Look for somepony else

by Jyxia


A helping hoof part 2

The two friends spent the whole afternoon together.

Discord helped the unicorn with bringing the fabrics she needed and Rarity showed him some hats to wear, since she knew her friend wasn't that into fashion.

The draconequus tried a black one, to then put it back and bring more of them.

One hat caught Discord's attention more than the others.

It was dark brown and reminded a lot of those hats the stallions were wearing at Canterlot.

The young mare looked in the mirror, standing next to the fascinated creature and smiled at his reflection.

"I think someone has found something he fancies."

Rarity would say a little teasingly.

Discord wide-opened his eyes and chuckled slightly.

"Indeed, I have, but I'm afraid this hat belongs, or maybe do belong to somepony else."

In a second, he made the hat return to where it was with a snap.

The draconequus turned around and looked down on the unicorn.

"I suppose many of your customers already have ordered these stunning pieces."

Rarity knew Discord usually was irritating with his... Childish behaviors, but never knew how good manners he had at the very moment.

On the other hand, Discord would probably do something nasty, she thought.

'He can't go without making a single joke, now can he...?'

"Rarity?"

The world seemed to come back to her as her friend spoke.

She had been thinking way too much the last few moments.

Rarity shaken her head lightly and gazed up on Discord with a nervous smile.

"Yes?"

The draconequus snapped his fingers once again and made a chair appear, which he would use to sit on.

As he sat, the smile faded away from the creature's lips and looked on the unicorn with a deadpan expression.

Although, his eyes couldn't hide the concerned feelings Discord had.

"I was wondering about that outbreak you had earlier. You haven't told me anything before I found you spilling tears on your precious couch."

The draconequus said with a serious tone.

Rarity was aware of that she must tell him the whole story about her "little" problems.

"I know..."

The mare would say in sorrow and look down for some moments before she rose her head again.

"It's just that I... I want somepony on my side. Somepony that would love for who I am... Somepony I could love for who he is. I've been searching for years after the perfect stallion and look on me, I am still a lonely mare."

The fashionista said calmly, while making eye contact with the creature.

"Oh Rarity, if you only told me about this earlier, the hunt could've continued days ago!"

Rarity tilted her head slightly and rose an eyebrow to his response.

"And how are you going to help me? You told me that you didn't know anything about love!"

The mare would say in an angry tone, which made Discord surprised over her sudden upset change in her voice.

"I suppose I could try, even if I am not the best adviser. Since nopony else seems to volunteer, I guess maybe I can help..."

The unicorn walked to her friend quickly and made a rather grumpy face in front of him.

"Discord, how can I be sure you aren't going to make me look like a fool? I know you still love to put pranks on others..."

Rarity asked and narrowed her eyes as she gazed into his mismatched ones.

Discord sighed and folded his arms while looking into the white mare's eyes.

"Would I, as your friend not offer you some help about something I barely know about? Well, if you don't want support, I won't bother you any longer with your issues."

Rarity's eyes went wide open.

She couldn't believe what she was hearing.

The unicorn wanted to say something, but nothing would left her little mouth.

"I was afraid you wouldn't speak at all, but-"

In his shock, the fashion pony's eyes got filled with tears.

Discord didn't want to deal with the boring love drama, but he didn't want to lose his new friend.

Rarity closed her eyes and looked down, sobbing ever so quietly.

She knew nopony would help her finding her special somepony.

It was all over, she thought.

Suddenly, slim arms embraced her small body.

When she opened her eyes, Discord was next to her.

"I thought you..."

Rarity said and wiped away her tears before the draconequus interrupted.

"Hush, my friend. We are going to look for the missing pony in you life."

Discord lifted up the mare with ease and snapped his fingers to make them teleport outside Ponyville, which was the place Discord wanted Rarity to check out first.

What Rarity didn't expect was that they would stand on a cloud, or at least he did.

"Discord! What in Celestia's name are we doing up here?!"

The unicorn cried out in worry, clanging tightly to the draconequus.

Her friend laughed and put her down.

"Inspecting, of course! What, did you think I would let you fall?"

Rarity groaned and growled quietly.

"Discord!"
