> Legally Purple > by Pegasister107 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Oh My God You............................Oh > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was an estatic and quite eventful night in the Delta Nu sorority.Even if their beloved president, Rarity Belle was out, well, that was actually the reason why they were so estatic. Rainbow and Rare on a date was nothing new, they´ve been dating for Celestia knows how long.But, this time, everypony knew it was going to be different. They were mares, it was natural, they just felt it Rainbow was TOTALLY going to propose!! They couldn´t wait to see Rarity again!! A pink pegasus by the name Cadance flew around, her smile beaming as she sang: "Dear Rare, you´re so lucky both.I´m really going to cry.I just feel great" Following right behind her were two mares.One of them was and earth pony whose mane sprung several tones of pink, her name was Cheerilee.The other was a blue unicorn, her amber eyes with obviously fake eyelashes shone with joy, her name was Sassy Saddles "Goodness knows well that you're a perfect match.Nothing can defeat this love" Sassy sang. "Of course, he will propose!!"All three of them sang, giggling like little school fillies. "Dear Rare, honey, mazel tov.I will love to see that ring!" Cheerilee sang. "If we were to see a perfect couple this one qualifies, omigod, you guys" Now the three of them again.The Glee they were feeling quite obvious. "Okay everybody signed, good." Cheerilee checked the vibrant pink paper in her whooves "Now, fall in line and we'll start the engagement parade" They called up the rest of the sorority, ran up to Rarity´s bedroom door.They weren´t exactly a crowd but there were plenty of them as the unicorns lighted up their horns and earth ponies and pegasi held a candle in their right front hoof. "Okay, okay.One, two, three, four" Cheerilee counted, before opening the door to their friend´s room and they all started singing again, eyes closed. "Daughter of Delta Nu Now that you are engaged, things got exiting now. Your life begins today. Know that in you hour of need we will be there for you it won´t be superseeded Our sacred bond of sisterhood" They opened their eyes to find... "She´s not here" Sweetie Belle said, clearly confused. The others started to react as well, confused, alarmed, even down right worried.Celestia knows what they would´ve done if Sweetie Belle didn´t found the white overweighted cat "Opal! Where is Rarity?" The cat rolled her eyes and climbed up the window and pointed with one of her claws towards........ "The Old Valley Mall?! That can only mean....." She turned towards the others "FASHION EMERGENCY!" They all rushed towards the mall while the cat just groaned and hissed at them. The Old Valley Mall had a lot of places to buy clothes on but they knew only one that caught Rarity´s attention.As they entered The Carrousell, they saw her come out of the changing room and they knew it was her. Eyes that shone like saphires, lavender hair and a gente curve that had a little too many stallions looking at her.She´d just finished putting on a short white dress and was looking at herself in a mirror with a critical look.She was unforgettable and distinct. "RARITY!" "Oh, hello there, darlings, Mind helping me for my big night??" "Of course!" She looked back at the mirror as she was surprised from the back by the owner of the boutique Suri Polomare, she was holding in her hoof a different dress.She flypped her brunette mane and showed it to the unicorn "Oh, honey, you simply must wear this one. It just came in, it´s perfect for a purple maned" The unicorn´s preciou eyes seemed to scan the dress inmediately and she smirked "It does go well with purple" "Yes, that´ll be 50 bi......" "BUT" "But?" "Is that a half-loop stitch on Fillyna Silk?" "Um, maybe" She laughed, cautiously "Well the thing is, darling, you can't use a half-loop stitch on Fillyna Silk,It'll pucker. And you didn't just get this in because I saw it last Winter Wrap Up´s vogue. I'm not about to buy last year's dress at this year's price, I may be in love, but I'm not stupid. Suri, I´ve got eyes.And just because I´m loaded doesn´t mean I´m willing to spend so many bits like that" As Rarity´s friends shouted Uuuh BUSTED! Suri was stunned. "But............" Before she could make more of a ridiculous, however, employee of the month, Coco Pommel came in, with a long light pink dress, little pink flowers all over the skirt. "Oh my gosh! RARITY? Sorry, for that.Dear Suri here is sick so......." "My condelences.And may she feel better next time I´m here.Oh What´s that, darling?" She pointed to the dress in her hoof "Oh This? Something that really DID just came in.I DO care for my clientel.So here, only 30 bits" Rarity took the dress and changed it for the money "Pleasure making bussiness with you, Coco, Sweetie.Now, if you excuse me, it´s getting late!" As she rushed in to the changing room she couldn´t help but see in Suri´s eyes that she was going to have a word with her worker. Soon, they all met with the attention-graving pegasus stallion and, as he and Rarity kissed, a great AW was heard. "Hello there, Blitzy" "Hi" "Ready for tonight?" "............Yeah" They aproached the restaurant and sat down the table.It was a beautiful night, barely anyone there but the two of them.Rainbow Blitz looked in the corner of his eye to his girlfriend and took a long, deep breath.It was it. "Look, Rarity, we need to talk" "Sure, dear, What about?" "Life is not a game anymore....................Not for me, at least.Clases in Canterlot Law are starting soon.My future is ahead, my dreams are ahead.And I need you to listen to me on this one, Rare" "I´m listening" "We have chances right staring at us.I need to focus, you.....................Need to think.We both need this.I was thinking maybe you and I....." YES! Something inside the young mare screamed and beamed with joy THIS WAS IT! She took his hoof and caressed it, not knowing that had alarmed him greatly.What she said later didn´t actually help "You and I?" Another deep breath and he closed his eyes "Should break up" "YES!!!!" The unicorn jumped from her seat, smiling like a mad mare, her mind not yet procesing what he just had said "Glad you agree" He smiled, relieaved "Wait What?" "Huh?" "Did you just said break up?" The pieces fell into place and her heart down.Crying, no, sobing.Rarity was a sea of tears and ruined eye liner "I think it´s the best we can do.I need someone serious who can keep up with me." "BUT I THOUGHT YOU WERE PROPOSING!" She admited, not caring about how ridiculous she sounded while doing so.Nothing matered anymore. "Really? Well, I´m sorry.Not that you´re not awesome, you are but not enough to drag you along with me.You´re not serious" "Not serious? But I am seriously in love with you" "Hey, let´s both be strong.We knew this wasn´t going to last" "NO! YOU KNEW!" She jercked off, runing away.She didn´t care in which direction as long as it was away from him. Rainbow Blitz sighed As she returned to her sorority, she found all the members waiting for her with a baner that read: CONGRATULATIONS BLITZ AND RARITY! Sweetie Belle hugged her "So?How did it go?Where´s Blitz?" "I don´t know." She wiped away her tears with her hoof "I DON´T CARE!" "What?! Why?" "He didn´t propose." "Oh Is that it? RELAX! He´ll do it some other da.....!" "HE BROKE UP WITH ME!" As Rarity colapsed in one of the many, many couches the room filled with a surprised and yet understanding Oh > Plan Into Motion Step 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twelve days.Twelve days of vanilla ice cream and uncontroled sobing in the Delta Nu sorority and it all came from the head, the president, the recently-single Rarity Belle.Sometime on the afternoon she was aproached by her sister, levitating a few magazines in the side.She knocked the door and sang: "Dauther of Delta Nu.........." "GO AWAY!" Sigh "Sweetheart, it´s been a few days....." "I DON´T CARE!" "At least come out to talk" "Fine" She came out.Normally, she´d be using one of her best pink outfits but Sweetie was surprised to find her in a simple dirty robe, her sister´s simple jeans and green shirt was a Four Style Fashions compared to her.The young mare noticed her older sister was levitating with her a can of.............. "IS THAT MILKY WAY?!" "What?! I´M SAD OKAY?!" "SAD?! Honey, you´re destroyed." She showed her one of the magazines "Here, maybe they have good news" "Doubt it" As she went through the pages nothing really raised her attention, sure they were full of interesting ones but when your self was all broken it really didn´t................Wait "Is that His brother?" As a popular, wealthy family they had their fair share of ponies wanting to know what was going on with them. "I think so.Look, this article´s about his wedding.That mare´s is really pretty" "That should´ve been Blitzy and me..............Wait a sec" She read the article outloud as she realised something "This is the kind of girl Rainbow wants........Someone serious...............Someone lawyerly..." "I don´t think that´s a real word" "Someone who wears black when nopony is dead!!! I THINK I KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW!" "Huh?" Rarity slamed the door and, less than a minute later she was wearing pink from head to hoof and levitating a checklist and a pencil.She showed it to Sweetie Belle "Perfect Win-Back Plan?" "Yup! Step one: Get into Canterlot Law.Same class with my babu" She clapped "Step two: Make him change his mind,get better grades than all the school" She jumped "Step three: Our wedding will be the greatest EVER SEEN BY DELTA NU!!" "That´s a great plan!" "Yeah, sure" Someone said in a very sarcastic tone.They both turned around to see their friend Cheerilee right there standing behind them "Look, Rarity, you´re amazing but you´re not Canterlot material!" "I have a 4.0 average" "IN FASHION MERCHANDISING!" "Oh, come on, Lee, you act like you don´t believe in love! Love is the one thing that keeps everyone going! Love is always right!" "Can love get a plus one seventy-four LSADDLE score?" "If that´s what I have to do to get in!" "Okay then, I´ll help you out" "THAT´S THE SPIRIT!" "Now we´ll have to get some law books to study" "Huh?" "Studying.GO!" "Law school?"Hondo Flanks raised an eyebrow at his daughter "Yes,daddy, law school" "Oh, sweetheart Why? Law school is for boring, ugly, smart, serious ponies and you, honey aren´t..........." "BUT I HAVE TO BE!!! FOR BLITZY!!!" "Rainbow Blitz? What does your ex have to do with..........? OH!" She nodded, her eyes full with determination "Fine, okay, I will pay, you just get in" "I will!" "Rarity!" Cheerilee called out at her friend "You got one thirty-four, not good enough" "B-but.........." "Don´t worry, you still have a chance" She handed her the book "GO!" "One fifty-one Sorry." The earth pony informed her friend "Once again GO!" "Love.I´m doing this for love.Willing to sacrifice.His love, it is why I survive.Here, right here gonna stay, I´m going to pass this test" "ONE SEVENTY-SIX!" Cheerilee explained, never more proud "ONE SEVENTY-SIX!!!" "Canterlot Law grants admission to Jet Set and......Upper Crust" The head professor, a blonde unicorn stallion decided a he passed throught the admission letters "Now miss Rarity Belle" He opened the envelope to find a huge picture of the beautiful mare, many of ponies in the room were stallions and they all turned their heads "Who was kind enough to send in a head shot" "We should admit her for reasons of...........................Multi-culturism" "GENTLECOLTS GET AHOLD OF YOURSELVES!.............Granted" "Howdy, I´m Applejack Apple Smith.Welcome to the hallowed halls of Canterlot Law.Let´s go around and share a bit about ourselves" The dreaded first day.Rarity looked everywhere but she couldn´t find Rainbow.Sure, she was having fun with the other students but an objetive was still an objetive.So she walked up to that nice orange stallion..........Apple something whatever it didn´t matter the only thing that mattered for her was "Excuse me Anyone know where I can find Criminal Law 101 with profesor Blueblood and Rainbow Danger Blitz The Third?" "It's in Houser over there, second building on the left" He pointed " Thanks" The place seemed pretty filled, even to a mare that was used to crowds "If I could just..........." But then she saw "BLITZY!!" Right there talking with some unicorn girl "Excuse me, pardon me, COMING THROUGH!" Right then and there she trippe and fell, everypony turning her head to her, the pegasus stallion specially shocked "Rare? I-Is that you? " He helped her up and she couldn´t help but smile like an idiot "OH MY GOSH RAINBOW?! I totally forgot you were going here" "You two know each other?" The unicorn beside him asked, Rarity only know getting a better look at her.She was taller than the average mare, her coat was lavender, her eyes a dissaproving dark purple and her mane was dark blue with a streak of pink.Something about her just seemed.........Off For all answer, the pegasus just facehoofed himself and said "TOTALLY" > Not A Shark > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Good morning and welcome to Canterlot, my little sharks" Professor Blueblood smiled at his students. "Morning, professor" They all answered "Now, most of you are wasting time here.Others will get their fair share of blood eventually, I assure you" "Huh?" "You´ll see. Mr. Set hypothetical question, Would you be willing to defend the following banker accused of fraud?" He cleared his throat "A kind old grandma had her life-long money savings, sent to her child, your client, obviously.And he kindly and wisely spent it on prostitutes and porn " The gray unicorn stallion was tacken back by this question "No, I wouldn´t want to take that case" "Wrong, child!! This one is a win! Now, don´t be lazy.Dear granny here is suppoussed to be senile Right? Well you shall use that to your benefit.Your colt goes free and you both can get laid" Some claping was heard but none of them were mares "Now let this be a lesson, kids, scruples are flaws.Miss Lullamoon" A blue unicorn with a white mane got up from her seat "Yes, professor?" "Hypothetical question.Say, they ask you defend a famous hit stallion from the mafia elite.Sadly, he missed his prey, so he ended up killing a nun and driving away,running over three cute puppies in the street...." "What, You think I wouldn't defend him just because he's a typical stallion?" The mare interrupted and chuckled a little for emphasis "Oh, you lesbians think you're so up top" "WHAT?! But.............I.............." "Oh,sorry, my dear, Did I offend you? Well, such a shame you´re now too upset to reply.Now listen to me, miss Lullamoon, the mayority of emotions are weaknesses, in the lawyer bussiness, that is" More clapping.Blueblood was caught off guard when he noticed someone rising their white hoof, first in all morning "Yes? Miss........?" "Belle, Rarity Belle" "Somepony´s in a good mood Would you summarize the case of State of Mareiana v Hoofn in your reading, please?" Is was clear by the mare´s face that she didn´t understand a word of what he was saying so she simply looked down and admitted "I wanted to answer the puppy question?" "But I'm asking you about the assigned reading" "Who assigns reading for the first day of class?" She chuckled. All of the class staring at her in disbelief, well, not ALL of them, Rainbow Blitz face-hoofed himself. "I see you have guts, miss Belle, and a fitting name" "Thank you" "BUT" "But?" "Miss Sparkle?" The unicorn who was talking to Rainbow earlier got up "Yes, profesor?" "Again, hypotecnical question.Let´s say you teach a class at Canterlot Law School, a possition you should be proud of." The lavender unicorn nodded "But some girl in that class hasn´t read the case at all Is that ok with you?" "No, I´d throw her out" "HEY!" Rarity scolwed, completely out of ideas. "Sorry, miss Belle, you´ve heard your classmate.You need more than guts.Exit´s over there and if you come back, make sure you know what you´re getting into.You´re here to slowly become a shark and, if that´s not your thing, then maybe you should start modeling, you seem perfect for that" "But........" The stallion slamed the door in her face and she sighed. "Excuse me...." The white unicorn aproached the lavender one, who was chatting with other four students, one of them being Rainbow Blitz, who rolled his eyes at Rarity. "You´re excused.Rarity Is it? Sparkle, Twilight Sparkle Something I can help you with?" Her tone was dry and it was hard to tell how she was feeling, not that anyone wanted to know. "Yes, actually, it wasn´t very nice.........What you did back there" "Excuse me?" "It´s just that........We mares have to look out for each other.Shouldn´t have made me look bad like you did" "I was just answering the question.Not my fault you don´t care" "But I do care!!" "Not for your career you don´t" She replied, the pegasus beside her looking relieved "THANK YOU!" They shared a knowing smile, which greatly alarmed the blue-eyed pony "You two know each other?" "Yes, we´ve been friends for a long time and, just recently....." She got closer and closer, until her lips were right next to her right ear "He´s mine" She whispered and then returned to her previous spot.Rarity was taken aback by this "I.................I.................." She cleared her throat "CooooOOOOooooOOOoongratulations!" "Thanks" "So much for drama!" She heard a very familiar voice behind her and turned around to find...... "Sweetie What........?" "Oh, I´m not in here, sis, I´m in your mind!" She said, pointing to her head for emphasis "You could say I´m your greek chorus" Rarity breathed, relieved.She wasn´t seeing things, that is, she was but she wasn´t insane, she´d heard of cases that ponies, even her own friends that had their own greek chorus. "Hone, stop crying right now.We won´t lose him to THAT." She pointed to the unicorn, dissaproving "Wipe those tears and sing with me.You´re going to wear his ring.Cheer up, chin up, don´t worry, baby, we will get him soon" "OH MY GOSH! You´re making me sick" Rarity admited. "Are we?" Asked the male pegasus behind her.Before she could apologize or something, Twilight Sparkle smiled "Oh, sorry, Rarity, we´ll go now.Hey, Blitzy, let´s take this to my place" "Yeah" The stallion answered, wrapping a wing around her.They walked away and didn´t look back. "Blitzy" The white pony sighed. "Oh, come on, Rare, BE POSITIVE!" "You want me to be positive?! FINE! I´m positive.That this has gone too far.And I´m positive, that it won´t be as easy as I thought.No more trashy carrin´ on, that only makes me look worse I NEED A SALON!" "YES!" "Now, I´m positive.Now, please don´t go enraged cause I´m positive that it´s time for me to die my hair!" "WHAT?!" "YES!" "NO!" "YES!" "Rarity, you´re not being......" "POSITIVE!" > Enter Fluttershy > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Butterslice Hair Salon was one of the many places where mares could get their manes done.It was specially known for having a kind owner who listened to what her clients had to say.When Rarity went in, she found it almost empty but full of life, something similar to a whale´s call filling the background with it´s angelic noise.It was inviting and relaxing.She found the beautiful thirty-something pegasus working on the back. "Give me just a second" "Of course" The unicorn smiled as she sat down and picked up a fashion magazine from a pile. Almost inmediately, the yellow mare was there, behind her. "So, What is it that you want?" She took a deep breath "Make me a dark blue" "Huh? D-dark blue? I.......Don´t think that´s such a good idea" "Why?" ""Why would you.......?" "Rarity Belle." Young mare pulled out a hoof "Fluttershy Butterfly" The other mare shook it "I Came all the way from Mareibu to study laws with my one true love, Rainbow Blitz." She sighed, and frowned "But now he...............He´s................................................Dumped me for an evil vampire mare." She tried her best not to cry in front of this mare she´d just met "And I know I have to be better and more for him to come back.Her mane is dark blue so I´ll be dark blue" "Oh, Rarity, no mare should have to change for a stallion, specially one like you" Fluttershy seemed to have her sight lost on a mirror a good distance away from the both of them. "You mean, because I´m beautiful" "Yes.But I can also see that you´re nice.I´ve had my ups and downs with stallions and I can garantee that you shouldn´t go this far.Dark blue is not exactly your color...............................................................No offense" She sheepishly hid her face under her perfectly groomed mane. "Thank you" The pegasus smiled "Anything else?" She placed some bits in the pocket of her jacket with magic "A little hooficure, if you don´t mind" "Not at all.Just another minute" "Of course" And back to the magazine. Behind her, three mares had just entered the salon and seemed to be completely lost in their conversation.Rarity barely noticed them until.... "I don´t even know what I should wear!" "Does it matter? Go, get drunk, laugh with the others, be glad you got in to one of the greatest schools, end.Don´t worry about it" "Right, I forgot I was talking to you, Twi-Twi" She suddenly froze Twi-Twi could be an anagramme for she turned around "TWILIGHT! HI!" She felt like she was dying, and bit her lip. "IT´S ME! RARITY!" "Of course.Hi there What are you doing here?" "Just.................Getting a hooficure......." The white pony moved her whooves awkardly and turned her sight to the other two mares in front of her "...................................Hi" "Oh! Right! These are Lyra Heartstrings" "Hi Rarity!" "And Twinkleshine" "Hello!" "Nice to meet you both Something you´re doing here?" "Just getting our manes done for the party tonight" "Party?" "Yeah, tonight.Everypony in our class will be there" "Everypony? Eve..............?" "Yes" Twilight interrupted the blue-eyed mare "Even Blitzy" "W............What kind of party is it?" Twilight looked at her friends and smirked "A costume party" "Ooh! I love those!" "Good to know" She handed her a piece of paper with the adress on it "See you there tonight!" As the three of them moved to the other side of the salon and back to their conversation, Rarity couldn´t help but smile. "You heard that, Fluttershy?" "I most certainly did." The pegasus smiled back as she started the hooficure "Would you stay after they´re gone, please? I just........" "I will" "Thanks" "I swear I had it here somewhere" Fluttershy muttered as she looked through the supply closet "What?" "OH!" She opened the door, a pink cloth in her mouth "Herm, mah shecre weapum" The unicorn levitated the thing out of her mouth and looked at it "What?" "You´re gonna wear this at the party tonight.Trust me, you´ll be great" Rarity grinned "Thank you.It´s nice that you believe in me" Fluttershy was taken aback by the unicorn hugging her, blushe, hugged her back and admitted "Rare, if a mare like you can´t win back a stallion, then there´s no hope for the rest of us.You go, you fight for it!" "Fluttershy Butterfly you´re a great friend!" > A Jack On Your Shoulder > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A bar? That was a weird place to have a costume party in The unicorn thought as she entered the small building.She knew that Fluttershy´s costume looked amazing in her but she never expected the reactions she got once she was standing at the door, in full view of everypony else. Whistling, laughing, gasping.She heard it all.But she did not care.She only cared about the cyan stallion who was only turning reder and more annoyed as she got closer. "Rarity What are you wearing?" Rainbow Blitz demanded to know "A costume? For the costume party? And I must say, your Casual Friday look is admirable" "Um.............................This is a normal party?" "It is?" She blushed "Why, I must´ve misheard something." "Yeah" He grumbled and was about to fly as far away from her as he could before she begged: "Wait!" "Yeah?" "I..................................Is Twilight here?" "She probably is Why?" "She´s so smart.Maybe almost as smart as me" He smiled "Sorry, Rare, I just can´t take you seriously wearing that" "You want me to take it off?" Many stallions around her murmured yes, but the one right in front of her didn´t.Actually, he broke down laughing. "Real good one there, Rare" Her blush increased along with his laughter, only one thing could make that moment worse "Blitzy!" The purple unicorn called out.Had this actually been a costume party, Rarity would´ve bet hers was Bella Swan "Oh there you are, Twilight!" The pegasus wrapped a wing around his new girlfriend "We were just talking about you" "Were you now?" She chuckled "I..................I...........................Have to go" "Already? You just entered" "I........................................Need.............................STUDY! BYE!" She ran away as fast as she could "You know what´s funny? That´s exactly what she needs!" "Yeah.Bye!" They both waved with their whooves Applejack was just heading to his room at Canterlot Law when he heard a weird noise.He turned and saw it came from a mare sitting in a park bench.Weeping, crying, sobbing.He cursed his curiosity as he aproached her and noticed he´d seen her before.............. "Rarity?" "Oh it´s you, Applejohn" "Jack" "Huh?" "Name´s Applejack" "Oh, sorry" He shrugged "Have ya been cryin´?" "You don´t want to know" He took off his jaket and handed it to her "Ah´m pretty sure I do " "Love" "Wha?" "I´ve always believed in love.And went where it went, followed him along." He took a second to process what she was singing, sat down next to her and nodded. "But now everything´s turning to HELL.Thinks I´m not smart enough I WISH THAT I WAS DEAD AND THAT LAW SCHOOL WASN´T A THING!" "STOP!!" She looked at him in the eyes.Emeralds met saphires and he sighed "Did you REALLY just followed a guy? Do you not care about Canterlot Law? Would you jump from a cliff just for him? " She raised an eyebrow "Maybe?" Another sigh "Where are you from?" "Mareibu?" "Ya´re insane" "Oh Why are YOU here?" He closed his eyes "Ah grew up on an apple farm.With mah grandma and several colts.Guys who showed me all the ways someone can fail." He took a deep breath "Ah got to Canterlot by working mah flank off.Not stupid dreams but a simple plan.Please forgive me for not weeping at that tale" "I forgive you.You know, just because you got some kind of chip on your shoulder..................." "Yeah, there is a chip on mah shoulder but not on yours.And I don´t like seeing ya like this.Either you go big, or go home.If ya can´t take the day off, ya just keep thinking of your pay off What do ya need?" "I need to prove to everyone that I´m serious" "And so, you have to start working" She sighed "You remind me of somepony, you know" "Ah´ll take that as a compliment." He got up and offered her his hoof "What do ya say?" She reluctantly took his hoof and they got to her room.While Rarity was in the bathroom changing, Applejack had to wonder if that much pink and white was even legal.He looked all throught the room but he just couldn´t find..................Oh Celestia she did not........Well only one way of finding out "Where are your law books?" He asked, once she was finally out of the bathroom "I...............Um" She looked around, nervous, with her whooves on the pocket of her jacket.Until she saw in the corner of her eye "HERE!" She levitated the one book from under a Team Jacob shirt and handed it to him with a confident smile. Applejack sighed, ripped the book out of its plastic and opened in page one... > And Friendship It Was > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rarity yawned.Their study sesion had been going for a while, but she wasn´t complaining, anything to get her closer to sucess was welcome, she just needed a pause or her head would explode. Applejack yawned back at her and was taken aback when she got up from her seat and started walking towards the other side of the room. "Hey What´s gotten into ya?" She levitated something out of a box she had in a bookshelf and a snaping noise was heard.He walked up to her and looked at her weird "What´s that?" She turned around and showed she was levitated two cans of............. "Cider without alcohol?" "Helps keeping me awake.Here" She handed him the one can that wasn´t open "I´m guessing you really like this stuff." "Thanks" She shrugged They sat down with the book once again, every once in a while taking a little sip of their ciders.Applejack chuckled. "Ah actually thought you will enjoy the alcohol one better" "Well yes I do" She chuckled a little too "But I never drink with a stallion around, good sir" "Says the mare that Ah found looking like a stripper and just sitting in the street." "Look-in................ li-ke a..........................IT WAS A COSTUME PARTY!!" "´Kay then, sorry" He looked around a little and noticed "Ya still have some lipstick in your cheek" She licked her hoof and quickly cleaned it off.She then admited "You know, I´m lucky you were the one who saw me.Had it been anypony else I would´ve gotten in trouble.You really are a fine gentlecolt, Applejack" "aw shucks, mah granny just taught me well, that´s all..................Speaking of granny..................Don´t take this the wrong way but I don´t think she would like Nightmare Night with ya" She smiled and waved her hoof as if she was hitting him "Let it go!" "Turn away and close the doors!" She slowly, slowly blinked and then burst out laughing.He laughed a little too.When the laughter died, she took a deep breath "Applejack, I believe this is the start of a good friendship" "I still can´t believe it didn´t work!" Fluttershy admitted, as she applied trasnparent hoof polish over her unicorn friend´s left hoof. "Neither can I" She sighed "I really don´t wanna give up" "Then don´t.Come on, finish the story" "Okay.I went outside and bumped into this guy, Applejack.He says he can help me with this school stuff.So yeah, I´m not giving up yet.Thank you" "Your welcome" Suddenly, the door sprung open and the floor moved slightly.Everone in the shop turned around to see a stallion standing there.A few jaws dropped.The stallion was taller than the mayority of the ponies inside of the salon and his bulky muscular body was covered in a dark green delivery uniform.A few jaws were dropped as he trotted towards the center of the salon and looked around with a look nopony could really identify as anything, "I got a package" He spat out, suddenly, gaining weird looks and making a certain yellow pegasus flush with the tone of his voice "Which one of these lovely ladies is Fluttershy Butterfly?" Even more blushing and as everyone turned to look at her, the pegasus meeped.The unicorn sitting beside her smirked "Over here!" She called out and pointed at the statue of embarassment that was her older friend Rarity helped her sign the papers, placed the package on her back and a bit on the mail-stallion´s hoof.He blinked "Bulk Biceps here" After getting the bit on his pocket, he held out his hoof for her to shake it, but she didn´t. "I´m new" Awkard silence Goodness gracious Did he break her? I can perfectly see why she isn´t married now Rarity mused inside her head as the stallion took off his hat only to put it back on three seconds later. "Do me a favor, have yourselves a super day." "Oh, we will" "Thanks" The moment he closed the door and stepped out was the moment Fluttershy´s wings sprung open with no elegance.She shook her head and covered it all up with a smile "Oh, the mane styling tools I´ve ordered the other day.Good" She put them away and got back to what she was doing before the stallion had broke in. Rarity giggled "You like him Do you?" "I´m straight Aren´t I? Not my fault" "No, I mean........." "Oh" Fluttershy´s cheeks turned pink, matching her mane "No, no.Rarity, we shared two words, don´t jump into things.Please" "Fine, I won´t, sorry." "Even if I did like him You think I´d have a shot?" She laughed, hard. "Maybe" Rarity murmured "Anyways, keep telling me about that farmer friend, he sounds nice" "Bye, Rainbow, Have a great Thanksgiving and Nightmare Night! Say hi to your brother and dad for me! And Tanky Turty!" The unicorn waved a hoof at the pegasus and then, turned to her earth pony friend beside her, holding a few books in his whooves "Define malum prohibitum." "Malum prohibitum is, ummm . . ." He sighed "An act prohibited......" She suddenly interrupted him "AN ACT PROHIBITED BY LAW! like jaywalking or chewing gum in Wingsapore." He smiled and nodded "Therefore malum ensae?" "Is an action. That is evil in itself.Assualt, murder, age spells, white hat after labor day." He laughed "Doing good, doing good" "Thanks" She got up and streched her whooves a little "Now if you excuse me, darling, I have to pack my things up" "Pack? Where ya going?" "Home, of course, it´s autumn break Remember?" "Aha" He pondered for a second She raised an eyebrow "What?" "Well Ah´m not surprised to see that ya passed....." "Thanks" She tried for a hug but he cut her "In the bottom percent of your class!!" "Hey!" "No offence but mediocre. At best" "Hey, I thought you took me seriously! This is not fair!" "Ah´m very sorry, Rares, I´m not the one who´s in charge of your grades.Tried to help ya here but This is the real world!! Looking fer fair, ya´ll better be looking for an earth pony that can fly.I´ve been laughed at too, y´know, but that´s because only the fastest runers win the race." He looked her in the eye "What do ya´ll say?" She sighed "Don´t you ever get tired of always being right?" He smiled, bright and big and hugged her "There she is See you at the park tonight?" "Tomorrow.I need to get a refound" As typical of any December night, it was cold, it was white and many ponies at the Canterlot dorms were either packing or exchanging gifts. "This is so lovely.Thank you, Rarity" "Thank you, Fluttershy" They suddenly got interrupted by somepony knocking the door.Rarity opened it with her magic and was inmediately tackled by an all-too-familiar face. "Ho-ho-ho, little ladies!" "F-Fluttershy here" She murmured "And you must be Applejack.Rare told me so much about you" He chuckled "Did she now?" "Oh, like you are inocent" The unicorn replied Another chuckle "Yeah, Ah´m not, Ah´ll give you that" "Thanks but What´s with the costume? Not Nightmare Night anymore.Thought, you do look good in red" He smirked and looked up "Well" The earth pony got a wrapped up box out of his saddle bag "For you.Not as good as going home for Hearth´s Warming but......." "Save it." She asked as she opened the present.Upon seeing what was inside, she gave it a weird look "´S a real time saber.Shampoo ´n conditioner in one" "Thank you.You´re so adorable to think of me" They hugged and the pegasus standing in front of them smiled. "Oh, sorry, Rarity, I just remembered I had something to do tonight.I´ll just leave you two be" She flapped opened her wings and started flying towards the window "Okay.See you later,Flu............." She stopped when she realised "Huh, she never leaves throught the window" He shrugged "Maybe she was in a hurry." Rarity breathed and levitated something out of one of her desk´s drawers.It was a dark brown stetson hat, with some bright green stripes at the edges, the stallion squinted at it a little. "You made it yourself?" "Yup" She chuckled "Ya have a great talent" "I know! I was gonna try and sell it but........................." She used her magic to replace the Santa Whooves hat he was wearing for the one she made "Happy Hearth´s Warming" "Happy Hearth´s Warming"
