Rarity has always had the glamour, charm, and beauty to turn heads and attract any stallion, yet she has always had trouble actually finding one she could call her special somepony. After all, she has a tendency to overwork herself, she can be a tad dramatic, and she has impossibly high standards.
So when she hears Pinkie tell of the Choosing Stone, a magical rock near her family's rock farm that can help a pony find their special somepony, well... Rarity doesn't really need the help, but every little bit helps, right?
...Right?

Good Start. I like the way this is going.
And I hate it when an idea won't leave you alone.
Romance could come in many flavors. Decide the flavor, maybe even platonic, the characters and stick with going off of a friendship into something more intimate, either make it awkward, built it up fast or have it slowly progress into it. How do you want these two character to care for one another, what would they do for one another that they wouldn't do for almost anyone else? What do they do that annoy each other, what do they do that the other likes, what do they find attractive about their partner that makes them never want to be too far apart? Can they easily upset one another over something small and insignificant?
Writing romance isn't too hard to do. Use guidelines as much as you want, but you don't need to stick to them.

Thanks for that SC14, and for the fav.
And yeah, good ideas are such a curse

Thanks for the advice Darkonshadows. I do have a rough idea where I want to take the story, so my real concern is making it feel real and not making it sound cringey, as I really don't have much experience to draw on.
But I hope you liked it so far and that the future chapters go well

She is going to get paired up with the Choosing Stone itself, isn't she? Because a rock is her destiny.
Holy crap. I wish I could write a ten thousand word chapter. Good work my friend.

Me: Right, I'm pretty sure I've finished writing this chapter. got all the essential parts, now I just need to fill in the gaps.
