Pretty in Pink

I tap the end of my quill to the bottom of my chin as I think over one of my friends. Rarity is admittedly beautiful and definitely generous in her own right. She has always been there to supply me with clothing whenever I needed it and I couldn't thank her enough for that. So I guess it is only right to write about her next into my journal.

So I guess you want to know a little more about my friends? Well don't worry because I think I found someone you would probably like. Her name is Rarity. Without her I would probably be writing this entry naked. Let me assure you that it would still be all around embarrassing for me if that were the truth. Lets see... Well surprisingly Rarity was the 3rd pony to approach me of her own free will after my arrival. Though I quickly learned why that was.

I was currently sitting down at Sugarcube corner and was waiting for Twilight to finish showing me around town. I had just arrived a few days ago and was still trying to get use to everything about this place. There were so many things to take in. Magic, eternal goddesses, Pinkie. So many different things that made my head hurt just from thought alone.

Twilight was talking to the Cakes right now explaining to them that I was perfectly harmless. We both found out that having her approach the ponies before I do myself was always the best course of action. Most of the other times I tried to talk to another pony lead to them running away in fear. Not really a confidence boost in my book but I knew progress would be slow for me.

“So would you like to meet him?” I hear Twilight ask hopefully.

“O-Oh no dear we’re rather busy right now.” Mrs. Cake says hesitantly.

“It won't take too much time.” She pleads.

“I-um guess if it doesn't take too much time.” Mrs. Cake relents.

Twilight turns to face me with a hesitant smile. “Anon come over here and meet Mr and Mrs. Cake.”

I get up from my spot and slowly walk over. If I notice anything from my time meeting ponies is that they react to my size first. Being tall is not really helping me but that’s not really something I could change. As I come closer I can see that Mr. Cake was sweating bullets as his legs chatter away. If I wasn't too sure I would thi-... And he just passed out.

I let out a sigh as Mrs. Cake quickly goes to her husbands’ side and does her best to wake him.

“You know Twilight. I think I want to head back to the library.” I say with an exhausted tone.

“No! I swear ponies will get use to you Anon. You just have to get to know them better.”

I know she means well but I can't stand being treated like I’m a monster. I just shake my head as I start to walk towards the door.

“I’m going for a walk Twilight.” I state as I take my leave.

All I got in response was a long sad sigh from her as I gently close the door to the establishment. I shake my head some at this entire situation that I have been placed in. I haven't done anything wrong and yet these ponies treat me like I’m eating their kids as they sleep. I shake those thoughts from my mind as I just walk off into a random direction.

I don't know how long I have been walking but it feels like it has been hours. Thinking while walking seems to have that effect on people. Though when I look up I notice that the sky was filled with dark clouds. I let out a sad chuckle as the first few drops of rain fall upon my head. Honestly I welcomed it. The rain was so cold and yet soothing at the same time. I just raise my head and let it wash over me as I close my eyes.

“You must be that human Twilight told me about?” I hear a regal like voice call from below me..

I look down to see an alabaster mare in weather gear. She was looking at me curiously as I did the same.

“Rarity I presume.” I state having heard many stories about her from Twilight.

“You seem to have me at a disadvantage here darling.” She says with a smile.

“I’m Anon.” I answer returning my own smile.

“Well Anon, whatever are you doing out here in the rain?”

I shrug. “Just thinking.”

“Couldn't you have done the same at Twilight’s?” She raises a brow.

I chuckle sadly as I look around to the empty streets. “This is the only time that ponies aren't outside.”

I see her face fall some at that. “Y-Yes I heard you’re having a tough time adjusting. I’m truly sorry that the ponies here have been giving you trouble.”

The honesty in her voice was rather refreshing all on its own. I just let out another sigh.

“No need for you to be sorry Rarity.” I shiver a little as the cold settles in.

“Oh my darling you shouldn't be out here any longer!” She says with concern. “Please come with me so I can warm you up.”

I shake my head some. “No it’s fine Rarity. I can probably make it to Twilight’s.”

I feel her magic gently tug at my hand. “I won't take no for an answer.”

I let out another sigh. “Alright.” I say following her to wherever she was taking me.

I was shivering in place now as I stood in the living room of Rarity’s home. It was filled with mannequins or would that be ponnequins? Most of them sporting some form of dress fitted to them.

“Anon you simply must get out of those wet clothes.”

I can feel my face heat up some at that suggestion.

“I-I rather not Rarity.”

“But you’re soaked to the bone!” She protests.

“I would feel more comfortable if I weren't naked.” I answer her.

“Why would that be a problem exactly?” She looks confused.

I scratch the back of my head. “I-It’s a human thing.”

“Oh pish posh. Come now, disrobe for me.”

“No.”

Next thing I know I feel the cold air against my skin. I look down to my naked form and up to Rarity as she is holding my clothing in her magic. I quickly hid my boys with a red face as I turn away from her. I happen a glance back at Rarity as she looks at me with a slightly red face.

“Oh, my word I didn't know... I-Is is suppose to hang out like that?” She asks.

I can feel my temperature rise even more. “Y-Yeah.”

“I-I will make you something to wear then.”

Thankfully before she left me she magiced me a blanket to wrap around myself. I just fall onto one of her couches still in shock from what had happened. I rub my face some to try and clear those memories away. Rarity soon returns with something in her magic.

“They might be a little loose seeing as I haven't gotten your measurements yet.” I see her face glow red. “I-I assumed that getting them now would simply be more awkward.”

I take the clothes from her magic and examine them a bit. They looked and even felt just like my old pair but in a different color. A deep purple from what I could tell. I slip them on while still wearing the blanket so Rarity couldn't see anything. Once they’re on do I stand up and drop the blanket. They fit perfectly from what I could tell.

“Wow.” Is all I can say as I feel a lot warmer thanks to them.

“Not too loose?” She asks.

I shake my head. “They fit well Rarity.” I pause a bit. “Thanks.”

“No need to mention it darling. After Twilight told me about you I knew that I had to make something for you.”

I wasn't sure how to respond to that. This mare didn't even know my name and yet had already thought of making things for me? The ponies here haven't been very friendly except a choice few so this moment honestly put me into a better mood.

“You have no idea how much you made my day Rarity.” I say honestly as I sit back onto the couch.

We both kinda fall into an awkward silence as she looks hesitantly at me, then lower, then back to my face.

“M-May I ask a question?”

I let out a sigh. “Yeah.”

“Is it always that small?”

I feel a flash of anger but quickly tone it down.

“N-No!” I feel myself yell. “I-It’s just really cold out...” I stutter.

“Oh I didn't mean to insult you!” Rarity quickly says.

I could still feel some heat in me. “Oh believe me baby, my friend down there gets a whole lot bigger.”

I see her face go into a full blush from my retort. I can't help but let out a groan as well as I cover my face with my hands.

“H-How big?” I hear her ask.

“Rarity!” I groan even louder.

“Oh I’m sorry! T-That is simple uncouth of me to ask!” She turns away. “Let us never speak of this again!”

I nod. “Agreed.” It then falls back into silence. “So you had more clothes planned for me?” I try to break the silence.

She turns around beaming at me. “Why yes! Oh I have so many ideas I would like to try!” Seems she forgot pretty quickly.

“I want you to know I can't pay for any of this yet Rarity.” I don't want to take advantage of her goodwill.

She looks confused again. “Darling when did I ever say you would need to pay?”

“Well you can't just give me free stuff. Isn't your livelihood based off clothing?”

She nods. “That it is Anon but I can see when somepony really needs some help.”

Again her generosity really astounds me. “Thank you Rarity.” I feel something come to mind. “Maybe I can tell you some stuff on fashion from my world?” I offer.

I see a literal twinkle in her eye. “Really?! Y-You would be so kind to share such information?”

I nod. “Well, yeah. I’m no fashion expert but I think I know enough to maybe help inspire you.”

She seems to smile even more. “You have a deal darling!”

I didn't even notice she had come over and taken me into an embrace. I honestly froze up. This was the first time any of these ponies have ever gotten so close to me, let alone hug me. As my shock settles do I slowly wrap my arms around her. Relishing in how good it felt to hold and be held by another creature.

“Thank you Rarity.” I whisper.

“Think nothing of it.” She whispers back.

I wipe a small tear in my eye at that memory. Rarity truly is a great mare. I chuckle a bit to myself. I hear a knock on the door to my home.

“~Anon!~” I hear Rarity calling in a singsong voice. “I came by to hear how well the date went.”

“Just one moment Rarity!” I call back as I turn to my journal once more.

She is beautiful, smart and generous. No wonder Spike fell head over heels for her.
