Rarity's friends notice something bothering her, and it leads to her having to give a minor confession to them, she very much would prefer not to.

(if you like this or other stuff, I have a Ko-fi)

Or needed a very specific type of help.

If you have a problem, if no one else can help you, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... the Horse Team.

With a sigh, Rarity picked up her fork and... "thoroughly pierced" a tomato.

A lady does not stab.

"Well it's not like they ever bother to schedule themselves in advance with me or anything," Sunset retorted.

"I'm working on an app for that," said Twilight.

But when you have a moment where it would be more than opportune, and there is no way to have it occur.

"Rarity, speaking as someone who oeeps regular correspondence with Princss Twilight, this is starting to sojnd like you plan on making a magic problem."
"Hmm. Put a pin that, Sunset."
"That wasn't a suggestion."
"Wasn't it, though?"

Huh. First time I've seen that particular familial connection.

Like Hawaiian shirts and white spandex pants, both made of (*shudder*) synthetic materials.

As opposed to naturally occurring spandex. :raritywink:

I have to smile at Cinch's impossible standards for a spouse, given how I had her (very briefly) marry the human analogue of Discord.
Yeah, that didn't turn out well for either of them.

Very nice bit of human Rarity's personal history and working Cinch into it. To say nothing of the very vivid imagery of that poor innocent salad getting demolished. Thank you for a very interesting read.

The slap from AJ was something completely not warranted.

I think you misread it:

One of Rarity's hands went up to her mouth, covering with a small slap as her eyes went wide

Rarity slapped her hand over her own mouth to stop herself as she realized what she was saying.

REALLY good job on the exchanges, characterizations and backstory details in this one-shot. Yeah, I COULD see Cinch being the "relative most understandably want to avoid" in Rarity's family. Makes me wonder how she managed to snag Superintendent Sombra. Plus, the discussion of the way the "magical disasters" happen was excellent (as was the reaction to the fact that, for once, there was NO magical disaster at this particular event).

"I don't suppose we are going to have some sort of magical incident soon?" One manicured purple eyebrow rose higher. "Preferably something which shall take the majority of the weekend to deal with."

"Well it's not like they ever bother to schedule themselves in advance with me or anything," Sunset retorted. One of her own eyebrows raised in response. "Why?"

Sorry Rarity. If trouble came on time, it wouldn't be trouble.

Interesting story and good imagery.

The only plot hole is that fact that neither Cinch nor Rarity acknowledged each other in the movie.

If they had been related, they would've at least made reference to the other's presence, even if it was in a not particularly friendly way.

It's a good story and I wholeheartedly enjoyed reading it.

Although a few bits of dialogue seemed to contain a few grammatical errors

"You mean the same Principal Cinch that ruled Crystal Prep with an iron fist, forcing all the students to distrust each other, brought that same level of distrust to Canterlot High for The Friendship Games, was obsessed with winning more than anything, even the safety of her own students, pressured Twilight into using the magic she had collected that turned her into a insane if beautiful monster that tried to rip apart all of reality to try and understand magic -- no offense -- tried to flee instead of help her students when they actually were in danger, refused to take any blame in the events, and was eventually forced to resign and be replaced by Dean Cadance instead of being facing the consequences of her actions?" asked Pinkie Pie.

Might just to to add and/or subtract a few words here. Something like

"You mean the same Principal Cinch that ruled Crystal Prep with an iron fist, forcing all the students to distrust each other, brought that same level of distrust to Canterlot High for The Friendship Games, was obsessed with winning more than anything, even the safety of her own students, pressured Twilight into using the magic she had collected that turned her into a insane but beautiful monster that tried to rip apart all of reality to try and understand magic -- no offense -- tried to flee instead of help her students when they actually were in danger, refused to take any blame in the events, and was eventually forced to resign and be replaced by Dean Cadance instead of facing the consequences of her actions?" asked Pinkie Pie.

Or

"You mean the same Principal Cinch that ruled Crystal Prep with an iron fist, forcing all the students to distrust each other, brought that same level of distrust to Canterlot High for The Friendship Games, was obsessed with winning more than anything, even the safety of her own students, pressured Twilight into using the magic she had collected that turned her into a insane if not beautiful monster that tried to rip apart all of reality to try and understand magic -- no offense -- tried to flee instead of help her students when they actually were in danger, refused to take any blame in the events, and was eventually forced to resign and be replaced by Dean Cadance instead of being forced to face the consequences of her actions?" asked Pinkie Pie.

You should also add the questioning why Rarity is so eager for a magical problem and have them bring up on how she usually complains or for comedy whines about them

Also

"Okay," Applejack replied. "Easy, now Rares. No need for anyone to get forked over this."

This was my favorite line because I heard Applejack say forked in a Chinese accent

Keep up the good work

Unfortunately for Rarity, so was the reunion.

:raritycry:

Interesting backstory idea. Thanks for writing. Shame we didn't get to see the reunion itself. Sequel perhaps?

Edits!
