STORY #5
Wonderful Things
You are Rarity.
And right now you are with your friend Fluttershy on yet another trip to the spa. You, of course, are getting the works. Facial, hooficure, mud bath, and so forth. Right now its the sauna.
Fluttershy, as usual, is getting the basic package. Nothing new there then. That mare really needs to liven up.
You realise that you've been sitting staring at the wall for the last... Celestia knows how long. But judging by the concerned look on Fluttershy's face, it's been a while.
"Um... Rarity," she squeaks, "are you all right?"
You turn to look at her.
"I'm fine darling," you reply, "I was merely thinking."
"Oh?" Fluttershy responds, "About what?"
"About..." you think for a moment, "all of the wonderful things to be found here in Ponyville."
Fluttershy smiles.
"Oh yes," she says dreamily, "there are many things I love about living here. Everypony is so nice, and there are lots of cute little critters. And then there's the fact that no matter what season it is, Ponyville always looks so perfect."
Finally, a conversation.
"What is your favourite season Fluttershy darling?" you ask.
"It would have to be spring." she replies, "That's when all the new babies are born. They're just so cute."
She lets out a squee.
"What about you Rarity?" she asks, "What's your favourite season?"
"Summer." you say quickly, "It has to be summer. I just adore the luxurious feeling of its warmth against me."
Fluttershy smiles sweetly and the two of you go back to sitting in silence. The rest of your spa trip goes by quickly.
***
You say your farewells to Fluttershy and trot home feeling as fresh as a daisy. You enter the Boutique and close the door behind you.
"Rarity?" a voice calls, "Is that you?"
"Yes darling," you reply, "I'm just back from the spa."
You hear hoofsteps on the stairs and another unicorn comes into the room. She smiles warmly and walks over, wrapping her forehooves around you in a hug.
"I love you Rarity." she says, "Have I ever told you that?"
You nod.
"And I love you too," you pause for a moment, "Summer Breeze."
