Visiting Rarity

Chapter 12

Shortly before leaving the cottage, Starbloom decided to get the saddle bags. "Hang on Toby, I want to get something before we leave." She said slipping from the wagon she made her way up the stairs to the bedroom and got the saddle bags using her magic to carry them down stairs.

Toby helped her back into the wagon and she put the saddle bags in front of herself smiling. "Thank you for waiting Toby, I'm ready now." She said smiling up at Toby who smiled back.

"It's a.. alright Starbloom," He said before walking towards Ponyville, the walk from Fluttershy's cottage towards Ponyville didn't take to long. Starbloom sat quietly in the wagon while Toby quietly pulled it behind him. After reaching Ponyville he started on his way towards Carousel Boutique.

The walk to the boutique was pretty quiet and uneventful. Once they arrive, Starbloom slipped out of the wagon on her own and put the saddle bags on her back. Toby turned around and smiled at Starbloom seeing her get out of the wagon on her own. "You m.. must be feeling better, if y.. you can get out of the w... wagon on your own." Toby said smiling at her.

She smiled at Toby nodding "Yea I'm feeling better Tody, my shoulder doesn't hurt as much." She said as they went up to the door, Toby opening it up for them and they head in side."

"H.. hello auntie Rarity, are you h.. home?" He asked looking around Starbloom trailing in behind him smiling as she looked around herself.

"Oh, Toby darling, yes I'm here." She said coming out of the back looking over at him, then spots Starbloom. "Ah, you brought a friend. Hello darling, my name is Rarity, and you are?"

"Hello Rarity, my name is Starbloom." Starbloom said smiling up at her bowing lightly to her. "It's nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you as well Starbloom dear." Rarity said smiling and leading them over to the cushions, all of them finding a place to sit. Toby taking a seat next to Starbloom. "That's a very lovely headband you got there. Though it looks abit.... off."

"Thank you Rarity, it's a little big for me though. But it allows me to use magic." Starbloom said smiling up at Rarity.

Rarity smiles at her, using her magic to pull the headband off Starbloom looking it over. "I see, if you'd allow me to I can resize it for you."

Starbloom smiles up at her, "If.. it isn't to much trouble I would like to have it fixed.. but the design and style needs to stay the same if possible."

Rarity smiled at her and nods, using her magic to get a tape measure to size Starbloom's forehead before getting some fabrics and starts to work on a new headband for Starbloom. "Of course dear, I'll do my best." Rarity said smiling before looking over at Toby, "How about you Toby dear? Is everything going good for you and Fluttershy?"

"Y... yes auntie Rarity, me and Fluttershy are do.. doing good. We're letting S.. Starbloom stay with us... while she's in town." Toby said smiling at Rarity rubbing Starbloom's head softly.

Rarity nodded and smiled, Starbloom wiggling her ears at the rubbing. "I'm glad to hear you and Fluttershy are doing well. It's certainly nice of you and Fluttershy to let her stay at the cottage."

Starbloom smiled wiggling her ears a bit more. "Yea, Toby and Fluttershy have been really nice. Helping me out and letting stay with them."

Toby smiled as well softly rubbing Starbloom's head a bit. "It's b.. been nice having her staying w.. with us."

Rarity smiled at them nodding as she checks the work on the headband. She had already got the basic design done and was moving the gems from the old headband to the new one fixing them into place. "Well, I must say you two do seem to get along very well. Just like a real brother and sister."

Toby smiled at that, and Starbloom blushed faintly but smiled as well. "Thank you Rarity, that is very nice of you to say." Starbloom said

Toby nodded smiling at Rarity, "Y.. yes auntie Rarity, that was v.. very nice of you." He said smiling at her brightly, leaning over and hugged Starbloom careful of her shoulder.

Starbloom smiled and hugged Toby back softly nuzzling his cheek softly. Letting go of the hug once Toby does as well. Rarity smiled at the both of them while finishing up the headband putting it back on Starbloom's head softly. "There you go dear, all done. How does it fit?"

Starbloom smiled feeling the headband get placed back on her head reaching up to adjust it. "Thank you Rarity, it fits very well." Starbloom said smiling activating her magic feeling the gems surge with energy before the glow faded away.

"Starbloom dear, if I may ask, where in Equestria did you find those marvelous gems?" Rarity asked smiling at Starbloom.

Starbloom paused and glanced over at Toby then back at Rarity trying to come up with something. "I... um.." she started before Toby cut her off.

"I g.. gave them to her auntie Rariry, I.... hope that's o.. okay with you." He said looking up at Rarity. Starbloom tilted her head at Toby.

"Of course it's alright with me, they were yours to give away after all," Rarity said smiling at Toby. Starbloom relaxing a little. "I think it was very nice of you."

Toby smiled, "T.. thank you auntie Rarity." He said before there was a noise at the door. All three of them looking over seeing Sweetie Belle come in.

"Sweetie Belle darling, we have guest." Rarity said smiling waving her over. Starbloom watched as Sweetie trotted over, she did her best to hide the flood of emotions swelling up in her.

"H.. hi Sweetie Belle, this is my fr.. friend Starbloom." Toby said smiling as he introduced Starbloom.

Sweetie smiled at Toby then at Starbloom, "Hi Starbloom, it's nice to meet you." She said smiling at her.

Starbloom smiled back and relaxed as best she could. "Hello, Sweetie Belle, it's nice to meet you as well." She said reminding herself this isn't the Sweetie she grew up with.
