//------------------------------// // Rarity day // Story: Leave it to Striker // by Strikerbolt //------------------------------// Applejack returned from, well, whatever she was doing, and continued drinking vs.Dash. Twilight was back inside so everypony was here. I couldn't help but wonder who I'd hang with today, what memories to discover. It had seemed that, besides Rarity and Twilight, I had some connection with every pony, and dog, here. I had an odd feeling I knew Spike, but I wasn't sure. "So, who am I gonna hang with today?" I asked. "Well, Pinkie and Applejack will be busy working, you, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash have spent plenty of time, even breaking the 'except in bed' part of the deal that Rarity so cleverly joked about, so looks like either Rarity or I will be today's companion." Said Twilight. The word companion echoed in my mind, louder and louder, until I was on the floor for another memory. "Companion? What's that?" Past me asked. The Doctor was running around, switching switches, throwing levers, and pressing buttons. "Well, it sort of like some one who accomponies you, travels with you, and what not." Said P. Doctor "You mean I can travel with you? In the TARDIS? No way!" Said P. Me. "Well, you helped me deafet the dragon, and the daleks. Your a lot of fun, and a big help. Besides, I can help you uncover your past." He said. "Really? That'd be amazing. Maybe I'd learn why I lost my memory." "No. You will find out why." And the memory ends. (Back to present.) "Twilight, why did you use that specific word? Any reason?" I asked. She seemed confused. "No, why?" She asked obviously confused. Pinkie and Discord were there on the spot. "What'd you remember this time?" They asked in unison. "Just the Doctor saying I could be his companion, and mentioned discovering my past. Something must've gone wrong because now I can't remember my past, nor my Doctor travels." I said. "I wasn't there for that, were you?" Asked Discord. Pinkie shook her head. "Anyways, Twilight or I?" Rarity asked. I wasn't sure. I wanted to know more of them both. Rarity, the one with secrets of her own, or Twilight, the new princess. A voice in my head, much like the Doctor's, said Rarity. "I choose Rarity, if that's alright." I responded. Twilight looked relieved, Rarity simply nodded. We left for her Botique. The voice in my head said that she had met the Doctor, but not me. I figured I'd ask once we got there. "I see your wearing the same cape. I could make you another, to give you options." She said, as soon as we got there. Sweetie Belle, Rarity's little sister (whom I'd know idea how I recognized her), was there waiting inside. "Now I shall need to take your cape for measurements upstairs, will you watch Sweetie Belle for me?" She left without a response. I had forgotten that I wore that cape for reason, and only once a Rarity was gone, did I realize it. "Whoa! You don't have your Cutie Mark?" Belle asked. "No, I don't." I said, a little embarrassed. "I don't either." She said. "I'm in a club full of ponies who don't have theirs yet. Wanna join?" She asked with a smile. "Well, by joining, I basically reveal what I've been trying to hide from the public to the public." "We were sad to, but we learned that we shouldn't be ashamed." "You all are still adolescence, I'm a full grown stallion. See the difference?" I asked. "Nope!" And began skipping around the room. Rarity came down with a green cape, with purple seems around the edges. The clip to attach it around my neck was a bow tie. She also had my blue cape from earlier. "Now, try this on." Said Rarity. I put it on. It fit perfectly. "Darling, it's beautiful. It contrasts your mane so well." She had a gleam in her eye, admiring her craft. "What do you think?" "Rarity, I love it!" I said. The entire time, she never noticed my blank flank. Then I remembered. "Rarity, does the name, 'the Doctor' ring a bell." She nodded. "Reminds me of the hero that saved me a year ago. A Doctor showed up and offered him some sort of job, which he couldn't take." Rarity said. "Was that friend BatColt?" I asked. She gasped, but realized that town hall burning down wasn't really a secret, nor was the hero who did his best to save the others. "Yes. He showed quite heroic actions. Very few knew his true identity. He will return soon." Rarity began to tear up, and levitated a tissue to herself. "I miss him." "I'm sure Comet will turn up." I knew I had screwed up when I had finished the sentence. "How'd you know it was him? Did he take the job with you? You can't have known." "I heard you and Pinkie talking when I was looking for Fire." I said. "Striker, eves dropping is rude." "I'm sorry Rarity." "It's okay. So, how jealous were you?" "Well, he got to save your life, travel universes, and even apparently be an Alicorn, so, yeah, pretty jealous." We both smiled. We headed over to the couch for some more small talk.
