Single Awareness Day

by Forever Fangirl MLP

A Date with Fate

Rarity stood outside of the restaurant from the night before, a winter breeze passed by, and Rarity clutched her cloak closer to her coat. She had asked a stallion out on a date, and what had that brought her, only nerves of what to come. Suddenly a silhouette of a tall, stallion like stature trotted over to the restaurant, until the silhouette was in view just enough for Rarity to see the stallion from the night before. It was at that moment Rarity realized she didn’t even know the stallion’s name, much less who he was. In fact she had no evidence that he might be dangerous or not, and even if she didn't trust him, she trusted herself to handle any sort of problem she'd get into.

The stallion had reached the point at which Rarity was standing. She was wearing a cape similar to the night before, only this time red, with more sparkles and instead of simply the trim on the neck of the cape, she wore a long feather boa. Their stallion immediately recognized her and asked, "Are you the mare from last night?"
“Yes, that would be me; Rarity” she offered her hoof to shake, he shook it responding with his own name, “-Leaf, Leaf Oakland” he led her into the restaurant and the two were seated at a table for two.

Rarity, almost immediately started inquiring about the stallions interests, job, personality, and family. "So, what's your occupation?" She asked as can casually as she could. He continued to answer with a rant about the wildlife preserves he was involved in, and how they're team continued to preserve the wildlife in the area. “You see the trees planted within the area were grown so that a specific raccoon would migrate back to the area, you see they've been critically endangered for many years now, and my team wants to restore them to their natural well being...”
“Oh, well that's interesting” Rarity would add, also trying to emerge her own interests. "You see, I do a lot of work with animals, studying their fur and whatnot, so that I can make replicas, for fur coats." She stifled a laugh, " cause I'm a fashion-" "have you actually ever even heard about the endangered fox species that lives in one of our forests? He would interrupt her, it seemed to be an ongoing cycle of rarity saying something, only to be stopped by Leaf, and he would continue. The only time he was quiet was when their food came. Even then, he still managed to make remarks even while there was still food in his mouth,Which Rarity found utterly disgusting. She began to realize that although a gentle pony, He seemed to be more of AppleJack's type, that is if she wasn't already married to Rainbow Dash.

It was sad, Rarity had so much hope for the stallion, he seemed so perfect the night before, but even after a night his true colors showed, and the two just went meant to be together.

i could try again though... she thought to herself as she walked back to her house.
I just haven't found the right kind of guy yet, no matter, their is always more fish in the sea.

I suppose what I really need, is a prince...

By this time her thoughts cleared and she was left with blank silence bouncing around inside her head, interrupted, not by a flood of Forest information, but by the sound of loud hoof steps behind her. She sensed a chill through her spine, her fur stood up on her neck, but it wasn’t from fear. Instead, from the recognition she could feel from the hoof steps. She slowly turned around to see if her suspicions were correct. A stallion stood in the completely empty streets, the faint gloss of fog surrounded them in the dark, cold city. She felt a lump in her throat as the stallion threw the hood of his cloak off, his face was all too recognizable to Rarity. He had long flowing golden blonde hair, and a coat as bright white as Luna’s moon. His cheesy smile was of course the most distinct thing about him. Rarity stood awestruck before whispering under her breath, “Prince Blueblood”

She knew, based on countless times he was a jerk, that he was not perfect for her, that she should just leave now not even bothering to try to date him, or make things up between them. He probably didn’t remember her anyways. After all, The prince met beautiful mares every day, what chance was there that he’d remember her, or the times he was unfair to her. “I should have just left,” she whispered. And began to turn the corner once again.

“Rarity?” He called out to the mare. She flinched and turned to face him. “Blueblood.” She quietly spoke, in a rude, passive aggressive tone. “Why are you in Ponyville?” “Royal business, I saw you dining with someone else at the Ponyville restaurant” He said, changing the subject.
“I’m allowed to dine with whomever I want to, and how do YOU even remember ME.” She replied saltily at the royal unicorn in front of her.

He hesitated before responding, “I assumed you’d miss me, you seem as though you’ve moved on,”
“I have indeed moved on...” she mumbled.
“Why are you here, what do you want with me, I know you don’t love me, so what is it you want here?” Despite her quiet tone of voice, Blueblood heard and responded, “I told you royal business,”

“But I would like to offer you a chance, I know of my actions in the past, but I assure you I am a changed stallion, please accept my offer of gratitude when I ask you to join me for a-“ Rarity finished his sentence. “-a date?” Blueblood nooded.

I’ve already learned not to trust him, but he does say he’s changed, and I have to give him that. Besides, Hearts and Hooves tomorrow, and I want to make it perfect, this year I actually want to have a special somepony.

“Alright, Blueblood, if you so wish as to go on a date with me, I accept.” He took his hoof on his own and he walked with her to a large clearing of trees, where the winter moon showed bright throughout the dim sky. He sat on the grass, and motioned for Rarity to sit with him. “It’s not much of a date, per say, but it is something, and something seems better than nothing,”
The two sat silently staring into the bright moonlight. Rarity took the time to contemplate her feelings, He is handsome but has his personality changed enough? He definitely doesn’t seem like the old Blueblood. Maybe I should just give Leaf Oakland another chance...Still, why him? Why me?

“I know your answer simply will be Royal business, but I’m still going to ask you anyways,” She sighed before continuing. “Why are you here?”

Without looking away from the stars, Blueblood responded. “I’m here because you don’t think that your good enough being single, you think you need to rush into a relationship right before Hearts and Hooves Day, so that’s why I’m here, so you don’t have to suffer through ‘Single Awareness Day’ “

She immediately turned to face him, she stared deep into his eyes, as the pony faded from existence, in a magenta glow. Rarity watched the stallion disappear before her very eyes, in dumbfounded amazement. As she watched she whispered to herself the words that Fluttershy had said to her only a day before, “And remember you can make a family out of anyone, It’s never too late to find that somepony that makes your life complete,” That family was her friends, her business, and the happiness she could bring to creatures worldwide. She didn’t have to rush into a relationship to have a family of her own, she already had one waiting for her.

Twilight, and the rest of the Mane Six , we’re standing behind a grove of trees near the grassy clearing, Twilight had her horn lit up, creating a hologram of Prince BlueBlood, it was Fluttershy’s idea, but Twilight executed the plan, and Pinkie, AppleJack and RD supervised. They wanted Rarity to have the Best Hearts and Hooves day she possibly could, and it started here.

Author's Note:

Omg I’m so sorry this is so late. But to be fair, I’ve had writers block for a week, and pretty much changed the entire ending of the fanfic in like two hours. Sooooooooo yeah it’s very rushed, also I know I said there'd be four chapters, but because of the ending, I shortened it to three, so I could get it out by Valentine’s Day, Anyways thanks for reading, and have a great day!

I wanted to show that it wasnt actually Blueblood but actually just a hologram to teach Rarity a lesson, that lesson being that she doesn’t need to have a BF for Hearts and Hooves day

[Coco Candy]

This was a very cute story, I love it!

Oof. Grammer and a serious need of editing kills this story for me. I tried, I really did. But I can't even finish the first chapter. Not even halfway through it.

I don't know if it's the fact that the paragraphs are in the middle of the screen, which never looks good, or something more. But there it is.

Thank you for your feedback, I plan to go back and edit all of the grammar mistakes sion, and as for the formatting I had a lot of technology errors while writing it, so I plan to also go back and fix that as well, but again thanks so much for the feedback!
