This story is a sequel to Clear as Blood: A Detective Rarity Mystery

The crime? Murder.

The suspect? Our client.

The culprit?

That would be a lot easier to determine if they'd just let Rarity do her job.

Reading the previous stories is not necessary to enjoy this one, but will provide additional context.

Nothing's wrong with me, I know it. I'm Rainbow Dash, fastest flier in all of Equestria. There isn't anything out there that I can't do, except apparently find a pony of my own.

Even the Gala let me down.

But I have a feeling that everything is going to change soon. I don't know what it is, but I just know that somepony is going to sweep me off my feet...

Pre-reader

Rainbow Dash hates letting Rarity plan their dates. When she does, they always end up going to lame places like fashion shows, the spa, and exotic boutiques.

Or places like Fashion Land, the most boring, annoying, fru-fru frilly amusement park in Equestria.

Rainbow must fight an evil chair that attacks her! (it is very evil)

Written as part of a personal speedwriting challenge with goal of "writing bad intentionally". I didn't exactly succeed but this exists now.

Now with an audio-reading by StraightToThePointStudio!

After an afternoon of trying to fit a dress onto Rainbow Dash, Rarity finds that her friend has a secret, so Rarity takes it upon herself to discover what that secret is.

Apparently, she possesses the auspicious accolade of having the most lewds of any fictional character. For once, Twilight was not pleased to learn something.

Now with a video reading!

As many in Equestria would claim with a perfectly straight face, things do in fact go bump in the night, but it's not always what one would expect. Unfortunately for Rarity, she's in for a major surprise in the morning on behalf of Rainbow Dash's mischievous but relatively simple prank.

Just a little something for April Fool's and to kill writer's block. Blame the caffeine.

Rarity is certain that this trip to the mall will go well. Rainbow Dash is a street-wise, socially aware pony, and has been to malls before. Nothing could go wrong, right? It's not as if Rainbow Dash intentionally causes trouble....

Read the prequels! That is, um... if that's okay with you.

At 6 pages long, Butterflies with Wings of Diamond isn't very long, but what it lacks in space I like to think it makes up for substance. It's short but sweet, and I hope you enjoy it!
