Chapter Nine
After returning home with Connor after the sleepover, the day seems to speed by as fast as Rainbow when she is in a race, and now the time draws near for the gala to arrive. I watch him with a warm smile on my face while he eats a tomato sandwich I wanted to fix him before we leave for the event. There is a feeling of affection I have for the little darling which flows through my heart, and I can’t fight it.
Oh no. Please tell me you aren’t considering what I think you are considering.
Would you please be quiet?! I don’t know what I am going to do about Connor yet. Besides, why do you care so much about my decision concerning the care of this sweet child?
I just don’t want to see you throw all the years of hard work you have put into your career as fashonista away over a little kid. Also, he is going to embarrass you at the gala. Just imagine all those high class, sophisticated Canterlot ponies would be gawking, and gossiping about how a top notch clothes designer has lowered herself by taking in foreign creatures. Even worse, what if they would to say you have lowered yourself by taking in a lowly peasant.
“Shut up…shut up…shut up!” I yell, clenching my eyes shut, and slamming my hooves down on the table releasing my frustration. I’ve had enough of this nagging voice inside my head jabbing away at me with it’s narcissistic remarks, and hurtful words about Connor. Suddenly I hear the shatter of glass, and I shoot my eyes open to look over at the child with a look of fear in his eyes, trembling like a leaf, and I turn to see his glass of apple juice on the floor.
“Please Ms. Rarity, don’t hurt me. I didn’t mean to… it was an accident.” He lets out a whimper, and huddles himself up into a ball on the chair.
My heart aches as I see him like this as I levitate a dish rag over to wipe up the spilt juice, and levitate it into the laundry room to be washed later. I then levitate the broom and dustpan over to sweep up the broken glass, and throw away in the garbage. I turn my attention to Connor still trembling in his chair, and I carefully trot over to him.
He is whimpering, shuddering with sobs, and hugging his torso with his little arms. I see his small lips quivering, and I feel tears sting my eyes. I lift a hoof up, and gently stroke at his side to maybe try and calm him down.
“Connor darling, I would never hurt you for making a mess, and it was just a little one. Please sweetheart, calm down.” I give him a warm, reassuring smile, and I can feel him start to calm his shaking under the touch of my hoof as I continue to stroke at his side. I sit down on my haunches by the chair, looking at him softly “I am so sorry precious for yelling like that earlier, and scaring you.”
He carefully sits up in the chair, reaching up with a hand to wipe at his eyes, where a couple tears shed. He folds his hands in his lap, looking up into my eyes “N…no Ms. Rarity, you don’t need to be sorry for anything. I’m sorry for making a mess…I didn’t mean to.” He lowers his head to look down at his lap.
I use my hoof to rub up and down his back soothingly. I lean my head down to try and look into his eyes, until I spot silent tears rolling down his cheeks. I feel him shake under the touch of my hoof, and I can’t help but immediately pull him against my chest. I stroke at his side, laying my head on top of his, and making soft shushing sounds into his mane.
Aw…c’mon, not now. There is just a few minutes left until you have to meet your friends at Twilight’s, and leave for the gala. Do you have to do this now with the kid? He is a real baby.
You know what, for a voice of the mind, you sure do sound purely infantile. Now please silence yourself so I can give this child some comfort. There is something obviously bothering him, and you are just being senseless.
I let out a heavy sigh, stroking at the little darling’s side a little more, before carefully pulling him back to look down into his tear-stained eyes. I levitate a tissue over to wipe away at the tears on his cheeks, and I give him a warm smile. “Do you feel better now Connor?” I continue to hold him in my foreleg, with his back laying against the crook.
He sniffles, looking up at me, and gives me a light nod. “Yes Ma’am.” I smile warmly down at him, and give him a gentle kiss on the forehead.
“Sweetheart, may I ask you something?” He looks up at me and gives me a light nod. “Why do you think I would ever hurt you for making a simple mistake, such as spilling your apple juice? Does it have to do with that ‘Sir’ you told me about last night?”
His small lips quiver as he looks up at me, giving me a solemn nod. “Yes Ma’am.” He takes in a deep breath, shuddering a little, but I keep him wrapped in my foreleg, and stroke at his side. “When I would make a mess, Sir would yell at me, calling me a useless brat, and said that I was a waste of fresh air.” He shudders harder against my foreleg, and I pull him close against me.
He sniffles, looking up at me, and I feel tears stinging my eyes as I listen for him to continue “Sometimes he would… he would…” He becomes silent as he lowers his head again to look at his folded hands in his lap.
I stroke at his side soothingly “It’s okay darling, you can tell me. What would he do?” I lean in to nuzzle at his head comfortably.
He inhaled deeply, exhaling deeply, and continued. “He would beat me with his big leather belt.” He cries out as he turns to me, wrapping his arms tightly around my neck, but it doesn’t hurt me at all.
I immediately wrap him up with both of my forelegs, laying my head on his shoulder, with his on mine, and I feel him shaking hard with sobs. I hold him close with one foreleg, and rub along his back softly with the other one. “Oh, you poor baby, I am so sorry Connor you had to endure that.” I can’t hold my tears in any longer, and I allow them to roll down my cheeks.
I turn my head to gently kiss at his cheek, as I feel him release his tears into my fur. “Shh…. It’s okay darling, you don’t nothing to be afraid of anymore. I’ll protect you Connor…Shh.” I stroke along his back some more.
How dare that ruffian hurt such a precious little child?!
After several more minutes of holding Connor close, rubbing his back soothingly, and gently cooing to him, he is finally able to calm down. I give him a warm smile as he turns his head to look at me. “It’s okay precious, everything will be alright, I promise.” I give him a tender kiss on the forehead, and I gently levitate him onto my back.
I turn to smile softly at him “Now let’s go get dressed for the gala, and we will meet the girls at Twilight’s, okay sweetheart?” He gives me a light nod, and I trot out of the kitchen to head to my inspiration room.
I’m going to have to talk with the others and the princess tonight after the gala, but it looks like I have a choice to make.
Next chapter is the gala, and expect a certain bratty, arrogant, and snobbish prince to be present.

Bluecheese is gonna be here?! I can FINALLY have that target practice I've always wanted!
Not that arrogant prince!
Well I guess Sir is going to be having a visitor soon.

Burn Him!
*cough* sorry let celestia ban him to the sun!
would you like the bitch slapped blueblood, the voodoo doll or the banished to the sun
Hmmmm, One moment please! *Flips through his copy of "Administering Justice in a Crap Sack World" by Tyrion Lannister* Ah here we are! *Put's down book and then grabs a bottle of wine with a gloved hand, uncorks it adds in more than enough iocaine powder to ensure lethality, and recorks it*
Tell the good prince I have a gift for him, a wine that befits his station and is simply to die for!
i bet blueblood beat him
Blueblood at the Gala + Connor at the Gala + Blueblood being Blueblood = oh sh*t.
I, unfortunately, doubt that Blueblood is going to run into Conner without causing a scene. Only one thing to do...
Rarity Rage Shift Time!!! Let's see Bluebutt walk away from that!!!
Please please PLEEEEASE let Rarity buck "Sir" into next week!
So Blueblood will be there? well then let me give him a warning.
Blueblood, If you say one hurtful thing to Rarity or Connor, This is what will happen to you.

No, not "Him". I don't think I can handle another chapter from any fic with that half-blood prince.
Conner well be welcomed no matter what, I don't care what snobby prince says.
WHY DOES THE VOICE HAVE TO BE SO CRUEL!
3097391 Oh, I know. However, it might show up a couple more times before Rarity decides to finally shut it up for good.
3096780 indeed he will.
Prince Blueblood can say all he wants, but it won't matter.
3096548 Snape puts him to shame any day. No one can take the title of Half-Blood Prince, but Snape.
3096239 Say hello to GunsNRoses' little friend Blueblood.
3096225 Oh, there will be more of Sir, and I promise, if you thought Flutterrage was something about protecting Toby, wait until you see the wrath of Lady Rarity.
3096087 Oh, I promise there will be Rarity Rage if Blueblood tries to mess with Connor.
3096047 You shall see my friend, you shall see.
3095833 Ooh, wine.
3095687 Oh, I think a bitch slap from Rarity will be justice enough if Blueblood decides to do something.
3095577 Well, you will just have to find out.
3095474 hehe.. yep, but indeed sweet of Sweetie Belle to say that to Connor.
3095441 As a prince, you would think he would act on his best behavior, especially if his aunt is one of the rulers of Equestria.
3095377 He just might.
3095324 Yep, that arrogant no good excuse for a prince.
3095293 Haha.. Bluecheese. I love that.
3095281 Yes, I mean "Him".
3095280 That is going to be something very special, I promise.
3097736 Poetic where did you hide my katana so i can murder the man who hurt connor th06.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2013/059/2/e/the_eternal_mangekyou_sharingan_by_fluxman1-d5whqdl.jpg
3097736 Where did I put my kraken button I had it on my desk but now it's gone...aw well I have other methods to have...fun with Sir
hmmm I have my suspicions about that voice. Buuut, I doubt they'll amount to anything.
3097736 ok
oh boy if that bastard of a prince even lays a finger on his head. i'll be sure to make his life a living hell for him. that's not a threat but a promise
I have know a idea, how this 'Sir' is.
When i get my Hooves on him... I dont promise, he will survive!

Everybody be on the lookout for this asshole! Sir, has hurt the wrong little boy because this is why:cdn.meme.li/i/9nc6x.jpg
HE WILL DIE BY MY SLEDGEHAMMER TO HIS FACE TO COLD HARD CONCRETE!!!

WHILE RIPPING HIS FACE OF WITH MY RAZOR DIPPED IN ALCOHOL & LYE I WILL SING A SONG!
[youtube=http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bjswc9AKdOQ]
I WILL DEVOUR HIS SOUL!!!
3103295 Hey now, don't compare the Monopoly Guy to Prince Blueblood. The Monopoly Guy is cool. Also, Chuck Norris is the original badass!
3102877 I will keep you to that promise too.
3102190 Oh, you might have to wait in line, because our favorite fashionista won't have any of it. The Wrath of Rarity shall be unleashed!
3097826 I would like to hear your suspicions though. You never know, there might be a reasoning to that nagging inner voice.
3103132 Epic... just Epic!
3103966 Sorry I didn't eat breakfast so I was a little hungry...
3103710 oh don't worry just make sure their's enough for me after she's done
3104233 Don't worry there will be.
3104255 swwwweeeeeeeeeeeettttttt
3103710 I was thinking someone might be purposefully getting in her head and trying to set her against Conner. Maybe Nightmare Moon, Sombra, Chrysalis, or someone else entirely. Although currently I'm not sure what their motivation would be.
3106176 You never know, you might be right. you shall see though.
I swear by all the evils of Tartarus, I shall smite Blueblood if he says or does anything to hurt Connor more than he has already been hurt, and heavens help this 'Sir' if I should ever meet him. I WILL PERSONALLY RIP OUT HIS STILL BEATING HEART AND SHOW HIM HOW BLACK IT IS BEFORE HE DIES!!
3112063 I'd like to join you in tearing out his heart, but unfortunately I doubt he ever had one.
3143469
Then we'll settle for his guts.
Huh, this Sir is a big ole dick-lick, isn't he?
I wonder what his personality is like. With a name like Sir, I can't help but think "BLUEBLOOD CARBON COPY."
Speaking of Blueblood...YAY! He's appearing soon!
3095293 Is he on "The List"?
3095577
Come on. He's such a fun loving guy!
Does the fact that its a leather belt make his punishment sound worse to ponies?
I known what that voice is it's her alter ego greed
it must have served somehow.
3161782 I shall use my mastery over shadows and darkness to show him how black his heart is, and then you can maim and dismember him. But before you kill him, I get to show him the true meaning of Fear. How's that sound?
3096548 Half-blood? Try chicken blood.
3097736
Oh.....Sh*t.
3095577 Um he was in the show three times not one time, of course he didn't speak either of those times.
Pink text is mean!!!!!!
no I'm not, I'm rational
Leave rarity alone
6652757 Umm... The text is purple, not pink.
Where is this pink at?
The sir's abuse to Conner reminds me of my childhood when my mom beats me with a lether belt
but that is all the past when I teach my mom a lesson ... It was worth it
