The Second Chapter

Previous Chapter

Welcome Back. Whether you were just here listening to my beautiful voice, or if you decided to track this here story, I am pleased to see you once more. Where did we leave off? Oh yes! Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Rarity had just agreed to help Rainbow Dash with her prank on Princess Twilight. Ehm. Shall we begin? Great.

Rarity paced back and forth around her boutique. At one moment, she was in the kitchen. In the other, Sweetie's bedroom, and lastly, she would end up back in the workshop. This pattern continued for she had been, well, worried as you could call it. She was the element of generosity. She was to give her best effort and make Rainbow's prank absolutely perfect. But what if it wasn't perfect! What if she let Rainbow Dash down and ruined their friendship! What if Nightmare Night was ruined and Rainbow Dash's reputation for being the best prankster in PonyVille was destroyed. Oh, how would Rarity be able to cope with the guilt of letting down one of her best friends after everything Rainbow Dash has done for her?

Luckily, if she had somewhat failed to operation that would take place two weeks from then, she would at least have Applejack to blame. After all, she would help with the decorations as well. Or maybe...She could mess up the who operation and the fillies would turn out to love it! Although, what would be the possibilities of that of all things happen?

Rarity sighed slightly and made it into the workshop for the seventh time. She sat her rump on the floor slowly and slowly turned her head over to the front door.

"Oh Rarity..What have you gotten yourself into? Sure it was quite a guilt tripping experience when you where working on Sapphire Shores' outfits for her big performance, but Sapphire Shores is just a celebrity!" Rarity stood and began to pace once more. This time, she slowed down and talked to herself in the empty boutique. "But Rainbow Dash is your friend...Not just some stranger. Your reputation would be ruined if you ruined those outfits, but you would be the one in charge of your reputation. But now...If you mess this up you would be the cause of Rainbow's reputation being ruined and that would just be heart wrenching!"

"Oh Rarity!" The muffled voice of Sweetie Belle could be heard from outside the boutique. Rarity turned slowly as she begun to walk up the staircase. Sweetie burst through the doorway. She held a large black paper in her mouth that sprinkled glitter onto the floor every. Sweetie Belle dropped it from her mouth and jumped up in down cheerfully. "Look what I made for you today in class!"

Rarity began to trot over to the drawing. Despite it's appearance with very little signs of actual drawing, which was covered up by  orange and white glitter with blobs of glue in the most unwanted places, Rarity smiled softly. It wasn't the most gorgeous drawing she had ever seen, but it was her sisters. As Rarity squinted her eyes and looked closer at the picture, she had been rather surprised to see, that it was her boutique. Hung upon the outside walls where lit up bats. There were many carved pumpkins as well going down the path. Some where rather frightening, for a filly at least, and others where playful and silly.

"It's...very beautiful Sweetie Belle. When did you have the time to make sure a masterpiece?"

"Today at school! Do you like it!"

"I love it...It is a very generous gift..." Rarity tilted her head slightly and hovered the drawing up over to the wall. She got it nice and flat, than hovered over small pieces of tape to hold it up. "Thank you for the present Sweetie Belle, but I am very busy helping Rainbow Dash plan this year's prank,"

"Rainbow Dash is planning another prank? What after last time? Won't she be embarrassed?"

"Oh no Sweetie Belle. This year is going to be...well...Marvelous! We have everything planned out. It's like a playful haunted house that you and your friends will be able to explore!"

Sweetie Belle began following Rarity around the boutique. From the kitchen, to Rarity's room, to her room, and to the workshop. "What's so scary about a 'haunted' house?"

Rarity stopped in her tracks. She turned over to Sweetie Belle and glanced over to her drawing than back at the little filly that stood in front of her, "Well Sweetie Belle. This year will be extra special. It'll be more terrifying...than...than...Oh I don't know..It's so scary that all the other Halloween pranks and Haunted Houses will be shunned away. No one would even bother remembering them,"

"Really!?" Sweetie Belle gawked at Rarity as she smirked slightly.

"Yup! Just wait and see Sweetie Belle. The best Nightmare Night prank in the history of pranks ever is being planned right at this minute and you can't get any hints about it,"

Sweetie Belle pouted slightly, "Please Rarity?!"

"No. I simply refuse. Now, off to fix your bed. I will be very busy tonight. With planning the decorations for Nightmare Night and getting all the costumes ready in time for the big event," Rarity chuckled slightly and trotted over to Sweetie Belle. She kissed her little sister upon the forehead and shooed her away. Sweetie Belle galloped up the stairs and seemed to disappear into her room from Rarity's point of view.

Rarity chuckled slightly. Despite the fact that she was not a very big fan of the whole, Nightmare Night ordeal, she had been excited. To see Sweetie Belle gawk at the thought of the 'best' Nightmare Night prank in the history of Equestria, was rather charming. She had gotten full support from her sister, a playful drawing which had given her a range of ideas to choose from, and the confidence she needed. Now that she had everything planned out in her head for the decorations, it was time to start working on those costumes again.
