> Rarity Goes Hunting > by SoLameAndPowerful > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > So Many Dresses > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rarity was just about to take a short nap. It would have been a perfect nap. The birds were chirping lightly, the summer wind whistling, and there wasn't a sound from any pony on that afternoon. But alas, Rarity wouldn't be taking a nap. Rarity was lying in bed as she heard her doorbell ring. "Ugh...who in the hell is that?" Rarity sighed. She slowly got out of bed and stumbled to the door. When she opened it, she saw something that made her eyes widen. There was a line of stallions and mares at her door. Blue manes, red manes, green manes, it was like a rainbow in front of her house.The crowd started chanting. "DRESSES, DRESSES, DRESSES, DRESSES!". Rarity couldn't take it anymore. She ran down the line, moving on the right. As she ran down the line, she got the clothing request from each stallion and mare. "Thirty requests..." Rarity whispered aloud, as she ran back into her house. "Ugh....oh well. At least Sweetie Belle isn't here to mess up anything. "Listen every pony. Go home. Come back tomorrow. I should have all of your clothing ready by then. The rainbow line began to break, as the stallions and mares went home. Rarity walked into the room where all of here materials were. The once idle room was now lit with a sparkling blue. Stitches and manikin ponies flew through the air, with a blue glow around them. After Rarity would finish one dress or tuxedo, she would place it on a pony manikin. This process went on for hours. Dress after dress, tuxedo after tuxedo. It was dreadful. There were marks from the sewing machines( she keeps extras in case something like this occurs) all around her hooves, but Rarity couldn't stop. She couldn't even take a break. Saying that there was much work to be done would be and understatement. Every few minutes, Rarity would mumble in pain from the sewing machine piercing and poking her skin. After a few hours of this, there was a knock on the door. Rarity stumbled to the door, cringing from the pain in her front hooves. She opened the door and was greeted by Pinkie Pie. " Hey Rarity! I hope you aren't busy! Are you busy? I'm not busy! You know what i do when I'm not not busy? PARTIES!!!.... " Rarity groaned. "PINKIE!" Pinkie Pie started to whine at Rarity. Rarity realized why, so she cleared her throat. "Pinkie, i don't have time right now." Before Pinkie had a chance to irritate Rarity with her rambling, Rarity shut the door. "Sometimes I wonder about that pony..." Rarity went back into her supplies room. She continued the dress and tuxedo making process, still poking and and piercing her hooves occasionally. She worked and worked for hours. Stitch by stitch, dress by dress, tuxedo by tuxedo. After even more hours of making clothes, she finally finished. "Finally......done..." Rarity looked at the clock. It was 6:00 A.M. Rarity collapsed from exhaustion, and slept in her work room. *ring ring ring!* Rarity's eyes popped open, startled by the ringing. She calmed down once she realized it was her phone, and stood up. As she walked to the phone, she tripped over a sewing machine. "FUCK!" Rarity yelled. She picked her self up, and proceeded to go to the phone. Once she got to the phone, she obviously tried to pick it up with her hooves. Rarity forgot that she had poked her hooves multiple times, and dropped the phone as she cringed from the pain in her hooves. "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF...!" Rarity took a deep breath, and levitated the phone towards her. When she answered the phone, she heard a familiar voice. It was Applejack. "Hey there Rarity! I was wonderin' if ya'll could come to my barn for somethin". "For what Applejack?". "It's a surprise!" Applejack replied. "Ugh...fine. But you'll have to wait a few minutes. Some ponies are suppose to come and get their clothes." Applejack agreed, said goodbye, and hung up. Rarity felt that this was her chance to go and make sure she looks presentable. She walked to the mirror in her bathroom, and gasped at what she saw. She was a mess. Her usually purple shiny mane was drooping a little, and had random messy curls in it. The shine in her hair was also gone. But that wasn't all. Rarity sniffed her self, and was shocked. She smelled horrible. Rarity couldn't stand to look like this. She turned on the shower, an made sure that the temperature was exactly to her liking. Rarity closed her eyes as the warm water streamed all over her body. Rarity levitated her squirt soap and her loofah, and began to clean her tiny cuts. "It stings....but i can't have it getting infected". After Rarity thoroughly cleaned her hooves, she began to scrub the rest of her body. She then shampooed her mane. After she scrubbed her back, back legs, back hooves, etc., she let her thoughts wonder. She thought and thought as to why her friend Applejack wanted her to come to her barn. Her thinking was interrupted, however, by the ringing doorbell. Rarity turned the shower off, and hopped out of the tub. She levitated a towel and dried herself off. The doorbell kept ringing. Rarity was irritated, and ignored the doorbell. She took her time to dry her mane and body. and to put on her signature blue eye liner. When she felt presentable enough, she walked to the work room and lined the dresses and tuxes on her back. As she went out the door, she was made sure that she didn't trip over the hanging parts of the tuxedos and dresses. She opened the door, and once again, saw the rainbow line. Like before, she ran down the line on the right side. As she ran, she received gave the stallion/mare their dress/tuxedo, and received 20 bits each. When she was finished, the ponies walked home, each waving and smiling at Rarity. Rarity went to put away her bits. Rarity remembered that Applejack wanted Rarity to be at her barn soon, and she walked outside. She closed the door behind her. "Alright....." Rarity paused. "Time to go to Applejack's". > Hit em' right between the eyes! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "AppleJack! I'm here!" Rarity shouted. "Oh hey Rarity!' Applejack replied. "I was thinking that you wouldn't show!" "Well, I'm here. What was it that you wanted?" Applejack went back into the barn. When she came out, she had two sniper rifles on her back. One for her, and one for Rarity. Well, you looked like you could use a break from all the dresses. Sooo.." Applejack paused. "We're goin' huntin!" Applejack threw the sniper to Rarity, and Rarity clumsily caught it. Rarity was going to protest, but then she realized. She was working awfully hard lately. And she could use the break. "What could go wrong?" Rarity walked along with Applebloom, Applejack, and BigMac. "Wait.... you're bringing Applebloom!? AJ, what the buck is wrong with you!?' "Aw quit your whinin' sugar cube. It's an apple family tradition!" Rarity just sighed, and followed Applejack. As they were on there way to the woods it was silent. Well, that is until Applebloom started humming. Rarity was very easily annoyed by humming, but just ignored it. Just as she was about to say something, they were there. "YAY! Applejack, Applejack! Let me shoot!" Applebloom was over flowing with excitement. Before Applejack could respond, Apple bloom snatched the sniper from AJ. She then scanned the woods for rabbits. "AH!" Applebloom spotted a snow white rabbit. Applejack just stared at her sister, knowing what would happen. "Uh...how did that song go again? Hmmmm.... oh yeah!" Applebloom positioned herself on the ground,and lined up the scope with the rabbit's head. "A loaded gun complex...." Applebloom reached for the bullets. She struggled, but eventually, she loaded it. "Cock it...." She did exactly what the song said. "And pull it!" Applebloom pulled the trigger, and killed the rabbit. But, something wasn't right. Applebloom shrieked "Ow!" When Rarity turned to look at her, she was shocked. "Appljack! Applebloom is bleeding from her nose!" Applejack just strugged. "Ah' well. Ah' new this would happen. That was er' first time usin' ah' sniper rifle. She wasn't holdin' it tight enough, so the force from the shot came back on er" Rarity was shocked with silence. "Big bro, can ya' take her back to the barn and fix er' up?" "Eeyup." > Fluttershy!? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "This is a disaster" Rarity thought. Applebloom probably broke her nose. Rarity let out a deep sigh, and readied her sniper. "Alright AJ. Let's get this over with." Applejack rolled, her eyes, and turned to her sniper. Rarity made sure to make some distance between her eye and the scope. She gripped the loaded sniper, preparing herself for impact. Rarity's eyes searched the woods for little woodland creatures. Just as Rarity was about to give up, she spotted one. It was pink and yellow. That's about all she could see, since she was too far away to examine the details. Sweat ran down Rarity's brow. She positioned the scope on the creature, and fired. Following the sound of the shot, there was a shrieked. However, this shriek sounded familiar. She didn't know why though, until the creature called for help. "Oh fuck" Rarity thought. She just shot Fluttershy. Rarity and Applejack both looked at each other. They were in pure shock, and the two ran to FS. They were both greeted by Fluttershy's face, which was covered in tears. Flutteshy screamed louder and louder. "It's okay Fluttershy, just-" Rarity was cut off. "Buck it" said Applejack. Applejack hit Fluttershy in the head with the back of the sniper. "Ya little shit." "AAGH!" Rarity shrieked Applejack shot Rarity in the marsh mellows. THE END
