Flutters for Rarity:

by Ponyess


A New Day Aria: 2

I guess I had loved singing much more than I had dared to realise. Never had allowed me to see the light for what it was. I had been singing to myself, and for the Critters.

Can't scold myself for missing it, or for failing to see where it was leading me. What is done is done. I have to stay strong and be there for my charges, whenever they need me. It's my task in life.

Since the fateful day as I fell off of the cloud of Cloudsdale, I had been happy, caring for the critters. Now I had been singing most days. I may have been singing by myself, and only critters around. This one latest event had taught me, just how much I love singing.

A new scene had been built, where I can hide so that no pony see me as I sing. I guess I do enjoy the idea. Only then Rarity had created me a nice suit for the event.

When it had all been said and done, now maybe I could sing. Even if only for small crowds of friends, and Rarity, my rarity is still leading the show in the first place. Big Mac and the Tones was also with me. Now Rarity had given me something more than mere words and objects. Maybe this is part of why?

Actually, I had hidden the suit she made for me behind the scene, I only wear it, while we perform, but it allowed me to get a bit closer to the group, and a bit further from the scene, and all it represented. To a point, my suit looks very much like the once they wear, only with a few additions and changes in order to fit me and my situation.

I had also realised, I didn't just enjoy singing, but to do it with my friends, and with her made it all the more special to me.
The most enjoyable moments, that's when I had the chance to sing for just Rarity. I could hide behind a curtain, where only she knew I was singing, even if any other pony in the room, or close around would hear me.

Then it hit me, she apparently enjoyed it more than she had expected. What is striking, is how my singing had changed her mood, and how I had inspired her in her work as well.

Naturally, I always made sure to feed all the little critters, before I ventured into town. If I got into town, I made my best to make allowance for the event, singing for Rarity for at least half an hour. Knowing just how much she enjoyed it.

From time to time, I regretted we live so far apart, knowing she felt the same. Only it couldn't be helped, she had to be squarely in the middle of town, just as I had to be on the fringe of the forest. She had her customers in town, while my charges was living in the forest.
