Rarity and Sweetie Belle were stunned, to say the least. Sweetie had not known that her parents could be so hateful and vicious, but the proof was all there. Spike, himself, was worrying about whether or not he was going to be kicked in the face by her disapproving father. It was frightening, knowing that people that he had wanted approval from so much already had a reason to despise him. He tried to decode why they would ever even have these feelings, let alone want to make a law to illegalize it. As far as Spike knew, there shouldn't have been any reason for them to think that inter species couples were horrible. There had to be, and he wanted to know to see if he had a chance of gaining their approval, and maybe even changing their minds. He got his answer sooner than he thought, and maybe have hoped.
"My Goddess... it explains everything. Ok, everyone, especially you Sweetie, probably have a lot of questions. I should start where it all began, when I was a young filly in Canterlot" Rarity said.
Viewpoint of Rarity
It was a long day, to say the least. Rarity's parents had been fighting all day, for what reason, she was not aware of. But then, She heard something bad,a repeated name, her parents kept saying "Alzon", a name that was a very unsettling to her. Alzon was a dragon she had met at magic school, even thought he went to flying school.
He had been a friend for a while, he was learning to fly at the time, but they shared recesses, as they were both government run schools. She was very scared of when she approached her, but she simply would not be rude and ignore him. "So, what's your name sweet stuff?" He laughed, obviously being sarcastic. This was wierd, yet was a pleasant surprise to be treated like a friend that she had known for a long time. It was then that what he was registered in her mind. He was a dragon, a carnivore that lived to kill and killed to live, or at least that's what her parents told her. She then thought that he was just another being, and he seems nice, and for some reason, she thought he was rather handsome. "Nothing, what's your name?" She replied happily, similar to how Sweetie Belle did as a young filly. "Alzon, I just moved here from the mountains. There's a civil war going on over the land of two large families." He continued as he started to mess with his scales."Well,that's just awful!" She replied, overpronouncing awful. "Its ok, we lived far away,but what's your name?" Alzon said energetically. "Rarity Belle, charmed to meet such a nice young drake."
From then on, they were great friends. They would share lunches, play together, and help each other with problems. What she didn't know, was that she would gain feelings for Alzon. He had been a great friend, and all his exercising from flight training got him in great shape. She started subtly showing him affection, and he took a while to catch on to her actions. But when he did, he started to think about his own feelings. At many times he would be caught staring into her beautiful blue pools of eyes. He accepted his feelings, and they started dating. But it was hard, as Raritys parents were opposing of griffins and dragons coming into Equestria, mostly because her father's job had been taken by a griffin immigrant. She had been able to keep it a secret by sneaking out to see him.
Though the relationship went well, Alzon heard of the growing conflict in the mountains. They were beginning to fight outside of the disputed territory and were making people worried about others lives. Alzon prefered to ignore the problems and continue his relationship with Rarity. It was nice to be able to hold her in his arms and make her happy, at the same time her generosity would make him calm about the problems in his home country. But not everypony at the school was happy about the relationship.
Prince Blueblood had watched Rarity from afar for most of school. They were acquaintances, and she thought he was nice. He thought she was adequate for his affections, and that any filly would jump to be with him. He started to watch her, and try to find things that she liked. But, there was one big problem, and his name was Alzon. He knew of their relationship and could not disprove it, so, he thought of ways to destroy it. He then thought of a plan, not a good one, but a start.
"How are you doing on this fine day, Lady Belle?" Blueblood said as he walked up to her. "Not very good, Alzon is sick today, he couldn't come to school. But you're here,you wanna talk?" She was down, but his company seemed to make her happier. "How unfortunate that he couldn't you today, such a beautiful filly such as yourself should never be alone" He smirked, as he leaned in for a kiss, only to have a hoof stuck in his face. "Blueblood, you know that I'm with Alzon. Please leave if you only wish to kiss me." She said with a noticeable frown. "Oh, we can do SO MUCH more than kiss" he said as he attempted to reach for Raritys butt. She quickly swatted his hand away,"GET AWAY FROM ME!" She yelled as she ran away. "So, she wants it the hard way, does she."
His next stop was Raritys house. He knocked, at first, Blueblood was hesitant to put this plan into action, but then he reassured himself by telling himself that he was just a carnivorous monster. Raritys father answered the door. "Please come in, Mr. Blueblood." He said, allowing Blueblood entrance into his home. They both sat down at a table, and Raritys mother Pearl joined them. "Do you know of the student at our school, Alzon?" Blueblood stated, obviously excited for their reactions to what he would reveal. "Yes, we have been trying to get rid of him." Said Pearl, with a growing frown. "Do you happen to know of his relationship with your daughter? It happens to be a , romantic. Type." Blueblood said with an unnoticeable smirk. "WHAT?!?!" Both of the parents screamed. "Yes, I know, Rarity is at school, and they been in a relationship for some time now. I can pull some strings and get him long gone. All I need from you is to give me permission to court your daughter." He said, putting his hooves together and smiling. They couldn't even speak, all they did was nod their heads frantically in approval.
Alzon was sent away, and all Rarity knew was that he gone. She was devastated. The only thing she did receive was a letter. A letter she wished she never had opened. A letter telling her of Alzon's death. An avalanche was set off on the way he was taking home, and it said the family knew of her connection with him. They said that they were sorry he could not say goodbye, that their family did not even have time to pack. But what she didn't know, is that the same pen that wrote the letter was the same writing a thank you note to one Magnum Belle. Her parents were furious that she would care so much about an ugly good for nothing griffin. And instead of getting mad at themselves for carrying out the plan, they blamed their daughters depression on their daughters coltfriend being another species.
That only lasted for a little bit, and Pearl started yelling at Magnum about how it was wrong. What was wrong, she didn't know. Eventually, after years of fighting, Rarity finally grew tired of the fighting, and she was sure her little sister was too. She took money out of savings, and moved to Ponyville, which had cheap buildings for sale. She and her sister lived there, and even made amends with their parents through letters. She had thought they lost all of their hate, but all that these posters told her was that her time away built it.
She sniffled, reliving the memory in her new loves forearms. It was painful to tell, but it explained it to her sister and her sisters drakefriend."Hopefully we can change their minds, so you they can be happy with you." Rarity said.
