Friendship is Magic, Part 2 (Elements of Harmony)
My dearest diary;
Good heavens! This has been a rather exhausting ride. Many feats of courage, love, and even some laughter made for much of a gripping, yet riveting adventure.
Last time I wrote to you, the Summer Sun Celebration was about to begin. I was exuberant for, not only the sun to rise, but to see Princess Celestia. Both plans were unfortunately thwarted however. I pulled the curtains, hoping for the princess to be revealed. I was sadly mistaken though. My excite was turned to upset instead. Princess Celestia was mysteriously not there.
Suddenly, a wicked mare of darkness emerged, almost eerily from the mist and shadows. She had a look of resentment and umbrage on her face. Her mane was flowing, but not in the same beautiful way like Princess Celestia's. It was instead night blue mist bordered by translucent purple. The mane does not suit her. When you have a dark mane, you shouldn't extend it to make it too big. That makes you blend into the dark. I know that this pony is evil and all, but she needs to have some style in fashion.
The mysterious figure called us her 'subjects', though I couldn't imagine why. Only Princess Celestia, a royal figure, would've called us this.
Rainbow Dash wanted to fight this figure for possibly stealing the princess, but Applejack was forced to hold her back. The figure called herself royal and asked us if we even knew who or what she was. Pinkie Pie, for some odd reason, was still optimistic about things, and was actually making fun of the princess. I don't think that party pony was even aware of how rude she was acting. Everypony else was cowering in fear, except for a lady, of course. They must always keep their wits about things in situations like this one.
The strange figure apporached me, and asked me if I recalled any legends, and if I saw any signs. Not only was I shivering in fear, but I wanted to call this mare out on this. I wanted to explain to her about how busy I am, and how I can't spend the time engaging with others about hidden philosophies and that sort, but I was just too nervous, and, unfortunately, this lead to her mane slapping me across the face. The mane felt like a cold breeze: dry and unpleasant.
But suddenly, it was that new pony, Twilight, that managed to recognize this figure, calling her the Mare in the Moon – Nightmare Moon.
The malevolent mare seemed to confirm this, and told us that "the night will last forever".
She immediately attacked town hall, where the celebration was being held. She even managed to injure the Royal guards. Her eyes, in a perplexing manner, turned a very bright white as she attacked them. Those poor royal guards. I always had thought of them as handsome heroes, and now, they went through some turmoil with this strange 'Nightmare Moon'.
Rainbow Dash wanted to fight her immediately, but the wicked mare had already vanished. She turned into smoke, and took off to a different destination, far beyond Ponyville.
After this occurrence, Rainbow Dash noticed Twilight trotting off. The speed demon landed into the destroyed town hall. Some ponies were lying down on the ground in fear, including Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash, as quick as she was, came flying at us.
Rainbow informed us that Twilight was galloping off and that she wanted to follow her. Rainbow Dash was acting rather suspicious, wondering why Twilight was the only pony who knew about Nightmare Moon. Rainbow suspected that Twilight was secretly working for Nightmare Moon, but Applejack denied this, asking Rainbow to just calm down, to which Dash responded that she's just trying to help us. Rainbow Dash is a very 'tough love' pony.
As Rainbow Dash pursued Twilight, we pursuited behind. On my way, I came across Sweetie Belle, who was panicking, wanting to hide at Carousel Boutique. I asked her to not touch anything when she goes in, and she promised not to. On second thought, maybe that wasn't such an ingenious idea after all. Sweetie Belle is always getting herself into trouble. I bet she thinks there's going to be zombie ponies now or something.
Rainbow Dash made it into the library. Rather than even knocking politely, she barged in rudely with no excuse. I noticed that baby dragon sleeping in his basket. He looked fairly adorable. I asked Fluttershy what his name was, to which she answered that his name was Spike. I noticed his covers slightly untidy. If you know me, you know that I can't keep things in a mess, unless I'm organizing the mess for art. I fixed his covers, and tucked him in, and I couldn't help but beam a little.
Twilight was searching frantically for a book about Nightmare Moon, and how to use objects called 'The Elements of Harmony', but Rainbow Dash confronted her, eager to get answers about Nightmare Moon, and these elements of harmony, even giving Twilight the nickname of a spy. I'm not quite so sure. Ever since I met Twilight the other day, I always thought she was one of those ponies who atacked from far away, rather than up close.
Applejack managed to push her back, and once again, asked her to calm down, assuring that Twilight is no spy. This shocks me, as I used to think Applejack was much more headstrong.
Applejack asked Twilight why she knew so much. Like the others, I was very curious about what Twilight knew. She answered that she read all about predictions of Nightmare Moon, and that the objects 'The Elements of Harmony' are the only things to defeat her, but that she didn't know what they mean or what they do, or even where they come from, or where to find them.
Pinkie Pie somehow found a reference guide to the elements, finding them under 'E'. You know, as zany and wacky as Pinkie Pie is, she's somewhat of a genius. I don't know how she got so energetic, but I am simply dying to know how she has so much spirit and whimsy.
Twilight read the book out loud to us. She said that the only five known elements are kindness, laughter, generosity, honesty, and loyalty. But then she read that the sixth is a mystery. She read out to us that some believe that the elements are located in 'The Ancient Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters'.
She read that the castle is located in The Everfree Forest. In case you don't know, that area is arguably one of the most dangerous places in the entirety of Equestria. There are dangerous beasts that lurk in that dreadful forest. I don't go there often. Ever since Sweetie Belle talked to me about rumors that she heard from school, I haven't been able to bring myself the courage. There were ursa majors mentioned that live there, along with other beasts like manticores, sea serpents, cockatrices, dragons, timberwolves, and other strange creatures.
Hearing that the elements were located in the Everfree Forest sent shivers down my spine. All of us were horrified to hear where the location of the elements were in. Even Rainbow Dash, as brave as she is, was worried about her own life in that forest. Even Applejack, as level-headed as she was, was hesitant about entering.
Twilight wanted to search for the elements alone, but because it seemed like all of us were impressed by this ponies likability, we decided to tag along. A pony who's from Canterlot has to have a valuable life ahead of them. I tagged along, as anypony who enters this forest most certainly needs some defenders to give a helping hoof.
While we were trudging through the forest, we couldn't help but want to turn back, but that would be a cowardly move. There's more to a lady than beauty.
Twilight tried checking to see if we ever entered the forest prior to this adventure, but I immediately replied, "No". I wondered how anypony would want to enter a place this sinister. Applejack added that it isn't natural, and it just doesn't work the same way as Equestria. Twilight asked what that could possibly mean.
Rainbow Dash, who earned her backbone once again, tried to intimidate us, by saying that anypony who ever came in, has never come out. If this story is true, it may explain those mysterious dissapearances of fillies in Sweetie Belle's school who went to The Everfree Forest.
Just then, the cliff we were positioned on was suddenly destroyed. I was falling to what I had thought was my untimely demise, but I was suddenly saved from danger due to the work of Fluttershy. I was speechless for words.
Fluttershy felt, admittedly, like a coward to me. But with this, she managed to be able to help me in danger without yelping in fear. She may have gotten shocked at first, but she saved me much quicker than I had imagined. Maybe this pony is more than meets the eye. Then again, it may have just been a stroke of adrenaline. When Twilight was falling off the cliff, and Rainbow and Fluttershy saved her, she still seemed like she didn't have much strength. It was strange because once I thanked her for her vital help, she answered, "You're Welcome", but in a low tone.
As we pushed further towards the castle, I wanted to know why it took so long for Twilight to fall off, until I learnt that it was the assistance of Applejack, who convinced her to fall. This was for Rainbow and Fluttershy to save her. Applejack is getting on my nerves. For a pony who earns low income from the mayor, she definitely has some confidence that she expresses.
As we ventured further into the forest, Rainbow Dash was boasting about her services. Well, as long as she can be useful, she doesn't bother me as much with her arrogance. That's what the adventure was feeling for me. I was still hesitant on 'friendship' but these ponies were pushing me in the right direction, despite their blatant problems.
Just then, a manticore suddenly came into view. He immediately aimed to claw and shred me into tiny pony pieces. I wouldn't allow any of it, and clashed him in the face with my hoof. No-one attacks the fashion queen. Unfortunately, he roared in my face, causing my mane to be cluttered, and tattered.
I trotted away. I was, at the very least glad that I weakened my opponent. Applejack proceeded to tackle against our foe next, using him as one of those classic rodeo bulls. I appreciate her help, but this was a fight, not a rodeo.
Rainbow Dash fought against the manticore next, attempting to spin him around, but instead, he whipped Rainbow away. Seeing someone valuable like that go down was something I wasn't going to stand for. We charged up on the manticore as a team, but Fluttershy stopped us dead in our tracks.
I couldn't watch when she walked up face to face with the manticore, but she worked hard and survived. Fluttershy located a thorn in the manticore's paw, even calling the creature a baby. He even licked Fluttershy when she pulled the thorn out. Fluttershy is intriguing to me. There's a lot I want to learn about her. Her ability to interact with other animals far outweigh her ability to interact with ponies.
Getting into the darker portion of the forest was a rough challenge. My eyes were strained. Normally, I get a certain designated amount of sleep so that I can do my work, but because of the Summer Sun Celebration, I stayed up throughout the entire night. Going into a dark forest was much more difficult for my eyes to take in, not to mention that I was walking in icky, icky, mud.
All of a sudden, the trees appeared to have their blank wood transformed into a face, eyes, mouth, and all. Instead of them just being made of wood, they now had faces on them (faces that looked very threatening). We all quivered in fear, that is, except for Pinkie Pie.
She was laughing, with a smile. It interested me that she wasn't even making a slight flinch. Suddenly, she burst into song, encouraging us to not be afraid. Maybe we shouldn't be afraid. Maybe Pinkie Pie is more inspirational than I had imagined. Her choice of words made us all laugh and cheered us up. The trees looked like they were powered by hatred and chaos, and laughter like Pinkie's and ours managed to take them down.
In any case, we were all in a wonderful mood. This delightful attitude kept us all optimistic, until we reached a river, with crashing waves. It was coming from a sea serpent, who was crying. He wasn't as nasty as I predicted. I hope if i ever come across other wildlife, that they'll be as kind as he was.
Twilight wanted to know why this mustached serpent was crying. He told us that a cloud of purple smoke whisked past him, and tore off about half of his beautiful mustache, making him look horrid. The water he crashed on managed to wet all of us. I would scold him for wetting my mane, but instead, i wanted to help.
Rainbow Dash, and Applejack thought that the problem was worth nothing crying for, but I snapped at them, demanding to know why they would be so insensitive.
I valued his lovely luminescent scales, expertly coiffed mane, and fabulous manicure. But it was all ruined without his beautiful mustache. I never leave a crime against fashion go uncorrected. There was no fashion equipment nearby, so I bit on one of his scales, and cut most of my own tail. The sea serpent collapsed from shock of one of his scales being ripped clean off. Using my levitation, I attached most of my tail to the sea serpent's face in the position of where one side of his mustache originally was.
I was glad to have helped the sea serpent in need. The Everfree Forest isn't as life risking as I'd imagined it, at least when you have friends there anyways. The sea serpent was even nice enough to use himself as a bridge for us to cross over. Hopping onto different scales over a river wet my hooves a little, but it was worth it.
Eventually, we finally reached the castle. All that stood in our way was a bridge. Sadly, it wasn't attached to anything. It was simply dangling. Rainbow Dash volunteered to attach the bridge using her flying skills.
When Dash crossed, I was watching something strange. She was conversing with some mysterious figures, who used their eyes to shroud everything we could see in smoke. But in the end, the figures vanished and Rainbow Dash joined up with us once more, saying that she would never leave her friends. Wow, no matter how brash and how big her ego is, Rainbow Dash is very dependable. I just wish she would care about others more than herself more. She appears to be very impatient, and lacks any type of empathy for others.
Here it was now though. We finally reached the castle. But like the book says, there were only five elements. Twilight noted that she had an idea, and suggested that we stand back. Applejack offered an idea: that we should temporarily walk outside.
But it was only seconds before we could hear Twilight calling us, begging and beseeching for our guidance. A cloud of smoke took control of the elements, giving Twilight a rush of adrenaline, and made her hop in, causing the cloud of smoke to use a forceful teleportation spell.
We all panicked, but thankfully to myself, I managed to find the room Twilight was teleported into. We trotted as fast as we could upstairs to the room Twilight was situated inside.
As we wandered in, we could hear Twilight calling us, in fact, 'the elements'. For Applejack's reassurance, she earned the element of honesty, for Fluttershy's domestic nature towards animals, she earned the element of kindness, for Pinkie's playful nature, she earned the element of laughter, for Rainbow Dash's devotion towards us, she earned the element of loyalty, and me, for my gentle nature towards a sea serpent, caused me to earn the element of generosity.
The spark ignited between the six of us created the sixth element – magic. As our elements formed to make a powerful blast, we defeated the unpleasant foe using all of our magical strength.
In the end, we all had necklaces magically created. Mine looked positively fabulous. In fact, Fluttershy pointed out that the necklace looked like my cutie mark. I even managed to get my mane back. I shall cherish it for the rest of my life.
Applejack noted that we may represent friendship after all. But then, as the sun rose beautifully, Celestia appeared before my now bright eyes. It was as if her regal, and bright figure helped my eyesight once again.
She explained to Twilight that she sent her to Ponyville because she knew she could defeat Nightmare Moon with the power of friendship. For a pony with a career like my own, I never expected to be honored as a hero.
Nightmare Moon's armor was destroyed, and instead, there was a light blue pony looking worn out and injured. I would have given her a make-over, but then I learnt that she's a princess. 'Princess Luna' as Celestia puts it. She'd have too much time on her hooves for I to provide my services.
But on topic; Yes! There is another princess in Equestria! This is quite a large deal for me, as I always imagined Celestia was the only princess. After all, this sun loving princess can lift the sun and moon. She's one of my biggest idols.
But even more of a shock, this is Celestia's sister! I nearly fainted in such anticipation and shock, but I had this surge of confidence in myself that made me not break down as much. You see, with all the time I spent with the others, it gave me confidence in myself.
And even more! This 'Princess Luna' was Nightmare Moon. Thankfully, the two sisters reunited after one-thousand years. Luna apologized, and Pinkie Pie held a party for all of us in the end.
During the celebration, Twilight made a very glum expression. She seemed upset now because she had to leave all of us, and move back to the amazing, fantastic, fabulous, and dynamic city of Canterlot. But our princess, Celestia, decided to decree that Twilight stay in Ponyville and learn more about friendship. And to even write to Celestia about any new things she's learnt about friendship every week.
We are in high spirits over our new friend. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie have even grown on me over this adventure. I suppose I can interact with these five ponies, and that dragon, Spike, in my free time.
Who knows? Maybe these whole 'friendship' endeavors will be a thrilling turn of events. Now if I could just find Sweetie Belle...
~Rarity
My dearest diary;
How splendid and fabulous today has been. I was buying some fashion supples that I would be using for an ensemble for the Grand Galloping Gala. Along my way however, I stumbled upon Spike, who was holding tickets to the gala. Pinkie Pie informed me news that Twilight was taking her. As much as my aspiration is to be a fashion designer, I previously mentioned that I've also wanted to be a princess. But this isn't just to be royal. It would be so that I can meet, him! Prince Blueblood, the princess' nephew. If he were to meet me, and take my hoof in marriage, I would yelp, "YES!" and together, we would be together forever and ever and ever!
Unfortunately, I was irritated that Twilight was bringing Pinkie with her so that Pinkie could 'party'. However, I learnt that Twilight hadn't picked anypony to come with her yet. This gave me enough adrenaline to be more ecstatic about my chance of going to the gala, but I had some competition.
Not only did Pinkie Pie want to go with Twilight, but others did too. Fluttershy's pet bunny snatched the tickets and shown them to her. Fluttershy shown indication that she wanted to go to the grand galloping gala. I was shocked. Why, in the name of Celestia, would Fluttershy want to attend a public event that many ponies will be present at. I asked her why she wanted to go, to which she responded that it was to see all of the flora and fauna. No, I do not care for wildlife. Too dirty for my own taste.
I have no exact idea how that bunny of hers acts. One moment, he's acting adorable, the next, he's doing random things. It's like Sweetie Belle if she were unlikable. This bunny is unlikable in the way that he was foiling my plans of ~~being a ruler of Equestria~~ marrying Prince Blueblood.
Next, I learned that Rainbow Dash, and Applejack also wanted to attend the gala. I tried explaining how, if I were royalty, the percentage of how well fashion is would go up, but it was hard for me to even be heard. Twilight yelled to interrupt all of us, and Pinkie Pie was strangely talking about oatmeal. Maybe that's the real reason she wants to go to the gala. What a juvenile reason. My reasons were obviously the most mature and free-willed, but considering the only friends I have, I decided to not risk losing any of them.
I asked Twilight to reconsider, but she snapped at me. Feeling like my ladylike charm was too much, I backed away. You can't make your words too obvious.
Twilight told all of us that she hadn't made up her mind yet, and asked us to leave. On my way back to a shop to get some supplies, I thought to myself about how to convince Twilight to take me, but nothing was coming to mind; that is until the rain started.
I immediately picked out my best raincoat, but could see Rainbow Dash standing on a cloud talking to a pony. I knew that she was trying to convince Twilight to take her to the gala. Twilight disregarded Rainbow's obvious best efforts. I tried to be as generous as I could: by bringing Twilight, and Spike in from the rain. Next, I thought, maybe Twilight would give her extra ticket to me.
As we entered, Twilight shook herself, and drenched my entire body. I wanted to snap at her (I was even giving off a glare), but I held in all of my frustration, and managed to make Twilight try on a new outfit, not only to convince her to bring me to the gala, but also so that she could look more divine.
I also tried an outfit on Spike in case he was giving. You must look like a sir and handsome gentlemen if you expect to go to the gala. He immediately ran away from what I was doing, but it didn't matter. I finally had Twilight's trust in my grasp. I am always the best at subtle performances. I admit that I am rather deceptive, but it helps in a hard world like this one. Unfortunately, I was so desperate to attend this auspicious occasion, that my acting was much too melodramatic, and over-the-top. Admittedly, my performance was too one-sided in my favor.
Twilight was onto me. She left my boutique furiously, but was welcomed by Applejack, who was trying to feed Twilight food because she was hungry. I slowly trudged along to the door and shut it tight in dissapointment. I couldn't bear to watch another pony have a chance of winning Twilight's trust. But then I thought to myself, "If I pretend to act casual towards Twilight the next time I see her, I may just get a ticket after all". From there, I worked my acting skills to perfection.
Suddenly, a large group of ponies were stampeding through town, and passed by my boutique. They appeared to be chasing Twilight, possibly for the ticket. As admittedly desperate as I was, I knew Twilight's amount of choices had increased. I sneaked my way to her library, which was far away from where the stampede was.
When I entered, I found Fluttershy cleaning Twilight's library, most likely trying to impress her. Pinkie Pie was there also, who was napping on one of the beds. I glared, and rolled my eyes in irritance. These ponies seemed nice at first, but now, they are turning into classic cases of friendly annoyances.
Rainbow Dash sped in fast. I could feel the breeze she was making, so I ducked away. Finally, I noticed Applejack closely following behind, obviously suspicious of Dash's antics.
We all bickered when we joined one another upstairs, until soon enough, a powerful blast occured. Twilight and Spike had teleported themselves to the library, and we could see the two locking all windows and doors. When she turned around, she found all of us giving off the best acting we could.
But just there, I felt guilty. Twilight, all of a sudden, burst out at us in sheer rage. She noted about all of us being her friend, and that she will never be able to decide who to take. We all came to our apologies one by one, except for Rainbow Dash, who appears to find it harder to hold on to her dreams than I thought.
In the end, Twilight decided to not want to go to the gala at all, and sent the two tickets back to the princess, who, in return, gave Twilight six tickets for all of us. I was delighted. Prince Blueblood is the absolute hottest thing in Canterlot. I cannot wait to spend time with him.
~~I proposed to Blueblood because he was too shy to propose to me and together, wee dined at a royal hall, and I myself became royalty. Celestia gave me a crown, and then, my business was popular to everyone~~ I proposed that we take Twilight to dinner. Throughout our whole dinner with our hungry friend, I was just gushing non stop about the prince. I can't wait to meet him, he shall be everything I imagine, and MORE! Can you believe it?! Not only am I being paid for my ensemble, but I shall get married to Blueblood, and become the wife of the most handsome stallion in Equestria, not to mention that I will be royalty. YES!
Once, I meet Blueblood, it'll all be worth it.
Author's Note
For those of you, who are wondering why this was renamed to Rarity's diary, it's from a minor hiccup I noticed that I had caused. In Ponyville Confidential, Rarity refers to her 'journal' as her diary, so I may as well change the title to 'Rarity's Diary'. Don't worry, the setup is still the same.
My dearest diary;
Good grief! Why do disasters have to befall onto the town of Ponyville. About a week or so ago, we were treated to this power hungry mare of darkness and cruelty. And now, just recently, a stampede of cows were about to thrash our town. I was looking to go to a mart to get some cat food for Opalescence, until I heard Rainbow Dash scream about a stampede. The mayor wanted to calm us down, but I was in distress, and couldn't watch what dangers were about to unfold.
Suddenly, Applejack managed to herd all of the cows and round them away from Ponyville. "My cautious opinions towards her were immediately shattered", I thought. There was going to be this whole celebration devoted to her. Pinkie Pie, as you would expect, proposed the notion.
I got my giant ribbons and bows ready for our celebration that happened tomorrow. I even had one giant bow have apples filled on them.
However, I think Twilight was quite jealous of my organization skills. Her need to change the subject made me smirk to myself. Unfortunately, no-one had seen Applejack for a while. Rainbow Dash promised that she'll be there, because she's never late. This surprises me, as it makes me wonder if Applejack, and Rainbow knew each other before I met them. I wonder if they were both able to handle each other's headstrong natures.
At the ceremony, Twilight was presenting it as a tribute to Applejack, but Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy were interrupting her. Rainbow Dash is having Applejack's athletic skills help her, Pinkie Pie is helping Applejack bake with her, and Fluttershy is helping her with bunnies. Okay, since when is Applejack good at baking? Or since when can she help with soft creatures like bunnies?
Don't let her know this, but I'm actually really jealous of Applejack. I don't understand why everypony likes her so much.
Twilight was enraged. The Mayor interrupted her too, and took over the ceremony. She honored Applejack. Oh blah, blah, blah. Applejack this, and Applejack that. In all honesty though, I was thinking that maybe I should cut Applejack some slack. She saved the town from destruction, at least, that's what I thought.
Because once Applejack got to the ceremony after a long, stiff, and awkward delay, she felt different. She makes the apple cider in the town for cider season. I wonder if she drank so much, that she only chased the cows for fun. In any case, she grabbed her trophy, and made a slow exit. We all had our suspicions, and I personally thought her mane was messy. But to be honest, I always thought that it was.
From there, I got to work on what I was doing. It's been hard lately working on any creations due to all these strange happenings. Another one was about to happen. While in town, I overheard a few ponies discussing about half of the town being hospitalized by 'baked bads', from cupcakes that Applejack, and Pinkie made. This is exactly why I don't eat cupcakes too often. You can have a strange apple farmer trying to hospitalize everypony.
I had also then learned about a disaster involving a certain bunny stampede caused by Applejack, and Fluttershy. I wonder if Applejack is evil, or just incredibly drunk.
But throughout all of this, I learned from Twilight about Applejack's stubbornness. Apparently, she was handling 'applebuck season', which involves bucking the apples off the trees to harvest them. Applejack apparently overworked hersself, and found it harder to do tasks, though I still think she drank a lot of apple cider.
In the end, I felt sympathy for Applejack, as in that I considered her pathetic. But I volunteered to help finish the applebucking duties that she couldn't handle. I know I could've easily levitated the apples off the trees like Twilight did, but then I realized that if I buck the trees, maybe everypony would notice me more.
I drank some apple juice that Applejack gave us that I am confident had apple cider mixed in. Always keep a keen eye. I am really becoming suspicious of that farmer though. Maybe she's fattening us up to eat us. Or maybe the apples are made from ponies. I hope Applejack doesn't eat me. Not that moi doesn't have some delicasy involved when it comes to eating each other, but I don't want to be digested by someone like Applejack. The breath would stink. Prove me wrong that Applejack doesn't eat others. I may be over-the-top sometimes, but I am certain that I am right with this slightly exaggerated assumption.
Spike wanted us to eat the baked bads that were made, even though they were dropped in the trash. I bet Applejack used her EVIL powers to manipulate him. I'm not over-reacting. I'm not. Okay, maybe a tad small bit.
Author's Note
This chapter is a little stranger than others, but I enjoyed making it. Rarity has some refined tastes and opinions, maybe this is one of them.
My dearest diary;
I was working on my latest outfit for the gala, still trying to come up with ideas of what I should wear. Suddenly, a doorbell had rang. When I opened it, all that was in front of me was a group of flowers. I immediately considered that Prince Blueblood sent me these, to show me his silent affection, but then I started sneezing. I started thinking that Blueblood was nothing more than an "ennuyeux trou du cul", and then I felt a slight bit of rage, until I noticed that it was Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie. I was about to burst out at them, until Pinkie Pie sneezed and flew away, which admittedly gave me the slightest chuckle. I still have my suspicions that her, Applejack, and every other earth pony are planning to eat every other species in Equestria. I'm just humoring Pinkie Pie for now. Got to strike back at a suitable time.
Eventually, the secretly malicious earth pony invited us to a party. I predicted it was a party to eat everypony in Ponyville but the earth ponies, so I brought a spare needle from my store to use as self-defense.
Pinkie told every guest that the party was for a griffon called Gilda. You might me wondering, "How does lady Rarity know that this 'Gilda' is a griffon?" It was simple. I sneaked around every earth pony I saw until I met a fellow unicorn, Twilight. I asked her who Gilda is. Twilight replied that gilda is a griffon, and an old friend of Rainbow Dash. Once I heard this, I thanked Twilight for her help, and wished her luck in the upcoming Earth Pony War. She gave me a strange look, and asked if I was alright, to which I answered that I was, and that I've been saving my energy for the earth pony vs. pegasi and unicorn war.
Applejack walked over to me for conversation. To not seem childish, I attempted to converse with my earth pony acquaintance. She asked me who's this Gilda she's heard nothing about. I replied in a very condescending manner that I think that she's an old friend of Rainbow Dash, and is a griffon. I had my eyes closed and turned away to show that I wasn't 100% interested in Applejack. That way, she wouldn't sap any type of secret information I have.
After a while, I noticed pranks happening to Gilda. I was guessing that it was the earth ponies, starting off with a practical way of hurting this, but then proceeding to get worse with their so-called 'pranks' eventually. I refused to blurt out that though, just in case.
One prank done was spitting snakes in a wrapped box Gilda was opening, under the impression that it was a present. Applejack noted to me that somepony pulled the prank on her last month. I hope I caused you and your earth pony friends to forever fear me, Applejack!
To not want to accidentaly make my suspicions obvious, I decided to play a game of 'Pin the Tail on the Pony'. Applejack offered it, and I made it clear that it was my favorite game, mostly for the idea that you are adding an accesory to an otherwise bland model. I demanded that I go first, to show the earth ponies that they shall be inferior, despite their best efforts. I wanted the purple tail specifically, as that has the most usefulness. Applejack is jealous of purple tails.
Sadly, Gilda snatched the purple tail before I could grab hold of it. I bet that she's working for the earth ponies. Gilda, you're going on my worst archenemy's list, not just for being impolite, rude, and having a painful speech pattern, but also for you obviously working for Applejack. Her hat is the colour of your skin after all, so this obviously makes perfect sense.
As the evil Pinkie Pie guided Gilda to teach her how to play the game, I started thinking to myself that Pinkie Pie is most certainly teaching Gilda all of the ways of Equestria, so that she can teach her griffon friends. Together, earth ponies and griffons will band together, and overthrow Princess Celestia, thus ruling our beautiful Equestria. "I will fight", I thought. "No, too much of a scene to make", I said to myself.
Oddly enough though, Gilda appeared to be acting ignorant towards her comrade, Pinkie Pie. She was impersonating her. Part of me believes that Gilda has been thought how every earth pony talks, and has memorized all of their language.
Gilda, in the end, ended up tripping on some cake leftovers on the ground. I saw Spike eating the cake, but he didn't eat too much of it. When no-one looked, I destroyed the entire cake, and made sure that an earth pony would trip. This would cause one member of the opposition to be weakened.
Mysteriously, Gilda, in the words of juvenile fillies, "flipped out" at Pinkie Pie, thinking that she did all of the pranks that landed on Gilda. However, Rainbow Dash was the actual practical joker, who said that the pranks weren't just meant for Gilda. They were meant for everypony, the more dangerous ones for the earth ponies. Rainbow Dash tried intimidating Gilda, thus striking fear into her, making her quit her dirty work. Thank you, Rainbow Dash. You are a hero.
Rainbow Dash pushed Gilda out of the earth pony and pegasi alliance, and Gilda stormed off. Something is telling me that this whole uproarious event was a simple act by Gilda, and Pinkie Pie. They are working us up to fight, as they are with themselves. Bloody showhorses.
In the end, Rainbow Dash apologized to Pinkie Pie, though Pinkie should be apologizing for her secret malevolent plans. She even had a hoofbuzzer. Both sides were obviously trying to weaken each other. Rainbow Dash slightly sacrificed herself. For that, I thank her. Much to my dismay, Pinkie still had energy left in her.
We continued the party for another few hours. I played with the purple tail in front of Fluttershy. I said to her, "Pretend that this is an earth pony". She laughed and laughed. The Pegasi are my faithful companions. Thank you, legion. We shall forever triumph.

Rarity appeared for like a minute in the episode. Oh, the things I come up with
My dearest diary;
Green hair! That's all that lady Rarity needs to note. But for the sake of communication, allow me to explain. A very irritating showmare wheeled her cart into our town of Ponyville. What started as a calm day soon transformed into a day of sorrow, and annoyance, but mostly annoyance.
This showmare called herself "The Great and Powerful Trixie". Not only was she bringing shame to our unicorn legion, but she was also acting as a boaster. And, worst of all, she turned my mane green! What a gross colour for hair! It may be good on something fierce/cute like a dragon, but it's not good for hair. An earth pony felt insulted because she had green hair. I could care less. It's an earth pony. They have their diabolical ways and the like.
When I came home to Sweetie Belle, she couldn't help but giggle at my hair. I told her not to laugh, to which she responded by telling me that she'll die her hair green also. I stopped her before she had the chance, but then she started weeping. She should be more like me: whine without tears.
This Trixie was also hurting my friends. She hurt my valuable warrior, Rainbow Dash, and my private adversary, Applejack. This might have left me having a mixed opinion on this mare for the wonderful things she did to Applejack, but Lady Rarity's biggest gripe is that she betrayed the trust of Unicorn and Pegasi. Forever.
Spike, as kind as he is, kept on rambling on and on about Twilight, though when he said it near me, he ran off looking for a mustache. I see the interest in growth, but he doesn't have anything to help him with this. Unless Twilight can perform a mustache spell. If she can, then I am dissapointed. That would be both unfunny, and useless in a fight. Mustaches? Please! The bushiness gets everywhere.
In the end, those rapscallions, Snips and Snails, brought an Ursa into town, because Trixie said that she vanquished an Ursa Major. Due to her showing how useless she would be in the war, Twilight ended up getting rid of the Ursa, who turned out to not be an Ursa Major, but an Ursa Minor.
Spike came to me later, showing off his mustache. He called it great and powerful, leaving me no choice but to kick him out of my store. The words "great and powerful" have been mentally inputted into my brain, and left a scar on my cleverness and wit.
So, to wrap things up, the Ursa Minor destroyed Trixie's home, amde her homeless, and now, I beleive she wanders around aimlessly looking for food. I wanted to go look for her, as I was worried, but sometimes, you must let members go. Lose some more of the heavier and useless things.
Speaking of heavy and useless, Snips and Snails will not help the colt and filly sections of the war once it occurs. I hope some sort of adventure comes up soon. I am positively dying from all of this war stress.

I would've done more on the episode, but considering how much I despise the episode, I said, "Screw it", and then just made the chapter mostly around Rarity and war. Besides, if I had went more into the episode, I could've made best pony seem even more out of character than before.
My dearest diary;
You would not believe the thrill ride Lady Rarity has went through today. I was making a few dresses to send to Manehatten, when I suddenly had Pinkie Pie burst into my store, yelling at me that Twilight was getting her, and Rainbow Dash to get Applejack and I, though I haven't the slightest idea why Twilight didn't send Fluttershy.
We all met in one setting: Twilight's Library. We discussed an unnatural series of events: a dragon's smoke spreading through Ponyville. Applejack questioned why this was happening to which Twilight responded that, according to Princess Celestia, the dragon was sleeping.
Pinkie Pie obviously tried scaring us by saying that the dragon doesn't sound healthy. Pinkie Pie obviously has some connection to that dragon if she knows that he's unhealthy. To scare her, and Applejack, I said that the dragon could be breathing fire! Needless to say I gave the earth ponies quite the shock.
I asked what can we even do about it. Rainbow Dash's idea was to attack the dragon full blast. Clever idea, Rainbow Dash.
Twilight informed us that if we don't reason with the dragon in time, Equestria will be shrouded in smoke for a hundred years. I made a quick joke about beauty sleep. I made quite the uproar in laughs.
Rainbow Dash encouraged us to face the dragon. Nice one, Rainbow Dash. When the unicorn-pegasus resistance begins, I just may make you second-in-command.
So, we all prepared for our upcoming dragon pursuit. I picked out a hat that I found during the Royal Guard and Nightmare Moon fight, but I looked a bit, earth pony-ish, so I decided to be more stylish. Just because it's a battle doesn't mean utter fashion cannot be involved. I also did make the right safety precautions and brought a stylish, yet protective scarf.
Once we rendezvoused outside Twilight's library, she talked to us very seriously, and informed us about how she's mapping out the fastest route, and wants to make it up the mountain by nightfall. She also told us that the dragon is at the very top. Maybe should make Twilight second-in-command.
Applejack seemed frightened about the mountain, saying to us that it seems cold, obviously trying to strike fear in us. Thankfully, Rainbow Dash struck fear back in Applejack by saying that it gets colder the higher you go. But then I said about how I brought a scarf with myself. Rainbow Dash was genuinely impressed.
We all waited for Twilight to tell us to charge up the mountain. I practised my lady charms. Pinkie Pie was pulling out a balloon randomly, and I used my lady charm to make her seem impressed with herself. I knew that I would come in handy on this quest.
As we ventured up the mountain, I explained that dragons have very shiny jewels, and that I could use my lady charm to convince him to give me some. Pinkie Pie did a strangely accurate impression of a dragon, convincing me more that earth ponies are working with dragons, Spike included, so I seemed slightly furious, yet I couldn't help but give a slight chuckle.
Twilight demanded that we stick to what's important. Unfortunately, Fluttershy still hadn't went up the mountain yet. Pinkie Pie did a random act of hilarity, but I felt somewhat suspicious about her after her doing THIS much antics.
Pinkie Pie encouraged Fluttershy to fly up, but it was no use. Applejack volunteered to take Fluttershy up the mountain. Don't tell me that it was out of being nice. Applejack needs all the help she can get. It won't work.
I waited patiently for the two ponies to return. I played many tic-tac-toe games with Pinkie Pie, and she unfortunately beat me in every single one. I must up my strategy now, if Pinkie Pie has this much wit too her. How is this earth pony such a genius in the first place?
Our next obstacle was a gap to leap over. Fluttershy failed this task too. I, Rainbow, and Pinkie, helped her. Pinkie Pie had compelled Fluttershy to leap over by singing "The Earth Pony Anthem". It's a song about leaping over, obviously a metaphor for Earth Ponies and their skills of being able to jump high. Interesting use of subliminal messaging, Pinkie Pie.
The big danger came once we reached an avalanche zone. Fluttershy caused it by accident, and we all ended up in danger. I was prepared for Applejack to use her evil earth pony magic, so I jumped off the nearest gap I could find. Rainbow Dash flew down by flying, and naturally, Fluttershy did also. Pinkie Pie hopped happily down, and Applejack tried getting Twilight on the earth pony side. Nice try, evil earth pony.
Pinkie Pie eagerly wanted this to happen again, giving me more suspicions. Applejack used her sinister earth pony magic to get rid of my scarf. Luckily, I brought an extra one. Sadly, I didn't have the tiara that goes with it. Rainbow Dash simply wanted me to be more serious. It seems as though I am much more petty in this rebellion than I had imagined.
We climbed over the rubble that had formed. Fluttershy caused another accident. She bumped into I, and Applejack. I apologized to Rainbow Dash in case I did anything to offend her. I want to seem strong rather than weak again. Luckily, Dash recognizes my usefulness.
After a long journey, we had finally reached the cave that the dragon was inside. Twilight had an objective for each of us to accomplish. Pinkie and I's was to distract the dragon. I hadn't the slightest clue exactly why Pinkie had a toy chicken with her. Applejack used her evil earth pony magic. I knew her rope was the color of a chicken!
But we all assumed that we wouldn't need to come to that, as Fluttershy could just talk to the dragon. Unfortunately, we learned that Fluttershy is scared of dragons. They are the most terrifying creatures to her. She just couldn't help us a bit. She may have faced a big manticore, and interacts with the only cute dragon, but she is terrified of big dragons.
Twilight tried to go in first, and talk to the dragon. I would've joined her, but the dragon was red. Red! What an awful colour. Especially for a dragon of all creatures. We stood back, and waited to see if our leader would succeed.
We listened to Twilight and peeped. I wore a scarf while peeping, just in case him and the evil earth ponies struck us. Pinkie was even waving at him. My points are fact!
Twilight failed in persuading the dragon to leave, so I tried a little "pony charm", to get those gems that I've been striving for. My valiant efforts unfortunately failed. What a shame.
Pinkie Pie tried getting the dragon to laugh, but failed. Okay, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the earth ponies aren't working with dragons. We could definitely get them on our side. But those plans I had quickly turned to dragon dust when Rainbow Dash used her forceful nature to get the dragon to leave. I know that I told her that the earth ponies are working with the dragons, and that this red dragon is evil, at least I think I might've told her that, but it's a little too late now.
The dragon fought us, and we were completely defenseless. But suddenly, Fluttershy rose up and confronted the dragon. And scared him rather, mentally. I knew Fluttershy was still on the good side. My current team members are all much more of a contribution than I had imagined.
Unfortunately, her assertiveness caused the dragon to burst into tears, and wet my mane. Applejack used her evil earth pony magic to remove my second scarf.
The dragon left, and we all made it back home. Rainbow Dash tried feeling useful, but then Pinkie Pie made her seem inferior. Very clever, evil earth pony.
Oh, and I tried confronting the dragon to help my friends. So sorry. I forgot to mention that.
My dearest diary;
Disaster after disaster has befallen me. First, a dragon's smoke nearly covered all of Ponyville,then the dragon tried to shatter us to pieces, and now, even worse, Applejack and I were held hostage by Twilight Sparkle.
Not in the sense that I suddenly fear Twilight, but she definitely has a different type of wit to her behavior.
Applejack and I entered Twilight's library because of a horrible thunderstorm. I was trying to style everything, but Applejack wanted everything earth pony-ish. We led to bickering, and for some reason, my words suddenly channeled Sweetie Belle's words. Maybe I am spending too much time with Sweetie Belle. Where did she go anyways?
Once rain started falling, Applejack ordered that I duck under a bench. But I couldn't. There was mud there. Just because it's the colour of Applejack's hat doesn't mean that it will be good.
Twilight called for both of us to take shelter in her library. Spike was away on Royal Duties, so Twilight had room for us. She, unfortunately, had the idea of the two of us having a slumber party with her. We were both trapped with Twilight because of the rain. There was no escape from Applejack's earth-ponyish ways.
Twilight had a lightningrod protecting her library, so at the very least, we were safe from harm. I proposed that Applejack wash her muddy earth pony hooves.
When I noted to Twilight about how I wouldn't think I could spend a night with Applejack, as she is a threat in the pony rebellion, Twilight ignored me and showed me a book about slumber parties. I see that Twilight is the desperate pony of the group. As useful as I think Twilight is as second-in-command, she is blossoming to be a truly strange individual.
I noticed Applejack outside, struggling to use a hose. Her possible evil earth pony magic may have spread onto the hose.
I decided to make the most out of the slumber party, and gave Twilight a makeover, by giving her a mud mask. Applejack was extremely confused about the very idea, and wasn't even happy with what I did to her.
Applejack and I came to an agreement to not ruin Twilight's slumber party. We were going to shake hooves on it, but all of a sudden, Applejack spat on her hoof before shaking it with me. I rejected shaking her hoof at that very moment, though it makes me wonder why Applejack would spread her germs onto a pony who clearly hates germs. I wonder if Applejack is sending me a message.
I and Applejack argued over which one was more friendly. Applejack made up a word called "get-alonginest", which caused me to correct her on this. I wonder if an evil earth pony merged Sweetie Belle and I together.
Twilight curled our hair. Applejack argued that she doesn't want her hair curled, to which Twilight responded by showing Applejack the book again, and proceeded to curl Applejack's hair against her will.
Once we were finished with that, we told some scary stories. Applejack mysteriously volunteered first, supporting my theory that earth ponies want to strike fear in all of us. Her story was average for the most part, but my story made Twilight, and Applejack just about tremble in their tiny Ponyville horseshoes. The subtlety was most strong with Lady Rarity.
Sadly, Twilight was so inspired by her leader, that she siad a story about The Headless Horse. I would explain what words she used to describe the story, but I would faint.
Twilght even threw in a ghost costume, and Applejack and I huddled. Her hooves felt very warm, and comforted me for some reason. But then I remembered that I was near an evil earth pony! And I let go of Applejack immediately.
Next, we made s'mores by the fire. I taught Twilight how to make s'mores the right way, but then Applejack ruined it by eating my finest gourmet creation. I told Applejack to excuse herself, and then she continued to act rudely.
We reached a game of Truth or Dare. Applejack dared me to wet my mane, and I looked horrid. I dared Applejack to dress up in a frou-frou, glittery, lacey outfit. I was cheered up. Hilarity was further reached. It was the second funniest moment of my life, the first being when Sweetie Belle tripped, and made a spring noise.
Our next slumber party activity was a pillow fight. I objected to something so crude. That is until Applejack threw a pillow at me. I couldn't stand for it. The ~~cannonballs~~ pillows were fired at Applejack, as I revealed my anger. The pillows were fired with intense pressure. My acrobatic skills, and quick reflexes surely came in handy in the ~~war~~ pillow fight. Sadly, Applejack had her earth pony powers to have the skill to have just the same amount of reflexes.
Twilight was frustrated, and put the two of us to sleep. Sadly, Applejack and I had to share a bed with each other.
We fought over the covers. I created the bed covers to be very neat. However, Applejack shown her obvious jealousy by doing things her way. Twilight woke up all of a sudden, and told us that we have ruined her first slumber party. The thunderstorm suddenly became worse, making the sound I hear whenever I hear Sweetie Belle scream.
A tree outside was shaking around. Applejack attempted to try her method of straightening the tree. But much to the dismay of the three of us, the tree came into the library. I needed to act fast. Now! I tried fixing the books that were on the ground. Applejack thought it was strange of me to be doing these small little things. I ignored her, until she apologized, both for her actions, and for starting The Earth Pony Rebellion.
She asked me to help her move the tree, and even seemed to be polite. I pleaded to not help her, as I would get icky, and ruin everything. Applejack begged to differ. She mentioned that hard work involves getting dirty, and begged me to help as she couldn't do it alone.
We mentioned to each other about how to combine forces. I would shorten the tree using my uber fashion skills, whereas Applejack would throw the leftovers out.
Our plan was a major success, but there was a downside: I became dirty. But Applejack, being as kind as she was, put cucumbers on my eyes. I hugged her in a warm embrace.
And thus, the rest of our night was much better than expected. I played fun games with Applejack, and learned that maybe there isn't some sort of secret Earth Pony Rebellion. I still don't trust Pinkie Pie though.
Twilight wanted another slumber party, but considering how secretly freaked out that we were, we declined the idea.
Out of my five pony friends, I certainly consider Applejack a, as Canterlot ponies would say, a "putain très belle jument". I finally see some likability in her. ~~I think Applejack is pretty.~~ I've felt a newfound appreciation for Applejack.

Okay. Maybe I should stop doing Rarijack now. Or maybe I shouldn't...
My dearest diary;
I've had another disastrous experience. Recently, a creature Twilight classified as a "zebra" came to our town. I thought her fashion sense was very outdated. Twilight had mysterious knowledge of this "zebra" and told me that this zebra was born with the stripes. I haven't the slightest clue how Pinkie Pie knew that the zebra's name was Zecora, as none of us bothered to talk to her. Pinkie must've used her earth pony knowledge.
We were all afraid of Zecora and her "zebra" behavior. Pinkie Pie made a song about Zecora, singing about how the zebra is an evil enchantress.Pinkie Pie's eyes mysteriously went green. I sense the subtle message about earth ponies Pinkie is making. The only ponies who haven't succumbed to evil earth pony magic is Applejack, and all of my role models, fashion designers and fashion critics. It's one of the reasons why I look up to all of those fasion experts. Oh, and one reason that I look up to Applejack. Twilight, and Applejack's sister told us to calm down.
Applejack's younger sister ventured into the forest to possibly find out more about Zecora and confront her. Applejack's delightful charm must have rubbed off on her family.
Our group of ponies chased after Apple Bloom until we got closer to her. The mysterious zebra gave us a strange riddle. I had no idea what it meant. But we all had a feeling that it was a curse.
The next morning, a troublesome occurence had befallen all of us. Twilight's horn went floppy, Applejack was suddenly tiny, Rainbow Dash, like her confidence, had no control of her flying, Fluttershy's voice started to turn more charming, Pinkie Pie spat all of her words, and worst of all, my mane was suddenly not straight. The world was ending. I knew it.
Spike gave all of us very silly names. For the love of Princess Rarity, he called me Hairity.
Rainbow Dash proposed that we confront Zecora. We all agreed, but were suddenly stopped all of a sudden by discovering that Apple Bloom and Applejack were missing. None of us had stepped, or sat on Applejack. Pinkie Pie checked my hair. I may have been to find Applejack, but I also think that it was to check to see if I had any secret weapons to defend myself against Pinkie Pie's army.
We all set off to Zecora's to search for Applejack and Apple Bloom. Along my way, I tripped over some grass. It smelled like a creature with the head of a chicken, and a body of a snake that can turn others into stone just by staring at them. I know that I'm going on a tangent, but I honestly couldn't think straight because of how I looked.
We finally reached Zecora's hut. I thought that I looked awful, but then Pinkie shown me Zecora's hut. Maybe Pinkie Pie isn't so bad if she has good taste in what's horrid and what isn't horrid.
Once we looked inside the hut, I pointed out the massive faults with it. It looked creepy. I thought I got my point across well enough.
Zecora started speaking her strange zebra language. Pinkie somehow understood it, noting that Zecora stole her song. Seeing as how Pinkie couldn't sing with her tongue as floppy as Twilight's horn, she asked Fluttershy to sing it. Fluttershy used her charming, and soothing voice to sing.
I asked Twilight if she believed our assumptions now. Twilight still thought that she was right, until she began to be under the assumption that Zecora was cooking Apple Bloom soup. I thought Twilight well. Now she knows the proper way to react to things.
We broke into Zecora's home, and asked her to uncurse us. Zecora accused us of being "jerks" and told us ot calm down, especially after we had spilled her brew.
Apple Bloom entered the hut, and told us that we were all wrong. Zecora kept giving us riddles that I couldn't understand. We learned that we stepped in a plant called "Poison Joke", a plant that poisoned us in a joking fashion.
We also learned that the creepy decor came from Zecora's native land. We learned that the cure for this trouble was to take a bubble bath. We all apologized. Unfortunately, the herb used to make the strange zebra bath in Ponyville. Nopony was welcoming our newfound zebra friend.
We all convinced the ponnies that only a few species of creatures work with earth ponies, and all had our bath. I felt beautiful, because Fluttershy's charming voice was gone, making me therefore feel even more superior than before. I have mixed feelings on Pinkie Pie getting her sense of speech back.
Anyways, I'm starting to think that maybe earth ponies aren't evil. Now all I want to know about is what native land this zebra came from. Don't worry, I'm not going to call the zebra species evil. Obviously, I am going to call the zebra species the master race in Equestria, second only to the alicorns.
Dear Diary;
For Twilight's exceptional work at our winter wrap up this year, I shall now worship her.

P.S. ALL HAIL THE SPARKLE REPUBLIC!
My dearest diary;
Sweetie Belle is finally attending school. After having a lack of education, she's finally decided to go there. It turns out that she met Apple Bloom and another filly known as Scootaloo. All of them don't have their cutie marks, so now they all go on and on about wanting one, meaning that whenever Sweetie Belle brings her friends over, I'll have practically three Sweetie Belles to deal with. At least Sweetie Belle will not be bugging moi as much. I love Sweetie Belle, I really do, but she occasionaly aggrivates moi with her constant spewing of wanting to get a cutie mark. I can finally attend to my business. Unless all three of them join me in trying to help. Sweet Celestia, I just cleaned the floorboards! But at least now that there'll be less Sweetie Belle, I can spend more time with Spike. Oh, I mean, my pony friends, of course, not just Spike. Though sometimes I wish it was just Spike.
~Rarity
Author's Note
Yes, it's another short chapter, and Fall Weather Friends will probably be pretty short too, since Rarity appears in that episode for barely five seconds. But at least after that, I have the best Rarity episode, so that will be pretty long. You can look forward to that.
My dearest diary;
Today was a valiant sport affair. Applejack and Rainbow Dash have been at each other's necks today. Hm, when I and Applejack verbally fought each other, ~~I became attracted to her.~~ I started to like her more. I'm glad the same happened to Rainbow Dash.
My favorite little dragon, Spike, got all of us together to watch Rainbow and Applejack compete in the Iron Pony competition. I immediately left after the first event. This may shock you, but I don't like brutish sport efforts. I'm more of a strategic kind of pony when it comes to ~~wars~~ battles.
Right now, I'm working on my dress for The Grand Galloping Gala, It shall take place in a few months, so I thought that I'd get some early work done. I already have a vision for my design. I'll let you know about it soon.
~Rarity
~~P.S. Rainbow Dash needs to stay away from my girl.~~
Diary Entry: 1
My dearest diary;
I am nearing my goal of attending the grand galloping gala. I had created quite the stunning dress. I could tell that Opalescence was so happy about my dress that she was speechless. She was even so much of a sweetheart as to hold the belongings for moi.
After this, Twilight and Applejack shown up. Applejack, of course, let out an uproar of happiness to see me, but Twilight took a much wiser approach and reminded Applejack that I am trying to concentrate. Twilight seems like someone I can really spend time with more than Applejack. We are both skilled in how to fight a war. That's at least what I thought.
Applejack and Twilight started to infuriate me with their non-stop, back and forth, jibber-jabber about how I'm making a dress. My friends overreact much too loudly. They should be more calmer, like moi.
It turns out that Twilight was coming to ask me to fix a button for her on her dress. I was appalled at Twilight's fashion sense, so I decided to help her by making a new dress.
Twilight declined, but after some compromise, she gave in to the temptation of help from Lady Rarity.
Knowing now that I would be working on Twilight's dress, I asked Applejack about her fashion, without Applejack bringing it up, mostly because I'm worried that a pony that ~~attractive~~ kind may not look too fashionable at a gala.
Applejack, similar to Twilight, turned down my generous offer, saying that she would wear her "work duds". I was shocked, even moreso than I was at Twilight. I told Applejack that she must wear formal attire.
Applejack continued to decline, so, with no other option, I asked her if I could spruce up her duds.
Applejack finally gave in but asked that I do not make them too high-maintenance, to which I dealt with her.
Just then, Rainbow Dash burst into my shop, noting that she was trying a new trick. All of a sudden, an idea had sprouted inside my head.
I told my three friends that I could make dresses for all of them, including Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. Twilight thought that it was an absolutely splendid idea, but Applejack~~, obviously sharing mutual feelings for me,~~ was worried that I wouldn't get my creations finished so soon. I was not fazed in the slightest, and promised Applejack that nothing would happen that would break away my absolute confidence and sheer talent.
Moi will be back to her diary in a couple of hours. My hardest work is undergoing completion.
~Rarity
Diary Entry: 2
My dearest diary;
Everything was falling into place. My dresses for my friends were finished, and I thought that they were a beautiful masterpiece.
Applejack's duds had now been upgraded to be more swankier, not to mention that the saddle on the outfit represents how tough Applejack is. The pattern of apples that seemingly and naturally fall into place on the dress represent the farming passion that Applejack has.
Twilight Sparkle has always told me about some iconic magicians, such as one known as Star Swirl the Bearded, so I designed Twilight's dress to fit into the occupation of "Iconic Magician". There is a cape on her outfit, along with a star pattern. I mentioned to Twilight that each dress reperesents each ponies pashion, and the stars that I put on were very accurate with night sky, because of the sparkle that the horn of my friend makes.
The gladiator times in Equestria were dark ages indeed. My dress for Rainbow Dash symbolised these times. Her necklace was of a couple of berries representing how pony gladiators ate. Her cape was something more suited for flying, as some pony gladiators aerial attacked their opponents. I had faschia strapped to the legs of the model for Rainbow Dash. These were, back in pony gladiator times, used for hoof padding.
Pinkie Pie's was a dress that I just made off the top of my head. After all, that's how my good friend Pinkie Pie is. The dress was mostly candy related. To be perfectly honest, I'm surprised that a candymaker, and hyperactive pony like herself has not caught diabetes yet. But then again, I'm talking about the same pony who can play ten instruments at the same time.
And then there was my personal favorite: Fluttershy's. Her's was another dress that I quite admired. Fluttershy keeps to herself in nature and animals, so I designed my outfit to be very suggestive towards Fluttershy's lifestyle. I described to her that her lovely outfit just sings spring. I made thorn legstraps. They were papier-mâche of course. I stuck flowers onto the cape of her dress to symbolise how Fluttershy runs with the winds of nature and its luscious beauty. On the neck of the model was a handcrafted butterfly, symbolising how animals are always by Fluttershy's side. And to be quite frank, while working on Fluttershy's dress, I imagined how it would fit in with her daily routine. I also imagined how beautiful Fluttershy would look as she runs through a forest but in a calm manner, as her songbirds stay close by her side. Applejack may be the most attractive of my pony friends, but Fluttershy looks the most beautiful. I don't know what is coming over me lately. It must be the fact that the gala is coming up soon.
But, after all of my precision and hard work, none of my friends liked my outfit. Fluttershy described them as "nice", making me suspicious of Fluttershy. I barely know anything about her. What does that pony hide? Rainbow Dash was entirely blunt with her answer towards me, saying that it was not cool enough. I thought out of all of my friends, Rainbow would know of the violent pony times. Applejack, Twilight, and Pinkie were the only friends who spared my feelings. But nevertheless, I knew they hated my dresses. I wonder if my friends are acting two-faced. All of my friends are as I would say, "chiennes critiquant." Pardon my royal tongue.
Alas, I am now stuck redoing dresses. I'll write back as to what happened next.

Diary Entry: 3
My dearest diary;
This work is getting more stressful as time goes on. I had a private talk with Fluttershy to see what she thought of the dress. I could tell that she was hiding something so I forced her tospill the beans. She thought that the armscye was tight, the middy collar didn't go with the shawl lapel, the hems were clearly machine-stitched, the pleats were uneven, the fabric looked like toile, she thought I used a backstitch here when she thought it called for a topstitch or maybe a traditional blanket stitch, and she thought the overdesign is reminiscent of prêt-à-porter and not true French haute couture.
I was speechless. Fluttershy seems so interesting to me now. Funnily enough, I had told Fluttershy a few tips on fashion, and it didn't look like she was listening, but she really did. What is happening with my friends and I? First Spike, now Applejack, and now Fluttershy. It must be gala fever. It has to be... I hope.
Anyways, I tried getting some private work with my four other friends after my mishap with Fluttershy. In my eyes, Twilight's conceptual idea was too fantasy related rather than fashion related, Pinkie's dress was too over-the-top for my liking, Applejack acted much too technical, and Rainbow Dash barely gave me any requests, leaving me to just make her dress just as insane as Pinkie Pie's.
It's hard to work against my own perception and judgement. But I did it. The dresses are completely ugly and horrific. But it can't get any worse, right?

I spoke too soon. Everything is getting worse. My friends at least loved my worst work, but all of a sudden, Spike rushed in, informing us about how one of my fashion idols wanted to see my work. His name: Hoity Toity, a professional earth pony judge. I may have had my doubts about earth ponies until I befriended Applejack a little more, but Hoity Toity was an exception to this. He had... FASHION POWERS!
But unfortunately, he wanted to see my unprofessional and horrible work. I appreciate that darling Spike in getting Hoity Toity to see my work, plus he seemed to be out of breath meaning he probably went to the effort of looking for Hoity Toity, but I have to hold a fashion show now. This entire dilemma is spanning across multiple diary entries I have written. I just want the pain to end.

My dearest diary;
My life is utterly and completely ruined. How could this have happened to moi. I don't even deserve to use the royal tongue. My fashion career is over.
As I suspected, my fashion show was a trainwreck. Hoity Toity despised my dresses and didn't contribute to my business at all. I can never show my face in the world of fashion ever again. I plan to simply run away with Opal, and my diary. If I need supplement for my stomach, I shall simply eat the hay I find in The Everfree Forest. I can survive there. I just need to remember what Fluttershy told me: Wild animals are ponies too. Monarchial I know, but it's still useful for my brain to gather.
Speaking of Fluttershy, I will really miss her when I run away. Her graceful spirit kept me in control while I worked. And I'll also miss Applejack, for her positive and outgoing attitude towards me. And Spike too, for his quirky personality and well crafted scales. And I'll miss the others too. I don't even care if they destroyed my business. I may have some slight resentment towards Twilight, Rainbow, and Pinkie, but Applejack, Fluttershy, and Spike are friends that I shall never forget.
My friends tried coming over to comfort me, but I couldn't face them. Not after what Twiligt, Rainbow, Pinkie, and my ~~love interests~~ friends did.
Sweetie Belle destroyed some of my equipment. I could not get mad at her. My pain had been damaging enough. I still don't now what I could pack though. My life really is over.

My dearest diary;
I have reincarted into a goddess of fashion. While rambling to myself about what to pack, Opalescence had somehow gotten stuck in a tree. I rushed to her rescue only to find Rainbow Dash had put Opal there. I bet Opal put up a good fight though. I thought her self-defense mechanisms myself. You never know when you might be thrown up into a tree.
But it turned out that they put Opal in a tree to grab my attention to show me the remade dresses they made, inspired by my work. Fluttershy, as I suspected led the others in remaking the dresses. I fooled them into thinking that I hated their remade models, before saying that I loved the dresses. They made up for everything. And I humbly thank them.
What's even better? Hoity Toity was shown the work once again and adored it. I shown my radiant face, and as I thought, he was impressed.
The second fashion show is and always will be my best work. Twilight's pose while in her dress symbolised excitement with her work along with a genuine smile.
Applejack's pose was of her kicking her front hooves while throwing an apple from a rope that Spike was holding, symbolising Applejack's strong composure.
Pinkie's pose was of a smile as she chewed on a piece of candy that Spike threw at her. Her beam symbolised how hyperactive she can get.
My effect for Rainbow Dash as of a thunder strike sound, as Rainbow Dash rushed into the scene with a cocky grin, symbolising her racing love, and arrogant and rash behavior.
And I saved the best for last. Fluttershy, in her graceful beauty stood with a casual grin, allowing each part of her outfit to be perfectly attached to her.
Hoity Toity was so impressed that he is featuring my couture in his Best of the Best Boutique in Canterlot?
I almost fainted, but now that I am a fashion goddess, I doubt that I will faint again. I did get an eye twitch though when I mentioned I have to make a dozen more by next Tuesday. Whatever adventure my friends go on next week, it looks like I won't be joining them.
On a side note, I have decided to arrange a weekly get-together with Fluttershy every Saturday, to make things even with her after she remade my dresses. Finally. A chance to spend time with my ~~lover~~ friend. So there's that at least.

My dearest diary;
Just when I thought all of my important deadlines were done, I decided to help my friends with cleaning up Twilight's library. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were nowhere to be seen, so it was just Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie, and Moi. At first, I was the smallest bit agitated my Twilight's sudden spinning eyelids as she mentioned her, as she put it, "crazy weekend of studying." I would hate to perform work that would damage my eyes. Other than that though, I was eager to help clean up the work, as restless as I was from those outfits. To my surprise though, the work was dreadful.
Twilight kept panicking about the order in which we'd put these books, Applejack wasn't tidy at all, and Pinkie was much too reckless. I personally kept things in order, but to my utter dismay, Rainbow Dash had suddenly barged in. No work that I do is ever complete. All of those deadlines were a complete disaster for my usual serenity, especially once I landed on Twilight's books, face first too. My friends made sounds to indicate their pain. I was so injured that I barely made a reaction.
What perked my interest though was Rainbow's change in atittude once she came in. First, she started out insulting my dear Fluttershy's cheering, followed by noting how she wishes we would join her in Cloudsdale for the Best Young Flier's competition, explained my Pinkie as a competition where pegasi show off their grand skill in performance. Pinkie also mentioned a skill known as a sonic rainboom, where when a pegasus pony flies so fast, they make an utmost ear-breaking explosion. I had no idea what this "Sonic Rainboom" was, but when Twilight had asked Pinkie the simple question about what one is, she replied, "You really need to get out more." Thank goodness I never noted my confusion. This was the start of it though. Knowing my friends, I would've expected Rainbow to act ignorant towards Twilight, but was shockingly as quiet as Fluttershy.
One thing that had gotten me befuddled was the moment when Applejack mentioned that Rainbow Dash pulled one off.
Firstly, Applejack must've spent too much time with Rainbow Dash to learn this story, which angers me greatly. Secondly, if Rainbow Dash pulled off the top-tier flying skill for any pegasus pony to accomplish, then that means that she is at the height of both The Wonderbolts, and the princess.
To add to this, another change in Rainbow's tone and personality was when Pinkie asked her if she'll perform the sonic rainboom again, to which Rainbow Dash hesitantly replied that she's the greatest flyer to come out of Cloudsdale. Just then however, her tone changed to the raised voice I expect from her, ordering Fluttershy to make her cheering match her skills. When Fluttershy was leaving to follow Rainbow Dash, she mentioned to us that Rainbow's failed at practising the sonic rainboom one-hundred times and has never even come close to beating it. I would've said a goodbye to Fluttershy, or at the very least, waved her off, but I was in such a perplexed state of mind that I was simply non-responsive.
With this mindset, all I could do to show my concern is through harmless poking at Twilight, unsettlingly mentioning to my friends how nervous Rainbow Dash was. None of them believed me. It was then that I mentioned that I put on enough fashion shows to recognize stage fright when I see it, which made me realize that I may have more in common with my dearest Dashie than I thought.
With my concern intact, I asked Twilight to find some sort of spell that would get us wingless ponies into Cloudsdale to cheer her on. But the longer that Twilight delayed her work, the more bitter I was getting toward her, forcing myself to slam her against books. Thankfully, Pinkie Pie had found a flight spell. Applejack shared my disbelief, asking Pinkie how she did that, to which Pinkie replied that her face knocked against it when Rainbow came in. I think otherwise. I'm still under the smallest bit of an impression that Pinkie possesses some sort of mentality that she has the ability to memorize all books.
When Twilight read through the page, she made it clear that this spell could be dangerous and hard to perform. Wanting to save my friend's dignity, I volunteered. Through rigourous magical prowess, Twilight had given myself wings.
I know I was getting these wings to comfort Rainbow Dash in her time of need, but to add to that, these wings I got were simply FABULOUS! Twilight told me that my butterfly-like wings were made up of gossamer and morning dew, meaning that I needed to be careful. I was barely half-listening though, as my admiration for these wings was very apparent.
The wings' colors were pink, yellow, and green, with bubble designs also visible, along with purple ovals on the two bottom corners, all of which were on a beautiful shade of clear crystal blue wings, which reminded myelf of Rainbow Dash's wings. My style of flying combined Rainbow Dash's speed with Fluttershy's gracefulness. My wings were so very smashing that I didn't even accept the spell that let's myself walk on clouds. "What would be the point?" I thought to myself. I had just had the feeling that my wings were enough.
When we reached Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, after I shown off my gorgeous wings, Rainbow admitted that she was the smallest bit nervous, but felt better now that we were there. It's good to know that she feels more comforted when the others and I cheer for her. ~~I love her.~~
My friends were impressed with the Cloudsdale scenery, but I was more impressed with the fact that I could now see my reflection of my wings. I had distanced myself from my friends though, and it took Rainbow Dash's voice to keep myself going once more.
On our way, some hard workers in Cloudsdale admired my wings. Now if only Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash noticed...
Once we had reached the weather factory, my recklessness caused some snowflakes to fall from atop the ceiling. Rainbow wisely thought that we should leave quick before I caused a drought. Maybe I can't stop incoming disasters that I've been noticing lately. Maybe I'm the disaster, well, on this day at least.
More stallions admired my wings, one even noting that I was "choice" as he put it, and not a "dork." I wasn't familar with this slang, but if I managed to spend more time with these nice fellows, I may have learned their strange selection of words.
Rainbow Dash's stage fright seemed to be more revealing as time passed, and in retrospect, I wished I had shown more empathy towards her. But I'll discuss that later.
At the cloud factory, crowds of ponies gathered to watch in awe at my beautiful wings. I don't appreciate my own vanity too much, and I wish I hadn't stole Rainbow's spotlight, but after putting on that fashion show for Hoity Toity, and after working on those dresses, I still felt like the limelight is my only sensible option.
Twilight confronted me about my problems, and asked me to put my wings away. I shunned her out, boasting about my perfection. As I write this diary entry, I feel more ashamed of my actions, and the severeness of them don't stop there. In fact, I was so caught up in the attention I was receiving, that I had almost lost my balance, laughing in an even more surreal tone than Pinkie PIe, as if I was some sort of diabolical pony.
Once the group of addicted ponies asked me to perform at the competition, I felt inspired by them to do so, as I gracefully flew off, being followed by them all.
I barely even conversed with them. The only times I ever listened to their sentences was when they either said the words "Rarity" or "Wings."
After a couple of hours, the competition had begun, and I had spent an increasingly long period of time getting changed... and it was worth it.
To add to my already fabulous wings, I wore four fake feathers behind my real ones, to show off how my flying skills would double that of any other pony. As a bonus, I put a fake feather atop my hair to show that my flying abilities were shown in every part of myself. I wore a bow to go inside my horn, so as to symbolize how my flying was so graceful, it seemed "magical." I wore pink earrings to match the color of the shade of pink on my wings, along with a scarf to match my hair color, and best of all, pink hoofshoes to show my hard workat my craft of flying that day.
Rainbow Dash and I both entered the stage together. My entrance started out upbeat and exuberant, but in a subtle way by myself, was the only hyperactive moment of my performance. The rock and roll music that I can tell Rainbow Dash is fond of was changed by myself to more peaceful music, to match with my performance. I started off by practically walking on air, to show that my dancing was similar to my usual. To keep the crowd motivated though, I made sudden twists to keep their interest, like my quick spin.
My grand finale was to spread my wings, and aim myself to the sun, to show my brightness, both in performance and personality... and this was my humiliating downfall.
Forgetting that my wings were easy to melt, I had lost the ability to fly, and I made a narrow and quick fall to the ground. I was expecting to be done for, never to be seen again. I was so frightened that I had to smack the Wonderbolts, not because of any dislike, but after my unpredictable failure of a performance, I was defending myself at all costs from anyone who got close... except for Rainbow Dash.
Risking her life, Rainbow Dash valiantly swooped down to save the lives of myself and the stunned Wonderbolts. At first, I thought I would have to uncontrollably smack Rainbow Dash too, but then I witnessed her speed outmatching any other pegasus. She did it. She performed the sonic rainboom, and saved my life.
Part of me wished that that fall occured though. I had never been more apologetic. Not only did I lose my amazing wings, but worse, I nearly lost my friend and my life. I'm lucky to have friends who can forgive me.
But I misjudged Rainbow Dash. I partly believed that her and I would barely ever see eye-to-eye on certain things. I hope to spend more time with her. Who needs a royal prince to save you when you know a lovable pony like her. She deserved to meet her idols and spend an entire day with them.
My only shortcoming that i'll never get over now though is my utter humiliation and embarassment in Cloudsdale. Luckily, I doubt anypony will ever bring it up again. If they bring up that day, they'll probably just remember Rainbow Dash's performance... hopefully.

Author's Note
If you haven't read my blog on my fic schedule, I would suggest reading it.
Here's the gist. The chapter on Stare Master will come out later today, and I'll do a diary entry once every day so I can catch up with Season 4. For more information check the blog post listed above.
I hope you enjoyed this delayed chapter. I had actually tried writing it a few months ago, but forgetting to save changes was a pain, and I just wasn't in the mood to write this chapter for a while. It turned out longer than expected. Don't expect the next two chapters to be very long though. I'll make a comeback with A Dog and Pony Show though
My dearest diary;
I started the day off with general ambivalence this morning, when who should arrive but Sapphire Shores. My voice got close to breaking from my shock at seeing one of my idols. She told me that the popular Clothes Horse magazine raved about me. I don't normally overwhelm myself around famous celebrities. I prefer to hide this side of myself, but after Hoity Toity spread my word, I feel like I should show this different side of myself more.
Trying to hold in my elation, I shown Sapphire one of my mot prized possessions. I designed a mannequin using every jewel in my collection. It brings about a colorful and cheery side to anypony who wears it.
But as much as I respect and admire Sapphire Shores, my ambivalence I mentioned earlier boiled down to the fact that she was making me design five more dresses, each done in a different jewel. It was Hoity Toity's preference too.
In reaction, I fainted embarassingly, looking quite dumbfounded around my idol.
With no other option, I went to Twilight's library to ask for help from Spike. I'm fully aware of his addiction to gems. We share a fond love of them. Twilight let Spike take a break from his studies when he eagerly wanted to assist me. When asked what I was up to, I explained Twilight that I was searching outside of Ponyville to search for gems using one of the few spells I know how to do. Eager to learn new spells as always, Twilight wanted to learn how to perfect the spell. I briefly helped her and was on my way with Spike. I made it clear to him that I would give a few of the gems to him in return. He stared at me for an awfully long period of time which was starting to confuse me. In fact, the adorable little guy always does those odd stares at me.
When we were walking out of Twilight's library, there was an odd long period of time where Spike wasn't even talking to me. Not until we got outside of Ponyville, where he brought up Sapphire Shores. I gave him a small glare when he called her beautiful though. He seemed to console me, calling me "ten times as beautiful" as he put it. I don't know whether he means that or not.
What I did know that he meant was when he asked if I was jealous, to which I uttered that I'm not. Why should I be jealous that Spike, a cute little dragon with nice-looking scales and a great ability to brighten others attitudes, thinks of me as less beautiful than Sapphire Shores?
He also asked if I flipped out. I had no choice but to lie. Falling from the sky was embarassment enough for me.
When we searched for gems, Spike held in his urge to gobble those gems up, but held himself in thanks to moi. His resourcefulness is a skill of his that I commend substantially. He used his tail like a shovel, like a digger, and dug with his sharp claws like a dog.
In return, after patting him on the head in thanks of his patience, I rewarded him with an oval shaped sapphire. I was still in confusion over his long stare at me, but I patiently asked him if anything was wrong, but he replied that his reward was perfect.
My horn got another tingling sensation, sensing more gems undeground. I asked him what was taking him so long, giving him a hint to be even more kind to me, because I'll always love his affection.
After digging up more gems though, my horn lit up brighter than usual for a gem. And in a shocking revelation, a diamond dog popped out. I was never familar with this breed of dog. I was tense towards him, nervously chatting with him about gems.
Suddenly however, two more diamond dogs popped out, looking even more brutish and rotten than the first one. I screamed fearfully, but just then, Spike, despite his small height, shown his own in battle against these savage beasts. He ordered that I run back to Ponyville, but wanting to return the favor back to him for saving my life by waiting for him, I was suddenly captured by one of the ruffians, his sharp paws grabbing me. I was kidnapped by these strangers, and worst of all, I touched DIRT. Filthy and ugly dirt.
Underground with the dogs, I ran through their entire chamber, hoping to find some sort of escape route. That is until I was eventually cornered by them. I couldn't possibly imagine what they were planning to do to me, so I assumed the worst. Fortunately, their demands started pretty minor. All they asked of me was that I find gems for them. Even if these dirty dogs have fillynapped me, as long as I went through with their demands, I would be set free, correct? Incorrect...
The demand skyrocked immediately once I found the first batch of gems though. They asked that I dig... with my hooves... with no assistance. Oh, why oh why?!
I didn't know what to do in this unfortunate situation, leaving me with only one option left: lady-like charms. These dogs were foolish enough to believe that a fabulous pony like myself would fit the bill for a work horse. To add to that fact, the only way they would know that I can locate gems is by spying on me, and they would've clearly have seen that Spike was digging for me. I had to grate on their nerves even more than they were on mine. I shown everything I wasn't good for, and flailed my hoof at the ground nervously, to which the dogs "barked" at how I was doing things wrong. I got that cheap pun from those crass fellows.
When asked why I wasn't digging enough to fit their sky-high standards, I replied that this is my style of digging.
Impatient with this slow pace, the dogs ordered a few of their henchmen to dig for me. I smirked in reaction to their roughness, knowing full well that my ingenious plan was working to its full potential.
Digging holes wasn't the hardest part of my endurance though. Two of the leaders ordered that I haul a wagon. That was bad enough, but these dogs have never even been manicured. Those dirty, long nails were scratching up my coat, and I had no choice but to give them proper advice on how to keep themselves clean. Impatient with my valid advice, another mutt asked that I be quiet, but then I caught a whiff of his horrible, icky breath.
Reluctantly, I hauled the wagon and searched for gems that would never be put to good use. While showing off my skill, I complained even more openly at this grimy dogs, their smell reeking through the entire cave.
One dog asked that I be quiet, and I was getting rather tired of him referring to me as "pony." If I was to ever get captured by complete strangers, I would want to be referred to as "Miss" or "Rarity" or better yet "Miss Rarity." I mentioned all of my frustrations to these cretins, and then they demanded that I stopped "whining", which misuses the definition of the word, as I was not whining. I was complaining.
Complaining means to express your annoyance in an open way, whereas whining means to cry in a loud, high-pitched tone. And whining is exactly what I did in retaliation. If Twilight had been there, she would've "flipped out", as Spike called it.
The dogs acted over-dramatic like a bunch of drama queens, requesting that I stop my whining at once. And through my charm, I managed to get held on a pedestal, getting waved by fans, and drinking pure water, which is hardly my tastes, as I much prefer sparkling water.
Out of the blue though, the dogs spilled my drink and tightened my harness. Thinking fast, I whined as loud and high-pitched as I could. Unfortunately, one of the dogs who took captive of me said that I can make the awful noises as much as I want, and I still had to give in to their every whim. And then he smacked me and called me a mule...
I had no other option. Whining wasn't going to work, so crying was the next option. I have no disrespect towards mules. I just had to think of something. I cried so loud that I was expecting some kind of echo. I cried for a long period of time, and since these dogs were so over-dramatic, I was assuming they would start wailing in fake tears just like I was.
Better yet though, I finally met up with all my friends, who were coming to rescue me. Spike embraced me with a lovable hug and I greeted the rest of them. We hurried to collect all the gems I needed for Sapphire Shores, and I let Spike have a few, until he started hoarding a few of them at once. I teased him about his dragon addiction problems. I always love teasing little Spike. He was surprisingly noble and decent at holding his own in battle. If supporters of Nightmare Moon ever rise to take over Equestria, Spike will most certainly be my right hand assistant. It was also fun to tease those half-witted dogs. I don't know if I'm ready for more fashion designers to enter Carousel Boutique. I could barely contain myself around Sapphire Shores, but I need my business to grow. If another designer does come along to ask me to expand my business and they're a mare, they should most certainly never get Spike on their good side. When is the gala coming. I feel like I'm romanticizing a tad too much at this point.

My dearest diary;
You may have noticed that three entries prior to this was a short entry about how Fluttershy actually managed to take care of Sweetie Belle and her friends.
I was in such a bad mood with Opalescence that I didn't want to write too much that time, but now I can. Ever since Fluttershy did that huge favour, I've wanted to do my best to repay her, but I didn't know how to, but then it hit me. Ever since that incident, I've wanted to learn more about Fluttershy, so as to figure out how she handled my sister. Fluttershy was surprisingly fine with me getting to know her more.
From the time that I've spent with her, I've learned that she got her cutie mark from tending to animals, and her favorite flavor of ice cream is butterscotch. I led conversations much more...
This week though was different. While on my way to the spa to meet up with Fluttershy, who should stop me but Photo Finish, the third latest fashion critic that I came face to face with. Her attitude, her glamour, her chic, that sophistication. Unlike my encounter with Sapphire Shores where I screamed in complete delight, I was instead speechless the moment I saw her. The only times I spoke was when I was asked questions.
What personally shocked me is that Photo Finish didn't even know who I was. She musn't be too associated with other critics like Hoity Toity or Sapphire Shores. She wanted to check on my designs at my store, simply because she was impressed by my hat. I kept on with small talk but after Photo Finish arranged a time of tomorrow morning and was off, I could finally let myself out and screamed joyfully, and trotted off to Fluttershy to make up for lost time.
Even when I retold this story to Fluttershy, there was long pauses in between what I said to her. Even around one of my most quietest friends, I still retained this level of speechlessness. Fluttershy didn't mind though. Bless her heart, and that's exactly where my convincing came from.
I can't show off my modelling to a pony like Photo Finish. I'll topple over the stage and faint. With Fluttershy's poise, grace, and beauty, she'd make the perfect model, just the same as how Applejack would make a good homemade weapons builder, Rainbow Dash would make a good aerial spier, and Spike would make a great dragon shield.
Knowing how important this was to me, Fluttershy agreed to model for me. Can you imagine a pony like me modelling? After we left, I already had a noticeable pimple.
So we had to set up quick. I ordered, Fluttershy modelled, Pinkie Pie helped accessorize, Spike helped accessorize and still has that odd staring problem, and Twilight... was just kind of there.
My plans to accessorize Fluttershy were very complicated though. I asked Spike and Pinkie Pie to decorate Fluttershy in different fashions but no ideas were fitting Fluttershy's infinite beauty.
But I had no time after that. Photo Finish, out of the blue, had arrived. I wanted to make up for lost conversation by striding up to her and attempted to start to converse, but I was shut off by Photo Finish strutting past me like some sort of drama queen.
Photo Finish wanted Fluttershy to perform her modelling and show some moves. Little did Photo Finish know that I was making fluid hand gestures for Fluttershy to follow through it. First, I shown her the "Portrait Smile" pose, but Fluttershy instead did the "Raised Spirit" pose. That was the wrong move for Photo Finish, so to get my style back in sync with Fluttershy, I shown her the "Fashion Muscles" pose, and Fluttershy managed to do the same, but my ideas didn't work for Photo Finish, as she was more impressed by Fluttershy's frown. Maybe if Fluttershy started raising her voice, it would give her a more suitable super strength pose.
To add to this sad fact, Photo Finish barely took any photos of Fluttershy. But then Photo Finish surprisingly sped back, and mentioned that she had found the biggest fashion star in Ponyville. I assumed she meant me, but the next day when I made it to the park to meet up with her, she wanted Fluttershy... Fluttershy!
Now I'll level with Photo Finish. Fluttershy, combined with her poses, beauty, and general likability, would make the perfect model, but when I put work into something without getting any credit, that's starting to tick me off.
I don't think Photo Finish even appreciates any piece of work I put out, classifying my design for Fluttershy as "not simple enough," wanting something inspired by the nature.
My friend would be living my dream. But with all the potential that I see in a pony like Fluttershy, I think she'll always need someting like this. With that said and done, I encouraged Fluttershy to live my dream.
I also don't understand Photo Finish's fashion sense. As I made my way away from the scene, Photo Finish even remarked that Fluttershy's nature look was better than her sparkle look, but I firmly disagree. Fluttershy's nature outfit, combined with sparkles as accessories, fit in with the theme of her "shining."
Back when I had a bias against earth ponies, I thought of fashion critics like Hoity Toity, Sapphire Shores, and Photo Finish as exceptions. But Photo Finish now just seems mediocre with her fashion sense.
All I had left to do was mope home, and shun myself away from the crowd of ponies. Now don't think for a moment that I would mope for a long period of time. In fact, as Fluttershy's stardom began to rise, I even tried following her and Photo Finish to get a close view, even wearing a fine hat creation, with flowers describing "nature."
My jealousy was starting to get worse though. Two of the four loves of my life, were even advertising Fluttershy. Plus, Fluttershy's fame rose within a week, before our usual spa time.
While hiding my jealousy in conversation with Fluttershy, she was suddenly dragged out of Carousel Boutique, closely followed by the town drunk and the pony with inconsistent larynx entering my store... and they didn't even recognize me. To make matters worse, Fluttershy didn't show up to my spa meet-up.
My hooves were getting flaky, and conveniently Twilight had shown up to the spa with Pinkie Pie. I asked Twilight to promise to keep a secret, that being that I'm jealous of Fluttershy. With Twilight keeping my check, I know I can count on her. In fact, ever since I met her, she's held our whole six friends together. She assisted in leading us to Nightmare Moon, kept us under control when were fighting over a ticket, led our group to the cave of that gigantic dragon, kept Applejack and I under control at her slumber party, told us not to be intolerant towards Zecora, led our battle party against parasprites, and organized the whole town for winter wrap up. She managed to keep my secret, and later on kept one from Fluttershy. But I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm starting to love Twilight too. All hail the almighty sparkle! Let her be destroyed and resurrected once more. I bet Rainbow Dash ten bits that would happen. It will be stupendous!
Back on topic though, hiding my jealousy, I ignored Fluttershy's fame, and dressed myself up in glamour and head out into the town. It was redundant...
When I head into town, I was barely subtle in the slightest about my fabulousness. It was all my fault. I went to a sofa and quill store. I bought 30 quills, and I must confess that I originally was going to write a diary entry about how jealous I was. It was going to be worth 10 pages. But guilt is not my problem. Exaggerated jealousy and over-dramatic behavior is..
With a straight whole day of no customers in the slightest, I reluctantly decided that all I could really do was see what all the fuss was about. But the moment I stepped into that building, I witnessed a poorly done performance by Fluttershy, with her making more dog barks than I was. But my sympathy was thoroughly expressed. While the whole crowd bickered and booed, I cheered Fluttershy on. In retrospective, I guess I shouldn't have done that.
Backstage, I entered where Twilight and Fluttershy were. I tried revealing my secret, but then Twilight did this weird gesture wherein she sshoved her hooves in her mouth. She must be getting that wide eye attitude from Spike.
I trevealed to Fluttershy how jealous I was, mentioning that I originally wanted Fluttershy's fame to end, but after witnessing the boos, I cheered her on. And then Twilight stuck her head in a small tree. I still don't really know why she did that. It's not like trees play an important part in anything. If they do, I'm just going to assume Twilight's our savior who can tell the future.
But in a shocking turn of events, Fluttershy said how she was suffering from stage fright in the spotlight, not wanting to do modelling, which tied everything up. We finally made up with each other, and performed Pinkie Pie's well known promise ritual that I once thought was the earth pony national anthem.
And then we rubbed our friendship in Photo Finish's face. It was, as the youngster's would put it, "cool."

My dearest diary;
Applejack was going on an excursion to Appleloosa, the location of her cousin, Braeburn. She went on this long train trip simply to deliver a tree, and because the task of getting a tree in and out of a train is so excruciating, the others and I joined Applejack on this private train to Appleloosa.
The train seemed to mess with some of our heads though. For instance, Applejack, a pony who I once thought had a functioning mind, was reading a bedtime story to the tree, commonly referred to as Bloomberg.
I remarked at how this just wouldn't do. I'd be cramped with Twilight, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Spike all in the one train carriage. How could I get proper beauty sleep? Applejack even sunk so low in sanity that she talked to the tree as if it was a baby. How could Applejack commit the crime of not treating me like a baby?! Unacceptable conditions.
I tried to get all the sleep I could for the evening. I knew the rambling of my friends would alert my attention, and I was right. All of my friends but Applejack and Spike were talking complete nonsense about things such as "Hey, Spike, be cool and get us some popcorn?" or "Oh man, we're going fast." Or worst of all, an unfunny joke said that we were too crowded that "three's a crowd." I can't even remember which of my friends said any of these things. Everything said was just so painfully unbearable.
But things only reached critical levels of pain when my friends finally figured out that they should "get some shut eye." But only a few seconds later, I could hear Rainbow asking Pinkie if she was asleep yet, followed by Rainbow asking if we'll have to carry that "heavy tree" off the train, to which Pinkie replied, "Who, Bloomberg?" To which Rainbow Dash answered, "No, Fluttershy." This lead to Pinkie not understanding Rainbow's sarcasm, putting her under the notion that Fluttershy was a tree, along with Twilight now thinking Rainbow Dash was serious. It was only going to get more hard to hear when Fluttershy mentioned how she wanted to be a tree.
I tried holding in my frustration, but the point is that I WAS RIGHT! Twilight put her head into a tree only a week ago for no explainable reason. The signs are pointing in the right direction. Now all Twilight will need is a battle-axe and a resurrection. But even ignoring that glorious fact, I had enough of my friend's bantering, and had to firmly request that I all be quiet. Being in love in all of my friends besides Pinkie is something that maybe I should regret if they're going to make noise like that. I'm having trouble being attracted to Pinkie because I can't have much meaningful conversation with her, and the same might turn out for the rest of my friends. I did have to yell at them unfabulously after all.
The next morning started out with buffalo running alongside our. I just loved their accessories though. They each had feather accessories to symbolise their flying bravery. But things only reached their downfall when the buffalo rammed brutally against our train, and at one point, one of the smaller buffalo jumped atop the train. Rainbow Dash confidently followed in pursuit of a young calf.
We lost sight of Rainbow Dash, and to add to that, the buffalo took hostage of the Celestia spawn tree and Spike.
All of us panicked as we reached our destination. We were so focusing on screaming in terror, that we barely noticed Pinkie leave the train and abandon us. We hastily hurried out, and were met with open hooves by Applejack's cousin, Braeburn. He happily shown us around his quiet little mountain town. We even came face-to-face with a saltoholic.
Braeburn also shown us the "most wonderful sight in Aaaaapleloosa!" Their apple trees. We had to interrupt Braeburn on his jolly old speeches by bringing up the buffalo issue, and most importantly of all, Spike's dragonnapping, which I so kindly took the honour of pointing out.
But what was most important to Braeburn though was when I brought up the buffalo's conflict with Appleloosa. Apparently, the buffalo need the apple trees, and are trying to take them all.
In preparation for our adventure in saving our friends and the tree, we got our bags ready. I suggested that everypony grab an axe, and everypony laughed, as if they weren't even taking me seriously. What do I look like? Some over-dramatic pony who worries too much?
The preparations were getting us all stressed. Even Applejack became so rough that she helped me with by bags in a brutish manner. That's not the Applejack I truly know and love.
As we set off into wild territory, we were abruptly greeted by Spike, Rainbow, and Pinkie. We ran up to greet them. I wanted to nuzzle my head against Spike, or Rainbow Dash, but that bag tightening tired me out so much that I didn't even get a chance to greet them. It was still a welcome pleasure though.
We finally met the calf, and found out that her name was Little Strongheart. It turns out that the buffalo need the Appleloosan's land to stampede on. Rainbow Dash was siding with the buffalo, but Applejack sided with the Appleloosans. Rainbow Dash wanted the trees to be planted someplace else, but Applejack argued that there's no proper land.
Twilight was inconclusive, not knowing how to fix this problem. Luckily, Pinkie had a solution. Knowing the knowledge Pinkie had about parasprites and how to exhile them from a whole town, I had a feeling she would have the perfect solution. But to my shock, Pinkie instead performed a song on a stage with Spike playing the piano, and her dress-up was very, let's say, skimpy. In fact, when I peered over to see the horrified reactions of my friends, Rainbow Dash's wings were bulging in a strange way.
The performance was abysmal. I didn't want to hurt Pinkie's feelings, but the performance was so unforgiveable that the buffalo and Appleloosan's were still feuding with one another.
So a battle had begun. One of which I never expected to arise from this sort of situation. It was to begin at noon, and we thought that we just had to stop it. We attempted this, but to no avail. At noon, we witnessed a stand-off, but just after the time struck, Chief Thunderhooves, the leader of the buffalo, was stopped by Little Strongheart, and the battle was cancelled, until Pinkie did her odd dance, and the brutal fight occured from sheer anger.
In the midst of all the brutality, Chief Thunderhooves attempted to charge towards the sheriff of Appleloosa. But out of ~~ammo~~ pies, the Sheriff had to accept his faith... until a pie smacked Chief Thunderhooves straight in the face.
The war was won for ponykind, as Chief Thunderhooves' group not only lost, but came to an understanding after eating a small drop of apple pie. The buffalo would allow the apple orchard to stay in its place in exchange for its delicious apples. And we all learned compromise.
This was certainly an exciting experience for my friends and I. My savior, Twilight was born, I witnessed a war, and that odd saltoholic offered me a glass of salt. It tasted pudent, but it was still a great gesture. What won't be exciting is the upcoming visit from Princess Celestia. What should I wear? What should I eat? How should I address her? I miss salt...

The Cutie Mark Chronicles
My dearest diary;
I was walking outside a store after buying some new paper for future designs, when suddenly, on my way inside Carousel Boutique, Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo accidentaly crashed into me with their scooter. Sweetie Belle was openly apologetic, asking if there was anything they could do for me to forgive them, despite no kind of grudge being held. I asked that they let me try the paper on them, and I giggled to myself as I planned this funny joke. They were so focused on searching for Rainbow Dash that they weren't even listening to me, so they went through with anything.
Once paper touched Scootaloo the slightest bit, she realized where she was, and I discovered that my sister and her friends were still obsessing over their cutie marks. With them calmed down for once, I explained to them the story of how I earned my cutie mark. I already said all about it in my first entry, but if I ever had the opportunity to tell Sweetie Belle how I earned my cutie mark, I was planning to make an entry about my mark longer.
Unlike other cutie marks, I earned mine through two talents: Gem finding and fashion designing. I mentioned that the outfits I designed for my classmates in the school play were just so bland, and I felt as though my teacher simply forced herself to tell me how nice they were. When my work was in jeopardy, my horn traced me to a remote location. I eventually came face to face with a giant boulder after being missing for days on end. In fact, my father told me that while searching for me, he looked in a desert, and found an abandoned hay hat that he now casualy wears.
As unimpressed as I was with this rock, a sudden blast exploded and I was alerted to the boulder opening up with jewels inside. The sparkling gems were perfect to help my outfits shine.
My sister and her friends weren't impressed though. Scootaloo didn't like the fact that finding your cutie mark is to do with finding out who you really are. I raised a suspicious eyebrow when I was interrupted, and then raised both eyebrows when I noticed the very suspicious way Scootaloo was pushing her friends out the door.
With barley any business booming, I decided to spread the word about my cutie mark story to all of my friends. I wanted to start with Pinkie Pie, since I know the least about her, yet when I reached there, all of my other friends were there.
Twilight, to get her mind off an awkward situation she didn't want to talk about, wanted to drown her sorrows with cupcakes, Fluttershy and Applejack had no work to do, and the two of them even invited Rainbow Dash to Sugarcube Corner since Sweetie Belle and the others were looking for her.
I wanted to announce my story to the others and to get my message across, I stood behind the counter. However, before I could even begin, Sweetie Belle and her friends reached Sugarcube Corner with Pinkie Pie, looking for Rainbow Dash. Rainbow recalled her story to myself and my friends. I wanted to go first, but I'd do anything to make Rainbow Dash happy.
While defending Fluttershy against those brutish bullies that I met at the Best Young Fliers competition, Rainbow Dash had challenged them to a race, and not only did she win, but she caused the sonic rainboom that Pinkie Pie had talked about not too long ago. It turns out that that blast though is what caused the rest of us to all earn our cutie marks.
Fluttershy got her's from comforting frightended animals after hearing the explosion. When she talked about her cutie mark story to me at the spa, she never mentioned the sonic rainboom. All that she mentioned was an uncanny explosion.
Pinkie Pie was only taught to smile from the sonic rainboom's colorful patterns. Before that, she was miserable.
Applejack believed that the rainbow that pointed her home was Rainbow Dash's sonic rainboom.
My recall of my connection to the sonic rainboom was shorter than my friends. I was just so enthralled that I spoke small talk, wanting to save my spectacular story for later.
Twilight said that if it wasn't for the sonic rainboom, she wouldn't have passed her entrance exam.
We all learned that we were all best friends before we even met. We group hugged each other, and then sang a song. All we really sang was words to do with cutie marks and our destinies, but Scootaloo was covering her ears with cupcakes she stole from Twilight. I feel obliged to thank how my cutie mark turned out. And I also can forgive Rainbow Dash for what she did with Philomena to me a couple of days ago for causing this special connection. But I swear, if I ever lay an eye on that bird again, I'll sneeze on it. See how cool it is then!

Owl's Well That Ends Well
My dearest diary;
Twilight invited all of us to an upcoming meteor shower. I didn't pack any kind of outfit. My planned lunar sparkled outfit was unfortunately destroyed by Sweetie Belle. I held in my grudge towards her, but after she stole some of my belongings and now doing this, I wonder if revenge will even be necessary enough. I don't want to sink down to my sister's level. Maybe she doesn't mean what she's doing, but she needs to be taught some manners.
Even on our way, Sweetie Belle wouldn't stop obsessing over the fact that I'm connected to my friends thanks to cutie marks. It's all she talked about on our way to the park that night.
On the day that I found out that my cutie mark destiny was connected to my friends, beforehand, business was very slow at Carousel Boutique. I was so bored that I made two bowties. I wanted to give the two that night to the two most impressive of my lovely friends. After viewing Spike's usefullness, I came to a conclusion to give Spike the bowtie. Nopony else that night got even close to the accolades of Spike.
All of us fawned over Spike's sweet talking charm. Pinkie even called him Spikey-wikey. That pink pony is a genius with nicknames!
Adorable little Spikey-wikey worked himself to the bone and slept in a punch bowl. Pinkie remarked at how the punch had been "spiked," a clever inside joke about how Spike can sometimes be so juvenile that he acts like he's had too much apple cider compared to, say, Cheerilee.
The next day, Twilight asked Rainbow Dash to fetch all over us to come over to the library to marvel at Twilight's new pet owl, Owlowiscious. When I saw his feather pattern, and his vacant yet welcome expression, I gave the second bow tie to him, mostly because I worry that Sweetie Belle could destroy or steal another one of my items, not because I was impressed in anyway.
I had to leave quickly though. I had an arrangement to babysit Sweetie Belle and her friends again. I most likely would've asked Fluttershy for assistance, but she discovered that she accidentaly took all of my gala dresses, and wanted to stop by her cottage to bring the dresses back to me. I invited her over to assist me in taking care of those troublesome fillies.
But even with Fluttershy's help, the day was hectic. Sweetie Belle and her friends were really tempted to try on those dresses and play with them, and even as we restrained them, they were still curious. Curiosity killed the cat, I always say. In fact, they nearly killed Opalescence by accidentaly bumbing against a pin. Opal just hasn't been her chirpier self since then. Fluttershy volunteered to keep the crusaders in safe hooves. I still can't quite figure out how she pulled off taking care of them in the first place.
I'm glad I get to vent my frustrations out at Gummy's upcoming birthday party at Sugarcube Corner. Maybe I should drown my sorrows with the same kind of colorful cupcakes Twilight had a few days ago.
~Rarity.
My dearest diary;
I mentioned in my previous entry that Pinkie Pie would be throwing a birthday party for her pet baby alligator, Gummy. It was never confirmed directly by her though that this party would be thrown. I expected it from her though. I can still recall that day when Pinkie Pie was hopping into town with an alligator nearly trying to gobble her up. I'm practically mortified by that alligator and its strange properties. I never forgot that faithful day. Even if Pinkie didn't throw a party for her alligator, I probably still would've went to Sugarcube Corner. I grow weary of my sister.
It turns out that my predictions were correct though. A party really was going under way. We were all invited. Pinkie Pie even sang an inviting telegram to us all. When she was finished her performance for me, I wanted to present some conversation to Pinkie, but like a fiery phoenix blaze, she was off.
When we all attended the party that afternoon, I wanted to start off conversing with Fluttershy. We talked about our theories on how Pinkie's mind works. For such a small talk kind of pony, Fluttershy has an overblown proportion of thoughts in her head. She belives that as a filly, Pinkie ate tons of fatty and sugary food, and then lost weight by running around energetically, and as such, that's her daily routine.
My theory on where Pinkie's strange energy comes from is her being an earth pony. I've valued the earth ponies recently, but most of them are pretty strong and attractive, like Applejack or Big Mac. I belive that there's some magical force growing in the ground that only an experienced rock farmer like Pinkie Pie would be aware of.
Envious of Fluttershy's much more impressive theory, I drowned my sorrows with a drink of punch. My mind goes a little tipsier from there, and it can have unbelievable results. I also drank it in commemoration of Spikey-wikey, who sadly wasn't invited to the party. I was hoping the punch would be "spiked," but instead, it was... "gummied."
Pinkie Pie wasn't even fazed or effected when I spat punch all over her bright, pink face. Her chirpy grin was still noticeable. I stared at my precious Twilight, and she was just as shocked as I was. However, since I have a minor fear of Pinkie Pie's prowess, I did not want to dissapoint, and reluctantly drank the punch. That is until Pinkie Pie looked away, and I spat the punch into a tree most likely created by my savior, Twilight. It was like I was feeding Twilight life. She even stared at me with wide eyes for a long period of time.
For a couple of hours, my friends and I danced merrily. However, unlike my friends who danced very choreographically, I, after washing the punch and remaking it, took a few glasses, I danced like a flailing fool of a pony.
I have little memory of last night after the punch I consumed. All I recall is that I headbutted against the stone walls that Fluttershy and Twilight revealed, worshipped the tree I spat punch into, and I came up with the idea that the next day, all of us surprise Pinkie Pie since it would be her birthday the next day. I'm aware of the fact that once I get in a tipsy state, my speech is more slurred than it should be. I don't see why my friends would want to go through with an idea I came up with after gulping down too much punch. I even had a competition with Rainbow Dash to see who could "chug" the most punch in one sip. I won, but then passed out against the sacred tree, and I breathed in and out my nose, I took a whiff of the rotten punch.
But the pro thankfully was that we all had a plan in motion. One of my shortcomings with this plan was the fact that I told the rest of my friends that if Pinkie inevitably throws another party, we just reply "This afternoon? As in, this afternoon this afternoon?" I just don't posses the same genius as Twilight, or Fluttershy.
I was hoping Pinkie wouldn't show up to Carousel Boutique, but I took my mind off it as soon as Spike shown up to my door to help take out the trash. After the punch disaster of last night, I couldn't handle any more filth. I couldn't even understand any words Spike was saying because he smelled like a mouldy mule. I had to put it gently to him that he needs a wash. I wish I knew what he had said to me though. It probably wasn't that important I assume.
Once Spike had left my premises, Pinkie Pie unpredictably came to Carousel Boutique. Hoping she wasn't throwing another party, I changed the subject entirely by remarking at her splendid hat, calling it very modern. I had to hastily come up with an excuse as to why I couldn't show up at this After-Birthday party for Gummy, saying how I needed to wash my hair due to how dirty it was. I was inspired by Spike's filthiness. Thank you, Spike. Your filthiness leaves a lasting impression.
And with her plan in its next stage, I learned of another flaw with it. I believed that each of us should sneak around with Pinkie Pie's birthday cake. We believed that we should make Twilight get the cake from Sugarcube Corner, pass it on to me, before I pass it on to Fluttershy, followed by her passing it on to Rainbow Dash, before finally reaching Applejack at Sweet Apple Acres. My friends must've been just as tipsy as myself to go through with this plan. I got so in character that I whispered loudly at Fluttershy's ear that I would see her later. To my knowledge, no other ponies in that area of town were present, so I didn't see the point. There must've been some strange concoction in that thrash that I drowned my head in.
Admittedly though, and I'm not usually one to boast about my accolades, but my technique in carrying the cake seemed unique. My tail wrapped around it as if I was some sort of maniac, but in a good way.
After delivering the cake to Fluttershy, I was on my way back to Sweet Apple Acres to complete my portion of my mission. Just then, Fluttershy flew straight past me, telling me that she saw a scary monstrosity. All of its body just composed of a pile of hay, it wore ridiculous glasses, an unfashionable out of style cap, and a leather jacket that barely fit. I bet this hay creature wasn't even in possession of a motorbike.
Watching Fluttershy's urgency and explanation of this monster did make me scream in terror too though. Both of us rushed back to Sweet Apple Acres, attempting to take the shortest route possible. As I looked up on my way, I saw a rainbow blur fly by along with a pink blur. At first, I believed Rainbow Dash blew our cover, but then I just thought that she got a flamingo and fed it too much punch so it would have a spring in its step. I'm onto her.
The two of us reached Sweet Apple Acres, and wanted to set up the party. Suddenly however, Rainbow Dash came flying at top speed, and Pinkie Pie caught up somehow. Applejack lied to Pinkie Pie that construction was being performed. I'm admittedly not the best method actor, but we managed to pull this act off, and I don't know whether Pinkie Pie had bought it or not.
After a couple of hours of doing up Sweet Apple Acres for the party, Rainbow Dash volunteered to fetch Pinkie Pie and bring her to the party.
We wore party hats and waited in eager anticipation for our friend. To our surprise unfortunately, Pinkie Pie wasn't too thrilled with the surprise, and believed that we didn't like her anymore, lying to her and avoiding her all day. But through our explanation that we've planned this, she finally believed us. I mentioned to her that we've planned tha party for such a long time. I certainly didn't mean that literally, but instead metaphorically. The whole day was slow and worrying for all of us that it felt like days.
Luckily for us, Pinkie apologized for her attitude and had the best of times with us. I was intrigued though when Rainbow Dash mentioned how she's glad she wasn't replaced by a bag of turnips. We were confused and wondered what she meant, but Rainbow felt hesitant to tell us. My theory is that Pinkie Pie pretended we were all different edible foods. I hope I was a pear.
But watching Pinkie, and being experienced with a wide range of emotions, I knew exactly how she felt. Abandoned and lonely, with nopony to turn to. I saw stage fright in Rainbow Dash and now I see desperateness in Pinkie Pie. This vent up anger and frustration is something that I relate to when it comes to my relationship with Sweetie Belle. I now love all of my friends. I feel so ashamed. Where's Blueblood when you're in need. I wanted to dance with Spike at first, but once I saw the rest of my friends dance with each other, I joined with them. 5 is better than 1. I feel guilty though. I imagine that Spike was missing for the rest of the day because Pinkie Pie was force feeding him turnips and other digestive foods.

My dearest diary;
It's happened. After much patience, we were finally attending the Grand Galloping Gala, one of my many lifelong dreams. I know that I've written about how I love all of my friends, but I couldn't possibly have any attraction to any of them. Prince Blueblood was completely slipping my mind, but I still remained in the "true love" mindset.
In fact, while I was preparing for the gala, I was realizing how I shouldn't be attracted to Pinkie Pie, ordering her to get off the trampoline. I didn't want her to get in her dress if she was sweaty. I even worried about how late Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy would be. Maybe I was just too focused on getting to this prestigious yearly event.
Once all of my friends did show up though, we witnessed a spell Twilight had been working on for the Grand Galloping Gala. Using an apple, she transformed it into a carriage for us to be transported in. However, in a less impressive feat, she used her magic to turn Fluttershy's mouse friends into horses. Needless to say, we all held in how unimpressed we were. Thankfully, Opalescence was right outside Carousel Boutique, and pounced unexpectedly on the mice horses.
They galloped away nervously, and we never seen them again. I have to wonder what their fate exactly was. Will their transformation bring the start of uncontrollable chaos? Will these mice horses be the first species that an army of dark figures sees, giving them an impression of our civilisation? Will they gallop off to unexpected, unclosed territory that none of us ever seen the likes of? Will they locate another magical abomination? Can Twilight transform other creatures into something else? Can she make me a phoenix so that I may torment Rainbow Dash?
All of these thoughts I made were ones I thought about in our carriage ride. Before I could even contemplate all of these theories in my head, I was slightly frustrated at the fact that Twilight underestimated the possibility of us getting other horses. So, trying to throw away my previous affections on my friends, I used this type of false attraction to lure some stallions. One of them even lost an eye through shock at how beautiful he thought I was.
With only a few hours to spare, we prepared our manes, dresses, and other fashionable techniques. When Spike begged to join us, I refused, claiming that we were getting dressed, to which Applejack replied that they don't normally wear clothes. I groaned, holding in my frustration, and opened the door for Spike.
The little dragon was eager to spend the night with all of us. None of us were really certain if we could spend the night with him, to which he replied with dissapointment. I'm just relieved that none of them noticed me putting on my fake eyelashes. Nopony must know. Even in the unlikely event that someone comes across this diary and ponies learn of this secret, I may still have an excuse to act out my gracious performance.
As a joke to my friends and I on our way to the gala, Rainbow Dash remarked that we should enter the gala in a incredibly dramatic way. Ponies of all kinds followed us in, most likely pondering what was running in our minds. As I've mentioned a long time ago, Twilight is a great role model for me because she grew up in the exact town I want to be in, so both her and I knew exactly how confused and disgusted these royal ponies were.
But it wasn't drowning my spirits. My friends and I immediately seperated from each other. My eagerness and hastiness came mainly from the fact that I knew that Prince Blueblood was an important figure. I wanted to get as close to him as possible.
My insecurities were prevalent, as I resorted to talking to myself as I got closer to him, thinking about how fast or slow I should reach him. He even gave me a "Twlight savior" look, if you catch my drift.
Now, with that said, what a savior should be interested in is living things. I knew that not just my charm would attract him. What I assumed he required was viewing a pony take a whiff of a luscious rose. It would be a subtle hint that I too would have an interest in the environment and its resources. The best case scenario out of this situation would be that he would give this rose to me, as a sign that he could be passing on his wisdom to me.
The worst case scenario occured instead though. Prince Blueblood hoisted the rose and used it as an accessory for his own pleasure. I still had hopes though. After all, he said the rose went good with his eyes. And it certainly did. This being my first experience at the gala, I didn't want to lose myself in such a large palace. My best bet would be to go with the prince. If I joined any of my friends, one of my false attractions could've got the better of me.
I was at least thankful that Prince Blueblood agreed to go wherever I wanted. Putting that awkward rose moment behind, I planned to relax on a cushion near him. He stole my spot immediately at first glance unfortunately. I was on the verge of abandoning him, but then remembered how persistent I truly am. I waited for this moment my whole life to meet a royal figure like Blueblood, and I was not going to lose sight of my true goal.
With no other option, I figured that my best option would be to be as quiet as a mouse towards Blueblood, by which I mean as quiet as the currently missing mice with no known location. Keeping quiet, I sadly still suffered from talking to myself, but at that point, I could care less whether that prince heard me or not.
While thinking about whether or not I should tag along with this royal pain, he halted me at a fallen bucket. I was hinting at him to be a gent and drop his coat on the puddle, but instead he hinted at me to do that instead. He was a formidable enemy indeed. Nopony's ever managed to manipulate others using their charm as good as I. Stupid sexy Blueblood.
I was so guiltily inspired by this prince that I still had an urge to follow him around the palace. I attempted the silent treatment but his empty brain was so clogged with snootiness and sexiness, that he can't take in any kind of subtlety.
With this in mind, I had no other option but to circle in random directions until I found my closest crush, that being Applejack, who was thankfully the polar opposite of Prince Blueblood entirely. After Blueblood and I bribed each other with charm, I was reluctantly swept, and planned to pay for some apple products. I openly said my thanks to Applejack after she let me off free, keeping me covered.
Blueblood was not impressed with Applejack's goods, wanting hors d'oeuvres. If we're going to use royal words, I may as well call Blueblood a "porc royal."
I was pretty close to giving up on convincing Blueblood to coronate me as a princess, so I just went along with whatever he desired, opening another door for him, albeit in a sluggish fashion.
Unfortunately, my mind cracked the moment that a cake Applejack brought into the gala was bounced off of by Pinkie Pie, heading straight for the two of us. I lost all of my patience, not only because of his rude manners, but the fact that he used me as a pony shield. In a fight, I don't have the kind of durability to work as a shield. I either work as melee or silent combat. So to add to his rude manners, he was also not experienced with the roles a pony plays in fights.
In retaliation, I spread all of my cake droppings all over his irritating face, as he collapsed against a statue, fainting for, I assume the whole night. What a drama queen.
I was a little cheered up fortunately by Rainbow Dash managing to hold an entire statue. That's the kind of durability to be used as a shield, and with her top speed, also a fast and heavy fighter. Not even the most royal of ponies are as experienced with fighting as any of my friends. However, her buffness is not equal to Applejack, and she sadly dropped the statue.
Twilight and Princess Celestia entered the palace, and both saw our horrifying mess. None of us thought it could get worse, when suddenly, Fluttershy burst into the palace, forcing animals to love her. This made me realize how I should've used this forceful manipulation on Blueblood instead. I really was right about Fluttershy's ingenious ideas. To supplement her energy, she even considered eating a squirrel. Drastic, but tolerable.
We all fleed from the palace after Twilight gave us a whistle, and Princess Celestia gave us a nod. On my way down the stairs, I dropped my glass slipper. I felt comforted to know that Blueblood could never track me down, as I destroyed any trace of my location through destroying a glass slipper.
With no other options, we searched for Spike, and he was drowning his sorrows, though not with a cupcake, but instead with some donuts. He asked us how our "best night ever" crusade went. We all quickly went through our stories, more embarassed than the last one.
Princess Celestia unexpectedly showed up, remarking at how we actually made the gala worthwhile. We were confused by this sudden reveal by her, but after an explanation by her that the gala is always awful, and we livened things up, we all felt a little more thrilled.
So I thought to myself that I would never need true love in the end of it all. That is until Spike offered to share some donuts with me. What am I even doing with this strange life experience?

My dearest diary;
This shall be known as my first entry to you. I decided to buy this journal for the sole reason that I wanted to share my thoughts with you. My inner stress is something I don't like expressing in public, so I might as well express it in this diary.
I suppose I should introduce myself. I am Rarity, a unicorn from Ponyville. I am a professional fashionista. I'm hoping to shine all over the beautiful land of Equestria. I am generally a busy mare, always working on new outfits, or I can just try to spruce up duds that others may own.
I am also quite skilled in gem finding. My horn can trace gems from almost a mile away. I got my special talent in gem finding, you know. I was working on some outfits for fellow classmates back when I was a filly, but I just didn't think they were fabulous enough. In fact, they were so bland, and horrid, that I thought that I simply must get some new features. Unfortunately, my plans weren't as immediate as I thought. My horn suddenly got a surge, and it was transporting me to another location. I travelled for hours and hours, upon land and land. I had a feeling that it was leading to my destiny. To my surprise though, all I saw was a giant rock. Suddenly though, there was this blast from a rainbow, that managed to smash the rock into two. I noticed gems inside, and used them as a feature for my outfits. Everypony was mesmerized by them, causing me to earn my cutie mark in gem finding.
For the life of me though, I don't know where that rainbow came from.
I have a sister called Sweetie Belle. I try to be as nice as I can to her, but she is ever so rambunctious and rebellious. Whenever mother and father are at work, I am forced to take care of her (as difficult a task as that may be). The truth is, I am abysmal when it comes to caring for fillies. I appreciate Sweetie Belle's desire to help me, because she wants to get her cutie mark rather quickly, but she is extremely difficult to work with. She never watches where she's going, and never thinks before helping me. I'm glad that she's at least kinder than others. I just wish she would go to school more.
There are other ponies in this town also. For the upcoming Summer Sun Celebration, I've had to prepare the decor for it. There are other ponies who are helping with the celebration. We had a meeting recently about how to organize it. There's an earth pony called Applejack (who is organizing the food), a pegasus named Rainbow Dash (who is organizing the weather), and a shy pegasus known as Fluttershy (who is organizing the songbird choir). I found it exceedingly different to work with these three.
Applejack and I had our fair share of disagreements. I wanted the celebration to be high maintenance and up to scratch, whereas Applejack wanted everything 'traditional'. Ugh.
Then there was the pony, Rainbow Dash. She wanted everything 'cool' and 'awesome'. What ruffian words to use. Her instincts are very rough, and hot-headed. She is too hasty to work with properly.
Then there was the pony, Fluttershy. She barely let out a peep. Everytime I inputted my ideas, she couldn't even respond to what I was saying, or even what Applejack, or Rainbow was saying.
In the end though, we came to some compromise. We kept some dirt on walls to not make it too high-maintenance, and apples were on the ground. Luckily for myself, I was allowed to put up as much high-maintenance as possible to make things even. Rainbow Dash was allowed to make pegasus fly while listening to the celebration if they wanted, despite it being an indoor activity rather than an outdoor one. Fluttershy didn't mind either way about what we were doing.
One strange case of a pony that I've encountered is a party pony called Pinkie Pie. One day, while I was taking care of Sweetie Belle, she wanted to go to a bakery known as 'Sugarcube Corner'. I agreed with my sister's wishes, and we visited this bakery, so that I could get food for Sweetie Belle.
Once we entered, we were welcomed by this 'Pinkie Pie'. She was incredibly friendly, and introduced herself straight away. She even wanted to be friends with the two of us. Pinkie gave us whatever we needed. Unhealthy food eating isn't exactly my forte, so I asked for a cupcake with not much sugar. She delivered right away to us. Maybe she should organize the whole Summer Sun Celebration altogether. Maybe I may get used to these strange ponies.
In the end though, I'm rather jolly enough in Ponyville. I'd certainly rather be living the prestigious life in Canterlot, but its like my idol Fancy Pants always says: Good things come to those who work hard.

And thus, my dreams have come true: I'm writing a fanfiction about best pony
In all seriousness though, this has been something I've been thinking about for a while. Rarity has always seemed like someone who would keep her own personal journal to ~~whine~~ complain about different topics.
Plus, Ponyville Confidential helps support the fact that Rarity owns a journal.

My dearest diary;
I have exciting news for you! I was working on the decor for the Summer Sun Celebration, when suddenly, a unicorn walked into my shop. There she was, standing upright with a messy coiffure! It gave me the idea that I should generously help this pony in need. She came to check on decorations, but I refused to allow her exit until her hair was fixed. I had tried different designs. I've always thought there should be more possibilities to everything. This pony was seeming like a normal Ponyvilian, but just then, I heard her mention about her being sent from Canterlot of all places. I wanted to act envious, but I was just too enthralled from what I was hearing. I plan to be the best of friends with this one. Unfortunately, she had left before I had enough time to even try another style on her. Unfortunate too, as I am just dying to know what Canterlot is like.
That out of control party animal, Pinkie Pie, had dashed to my shop, informing me that I should come to the library in town, as she was throwing a surprise party. Considering that I was nearly finished my designs, I decided to go for some fun. After all, I could easily convince this new pony to come to my shop.
During the evening, I discovered that this pony was indeed the one with clear fashion potential. I wanted to ask her why she had trotted away from myself, but then I figured that would be a little too rude for a lady to act.
Unfortunately for this pony, she had drank hot sauce by accident. I have never exactly cared for spicy supplements such as hot sauce, for the sole reason that my face could go as red as that unicorn's. As she ran up to her room, Pinkie Pie had eaten some food with hot sauce. I fail to see how the hot sauce didn't effect her. Then again, Pinkie is a rather surreal pony.
Once the purple unicorn ran up to her room, I asked what the others what name was. Her little baby dragon friend called her "Twilight". For some reason, he was staring at me very strangely, though I can't exactly see why.
Right now, Pinkie Pie is playing Pin the Tail on the Pony. This will be a laugh. After this, we will be watching Princess Celestia raise the sun. The curtains will be raised to reveal her, courtesy of moi.
Sweetie Belle was running around as usual. I swear to Celestia, it's hard to keep that filly under control. Speaking of Celestia, I am looking forward to her visit to Ponyville on such an auspicious occasion. I never get to interact with the princess enough. If my dreams of being a fashion designer do not come true, I think my second favorite occupation in life would be to be a princess (though that would be tricky to pull off).
Anyways, I must be going. The Summer Sun Celebration is about to begin.

My dearest diary;
Today was very... interesting. I have no idea what's up with this world anymore. Where has my life went. There was these small creatures going around called parasprites. Quite strange, I know. They feed on food, and for small creatures, they sure eat a lot. Even when my dear Twilight made a spell to make them stop eating food, they just started eating objects instead. And thus, this lead to me being held hostage by them. I wish I could've met their ring leader so that I could tell him that he's done fair game.
And then Pinkie Pie came in. At first, I thought she was going to do something that would make me like her as much as Spike or Applejack, but then she just got her musical instrument. I think my assumptions about her being evil may be true. Sure, she used the instruments to save the town, but she alienated me from her own mind.
When Twilight gave us parasprites, mine began to multiply. But I could've cared less. They could do my work for me. Sweetie Belle may be helpful, but she's not helpful enough. But then when I saw how those parasprites multiplied, I almost gagged at the sight of it. It is too fetid for me to even tell you in this.
Twilight wanted the day to be perfect of course. Celestia was visiting and Twilight wanted to show how great she is. What is up with Twilight's asperger syndrome? And what's up with her OCD? Then again, those things about her would seem rather useful when planning out battle.
Rainbow Dash also acted very strange today. I wanted to get her in an outfit because Celestia was coming. It was one of my finer creations. Imagine it. A brash and tough mare stepping out in an elegant outfit. Why I think it would be very symbolic. It just speaks spirit. But due to Rainbow Dash's obvious lack of self-confidence, she didn't want to wear my splendid work. Sure, she had a brilliant plan to save the town which was ultimately ruined by Pinkie Pie, but how does she not realize the cultivated, harmonious, and sublime symbolism that my outfit holds.
Fluttershy acted very suspicious. We used tactics to get rid of the parasprites, but when we went back to Fluttershy's cottage, it turned out that Fluttershy was keeping a parasprite that multiplied. There's loving animals a lot, and then there's that. If that's the treatment Fluttershy gives to evil animals, I can only imagine how she treats her kinder animals.
Applejack was the only one acting normal of course. No surprise there.
Unfortunately, due to those parasprites, we had to clean up the town. I cut my hoof off aa piece of wood. Those parasprites are now the bane of my existence.
~Rarity
P.S. If this day was this strange, then I'm starting to question my own existence.
My dearest diary;
I heard word about Twilight suspecting something about the so-called "Pinkie sense" everypony is raving on about. I wish I could've tagged along, but these dresses for Hoity Toity were such a handful. At least my business shall get promoted. Which of my idols could I meet next? Fancy Pants? Photo Finish? Sapphire Shores? Anything could be posisble. The more popular I get though, the more stressed I shall be. You don't want to see me stressed. I start blurting out random outbursts. Like when I called Sweetie Belle a toaster while I was stressed. When I cut my hoof while making dresses, I think little Sweetie Belle may have heard me say a few words that are best for her not to hear until she is older.
I also heard that Twilight charged at a hydra when she didn't know how to escape from it. She was thinking about what Rainbow Dash would do. Hmm, Rainbow Dash does seem like a great ally. But Spike, Applejack, and Fluttershy are enough for me to deal with.

My dearest diary;
Sweetie Belle and Opalescence have been annoying me lately. Trottingham made me trot about my work too fast. Fluttershy is my new savior. I don't want to talk about my day.
~Rarity
My dearest diary;
After the horror that was those Trottingham outfits, along with Opalescence going wildly out-of-control, I got cheered up by my sister's embarassment. When Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and I congratulated her and her friends on their performance, I was trying to hold in my laughter.
I will get revenge on my sister though. She stole my fabric. Fluttershy may have tamed Sweetie Belle and her friends, but did she teach them petty theft? Did they perform petty theft? As Celestia is my witness, I will embarass my sister! My written work is glorious today. I should've been a broadway playwriter, I know she doesn't mean to harm my work, but my patience is getting tested. I'm sick of tending to this Nightmare Moon spawn of a sister, or maybe I'm just over-reacting...

My dearest diary;
This morning was hectic. I was forced to choose which of my outfits would be suitable for Princess Celestia's arrival to Ponyville. I wanted to make the best impression on the princess by showing my top glamour. I succeeded in my mission of not allowing anypony to touch the dress. To top that hard-working cleanliness, I also helped Applejack leave a good impression on the princess by telling her to eat the food in proper order. That would help her manners. I even turned down an opportunity to eat brunch and go on a date with her.
My only shortcoming at that party was Princess Celestia's pet bird, Philomena. If that bird wasn't there, I probably would've made a better impression on the princess. Everytime the bird sneezed out its wings and they nearly got on me, I almost fainted but had to keep myself in balance.
I casually walked backwards outside the door and was on my way in a hustle, so that I wouldn't fall into any mishaps on my way home. Celestia was probably impressed by my diligence, and luckily for myself, she had cut the party short.
Twilight even came to my boutique to thank me for leaving such a good impression on the princess, though there seemed to be a lazy strain in her voice, and it didn't sound like how she usually is when she means something. Most likely dry night air.
As the afternoon progressed, I put away my outfit, and met up with Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. I was trying to sway Applejack the most, partly due to the fact that Rainbow Dash kept racing Pinkie Pie and lost. So when I tried to act flirtatious towards Applejack, you wouldn't believe my unpredictable shock at when Twilight grabbed hold of me and lifted me up. Normally I'd be flattered, but I was losing my chances with Applejack from this.
Fluttershy and Twilight were after Princess Celestia's pet bird, Philomena. And when they finally did, Philomena had finally sneezed out all of her wings and fainted rather melodramatically, at least relatively speaking of course. Fluttershy was in the fits of tears, and when Celestia came back to town looking for her prized pet, and found its dusty ashes, she asked that it "Stopped fooling around." Philomena suddenly had exploded twice and transformed into a creature known as a phoenix. Rainbow Dash even made the phoenix tickle the royal guards with her feathers. We all laughed in delight at the bird's tomfoolery. Hah. Next thing you know Rainbow Dash will be pranking me by making the bird sneeze on me. Anyways, I'll have to end my entry off here. Rainbow Dash is at my door with a strange glowing orange pattern behind her.
