> Dangerously In Love (Sequel to Rarity's and Spike's Relationship) > by GracefulFluttershy > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The "Special" Place > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Rarity, how long does this blind fold need to be on?” Spike asked as Rarity was leading him to a “special” place. “We are almost there, Darling. Just a few more steps,” Rarity replied as they got closer. “I won’t bump into anything, right?” Spike inquired, wobbling a little as he walked. “No, no, no, of course not, Darling! You are in good hooves!” Rarity responded, “Ah, we’ve made it! Now you can take it off!” “WOAH!!!” Spike exclaimed as he took off the blind fold. It was piles and piles of gems everywhere! “Is this Dragon Heaven?” Spike asked as he was in a daze. Then, he started floating! Rarity giggled. “No! This was the “special” place, just for you!” Rarity replied, grabbing Spike’s tail with her magic and bringing him down to the ground, “It’s to show how much I love you, Spikey Wikey!” “Rarity, thank you so much! I love you too!” Spike responded, kissing Rarity on her cheek and then he dove into one of the piles of gems. As he was eating his Dragon heart away, Rarity just stood there giggling. > The Trip Home > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- When Spike got done eating, they started to walk back to Twilight’s house. Spike burped as he rubbed his tummy. It was the BEST meal a baby Dragon has ever eaten! Spike was wobbling, and then he fell. Rarity giggled as she left him up due to her magic and placed him on her back. It was getting dark, so she started trotting to Twilight’s house. She knows how Twilight gets when Spike isn’t home before dark. When they finally arrived at Twilight’s house, Rarity knocked on the door. As Twilight opened it, she smiled as she noticed the baby Dragon sleeping on top of Rarity’s back. “What a cute sight,” Twilight thought as she told Rarity to come inside. “You should have seen him, Twilight! He ate his whole LIFE away! Then, he fell straight to sleep! Spike is so adorable!” Rarity explained as she used her magic to left Spike up and put him in his bed. “Aw, how sweet!” Twilight replied as she walked over to Spike and tucked him in and gave him a kiss. Rarity followed and also kissed him. “Yes, yes it was! Well, I should be getting home now. Goodbye Twilight,” Rarity said, starting towards the door. “Wait! You can stay over if you want, Rarity. I don’t mind, and I know Spike wouldn’t mind!” Twilight said, giggling. “Twi, you know that I would love to, but I can’t. I have a lot of dresses to make tomorrow for this fashion show. Thanks for the offer, though Darling,” Rarity replied. “Okay! Goodbye Rarity!” Twilight responded as she waved goodbye. Rarity waved back and then she went home. > A Unicorn on the Weather Team? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *The Next Day* Rainbow Dash's P.O.V. I flew to the Weather Factory because someone told me we have a new pony. She wasn’t any new pony; she was a Unicorn! The Pegasus head of the Weather Team told me to show her around Ponyville and Cloudsdale since I was the one most experienced out of the Weather Team. Her name was Snowcatcher and she could make the most awesome snowflakes in Equestria! It was still odd that the Weather Team would let a Unicorn join even if she was talented. How did she even get INTO Cloudsdale? “Hey! My name is Rainbow Dash! I will show you around Cloudsdale and Ponyville,” I said to her as I came closer to her. She had a blue coat, blue eyes, an awesome snow flake Cutie Mark, and big, poofy pink hair. It almost looked like Pinkie Pie’s hair. “Okay! Oh, my name is Snowcatcher,” She introduced herself. “I know! The whole Weather Team has been talking about you and how great your snow flakes are!” I replied. “Yes, ponies have said that about me,” She responded, blushing. “So, how did you even get to Cloudsdale?” I inquired. “Huh?” She asked, titling her head to the side. “You know, only Pegasus ponies are allowed to walk on clouds, so how can you do it?” I asked, studying her to see if she was using magic or something. “I don’t really know. It’s like I was born like this. I used to live in Canterlot with my parents. Until-“ She started before I had cut her off. “Are your parents Unicorns, too?” I asked, knowing there was no way a Unicorn could magically walk on clouds with using, you know, magic! “Yes they are!” She responded, grinning. “That’s strange,” I said under my breath. “Huh?” She asked. “Oh nothing….continue,” I replied, blushing and sweating. “Oh okay! Like what I was saying, we lived in Canterlot until I was 12 years old. My parents wondered why I didn’t have my Cutie Mark, so they tried to make me try different things but nothing worked. Then, we move to Ponyville to see if I’ll find it there. It was during the winter when we moved, and I discovered that I could catch and make wonderful snowflakes! I just love snow, and then I got my Cutie Mark! I decided to move to, well, here a month later. I really don’t know Ponyville that well or here,” She explained, “Well, that’s my story!” My mouth dropped! “Wow! That was some story! Well, how about while I’m showing you around here and Ponyville, I can tell you how I got my Cutie Mark!” I replied. “Yes! I would love to hear how you earned your Cutie Mark!” She responded, her horn glowing to show that she was excited. “Also, when I get done giving you a tour, do you want to meet my friends?” I asked. Her face lit up! “Of course! Do they live here?” She inquired. I shook my head. “No, they all live in Ponyville!” I responded. “Okay!” She replied as I started showing her around Cloudsdale and Ponyville while explaining to her how I got my Cutie Mark. I also told her about my friends. > Introducing > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Here is Sweet Apple Acres! My friend Applejack lives here!” I said as we walked past the gates. I spotted Applejack apple bucking, so I went up to her to introduce Snowcatcher to her. “Hey Sugar cube! Who is pony?” Applejack asked, stopping in the middle of her work. “Snowcatcher this is Applejack. Applejack this is Snowcatcher,” I introduced, “She is a new member of the Weather Team!” “A Unicorn on the Weather Team?” Applejack asked, titling her head to the side. “Yes!” Snowcatcher answered. “Filled with Pegasus members?" Applejack inquired, not believing that it was possible. “Yup!” I replied, winking my eye so that she would change the subject. Applejack nodded. “Well, nice meeting you Sugar Cube, but I really need to get some work done,” Applejack said as she put a bucket by a nearby tree. “Are you apple bucking?” Snowcatcher asked, stepping closer to the tree. “Yes! Do you know how to apple buck?” Applejack asked. “Of course I do! When I lived in Ponyville, I used to apple-I mean, snow buck the snow off the trees that my family lived by. I’m sure apples aren’t that different!” Snowcatcher said, getting ready to apple buck. “Honey, I appreciate it, but-“ Applejack started, but then WHACK!!! Snowcatcher kicked the horse feathers out of that tree! All of a sudden, all of the apples fell out of the tree! I was flabbergasted! Just by bucking snow, this pony sure knows how to buck apples! Applejack’s mouth dropped, and so did mine! We were speechless! “Well, uh, thank you! Whenever you’re bored and want to kick some trees, you know where to find me,” Applejack said as she continued her work. Snowcatcher just giggled. “Well, let’s go to Sugarcube Corner!” I said as we were on our way. When we got there, we were greeted by the cheerful, pink Earth pony! “Hiya! Who is this? I never met you before, and if I never met you before, that must mean you’re new! I know everypony in Ponyville! What’s your name? Where are you from? Can you-“ Pinkie Pie began before I put my hoof in her mouth. “Pinkie Pie this is Snowcatcher. Snowcatcher this is Pinkie Pie,” I introduced, “Snowcatcher is from Canterlot but she moved into Cloudsdale because her special talent deals with snowflakes!” “Wow! A Unicorn that deals with snowflakes! Is she on the Weather Team?” Pinkie asked, amazed. “Why, yes I am!” Snowcatcher replied. “That’s so cool!” Pinkie responded. “Pinkie can do amazing things too!” I explained, “She can break the 4th Wall, mess with the Laws of Gravity, make portals, and dive into pools in slow-mo!” Pinkie Pie nodded. “And, bake delicious cupcakes and other sweets!” Pinkie Pie added. “Yes, of course!” I said, laughing. Snowcatcher giggled. “I can bake too!” Snowcatcher said. “Really?” Pinkie Pie asked, her eyes lighting up. “Yes,” Snowcatcher replied, “I used to help my grandma bake sweets when I was younger! I thought baking was something I was good at, but it turns out that it was just a hobby.” “Wow! You need to bake some cupcakes with me!” Pinkie Pie said, cheerfully. (No Cupcakes story reference related thing in here!) Snowcatcher giggled and then nodded. “Well we have to go to Twilight’s house! I’m still showing Snowcatcher around,” I explained. “Okay! See ya later Alligator!” Pinkie Pie said, “You need to see my pet Alligator, Gummy!” Snowcatcher nodded and then we were on our way….again. When we arrived to Twilight’s house, I knocked on the door. Spike answered it, and from the looks of it, he had just woke up from his afternoon nap. He was carrying his blue blanket in one hand and in the other hand, he was sucking his thumb. He noticed that he was caught, so he had stopped. It was actually pretty funny! Then, he hid his blanket. “Uh, hey Rainbow! What’s up?” Spike asked, trying to look cool. “Hey Spike! This is Snowcatcher! Snowcatcher this is Spike!” I introduced them, “Where’s Twilight?” “She’s organizing her books! Come in, come in,” Spike said, stepping aside and holding the door for us. As we stepped inside, I saw the purple Egghead organizing her books just like what Spike had said. “Twi, I want you to meet somepony!” I said. “Wait! I’m almost done!” Twilight said, waving her hoof, “Now where does this go?” “Oh come on!” I yelled as I hoof palmed. Snowcatcher walked closer to Twilight, and then she studied her book shelves. “This goes here!” Snowcatcher said, lifting the book with her magic and placing it in the right place. “WOW!!! You’re right! How did you know?” Twilight inquired, in awe. “I used to help my mother’s friend organize books,” Snowcatcher explained, “She worked in a library.” “That is astonishing!” Twilight exclaimed. Snowcatcher did a cheesy grin. “What’s your name?” Twilight asked. “I’m Snowcatcher!” Snowcatcher answered. “She’s on the Weather Team! She’s from Canterlot like you!” I explained, “Then, she moved into Cloudsdale because her special talent deals with snowflakes!” “That is very interesting!” Twilight replied. “I also lived in Ponyville for a while,” Snowcatcher added. “That is wonderful!” Twilight exclaimed. “So, what’s your name?” Snowcatcher asked, “Oh wait, it’s Twilight!” “Yes, indeed it is! Whenever I need help organizing books, can you help me?” Twilight asked, giving her puppy dog eyes. “Sure!” Snowcatcher agreed, giggling. Then, we all laughed. “Do you need any spells while you’re walking on the clouds?” Twilight asked. “No! I was born to walk on clouds!” Snowcatcher responded, “Weird, huh?” “Yes! That is still amazing!” Twilight said, her eyes widening. “Well, we are going to Rarity’s house. I’m still showing Snowcatcher around,” I explained. Spike jumped up! “Can I come too?” Spike asked, almost begging. “Oh yeah, sure you can, Spike!” I replied. “YAY!!!” Spike exclaimed as he dashed out the door. My hair poofed up! It looked like Snowcatcher’s hair now! We all laughed! Then, I zoomed out of the door while Snowcatcher teleported to Rarity’s house. “SHE CAN TELEPORT TOO?!” Twilight screamed when everypony was gone. > Fabulous Mane!!! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Rarity, it’s me, Spike!” Spike said, rapidly pounding on Rarity’s door. Rarity opened the door, and then she gasped! Rarity’s P.O.V. “Darling what is wrong with your mane?!” I questioned this Unicorn with a blue coat and pink, fluffy hair! I guess she was new here, so I have to show her how wonderful Carousel Boutique was! “Umm….this is how my mane is,” The Unicorn answered. I shook my head. “Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!!!” I repeatedly said, “That won’t do, Darling!” Then, I came up from behind her. “Huh?! What are you doing?!” Snowcatcher asked as I started pushing her inside of Carousel Boutique. “Your new mane will become fabulous!” I said as I sat her down in one of my salon chairs. “Do you need help with anything?” Spike asked, running up to me with Rainbow Dash behind him. “Aww, Darling, you can get me that shampoo,” I said, pointing to it. He nodded and then went to get it. “Uhh, this is Snowcatcher; Snowcatcher this is Rarity,” Rainbow Dash introduced, “Rarity makes dresses and fashion. She’s the Fashionista of the group.” “I also work with hair and makeup if a mare needs some help,” I explained, closing my eyes, “Like you, Dear! Oh, no offense!” “No, it’s okay,” Snowcatcher replied, “My hair is pretty hard to handle, so good luck!” “Sweetie, I don’t need luck!” I proudly said, “Who needs luck when you have talent!” “Oh, that reminds me!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed, “Rarity can find gems, too!” I nodded as Spike handed me the shampoo bottle. “Wow!” Snowcatcher said in amazement, “Hey Dash, did you tell her about my talent?” “Oh yeah!” Rainbow Dash replied, “Snowcatcher lives in Cloudsdale! Since she’s so good catching snowflakes and making the awesomest snowflakes ever, she’s on the Weather Team!” “What?!” I exclaimed, squirting the shampoo all over Snowcatcher! “HEY!!!” Snowcatcher shouted. “Oops, sorry Dear,” I apologized, sweating and blushing, “Spike, go get me some towels, please!” Spike nodded, and then he ran into the bathroom. “Yup! It’s all true!” Rainbow Dash stated. I was in awe! “How can you walk on the clouds?” I asked as Spike handed me the towels. “I was born with it, so it’s like I’m a Pegasus, but I’m not,” Snowcatcher explained, “Do you get it?” “Yes, yes indeed I do!” I replied as I wiped the shampoo off of her coat, “Now let’s begin!” *60 Minutes later* Rainbow Dash was asleep inside my room. Spike was still up, yet I could see that he was sleepy. He either brought me the wrong stuff or his eyes would close, but then quickly open up! Thus, I told Spike I had everything under control, so he went asleep in Sweetie Belle’s room. Sweetie Belle and her friends went out to find their Cutie Marks, so she won’t be home until hours! I was almost done with Snowcatcher’s hair, anyways. I was parting, straightening, and then curling her hair. “And,” I said excitedly, “Done!” I gave Snowcatcher a mirror and she was in awe! “It looks just like your hair,” Snowcatcher said shakily at first, but then grew excited, “I love it!” “Yay!!!” I exclaimed, “You really do?!” “Of course!” Snowcatcher responded. I jumped for joy! “OOOH!!! I have to wake up the others!” I chirped, “I’ll be right back!” “Okay, take your time,” Snowcatcher replied as I left, “My plan is working!” Then, Snowcatcher did an evil grin! > What Just Happened?! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I went into my room to wake up Rainbow Dash first. “Rainbow, get up! I’m finished with Snowcatcher’s hair! You need to see it!” I said as I shook Rainbow Dash so she could wake up. One of her eyes opened. “Mom, five more minutes,” She moaned. “Rainbow, I’m not your mom! Get up!” I shouted as I pushed her out of the bed. She landed with a thump as she fully woke up! “OW!!!” Rainbow Dash yelled, “Why did you do that?!” “I’m sorry, Darling, but over sleeping isn’t good,” I replied, sounding like her MOM, “Also, Snowcatcher’s hair is done! You’ve got to see it!” All of a sudden, Rainbow Dash flew up, and then she flew out the door to see Snowcatcher’s hair! “Where is she?!” Rainbow Dash asked, looking around, “Snowcatcher where are you?!” “I’m over here, Dash!” Snowcatcher said, waving, “Don’t I look amazing!” *Meanwhile with Rarity* Then, I went into Sweetie Belle’s room to wake Spike up. I peeked through the door to sleep an adorable baby Dragon sleeping! I almost didn’t want to wake him up. I just wanted the Angel to be in forever peace! He deserved the rest, anyways! I mean, he has been retrieving my things I needed, so I’ll give him five more minutes. No, I’ll give him ten more minutes! Thus, I closed the door and went into the room where Rainbow Dash and Snowcatcher were. Rainbow Dash’s P.O.V. My mouth dropped! Her hair did look amazing since it was poofy at first, but now it was tamed! Rarity really had to give her hairstyle to Snowcatcher? That is just like Rarity! Why couldn’t she do something else? Who cares, I guess! It did look awesome on her, so I guess everything was okay. I sat down next to her and studied her hair. I pretended like I didn’t really notice it before. “It’s awesome!” I exclaimed while still pretending. Then, Rarity came into the room. “I know right!” Rarity chirped, “I did a great job, didn’t I?” “Yes, yes you did!” Snowcatcher and I replied. Then, Snowcatcher leaned down to my ear. “I know that you think I look like Rarity,” She whispered. I blushed, “Yeah, a little, I guess…” She giggled and so did I. Rarity just had a big grin on her face. “So, where’s Spike?” I asked, changing the subject. Rarity blushed. “I’m giving him ten more minutes of sleep,” She replied. “You couldn’t give me ten more minutes of sleep?!” I complained, glaring at Rarity. “W-W-Well, he deserved it! He’s been giving me the things that I need while doing Snowcatcher’s hair. He was tired, Darling, so I’m giving him more time to rest up. In fact, he did stay up longer than you did, Dear,” She explained, making my argument sound defenseless. “Fine!” I replied, crossing my arms. Snowcatcher laughed. “Come on, Dash! Don’t you still have to show me around some more?” Snowcatcher asked, but then Spike wobbled into the room. “Spikey Wikey, you’re up!” Rarity said, running up to Spike and giving him a kiss on the cheek, “Look at Snowcatcher’s hair, Darling!” Spike rubbed his eyes as he got a better look at Rarity’s Masterpiece. “B-B-Beautiful!” Spike replied, blushing. “I know right!” Rarity proudly said, “I did a wonderful job!” I just face hoofed. “No, Snowcatcher,” Spike said, getting closer to Snowcatcher, “You’re beautiful!” “Why, t-t-thank you!” Snowcatcher replied, blushing. All of a sudden, Rarity’s mouth dropped! > Left Alone to Cry! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Snowcatcher’s P.O.V. Yes, that means that my plans are working! Stupid Rarity will never suspect a thing! My plan is to take everypony that Rarity cares about away! I’m so jealous of her! I hate her with her perfect, fabulous self! Well, I’m special too, you know! Everywhere I lived, somepony’s always talking about Rarity’s designs! I couldn’t stand her, so if I amaze her friends and steal her “Dragonfriend” away, she’ll be all alone! Oh, and my hair isn’t naturally poofy! I just made it like that because I knew that Rarity would make me look like her when a met her with a disaster on my head! Then, I snickered. I have to act innocent now. “Oh my!” I exclaimed, “Rarity I just think that Spike means I’m beautiful because I remind him of you!” “Yeah, I’m sure you’re right!” Rarity replied, her face getting red, “Isn’t that right, Spikey Wikey?” Spike was floating with tiny pink and red hearts around him. Then, POOF! He snapped out of it! “Uhh, yeah!” Spike replied, “Of course!” Then, he started nervously laughing. “I-I-I can’t,” Rarity said with tears rolling down her face, “I can’t believe you!” Spike rushed over to her, grabbing her arm, but then she pulled away! “Don’t touch me!” Rarity screamed. Rainbow Dash walked towards Rarity. “Rare, come on,” Rainbow Dash comforted, “He didn’t mean it like that.” “Why…” Was the only thing Rarity said. I had to hold in my laughter. My plan is working so far! I can’t believe it! “Rarity,” Spike called out, holding out his claw. Tears started coming down Spike’s face now! “Just leave me alone,” Rarity said so low that it was almost a whisper. “But-“ Spike started. “JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!!” Rarity shouted as she ran out of her own house! Spike dropped to his knees as he stared at the open door. Fresh tears were pouring down his face! “Uhh, come on Snowcatcher,” Rainbow Dash said, turning to me, “Let’s go to Fluttershy’s house now.” I nodded as we left the baby Dragon to cry. > Keep Calm and Flutter On! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rarity’s P.O.V. I just kept running! I didn’t want to stop no matter how much my hooves and legs burned! I didn’t know where I was going! It didn’t matter! I just wanted to get away from Spike! Wait! I could go see Twilight! She lives with Spike, so she would know how to help me! Thus, I stopped running and starting trotting to Twilight’s house! Rainbow Dash’s P.O.V. “Here, we finally made it to Fluttershy’s Cottage!” I exclaimed as I knocked on Fluttershy’s door. Therefore, I was greeted by the peaceful, graceful, yellow, shy Pegasus. “Oh, hello Rainbow Dash! What brings you here?” Fluttershy asked as she fully opened the door, “Um, who is this?” Fluttershy started blushing while hiding behind the door. “Well, I’m here because I wanted you to meet Snowcatcher! Snowcatcher this is the shy, little Fluttershy,” I introduced, trying to push Fluttershy away from the door. “Hi!” Snowcatcher responded, putting her hoof out for Fluttershy to shake. She just ran back inside her house and squeaked! “Excuse me,” I said as I went inside Fluttershy’s house. Snowcatcher’s P.O.V. I started to hear bangs and crashes! WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THERE?! Then, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash came out! “Snowcatcher is on the Weather Team because her talent deals with snowflakes,” Rainbow Dash explained, holding Fluttershy next to her. “Oh, well that’s interesting! My talent deals with animals!” Fluttershy replied, blushing. “Really?! I love animals!” I exclaimed as Fluttershy’s wings opened up with excitement! Then, she quickly flew next to me! “Whenever you want, do you want to come over my house to have an animal play date?!” Fluttershy asked excitedly! “Sure!” I exclaimed, grinning. We all laughed, but then we heard banging noises coming from Fluttershy’s house. “Angel Bunny is trying to eat, so I have to go. Nice to meet you, though,” Fluttershy explained as she walked into her house. “Well, I guess I should take you home now,” Rainbow Dash said to me. “Okay!” I said. With that, we were on our way! > One More Chance! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rarity’s P.O.V. As I arrived at Twilight’s house, I quickly pounded on her door! “Oh, hi Rarity. I thought you were with Spike,” Twilight said as she opened the door. “Twilight, we have to talk,” I seriously responded as I stepped in. “What’s wrong?” Twilight asked taking a seat on her couch. Then, she offered me to sit next to her so I did. I told her everything about what had just happened. She started to rub her chin, thinking. “Rarity, you know that Spike loves you no matter what! So what if she likes Snowcatcher’s hair and called her beautiful! Like what Snowcatcher said, he only said that because she reminded him of you! Rarity, you have to go back to Spike,” Twilight explained while making tea, picking up the cups with her magic. “Thanks Twilight! I guess you’re right! You’re a great friend, Twilight,” I replied, sipping my tea, “I guess I should go see Spike now.” I put down my cup of tea and ran out the door to find Spike! > We Got Plans > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Spike? Spike? Are you still here?” I questioned as I entered into my house. As I walked further into my house, I noticed a note. I picked it up and read it. “Rarity, I know you came here looking for me. I already left! I’m going to ask Rainbow Dash where Snowcatcher lives. I’m heading over to get the Hot-Air Balloon and take off to go ask her. I guess you can say that we are taking a break. I hope that we can still be friends. I will always love you even if you might not love me. Love, Spike” “No Spikey Wikey!” I said as I dropped the note, tears forming in my eyes, “Why?” Should I go after him? Is this really the end of our relationship? Is he going to be with Snowcatcher now? I had so many thoughts and questions running through my head, but I knew that I had to win Spike back! That Snowcatcher mare will pay for this! I would have to do something special for Spike, but what? Then it hit me! Spike’s P.O.V. “Thanks and I will make sure that this balloon won’t fly away again like it did last time,” I told Cherry Berry. “You sure you don’t want me to come with you?” She asked. “Nah, I have some personal stuff to do,” I replied as I got inside the balloon. “Well, I could stay in the balloon and watch it while you do your personal stuff,” She suggested. “I have to stay in the balloon anyway because I’m going to Cloudsdale,” I responded, “It won’t be long, though!” “Well since it won’t be long,” She said as she jumped in as well, “Let’s me come too!” “Fine!” I gave up. “Yay!” She cheered. Thus, we were on our way. *A Few Minutes Later* “Well we’re here!” Cherry Berry announced. “I know that,” I mumbled. “What?” Cherry Berry asked. “Oh nothing!” I said, “RAINBOW! HEY RAINBOW, YA UP?!” SHOOSH, ZIP, ZOOM!!! We were welcomed by the cyan blue, rainbow mane, awesome Pegasus named Rainbow Dash! “What’s up Spike?” Rainbow asked as she was hovering over me and Cherry Berry. “Do you know where Snowcatcher lives?” I asked. Rainbow titled her head to the side as she put her hoof up to her chin to think. “I think she lives three houses down,” Rainbow replied, “Why do you ask?” “Reasons,” I quickly responded, “Can you tell her to meet me tomorrow at Twilight’s house?” “Sure!” Rainbow replied, “What time?” “At noon,” I responded. Rainbow nodded her head. “That’s all?” She asked. Then I nodded my head. “Well okay then! See ya later Spike!” “See ya!” I replied as we both waved goodbye. “Wow that was fast!” Cherry Berry said as we were traveling back to Ponyville. “I told you!” I replied. *A Few Minutes Later….Again* “Thanks you letting me use the balloon again, Cherry Berry,” I responded as I got out. “You’re welcome, Spike,” She replied as she got out. “Bye,” I said as I waved goodbye. Then she waved back, “Goodbye Spike!” Then I started walking back to Twilight’s house. > Surprises, Surprises! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *The Next Day* Spike’s P.O.V. “It’s noon, so Snowcatcher should be here anytime soon,” I said as I waited outside for her. “Spike! Spike! I’m here!” Snowcatcher called out as she ran closer to me. “Hey Snowcatcher! How’s it going?” I asked as she stood in front of me. “It’s going good, but I feel bad about the Rarity thing, though,” Snowcatcher replied, hanging her head low. “Uhh, don’t worry about it!” I replied, trying to cheer her up. “No! I feel like it’s my fault,” Snowcatcher replied with tears in her eyes and blushing. I ran up to hug her. “It’s not, trust me!” I responded, hugging her, “That’s why I wanted you to come here. I have to ask you a question.” “What is it?” She asked as she accepted the hug. “Will you…” I began. “Will I what?” Snowcatcher asked. “Will…you….gooutwithme?” I quickly asked. “Huh?” She asked, moving closer to me. “Will…you…go….” I tried to say, “out…with….” “Will I go out with you? Sure!” Snowcatcher replied. My mouth dropped as I looked up at her. “Really? You will?” I asked, blushing. “Sure, why not!” She giggled, “Where do you want to go?” “Umm…not sure,” I responded, rubbing the back of my head. “How about Sugarcube Corner?” She asked. “Sure! How about tomorrow at two?” I asked as Snowcatcher nodded her head. “Great! See ya there!” Snowcatcher said as she turned around to leave. “Okay, bye!” I said as I waved, but then she quickly turned around. “But first,” She said as she came closer to me. “What do you-“ I began, but then Snowcatcher planted her lips on my left cheek. “Uhh…” Was the only thing I was able to say. “Bye Spike,” She said as she giggled, and then she left. I wobbled back into the house with hearts in my eyes. Rarity’s P.O.V. I’ve been working nonstop for several hours! I wanted to make sure my plan goes perfect! I didn’t want to lose Spike to that cretin! How dare her! If this plan goes well, Spike will be crawling back to me! As I put the blue prints down, I walked over to my new dress I had just made for my plan. “This dress is perfect!” I beamed as I held it up with my magic. (It looks like the picture.) It was a long red dress. The front had a red and dark orange striped pattern. The back had a ruffle-like pattern and it was red. The bottom was light orange and dark orange with a wavy design and where the colors separated, there was a golden flower. There was a red ribbon separating the front from the bottom. I also had some dazzling accessories to go with the dress! I had two necklaces with pearls on it, and I had one necklace with red roses on it. I had gorgeous red heels and long red socks also. I also had two pearl earrings to wear and a white tiara with a purple circle in the middle! I know I would look beautiful in all of this! I quickly put everything on as hummed a tune in my head. It was the song I was going to sing to Spike! I hurriedly rushed out the door to go to Twilight’s house! Spike will love my surprise! I just know it! > Broken-Hearted Mare > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Twilight, Twilight, are you there?” I asked, rapidly knocking on her door, “It’s me, Rarity!” “I’m coming!” Twilight said as she opened the door, “Uhh, Rarity why do you have on a black cloak?” Oh that’s right! I put on this black cloak, so Spike wouldn’t see what I had on before I gave him the “surprise.” “Uhh, reasons,” I replied, blushing and sweating, “Anyways, is Spike home?” “Yeah, but you should know something-“ Twilight began before Spike came running downstairs. “Is it Sno-“ Spike began, “Oh, hey Rarity.” He seemed a bit down when he saw me. “May I come in?” I asked, grinning. Spike opened the door some more and gestured me to come in, “After you!” “Thanks!” I said, trotting inside the house. “So, what’s up Rarity?” He asked, closing the door behind me. “Here goes nothing,” I thought as I slipped the cloak off, relieving my beautiful dress! “What’s all this?” Spike asked in awe. “It’s your surprise!” I responded, magically placing the radio I had in the cloak on a table next to me. “Surprise? What is going on?!” Spike asked. “Just sit, relax, and enjoy the show!” I replied, magically picking him up and setting him down on the couch while Twilight went into the kitchen. “Rarity, I’m making tea, okay?” She asked. “Okay!” I called, and then I pressed play on the radio. As the beat started to play, I magically lifted a small microphone I also had in the cloak. “This is for you, Spikey Wikey!” I said, “It’s called Broken-Hearted Mare!” Spike sat there in silence, waiting for me to sing. “You're everything I thought you never were And nothing like I thought you could have been But still, you live inside of me, so tell me how is that? You're the only one I wish I could forget The only one I love to not forgive And though you break my heart, you're the only one And though there are times when I hate you 'Cause I can't erase The times that you hurt me and put tears on my face And even now, while I hate you, it pains me to say I know I'll be there at the end of the day I don't wanna be without you, babe I don't want a broken heart Don't wanna take a breath without you, babe I don't wanna play that part I know that I love you, but let me just say I don't wanna love you in no kind of way, no no I don't want a broken heart I don't wanna play the broken-hearted mare No, no, no broken-hearted mare There's something that I feel I need to say But up til' now I've always been afraid that you would never come around And still I wanna put this out You say you've got the most respect for me But, sometimes I feel you're not deserving of me And still, you're in my heart But you're the only one And yes, there are times when I hate you, but I don't complain 'Cause I've been afraid that you would walk away Oh, but now I don't hate you I'm happy to say That I will be there at the end of the day I don't wanna be without you, babe I don't want a broken heart Don't wanna take a breath without you, babe I don't wanna play that part I know that I love you, but let me just say I don't wanna love you in no kind of way, no no I don't want a broken heart I don't wanna play the broken-hearted mare No, no, no broken-hearted mare Now I'm at a place I thought I'd never be, ooh I'm living in a world that's all about you and me, yeah Ain't gotta be afraid, my broken heart is free to spread my wings and fly away, away with you... I don't wanna be without my baby I don't want a broken heart Don't wanna take a breath without my baby I don't wanna play that part I know that I love you, but let me just say I don't wanna love you in no kind of way, no no I don't want a broken heart I don't wanna play the broken-hearted mare No, no, no broken-hearted mare Broken-hearted mare No, no, no broken-hearted mare No broken-hearted mare!” I sang. When the beat ended, Twilight dimmed the lights for effect. I mouthed “thank you” to her as Twilight nodded her head. “Spikey Wikey, what do you say? Will you give me a second chance?” I asked as Twilight turned the lights back on. “Oh, well, about that,” He began. “Spikey Wikey!” I cried as my eyes sparkled due to tears forming in my eyes. I couldn’t cry now; my makeup will run! Suddenly, Twilight came in with the tea. “Here ya go!” She said as she quickly gave Spike and I our tea. I nodded as I took a sip. “Look Rarity, I like you and all-“ He began before I cut him off. “LIKE ME!??! YOU USED TO LOVE ME; NO, YOU USED TO BE OBSESSED WITH ME!!?? WHAT’S GOING ON?!!?” I shouted, almost spilling the tea on my new dress. I squeaked as I quickly caught the tea and put it back in the teacup with my magic. Then, I quickly started drinking the rest of my tea. “I’m dating Snowcatcher now,” Spike explained. “WHAT??!!” I did a spit take! The tea was all over Twilight. “Hehe, uhh, my apologies Twilight!” Twilight gave me a glare. “How about no tea!” Twilight replied, lifting all of our teacups with her magic and going back into the kitchen. “Sorry!” I called out. “It’s okay! I need to get washed up, anyway!” She called back out. “Rarity, I’m sorry, but I asked Snowcatcher out already,” Spike explained, “It’s too late now!” “B-B-But I did all this for you, Spikey Wikey!” I responded, heartbroken! “Thanks, but it’s too late,” Spike replied, hanging down his head, “Oh, and by the way, call me Spike from now on!” “B-But-“ I tried to say, but nothing came out except for tears, “FINE!!! WHO NEEDS YOU!!??” I ran towards the door, but then turned to face Spike. “Oh, and tell Miss Snow Licker that I need to speak with her!” I shouted as I bolted out the door. Spike started to cry as Twilight came back in with a towel wrapped around her. “It’s okay Spike,” Twilight said, “Let me speak with Rarity. I’m sure everything is going to be just fine!” “I don’t know, Twi, but thank you,” Spike replied as Twilight nodded. Then, she wrapped her hooves around him, trying to stop him from crying. > Sleepover! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spike’s P.O.V. I felt terrible about what just happened! I couldn’t believe what I just did! Why did I say those horrible things?! What is wrong with me?! No, I need to stop this! I can’t just sit here and cry about this! I’m sorry, but I need to forget about Rarity! Snowcatcher is with me now, and tomorrow we are going to have a great time! I just know it! I quickly wiped my eyes and nodded at Twilight to let her know that I was fine. She nodded back, and then she went back into the bathroom to finish drying off. “I can’t wait till tomorrow!” I said to myself, walking upstairs to my bed. Maybe an afternoon nap will clear and relax my mind. Rarity’s P.O.V. Why Spike, why? Why did he have to say those things?! How could he?! Snowcatcher will pay for this! When I finally reached my house, I quickly opened the door. At least I’m here by myself for a little while. Sweetie Belle is with her friends- “Hey sis!” A voice shouted as I stepping inside. I turned my attention to the corner of the room. There stood three little fillies. “Hello Darling!” I replied, coming closer, “Sweetie Belle, why are your friends here? I thought you were going to have a sleepover Applejack’s house.” “Well, we were, but then sis thought that it would have been a good idea if we had one here!” Apple Bloom explained. “I’m going to GET Applejack!” I thought, gritting my teeth together. Scootaloo titled her head to the side. “Why are you making that face?” She asked. I quickly put a huge smile on my face. “Hehe, uhh. Oh, no reason!” I responded, sweating and then quickly changing the subject, “Girls, I would love for you to have your sleepover here, I really would, but I just need some time to myself.” “Does it have something to do with that pretty dress you have on?” asked Sweetie Belle. What? Where’s my cloak and my other stuff? Oh no, I left it at Twilight’s house! “Haha, uhh, yes! Indeed it does!” I quickly replied, blushing. “Now your face is red!” Scootaloo pointed out, “Are you feeling okay?” “Do you have a fever?” Apple Bloom asked, “I can check if you want.” Then, she walked up to me. I stepped back. “Uhh, no, I’m fine! Trust me!” I responded, “Uhh, I know! How about you girls have a sleepover Twilight’s house!” “Umm, I don’t know,” Sweetie Belle replied, rubbing her hoof on her chin. “Yeah, I bet it’s pretty boring over there!” Scootaloo added. “Yeah, all she has are books! No games or nothing!” Apple Bloom agreed. “Oh come on, it isn’t that bad!” I responded, “When you wake up, you’ll have a wonderful view!” I stood there smiling while the Cutie Mark Crusaders sat there, unamused. “Uhh, Spike is a wonderful cook! I bet he’ll make you pancakes in different shapes for you! Like a pony head, or a butterfly, or a bunny!” I added, nodding my head. They still sat there with boring expressions on their faces. “Oh girls, it isn’t that bad! Applejack and I spent the night over her house before and we had fun, so why can’t you?” I asked, giving up. “Well, Applejack did say it was fun!” Apple Bloom replied. “So did you, sis,” Sweetie Belle added. “Well, I’m still not convinced!” Scootaloo responded, crossing her hooves. “There will be S’mores, pillow fights, makeovers, truth or dare, other fun games, and story time for when you go to bed,” I explained. Suddenly, all of their faces lit up! “That does sound fun!” “Well, I guess I stand corrected!” “Let’s go over there right now!” They all said at the same time. “Girls, girls, calm down! I’ll take you over there!” I responded as I walked towards the door, “Come on!” They pushed me out the way, running straight out the door, leaving me! “Wait!” I called out, quickly following behind them. *Minutes Later* “Thank you for looking after the girls, Twilight,” I said, walking towards the door. “It’s no problem!” She replied. “Also, thank you for giving me back my stuff I left over here,” I added. “Ain’t no thang!” Twilight laughed while I laughed with her.“Well, goodbye Twilight!” I said, starting to leave. “Wait!” Twilight said, stopping me, “Are you sure you’re okay?” “Well, I guess I am. I’ll just get over it somehow,” I replied. “Well, if you need anything, I mean ANYTHING at all, let me know! I’ll always be here with you,” Twilight responded, “It’s not like I’m going to turn into an Alicorn Princess or something!” Then we both started laughing. “Twilight, you really are funny!” I replied, wiping the tears from my eyes, “Woo! Where do you get such silliness?!” “Hehe! I don’t know!” Twilight responded. When we finished laughing, I opened the door. “Okay, goodbye Twilight!” I waved as I left. “Bye!” She called out, and then closing the door. > There's A Party?! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *The Next Day at Sugarcube Corner* Spike’s P.O.V. “So, how’s the Cranberry tea, Snowcatcher?” I asked, taking a bit into one of the Gem Cupcakes I bought. “It’s delicious! Your friend Pinkie Pie is talented at bakery!” She replied, taking another sip of her tea. “HIYA!” Pinkie Pie said, coming from under the table. “WAHH!!!” I screamed, falling backwards. “Oopies! Sorry Spike! Are you okay?” She asked, helping me up. “It’s okay, and yeah, I’m okay,” I responded, calming myself down. “Hehe! SO, how’s the food?” Pinkie asked. “It’s wonderful!” Snowcatcher exclaimed. “Thank you!” Pinkie beamed. “Hey Pinkie, I’m gonna have a party tomorrow,” Snowcatcher explained, “Want to come?” BOOM!!! Pinkie flew in the air like a rocket! “OFCOURSEIDO!IFTHERE’SAPARTY,I’MTHERE!!!” Pinkie quickly replied, landing next to Snowcatcher. “Cool! I can’t wait to see you there!” Snowcatcher beamed, “How about you Spike? Do you want to go also?” “Sure!” I exclaimed, “I’m there!” Snowcatcher giggled and pinched my cheek. “That’s my little Spikey Wikey!” She said, still pinching my cheek. Spikey Wikey. That’s what Rarity used to call me. Celestia, I missed her! Stop it Spike! You’re with Snowcatcher now, so stop thinking about Rarity! I started pounding my head with my claws as I closed my eyes! Then, Pinkie Pie and Snowcatcher gave me strange glances. “Spike, uhh, you okay?” I heard Pinkie ask. “Umm, yeah, why wouldn’t I be?!” I quickly responded as I stopped. “Because, you were closing your eyes while hitting yourself!” Pinkie explained. “Oh, I was, uhh, thinking about everypony else you should invite, Snowcatcher!” I quickly explained while sweat was rolling off my face. “Oh, well, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Twilight, you and Pinkie, of course,” Snowcatcher said, naming all of our friends, “and Rarity!” Rarity. “Uhh, okay,” I replied, lowering my head, and then Snowcatcher noticed. “Oh, I totally forgot!” Snowcatcher said, “I hope inviting Rarity wouldn’t cause a problem!” “No, it’s okay,” I responded. “Oh, then yay!” Snowcatcher exclaimed, grinning. Seeing her smile made me smile! “Can I help set it up?” Pinkie exclaimed, biting her lip while blushing. “Sure Pinkie! But I live in Cloudsdale, so you need a spell that can allow you to walk on clouds,” Snowcatcher explained. “I can ask Twilight!” Pinkie responded. “Oh, I just not thought about it; everypony else also needs Twilight’s spell,” Snowcatcher replied. “It’s okay! We’ll all ask Twilight before we go!” Pinkie explained. “Okay, good!” exclaimed Snowcatcher. “And I just need my… PARTY CANNON!!!” exclaimed Pinkie Pie. We all started laughing. “Okay, it’s a date then!” I said when everypony stopped laughing. “Alright! I’ll see you guys there!” Pinkie exclaimed, “See ya later Snowcatcher and Spike!” “See ya Pinkie!” I said, waving. “Bye Pinkie Pie!” Snowcatcher said, doing the same. Pinkie waved and then she went into the back behind the counter. “Well, are you ready to go?” I asked, standing up and walking towards her. “Sure!” She responded as we walked out together. > It's All about Winning Them Over! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *The Next Day at the Party* Snowcatcher’s P.O.V. “Thank you everypony for coming! I would like to thank Vinyl Scratch for being the DJ,” I announced. “Move Your Body” By Ponfel 65 (It’s really called Eiffel 65) started playing. “Work your mind mind Work your body move your mind Move your mind mind Work your body body Work your mind mind Work your body move your mind Move your mind mind Work your body move your,” The song played. “I love this song!” exclaimed Pinkie Pie. “I know! This song is awesome!” Rainbow agreed. Then, Rainbow started doing this cool looking dance. Pinkie and I joined in. Soon, everypony else joined in except for Spike. “What’s wrong Spike?” I asked, still dancing. “Well, I was just wondering where Rarity was,” He replied, twirling his thumbs. Why is he worrying about her when he has me?! UGH!!! I lied and said I would invite her, but I didn’t so I had to make an excuse. “Oh, she uhh, had dresses to make, so she’s busy,” I quickly responded while still dancing, “Besides, you have me; there’s no need to worry about her anymore!” “Oh, yeah right,” He sadly said. I had to cheer him up fast! “Uhh, Spike, come on, and dance with me!” I quickly said, trying to cheer him up, “Don’t you love this song?” “Move your body, Every everypony. Move your body, Come on now everypony. Move your body, move your body. Everypony come on now everypony,” The song played. Spike started to tap his foot. “I guess I could,” Spike responded, getting into the rhythm. “COME ON, SPIKEY!!!” Pinkie cheered, still dancing. “Okay!” He exclaimed, dancing with the rest of the gang. We all laughed and cheered him on. “You want to move the world, Start with your body. Yo, come on you gotta start with something. If you wanna move your mind, Just move your body. Move your mind, move your mind, It's gonna cost you nothing. You want to move somepony, Start with your body. Yo come on and try to move somepony. If you wanna move alone, Then everypony will move along with you,” The song played. When the song finally ended, Pinkie started passing out party treats. It was simple stuff like cupcakes, cookies, punch, and ice cream. Though, it was still tasty for this pink loser! “How does the party treats taste?” Pinkie asked everypony. “Awesome!” Rainbow shouted. “Great!” Applejack called out. “It’s wonderful!” Fluttershy replied. “These are good!” Twilight added. “It feels like a party in my mouth!” Spike exclaimed. “I love them!” I yelled. “Yay!” cheered Pinkie, taking another bite of her cupcake she had in her hoof. “Hey Snow, how ‘bout you help me get rid of some clouds tomorrow first thing in the morning?” Rainbow asked me, “I was suppose to do it by myself, but it’s a pain doing all that work by yourself! You know what I mean?” “Yeah I did, and sure!” I replied. I need to make a good impression on them if I’m gonna win them over. “Gee thanks!” Rainbow responded. I nodded. Suddenly, everypony else started asking me to help them with stuff tomorrow. Twilight wanted me to help organize her books, Fluttershy wanted me to help her feed her animals and play with them, and Applejack wanted me to help her buck some apple trees. Spike was the only one who didn’t ask for anything. I sure was glad about that! Though, I was still mad that I had to help all these morons tomorrow just to steal them away from Rarity! Then, we decided to play games. We played the games that Pinkie thought everypony would enjoy. I thought these games were for two year olds! She had games like Pin-The-Tail-On-The-Pony, Bobbing for Candy, Red Light Green Light, and board games. It seemed that everypony else still enjoyed it. Wow, these ponies are lame! I can’t believe I have to pretend to be their friends! When the party was finally over, everypony decided to help clean up. At least they’re cleaning up my house before they leave. That’s one good thing about them! Rainbow Dash was the only one who was kind of slacking off with her work. I know that she doesn’t like cleaning, but come on, you could respect my house! When they FINALLY got done cleaning, I said goodbye to them as they left. Before Spike left, he gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek and then went out the door. Yuck! Also, I can’t believe I have to pretend to like him! Why would Rarity like a Baby Dragon?! That’s just weird! “Finally they’re gone!” I shouted with relief when they all left, slamming my door closed. > Not So Good Help > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *The Next Day* Rarity’s P.O.V. I decided to take a stroll around Ponyville to clear my mind. I think I’ll stop by Twilight’s place to see how she’s doing. For some reason, I didn’t see any of my friends yesterday. I wonder what happened! It’s not normal for them to just stay inside their houses all day, especially Pinkie Pie! “Twi, are you there?” I asked, knocking on her door. I pushed the door and it opened! Why would the door not be locked? Umm that’s weird, but I just walked in to find- “Hi Rarity! How are you?” asked Snowcatcher. “Uhh, hi, and I’m doing okay,” I responded, getting very confused, “Why are you here?” “Huh? Whadda mean?” Snowcatcher asked. “Oh, not trying to sound rude,” I replied. “Oh, it’s okay,” She replied, “Well, Twilight asked me to come over here and help her organize her books.” “Where’s Twilight?” I asked, getting a little angry. “Snowcatcher, I find the ladder,” Twilight said, coming into the room, carrying a ladder with heels with her magic, “Oh, hey Rarity!” “Hi Twilight,” I said, turning to her. “Snowcatcher is here to help organize my books,” She replied, putting the ladder beside one on her many book shelves. “So I heard,” I replied, nervously laughing while glancing at Snowcatcher. Twilight giggled, “Wanna help, Rarity?” “Umm, I wouldn’t really know where goes where, and I’ll get very confused,” I confessed, sweating and blushing. Twilight giggled once more, “It’s okay. Oh, and Rarity, why didn’t you set your work aside and come to the party?” “Huh? What party?” I asked. “Uhh, Twilight shouldn’t we get to work? I mean, I have to go help everypony else, remember? If I get this done early, I can go help Pinkie quicker,” Snowcatcher replied, sweating. “Oh yeah, I forgot,” Twilight replied, “Well, Rarity please excuse us.” “Okay, well, goodbye Twilight,” I responded, “Goodbye Snowcatcher.” They both waved as I closed the door behind me and left. What party was Twilight talking about? Why did Snowcatcher try to cover it up? Wait, no way! That Snowcatcher has something to do with it, I bet! I’m watching her! I have to find out more about this “party!” I continued my walk, and then I reached Sugarcube Corner. If there was a party, Pinkie would know about it! Thus, I started knocking on her door. “Hiya Rar!” The party pony greeted me, opening the door and pushing me inside, “Whatcha here for?” “Umm, well, I wanted to stop by because I was just taking a stroll,” I replied, sounding casual. “Oh, awesome! Wanna play a game before Snow gets here?” Pinkie asked. “Snow?” I replied, something inside me sinking. “Yeah, I gave Snowcatcher a nickname! It’s Snow!” Pinkie giggled. Oh my, why did she do that?! Basically, if Pinkie gives a pony a nickname, (not including the random ponies) it means they’re welcomed into the group. I don’t want her to be in our group! “Oh, well, that’s n-nice,” I replied, sniffing. “Rarity, are you okay?” Pinkie asked, walking next to me and putting her hoof around my shoulder, “It looks like you’re about to cry!” “N-N-No I’m not! I-I’m fine!” I cried while Pinkie tried to hug me but I pushed her away and rushed out the door! “WAIT, RAR, COME BACK!!!” I heard Pinkie called while I ran towards Fluttershy’s house. *Meanwhile at Twilight’s House* Snowcatcher’s P.O.V. I really didn’t want to be here, but it was for my plan, so I just went with it! I didn’t care about books. Reading is stupid, lame, and boring! I don’t even know where these stupid books go! I just picked up a bunch of books with my magic and dumped them on top of me, so Twilight could help me. I noticed that each book was organized by color, so I did what Twilight did. Though, there was this huge, brown, old looking book called “The Elements of Harmony.” Huh, what can of book is this, and where does it go? I threw it in the garbage while Twilight wasn’t looking because I didn’t know where it goes. I’m sure she wouldn’t miss an old book like that, anyway! “Okay, we’re finally done!” Twilight said, wiping the sweat away from her face. “Yeah, and if you’ll excuse me, I have to go help Pinkie Pie now,” I replied, worrying to the door and opening it. “Okay,” Twilight said, waving as I waved back and left. *A Few Minutes Later* “So Pinkie, what are we doing?” I asked as I entered the door. “You’re gonna help me bake some treats!” She replied, bouncing up and down. “What kind of treats?” I asked, pretending to get excited. “All kinds of treats!” She replied, “Like cake, cupcakes, muffins, and other sweets!” “Oh cool!” I replied, secretly unamused. “THEN LET’S GET THE BAKING!” Pinkie exclaimed, pushing me into the kitchen. She gave me a hat and an apron. She also gave me a mixing bowl and some ingredients. “So, what are we making first?” I questioned, putting on the hat and the apron. “Muffins for Derpy!” She replied, jumping up and down once more. I clapped my hooves together, “Hooray!” “You still remember how to bake, right?” She asked, taking out measuring cups. “Yeah, of course I do!” I lied. I didn’t know the first thing about baking! “Ever baked muffins?” She questioned, taking out the rest of the stuff we needed. “Yeah!” I lied once more. “Okay, then begin!” She exclaimed. I just put random stuff into the mixing bowl. I put coke, chips, bananas, random candy, and some of my hair that fell in into the bowl. I quickly mixed everything together and poured it into one of the muffin pans that Pinkie brought out. Pinkie was still making her muffins, looking like a boss! I hope me finishing so fast wouldn’t make me look like an amateur! When I got down pouring it, I put the pan into the oven. “Well, I gotta go help Fluttershy,” I quickly said, not wanting to bake anything else. Pinkie looked at me with sweat coming down her face. “Aren’t you gonna wait till your muffins get done baking?” She asked. “I would, but I really have to go help Fluttershy, so can you do it?” I asked, stepping outside her house. Pinkie nodded as I left. *Rarity’s P.O.V.* “Thank you Fluttershy for understanding,” I said, sitting next to Fluttershy on her couch. “Of course! If you think Snowcatcher is a meanie pants, then I’ll find out today!” She replied. “What do you mean?” I asked. “Well, she’s coming over to my house today to help me feed my animals. Today is the Big Feeding Day! I’m even going to feed animals that aren’t mine, like animals that don’t have homes,” Fluttershy explained. I nodded my head to show her I understood, “Well, what time is she going to come?” “Well-“ She began, but then the door flung open! “Hello Fluttershy! I’m here!” I heard a voice say. > Getting To the Bottom of This! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Oh, hi Snowcatcher,” Fluttershy greeted as I got up to leave. “Oh, hello to the both of you,” Snowcatcher said until she noticed me leaving, “Rarity, why don’t you stay?” What is this?! “Umm, I have to go,” I said nervously. “Oh, that’s fine,” Snowcatcher replied, sitting on the couch next to Fluttershy. I winked at Fluttershy letting her know to keep an eye out for Snowcatcher. She winked back as I walked out the door. *Snowcatcher’s P.O.V.* “So, which animals are we feeding first?” I inquired, trying to sound like I cared. Fluttershy kept staring at me; it was creepy! “Uhh, yes?” Then she stopped, “Oh, nothing…first we’re gonna feed the animals I have in my home, and then we feed the homeless animals…is that alright with you?!” Fluttershy was all up in my face, staring! I backed up, “Uhh, yeah. Say Shy, are you okay? You keep staring at me and stuff,” She quickly stopped, “Of course! Now let’s get the feeding!” She pulled out bags of feeding with labels to show which animal it belonged to. While Fluttershy was feeding some birds and her pet bunny, Angel, I just picked a random bag. It had Sunflower seeds in it. Not caring, I gave them to some squirrels. Next, I got another bag that had fish in it and gave it to some mice. Then, I got another bag which was filled with carrots and gave it to some raccoons. The animals ate the food like there was no tomorrow, so I guess it was fine! “I’m done!” I said. “Oh, that’s great news! I guess you can go outside and start feeding the homeless animals. I’ll be out there right when I get finished,” Fluttershy replied, feeding some chipmunks. “Uhh, well, I have to go help Applejack. I’m so sorry, Fluttershy,” I explained, not wanting to feed some stupid homeless animals. “Oh okay,” She replied a little sad. I walked towards the door, “Maybe next time!” “Okay,” She replied, waving. I waved back and then left. *Rarity’s P.O.V.* I was on my way to Applejack’s house until I saw Snowcatcher a few feet in front of me! Don’t tell me she’s going there too! Ugh, why?! I’m so tired of this pony! I quickly jumped into the bushes to watch her. I hated the twigs and leaves but I set that aside to spy on Snowcatcher. I kept watching her until she disappeared, so I got closer and closer to her until we reached Sweet Apple Acres! Applejack was waiting outside for her. “Hi Applejack! Did you say we’re gonna buck some apple trees?” Snowcatcher asked, approaching Applejack. “Howdy Snow! And yeah, we are!” AJ replied, “Wait, right here. I’m gonna go get the carts and buckets to put the apples in.” Snowcatcher smiled while Applejack walked away. “Oh great! I’m bucking apples with a country dork!” I heard Snowcatcher say under her breath. THAT LITTLE WITCH!!! I was about to come out, but then Applejack came back. “Alirghty, you buck the left side, and I’ll buck the right. Remember, you have to make sure the apples fall into the bucket and when the bucket is full, put it into the cart. When your cart is full, let me know,” AJ explained, walking over to the right side of Sweet Apple Acres. Snowcatcher nodded her head as she went to the left. I followed behind her, still hidden. “This is sooo stupid,” I heard Snowcatcher complain. I rolled my eyes as I watched her. “I don’t feel like straining my legs, so I guess I’ll just use my magic!” She murmured as she pulled each apple off the apple trees with her magic. *Snowcatcher’s P.O.V.* I’m so lazy, and I didn’t care! Apple-bucking is dumb! I got all of the apples from the trees and dumped them all into the cart. Then, I dumped all of the buckets on top of them. I guess my work is done! Thus, I trotted over to Applejack. “I’m done, AJ!” I said. She looked up at me with a weird look on her face, “Already? Well, that was fast!” “Yeah, well, you know me,” I replied, “Now I have to go help Rainbow Dash, so please excuse me!” “Uhh, alright,” AJ said as I left. *Rarity’s P.O.V.* She didn’t even do her job right! How dare she do this to Applejack! I knew there was something fishy going on with her! I have to tell Applejack! I jumped out from behind the tree I was hiding behind and ran to go tell AJ. “Applejack, follow me!” I shouted when I reached her. “Rarity! What are you doing here?!” She gasped. “Just follow me!” I commanded, running to Snowcatcher’s cart. “Okay! I’m coming!” AJ shouted, following behind me. When we finally reached it, I pointed at it. “Look! Snowcatcher didn’t do the job right! She’s a lying, selfish, fake, hebetudinous pony!” I said, revealing the cart. “Heba-whadda? What are you talking about?” She asked. I quickly shook my head, “Never mind! Just look in the cart!” When she looked in the cart, she gasped! “Um, I’m sure she has a reason why,” AJ replied, in denial. “I don’t think so, AJ. I heard what she said,” I responded with a concerned look on my face. “Why were you following her, and what did she say?” She inquired. “I was on my way to your place, but then I saw her, so I started following her. Oh, and she was basically saying how apple-bucking was dumb, and she called you a country dork,” I explained. AJ’s face changed from confused to anger, “WHAT??!! Well, we have to tell the others!” I nodded, “I know, and I already told Fluttershy, but we still need a group meeting.” AJ nodded in agreement, “Let’s go!” I nodded my head once more as we took off to get the group together. > New Wings with New Suspicions! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Snowcatcher’s P.O.V. “Rainbow, I’m here!” I called out to her. She was flying above me, kicking clouds. “Hey Snowcatcher! You ready to help?” She asked, landing next to me, “Oh wait, you don’t have wings” “I will! I know this spell that can give me wings,” I replied. “Oh, Twilight knows that spell too!” She added, flying back into the sky. “Okay, you ready?” I asked, preparing myself. “Ready!” She responded, eager to watch. “Okay!” I replied as my horn started glowing. Suddenly, there was blue, sparkly mist surrounding me. My horn glowed brighter and brighter as I was lifted into the air. All of a sudden, I felt the mist wrap around me, squeezing me. I felt pressure on my back as I was floating down back onto the ground. When the mist was gone, and when my horn stopped glowing, there were these beautiful butterfly wings on my back! My wings were wavy and they were pink, dark pink, light blue, and purple! Rainbow Dash was in awe, “Wow! They’re beautiful!” I giggled, “Thank you! Now let’s get rid of those clouds, shall we?” Rainbow nodded her head as I took off into the sky. Out of everypony in the group, I actually liked Rainbow Dash! I mean, what isn’t there to like?! She’s fast, she’s can get rid of clouds quickly, which is why I’m wondering she needs my help for, and she’s 100% pure awesome! I didn’t have to pretend to be her friend! Anyways, Rainbow got rid of the clouds of the left side of the sky, and I got rid of the clouds on the right side of the sky. She was going pretty fast, which made me look like a slacker! I needed to pick up the pace! “Having fun?” I heard Rainbow ask me. I started to flap my wings faster as I kicked some more clouds, “Yeah, I sure am! How about you?!” “You know it!” She called out; zipping through five clouds as they disappeared, “Do you like flying?” I tried to do the same, but I failed! I only made three clouds disappear, “Uhh, yeah. I just gotta get the hang of it.” It felt like I was working my wings too hard, but I had to for Rainbow Dash! “Yeah, it’s really fun when you get the hang of it!” She called, flying super fast, making every cloud that was by her disappear! I wish I could do that! “Yeah!” I replied as I started flying fast like her. “Come on, come on!” I thought to myself, picking up speed. “Yes, I’m doing it!” I shouted, zooming through TEN clouds as they disappeared. Rainbow looked over at me and cheered me on! “WOOHOO!!! GO SNOWCATCHER!!!” She cheered. I grinned as I started to fly faster and faster. My wings started to burn, but I didn’t care; I wanted to impress Rainbow Dash! “Uhh, Snowcatcher, don’t you think you should slow down?” I heard her ask. “NO!!!” I shouted, going faster than her speed now! I started flying up to see if I could do a Sonic Rainboom like what she did. “Almost there!” I thought as it started forming. Next thing I knew, there was this cloudy stuff around me as I went faster, “Come on, come on!” All of a sudden, the cloudy stuff stopped! Why though? I looked at my back, and I noticed that my wings disappeared! What?! How could this be?! Was I going too fast?! Suddenly, I started falling out of the sky! Uh oh! I screamed at the top of my lungs as I fell faster and faster. Rainbow noticed me and started flying towards me! “HELP!!!” I yelled as I fell. Rainbow caught me on her back and started flying towards the ground. When we landed I jumped off her back, “Oh thank you, Dashie!” Rainbow was trying to catch her breath, “No problem! Anything for a friend!” We both smiled as I gave her a tight hug. “Uhh, Snow, you’re squeezing me a little bit too hard!” “Oops, sorry,” I said, letting her go so she could breath. Rainbow blushed, “Well, it looks like the clouds are gone! Good job on getting rid of them!” Then I blushed, “No problem!” “Should we head back?” She asked. I nodded. “I’m gonna go walking for a bit, but I’ll catch ya later, okay?” She asked, walking off. “Sure!” I responded as I teleported home. Rainbow Dash’s P.O.V. Maybe I’ll go visit Pinkie Pie! Yeah, that’s a good idea! As I trotted to her house, I saw Rarity with Applejack also going towards her house. I tried to call out to them, but they didn’t seem to hear me. Though, they had mad expressions on their faces. I wonder why. As we came closer to Pinkies house, they finally saw me! “Rainbow,” Applejack said with a concerned look on her face. “What’s wrong AJ?” I asked. “It’s Snowcatcher,” She replied, looking down. “What about her?” I asked, titling my head to the side. “Well,” She stared before the door opened. “Hello ponies!” Pinkie Pie greeted, wearing that happy face as always! “Pinkie, may we come in?” asked Rarity. Pinkie bounced up and down, “Of course you can!” We all stepped in to see that there were no costumers here. “Why are there no costumers?” I asked, raising an eyebrow. “Well, let’s just say that Snowcatcher helped me bake some muffins, and they were baked bads, and after that, everypony started leaving!” Pinkie explained, looking a bit upset, “I can’t believe she would trick me! I like tricks and pranks, but not if they’ll ruin Sugarcube Corner!” “Pinkie, I don’t think it was a prank or trick,” Rarity replied, with a sad look on her face. “Whadda mean, Rar?” Pinkie asked. “Well, I think she either did that on purpose or she just didn’t know how to bake,” Rarity explained as me and Pinkie’s mouth dropped. “W-WHAT?!” Pinkie exclaimed, “But she wouldn’t lie to me…would she?” She started to look hurt. Rarity touched her shoulder, “I’m sorry Pinkie, but I think she did.” Pinkie started tearing up, but then she got very angry! “WELL, WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!” She shouted, stomping her hoof on the floor. “That’s what we’re gonna do,” AJ replied. I shook my head, “Snowcatcher is sooo nice, though!” I didn’t believe any of this! “Rainbow, didn’t she visit you?” AJ asked, “Because when she visited me, she didn’t do her task right!” “I can’t believe this!” I shouted, turning away, “But when she helped me, nothing bad happened.” “Really?” I heard Rarity ask. “Well, she made this wings like what Twilight did for you, Rarity, and they disappeared because she was going too fast, but at least she did her task right!” I explained, turning back around. “She did?” Rarity asked, “Well, that’s strange...” “Yeah, well, we still have to tell the others!” AJ responded, “I swear that pony is very fishy, and we ARE gonna get to the bottom of this!” “Fine, I guess,” I replied, a little unsure. The others nodded. “So, where are we of to now?” “Fluttershy’s Cottage!” Rarity replied. I nodded as the four of us were on our way! > You Phony Pony! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *A Few Minutes Later* “Fluttershy, what’s going on in here?!” I shouted as we stepped into her cottage. Her animals were going crazy! “Snowcatcher fed the animals the wrong things!” Fluttershy shouting, trying to calm some raging raccoons, “Rarity, you were right about her!” “I told you all!” Rarity shouted. “Well, why are we just standing here?” AJ shouted, “Let’s help Fluttershy!” “Thank you!” Fluttershy replied, calming her birds. *30 Minutes Later* When the animals were all calmed, we fed them their right food. “Thank you all for helping me!” Fluttershy said, hugging all of us. “You’re welcome;” said Rarity, “Now, let’s go get Twilight!” “Twilight?” Fluttershy titled her head. “That’s right!” Pinkie replied, “We’ll all get together, so we can confront Snowcatcher!” “Oh okay,” replied Fluttershy, “Then, let’s go!” We all ran out the door to go to Twilight’s house. *A Few Minutes Later* “I’m starting to get convinced,” I confessed as we finally approached Twilight’s door. “Well, that’s good,” AJ replied, knocking on Twilight’s door. “Yes? Oh, hey guys!” Spike said, opening the door, “Come in.” As we walked in, I noticed Rarity and Spike glare at each other. “So, here’s Twilight?” I asked, breaking the awkward silence. “AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!” We all heard Twilight scream! We ran into the room with all those book shelves and saw that books were all over the floor. “Twilight what happened?” asked Fluttershy. “WHEREISITWHEREISITWHEREISITWHEREISITWHEREISIT!!!???” Twilight shouted, throwing books out of the shelves whenever she searched for whatever she was searching for. “Twilight, what’s wrong?” Rarity asked, “What are you missing?” “The Elements of Harmony book!” Twilight shouted. We all gasped! “I bet Snowcatcher did this, right?” I asked. “Well, she did help me organize my books, so I guess so,” Twilight replied, “but why would she-“ “FOUND IT!!!” Pinkie said, pointing to the garbage can. “Why…” Twilight asked quietly, “Why would she do this?!” “She’s using us, I’m telling you guys!” Rarity shouted. “Snowcatcher, no, no, she wouldn’t!” Spike argued. “Spike, she’s using all of us, why don’t you believe me?!” Rarity yelled, going closer to Spike. “Because she’s too nice unlike you! You didn’t even set your work aside and have some fun with us at the party!” Spike yelled back. Rarity’s P.O.V. Tears crept into my eyes, “WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! I DIDN’T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO!!!” Spike’s mouth dropped, “W-what?! Snowcatcher told us that…” He traveled off in thought. “Oh no…Rarity…I’m so sorry…” “It’s okay Sp-“ I started to say before Spike ran up and hugged me. Tears were rolling down his face, “NO, IT’S NOT OKAY! I’VE ACTED SO CRUEL TO YOU! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!” I hugged him back, and then I lifted his face and wiped away his tears, “Shh, I do forgive you, Spikey Wikey!” I leaned down and kissed him. I heard “Aww’s” and I heard Rainbow gag. It lasted for about five seconds and then I pulled back. “That’s why we need to stop her!” I added. He nodded. “Here Rarity,” Twilight said, putting on my Element necklace. “Why are we wearing these?” I asked. “Just in case if she’s not really a pony or something, you know,” Twilight replied, giving everypony’s else their necklaces. “Well that makes sense!” Pinkie chirped. I face hoofed. “Well, come on everypony!” Twilight said, “Let’s go find Snowcatcher!” “YEAH!!!” We all shouted as we dashed out the door to find Snowcatcher. > The Mysterious Mare > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Okay everypony, listen up!” Twilight instructed, “We’re going to split up into two’s!” “But, what about Spike?” Pinkie asked, pointing at Spike. “Okay then, two’s and one group will have three,” Twilight replied, huffing, “Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash will team up and search Cloudsdale.” “Got it!” Rainbow replied, saluting. “O-okay,” Fluttershy replied nervously, sweating. Typical Fluttershy… “Pinkie Pie and Applejack will team up and search Sugarcube Corner, Sweet Apple Acres, and the center of Ponyville,” Twilight added. “Okie Dokey Loki!” Pinkie chirped, bouncing up and down. “Alrighty Twilight!” Applejack responded with a determined look. “Finally, Rarity, Spike, and I will search around my house and around Rarity’s house,” Twilight finished. “Okay Twilight,” I nodded. “Sure Twi!” Spike agreed. “Good! Now is everypony ready?” Twilight asked. “READY!!!” We all shouted. “THEN LET’S GO GET THAT SKUNKBAG!!!” Twilight exclaimed. Thus, we all went to go search our areas that we were told to search. *During the Search* AJ’s P.O.V. “Oh horse feathers! I don’t see her anywhere!” I shouted, searching all around Sweet Apple Acres, “Pinkie?! Pinkie where are you?!” Pinkie came hopping out, “I was searching Sugarcube Corner, but no Snowcatcher.” She hung her head down. “I didn’t find her either,” I replied, “Let’s go search the center of the town!” Pinkie nodded as she hopped to the center of Ponyville with me running behind her. When we finally reached it, we started searching everywhere! I mean EVERYWHERE!!! We searched in the nearby stores, restaurants, and Pinkie even searched in the fountain! Where could this pony be?! “Snowcatcher!!! You in there?!” Pinkie asked, her head searching around in the fountain. I face hoofed, “Pinkie, if she was in the fountain, we would of saw her! She’s not a fish or a bit, you know?!” Suddenly, her head popped back up, “Oh…well, we didn’t find her…” She had a sad puppy-dog face. “I know, but don’t be sad,” I comforted, “Maybe the others will find her!” All of a sudden, her expression changed! “Okay!” She beamed. *Meanwhile with Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash* Fluttershy’s P.O.V. “Snowcatcher!” I called out, looking through her window of her house, “Oh, she’s not in there…” “She’s n-not in the,” Rainbow said, out of breath, “in the Weather Factory or the Rainbow Factory…” (No, no, not the Creepypasta! This is supposed to be a happy story!) “Well, she might be over there!” I pointed towards the place where they make snowflakes. Rainbow nodded and dashed inside the Snowflake Factory. I followed behind, not as fast as Rainbow, though. “Snowcatcher are you here?!” Rainbow called out, “UGH!!! Nothing!” Everypony looked at her with a confused look on their face. She did a sheepish laugh and blushed as she shook her head. They all shrugged and went back to work. “Well, hopefully the others found her, so let’s get back to Ponyville,” I suggested. She nodded. Then, we both flew back to Ponyville. *Meanwhile with Twilight, Rarity, and Spike* Twilight’s P.O.V. “Snowcatcher! Snowcatcher are you here?” I called out, searching around the small area by my house. There was only Lyra and Bon Bon sitting on a beach nearby. I sighed, “Spike, where could she be?!” He shrugged, but then pointed at Rarity, “Maybe Rarity found her! Did ya Rar?” She shook her head, panting, “Sh-she was-wasn’t th-there…” “Need some water?” I asked. She quickly nodded as we stepped inside my house. Rarity laid down on the couch with Spike next to her as I hurried into the kitchen. I grabbed a cup with my magic and put some ice cubes into it, and then I poured water into the cup. I quickly ran back into my living room and gave Rarity the glass of water. She grabbed it with her magic and sat up. “Thanks Twi,” She said, gulping it down, “Phew! Now I’m better!” I giggled as I grabbed the glass with my magic once again and I put it into the sink. Then I sat down next to Rarity and Spike, “Well, let’s go find the others to see if they found Snowcatcher.” She nodded, “Okay! Let’s go into the center of town.” I nodded as we ran outside. Rarity’s P.O.V. “PINKIE, APPLEJACK! OVER HERE!” I called out as me, Twilight, and Spike entered into the center of town. They turned around. “Hey y’all!” Applejack replied, grinning. “Did you guys find her?!” Pinkie quickly asked while she and AJ were running up to us. I shook my head, “And I’m guessing either did you two…” They also shook their heads. “Aww!” Spike sadly said. “Maybe Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash found her!” Twilight reassured. Our faces lit up a bit, but then they changed into hope as we all saw Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash flying above us! “DASHIE AND SHY!!!” Pinkie called out, “DOWN HERE!!!” They looked down with sad expressions on their faces. Oh no! “Hey guys!” Rainbow said a little nervously, landing next to us. “Did you guys find her?” Fluttershy asked, also landing next to us. Our expressions changed back to sadness. “No, and I’m guessing you guys also didn’t find her,” I replied. They sadly shook their heads. “Well, there’s one place we didn’t check!” Twilight said as we all looked up. “What?!” Pinkie asked; hope flowing back into her body. “The Everfree Forest!” Twilight exclaimed. We all gasped! ???’s P.O.V. “Look closer into the water!” I demanded “Umm, I don’t want to!” She replied, scared. I slapped her across her face. “DO IT!!!” I shouted “Okay, okay!” She said as she did what I said. “Now repeat these words,” I commanded, “Wghser Tresher, Wiki wiki, buyglt into thfer Kiki kiki!” “Wghser Tresher, Wiki wiki, buyglt into thfer Kiki kiki!” She repeated. “Now keep repeating those words,” I replied. She kept repeating them as her pupils started swirling around. Yes, it was working! She was getting hypnotized! She’s under my command, so she can do what I say! It was for the plan to take over Equestria! Now I just needed the Mane Six to fall under the spell just like she did! “Good Snowcatcher!” I responded, when she was fully under my control, “Now I need you for my plan!” She blankly nodded her head. *Meanwhile with the Others* Rarity’s P.O.V. “What’s that?!” Pinkie pointed as we all looked at what she was pointing at. It was this house that looked similar to Zecora’s, but it was darker. “Umm, let’s just leave!” Fluttershy said, shaking. “No Fluttershy,” Twilight replied, “We have to check!” She wept as we all stepped closer to it. “Look everypony!” Twilight gasped as we looked into the window. It was Snowcatcher looking into this pot that was filled with this sparkling water. There was another pony with her, but I didn’t recognize her. “Who is that mare behind her?” I asked, narrowing my eyes. “I don’t know, but whoever she is, she doesn’t look too friendly,” Twilight responded. “We have to find a way in there!” Rainbow whispered shouted. “Wait, what is she doing to Snowcatcher?!” Twilight asked. I studied them closer, “OH MY CELESTIA!!! SHE’S HYPNOTIZING HER!!!” Everypony shushed me. “Sorry…” “Well, let’s burst in there!!!” Rainbow commanded. “Rainbow, no!” Twilight shouted, but it was too late. Rainbow bucked the window as the glass broke. Thus, she flew into the weird house! “My, my,” The mare said, “who do we have here?” She smirked as we all jumped through her window. “Oh my! The Mane Six is here with a little dragon, I see,” She added. “That’s right!” Rainbow shouted with anger rushing through her body, “GET AWAY FROM SNOWCATCHER!!!” “She’s my puppet!” She replied. “Puppet?!” I asked. “That’s right!” She replied, “I’m using her to take over Equestria! Everything she said, thought, and did was all because of me! She was a sweet, naïve pony, so she was easy to control!” “Not if we stop you!” Twilight shouted. “Oh yeah?!” She smirked. “Everypony ready?” Twilight asked. “READY!!!” We all responded. Spike stood behind us as our elements started glowing. We rose into the air as a rainbow formed around us. Our eyes turned white as the rainbow shot at the strange mare! Her mouth dropped as the rainbow wrapped around her. She cried for help as the rainbow fully wrapped around her. Then, the rainbow started to wrap around Snowcatcher as she always went into the air. When the rainbow released Snowcatcher, she floated back on the ground as did we. “I’ll be back!” Was the last thing the mare said before she disappeared. We all cheered but then we remembered Snowcatcher! “Snowcatcher, you okay?!” I shouted, running over to her. “Huh? I’m me again?” She asked, trying to stand up. She almost fell back down, but I helped her up. “Yes, yes you are,” I replied, smiling, “Are you okay? Do you remember us?” She smiled as tears started coming down her face, “I’m so sorry!” I hugged her, “Shh, it’s okay. You’re back to normal, that’s all that matters!” “No, I was horrible to all of you! I’m so sorry! I didn’t want to do all those terrible things or say those terrible things or think those terrible things about you all! I actually liked you guys! I wanted to be your friend, but no! That Mare Witch had to take control of my mind! I’m very sorry! Please forgive me!” She sobbed, hugging me back. Spike and the group gathered around us and we all started hugging. “It’s okay,” I said, tears started to come down my face as well, “We all forgive you…” “YAY!!!” Pinkie exclaimed, “A NEW BUDDY!!!” We all laughed, and then Snowcatcher started to feel better. > Bonus Chapter > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ever since then, Snowcatcher’s been very nice to us! She hangs out with us, helps us, and she evens gives us presents even if it wasn’t our birthdays or anything! She still feels bad about what happened, so that’s why she’s trying to make up for it. I keep tell her it’s okay, but she still wants to do those things, so I just let her! We haven’t seen that weird mare, but I’m still worried about her! She said she’ll be back, but I’m not sure when. I guess it doesn’t matter since everything’s fine…for now anyway. “Rarity, it’s your turn!” Pinkie shouted as she handed me a microphone. I grabbed it with my magic. Oh, and one more thing, we’re at a party! Pinkie wouldn’t be Pinkie if she didn’t have a party for her new friend! What’s a better way to welcome Snowcatcher into our group than a party?! Yes, it’s a singing party! It’s still an awesome party, though! Well, it looks like it’s my turn to sing, so…here I go! “This one is called Dangerously In Love,” I said into the mic, “This is for you, Spikey Wikey!” I blew him a kiss and he winked. Then, the music started playing. “I love you... I love you... I love you Spikey I love you You are my life My happiest moments weren't complete If you weren't by my side You're my relation In connection to the sun With you next to me There's no darkness I can't overcome You are my raindrop I am the seed With you and Celestia, who's my sunlight I bloom and grow so beautifully Spikey, I'm so proud So proud to be your mare You make the confusion Go all away From this cold and mixed up world I am in love with you You set me free I can't do this thing Called life without you here with me Cause I'm Dangerously In Love with you I'll never leave Just keep lovin' me The way I love you loving me And I know you love me Love me for who I am Cause years before I became who I am Spikey you were my dragon I know it ain't easy Easy loving me I appreciate the love and dedication From you to me Later on in my destiny I see myself walking down the aisle I see myself being your wife And I see my whole future in your eyes Thought of all my love for you sometimes make me wanna cry Realize all my blessings I'm grateful To have you by my side Every time I see your face My heart smiles Every time it feels so good It hurts sometimes Created in this world To love and to hold To feel To breathe To love you Dangerously in love~ Can't do this thing I love you , I love you, I love you I'll never leave Just keep on loving me I'm in love with you I cannot do it I cannot do anything without you in my life Holding me, kissing me, loving me Dangerously I love you Dangerously in love,” I sang. When the music finished, everypony cheered. “Awesome job as always, Rarity!” Pinkie said. “Yeah, great job!” Rainbow agreed. “Your voice is sooo good!” Twilight added. “Rarity, you’re a great singer!” AJ added. “Wow, Rarity, just wow!” Fluttershy gasped. “I wish I had your voice!” Snowcatcher replied. I thanked them all as Spike ran up to me. “Rarity, you are the best mare ever!” He said, “I love you too!” “Thanks Spikey Wikey,” I responded as I leaned down and kissed him. Once again, I heard “Aww’s” and Rainbow gagging. When we pulled away, I giggled. “Let’s continue to get our groove on!” I shouted. Everypony cheered as Pinkie gave the mic to Twilight. When everypony got done singing, we continued with the party. We ate, we played games, and we danced! It was the best party ever! Snowcatcher thanked us all for forgiving her and for inviting her to the party. Of course we would; she’s apart of us now! When the party ended, we thanked Pinkie for an awesome party, and then we all went home. This was the best day ever! The End…or is it?! *All you can hear is the evil laughter of the mare from the Everfree Forest…*
