ButterxCherry
(A/N This next chapter is an example of how the glasses work. The way this is interactive is you vote for who you want shipped by Rarity in the comments. At the end of 24 hours, whatever pairing has the most votes will get shipped, as long as: 1, they're both ponies [Spike thinks of himself as a pony, so he can be shipped] and 2 Rarity is not included in the shipping [she prefers watching other's romances]. Other than that, anything goes. Rarity can even break-up and pair a pony she has already paired with another pony if you want. In case of ties, I'll roll a dice to decide, so I really won't have any control over shipping. That's it, enjoy!)

She soon arrived at a small field, with only two ponies in sight. A cherry colored colt lounged below an apple tree, seeming to have fallen asleep. A butter colored mare sat across the field, staring at the sleeping pony. Hovering over the butter colored mare was a green heart, and over the colt a heart that was crossed out. 

Not having been seen, Rarity ducked behind a bush to ponder the situation. "Could these glasses possibly be telling me… that the butter colored mare has a crush on the cherry colored colt? Oh! How romantic! Maybe I can set the two up together!" Suddenly, a new green glow could be seen through the glasses. 

A vine had been lit up. The vine was by the apple tree. "Hmm… Are the glasses telling me something?” she asked herself, wondering as to what it could mean. She looked closer at the vine – not only was it next to the apple tree, but in fact hanging from one of the branches. “Maybe if I pull the vine an apple will fall, hit the pony, and wake him up?"

Using the bushes as cover, Rarity went over to the vine. Gripping it in her teeth, she gave the vine a quick tug. The pressure caused a few apples to fall, one onto the sleeping colt's head. The colt quickly sat up at his rude awakening. He looked around, trying to distinguish where he was after his short nap. He noticed the mare, who was trying to cover up the fact she had been staring at him. He seemed rather flustered, and Rarity realized he needed another nudge to go over and say hello… but what could she do?

Suddenly, an apple that had fallen next to her started glowing. Were the glasses trying to tell her something again? She had an idea. She gave the apple a kick with one of her forehooves, sending it rolling out from behind the bush to bump into the colt.

The colt turned around at the sudden pressure on his back. Noticing the apple, his face lit up. Picking up two apples, he walked over to the mare, and they started talking. 

“Hello, I thought you might want an apple.” Cherry said.

“Hi… um, thanks… I was kinda hungry…” Butter said, looking down at the ground as she took a bit of the red treat.

“Well you’re aren’t very talkative, are you?” he asked. “Come on! Tell me about yourself! You’ve gotta have SOME interesting story!”

Butter giggled. “I’m not exactly known for having an exciting life… The most exciting thing to happen to me in this old town was graduating school!” she said jokingly.

“Aw! Come on! You’ve got to have something more interesting then that!” he said.

While they were talking, the glasses stopped their glowing.

"I suppose my work here is done. What a cute couple!" Rarity said to herself. She noticed another glow back towards Ponyville. "I suppose another couple needs my help… That was rather fun! I wonder who I'll set up this time. Oh, how romantic! I wonder if it’ll be anyone I know? Oh! Imagine if I set up Twilight with Big Mac! Or Rainbow Dash with some mare! …unless she really is straight… hm, I suppose I might find out!" She continued, as she went off towards the lovers to be.

(A/N that was a bit boring and non-descriptive, but I'll go into more detail with the couples you all care about. Don't forget to vote below!)
