//------------------------------// // A Party... For Me?! // Story: Diamonds and Butterflies // by Princess Glitzy //------------------------------// Fluttershy spotted Rarity and ran up to her. She eagerly tapped on her shoulder and waited for Rarity to turn around. It must be Pinkie Pie. She always sneaks up on us excitedly. This time, I will beat her at her own game! Rarity spun around quickly and shouted loudly. "HI!!!!!" Fluttershy flinched slight, but remained glued in place, for what was about to occur was too important to ruin with her wimpiness. "Oh, um... h- hello Rarity." She gave her a shy wave and a small smile. "Fluttershy, dear! I'm so sorry! I expected Pinkie Pie! I was shocked to see you and even more shocked to see that you didn't-" Fluttershy cut her off. "I know, I didn't freak out over something that would usually startle me." "That would give you a heart attack, not just a duck for cover and safety thing." "To quote Rainbow Dash, 'whatever'." Rarity giggled quietly. "Um... so Rarity…" "... Fluttershy?" "I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU!" they shouted in unison. "You go first." "No! You can go Fluttershy!" "Let's go at the same time." Rarity nodded. "I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU!" they once again shouted in unison. Rarity smacked her hoof on her forehead. "FLUTTERSHY, GO! YOU FIRST!" Fluttershy shrunk down slightly due to Rarity's loud, annoyed voice. Fluttershy walked over to a nearby tree and grabbed a simple box with something simple scrawled on a sticky note that was placed on one of its vertical stripes. Rarity slowly read it. To: Rarity, my BFF, my 'sister', my love From: Fluttershy, a shy mare who was lucky enough to win your heart XOXOXOXOXOXO This brought Rarity to tears. She loves me like a sister and like her fillyfriend. I must be really special to her. Rarity would've accepted the note by itself as the gift. Whatever was inside was just 'icing on the cake'. She took off the cover and looked inside. It was mesmerizing. It was perfect. It was so... Rarity. Inside the box was the most gorgeous dress that Rarity had ever seen. She envied it, she hated it for being better than her designs, but more than anything, she was grateful and really, really, really happy. "Thank you Fluttershy! I couldn't be happier! This is so beautiful! I-" Fluttershy put her hoof over Rarity's mouth. She slowly pulled it away and then leaned in to kiss Rarity. The two mares kissed deeply, passionately and lovingly. The world faded away, all that mattered that Rarity was in her arms. After what felt like forever, the two ponies separated to get some air. Fluttershy stared into those deep, crystal blue eyes and she melted like butter on toast. "I made that... for you. It was inspired by your fashion idols' designs, your designs and my love for you. I'm sorry if that sounded cheesy. Rainbow Dash laughed at that statement when I asked her if it sounded okay." Reminder, give Rainbow Dash a piece of my mind later. "It's gorgeous, so is what you said." Rarity looked upon the gorgeous dress. (You'll see a picture of it later) Fluttershy picked Rarity up easily due to her excitement and then flew her into the beautiful night sky. Rarity used the levitating spell Twilight taught her and she started hovering next to Fluttershy because she didn't want to force her fillyfriend to carry her weight, no matter how light she was. The two mares just look at the stars silently. It was spectacular. After a bit it became chilly, so they slowly eased their way back to the ground. Rarity put her hooves on Fluttershy's face to make her look directly at her. "I have a surprise for you." Fluttershy stared at her anxiously. "Fluttershy, please put on a formal dress." I bet it's because she's going to surprise me with a date at a fancy restaurant. Suddenly, her stomach growled... loudly. I'm glad that Rarity didn't hear that. Fluttershy returned wearing formal attire. Rarity returned looking radiant and perfect. "Fluttershy, I need you to follow me and forgive me for this." Rarity used her magic to force Fluttershy's eyes to close. "MY EYES!" "Calm down." "Okay..." Rarity teleported the two of them to the Rarishy ball. They arrived there quickly and then Rarity ushered her into a room far away from the party. She undid the eye spell and then whispered something "Stay here!" Fluttershy sat down in the small room. Rarity ran up to the main four and the CMC. "Is everything all good?" They all looked away guiltily. "What happened?!" Applejack couldn't keep secrets, it was kind of like lying to her, unless of course it would hurt her friends severely. "Look at the banner." Rarity looked up at the banner that said Rarity Flutters "Rarity heart Flutters! Don't they know her name?!" "Well yes, but do you remember when Celestia came?" Twilight said. She thought back to that day. Welcome Princess Celest "I CAN FIX THIS!" Rarity used her magic and art skills to fix it, so that it said exactly what she wanted. Pinkie Pie cheered and clapped. "Yeah! All fixed!" Rainbow Dash put her hoof on Pinkie's shoulder. "Chillax." "Okey dokey lokie, Dashie!" Then, Rarity used her magic to teleport Fluttershy to their current location in the middle of the ballroom. "Surprise!" shouted everypony there (almost all of Ponyville was there). She looked up at the sign. Rarity Fluttershy "THIS IS PERFECT!" She toppled Rarity and then showered her with little kisses and then a nose nuzzle. Once she did that she pulled Rarity back up and ran to the center of the ballroom. "Would you like to dance? Well, um... if you want to I mean." "YES, OF COURSE!" The two beautiful mares began dancing. (they look like this) "Would you ponies like to dance to some music?" They nodded and Twilight cued Spike and Sweetie Belle. Scootaloo followed closely behind them onto the stage. Rarity watch proudly as her sister began to sing. Sweetie Belle sang amazingly, she sang with vibrato and everything. Scootaloo danced along with grace the whole time. Spike and Rainbow Dash played great music. Overall, the music was fantastic and everypony loved them. "WOO HOO! SWEETIE BELLE! CHECK OUT YOUR FLANK!" Rarity beamed. Sweetie Belle blushed a little and then looked at her no longer blank flank. It was a heart with the chord of a microphone wrapped around it with a microphone in the front. "I- I finally got my cutie mark... DIAMOND TIARA CAN'T LAUGH AT ME NOW! I AM AWESOME AT SINGING! I HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT! I'M SPECIAL!!!!!!!!!!" She danced around happily while Scootaloo took out her scooter and prepared to do some tricks. She waited for the crowd to settle down and then she took off. She did flips, spins and tons of other cool tricks. "SCOOTALOO! THAT WAS EPIC! YOUR FLANK! CHECK IT OUT!" Scootaloo looked at her flank. It had a tire from her scooter with a lightning bolt coming out of the bottom and butterfly wings. "What kind of cutie mark is it?!" Twilight raised her hoof. "In one of my books it showed something like that. It meant that the pony who possesses that cutie mark has speed, agility and grace." "AWESOME!!!!!!!!" Applebloom sighed. She was the only blank flank there... or at least she thought. She looked at her flank. It had a an artist pallet that was shaped like an apple. "Ah have a artsy apple cutie mark!" She ran up to AJ and presented her flank. "Wow! Ma li'l sis an' her best friends all have their cutie marks!" The three cutie mark crusaders cheered and laughed and hugged. Rarity smiled at Fluttershy and then the two of them walked over to the snack table while everypony was busy with the CMC. They grabbed cupcakes, goodies and drinks. "I can't believe how great this party is! I just wish that the party could start again." They glanced over at the chit-chatting ponies. It was more of a get together at the moment. "How about we liven up the party?!" Fluttershy smiled and ran onto the stage, Rarity followed closely behind. They hopped onto the stage and then cued Spike to play the piano. They smiled at each other and then began to sing the first song that popped into their heads. The party ponies all danced to the song especially Pinkie Pie who LOVED the song. Once it ended everypony sighed. "Let's listen to some more music and really PAR-TAY!!!!" Vinyl Scratch jumped up onto the stage and then played a song with a great beat for dancing. Fluttershy and Rarity were dancing happily together and they both agreed that the next song would be a slow song for a romantic moment. Perhaps Octavia could help them? Rainbow Dash was dancing kind of by herself, but made sure that she wasn't to far from Twilight who was happily dancing terribly. Pinkie Pie was shoving ponies, doing a weird dance and getting way too excited. Applejack was helping herself to all of the great food while doing a little dancy thing, so that she wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb. Once the pop song ended Rarity grabbed Octavia and pushed her up on to the stage and then handed her her cello (I don't know where it came from, just go with it). Sweetie Belle walked back up on stage for an encore. Rarity and Fluttershy were slow dancing. Fluttershy and Rarity couldn't even believe that this night was so perfect. "Fluttershy, you are really special to me and I just didn't want to lose you. I felt like we were growing apart. We've only been dating for a few months, I don't want it to end this fast. You are my everything." Fluttershy started crying tears of joy. "Oh Rarity! I feel the same way!" Her shyness was gone, it was replaced by immense happiness. The two mares embraced each other tightly. They looked into each other's eyes and then kissed. The world vanished, the party vanished, the CMC vanished, all that mattered was the two of them in their bubble of love. Sweetie Belle finished the song and looked at her sister. Wait to go, Rarity, you really did find your special somepony!
