rarity sees herself in a mirror
She was frozen in total awe.
Rarity had seen her reflection countless times before, but there was something about this moment. Maybe it was how the light shown on the mirror or maybe it was the dress she was wearing. The only thing that was certain was that she could not move. No, it was more like she did not have the will to move. She just stood there, staring at her reflection.
“No Rarity, you have work to do. You don’t have time to look at yourself all day,” She told herself, hoping it would snap her away from the mirror. It was a vain attempt, for hours had gone by and she was still staring at her reflection.
Rarity became terrified. Would this be how she dies, staring into a piece of glass? About to give up, Rarity saw something that would have made her jump for joy if she could. The room started to get dark. “Yes, just another hour or so and I won’t be able to see myself in the mirror,” Rarity told herself. So she waited, still staring until the room went dark. The hour had come and past; the whole room was dark except for the mirror.
“CURSE YOU LUNA!” Rarity screamed eternally, for the light of the moon was shining through a window onto the mirror and oh Celestia, it made it even worse. She was even more gorgeous than she was during the day. Any free will she once had was now gone. Her last hope of freedom was now gone…
*knock knock*
Rarity had heard knocks on her door hundreds of times before, but this knock was the most joyous sound she had ever heard; it meant her freedom. Though the sound that followed made her heart sink. It was the rattle of the door knob.
“No, I forgot to unlock the shop,” Rarity started to cry. “Why did I have to get this bloody mirror in the first place? I wish I could smash it,”
Rarity spent the rest of the night staring at her reflection ‘til her sister came home.
“Wait, Sweetie Belle, please save me! I need your help!” Rarity screamed. Sadly, it was only on the inside; she had lost the will to talk.
“Rarity, where are you?” Sweetie Belle called out. There was no reply, so she went back outside to play with her friends. A tear went down Rarity’s face
**a couple days later**
Rarity’s friends started to worry about her; They had not seen her in so long. So, rainbow Dash went to her house/boutique. Not minding that the door was locked, she just burst in screaming. “RARITY, WHERE ARE YOU?!” About to head up stairs to where Rarity was, Dash’s eyes were caught by a piece of paper.
Dear friends, I will be in Manehatten for a month. I am sorry if this causes any problems.
the paper read. Disappointed, Rainbow Dash left.
Rarity had completely forgotten about Manehatten, and thanks to that note, nopony one would think to look for her for at least a month.
Two more weeks had gone by. Her breath had become shallow, her throat dry from having no water, and her legs ached. none of this could stop her from staring at her reflection rarity had finally gave up content on how she was going to die she was happy knowing that at least there would be a beautiful face smiling at her when she passed…
**the house began to shake**
it was an earthquake a freedom that rarity never thought could come but it did. the mirror fell and broke she was now freed. not risking it she dared not look at any of the pieces and made her way down stairs to her room painfully. the trip took three hours. finally she got into bed and fell asleep
**three days later**
rarity awoke still sore but very hungry. she used what little energy she had left to make herself a sandwich and a drink of water a couple more days had gone bye while rarity waited for her strength to return
**knock knock**
“yes come in” rarity called out. it was Apple Jack.
“Oh im sorry rarity i heard noise coming from here and i thought someone had broken in. Rainbow Dash told me you were in manehatten and you would be gone for a month.”
“Oh i finished my work early so i decided to come home.” Rarity lied she would have died of embarrassment if anypony had found out the truth.
“Darling you know what we have not seen each other in so long lets have have a spa day” Rarity said.
“I don’t know i'm not really into that kind of thing Rarity” replied AJ.
“Oh nonsense it will be fun infact lets invite the rest of our friends.”
“Ok if you insist.”
A couple hours later all six ponies are at the spa enjoying themselves. Well almost all of them. Rainbow Dash wasn't really happy after all she hated the fancy stuff but to not be rude she sat down and started to read the paper.
“So rarity how was manehattan?” Twilight ask.
“It was great thank you for asking” rarity replied.
The ponies began to relax letting all the worries of the world pass by them but the moment of zen was broken by dash uncontrollably laughing.
“dash what's wrong with you? You scared fluttershy” AJ said with a disappointed look on her face.
“I’m sorry but you guys have to read this.” Dash said showing the newspaper article to her friends. it read.

“How can you die from staring at yourself in a mirror?” Twilight asked.
“Yah what an idiot” Rainbow replied.
“I Agree” Rarity nervously chuckled.
And from that day on Rarity never looked at herself in a mirror again and so she became the most ugly mare in ponyville.
