Things Go By
A new Meaning
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIts been a few days and I have realized that this curse with my eyes wasn't meant to help me. It may be the worst thing that has happened to me but it is the best thing that has happened to other ponies.
Let me list some pros and cons
.............
I can help ponies who need it...pro
Everypony thinks of me as some stupid, clumsy, freak at there first sight of me...con
I can see ponies true nature and intentions...pro and con..I mean yeah in certain situations it would be nice to know how others felt abut a topic but..what if people were thinking bad of me I wouldn't want to know about that..or even with surprises..theres just mo surprise...
I sigh and trot back to town from the woods that I have been staying in for these last few days, it isn't that bad lots of foods and water for me.
. . .
As I trot into town I notice a wide assortments of streamers and sparkly rocks strategically organized and placed in certain areas all of them pointing towards a shop which I couldn't help but felt drawn to. I speed up my trot into a gallop and ran towards the shop being called by all of the decorations that were leading me there.
Decorations, designs, and dresses...when I arrived to the shop thats all I could think when the display window caught my eye..so much effort was put into these dresses must of took a long time to make a dress like one of these let alone three of them.
The first dress sparkled white and purple due to the ribbons that enveloped the body while the hat upon the poniken's head was shouting for attention, its frame was bold and hard as if it was sturdy as a rock but it seemed delicate as a flower. To me this dressed screamed out 'Don't stand in my way'.
The next dress that was to the left of the center dress was quiet. It whispered with its calm light green color, a slight nice dull yellow stream spiraled up the poniken's legs and spread of into the body disappearing into the green flickering off the ends. There wasn't a hat and that fit just right this dress was meant to be worn with somepony who could hide behind there own long hair, as if there hair was to be part of the dress. This dressed didn't speak to me but I could understand that it wanted to hide and only be found by certain ponies.
The third and final dress to the right of the center dress didn't seem to be anything..didn't speak out didn't show emotion..and didn't have as much effort to it at all..yet something about it struck me as familiar. The dress had a dark grey body that had no designs into it. Upon the neck a gold necklace hung there as if it was just stuck in a situation it didn't want to be in. The legs were again a simple grey but this time there were gold and black veins that seemed to pulse underneath the color. I didn't notice I was practically pressed against the window until I looked at the poniken's face...it wasn't blank it had a mare with gold eyes..gold wall eyes that couldn't focus upon anything..
"Um, I see you are interested in my dressed." A white mare with luscious purple mane spoke to me.
I didn't know I was staring into my own reflection until there store owner spoke those words I jumped back at the sudden sound for I was in a complete trance, utterly lost in the thoughts of my own mind.
"Oh yeah, um I don't know this dress caught my eye for some reason...why did you make it?" I finally looked at her and saw her color.
The white mare had a remarkable glow of purple light mixed in with some sparkles which made me feel..warm..I dont know how to explain it exactly but it just made me feel...comfortable.
"I still have no idea why I made this dress but theres a dress for every mare and this one just came into my head for no reason...either way its here and ready for purchase..but I feel wrong trying to sell it..yet I am suppose to..right?" She seemed confused and thats when I saw it..her light changed a bit, a green glow mixed with red vibrating dots began to radiate from her puple color.
Think Ditzy what could that mean she is questioning herself about selling it but feels as if it shouldnt be sold like it was meant fro a certain mare. Think. Think. THINK.
"I never asked your name miss-" I interupted here.
"Ditzy, my name is Ditzy and yours is?"
"Rarity."
Rarity...rarity...I remember that name...the mane six..corrupted by..GREED! Aha! Ditzy you genious!
"That's a nice name...." How am I going to go about this, how will I help, how can I...
"Hey I could work out something with you if you want this dress." Her words were stressed as if it hurt to speak.
"Sorry I have no bits." Her eyes went glassy as if I just killed her.
"Then you have no reason to be here." There she left heart exposed so now I can take a stab.
"Greedy much?" Thats all I needed to say two words would easily stop her.
"Greed?! I am of no such thing I am the element of genorsity how can I be greedy!?" Her words were spat out as if something bitter had touched her tongue.
"Just cause I have no bits I cant browse your beautiful dresses?" I was going to go about this smoothly and sneakily.
"W-well no but..why bother it doesnt make sense?" Confused...good I have her confused.
"Just think I could have told friends about this store and they may have bought something here."
"What kind of friends could a wall eyed freak like you have!" Her words struck like venom of course they hurt..words hurt me more them anythinf else. I am weak.
"And now you have gone making insults towards my looks! How could you possibly be genorosity!? Generosity isn't just giving people material items its also about being there to help! You're suppose to give people truthful words but not to be mean but to help! You are suppose to HELP ponies in there time of need! Thats the correct generosity! You suffer from greed...you're to busy worrying about how your own reputation rather than worrying about ponies that need a caring hoof!" I sucked in a breath of air for I was breathless after saying all of my words without a pause.
"...." Silence her light began to shake and vibrate violently but then it exploded brightly, a blinding white came from her and she smiled right before she collapsed..good thing no other pony was nearby or it would have looked like I hurt her so I galloped of quickly smiling that I just helped another pony in need.
I know what I am here for no pony is useless no pony is nothing, I now have a new meaning.
