Chapter 1 Sleep

(Rain hitting ceiling and a flash of thunder appears)

The entire boutique was empty for the most part, save for a single young mare who continued to work well into the hours of the night, working on her latest creation

A beautifully designed purple dress with a soft blue scarf and similar colored stockings adorning the legs, and gems placed delicately on the skirt of the dress

With a content sigh and a small aura of light casting from her horn, Rarity looked upon her creation with admiration and love, knowing that she created yet another masterpiece that even the princesses themselves would be impressed by

It's a shame I have to sell such a beautiful sight, she thought to herself as she brushed a bit of her mane back into place, But a dress that isn't sold is a loss in profits

As she ceased to cast the magical aura of light from her horn, she walked over to her window and looked out at Ponyville, hoping to see the pegasi teams working to stop the heavy downpours

Only for another flash of lightning and more rain to greet her sight

Oh well, she thought to herself, still staring outside at the puddle infested grounds she called home, the

The Pegasi had said this going to be as large as the last large storm to hit Ponyville

The storm had in fact been said to be quite large, but hadn't stated that it would last for three days on end

And drench every corner of Ponyville in water and mud

The thought of being out there in this storm made Rarity shiver and cringe slightly, as the thought of her mane and coat being either soaked in water or tripping into mud

Or even getting sick out there with the cold winds and getting even more soaked
How could anypony stand such a-

"What was that?!" She said out loud as she noticed a black pony-like figure in the darkness quickly disappear back into an ally between two homes, each brightly lit with presumably a fire

Rarity, who had just seen the same figure before, ran back to the door and locked it, fearing that something may happen to her or the dress she had placed so much time and effort into, and ran back to the window to search for the mysterious figure

"Nothing" she said aloud after concluding that nothing had in fact been outside and her mind was, once again, playing tricks on her

Again

It wasn't the first time Rarity had seen the Pony or Stallion either

Before, she simply believed it was just some type of pony who went out to get groceries or even her mind playing tricks on her for a lack of sleep from the dress, and soon after, she began to accept it

But this was the first three or so times

And this... Was the sixth time she had seen it

It's okay Rarity, calm down... Its nothing, just another figment of your imagination again. Nothing a good bed nights rest won't cure! She thought as she lifted the blankets up in her aura of magic, got into her bed, and rested the blankets back over her, encasing her with warmth and protection

With one last look of the dress, she let out a yawn and let sleep slowly take her into her own mind

(Multiple voices whisper)
He smiled.
