Rarity (Chapter 20)

I didn't want to interfere with anypony's private buisness, but what else could I do? I reached out, and lightly tapped on the lower window, not expecting much of an answer. The arguing ceased, and I could have sworn I heard more than two voices whispering to each other. One of them sounded very familiar...

Fluttershy was getting more and more anxious, almost like she was expecting an evil force to attack us at that very moment!

"Oh...Rarity...please...open the door already..." She whimpered

All I could hear was a mushed up chorus of voices: I couldn't make what they were saying, and neither could Fluttershy (I asked her if she understood them, but she was too busy trying to hide under me to hear the words coming out of my mouth. (I had to gently shove her away with my elbow to keep her from slipping under me). After four to five minutes of "organized chaos" (not to mention the banging and scuffling coming from Rarity's house), I heard a faint *click*, and figured Rarity was unlocking the door. She was.

Since Rarity had never seen me before, I decided to push Fluttershy ahead of me, and back away into the musky shadows of the front porch. I didn't want Rarity to freak out (I've had plenty of that). Fluttershy hesitated at first, but then let it happen (or maybe she gave up her struggle, I don't know. She was still trying to hide from who knows what).

The door opened (wide), spilling bright, cheery light all over the gloomy porch. There stood Rarity in all her glory. She was wearing a fashionable sleeping gown, and had a large amount of teal-colored hair curlers neatly resting on her head.

"Fluttershy! What are you doing out so late...? Come in, come in! I have something want to show you... Oh, you look simply fabulous!! Have you been applying that new facial cream I bought you? Hmm?" she chimed, while firmly embracing Fluttershy in one of her friendly hugs (she didn't seem to notice me, even though I was positioned right behind Fluttershy.)

"I um..." is all Fluttershy said (not too talkative).

After a minute or two of Rarity's senseless jabbering, she finally averted her gaze, just in time to meet mine. I was a bit restless: a modest sneer found it's way onto my face (I was afraid I was developing a character similar to Rainbow Dash's: Cocky and rude).

"Oh my!" she exclaimed "Who is this? Why, I've never seen him before! Fluttershy, you never told me you-"

"Oh, no...we're not..." I said, embarrassed. "We decided to drop by for a visit!"

"my condolences..." Said Rarity, with a smug expression on her face.

I've never seen Fluttershy so red in my entire life (even though I haven't seen her much). Cheeks flaming, she stepped into the room, and slipped behind a crate, which was overflowing with stylish hats (Rarity hadn't noticed a thing, of course).

Rarity pulled me inside, slammed the door shut, and proceeded to the kitchen. She beckoned to us to follow. I nudged Fluttershy out from behind the crate with my nose, and gently pushed her towards the kitchen. Rarity sat us around a small, round table. I decided to tell Rarity who I really am, and why I'm here.

After a few minutes of "I see", "Uh-huh" and "So that's why your mane is so, so rainbow-colored! Hah!", a series of loud bangs and crashes reached my ears (presumably from upstairs), soon followed by a loud "Darn it! Nuthin' yet!"

I could sense the anger boiling up inside Rarity: Her face turned from snow-white to bright-red. It looked like her temper had finally reached the brim of her rickety patience. she yelled at the top of her lungs:

"SWEETIE BELLE, WE HAVE GUESTS!!! YOU'RE EMBARRASSING ME... TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO STAY QUIET!!!"

A small head peeked out from behind the kitchen corner. As soon as I saw that large, pink hair bow, I knew who it was: Applebloom. It looked like the cutie mark crusaders were having another sleepover at Rarity's.

"Mr. Dash! What are ya' doin' here?" she squealed in her usual, high-pitched southern voice.

She zipped past Rarity (Rarity had gotten up from the table, and was heading upstairs to have a talk with Sweetie Belle, about her behavior and such...), and leaped onto onto me at full speed, laughing. I wasn't expecting such a response, and she knocked the air out of my lungs, causing me to *OOMF* (even for a filly, she was quite heavy) After mercilessly trampling me, she looked up, and noticed Fluttershy (Fluttershy was in the state of shock: her eyes were bulging, and her intense breathing reminded me of Dashie, gasping for air after one of our morning jogs).

"Fluttershah'! You're here too! How excitin'! We're gonna have so much fun!" She shouted.

"U-um...o-okay..." Gulped Fluttershy.

I was curious whether Scootaloo was present (because I hadn't seen her before), so I asked:

"Um, Applebloom, are all the cutie mark crusaders sleeping over at Rarity's house?"

"Wah', of course we are! It's a tradition! Every Saturday we gather our things, and head over to Sweetie Belle's! Ah' can introduce you to them! I bet Scootaloo will go nuts when she sees ya'! Ya' gotta meet the rest of the cutie mark crusaders!" She replied.

I couldn't help but smile at the exhilarating expression on Applebloom's face, and, not to mention, her large, twinkling, expressive eyes.

Rarity's obnoxious voice could be heard once again as she was herding the rest of gang downstairs:

"Now! You two learn to behave yourselves in front of our guest! I don't want any of you to make a bad first impression to Rainbow's father!"

"You mean the Rainbow Dash? The coolest, and the most awesome pony in Ponyville?!" Squeaked a rather familiar voice (I guessed that was Scootaloo, even though she sounded a bit different, not what I had expected at first).

Here they come, straight into the kitchen. First came Rarity, then Sweetie Belle, then Scootaloo. Scootaloo's eyes lit up with excitement when she saw me.

"WOW! You're Rainbow Dash's father!" I-I can't believe you're here, in Ponyville!" She said nervously (with a jumpy voice).

She flapped her tiny wings (I was amazed that she still couldn't fly), creating a soft hum. She dashed past Rarity and Sweetie Belle, mouth gaping, eyes shining. She stopped short, inches away from my legs, and slowly circled around me, admiring every aspect of my "so-similar-to-Rainbow Dashness". You couldn't imagine how shocked she was when she noticed I didn't have a cutie mark.

"Why don't you have a cutie mark...?" She yelped

"It's hard to explain..." I replied.

"Y-you're just like her! I-I can't believe it!" she cried out. "This is so awesome! You can join the Cute mark crusaders, and find your special talent!"

She excitedly hugged Applebloom, and flopped onto the floor from exhaustion.

"Really...? Scootaloo, please...No reason to get all excited!" Said Rarity, while fixing her hair curlers (she looked quite silly, yet venerable). "Mr. Dash won't ever join your silly little group!'

"I'll consider it, kid!" I said, while patting Scootaloo on the head.

I was overflowing with excitement. How many bronies get to meet the cutie mark crusaders in person...? (Not to mention: Rarity and Fluttershy) I think I was almost as excited as Scootaloo! I felt a slight tug on my mane, and I looked down to see Sweetie Belle, who was smiling like crazy.

"Well, sis and I talked about it, and we decided that everypony should get together, and go visit Rainbow Dash in Canterlot Castle! It'll be so much fun! How about it?"



*Author's note*: As you have probably guessed, I'm getting near the end of this story (not the end of the general storyline, though). If you want me to keep on stretching the plot out, or if you want me to end this quicker, please leave a comment! Thanks bro /)^3^(\!
