Spike's Journal

Dear Diary,
Well, I officially found one (1) fault in Rarity. I didn't even know she had one. Well, granted, nopony's perfect, but I honestly thought the worst she did was have the occasional negative thought, so I'm sorta crushed. Anyway, the mess wasn't entirely her fault. So, I guess I should tell you what happened.
I guess that Winter Wrap Up and the Parasprite invasion tuckered us out so much, we forgot all about the stupid Gala. Well, I'm not surprised I forgot about it, at least. The only reason I'm even going is to make sure Rarity doesn't get a coltfriend.
...Okay, I kinda want to visit Pony Joe's too, but can you blame me? His powdered doughnuts are amazing! Anyway, it's mostly about Rarity, at least.
Besides, I finally grew enough to wear that oversized tuxedo Twilight gave me three years ago, and I had some spare shirts in case I needed them for some reason. From the photos I saw from the last Gala, only around half the ponies there bothered wearing anything, and even then it was just accessories, not clothes.
Not realizing that, Twilight and the rest decided that they would get a new dress for the occasion, and that they'd have Rarity design them. Mares, lemme tell ya.
I didn't hear anything else about the whole dress situation for another two weeks. Life around the library was boring 'cuz the only new book we got at my reading level – I'd read all the rest (and in this case, "read" means "read 5 pages of before getting bored") – was Hoofy Potter and the Sorcerer's Ponylosopher's Stone. (Twilight still doesn't believe in witchcraft, so I'm kinda surprised she got it at all. Now, if she'd gotten The 39 Ponies, my small reading life would be complete.)
...I'm getting off track, aren't I? Anyway, Rarity didn't usually take more than 3 days to make a dress, so I got a little worried. For all of 2 minutes, before I dove back into the book.
At the beginning of the third week, I was pondering how the Sorcerer's Ponylosopher's Whoever's Stone got into Hoofy Potter's pocket (life was, for once, so boring that I actually read a fair amount of a book), when Rarity came in looking pretty tense. Apparently some top-class designer (his name was Hoidy Doidy or something like that) was going to be attending her upcoming fashion show, and she wanted me to be the MC. I agreed in a heartbeat, since I'd not been satisfied with the amount of MCing I did with Pinkie Pie at the Running of the Leaves (seriously, it's hard to get a word in edgewise once that mare gets on a roll).
As soon as she left, I got started on writing a fancy introduction. On the day of the show, Rarity still looked tense and I had no idea why. So, when the fashion show came, I made the my speech, the curtain opened, and...
...I'm not sure what Rarity was thinking when she designed those dresses. Either that, or Twilight read Daring Do and the New Hope and/or To Kill a Mockingbird too many times.
I tried to see Rarity after the show to ask what exactly happened, but she was too busy crying, whining about packing, and seemingly trying out for a part in Gone with the Pegasus.

Unique Equine Facts #14:
Unicorns seem to have severe mental breakdowns all the time. Possibly magic buildup? Must investigate further.

Well, I knew that she wasn't in any shape to even leave the house, so I didn't worry about her threats of moving. Still, I convinced Twilight and the gang to talk to Rarity. Not that they needed much more convincing.
Thankfully, it worked. Rarity invited me to another fashion show, and this time, the dresses were much better. That fashion guy (Whitey-Tighty?) even asked Rarity for a few orders. Phew.
Today, I learned that even your crush is capable of being a little too crazy. Also, Twilight might be getting into sci-fi. But meh, who cares?

My dearest Diary,
I've done something terrible. I... ordered a bunch of science fiction books. I just couldn't help it. I don't believe in curses. I don't believe that there's some sort of history secret. I don't believe in sci-fi. I don't, Idon'tIdon'tIdon't...
