This Is It
“RARITY! Are you home?”
“F-Fluttershy!?”
“Oh, um… I’m sorry. I’m not disturbing you, am I?”
I became so excited by the crowds cheering my name outside… that I just realized I was bursting into Rarity’s house and shouting her name… which was very rude of me.
“Well… not really. I was about to retire to my room and curl up with a nice book, to try to ease my mind.”
Wow… I forgot how soothing it is to hear her voice. Such a beautiful sound…
“Why, is something the matter? It’s not something urgent, is it?”
Oh, dear… I don’t like it when she gets close to me like this. Well… I do, she makes me feel warmer, but…
It’s hard to not kiss her.
“Well, it’s… um, sort of, I— H-How is your search going?”
“Search?”
“Your search to find the perfect— perfect stallion? I saw you had a… had a speed dating thing set up yesterday.”
“Oh. That.”
Oh, no. Now she looks sad… I can’t bear to see her so sad.
“Well… not very well, actually. In fact, pretty terrible. First, I find a stallion who turns out to be a stupid, hor— I mean, a very rude character. Things with me and Fancy Pants didn’t work out, and… well, you can probably guess how my little speed dating adventure went.”
“Oh… my.”
I’m not sure what to feel right now. I mean, I am glad that I still haven’t lost my chance, and Rarity still doesn’t have a special somepony after all this time.
And yet… I don’t know. I almost feel ashamed for feeling happy about it. Rarity is probably really sad right now, and lonely… I sure hope those stallions didn’t break her heart too badly…
Oh dear, I’m crying, aren’t I?
The reason I was going up to read my book was to try to forget about my troubles. It’s my favorite novella, Pretty Pony Over the Marble Bridge. It always helps me relax when I’m feeling down in the dumps, and after a whole day and a half of feeling sorry for myself, it could be just what I need right now.
Of course… a book can never truly replace a very good friend when you need some comforting. When you think of it that way…
Maybe Fluttershy can help me. She’s my best friend, and has always been there whenever I needed comforting. And she’s one of the kindest ponies I know. I can always rely on her to be a good, caring friend. Yes. Thank goodness she showed up.
Wait… why did she come here? She still hasn’t told me that yet.
“Fluttershy?”
“Y-Yes?”
Wait, is she… Oh, my.
“Oh Fluttershy, I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to make you cry! Here, have a tissue.”
“It’s— it’s okay, I’m fine. Thanks.”
“What was it you wanted?”
“What?”
“Well, you came in shouting my name. Did something happen?”
“Oh!”
That’s right… the reason I came here.
I need to finally tell her.
But is now the perfect time? Would she be too…
No! No more excuses! I can’t do this anymore! I can’t just keep running away and feeling miserable afterwards.
I have to do this.
“Well, you see… there was— there was a reason. S-something I needed to tell you…”
“Oh. Well, what is it?”
Gulp.
“I— Rarity, I— Oh, this is so hard…”
Why can’t I just say it already?
“Darling, are you alright? You look tense.”
It’s true, she looks very nervous. She’s shaking a little bit, and even starting to sweat.
“I’m just… nervous.”
“What’s wrong?”
Ohhhh…
“It’s just, this is something really important… And it’s something that I’ve been waiting a very long time to tell you…”
“I-I don’t understand.”
She looks deeply, genuinely confused right now. One brow raised over the other and everything.
She still looked pretty, though. Especially that hair, and her eyes…
No, can’t get distracted now!
“You— you know how you’ve been looking for the perfect pony to date? Hoping to finally find your special somepony?”
“Well… yes, but what does that to do with—”
“I could be your special somepony.”
Oh, not this again…
“Dear, I’m sorry, but I can’t hear you. You really need to speak u— What are you doing?”
Why is she suddenly leaning in so close to me? What is—
SMOOCH!
Kissing me.
She’s… she’s kissing me. On the lips. Not on my cheek, or my horn, or my nose…
This is straight-up first base on the lips.
But… but why?
“I COULD BE YOUR SPECIAL SOMEPONY!”
“I— W-What?”
“I could be your special somepony, Rarity!”
“Fluttershy, what in Equestria are you talking about!?”
“Yes, I could! And you know why? Because… because… BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!”
“…P-Pardon?”
“I love you, Rarity! I always have! Since I first moved here to Ponyville! I’ve loved you, and I’ve been trying to tell you that I love you for such a long time, but I was always too scared to say anything! But now I’m saying it! I love you Rarity, and I want to be your special somepony!”
…
Why isn’t she saying anything? Should I open my eyes?
Here goes nothing.
…
Shocked.
She looks… shocked. Her mouth is hanging open, and her eyes are wide. It sounded like she was trying to say anything, but was speechless.
When is she going to—
“How... HOW DARE YOU!”
“H-h-huh?”
“Why would you take advantage of me like that, Knowing of all the heartbreak I’ve just been through!? You can’t just come in here, ask me what’s wrong, and then… then, DO THAT!”
What does she mean? What is she saying?
“I-I’m sorry. I didn’t— I wasn’t trying to— I just though that…”
“Thought what, huh? OUT WITH IT!”
“EEP! I-I-I don’t know!”
She’s never yelled at me like this before…
I see what’s going on here now.
This is some kind of sick joke.
She must’ve decided that with my bad luck with stallions, she would play a little joke, as if to say I would have better luck dating mares instead.
How… how rude of her. Why would she even do this?
“That was absolutely disgusting and revolting what you just did, Fluttershy! I-I can’t even believe you would do something like this to me! I thought you were my best friend!”
“I’m— I’m sorry, Rarity… I didn’t mean t—”
“Sorry!? SORRY!? After that shameful display, all you have to say for yourself is sorry?”
No.
This wasn’t supposed to happen…
“Why would you do that, Fluttershy? You know how I feel about mare-amorers! This is the sort of thing I would expect from somepony like Rainbow Dash! HOW COULD YOU!”
Rejection.
She’s rejecting me. I can’t believe it.
Not only does she not love me back… but he’s really angry at me! She hates me for doing that to her!
Hates me… That’s it. She must hate my guts now. Forget still being friends. She’s probably far past that now.
Her eyes weren’t calm and beautiful now. Now they were sharp and full of hate, and rage. They were like sharp daggers digging right into my heart…
And I could barely even see them anymore. My eyes were too full of tears.
Wait… is she…
She’s crying.
Why is she—
Oh, no. Did I lay it on a little too harsh?
I mean, I was mad about her prank, and rightly so, but… was I going too far?
This is Fluttershy of all ponies. She’s so emotionally fragile, and still my best friend…
This whole love problem is stressing me out more than I realized. First that outburst at the restaurant, and now this… I shouldn’t be yelling at my friends like this.
Especially not Fluttershy! Even if what she just did was men, she doesn’t deserve this. She’s so emotionally fragile, and despite that prank, she’s still my best friend…
“Fluttershy, I—”
“No..”
“What?”
“NO!”
“Fluttershy, wait! Where are you going?”
My friends probably all saw me. I heard them calling my name as I ran out, but I ignored them all. I kept my eyes tightly shut. I couldn’t see where I was running anymore. And it still didn’t stop my tears from gushing out like a faucet.
I couldn’t stay. I had to get out of there.
I couldn’t bear to look at her. At Rarity. My Rarity. No, NOT my Rarity. Never again.

The roller coaster of feels continues.
Oh shit, I almost cried there. Seriously, I was shaking.
You are a GENIUS !!
THIS STORY IS BRILLIANT!!!

Why Rarity? Why?
Shit, talk about you getting your heart shattered, wow I...I can't BUCK, Rarity is such a bitch, this is just cruel....wow
...
please make more quickly must see
Well, that couldn't have gone any worse...
Actually a meteor could have turned Ponyville into a crater, but that's about it.
Excuse me while I get a bucket for all these feels.
Really liking the quick perspective changing, but unfortunately I'm too tired to think anything more than HOW CAN YOU BE SO DENSE, RARITY!!
I'll look forward to the next chapter!
This coming from the biggest sucker for drama/romance fiction on the net.
Rarity you cow. Just stay alone then, cuddle up with your burning homophobia every night, that oughta keep ya warm.

"The shit I put up with..."
-Angel Bunny
Commence read.
The feels.
Rarity isnt all that bright is she
Rarity.....you are so selfish.
Sigh. Oh Rarity. You are so naive...
Please continue this awesome fic
Also, this is why Rainbow pulls pranks with Pinkie and not Rarity
I think Rarity has ultimately broken Fluttershy this time for good.
...she thinks Fluttershy, FLUTTERSHY OF ALL PONIES, would do that to make fun of her?!?
Dang it Rarity...
... And this is why you don't ship a straight Rarity to a fillyfooler Fluttershy. I mean at first everything is fine and then your Rarity turns into a rampant homophobe and can't put down the idiot ball long enough to realize that Fluttershy never pulls pranks. Fluttershy is not the subject of pranks. Pinkie's Law Legal code 8675309 states Fluttershy is not allowed to be within 100 feet of a prank. Should she enter that zone all pranking activity must cease or Pinkie will deal swift and horrible punishment to the offending party.
Why must you torture Fluttershy so?
Dammit Rarity. Why you gotta go and do that to Flutters?
Oh god, now I KNOW something is wrong with me. Last night, making perverted (and sometimes also volatile) responses...
This time, an increasing smile/grin as Fluttershy endures more pain. I just stopped the corners of my lips from rising from just thinking about her torture...

I entered the page with a smile, I left with joyous laughter. Send help.
This TOTALLY makes up for the last stories cliché resolution!
God I love sad endings... ._.
Okay, look. I apologize in advance, because I'm gonna be a little bit harsh here. I've just about reached my limit.
The conclusion is inevitable. It's obvious. It was clear from the very start. We are now literally exactly where we were at the end of the speed dating chapter. This story has actually made a negative amount of progress. Nobody has actually DONE anything that has moved the plot "forward" permanently, because every SINGLE time a development comes along, it's almost immediately undone. Rarity goes to Canterlot to find love? Her trip fails. Fluttershy goes to tell Rarity about her love for her at a speed dating session? Nope, Rarity's a homophobe. Sweetie Belle tells Fluttershy that Rarity would give her a chance? Nope, Rarity rejects her immediately and severely damages their friendship (which I find OOC, but whatever).
This is not how you write a story. You can't just dangle a pair of car keys in front of us and keep pulling them back every time we get close. It gets old. This story is hanging on a THREAD. A literal THREAD of the thinnest type imaginable. I'm sorry for being harsh, but I am quite annoyed right now. There's only so much I can put up with. You're a good writer, and I really do want to like this story, but...it has not gone anywhere except backwards.
The SORROW. I was so excited for the ball to be in Rarity's court after Fluttershy told her how she felt. Then you give us...........
.......this. Please for this hopeless lover of all that is romantic and good resolve this quickly, I can't bear sad ending involving my OYP
Ciao darling
Just jaw dropping.
Oh noes
Making Fluttershy cry should warrant an immediate trip to the moon for you, Rarity.
In all seriousness, I think in the next chapter, all of Rarity's friends, including Spike and Sweetie Belle, are really going to let Rarity have it with what she did.
1879042 OYP?
1878987 Yeah, that. Think I'm done here.
I simulataniusly want to murder and chain you do a desk and make you write. Maybe I can murder you after the next chapter.....or maybe when the sory's done.
That was horrific. And brilliant.
Well all I have to say Wow!
Now Rarity will have to find her again but First I think She will have to talk to her other friends I bet. Oh poor Fluttershy 
I do hope Rarity can salvage her friendship with Flutters but at this rate I think Fluttershy will be really bad off. You are an evil auther leaving it on a cliffhanger like that I hate you but I also WANT MOAR 
Rainbow is going to destroy Rarity/her boutique for that. The element of loyality doesn't take kindly to people destroying her oldest friend feels.
Just sayin'.
1879594 OTP sorry
Wow Rarity I never thought you could be so stupid, yes that's right you're stupid, or maybe you're lying. Hm I think G1 Megatron might have something to say on that.
But in all honesty Rarity you messed up, good luck trying to find a special somepony after all this or even keep a friend. Everyone heard what you said and only idiots will continue to support you.
So you listen and you listen good, you'd better do your best to patch things up with Fluttershy and take some time to discover your TRUE feelings towards lezbian copules or else I'm afraid my friends in high places will have another hit on their hooves?

I want to rage kill something. Time for Icewind Dale, I'm making a party of barbarians and a dumbass cleirc and BITCHES WILL DIE.
Lament! Fie on your untoward exclamations, and watch your happy life be burned unto cinders by the fiery rejoinders of your peers. Repent! Your callous words cut like a dagger the heartstrings of your bosom friend, dashing her love on the rocks that are your hard icy heart. Rarity, you will not weather the storm you have set your course into.
In this particular instance of Rarity, I can only feel that she deserves to be alone. You said it yourself Flutters, she's not your Rarity. If she ever was.
My initial reaction to this chapter was one of absolute dispare and sorrow. The only thing that I can compare this sadness to is the infamouse My Little Dashie fanfic. For a breife moment I was on the verge of tears. Now for some this may sound like I'm blowing things out of proportion, but due take into account that to my recollection I've only ever cried 5 times sence outgrowing the title of infant. Now after recovering from this great sadness my follow up reaction was one of unbridled rage and furry. HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO FLUTTERSHY IN SUCH A MANNER! I know several people who are KKK members and I have never, EVER seen such an act of intolerance and hate. I expect this kind of behavior from the Westboro Baptist Church, not one of the Elements of Harmony. May shame fall upon your ancestors and your place of employment Rarity.
This chapter did not make me sad. ONLY PISSED AT RARITY!.. No.. Actually I am just annoyed at her misunderstanding. Not really that angry
NOW NEXT CHAPTER!
Rarispy, do you like Rarity?
Oh look, another one.
i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/135/710/130660655896.jpg
1. I felt the hate come off Rarity's opinion of mare on mare couples. It burned.
2. I felt my heart break, I didn't like it.
3. I'M GONNA KILL RARITY FOR MAKING FLUTTERSHY CRY!
Rarity, don't you rmember what happened to the last creature to make her cry?! We never saw her again!
