Destinies intertwined

Rarity was sitting in her chair at her work desk, a pencil in her month. She was looking at a piece of paper with a faceless head on a piece of paper. It was supposed to be a dress, but she couldn't think of squat on what to draw.

Rarity got up and began to pace, which helped her ideas flow.

...And still nothing...

Suddenly Rarity heard a knock at the door. She rushed over and opened said door, revealing a very angst Twilight. "Twilight dear, is something wrong?"

"...No...I...Cooould I come in?"

"Of course dear." Rarity opened the door farther and let her friend in. Twilight rushed over to the couch and sat down, she rested her head on hands and exhaled.

"Um...Twilight is something wrong?"

"...I...uh...Well...I was at the castle today because Solaris called me over to help cheer Celestia up, and when I was done I ran into this-um, unicorn..." Twilight paused.

"A unicorn?"

"...A unicorn...man..."

Rarity raised her eyebrows, now she was really interested! Twilight was interested in a man! But Rarity managed to stay silent.

Twilight continued. "And I kinda felt...weird around him..."

"How weird?"

"Well, I kinda got sweaty, my stomach felt a little weird, and it was real hard to talk to him."

"Twilight? Are you saying you have a crush on someone?"

"I have a-?" Twilight raised an eyebrow with her mouth slightly open.

"Yes, dear. So..." Rarity leaned in. "What was his name?"

Twilight bit her lip. "Well...Um...I didn't learn his name..."

"YOU WHAT??!!"

"I didn't ask his name, I told you it was hard for me to talk."

"Oh...So what did he look like?"

"Well, he was yellow, and he had blue hair... and he was a unicorn..."

"What was he wearing?"

"Um...a white T-shirt with a coffee stain, tan shorts, and I think socks with sandals."

"Socks with-?!" Rarity tried to hold back the small amount of puke in her mouth but managed to recover. "So, was he a guard?"

"No, he was an astronomer."

"He sounds perfect for you." Rarity smiled.

"Really?" Twilight paused, before. "Um, Rarity, how do I, um, tell him, you know...that I...like him?"

"Well, maybe when you're up there next time, you could ask the Princess and she'd tell you...who you have a crush on..."

"Okay, I'll write a letter to her when I get home I guess."

"Twilight, if it makes you feel any better, I learned Pinkie Pie has a crush on someone, too."

"Really? Who?"

"Braeburn, it turns out she's had one since they met."

"Really? Well, she certainly kept her feelings in check a heck of a lot better than I did. I never noticed-"

"This is Pinkie, dear."

"True. So, since we're talking about it, is there anyone you're seeing?"

Rarity sighed. "Not really, I've kind of tried to stay out of the dating craze since Bluebloods."

"Oh..."

"But don't let that put you off...whoever he is... He may be extremely sweet."

"Um, okay...Thank you, I guess."

"Anything, darling."

Later...

Rarity sat on her bed, still wearing a button-up shirt and a purple skirt, but no shoes. It was seven o'clock and she still didn't have anything for the dress, and she wanted to get this done before she had to watch her little sister Sweetie Belle tomorrow. She wanted to have some time to spend with her little sister, but she also wanted to get this dress done. Rarity exhaled hard and crumpled up the paper she had been drawing on, and threw it towards her already full trash can. It bounced off the pile and fell to the floor with three others. "Ughr!"

Rarity got off the bed and grabbed the liner for her trash can, then angrily went down stairs. Rarity got to the back door and swung the door open, she used her magic to put the garbage bag in the big trash can. But as she closed the back door she heard a knock at the FRONT door. Rarity sighed angrily. "When it rains it pours."

Rarity went over to the front door and opened- OH MOTHER OF CELESTIA!!!!

Standing in the door way was one of the most handsome (black) pegasus she had ever seen!! He was wearing a jean material jacket, a yellow shirt that matched his hair, jeans and brown boots. "Um, hi. Could you tell me where a car repair shop is? My car broke down and I need to be somewhere."

"Oh, well," Rarity cleared her throat. "There's a place near the diner that fixes cars, the diner is about a mile down," Rarity stepped out and pointed to her left, "That direction."

"Oh, okay. Thanks." The pegasus smiled and was about to leave when-

"Wait! Would you like me to call the garage so they can pick up your car?"

"Uh, do you mind?"

"Not at all, in fact you can come in if you wish."

"Oh no, it's fine, I'll just wait by my car."

"Nonsense! You come in right now."

The man sighed. "Alright, if you don't mind."

Rarity smiled at him and closed the door behind him with her magic.

As Rarity began dialing the phone, she figured this may be a bit desperate, but she also knew that this might be the only chance with him, she may never see him again! And this was the only guy in, like, forever, that she had found reeeeeeeaally attractive!  Well, she there were a few eligible men in Ponyville, but not many. The only ones she would consider for a boyfriend were:

Big Macintosh, but he worked in....dirt all day....

Soarin', was nice when he was here, helping Rainbow Dash with flying, but he had fallen for Bon Bon and they were getting married.

Dr. Whooves, married. And a little preoccupied with time.

This guy was handsome, seemed real nice, and he was- was he available?

Uh...

"Hello? Wheeler's garage." The man on the phone asked.

"Hello, someone's car broke down by my house, would you be a dear and give him a tow?" Rarity asked using her sweet damsel voice.

After giving her address she learned that the tow-truck would be here in about twenty minutes.

After hanging up she went back to her guest in the living room, who was sitting on the couch. "The garage said someone would be here in about twenty minutes."

"Oh, okay. Thanks for calling 'em, I appreciate it."

"Oh, don't mention." Rarity answered as she sat down on the opposite couch. "So...Why are you in Ponyville?"

"Oh, I just moved to Canterlot and I wanted to catch up with a friend of mine."

"Oh? What's their name? I may know them."

"Oh, I doubt it, she doesn't get out much."

"Fluttershy?"

"Yeah! You know her! Wow! I didn't think she made it out much."

"Well, she didn't used to, but then we met Twilight Sparkle and she's come out of her shell."

"Oh, remind me to thank Twilight."

They talked for a while and before they knew it the tow truck arrived. "Well, guess I better get goin'." The man said.

"Yeah... I guess so..."

"Well, it was nice talking to you, Miss."

"Yes it was nice talking to you, too, Mr.?"

"Name's Starblast, what's yours?"

"I'm Rarity...Um...are you going to be in town for a while?"

"For a few days, I guess. Why?"

"Um...I was just wondering...could we, maybe eat somewhere? Together?"

"Like a date?"

"Um...Yes?"

Starblast smiled. "I'd like that."

Rarity smiled. "Well then, I'll pick you up at seven?"

"Yeah, I'm staying at the Simple 6."

"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow then." They said there good-byes and Starblast left.

After he had closed the door Rarity began jumping up and down in a very un-lady like manor. "Yes! Rarity is back in the dating world!"
