The Saga of RK Act 1.

"Good morning, RK!" Lyra greeted me, cheerfully.

I opened my eyes, then began stretching and popping my bones into place. I was still in the hospital, and hungry.

"Morning Lyra, How are you today?" I asked her.

"Oh I'm great, But I scheduled an appointment for you and Rarity at her boutique, so we've gotta  go right now!" She spoke with haste.

"Right now? Can't it wait?" I got up, still tired.

"No! We have got to leave now! C'mon!" She grabbed hold of my shirt and tried to drag me.

"Okay, okay, I'm coming. Just go, I'll catch up."

I followed her as we ran out of the hospital.

"So, who's Rarity and why am I getting a suit?" I shouted as we sprinted in the early morning hours, the sun barely peeking over the horizon.

"Rarity's a friend who runs Carrousel Boutique up ahead!" Lyra shouted back at me.

A building, vaguely resembling a giant carrousel loomed up ahead.

"Shes waiting for us?" I shouted up to Lyra, out of breath.

"Yeah, hurry!" Lyra was already at the building, waiting for me. I began to slow down as I caught up.

"Okay... hold... hold up a sec..." I kept on huffing and puffing, as I had never run that fast that far. Lyra knocked on the door.

"Come in!" A pretty English voice called from inside. We entered the building. The inside had a desk in front, for paying, with an area to try on the clothes and a posing area full if mirrors. Mannequins decorated most of the store's interior, all dreesed with frilly pink dresses, sleek red or black ones, and some that seemed composed entirely of jewels.

"Hello, Lyra darling, do you want me to make a dress for you? Or for Bon-bon?" A white mare with a purple tail and mane wearing small red glasses on the bridge of her nose, and a small tattoo of three small diamonds greeted us. I then noticed that Lyra also had a tattoo in the same place, but of a small lyre. I then remembered that everyone had a tattoo!

"No, not for me, for my friend here, RK." Lyra pointed a hoof at me, introducing me to the English mare.

"Oh? Now who's RK dea- OH MY CELESTIA!!! GET AWAY FROM HIM LYRA!!!" Rarity shrieked.

"Oh nononono!! Don't worry he's okay!" Lyra attempted to persuade Rarity, but that wasn't gonna work.

"GET BACK, YOU MONSTER!" Rarity levitated a mannequin and swung it at me!

"WOAH WOAH, CALM DOWN, LADY! I'M FRIENDLY!" I shouted, dodging the mannequin for the second swing.

"Rarity! Calm down! He's cool!" Lyra stopped the melee weapon.

"WHAT!? HE'S A MONSTER!" Rarity protested.

"Look, he was with me this whole time. Wouldn't he have killed me a while ago if he was a monster?" Lyra convinced Rarity.

"Er... I suppose so... I apologize, RK, we've been having monsters sneak into town for a while, and we have been a bit more than jumpy, as you could see." She combed at her mane, straightening it out.

"No problem, just please don't do that again?" I asked politely.

"I'll try to." She said with a little chuckle.

"Now then, we are going to make you a suit, eh? Black?" Rarity beckoned me upstairs.

"Yes, please." I stated as I climbed up the stairs.

After about 4 hours of posing and measuring, the suit was finished.

"Goodness, finally finished. Here's your jacket and pants all finished up. Thank you for coming to my house." Rarity said, with a little smile as I tried on my new clothes. I looked in the mirror and, for someone who always thought little of himself, I thought I looked pretty good.

"Thanks alot, Rarity." I bowed, showing my more gentlemanly side.

"Oh, its no problem, darling, really." Rarity began to blush. I then heard ponies enter from downstairs.

"Oh, uh... I feel terrible for asking, but could I stay here until, like, eight? I don't think everypony is really ready for me."

"Oh, sure, yeah, you can stay here for the day." Rarity said, her voice smooth.

"Thank you, madame." I sat on the small chair in the corner and began contemplating as I always do.

"Uh... do you need anything?" Rarity asked.

"No, I'll just be here, I'll keep quiet." I reassured her.

"RK? Bad news, you're stuck inside until night time, okay? Tomorrow morning, we'll go see the mayor. For now, just stay here." Lyra informed me.

"Okay, Lyra. See you later." I waved goodbye to Lyra, and began to sleep as I had nothing to really think about. Without the correct mind or tools, I'll never really know if rifts exist and are the reason for me being here, so I decided to give that topic a rest.
