Rarity Talks to her Cat

The next day Rarity let Opal back in the house and treated her to some of the more exquisite selection of cat food made up of chalk instead of dirt. “I’m sorry that I put you outside in the cold Opal, it hurt me much more than it hurt you I assure you. It’s just that even a lady as patient as I can reach the point where I may no longer wish to be burdened with your vile words. Nevertheless, I am very glad that you are back home, safe and sound.”

The cat didn’t bother to answer. All it did was just stuff it’s face into the decorated food dish and munch itself full.

“Oh Opalescence, why do you not speak to me?” Rarity said as she flopped right onto her bed of lace and feathers. “Why do you sting me with your silence? Why must you you leave me mired in the swamp of anticipation? My pain is great, and I should not expect your forgiveness, but please say something Opal!”

Opalescence just kept eating and eating.

“If you wish to leave I wouldn’t blame you, as I have been such a horrible pony. Clearly I have mistreated you, and I do not deserve a cat as wonderful as you!” Rarity got up and went over to the window, turning off her senses briefly to fling it open. “Please, leave! Go and be free! Be with your own kind, and live without me imprisoning you like this! Just go!” She capped her sentence with a flourish.

Opalescence finished it’s delectable meal and jumped on the window seal. However, before leaving she turned to Rarity and said “Meow” and the bounded outside, leaving a sobbing Rarity in her room. Rarity soon had a full grasp upon what had happened and shut the windows.

“I shall never see my dearest Opal ever again! I have seen much in my journeys in this world, things both beyond comprehension and things too horrifying to recount. And of all that I have seen, this is quite most definitely the worst possible thing ever! I know not what I may do now without my beloved Opal!”

Pining for her dearly beloved pet and friend in the world, Rarity went to the ground floor of the house and looked about the sad place. “Oh what have I done with my life? I cannot possibly live without Opalescence!” And with this she retrieved her most beautiful rope and stood on a stool, tying one end around a rafter and making the other end into a noose. She slipped the hoop of the noose around her neck and kicked the chair aside and proceeded to dangle from the ceiling.

Just then Sweetie Belle came in, said something about how she and her friend Applebloom were going to jump off the roof, and immediately went upstairs. She could not hear them, or stop them, for she had lost all the will in the world to do anything. But then a miracle happened, something that gave her pause for hope and that there was finally the will to live. She heard a voice from the still opened front door and it said “‘Scuse me, ma’m? I gots the pillas you ordered!”

She undid the noose, fell to the floor and immediately rushed to the delivery pony who was standing in front of a large cart full of pillows. “Oh, thank you darling.”

“Is you gonna be awright ma’m?”

“Of course! I was simply hanging around.”

“Awright then, just sign heyuh an heyuh.” The pegasus then gave her a clipboard which she signed with her trademarked eloquent style. But as she was dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s, Sweetie Belle and Applebloom landed on her and she got knocked out. They started talking, something about Diamond Tiara having a good idea, and then they just got out of there. The stallion looked at Rarity who was passed out and crushed on the ground and just went “‘Scuse me miss, is you awright?” and tapped her on the head. She did not move. “Aw jeez, not again.” He just bolted, taking flight and getting out of there because nobody wants to be caught near an unconscious lady, especially when she’s naked.

Rarity awoke several moments later and saw that the delivery pony was gone though the cart full of pillows was still present. She gladly pushed the cart down into the hobo pit where they devoured it in minutes, yet it seems their hunger was not appeased in the slightest by this gesture. Rarity bailed and went back inside and up to her room to pass the day away with sleep, for she could not bear to face reality without the companionship of her dear cat.
