//------------------------------// // Chapter ll: Rarity // Story: Once in a While // by Llamas- //------------------------------// "Love isn't something you find. Love is something that finds you." -Loretta Young Rarity walked up to the doors of a local cafe and let out a sigh. She was suppose to be meeting up with a guy, her friends had set her up with the other day, She was also hoping that the guy won't be a complete asshole. She quickly opened the door and scanned for the guy, she hoped it was a good looking guy who will actually listen to her, instead of bragging about how many other women they porked. She finally spotted him way back in the corner of the cafe, using his phone and sipping coffee. She hoped this is the one. She walked over towards the man and asked,"Drake?". "Yup" Drake replied. Rarity's heart began to beat faster, all the excitement, could she have found the one? Rarity looked at Drake for a minute, he was maybe 6'0 or 6'1, he was muscular, he had black hair and hazel colored eyes, and from the looks of it had a very good fashion sense. "Rarity" Rarity said while extending her hand out to Drake's. "You want anything?" he asked. "Yes, maybe a latte" she replied. "Alright hold on" he said with a grin and got up to buy a latte. Rarity was getting excited, she finally found the one. She began to daydream her future with Drake, until buzzing interrupted her trance. It was Drake's phone, he had gotten a text message. Rarity looked where Drake was in the line, he was maybe 4th in line out of 6 people, and decided to check his text. It was from a woman named Marissa, it looked like that Marissa was Drake's girlfriend. Rarity was shocked, she realized that she was just going to be a side-girlfriend. She couldn't realize what she saw, she had gotten her hopes up for nothing. She quickly put his phone back where it belonged. She quickly got up and walked over to Drake and told him that something came up and she had to go. After that she quickly walked out of the cafe and began to walk towards to Pinkie Pie's House for the sleepover party. She was upset, she couldn't believe she got her hopes up for nothing, she sighed and continue to walk to Pinkie's in shame. Rarity walked up to Pinkie's doorstep with her bag with clothing in it. She stopped for a moment before knocking, she wasn't particularly in the mood for a sleepover, but she didn't want to upset the others, especially Pinkie. Taking a deep breath, she finally knocks on the door and the door instantly opens, with Pinkie on the other side "Hey Rares! Your late." Pinkie said with a frown. . Rarity looks down for a moment to her boots and sighs for a moment, then immediately puts on a brave face. "Sorry dear, I was busy with something." she replied. But that thing was another failed date with a guy. "Ohhhh! Let's go upstairs to my room where the girls are at." Pinkie said with a smile. Pinkie ran up the stairs, with Rarity slowly trailing behind her. She hated to be in such a sour mood, but right now she really couldn't help it. Tonight was suppose to be fun, but it was ruined because of a guy, who only wanted her to be his side-bitch, instead of a real girlfriend. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find the right guy. She even had her friends help her set up blind dates for her, which was a disaster. She'd been trying for weeks to right guy, but no matter how hard she had tried, none of it ever went past friendly conversation, the guy would always wanted a one night stand and didn't care about what she was into. She sighed again. She wanted a good-looking guy who cared about her and knew what she likes and had similar interests, but that will still take some time. She slowly made her way up the stairs and towards Pinkie's room. Before entering she looked at the door and sighed for a moment and put on a happy face before entering the room. AppleJack and Sunset were playing cards, Fluttershy was playing with gummy, RainbowDash was playing video games, and Pinkie was doing Twilight's hair. "Sup Rares" said RainbowDash who didn't take her eyes off the T.V "Hi Rarity" said Fluttershy. "Hi Rarity" said Pinkie and Twilight. "Hey Rares...No luck again?" AppleJack and Sunset said in unision. "No, I'm afraid not." Rarity replied to AppleJack and Sunset. "You'll find the find one soon Rares, you just have to be patient." said Sunset "I know" said Rarity "I'll be right back I'm going to the bathroom." Rarity set her stuff down and quickly walked towards the bathroom. She began to put curlers her hair and while she was doing that she began to check her social media, and while doing so, she found an account with her Info on a dating website. She quickly finished up putting curlers in her hair and quickly ran into Pinkie's room. “Pinkie!” yelled Rarity as she enter the room, looking straight at her friend. “What is this?” Pinkie squinted at the phone and stroked her chin. “What are you talking about silly? Oh that me and the girls decided to make you a dating account, because didn't have much luck finding the "one".” Rarity angrily sighed. “You know you should have asked me for permission before putting my info online!” She crossed her arms and looked away from her. Then RainbowDash laughed. “Why are you so upset, Rares? We're only trying to help. Maybe this might help you finally find your Prince Charming you’ve been wishing?” Applejack laughed. “Don’t kid Rainbow Dash, we ain't in a fairy tale.” Both of them continued laughing as Rarity ignored them and began pouting. She looked over to the Sunset who was sitting on the floor. “Did you, know about this?” Sunset looked up and shrugged. “Honestly I actually didn't know about this till now.” "Listen Rarity were just trying to help you find the right one for you alright? Why don't we relax and stop thinking about this and have fun, which is the reason why we came here in the first place." Twilight said. "FIne, I'll drop it for now. But we still need to talk about this." Rarity replied while pointing at the phone. "No that's been settled, why don't we have a little fun!" Pinkie yelled.
