Teapots & Friends
"Hold still!"
"Ugh, I'm trying!"
"Well if you could try a little harder maybe this would go faster."
"Hay it's not my fault your place is boring!"
"Carousel boutique is not "Boring" it is the centre for fashion in the whole of Ponyville-"
"Yadda, yadda, just hurry up will ya! I need to fly!"
"Hmph."
The Client had been slowly getting on her nerves.
Wrapped in the loving embrace of the velvet night she had begun such a lovely dream too. Standing in a hillside meadow on a clear day with wondrous sunfire poppies littering the ground. Dressed in a gorgeous ensemble of pure white silk, gold lace and sapphire blue highlights. Her mane loose and flowing when, if the wind permitted, showed off her swanlike neck and diamond ear rings.
She had been waiting for him, her handsome prince adorned in a selection of gleaming silver armour that reflected the sky. Armed with a golden sword hilted at his side, shimmering shield strewn across his back and his impressive physique all contained inside that glittering armour.
With a sheepish smile that caused a strange tingle and lit her face on fire he marched forward and stood in front of her.
"Lady Rarity?" He asked pulling his helmet free losing a tumble of golden locks.
"Yes my prince?" She uttered enthralled by his long flowing mane that showered his face.
"I know it is improper to ask you in this manner." He raised a hoof to stroke her face. "However I cannot contain myself any longer!"
"Oh my..." She shuddered.
"My lady?" He pulled a large box from his armoured pockets, revealing a golden ring with a large blue diamond embedded in the centre. "Will you marry me?"
"Oh my prince..." She took the ring and placed it on her horn before moving closer. As the wind carried the golden locks from his muzzle and their lips went to meet for a breathtaking kiss-
*Crash*
"Rarity! I need you!"
That's when she woke up.
It had been Rainbow Dash who after first bashing into the door and then shouting her out bed had begun ranting and raving about a new Wonderbolts tour. With enough time to shove a piece of sloppily buttered toast in her mouth she had begun to weave a new outfit for her friend. Still all she needed right now was a squealing pegasus raving over how she needed a new fan-filly costume.
"Oh and Spitfire is gonna be there with a bunch of new recruits so...Hay! Are you even listening to me?"
"Darling I'm trying to think a moment." Rarity mumbled into her notepad.
"Ugh, you never listen to me!"
Feeling her ire rise slightly Rarity turned away from her client with a haughty huff.
"You know Rainbow Dash it was not my idea to come in here shouting and being a nuisance!" Trotting up to a mirror and despairing over her bedraggled appearance due to a horrendous case of bedmane and no make-up.
"I was having a most lovely dream until you came and ruined it!" She began to try and straighten the purple locks with her magic but finding the lustrous mane was having none of it she ceased her attempt. Turning back to the offending pegasus Rarity felt a triumphant flutter dance up her spine as she saw her friend darken and slump down.
"I'm sorry Rarity..." Rainbow said sadly rubbing her hoof against the back of her head. With the triumphant feeling vanishing in a poof of smoke Rarity sighed and picked up her measuring tape.
"Oh, forgot it dear." Rarity said feeling a bit shameful. "I know how you get around the Wonderbolts. Now just sit still for a few more minutes and we'll be done. Okay?"
"Yeah, okay." Rainbow visibly brightened again.
With that the fashionista went back to work sizing her friend up for a mock Wonderbolt uniform. Personally she thought the standard uniforms were a bit garish but this being a mock-up could do with a little more style.
"Mm, maybe some nice lavender hints in the legs?"
Thinking back to the earlier rambles of the now pacified pegasus Rarity had gleamed, in-between Rainbow's squeals, that the Wonderbolts were coming to Ponyville for a special charity tour. An organization called "Pennies for the Poor" who were endorsed by the princesses themselves raised bits for all the ponies who couldn't read or go to school.
"As if there are still ponies who can't afford to go to school!" Rarity thought idly to herself. "I wonder if Twilight had anything to do with it so far? I image she would have a heart attack if she found out that some ponies couldn't read."
"Lift your left wing please." Rainbow complied while continuing to fidget quietly.
"Huh? Some of her feathers are loose. I wonder if she'll let me have some?"
Looking up she saw Rainbow's bored expression and in an act of pre-emptive action Rarity spoke before boredom made the cyan pegasus begin to twitch again.
"So, how did you get the tickets?"
"Huh? Oh well me and Snow Drop went to get tickets anyway but when we got there Spitfire saw us, of course she remembered and me set us up with VIP tickets!" Rarity sighed as Rainbow began to bounce again.
"Still!" The bubbly pegasus became stone still. "Better. So have you kept them somewhere safe?"
"Oh no they are being delivered in the mail today. I got Derpy to pick them up on her shift and bring them here for me." Rainbow said matter-of-factly.
"Derpy...the mailmare?" Rarity stopped her measurements gazed thoughtfully at the pegasus.
"Yea...why'd you say it like that?" Rainbow shifted feeling confused.
"I thought Derpy worked for Cloudsdale movers?" Rarity inquired bringing a hoof to her chin.
"Oh she does all kinds of jobs." Rainbow sniffed while waving a hoof. "Something to do with her kid going to an expensive college. To be fair us gals on the weather team get her something extra on Hearth's Warming Eve, ya'know to help them out and everything."
"Well that's nice of you dear, let me know next time I'll be sure to pitch in as well." Rarity smiled happily.
Silence pervaded the little shop for a while as Rarity continued to take her measurements with Rainbow settling to stare blankly into space, clearly fantasizing about her soon to be encounter with the Wonderbolts again.
*Knock* *Knock*
"Come in~~~" Rarity sang out startling the now drooling pegasus.
As the door bell clattered she called to her new customer. "Welcome to Carousel Boutique where every garment is chic, unique and magnifique."
"Hi Rarity! Hi Rainbow Dash!" A grey pegasus with a long sweep of yellow mane waved cheerfully.
"Derpy darling how nice to see you!" Rarity said moving toward Derpy but not before being punted over as a multicoloured blur pushed past.
"Derpy! Did'ja get um! Did'ja!" Rainbow chirped bouncing around the mailmare.
"Of course Rainbow Dash." Fishing in her saddlebags she produced two golden envelopes. "'ere yah 'o"
"Omigosh!" Rainbow squealed before blasting around the room causing a prismatic tornado to form behind her.
"Hehe she looks like Dinky on her birthday." Derpy chuckled.
"Yes. Adorable." Rarity uttered with a cringe. The colourful squealing tornado was making such a lovely mess on the shop floor.
"Welp I'm off, cya later!" Derpy shouted over to Rainbow dash who took no notice whatsoever. Rarity gave a tired wave before moving back to the rapidly disintegrating shop.
*Sigh*
"Rainbow darling!" Rarity cantered over to the base of the tornado. "Darling would you mind-"
As she went to finish the sentence a nearby cupboard blew open throwing flowery plates, dainty cups and biscuits all over the place. Well it had finally caught up to her as after being woken up early and rudely, unable to perform her make-up rituals, unable to eat a proper breakfast or even have a nice cup of tea and then having her mane showered with the crumbs of twenty Jammy Dogers, Rarity lost her temper.
"RAINBOW DASH!" With a brief blast of telekinesis she wrapped her magic around the tail of the offending pegasus and gave an almighty tug.
"Whuh!" Rainbow stopped still and then clattered to the floor in a bout of pain and feathers.
"Rarity! What the hay!"
"What the hay! WHAT THE HAY!" Rarity's anger blossomed in a great surge of magical power. Moving forward and pressing her hoof into her friend.
"Do I break into your house!"
*POKE*
"Ow."
"Ruin your morning!"
*POKE*
"Ow!"
"Before smashing all your stuff, huh!"
*POKE*
"Hay!"
"Look at what you've done to my shop!" Rarity growled with a wave of her hoof. Rainbow sheepishly looked around the place and could see the mess of broken plates, cups, ribbons and various other pieces cloth that had been sprinkled everywhere.
"Oh, oops..." Rainbow scuffed at the floor. "Sorry um-"
"You will help me clean all this up and then you will pay for all the damages done to my cutlery. Understand!" Rarity bellowed with her horn lighting up threateningly. Rainbow nodded meekly not wishing to make the irate unicorn even more angry and began to pick through the wreckage but not before securing the tickets in her saddlebag.
Rarity feeling her point was made clear enough to the cyan pegasus turned toward the closet to retrieve a broom. As she cantered away Rainbow began to place some of the non-broken plates back into the cupboard. At this she noticed an object that sat awkwardly on a busted shelf at the top of the cupboard. Retrieving it Rainbow was greeted to the sight of one the ugliest teapots ever. It was ugly even by Rainbow Dash's fashion sense with green and orange stripes flowing around a big pink heart in the centre.
"Geez Rarity where'd you buy this thing!" Rainbow snickered while turning it over in her hoof.
"Huh?"
"Look at it! It's hideous!" Rainbow eyed it closer.
*Gasp*
"Rainbow No! Put that down-" A chink it the handle gave way and the pot fell away from the blue hoof.
*CRUNCH*
"Aw hay..." Rainbow closed her eyes and shuddered waiting for the inevitable rant coming her way.
...
...
"...out" A whisper called over.
"Huh?" Looking up she saw Rarity had dropped everything and stood over the remains of the ugly pot.
"Get out..." Rarity whispered again.
"Rarity look I'll pay for it all I promise. Besides its just a teapot-" Rainbow felt her breath taken away as she saw Rarity turn to her with great tears rushing down her face, hair smouldering, eyes turning a baleful green and a snarl eating at her voice.
"Get out Rainbow. Get out before I get my hooves on you..."
