Golden Opportunity

Diary Entry #105

Ever since I got here in Equestria, I always felt lost. No dungeon questing, Mana rarely sprouts after I harvest some vegetable and the most suprising of all, gems. Gems are truly outrageous, they are truly, truly, truly outrageous. I mean, back from where I'm from, I had to go to dungeons and break ores just for the chance of getting a piece of sapphires, rubies, emeralds and other gems, here however is different! There's a mine here that 'Naturally' grows them like some mushroom. Unbelievable but, who am I to say that? I'm part monster after all... but I never expected to be a stylist... well more like a dress maker, my sense of fashion is a little... 'in the low' for a lack of better words. All those things I learned back in Sharance helps quite a lot. Well I guess this is good enough?

Thank the Mana for another wonderful day.

As I closed the book and set it down on the table near the bed, I noticed the necklace I smithed, it was a gift from me to my beautiful wife, three gems were socketed inside it in the form of diamonds, an amethyst that reminds me of her lustrous hair, sapphire that reminds me of her wonderful eyes and a diamond, that reminds me of her beauty and generosity. All in all this necklace represents what I feel and what I see for her. I grabbed the necklace and gently held in on my hands as I opened the door and went down towards the workshop of the boutique. This home I currently stay at is the house of my wife, it's called 'Carousel Boutique'.

Once I got down from the room, I found it odd that there was not a pony in sight. Yes, my wife is a pony, sure it may seem weird that a human and a pony would end up together but in the end, it happened. She and I fell in love! Granted that the our first impression of each other were a little... hostile, but things worked out in the end, like I said before... Gems are outrageous.

"Rarity?" I called out but silence was the only answer I got, so I went on to see where she is, and there she is right now, working on another dress, must be an order from fleur de lis.

Even though busy, and working hard on her orders, she was still as beautiful if not more than I remember when we first met, Her purple curly gem like hair or mane and tail in this case, snow white fur and the sapphire blue eyes. I love this mare a lot but of course all people and ponies have their own flaws, Rarity is included as well... even me! Speaking of my flaws...

She was oblivious to her surroundings and seeing as this was a chance to be a little bit mischievous, I tiptoed my way to her back and as soon as I was in position... I hugged her tightly, earning a yelp of surprise from her.

She struggled and squirmed to get away but a few seconds later she remembered the feeling and huffed as she used her magic to levitate me away from her. "Really now, Darling. You should know well enough not to scare a lady like that."

"But I wanted to hug you." I chuckled at her and she smiled back

"Sorry darling but, as you can see, I'm quite busy right now, can you lend me a hoof with these?"

"I can't lend a hoof, but if you need a hand then you're in luck since I have two of them!" She pouted and I laughed

"We've talked about this before Micah, it was not funny the first time, what makes you think it's funny now?" she was still pouting but this just fueled me to laugh some more "I can see where this is going, if you have nothing better to do, then leave me be, I have more important business to take care off" she huffed as she walked away but I stop her by putting the necklace on her

"Oh come on Rarity, you know I'd love to help you." she nodded and told me the things I could help with

A few hours of nonstop working and we finally finished the workload! For the day anyways... we talked about a few things over lunch and as all the same talks we had, it had to go to the topic I hate the most.

"Speaking of, Darling would you mind if I take some of your golden fur?" I looked at her incredulously at the phrase she said and seeing as she was serious I sighed

"Rarity, honey, we've talked about this before, you know how I hate getting sheared!"

"It's just a little, Darling! I promise!"

"Rarity, no means no!"

"Please darling! If you really love me, you'll do this for me! Please!" This, is one of her flaws, along with being overly dramatic

My golden wool was really a wonderful sight for every pony here in Equestria, it was also the main reason why I was a little defensive against Rarity when we first met...

In this world, gems grow from the earth, so surely gold would be as well right? Wrong. Gold were hard to come by and not really that pricey since bits, the money of this world is made from gold. I gave her a gold ore from my world and she told me it was hard and utterly impossible to use with her dresses. My fur however was the perfect shade, hue and color and she took some of my wool the first time she saw my wooly form. It was not a pretty sight, I was terrified and defensive against her when I first met her in human form.

"Rarity, you know I love you, but I won't budge on this." she pouted "Not even if you use your pouty face." she huffed

"Oh boo." she was still pouting and she was so cute like this that I couldn't hold myself back and pecked her lips with my own "Just use this." I told her and she smiled as she said "I won't give up darling, I'll get some of your fur one way or the other"

The day went by with me and Rarity arguing about 'Just a little bit of fur' as she put it... it took hours and hours and she still won't give up until it was almost midnight

"Finally, I thought you'd never give up." I saw her at the couch in the living room, her face covered by wet tears and her hooves, the room filled with quiet sobs, I felt my heart ache into a thousand pieces, this may be just another one of Rarity's schemes to get me to concede but I hate seeing her cry like this. I went to her side and hugged her

"I'm sorry, please don't cry honey. I'll do what you want, just stop crying, you know I hate to see you like this." she lifted her head and looked at me as she said in a whispered voice "Really?"

I nodded "Yes, really, It's just hair, I'd rather see my beautiful wife smiling." I kissed her and stroked her mane gently as she told me "thank you." and nuzzled her head to my chest

"One thing though." she looked at me with suprise in her face "what is it, darling?" I grinned at her nd said "This dress better be the best dress I see!" she beamed a smile as she said "Of course! I am the best dress maker after all!"

"You're also the best wife a guy could ever have." I smiled at her as she blushed and held my hands at her hooves and nuzzled her her head to my neck and I gently hugged her... it was a great feeling for both of us, until Sweetie Belle came back home and ruined the moment

"Go get a room you two!" Sweetie Belle whistled, Rarity blushed and ran back to the bedroom as I groaned at Sweetie Belle

"Sweetie Belle! We were having a moment!" she stuck her tongue out

"Get a moment somewhere else than a living room then" expecting me to get a bit flustered at the statement but I only grinned

"Tell that to Button Mash, inside an arcade? Really?" she got flustered

"Wha- What are you talking about?! I don't like this topic!" she ran away... I chuckled, they're sisters alright, both cute and easily flustered, one is a tailor and the other is a singer.

"Rarity! My body is ready!" I called out

"Darling! Can you please, not phrase it like that?! It's unbecoming and uncouth!" I chuckled at what she said imagining her saying it with a blush

Oh well, while it's still here, might as well make the most of it, I transformed to wooly form as I marveled at my own fur goodbye my beautiful golden wool... this is for her after all.
