Femme of the Theater

by Rarity Belle


Chapter 5

Under a deep sigh had Rarity removed the eye patch that laid before her eye and kept both of her eyes closed as the patch fell in her hand. “Are, you sure you wish to see it, darling?” she asked one last time. There wouldn’t have been any way back, not anymore.

“I am sure, my love. Please, don’t be shy now,” answered Pinkie before as she stroked the cheek of her new found love.

Rarity nodded in understanding and then she opened her eyes. Her left one was perfectly fine. The sapphire blue rim around the black pupil. Her right eye was where the horror struck. For it had lost its blue coloring. It was replaced with a gray one and on the spot where normally the pupil would be, could an emerald be found. “It, happened a long time ago… Just two weeks after my journey began, I got the accident… I knew I would never be the same with it. I lost my sight in the eye and am one hundred percent blind on it. Equipment to remove the gem I didn't had and it, does create a unique look. But it is why I have the eye patch. To hide the misfortune of my powers.” Rarity explained as the pink mare listened with both of her ears wide open.

“But, what about all of this…?” Pinkie spoke while she pointed to all of the theater.

“I had bought the theater soon after I found out that I couldn't walk the streets like I usually would. It became mine to do what I want, and I took residence within it. I lived here for months Pinkie. Never setting a step outside and keeping unwelcome visitors out by force,” explained the unicorn with a regret in her voice.

“E-Except me?”

“Except you,” Rarity spoke under a nod.

“My love, let’s, let’s just get out of here,” Pinkie spoke. She stood up and offered a hand to Rarity. A smile formed itself on her face as she knew just the place where she wanted to go.

“But, to where do you want to leave then Pinkie?” the unicorn began to question a bit as one of her eyebrows rose itself.

“To a place far away from here. Where nopony knows us and nopony knows of. The world things you have left the surface, shall we make that a reality?” Pinkie explained further.

Where every other soul would suggest that death would follow, the unicorn always had looked at words differently. With the cryptic code given to her, she could only make up one solution. “A city, in another land?”

“Bingo,” said Pinkie. She still offered her love a hand. Rarity didn't hesitate to take it anymore and she just took the hand of Pinkie who pulled her up. “Far across the oceans, nopony will know us and we can live in peace, together. Become, a family.”

And so it happened that the words spoken in the basement of an old theater within the borders of a rustic town, became a reality neither of the two mares could have ever dreamed of.
