Unfamiliar Patterns
Rarity realized a long time ago that Zecora wasn't scary or threatening. But after agreeing to help the Zebra to help overcome her own guilt of avoiding her for so long, will the unicorn realize something more?
Rarity has always been the kind of pony to be generous and nice to everyone she knows; however, the unicorn has become especially kind towards Zecora, the Zebra outside of town who she shunned for so long. Not wanting the mare to keep her around just because of long-forgiven guilt, Zecora creates a special plan to help Rarity overcome her tensions for good.
However, as connections strengthen and bond between them, what else might occur?
I want to give a quick thanks to Bad_Seed_72 for her editing assistance.
