chance. Especially-” Rainbow Dash mumbles then continues. “You will wrestle her?”
“Mmmph, nonsense!” Rarity scoffs. “I’ve seen you and Applejack do it during PE, it cannot be that hard. I simply don’t regret making this decision.”
“I SIMPLY REGRET EVERYTHING THAT I JUST SAID!!” Rarity panics at the corner of the ring. “Why didn’t you tell me that Fleur often comes here to learn self-defense?!”
“Why didn’t you ask?” Rainbow Dash replies only for the fashionista to facepalm herself.
“The rules are pretty simple: you can only defeat your opponent by either pinfall or submission. Are both sides ready?” The referee checks both sides. “Okay, ring the bell!”
The fashionista was panicking and had no idea what to do next. Both ladies approached each other and Rarity wished her opponent good luck to shake hands. This was according to Fleur’s plan as she reached out for Rarity’s hand and upon grabbing it, she pulled her opponent in and locked her in a sleeper hold.
“Unhand me!” Rarity struggles to break free after she is pinned to the ground. “I can’t breathe.”
Rarity raises her hand as she hears her boyfriend warning her not to tap out for she will lose if she did and grab the rope. She could almost reach it but it wasn’t enough and then she thought of another way and quickly put her foot on the rope. Sky saw it and separated both girls.
“Come Fleur, you got this!”
“Show her that you are better than her in this!”
Saber with Cold Forecast, Jet Stream and Uppercrust who came along cheered for Fleur. Ardee reminded his marshmallow to stay focused but not until he saw Rainbow Dash taking a video of them. Rarity tries to gain the upperhand but continues to get dominated by Fleur.
“1…2…”
Fleur got Rarity pinned but not until her opponent kicked out, preventing her from winning. Both girls were exhausted for they were in the ring for 30 minutes.
“Just give it up and share Ardee with me!” Fleur catches her breath as she got on two and grabs the fashionista by the hair.
“OWW, again with the hair!?” Rarity screams as her hair gets pulled again. She's close enough and let her opponent have it.
(SLAP!! )
“What the-?! Did you just slap my boobs!?” Fleur and everyone else couldn’t believe what just happened, but…….Rarity did not stop there and repeatedly continues.
(SLAP!!)
(SLAP!!)
“Take this and that! You just simply use your body to turn on anyone and you want to take advantage of it at Ardee!”
“Oh right, like you never do the same thing! Stop slapping them just because mine are bigger than yours! Referee!” Fleur called for the referee’s attention but- “Are you serious!?”
The guys looked away and so did the referee. Fleur didn’t like what Rarity did, especially that the referee didn’t stop her. The fashionista took the advantage as she got a hold of her opponent and tossed her to the other side of the ring. Fleur rebounded from the ropes for Rarity to knock her down only for Fleur to do the exact same thing as they bumped into each other and both were knocked to the ground.
The rest revert their attention back to the ring after hearing a loud ‘THUD’. The referee begins counting down only for Fleur to get up on her feet first. She pulled Rarity near a corner and even though she exhausted her stamina she still had enough to get on the top rope. Victory is finally in her hands and the only thing that she needs to do is jump and land on Rarity and pin her, but she doesn't know one thing.
After colliding with her opponent, Rarity was trying to recover until she was pulled to the side. She peeked with one eye and saw Fleur positioning on top of the ropes. After Fleur jumped off the ropes, Rarity got her chance and rolled away as Fleur missed her chance and was knocked out after landing on the ring.
“You’re good darling. I am not strong, just lucky.” Rarity rolled Fleur onto her back and- “Consider yourself…pinned!”
“1…2…3!”
With the bell ringing, Rarity moved away from Fleur as she slowly got out of the ring. She was met with a hug from her boyfriend while congratulating her on winning.
“Thanks for the support my love.” Rarity said and returned it. “I am never ever doing that again!”
“You can say that again.” Rainbow Dash showed her the video she recorded on her phone. “You're terrible at this.”
“Well what do you expect for someone who doesn’t do rough housing! Oh dear, not only do I smell like sweat but hair my hair is a mess.”
After Rarity and Ardee finished changing from their gym clothes, the couple excused themselves and left the gym leaving Rainbow Dash and Sky Blaze. Meanwhile Saber and Fleur’s friends try to wake her up, who is still knocked out.
“Ms. Fleur can you hear me?” Saber tries to wake her up and she does after gasping for air. “Are you okay?”
“That was close, I almost died!” Fleur said.
“That’s the reason why wrestling is done by professionals and never try this at home or anywhere.”
“No, it’s that I can’t breathe if I lie face down because of my boobs.”
“That’s what you are more concerned about!?”
“Well you should feel sorry for me. Because it’s not easy being lady and being beautiful-”
“OH SHUT UP!” They yelled back at her.
