Once upon a time there was a small village in the land of Equestria. In this village there was a fancy-schmancy boutique that resembled a carousel, and in this boutique lived an equally fancy-schmancy and carousel like lady named Rarity.

It was summer. The birds were singing, the children were playing, everyone was out having a wonderful time. Everyone except Rarity that is. Rather than basking in the sunshine, she was cramped up in her sewing room working on her fall line-up. She knew that the leaves wouldn't start changing for over a month, but the middle of summer was often pretty slow for her. After all, most people were taking of their outfits in the heat, rather than buying new ones.

With her magic, she pulled different fabrics of all kinds of fall colors off the shelf. She was designing a seasonal party dress, something to wear while attending a formal, high-class gathering of only the most elite society has to offer. Well that or a family holiday greeting card, whichever comes first.

Some orange here, some slightly-darker orange there, all it needed now were some rubies as a final touch.

"Oh drat, did I leave my gem box downstairs?" she said to herself.

Rarity groaned at the idea of having to walk all the way down stairs just to get some rubies. It was too hot for her to want to put out any extra energy, admittedly she never wanted to put out any extra energy for anything but especially not today.

She took off her red glasses and wiped her forehead with her handkerchief. She noticed a drop of sweat on it when she put her glasses back on.

"Blast this broken air conditioner! I'm simply drenched! Well I suppose it's time I took a break anyway."

Sitting back in her desk chair, the seamstress fanned herself with her hand. And as she sat and fanned herself she thought of many things, of shoes- and ships- and sealing wax- of cabbages- and kings. Mostly though, she tried to decide how she should arrange the rubies on the dress.

"I certainly hope I have enough, I don't have time today to go and get more," she thought to herself.

Just then, she heard the door to the boutique open, accompanied by a high pitched yell.

"Hey Rarity! I'm back! Are you here?!" cried the voice from downstairs.

The fashionista sighed and made her way downstairs to greet her sister Sweetie Belle, back from a morning of crusading.

"Sweetie, you know it's quite rude to shout like that."

"In my defense, I didn't know if you were here or not," her sister responded as she sat down on the couch.

"Well anyway how did your crusading go? Did you learn anything new?"

"We caught butterflies, delivered mail, and defeated King Sombra but still nothing," said Sweetie with a groan.

"Perk up dear, when you've found your talent, your cutie mark will come," said Rarity as she walked over to her box of gems.

"Yeah, I've heard that like a million times from everyone, but we've tried everything we can think of! We tried pie eating, shoe repair, hustling at pool, balloon deflating, dictionary hiding, kissing... We're all out of ideas!"

Rarity stopped picking out rubies for a moment and looked over at her sister in confusion.

"What do you mean kissing?"

"Oh, uh, a couple weeks ago Apple Bloom called us to the clubhouse because she had a new idea to try. She said we should try tasting lip balm off each others lips, but really we were just kissing each other. She didn't have to go to all that trouble though, I think I would have kissed her if she just asked," the little uni-girl said with a blush.

Rarity froze for a moment trying to process what she had just heard. It's not that she was against what her sister had done, rather she was so surprised that Sweetie had already gotten her first kiss. She was growing up before Rarity's eyes and she hadn't even noticed.

"That's... I see, well it's not really unusual for girl's your age to experiment. Just please don't take your experimenting too far, you should wait until you're older before you move any further," said the fashionista as she returned her focus to the gem box.

"Move any further with what?"

Again Rarity had to stop and think, she was creeping into dangerous territory and needed to be very delicate with how she worded her answer.

"Well... when a person... and another person... have very strong affections for each other... they will hug and kiss a lot, and, well... They start to act just like Miss Cheerilee and Big Macintosh did when you gave them that love potion! That's it!" she said hoping that would deter any more questions from her sister. Crisis averted.

"Oh okay, I think I get what you mean, but when do they start having sex?"

Rarity dropped the gems she was holding and turned her head to face Sweetie so fast she almost injured herself. Where in the world did she learn that word?

"O-Oh S-Sweetie that's-"

"And what is sex anyway? How do you do it?"

"Well t-that's something only big people do, a-and you don't need to know about it until your older!" said a very flustered Rarity.

"But how am I supposed to not do it if I don't know what it is? What if I do it by accident?! And what do do you mean it's only for big people? Diamond Tiara says she does it all the time but she won't tell us anything about it," responded the tiny version of Rarity, who was beginning to get very annoyed at her sisters antics.

Rarity was having trouble believing she couldn't come up with a proper response to an eleven-year-old's logic. She needed a diversion until she could come up with a good response.

"Isn't Diamond Tiara that bully you are always complaining about, and there is another girl she is always with right? What was her name?"

"Oh, that's Silver Spoon. She's like Diamond's lackey and...! Hey, don't try and change the subject!"

Drat. Rarity was out of options, she would have to use the secret final technique of her bloodline. Passed down from generation to generation, it was about time for Sweetie to learn it as well.

"Oh would you look at the time I'm going to be late for my massage I'll see you later have fun!" Rarity said quickly as she dashed out the door.

The secret technique... of running away.

She was a block and a half away from her boutique before she finally stopped to rest. She was out of breath and her boobs had been bouncing all over since she wasn't wearing a sports bra. Her loafers weren't really meant for running, but at least she was wearing shoes, her dainty feet wouldn't make it all the way to the spa barefoot.

On the bright side, she finally got to spend some time outside on such a nice day, even if it was just to go spend the afternoon indoors getting rubbed down. She actually didn't need to meet up with Fluttershy for another hour, but waiting in the air conditioned spa lobby for a while was looking pretty good right now.

Author's Note

Well it's finally up, the first chapter of my next fic. I'm not sure how long it's going to be, but definitely shorter than my first. Like I said in the description, I'm not sure if there are going to be any sex scenes yet, but I think there will. I just have to figure out how to integrate them. If you've got any feedback I'd love to hear it.
