After agreeing to Twilight's proposal of having a date in an alternate universe, Rarity finds herself contemplating many things, including but not limited to: what it means to be a human, how are you supposed to walk on two legs, meeting teenage versions of yourself and your friends, and last but not least, questioning your entire relationship and the nature of soulmates.
Going on an inter-dimensional date with her marefri—sorry, girlfriend—was not supposed to lead to the existential crisis of a lifetime, but there was Rarity anyway.
Set in the same continuity as "The Swap". Absolutely not set in the same continuity as "Your Own Worst Enemy".

also here is a screenshot just to prove how long I've been working on this godforsaken fic

Well this should fun. For us. Not necessarily Twi and Rarity.

HYPE HYPE HYPE
Now I understand why Rainbow was going to that show with Rares, lol.

Secret bonus RariTwi 👀
This is absolutely delightful so far. I do so love it when you just write the characters being their charming selves and playing off of one another, and I could read these kinds of interactions forever without getting bored.
Ooohh this is great!
Nice story. Looking forward to seeing more.
lol
Forgot about this moment from your earlier descriptions in chat. I still love it.
This is really enjoyable so far, and makes me want to see more now.
'Absolutely not' -eyes-
THE DAY HAS COME AT LAST. \o/
Loved it and look forward to more!
"Ah, a keyboard. How quaint."
Yes! Finally you’re posting it!
I love this so much <3
I've read the synopsis without looking at the author, clicked 'next', blinked. 'Hey, it really feels like a a Monochromatic thing.' And decided to double-check. Well, what do you know.
Clock is ticking Mono. Clock. Is. Ticking.
Yay, new RariTwi from Mono! This'll be fun.
And now we get to the good stuff.
Well, Rare didn't have a fainting spell when she went through the gate, so good for her. Though her confusion at learning about SciPie and RariDash is understandable if she's assuming everything works the same between universes.
I’m always up for multiversal shenanigans. All the more so when you’re making them. Eagerly looking forward to seeing where this goes from here.
(Also, I consider that Celestia swap to be the canon EqG finale. Goodness knows we never got anything else.)
Yes, there is going to be quite some angsting about soulmates, isn't there? (And Rarity may have a point, assuming everyone has the same parents...)
This is adorable. And shenanigan'y. Can barely wait for more
Oh those couples. Much drama shall be had!!!
Sooo you're blackmailing *yourself* Mono? Ordered two copies of your books by the way.
This is a miracle
You can do it, Mono!
That was really fun! I'm excited for more.
Thanks for the chapter!
Gasp! 😱
The mention of Princess Celestia using a computer had me thinking of Scotty in Star Trek.

It wasn't me
Really loving this one. I adore stories about people looking at the strangeness of how things might have gone
This is wonderful!! I can't wait until Rarity (pony) meets Rarity (human)!
Looks at everyone reading the comments. Can she do it? One weekend and two chapters done on the ninth will monochromatic finish the story or will she owe her friends 50 bucks?
Find out next time on "SOMEONE TO HOLD ON TO!" 
Twilight got over the whole "ripping a hole in space-time" thing I guess? Now she's the one encouraging it!
Twilight's so good at maneuvering Rarity! Knows exactly which buttons to press.
Flattery will get you everywhere darling
When you want to write an established relationship but you also want to write How They Got Together
Don't you dare close your eyes~
Mono can I just say I don't even care if anything happens in your stories? I could just read your banter between these mares and love every second!
When everything's spiraling and losing control,
anchor yourself with something you know.
Way to reduce someone's entire being to an accessory Rarity
Didn't expect that!
Interesting to see where this goes, the romantic in Rarity would love the idea of soulmates in any universe but I've always felt that would take away from what they have to just say It Was Always Meant To Be. It trivializes their work and efforts.
RIP challenge, or so it would seem

Lovely!!!!!!
Great laughs <3
Loce seeing these interactions, they are just so much fun to read.
Human Rarity was amazing! Flirting Dashie was genius!
Thanks for the chapter!
Rainbow is the best.
this is getting hilarious.
Well, considering you were basically asking for it....external-preview.redd.it/CsEMb3MIcxI0B1a-lIdzJVYwXHvtWIeqFChivenp0xg.png?auto=webp&s=3b84f7dfe0b1ca0568acdae7b48b7453dc50e8b5
This was cute. I liked the flirting with everyone and Rarity's complete awe for Rarity.
Heh. Kind of unique circumstances.
Entirely understandable. It may be Rarity, but it's Rarity who's been immersed in a different culture, experienced different influences, and had different experiences. The base is the same, but the particular being even as close as they are is uncanny.
I do love seeing people encounter their counterparts. Definitely looking forward to more. (Also, sorry for the shelf alert. Misguided reflex.)
