Just writing ideas that come to mind.

After Rarity's inner magical potential is unlocked by the Sonic Rainboom, she becomes Celestia's student instead of Twilight. How does this effect the future?

Her? But she's a fashionista.

Looks like a decent start to this story. So, Twilight only did well enough to BARELY get in (on the upside, though, she didn't yet have any major magical accidents). And the one delivering the egg for the test was late.

Now, on to the next chapter.

Definitely a very good job on the exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up So, Rarity was able to hatch a Changeling egg (which DEFINITELY requires a rather large amount of passion] after a lot of struggling (though, unlike Twilight in canon, she at least DIDN'T stop until the testers specifically called time) and created a rather massive multi-colored flash with her magic. Also liked how Rarity was reflecting on how she would rather be trying to make costumes for the upcoming school play that auditioning for Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns.

Of course, one has to wonder what Twilight's surge looked like with nobody around except maybe her parents, Shining and Cadance. And, hopefully, Twilight and Rarity will be able to befriend each other sooner than in canon if Twilight stays around the school long enough to have a real chance of meeting her.

"Sorry I'm late," he announced, "Princess Celestia herself requested this be delivered here for the next test. For a miss Sparkle?"

Wait

im comfused, wasn't her test Spike's egg?

A loud sound crackled from outside shaking the school at its foundations and making every pony in the room jump. The sound knocked the wind into Rarity, causing something to happen to her. A new feeling that radiated within her, that charged her inside!

uuuhh

YOU ARE MINUTES LATE RAINBOW DASH!

Well im interested to see where this will go

This story is operating on the head canon that Celestia purposely set up the egg test for Twilight, since I personally doubt the school had a large number of dragon eggs. And since the egg was delivered late, it went to the next applicant for the school.

Yes, Spike's physical form is now that of a changeling's.

Rarity's still going to retain her interest in fashion, but her overall focus is going to be on magic. In fact, her magic will be more focused on stylish spells like transfiguration and the like as a reflection of her fashion forward awareness.

Yes, Rarity being Celestia's student is a setting i would like to see more of, i personally think Rarity would make a fantastic apprentice . i'll be keeping an eye on this story, i hope you stay interested in doing story.

Well at least it's better than Celestia's nephew. What was his name again? Blueblood was it?

Again, this was a really good job on the latest chapter. You certainly got this up more quickly than I expected. Anyway, really good job on the exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up. Really appreciate the detail of Rarity working so hard to help others that she has fallen behind on her own studies and I also appreciate that she treats HER Spike a lot better than Twilight treated HERS at first.

MOST assuredly looking forward to more of this (especially seeing how Twilight has been doing without the pressure of living up to being Celestia's personal student). And, yeah, I could definitely see Spike developing a crush on Fluttershy.

Anyway, really looking forward to more of this.

Rarity sighed, shutting the book. She didn't care for studying, she preferred a more hooves on approach to her training, preferably something more stylish. And right now, she could do neither because of her lack of concentration.

No! gaaarr!!!

This grabbed my attention. It's been interesting so far, and I hope you'll continue it.

You shouldn't forget Rarity has an excellent capacity for observation and deduction as well.

As a streamlining of the fic all the previous chapters for Friendship is Magic, Part 1, have been combined into one chapter.

I thought Twilight wasn't interested in making friends

"Sorry Rarity," Twilight said with a smile, "It's my royal duty to do this. And," she looked at the rest of the group, "we're not going to let any friends of ours do this alone!" They all nodded in agreement.

I thought Twilight wasn't interested in making friends

It was at this moment that it clicked inside Rarity's mind. The answer, the elements, it was all standing before her!

The magic of friendship

This was the start of a new beginning for Princess Celestia's student. And the first of many adventures to come...

The start

of The Guardians of Harmony era

I guess episodes that don't have a huge impact can be skipped

Ok, now it begins

But don't make everything similiar, make this story unigue in its own way with slight differences

Don't worry, Twilight's character will be delved into in later chapters.

Well, once again, you did a rather good job on the chapter, a good mix of the stuff from earlier chapters now combined into a single chapter and additional material. And, yeah, I can understand that "passing mentions only" concerning Nightmare Moon's trials because of the similarities to canon (with the exception of Twilight already having a decent grasp of friendship, but that's going to be explained in a later chapter anyway [and I have a hunch it has something to do with her training including a fair amount on the value of teamwork and her making some logical conclusions]), but don't go TOO similar to canon. Feel free to work in as many differences as you are comfortable with. And I have a hunch Twilight is basically going to be going back to Canterlot JUST long enough to pack some prized belongings and explain things in pony to her family and a few other surprisingly close ponies before making the move/transfer to Ponyville.

But, anyway, certainly looking forward to more of this.

The ponies hushed; Pinkie Pie last because she was babbling something about oatmeal.

Not going to question

"That's a yes from me!" Spike interrupted, before flying up and diving into an apple pie.

Umm
You are having too much apples

"I'll skin my coat for that ticket!"

"I'll give you, my colts!"

eeeerrr, did they actually say that?

"This is what I get," he mumbled to himself, "for trying out food."

(chuckle)

This was fun and good characterization on Rarity

Unlike our Twilight, Rarity knows and says its her decision alone

What are you going to do with Rarity episodes?

Hey there. Again, this was an entertaining episode. Certainly appreciated the dialogue, characterizations, general wrap-up and future episode set-up. As was mentioned by other reviewers, appreciated Rarity being firmer than Twilight was in canon concerning the ticket decision. And the alteration that Rarity HAS already been to the Gala several times. And the sixth ticket being for Spike from the upshot as Twilight is still in Canterlot (at least until the next episode).

Anyway, very certainly looking forward to more of this.

The unicorn held out a hoof, "Twilight Sparkle, accomplished mage and official magical advisor for Princess Celestia."

0.o with a tittle like that and Rarity have not heard of her.... that seems a little odd, it sounds like a post Twilight would have gotten in Canon if she hadn't become a Alicorn xD

The Rarity episodes will become Twilight episodes, so most of them will be completely redone

an intersting take on the story

As other people have pointed out the details in character interactions are on point. But I’d advise that in future some stories need to differ. Rarity soloution to a problem should be different than Twilight’s

For want of an egg, am I right?

You really ought to add this story to some groups. It’d be easier to find that way.

She hatched a changeling? Interesting. Very interesting.

Wait, why is he still called Spike? That name doesn’t really fit him in this story.

11412001
Don't worry, this is more of an early "baseline" episode. I'll try to differ future chapters as much as I can.

11412023
Him retaining his name is to make it easier for reader's to tell who he is, especially with his frequent shape shifting.

Rarity gasped, "Honestly Applejack! Have forgotten that today is the day your friend Twilight Sparkle returns to Ponyville?"

Im guessing she'll be gone alot?

Twilight nodded and cleared her throat, "So, I told you all that I'm visiting Ponyville, but I may have asked a few favors and pulled a few strings, and..." She crouched down in anticipation and jumped up, "I'm moving to Ponyville!"

NVM🎉🎉🎉🎉

So Rarity does fashion but also magic studies.

Feh. She should have thrown the competition at the start. If there's anything worse than a sore winner, it's a sore winner who wins without any real effort from the competition. :raritywink:
