True Harmony

Are You Really Rarity?

They arrived at the building in roughly two minutes, just as long as Rainbow had guess it would take. The building in question was covered in a soft fabric that was decorated in hearts. The hearts were a vibrant red color, and they covered every inch of the fabric, interspaced so as to leave almost no base color visible. As they walked into the building, they found that the inside was no better; fabric everywhere - from striped to spotted. The walls had all kinds of color decorated on them, but it was heavy in greens and blues. They were overwhelmed by all the color to notice a pony walking over to them.

“Hello? Can I help you, ladies?”

They stopped looking around at the decor to see who it was that had address them; a purple haired mare had walked through in front of them. She had a brilliant sapphire blue coat and emerald colored eyes. Her cutie mark was a large amber colored gem with a sewing needle around it. They all looked at her and thought to themselves was this must be the pony they were looking for; this must be Rarity. Rainbow broke the silence that was creeping in on them and answered the mare,

“Do we need help? Yeah, we actually need a lot of that right now.”

The mare looked at her oddly, but brushed the comment off and inquired,

“Does your friend need any help? She looks sick, or something?”

She pointed her head at Twilight, who was sleeping over Applejack’s back mumbling to herself. Applejack looked at Twilight and then back to the mare’

“Who her? She’s fine, just plum tuckered out.”

“Oh okay, if you say so. So why are you in my shop today? Do you ladies need a new dress or a necklace made?”

Fluttershy looked around and noticed some glass cases with jewelry in them and dresses hanging on some racks. Fluttershy noticed them and something in her head clicked.

“Umm, excuse me miss, but is your name Rarity?”

The mare looked at the yellow pegasus and hesitated before answering

“Well yes, my name is Rarity. But how do you know that? I was under the impression only Canterlot ponies knew of my brand of fashion? Are you high end fashion ponies here for my fashion?”

The five looked at her and grouped together, Fluttershy whispering’

“You think she's the right pony?”

“I dunno, I don’t trust her. Besides she hesitated to answer you Fluttershy.”

“True.” Fluttershy nodded.

Pinkamena looked over at their host, as the pony who was claiming to be Rarity looked at them like they had there heads. Pinkamena put her head down back into her circle of friends,

“Well she’s all we got after hours of searching. Besides, can any of you remember what Rarity looks like?”

They all looked at each other knowing what Pinkamena said was true none of them remembered what Rarity really looked like; just that her mane was purple and she was into fashion. Pinkamena said in a smug voice, “That’s what I thought.”

“Ok smarty pants, what do we do? Ask her to come with us. Or do we grab her and run.”
Rainbow said, annoyance sinking into her voice

They thought out what to do, and both options were bad. The first one would have her turn them down, the second one was ponynapping, but they had to do something this, and this mare alone was who they needed. They broke apart and Fluttershy asked

“So um, Rarity, we need you to come with us. To help stop the princesses and Discord.”

Rarity looked at Fluttershy, her face was colored with concern as she answered her
“Um stop the princesses from doing what? And that, that thing Discord I wouldn’t go near a ruffin like that. Besides why should I help you guys?”

“Well - we need you and we have to stop the princesses from fighting and changing the day and night cycle. What you said about Discord is just rude, he is probably a nice guy. Maybe.”

Fluttershy said in her defence, Rarity looked at her and turned away from them, walking towards her back room. Rainbow dash, flew in front of her and asked

“Hey where do you think you’re going?”

“I’m going into my back room and getting away from you ponies. None for you are here for my shop. So I don’t have to help you with anything.”

Applejack yelled

“Wait! Don’t do that. If you come with us, we’ll buy everythan’ in your shop!”

Rarity stopped moving towards the back and looked at her wide eyed, she had to pick her ear a bit and asked,

“What did you just say?”

“I said we’ll...We’ll buy everythan’ you got in this here shop.”

Rarity’s jaw dropped as she looked at them as she mumbled to herself how they would buy everything in her shop. She fell over onto the teddy bear patterned floor, as the other ponies looked at her. The gang looked at her and sighed as Rainbow said
“Pick her up Pinkamena and let's go to the castle before she wakes up and makes us buy everything, like Applejack said we would.”

Pinkamena picked up Rarity and put her onto her back, as Applejack defended herself against Rainbow’s comment. They left the heart patterned building, now with two ponies being carried on another ponies’ back.

A few blocks away from the shop they left they heard a scream a bloodcurdling scream that could make your skin crawl. Rainbow Dash bolted towards the building where the scream came from as Pinkamena yelled

“What are you doing we need to get to the castle not to that scream!”

“I can’t just leave somepony in trouble. Besides you heard that scream this pony really needs help.”

Pinkamena rolled her eyes as she saw Applejack and Fluttershy follow Rainbow Dash down the road to the scream. They came to a store that was striped on the outside and was covered in all sorts of fabric from silks to fleece in many different colors. A boulder sat upon the outside of the building, it was shaped like a diamond. They heard the scream again as they ran into the shop, the doors opened and they saw the inside of the store they saw it was in a total state of insanity. The clothing was alive and having a tea party in the center of the shop while a small group of cat hats where in the corner eating acorn bugs. They heard a scream come from back of the store, yelling

“Help somepony, anypony! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH”

Rainbow bolted for the back as the rest followed her with Applejack and Pinkamena bring up the rear since they was carrying extra weight. What they saw was something they couldn’t believe the boots and other shoes in the store had two mares tied up and was about to throw them into a boiling pot of hot water.
