Equestria, a land of Earth ponies, Pegasi, and even Unicorns living together in harmony, sharing their happiness and love towards one another, making the land more prosperous and welcoming. Yet, despite the majority being positive, there are some dark corners residing in some places, especially within a city that lacks one aspect, generosity.
It was a rainy and cold evening in Manehattan; the freezing and harsh breeze was fierce, and the rain poured down from the heavens in a dreary nature. Despite its gloomy appearances, Rarity still appreciated the city's architecture, the prosperity, and the famous ponies who reside there. Inside that city, ponies believed that it was every mare or stallion for themselves, that the key to survival and achievements was to be better than the rest, leaving the weakest links in the dust. To Rarity, it was a city that was filled with stubborn children demanding and taking things and not returning the favor, but that didn't bother her at all. Living in Ponyville was much more peaceful and calming than any of the other places she'd been.
Rarity kept staring at the foggy train window. Droplets of rain latched on to the cold surface of the glass, giving Rarity something slightly worthy to look at. Some stayed on for the ride while others crawled their way across the window and leaped off the train. She sighed in boredom, fidgeting with her left hoof while she rested her head upon her right hoof.
"If only they had a spa cart on this train, I wouldn't be dying of boredom right now." Rarity said plaintively, the boredom tormenting her. Her only objective in this short visit was to gather some rare materials for her new dresses. Materials that weren't sold anywhere but within the tall labyrinthine city.
"I suppose a quick trip to one of the the Manehattan Spas will fulfill that need. After all, I must not disappoint Hoity Toity for my unoriginality. Just wait until he sees what I bring to him... his mane will surely flip in surprise!" Rarity looked at the bag sitting next to her and saw her spool thread collection. At first glance she spotted a spool of rainbow-colored thread hidden among the other spool threads. Her face lit up with a heartwarming smile as she looked at the spool thread, reminding her of the pony who gave it to her. But the smile faded away as she felt something bitter about the peculiar spool of thread.
She reached inside the bag and fished out the rainbow spool of thread with curiosity. As she grabbed it, she pulled it out of the bag and inspected the colored light reflecting off of the thread. Being her third most generous gift - her second was her friends and her first was her family - she started to ponder about the pony's well being after they parted ways. Rarity couldn't stop thinking about her ever since she received the gift. Her voice was charming and quite nice to listen to, her mane and personality were absolutely stunning, but what she admired her the most was her act of generosity. Rarity had hoped that she would be doing alright alone with her new job and her new life. Even so, Rarity felt a bitter emptiness within her heart as she kept staring at the colored thread, wishing she would had done more for the mare. Regardless of how she felt right now, Rarity was still focused on her purpose here. She turned towards the window again, just as the train was pulling into the station.
I hope you're doing well, darling... thought Rarity, as the image of that beautiful face that had always seemed so full of life stirred in her mind... Coco Pommel was her name. After Rarity had left Manehattan and settled down in Ponyville once more, both her and Coco had been sending letters to one another, sharing their daily stories, weird events, and so forth. For three whole months, Rarity and Coco sent message after message, giving the mail ponies an extra amount of hard work by traveling from one place to another. Nevertheless, both ponies immensely enjoyed reading and writing back each other’s letters. However, the letters she had been receiving from Coco stopped coming two weeks ago. It was peculiar of her to skip that many days in a row. Rarity didn't care if Coco's letters arrive a day or two late, she knew that Coco must be just too busy to write another letter, but two weeks without even a notice caused Rarity to feel concerned about her. Rarity didn't know where she was right now, but she had hoped to meet her during her day trip, just to make sure she was alright.
Before she made her way off the train, Rarity had donned her purple coat, and opened her umbrella to avoid as much of the terrible weather conditions as possible. Once she was off of the train and out of the station, she was greeted by the fantastic structures of Manehattan. The streets were overrun by soggy mists, large puddles were scattered in various places, and there were only a few ponies that dared to venture out in the cold weather. The temperature wasn't exactly pleasing to Rarity, but she shrugged it off as she was under weathers like this before. Taking a deep breath, allowing the moist rain to enter through her nostrils, she exhaled softly and tasted the aroma of the rain on her taste buds.
With no time to waste, she started walking down the sidewalk, and begun her journey into the atmospheric city. Walking down the drenched sidewalk, Rarity took her time by admiring the features inside the city with glee. The aroma of rain that entered Rarity’s nostrils was still naturally delightful to smell. A series of bright lamp posts that formed a sequential pattern guided her way through the eerie and blurry trail. Taxi and cabbie wagons, operated by stallions, ran from street to street, fighting off the cold breeze and the harsh rain while trying to get to the passenger's destination as quickly as possible. Down the sidewalk, Rarity looked into various window displayed shops that sold different kinds of items, most of which she ignored admiring. Rarity also kept stepping on recyclable garbage on the ground to her disgust, whether it be plastic cups, newspapers, and other recyclable wastes. She normally wouldn't mind a stroll around the city on a rainy day, but she felt uncomfortable being out in the open alone, especially in such conditions. She continued to trot along the sidewalk, passing from building to building to reach her destination.
Suddenly, Rarity picked up a faint sound of a sort that was unusual for an everyday stroll. It sounded like distressed sobbing, and its source was coming out from a nearby dark alley. As she heard the cries, Rarity instantly had an idea on who's voice belonged to, yet hoped that she was wrong. With no other pony nearby to come help, she summoned her courage and went inside the dark alley to investigate herself. Within the dark and eerie alley were knocked over trash bins that spilled disgusting garbage on the ground. Wet stray cats hissed at Rarity, showing unwelcome hostility. Rarity grimaced in disgust at the cats' scary features, but she was still focused on the distressed sound coming from down the alley. It took some bravery to allow her to venture further into the twists and turns of the dark alley. Once she reached at the end, she spotted a familiar mare, sitting alone at the corner of the wall while the rain poured down on her relentlessly.
The lonely pony had a very pale milky coat with a muddy lavender sailor collar and a ripped scarlet tie. Her mane and tail were a striped pale grayish cyan and opalish gray colors, with a tri-shade hair clip was strapped on to the back of her mane. Her cutie mark was a lavender floppy hat with a scarlet feather attached to it. She was covered in bruises and cuts, her clothes were torn asunder, and she was shivering very badly. The painful sobbing was so heart aching it made Rarity's heart sink. She recognized the sound of the voice, as it beckoned her to step closer to the mare.
"C-Coco? I-Is that you, darling?” she asked, her voice tinged with worry. The mare's sobbing paused as the pony in question turned around. The mare had uncontrollable tears pouring out, causing her mascara to flow down from her eyes. She also had a nosebleed and a few hoof marks on her cheeks. And her mane was devastatingly disheveled which shocked Rarity the most.
"R-Rarity... ?" she responded dreadfully. Knowing full well now that the voice belonged to Coco Pommel, Rarity gasped in a shocked tone. She rushed over anxiously to aid the broken mare and brought her under the umbrella. Coco looked at the ground, feeling too ashamed to look back at the generous unicorn. She kept sobbing painfully as more tears fell down her eyes. Hearing her cry was so heart aching, it caused the white unicorn to provide more comfort to the poor, broken soul.
"Oh Coco! What happened to you, sweetie?!" Rarity asked compassionately. Coco had always admired Rarity, especially her good generous nature. Whether it was luck or fate, Coco felt unworthy of meeting Rarity at her darkest moments, but at the same time, she was immensely thankful for her support. She felt like she wanted someone to cry on, someone to comfort her, and someone who would help her. She slowly looked up at Rarity, who was displaying a concerned face. Seeing the gentle expression on the Unicorn eased Coco's heart from the tormented suffering she had gone through. Coco flung herself onto Rarity, burying her face into the unicorn's chest and wept uncontrollably. Rarity smiled as she wrapped her hooves around the mare's head, stroking her mane gently and resting her own head on top of hers.
"There, there. It's alright... I'm here, darling. You're safe with me..." Rarity cooed in a comforting tone. Coco buried her muzzle deeper into her chest, hiccuping from the excessive crying.
"T-T-Thank you... M-Miss Rarity..." she responded in a broken tone. As the two embraced one another, the rain continued to pour down from the heavens, weeping along with the other two mares. Neither the cold nor the weather mattered to both ponies, since all they cared about was being together for this moment. After a minute of a warm reunion hug, Rarity finally broke the silence and held onto Coco's head a bit tighter.
"Come on, let's get out of this dreary weather and find a nice and cozy hotel apartment to dry up and stay in." Coco rose her head up to face the teary unicorn smiling down at her with grace. Coco bloomed a small smile as she stared at such wonderful and caring eyes.
"O-Okay..." she replied. As both mares got back up on their hooves, they walked out of the alleyway and back into the rainy city, where they begun to search for a place to stay in, out of the horrific weather they were in.
It was a long and harsh search to find a decent and reasonably priced hotel. Through the brutal cold weather, the unrelenting chilly winds, and the obstacles they encountered, Rarity made sure that Coco would make it to safety. Eventually, they saw a small yet decent hotel just up ahead. Both dressmakers would have just died from embarrassment if anypony out in the public saw them, and started discriminating their appearance, but nonetheless, they were glad that they were out of the fierce rain. As the two ponies checked in from the front desk, Rarity paid the clerk and obtained the key to their room. Thanking the clerk, the two mares set off into the hotel and searched for their room.
They climbed three floors of stairs and walked down several hallways of doors. During their travel, Coco couldn't help but look down at the ground miserably, unbeknownst to Rarity. Coco had hoped she’d never bothered an important and busy pony such as Rarity to help her own problems, but nevertheless, she remained quiet while following the white unicorn. When they reached the door, Rarity placed the key into the slot. She twisted the key counterclockwise and unlocked the door. Satisfied with the clicking noise, Rarity smiled as she opened the door, sighing exhaustedly.
"Here we are!" She spoke positively. Rarity flicked on the light switch and both mares were greeted by a standard, yet pleasant hotel room. Inside were two separate beds that were nicely folded for them. In between the two beds was a smooth wooden drawer with a lamp on top, and above the drawer was a double panel window that displayed droplets of rain on the cold surface of the glass. At the end of the room was a faucet counter with a large and clean mirror above it. And to the left of the faucet counter was a door that lead towards a single bathroom. As both mares stepped inside, Rarity used her magic to put her belongings near a corner while closing the door at the same time.
"I'll get some towels for you, dearie. Wait here please," she said to Coco behind her. Rarity walked towards the end of the room and entered the bathroom to get dry towels. While she waited for her to return, Coco kept looking at the ground with her face full of distraught and suffering. She wished she could had dealt with her ordeal all on her own, yet Coco was humbled for her friend’s hospitality, relieved that Rarity came to her in her darkest need.
"Thank you..." she muttered quietly to herself. Seconds later, Rarity was out of the bathroom with two towels hovering in the air. She approached the distressed mare and used her magic to place both towels on Coco, one on her head and the other on her back. The towels soaked up the water, leaving tufts of a fluffy finish on both her mane and fur along the length of her body. It took some time to dry her off since she was soaking wet, but it was nothing Rarity couldn’t handle. Moments later, after Coco was dry enough, Rarity had already prepared a wet wash cloth and started to clean up Coco's face.
She removed the blood and mud stains that clung onto her face. Whatever happened to Coco made Rarity furious, as she was surely going to get to the bottom of this outrage. As she cleaned off Coco's face the best she could, Rarity immediately started to renew Coco's disheveled mane. She levitated one of her valuable hairbrushes out of her bag and begun combing her mane vertically, removing tangled hairs and reforming them back into straight lines.
"So... umm... why are you here... Miss Rarity?" Coco asked calmly, starting off a simple conversion while her mane was being fixed. Rarity lit up a smile to brighten the conversation.
"Oh, just taking a quick trip here to gather the materials I need for a new dress. Hoity Toity can be demanding at times, but I digress. After that, I'll be heading back into Ponyville tomorrow. So how are... you doing?" Rarity asked, starting out positively, slowly dropping to a timid tone near the end of her sentence. Coco eyed away from Rarity to hide and spare her the suffering she had been through.
"I-I'm doing... great." And that was all Coco could say on the matter. Judging from her tone, her appearance, and the fact that she was crying all alone in a dark alley, Rarity obviously knew something was up. It was also obvious that the mare's eyes and eyelids were irritated from her excessive crying. It angered her knowing that somepony had the audacity to do such vile act upon an innocent soul. After long minutes of drying her body, cleaning up her face, renewing her clothes, and straightening her mane out, Coco's appearance was back to normal - almost anyway. Satisfied with the results, Rarity levitated the wash rag, the two towels, and her brush back to where they originally belonged. The white unicorn got up and walked towards the bed. She hopped on and laid on the bed’s surface, facing towards the other mare with a simple smile.
"Come sit with me, darling," Rarity requested. Coco blushed slightly from the request, feeling too hesitant to answer, but the sound of her voice wasn't threatening or intimidating at all, rather it sounded peaceful and lovely. It took several moments for the shy mare to respond and finally decided to climb onto the bed with Rarity. Once the two mares were on bed, Rarity used her magic to flicker off the lights, and allowed the moonlight illuminate the entire darkened room. Both of them were sitting up, one staring at the other in concern, while the other tried her best to not look too distressed. Whatever what the problem was, Rarity was genuinely ready to listen and help Coco out.
"Now... if you don't want to talk about it right now, that is totally fine. But... but I want to let you know that I'm here for you, and I would love to help you out. I simply cannot stand seeing you like this. So, do you mind telling me what happened?" Rarity asked. As the bridleway dressmaker stared into Rarity's gorgeous eyes and her attractive mane, Coco began to resist. She eyed away while trying her best to simmer down her exposed blush.
"I-It's nothing... really... I-" She tried to speak, but Rarity’s hoof hushed her from going any further.
"Now Coco, don't try to hide it. It's okay, you can tell me, darling." The pleasant words eased Coco, relaxing her tense muscles and beckoning her voice forward.
"I... I..." Coco tried to fight back, yet her words were clogged up, too afraid of leaving her mouth. Rarity however, kept quiet and let her friend get started with great patience. The more time she worked Coco’s courage up, the less she felt forced to speak. After taking a few deep and calm breathing, she finally was comfortable enough to start talking.
"Oh Rarity... I don't think I can take it living here anymore!" She exclaimed, confessing in a shameful tone. Rarity blinked in confusion, wondering what caused her to break down that much.
"Pardon?" Rarity asked. Now that the cat was out of the bag, it was no use hiding her problem anymore. Coco took a deep breath and sighed slowly.
"Ever since I quit my job with Suri, I started to love the job you gave to me," sighed Coco. "Making dresses for them was really fun and enjoyable... it was like I was home again. I felt wanted... like I was necessary for them, but those days started to fade... until..." Coco paused, as she realized she was heading towards a painful memory road. She was starting to become hesitant once more, but Rarity placed her hoof on Coco’s shoulder pad to reassure her that she was ready to listen.
"Until what, darling?" Rarity asked curiously. The more time Coco was with Rarity, the more she felt safer and calmer. Willing to give it a shot, Coco began her story as calmly as she could.
"W-Well... we were doing just fine... until we were having financial problems. It all started after we ended the grand finale of our recent performance. You should've been there... the audience cheered for the actors loudly. We thought we did a pretty good job... especially for me, since I worked so hard on those costumes. It was one of the most spectacular and gratifying nights of my life. But strangely... after the show... we discovered that our revenue was very low. We found out that the reason for that was only a few ponies out of hundreds actually paid for their tickets... the rest we're just freeloaders. And that's when we started to have... problems."
"What happened?" Rarity inquired further. With nowhere to turn back now, Coco was about to approach her most painful memories she ever had, but with Rarity on her side, she did her best to express the event.
"O-Our director... felt so depressed and robbed of his own creation, he started to make us work harder for the next performance... especially for me. H-He wanted so much out of me... that I couldn't keep up with. I've did my best, I truly did... but I started to feel pushed down. As time... As time went by, our director had been drinking himself down, and eventually... he showed his true nature to us. Then... when I was on my break, the director got so angry at me for being lazy..." Coco took a deep breath and continued, "And started to abuse me more than the rest of the staff. H-He hurt me in more ways than one." She paused for a moment to gather her strength up. She was nearly breaking into tears, and Rarity wanted to be with her when she does collapse.
"What did he do...?" She asked with great concern and curiosity. Coco took her time to regain composure, trying to fight back the tears that were coming. Rarity was in no rush, she waited patiently for her to continue. It was nerve racking to take everything she said all in, but she was sufficed enough to let her patience guide her through. After a few long moments to gather enough strength to continue, she wiped away the tears and prepared to continue talking. She regained composure, but her voice was starting to crack; her throat was clogging up which started to cause the broken mare to hiccup. Fresh batch of tears rolled out of her eyes, sliding down her cheeks much faster than ever before. As she resumed the story, her mind was slowly preparing itself for a reenactment of the painful memories.
"E-Every time I made a mistake... he would start *hic* hitting me until he simmered down. H-He also purposely makes f-fun of me f-for not working hard enough. H-He also s-scolded and insulted my family for having to... raise such a worthless and lazy child. A-And... a-and *hic* sometimes... when he takes... his drinking problems... t-too far... h-he would *hic* try to rape me... w-when I'm at my... m-most vulnerable." Coco paused as the pain was already conflicting her mind. Rarity's eyes were wide open in shock as the story continued.
"Oh my Celestia... Coco..." Rarity whispered, aghast. Coco couldn't handle the pressure any longer, as she bursted into unfathomable tears and continued to blurt out her torturous slideshow, wanting to end this torment.
"I-It wasn't just him... the other staff... e-even *hic* the cast... started to view me as a worthless pile of trash… which I don’t judge them for it. They blamed me for ruining the show. It was the same everyday... going to *hic* my job, expected to work more than I can do... being picked on by the staff and the cast... some attempted to molest me... and even *hic* hit me whenever they want. It soon became too much for me... so much so... that I decided to finally confront the director... a-and *hic* throw away the job. B-But... h-he didn't take it very lightly after the news. I-In fact, h-he even was more r-ruthless *hic* and frightening than ever when I said that. I took his punches and kicks... harsh insults... and even tried to escape from being raped once more. W-Without *hic* a job now... I was left... homeless and hopeless. I-I didn't know where else to go... I was... lost. A-And then… *hic* that's when you found me." Finally, after she described her story the best way she could, Coco fell onto Rarity's chest and buried her muzzle inside, weeping uncontrollably. Rarity, who was still stunned by the story, was left shocked and appalled. She had no idea her director friend would turn out to be such a despicable character, especially in his darkest hours. Not even that, it made her more sick to hear her friend’s struggle to please such ungrateful ponies.
"Oh Coco dear... I am so sorry that this ever happened to you," Rarity said sympathetically. Coco lifted her head up and stared at Rarity with tears rushing furiously down her cheeks, her voice still stuttered and cracked.
"I've been g-generous like you when I *hic* started w-working for them... doing them favors... g-give them gifts and ask nothing in return... nothing *hic* e-except respect. It felt great to be g-generous... it makes me feel like s-such a nice pony. I-I tried my hardest to please them... but they just shoved me away like... *hic* like I was some s-sort of burden to them. I love this city... n-no matter how much I dislike the ponies here... It's still my home. This city has been kind to me... it has let me have so… *hic* so many happy memories to share with ponies like you... and your friends. I-If only my parents were alive... I… n-no. I don’t want them to see how much of a failure I turned out to be. I’m…*hic* nothing but a pathetic loser that can’t even stand up for myself. I… I hate myself… a-and…*hic* m-my life..." At that moment, Coco once again couldn't hold her composure any longer and resumed her heartache weeping inside Rarity's chest. The white unicorn started to stroke her mane gently, while rocking both of their bodies back and forth in a soothing movement.
"Shhhh... it's okay Coco. Just let it all out, darling..." While Rarity gave Coco the opportunity to regain her composure, Rarity was also shedding tears of her own. She couldn't bear to imagine a more horrible fate for Coco, but it didn't matter. Rarity was with her precious pony and that was all she needed right now. Somepony to actually comfort a tormented soul in their greatest time of need and listen to their problems. Whether it was by luck or fate, Rarity was thankful for being able to meet with her at such time and save her from the cruel hands of reality. After a few minutes went by, Coco had gathered up almost all of her strength to continue talking. She let herself off of Rarity and stared back at her.
"O-Oh... and I'm really sorry for... not writing you back... I-I was too busy dealing... with the hardships... and my tight schedule. That's... the reason why I couldn't... make a letter. Oh Rarity, please forgive me, I-I was so tired everyday and-" Once more, Rarity interrupted her.
"Oh darling, it doesn't matter. I don't care if it takes years for you to write another letter to me. As long as I know you're doing okay, then I will be too." Despite her efforts trying to cheer Coco up, she still looked pale and depressed. The bridleway dressmaker looked away for a moment, more tears fell out of her eyes. Coco closed her eyes and sighed, pondering her judgement towards the ponies in the city. Every time they looked at her, they stared at her with great superiority, shunning her and even mocking her own existence. Especially the way the crowd stared at her, glowing red eyes that indicated their cruel nature. But the worst thing about them was their laughter... their devious and mocking laughter. It was a nightmare of unbearable pain and loneliness that drove Coco into a state of unimaginable anguish. She opened her eyes and stared back at Rarity with eyes that displayed turmoil.
"I-I don't know if I can stand... these ponies anymore. They are all selfish, cruel... and greedy. But... this place is also where I grew up... my home. I-I can't just... leave these ponies here without being generous to everypony. If I don't... t-then my life... would be meaningless. I... I just want them to be happy... to accept me... b-but..." Not wanting her to suffer anymore, Rarity placed her hoof onto Coco's lips, silencing her.
"Darling, listen to me. Do you really think it's the city that you have all of those memories? Do you really think that the city itself cares about you?" Rarity asked sincerely. She placed her hoof down and Coco could only respond in silence. With no answer, Rarity continued talking.
"All of those memories... they’re just that, memories. It isn't the city that you love. A city is a place to stay... not a home. But listen, if you really want to think like that, then think about all the names of those ponies who insulted you, or hurt you for no reason. Think about how helpless you felt when they harmed and molested you, how much you wanted to fight back but couldn't do so. If anyone was to blame for all of this, it would be the city. The city was the one who did that to you, the people in it are the city. Manehatten is filled with nothing but a bunch of hateful, disrespectful, ignorant ruffians." As much as Rarity wanted to scold more of the city's rotten reputation, she eventually calmed down and started to adopt a positive facial expression. She grabbed Coco's right arm with both hooves and smiled warmly.
"But I don't hate you... nor do my friends... and even Ponyville as well. All those happy memories aren't from the city, they're from the ponies who care and think about you. Home is especially..." Rarity paused for a moment as she guided Coco's hoof and placed it on the unicorn's chest. Coco gasped when she could feel the unicorn's heart beating rapidly.
"Right here..." Rarity finished her sentence. The rhythm of the heartbeats enticed Coco, compelling her face to flush red and her own heart to drum faster. On that moment, Coco was adopting new feelings she never once had for Rarity. Even the fashionista herself was blushing profusely, implying to Coco that she too could be having the same feelings for her. After a few seconds silently went by, Rarity released Coco's hoof.
"R-Rarity... w-what are you... getting at?" Coco asked quizzically and anxiously. Slowly, Rarity's facial expression turned from a smile to a slightly desperate frown.
"Coco... please... come live in Ponyville with us." Rarity spoke firmly. Coco gasped in surprise from the words she never had expected to hear.
"Wh-What?"
"Unlike this city, our town is full of kind, heartwarming, and generous ponies who wouldn't think less of you. It may not be as fanciful as this place, and not extremely successful, but their warm and loving nature is more valuable than anything else in the world. And we would love to welcome you as… well… like a part of a big family." For the first time in Coco’s life, her heart was feeling a heartwarming opportunity; it just sounded too good to be true. She wanted to accept, but part of her still felt that she needed to be where she belonged.
"R-Rarity... I... would love to... but this is still my home... I c-can't just abandon it," she confessed shamefully. Coco felt like a bird in the cage, not allowing herself to roam free. She hoped that her friend would understand, but Rarity only shook her head in disapproval.
"The only reason why you cling to this place is because you want to prove yourself worthy and make ponies here happy, but they don't show the same courtesy back to you. You’re just afraid of leaving the one place you recognized the most and where you felt comfortable at. But overall, I think you’re afraid of failing outside the city. Believe me, I know how you feel, you’re not alone. Ponyville is a place where others are accepted for who they are, what they are, and how much they care about each other. You may have been born here... but that doesn't mean you get to be caged up in this city for the rest of your life. That is not what I call home. Be with the ones who truly care about you... and then you will feel home again." Struck by her reason, Coco was left speechless. As much as she wanted to protest back, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by such a kind request.
"I..."
"You are one of the sweetest and most beautiful mares I've came across... and I've met countless of others. You want to spread your generosity as much as you can, making them happy and strengthening bonds. I really admire ponies with hearts like yours..." Rarity grabbed both of Coco's hooves; they could feel their connection starting to spark with life. Coco could only blush deeper as Rarity started to scoot slightly closer to her.
"Coco... please come live in Ponyville with nice and loving ponies there. Come live with my friends and... come live with me." The moment Coco heard Rarity mention herself, Coco gasped in surprise. She was conflicted with confusion from the message she had heard.
"...But why?" Coco asked nervously and quizzically. Rarity eyed down to the bed, thinking of the right words to say, then she looked back at Coco.
"The truth is, dear... I couldn't stop thinking about you after we parted ways. There was something about you that was worth more than diamonds from what I've seen. You see... I've been collecting your letters and... have been keeping them ever since, so that I could read your beautiful writing every time I go to bed at night. The way you wrote and how you used your words were so poetic." As she continued to talk, Coco could help but scoot slightly towards Rarity.
"Y-You think... my letters are... poetic?" Coco asked, causing Rarity to scoot closer just slightly.
"Oh they were just simply marvelous! It looked as if I was reading a very great novel! Every time you responded, I couldn't help but feel envious of your work and your writing, just like your creativity and personality. But when the letters stopped coming after a few days, I knew that something was wrong. I had a hunch that you were in trouble... I could just feel it. If only I had known about this sooner, I would've paid a visit to that dastardly director and give him something to think about! If only... I had known this was happening... I could of returned and be at your side. After all.. you're smart, generous, kind... and beautiful." Hearing the last word Rarity said made Coco's heart jump, filling her body with glee.
"T-Thank you... " Coco said, her tone was shifting towards affection. As the two mares stared at each other, they felt more and more connectable. It was undeniable that both had the very same feelings burning deep inside them. Their eyes glittered ever so marvelously, their breathing was in perfect sync, and their hearts were beating as one. They've been staring silently at each other for a good few minutes, which felt like an eternity, until Rarity couldn't take it anymore. She just had to be the first to say it, her heart was driving her mad.
"I... have a confession to make, Coco darling. I hoped I would see you again or to tell you by letter. I even should had said something a while back. I knew it was too premature... but now... I feel like this is the best time. I may look like a mare seeking only for stallions... but sometimes... when a lady's emotions and feelings guides you naturally... you might be surprised to see who you could end up with." Coco's eyes widen in anticipation. The suspense was driving her heart mad. Coco was just begging for Rarity to say what she wanted to hear.
"Are... are you trying to say that... you're...?" Unable to keep the suspense any longer, Rarity sighed in utter defeat as her feelings were too much for her to handle.
"Yes dear... I... I'm actually in love with you." And on that moment, time froze for Coco; her world stopped for a few moments to allow her to comprehend what she heard. Her heart felt like it performed multiple loops, and her brain went haywire from the blissful prediction. For the first time, Coco went beyond the border of joy and happiness. As the world resumed spinning once more, Coco’s heart sprung to life. She couldn't help but burst into more tears, but it wasn’t tears of suffering or sadness, but rather the complete opposite.
"R-Rarity..." sniffed Coco, "Do you... do you mean it?" Coco asked as a joyful smile slowly crept onto her face. Hearing such positive response also made Rarity's heart flutter.
"I don't want anything else in the world right now... I just want to be with you and make you the happiest mare ever. I-I want to make you happier than ever before because you deserve it." Coco looked into her eyes, they showed no sign of deception. She thought she was dreaming, that this was all fake, but it felt so real... it felt so right. Coco returned her affection to Rarity with a genuine joyful smile she never donned before.
"O-Oh Rarity... y-you don't know how much this means to me! I-I also have a confession to make... I, too have been keeping your letters!" Coco admitted with full confidence, her heart burst out of her chest. It was Rarity's turn to feel blissful as her heart pounded wildly.
"You have...?!" Rarity asked in utter surprise. Coincidence or not, the news was just to joyful. Coco scooted towards Rarity, their faces were merely a few inches away from each other, and their lips will soon be intertwined with one another.
"Yes... you write so elegant and... charming. Your letters even smell like your perfume, I keep smelling them to always be reminded of you." It was at this point Rarity could feel Coco's lustful breath beckoning her to submit herself to its enticing temptation. She held onto Coco's hooves, readied herself for the big moment at hand.
"Oh Coco... does that mean that you also-" Rarity was cut short when Coco unhesitatingly answered right away.
"Yes M-Miss Rarity, I'm in love with you as well!” Rarity gasped in utter bliss, a thrilling shock traveled up her spine from hearing her response. Coco saw her expression and giggled in great delight.
“Oh, this is the best night of my life! Thank you... thank you so much!" At that moment, both of their hearts exploded into fires of elation. Both were eagerly ready to finally express their desires through action. Rarity squealed happily as her face lit up with such profound joy.
"And thank you too, my love!" Rarity replied excitedly. It was then that their long awaited lips finally clashed with one another, locking themselves with a fierce embrace. It started out lightly, but overtime the mares were consumed by lust and their kiss became more passionate that their lips produced loud smacking sounds. Moans of ecstasy escaped through their mouths as their tongues wrestled with each other. Both allowed their aliens to explore and relished the tastes of the inner walls of their caverns. The mares caressed each other's bodies soothingly, stroking up and down their backs and necks to engross their passion. All of their worries, the sadness, and the care for the world was pushed aside. On this moment, the two mares were only focusing on sharing this magical night alone with one another.
Oooh... this is just truly wonderful! Rarity thought to herself in delight. Their passionate kiss went on for several well spent minutes, taking short breaks to catch their breaths before diving back in. Every moment that passed by, they would relish the sensation and store it into their memories for ages to come. After the minutes went by, they ended their passionate kiss session with their tongues lolling out, while leaving a trail of saliva in their wake. Both of their eyes fluttered open, as they steadily breathed their well deserved fresh air. They looked into their eyes once more, smiling at each other in amazement. Their face were deep red as they saw each other’s lustful expressions.
"W-Wow... that was... incredible..." Coco whispered while she panted. Rarity couldn't help but giggle in delight.
"Your tongue tasted so sweet..." Rarity commented, making Coco grin a bit wider.
"You smell much nicer than I do..." Coco replied while she, too, giggled in delight.
"Oh but my love, that doesn't even compare to how attractive and simply divine you truly are." Rarity remarked as she leaned forward and peck a kiss on her lips. She then started nibbling on the bridleway dressmaker’s ears, licking her cheeks and neck ever so greedy. Coco moaned so softly, her body started to quake in pleasure from the unicorn's sensational touches.
"Oooohh... R-Rarity..." cooed Coco as she closed her eyes while exhaling in pleasure. At this point, both of the mare's nether regions were soaking wet, especially during their kissing session. Their marehoods were burning with desire, pleading their owners to satisfy them, begging and encouraging them for their release. Rarity tried her best to resist the temptation and kept her focus on pleasing her lover's body, but it proved to be unignorable. It became too apparent for the both of them that the enticing aroma of their marehoods beckoned them to heed the call. As much as Rarity wanted to stall, she and her lover grew impatient. Rarity stopped nibbling her ear and stared at Coco with desire in her eyes.
"Darling, please let me share my generosity... you deserve it," said the desperate unicorn. Coco could see it in her lover’s eyes as she too was also growing impatient while showing signs of desperation. Coco was about to accept, but she quickly realized that no one in her life had ever touched her precious flower. She was hesitant, unsure of allowing the only mare she ever looked up to vandalize her precious lips, yet at the same time she wanted to please Rarity greatly for all she had given, and she couldn't back down now. It took her a considerable amount of thinking before she responded with a nod.
"A-Alright... t-thank y- OOOOHHHH!!" gasped Coco as she felt Rarity's hoof started to rub her clit. Another sharp gasp escaped Coco's mouth when the wave of pleasure finally hit her. The sensation was riveting, never in her life she felt such pleasure passing through her body by virtue of another pony. As the unicorn gently rubbed the small nub in a circular motion, she watched her lover shutter so adorably. Coco's body seemingly acted by itself from the waves of pleasure, and started grinding and thrusting forward and back. This only pleased Rarity further, seeing her lover enjoying the jovial sensation. Rarity wanted to see more... the reaction was just turning her on so much. She sped up and begun rubbing faster, causing Coco to writhe in pleasure.
"O-Oh my... oh my... you feel great! Please don't stop!" Coco panted frantically. Rarity's hoof was soaking wet after a good handful of seconds of pleasuring Coco's nether. Rarity could hear her pussy swishing in her secretions, it was just orgasmic to hear such sound. Looking at her wet lips, Rarity bit the bottom of her lip and blushed profusely at such sweet nectar.
"So inviting..." Rarity murmured unconsciously, licking her lips apprehensively as she started to lean down toward Coco's thighs. Coco felt that Rarity had stopped rubbing her clit and wondered why she ceased. She was about to open her eyes and look, but her curiosity left the window shortly after as she gasped sharply once more. Rarity attacked her lover's flower gracefully, locking her lips over the wet, swollen petals, and thrusting her tongue in deep. Each thrust that entered and exited the depths was causing Coco's slick, wet walls to squeeze around her tongue, provoking a long, stifled squeal from her lover. Then Rarity slid up and wrapped her lips around her lover's button. The unicorn gave it a couple of light sucks and let it slip free again. After a few suckles, both soft and hard, she went dove right back in the hole. Rarity savored the taste of her lover's sweet nectar, moaning in enjoyment while listening to her lover squeal and wheezing uncontrollably.
Her flower is so exquisite… even her moans and squeals are just driving me mad! Oooh, please do cum soon, darling, I don't know if I can contain myself any longer! Rarity whined in her consciousness. The thought of being sprayed by Coco's juices and getting them all over her face made Rarity even wetter and more ferocious. The unicorn couldn't help herself but placing her hoof between her own thighs and started rubbing her sex. The sensation drove her mad, she was deeply infatuated with her mare. She placed her other hoof on Coco's love button and continued rubbing it in a clockwise motion, while her tongue dug deep into her walls and eventually found her right spot. Coco reacted to the stimulation as she rolled her head backwards and lolled her tongue out.
"OOH!! OH MY!!! R-Rarity... I-I'm... almost..." Coco was a loss of words, she couldn't focus on anything but riding with the pleasure. Her body was experiencing so much sensation that it made her fall back onto the pillow behind her. Satisfied with her work almost done, Rarity took her lips off of the pedals for a moment to encourage her lover.
"Yes! Yes my love! Don’t hold back now!!" Rarity quickly added before eagerly diving right back in. She rubbed Coco's button faster, excavating her walls more ferociously, and furiously rubbing her own sex. The wrath of the waves of pleasure caused both Rarity and Coco's bodies to go insane. Coco's whole body quivered from the might of Rarity's work, surrendering her will to the sensation. Rarity kept vigorously rubbing the nub of the Earth pony, and slowly inhaled the air as the aroma of the meal was blanketing her thoughts and filling her nose. After a few more moments of riding the waves of pleasure, Coco was ready to burst.
"Ahh... AHHH. AH AH AH HAA... AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" Coco screamed heavenly as the sickly sweet fluids that had shot out of her cave splashed into Rarity's mouth. After devouring the first load, Rarity pulled back from Coco's lips and opened her mouth wide with her tongue hanging out, while she kept rubbing the clit vigorously. Coco continued to gush her juice out of the flower, splashing all over Rarity's face. Rarity kept her eyes shut and her mouth wide open, savoring the feeling of Coco's sex spraying her face while she exhaled joyfully. It felt perfect, it was exactly what Rarity had hoped.
"Oooh yes... simply wonderful!" Rarity cooed ecstatically, ceasing rubbing her own sex. After a glorious handful of seconds of ejaculating, Coco's quivering body ceased moving. She panted for fresh air at last, overwhelmed by the shrill experience Coco went through.
"T-That... was... amazing, Rarity. T-Thank you..." Coco responded warily. Rarity swept all the droplets of juice from her face, and licked it all off of her hoof. After that, she scooted closer to Coco’s warm body, lying down right next to her. The two stared at each other for a moment, both wanting to be lost in their stunning gazes. Slowly but surely, both mares pecked a kiss to each other, lustfully looking into their dazzling eyes. Then something caught Coco’s attention, as she caught a whiff of… something intoxicating. Coco eyed down at Rarity's rosy petals that were covered in her own secretions. The clitoris that was tucked away in the Unicorn’s vulva was winking seductively at Coco. She was enthralled by the way it popped out and back in, mesmerizing her to seize such precious treasure and claim in around her moist lips. Coco was just dying to engorge herself, but as a gentlemare, Coco wouldn't go rush inward without permission. She stared back up at Rarity with a rosy face.
"C-Could I... well you know..." As Coco was trying to describe her request, Rarity knew exactly what she wanted to do next.
"But of course dear, please do away with me, my love!" she replied, moving her body up and sitting on top of Coco's face in a matter of seconds. Rarity saw Coco blush fiercely and her eyes widen. The unicorn could tell that the shy mare below was too apprehensive to continue, she was already lost of direction.
"Darling, just do what I did to you, and you'll do fine," Rarity said reassuringly, smiling down at Coco under her flower. Coco nodded and stared at the swollen, needy pussy continuing to wink in front of her. The blush on Coco's face intensified again from viewing such stunning features. She took a deep breath to calm her nerves, and exhaled through the nose. Rarity was getting turned on just seeing Coco in this position. Her tail flicked excitedly. Coco glanced up and gave her an adorable, hesitant glance. Rarity smiled and gave a nod of approval.
Coco then leaned in and gave a lick up the center of Rarity's lips, sending shivers through her. Rarity gave a happy-sounding moan to encourage the other mare, who started to part her folds with her tongue.
"Mmmm... yes... that's good... deeper, my love..." she moaned positively, instructing the inexperienced mare. Coco closed her eyes and gave a small moan, pushing her tongue deeper into the white mare and flicking it about, rubbing it against all surfaces. As Coco continued to work deeper, she began to gain some experience on where it stimulated the most, and how to manipulate pleasurable sensations within the walls. At this point, Rarity was starting to quiver with pleasure as she felt her lover's tongue slide deeper inside of her. It brushed against all of her inner walls, stimulating her and sending electric sensations up her spine.
"OOOOHHH COCO!! YES!! MMMMMMMHH!!" gasped Rarity unexpectedly, giving Coco a boost of encouragement. Rarity shot her head up skywards, her mouth opened as she moaned loudly. Coco watched her reaction from the heavens, an angel singing heavenly in the bright moonlit sky, blessing Coco from below with such generous melody.
She looks so happy... so loving... so elegant... t-thank you Rarity... this is what I truly wanted to see from you. Thank you for coming into my life! Coco remarked inwardly, a tear of happiness rolled to the side of her face. While Coco's tongue excavated through the cave, she eventually found Rarity's spot inside which caused Rarity to gasp sharply in her reaction.
"Oooh!!" gasped Rarity. "RIGHT THERE, RIGHT THERE! Oooh yes! P-Please don't stop!! Oooohh!! Your tongue... s-so perfect!" Rarity was panting heavily, a thin layer of sweat shined in the pale moonlight, coating her in a silvery veil that defined heaven’s beauty into Coco’s eyes. She could feel pressure building between her legs, and all the enrapture sensation she was feeling from Coco's slithering tongue was pushing her closer and closer to the edge. Her nethers began to leak, beads of nectar were rolling down Coco's lips, and the rest was going down her throat. The bridleway dressmaker was infatuated by the sweet and enjoyable nectar pouring into her mouth like a flow free creek. The taste became so scrumptious, it galvanized Coco to further quench her insatiable hunger for more of the Unicorn’s love juice.
Coco couldn’t help herself by placing both of her hooves onto Rarity's flanks, and pushed her hips further towards her face. Rarity stared down with only one eye barely opened, seeing Coco becoming infatuated by her flower while grabbing her buttocks fiercely. The way Coco squeezed and mushed her buttocks together overwhelmed Rarity as the sensation was pushing her over to her limit. Rarity was rising fast and hard, the sensation skyrocketed her to unreachable heights. She strained every muscle in her body and prepared herself for the largest orgasm she ever had. Rarity instinctively bucked her hips and ground her clitoris on the Earth pony's muzzle, causing more nectar to pour out. After a few intense seconds of skyrocketing towards her edge, Rarity was about to burst.
"HUUUHH... HUUUHH... YES... I'M C-CUMMING, COCO DARLING!! UUUHHH YES!! OH… OH OH OOOH... UUUUUUUUUUHHHHHNNFF!!!!" Rarity gave a very long and loud moan in profound pleasure. She lurched her head back as her orgasm shook her entire body, her pussy tightening and clenching around Coco's tongue. She spewed large amounts of liquid, dribbling into Coco's mouth and onto her face. The sensation was insane for Rarity as she kept bucking her hips on her lover’s mouth. For the first time in Rarity's life, she experienced an orgasm the likes she would've never had been able to achieve. The orgasm she experienced was four times better than any of the previous climaxes she had ever achieved. After a few glorious seconds of riding the climax, the sensation died out and left the Unicorn extremely satisfied. She panted heavily with her tongue lolling out, trying to catch her breath. As she did, she gazed down at Coco, whose muzzle was soaked in her juice. Coco fluttered her eyes open and was met with a very satisfied unicorn breathing steadily.
"H-How did I do...?" Coco asked nervously. Rarity scooted off of her face and laid her stomach on Coco, contently nuzzling against her nose.
"O-Oh simply heavenly, my love! Come here you..." Rarity replied, instantly attacking her lover's lips. Both mares ecstatically embraced each other, transferring their love juices to one another. As they did, both mares hummed in satisfaction from the taste they received. Their lips smacked and gushed out more saliva out of their lips, their sweet juices were simply too addictive to resist. After a minute of sharing their samples to each other, they pulled their heads away with a trail of saliva still connected to both lips.
"Mmmmm... it tastes like marshmallows..." Rarity commented gladly.
"Mine tastes like… Cocoa? Hehe... together we taste like hot chocolate with marshmallows in it," Coco replied, giggling from her little joke. Rarity lightly chuckled and pecked the tip of her nose.
"Very funny, dear." Both mares were silent as they stared into each other's glittering eyes once again. Their faces were still rosy from the excitement, and their hearts were beating madly. Now that both of them had an interval to spare, Rarity thought it was the best time to ask her a question.
"Coco, since you are... well, jobless now, how would you like to... work with me, instead?" Rarity asked nervously, causing Coco's eyes to widen in surprise in response.
"W-With you...?" Coco replied in a baffled tone. Rarity nodded slowly.
"Since I am in need of some extra hooves, you can help out by fulfilling dress orders. Plus, you can have your very own bedroom to sleep in until you can afford your own house in Ponyville. And you're always more than welcome to sleep with me whenever you need to." Coco thought Rarity was generous enough as it is, but she was dead wrong.
"Rarity, I... I don't know what to say," Coco responded, still bewildered by the offer. Rarity placed her hoof on the bridleway dressmaker's cheek, and looked at her worriedly.
"It's just that... I don't want to see you being thrown out in the cold and getting hurt again." As she was talking, Rarity started to caress Coco's mane. "Ever since you gave me that rainbow colored spool, I just couldn't stop looking into the shining thread to see your adorable face reflecting on it. It was you who demonstrated commendable generosity to me. I know we have associated physically for a short period of time, and that our letters were our only form of communication... but there was something about you that I just couldn't resist." Rarity realized she was getting off track, so she went back to the main topic. While Rarity was finishing up, she saw Coco's eyes becoming upwelled in tears.
"Point is, no matter what other ponies say to you, just know that I think you are very beautiful on the outside. What’s inside you however... is beauty far beyond my comprehension. So... what do you say?" Struck by the most heartwarming compliment she ever received in her life, Coco's lips started to quiver. Her heart was drumming madly, screaming to Coco that Rarity had officially won her over.
"Oh Rarity! I-I can't thank you enough! I'll do it! I want to be with you, and make you happy! I-I love you so much!" Coco exclaimed in tears as she threw her head skywards up to Rarity, kissing her by surprise. Rarity closed her eyes and embraced her welcoming lips. The two passionately kissed for a well spent moments until their lips broke apart once again.
"As do I, darling! Now... let's make this our most memorable night ever," Rarity replied, her tone changed into the epitome of lust. Rarity gently nibbled Coco's neck, causing her to moan lively once more. As she did, Rarity rose her rump and got into position by aligning her moist flower towards the other rose. Rarity moved her back hooves on each side of Coco's pelvis, and slowly lowered her rump. Rarity's moist lips reached the soft lips of the other mare, causing Coco to yelp slightly in surprise. Both of their faces flushed red as they made contact with each other.
"Ready dear?" Rarity whispered eagerly. Coco had no objections.
"Y-Yes Miss Rarity..." Coco replied, nodding hastily. With nothing else to say, Rarity started grinding her pelvis slowly against Coco's sex. As their lips were pressing against one another, the new sensation sent sparks shooting through their systems. The surge of desire and love increased as their moans were becoming more erotic.Their bodies pressed together while their marehoods were grinding with one another. Eventually, Coco joined in and slowly started grinding with Rarity’s rhythm. As the white unicorn kept rubbing her clit and slit against the other mare's own flower below, the sensational pleasure they were experiencing soon possessed their minds.
"So good... hah... hah..." Rarity panted lustfully, picking up the pace. Coco arched her neck, she moaned erotically cute with a mixture of lust and satisfaction.
"Please! Don't... stop...!" Coco pleaded as she wrapped her arms around Rarity's back. As Rarity continued to rut her new assistant gracefully, she laid herself onto Coco's body, wrapping her arms around her neck, and resting her chin onto her right shoulder pad. Coco also rested her chin onto Rarity's right shoulder pad while tightening her grip on the unicorn's back. Now comfortable in their improved position, the two continued on, as their bodies were being operated by their love. Their exhilarating hearts were beating faster and their bodies were quivering at a quicker pace. As time went by, it became apparent that their desire to rut was getting very hard to stop, it felt as if they couldn't control their bodies anymore. All they want right now was raw lust and pure pleasure from each other.
Eventually, Rarity desperately started to go faster, making the bed creak and wobble, accompanied by both of the mares' moans. They were causing so much ruckus that nearby next door neighbors could hear them clearly through the walls. Yet as much as they want to stop them or tell them to keep it down, most of the ponies nearby listened on to the hot lesbian action. There were stallions stroking their hard long cocks and mares rubbing their wet pussies, pleasing themselves to the sound of the two lovers, while other ponies ignored the ruckus and slept. As the two continued to rut harder and faster, they eventually passed through the borders of untold pleasures. It was at this point the two mares were near their final climax.
"O-Oh! I-I'm close!" Coco announced loudly, her front hooves twitching and trembling.
"S-So am I, darling!" Rarity replied ecstatically, her body shuddering. Both of the mares were rising extremely quickly, knowing full well that a massive orgasm was heading their way. Rarity and Coco were in perfect sync, their hearts were beating as one, their breaths were in rhythm, and their climax was coinciding with each other. It was all formulating into the most magical and perfect moments of their entire lives, and both wanted it to last for an eternity. After a few seconds of riding the waves, Rarity and Coco were ready to burst one more time. The mares held onto each other for dear life as they were approaching orgasm simultaneously. With one last stride of ecstasy between the mares' love buttons, Rarity and Coco thrusted their hips as fast as they could while they cried out with tears in their eyes.
"I LOVE YOU!" they yelled in unison, their words fueled by their orgasms as they arched their bodies together and came with such great force that overwhelmed their five senses. At that precise moment, Rarity's tongue invaded the mouth of the bridleway dressmaker. Their tongues danced wildly as their love was exploding during this orgasmic event. Torrents of sweet, delicious juices squirted in between the four folds, sprinkling their inner thighs and causing it to be very soaked and sickly. They both rode through the entire experience until the ride eventually came to an end. Rarity released her lips off of Coco and laid on top of her, both breathing heavily.
“That was… *pant*... so perfect darling… *pant.*” Rarity panted with joy, smiling down at Coco. Rarity slid off of Coco's body and laid on her side next to her beloved.
"What a... beautiful night this is." Coco said while catching her breath. Rarity snuggled warmly towards Coco and rested her head on her chest.
"Mmmhmm..." Rarity replied softly. The two mares wrapped their arms around each other and stared at the moonlit room together. Both mares were peacefully nested in their bed with the sheets pushed aside from their love activity. Rarity and Coco held onto themselves, smelling their sweet and sweaty pheromones, and ignoring the nectar that soaked their crotches. They laid next to each other in silence, enjoying the moment they were having.
"So... does this mean we're... marefriends now?" Coco asked curiously, breaking the silence. Rarity turned her body to the side to face Coco and smiled brightly.
"Why yes, I suppose so, darling. I honestly would never have thought of making love with another mare before. I thought that my only interests in romance were with stallions, and with their inherent elegance, handsomeness, and charm. Of course, they never work out for me in the end, which is rather unfortunate. Perhaps I've been looking in the wrong places for love, that's when I ran into you. From the moment I laid my eyes on your face, your mane, and your body... I knew right there that we might had a very special connection. And now... we're one at last. Thank you..." Rarity placed her hoof on Coco’s delicate and rosy cheek. Now that she answered her marefriend's question, she also had one of her own.
"So... does THIS mean you would like to... come live with me?" Coco looked away from Rarity for a moment, pondering on what she had been through and how generous and lovely Rarity was to her. Coco felt like her entire life was being dragged on a rope, going through a road of never ending pain and suffering. She felt helpless to escape her fate, that everything was closing down on her. The poor mare was heading towards damnation… until Rarity arrived and rescued her from the cruel bindings of reality. Coco was extremely glad that Rarity was the one to pull her out of the darkest well and bring her back into the warm light. Coco may had been showed her purpose from Suri and the Hinny of the Hills members, but she never felt respected, let alone loved. Rarity, on the other hoof, provides her with not just love, but a real home to be in. She thought that all of this was too good to be true; it was as if an angel was sent down from the heavens and carried her away into salvation - and Rarity fit the role perfectly. Coco couldn't control herself as she squinted her eyes to fight back the remaining tears she had left.
"Y-Yes... please! I would very much like that! I want to work with you... I want to feel needed! I… want to be with you, Rarity!" Coco responded happily. Rarity giggled for joy from her positive response.
"Fabulous! We'll be leaving tomorrow afternoon, after I pick up some materials here! But for now... let us rest, my love." Rarity smiled warmly as she wiped the tears off of Coco's cheeks, adding a warm peck on the tip of her nose. Coco turned her body around and scooted backwards to let Rarity hug her entire back. Once they were in a comfortable position, Rarity used her magic to pull the covers over them.
"Rarity...?" Coco asked calmly, yawning loudly.
"Hmmm?"
"Thank you... and I-I love you." Rarity’s heart flipped one last time, knowing that she will never grow tired of hearing those three heartwarming words, no matter how much Coco said them. Rarity giggled softly and snuggled her nuzzle into Coco's hair.
"Mmmm... I love you too." Rarity responded with the biggest smile in the world. After that, the two mares sighed softly and drifted off into their well deserved sleep.
It was almost sunset as the train traveled for hours on end. Rarity stared at her window in boredom just like last night's ride. Nevertheless, at least Rarity got the new materials for her new dresses, and also picked up something even better. Since the train was five minutes away from Ponyville's train station, Rarity decided to pass the time by pulling out the Friendship Lesson Journal with a quill pen attached to it from her bag. She levitated the book to her lap, open to an empty entry and begun writing down her thoughts.
Dear Journal,
Equestria is full of ponies, both good and bad. There are those who generously help others while there are those who abuse and take advantage of other ponies. I don't know if it was coincidence or fate, but I believe that going to Manehattan yesterday was the best decision of my life. I've learned that there are ponies out there who are struggling to be accepted among other ponies, and they had nowhere else to go. Most ponies in Manehattan were to lazy or stubborn to help out that person in need. But if you give them a hoof, and give that pony a second chance... even by being very generous to that pony, you will bring them good fortune in their lives. Generosity is a sign of caring for one another, giving them gifts and sometimes receiving them. It helps to strengthen your bonds with one another, forming a more powerful and stronger relationship. And I do believe... that if you spread your generosity as much as you can...
As Rarity was about to finish writing her final sentence, she looked beside her and stared at Coco sleeping onto her shoulders peacefully. She couldn't help but smile at how precious she looked when she was sleeping on her from the once empty seat.
...then you will find something even better in the future... especially if it’s finding your very own special somepony.
Rarity.
(P.S: Never trust Manehattan's hotel bathrooms, trust me.)
As Rarity finished up her writing, she levitated cup of hot cocoa and drained what remained. She then placed it into the trash bin near her. After that, Rarity levitated the journal and quill pen back into her bag, and nuzzled her marefriend's head. Coco giggled at her tickling nose as she looked up to see her lover's warming smile.
"Welcome home, Coco," Rarity whispered softly, kissing her on the forehead. The train came to a stop, puffs of steam were blown out from outside as they now arrived at their destination.
"It's good to be home, Rarity," Coco replied happily, snuggling Rarity. Coco felt excited to know that once she steps out the train doors, she will pass through the gates of heaven and be brought into paradise. Once she gets off the train, all her bad memories and thoughts will stay aboard the train, and be sent far away forever, never to haunt and torment her ever again. And once she basks into the light of Ponyville, her new life with Rarity and her friends... will begin anew.
End.
