Diamonds and Dreams

Awakening Powers

After taking a shower and eating breakfast, Rarity combs her mane and puts on her makeup for the busy day ahead. She packs up the client’s order and heads out of Carousel Boutique with a spring in her step as she boards the train to Canterlot.

Once there, Rarity dropped off her client’s order, as expected, the client was over the moon that Rarity took the time to hoof deliver it herself, the client invited her in to chat for a bit, but Rarity politely declined the invitation, already having too much on her plate to get done today.

As Rarity went about her day, she couldn’t help but to contemplate the dream she had. She thinks about how easy it was to think of designs and the strange sense of power and control she had felt. Her spine would tingle every time she thought about it.

As the day passed, Rarity went about her business, hardly stopping for anything and anypony as she ran her errands and returned home.

That night, Rarity tucked herself into bed, exhausted from the busy day she had. As she fell asleep, she felt as if she was diving into a pool of water as she found herself in another dream, this time, she found herself face to face with Kitty Waltz, one of Equestia’s top models.

“Are there any more alterations you need to make before I go out there, Rarity? Kitty asked as Rarity looked at her slightly confused.

Deciding to play along, Rarity breathes out and adjusts the dress that Kitty has on. “There, you are ready to go out there, break a leg, darling,” Rarity says as Kitty walks out to the cheers of ponies and the shuttering of cameras as Rarity watches who she believes to be a client of hers, she notices a door and her curiosity peaks instantly, she opens the door and steps through only to be greeted with strobing lights and loud music, accompanied by the whoops and hollers of ponies.

“Alright party ponies, are you ready for a fun night!” A voice yelled out, immediately being answered by a wave of cheering. “I can’t hear you!.” The voice yelled out again followed by a louder wave of cheering that made Rarity’s heart reverberate.

“Then let’s raise the roof!” The voice yelled as music began to play and ponies started dancing. Rarity, trying to avoid being bumped into, walked to where she thought the stage would be only to find Vinyl Scratch surrounded by her equipment. Her stage name DJ-PON3 was plastered on banners standing on each side of the stage.

Rarity couldn’t help but bob her head to the beat, a smile spread across her face seeing one of her friends so happy, even though this wasn't the music she normally listened to, she could still find an appreciation for it.

As Rarity bobbed her head to the music, she realizes that she is once again lucid dreaming overwhelmed with joy, she smiles to herself and concentrates; and thinks of a random pony, hoping to pop into their dreams.

A door appears before her and she steps through, entering another fashion showcase with Suri Polomare showcasing her designs.

Rarity smiles impishly to herself as the memory of what Suri did to her comes flooding in.

Rarity ignites her horn and focuses on the models wearing Suri's designs. Using her magic, she causes one of the dresses to unravel, the high heels she designed to break, and one of the dresses to rip.

The models all scream as Rarity's antics unfold on them, Suri screams in horror as her designs seem to malfunction as Hoity Toity watches.

Rarity chuckles with delight as she punishes Suri in her dream, thinking it as harmless venting.

Hoity Toity leaves with disappointment written on his face, Suri tries desperately to plead with the fashion judge, trying to salvage her showcase.

Rarity smiles as she watches her fashion rival squirm.

As Rarity enjoys her mischief, she catches a glance of herself in the mirror, her reflection shifts, changing her elegant white coat to a coat of deep purple, her eyes become all blue, and her mane grows longer and flows like air. Her chuckle changed from impish and mischievous to evil and malicious.

Her reflection started to emerge from the mirror, making Rarity shirk in terror and jolt up from her slumber.

Rarity breathed heavily as she looked around, she was in her bed at home, sweat pouring off of her. "What was that?" Rarity asked herself as she wiped her forehead. Her heart pounded in her chest, scared out of her mind, the moon shining brightly through her window.

Rarity sits in her bed, too scared to close her eyes as she thinks to herself. "These dreams are too real to be mere dreams, perhaps I should talk with Twilight or Luna about them," she says to herself as she lays back down, her mind replaying her dream like a record, the thought of seeing that monster again keeps her from falling back asleep.

Rarity sighs and groans as she kicks off the covers and exits her bed. "It's no use, I can't go back to sleep," she says to herself as she exits her room and heads downstairs. She enters her living room and turns on the tv, the warm glow of the device lights up the room as she lays on the couch and turns the channel.

"Welcome to Equestira's Top Model, these lovely mares and stallions are showing off what many are saying will be the next big fad," The announcer says as he puts his hoof to his ear. Rarity wonders what's wrong before her eyes widen at what the announcer says.

"I just got word that next week's guest designer, Miss Suri Polomare will not be coming until she makes sure her designs won't malfunction, citing that she had a dream where her one of her dresses unraveled, a heel broke, and a dress ripped," the announcer proclaims, causing Rarity to mute the tv in shock.

"What, but it was my dream, how could she have experienced it?" Rarity asked herself as she started to breathe heavily.
