The First

The First

Rarity was a very proper lady seen as a paragon of virtue in the public eye, a Fashion designer a national heroine
a pony of style and unmatched grace so what was bugging her besides her little sister Sweetie Belle?

She looked in the mirror her hair up in curlers her coat frizzed out and her ponypetty scuffed with days of hard work she was a total mess.

"My dear Opalessence what ever shall I do? If I arrive too early I'll look like a desperate spinster on the prowl for a beef cake
and if I arrive too late? A disinterested cat lady destined to wither away feeding pidgins in the park alone donning the latest fashions.

She knew she was a vane high maintenance drama queen and even with the numerous friends and business partners she felt
an urge to have a family of her own, you know a prince or a noble at her side standing tall and proud.
Just like the trophy husband she rightly deserved after all she worked hard for a good one.
But who was also able to cook clean and service her every need. Cater to her every whim, What some in Equestria would call a slave?
No no no no just a nice pony to call her own and grow old with. Yes that type of companion a soul mate, maybe.

Rarity continued her transformation at the vanity from overworked business mare to Wonder Mare the Stallion killer of Ponyville.
If her looks didn't bring her the A game then her style and grace would draw in the dream boats but with all that bling she was lucky
to impress Hayseed Turnip Truck.

"Opal why do I even bother? I am Rarity I should be capable of handling a guy a prince a stallion! I shouldn't be so hard on myself".

Sadly with all that high performance and chrome comes the high maintenance that goes with it. Oh boy do all the guys know it.

....oOo....

"Come on Twilight spill the beans! We all know Rarity's going out tonight who's the lucky guy?" Pinkies eyes bugged out like two
over inflated beach balls "You can't do this to me I want to know. Please please please "

Twilight trotted out of the castle "It's bad enough Spike locked himself in his room and Rarity said not to tell anypony especially you".

"But Twilight" Pinkie pleaded "I want to help a party always helps. . ."

"NO Pinkie, no party cannons, no party music and no cake". Pinkies mouth hung to the ground as a mouse made a mad dash for the cheese.

"NO Cake? no music? Why Twilight how can Rarity have any fun with out the fun stuff?" Pinkies disbelief was well beyond Discord.

"Rarity wants this to be the most romantic date she has ever had " Twilight grabbed Miss Pie by the neck "Rarity thinks she's getting

too old for foals and wants everything to go perfect, I haven't even seen Spike after he heard about it". The mouse ate the cheese.

"Poor Spikey" Pinkies hair fizzled flat "He's always had a crush on her and she has the hooves to hurt him like this?"

"Spike's stronger than you think remember Trenderhoof?" Twilight nudged her with a hoof "He understands, it's part of growing up".

"So who's the luck guy?" Pinkie quizzed the book horse "Who who who who ?" The mouse looked for more cheese.

"I don't know she didn't tell me" Twilight dimmed at her unicorn friends lack of 'trust' in not at least giving her the name of her date.

"Pinkie she did give me the name of the place she's meeting him at!"

"Wowser!" The mouse found more cheese.

"But she left out the time".

"Crappers" The mouse burped. Pinkie liked the mouse too.

.....oOo.....

The place for the date was the only joint in Ponyville suitable for a romantic evening nestled next to the bowling ally down the way
from the Big Oat Burger fast food stand and the Dairy Princess.

Pinkie, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Apple Jack and Fluttershy all crammed in a side booth at the Don Pardon' hiding behind their menus
How was it they found out was not just Twilights big mouth but being a city of Ponyvilles size and lack of entertainment sort of helped.
Not to mention being a Princess gets you extra bread sticks before you order that meal you mostly can't afford.

The group sat for two hours forty two and a half minutes before a lone figure passed through the eatery escorted by the owner.
He had a blue coat and a white scarf the ponies looked for a cutie mark but the light was just too dim as he moved through the shadows
taking a seat in the far back a booth set up with candles and roses it was a truly romantic setting to foster a night of unbridled passion.

Pinkie sighed "Poor Spikey Rarity should be taking him out instead".

Apple Jack cooed "I bet he's a stud".

Fluttershy whispered "If Rarity strikes out I wouldn't mind a go at him - if she doesn't mind - if he wants me to - if you girls don't have a
problem with his going out with me ok?"

"Wow Fluttershy I didn't know you liked totally unknown dark and dangerous strangers" Pinkie whispered back.

"Eepp!"

Twilight quietly announced the coming of the Lady of Fashion and all the menus became a fortress of illustrated foods topped
with eyes for battlements at the ready, Set and ready for the start of battle of the sexes one mare one strange dark stallion.

They could see Rarity was nervous as she came to the table covered in roses and candles, the figure raised to greet her and her
hoof was taken. A gentle kiss was placed on her fresh ponypetty as everypony in the menu fortress gasped and Rarity gushed.
Raritys blush lit up the booth, Her date was a true gentlecolt stranger helping her take her place in the booth of romance.

Raritys mind raced having such an intimate setting was quite different than the girls night out or the usual gatherings she
became used to. Yes Rarity all work and no romance gets you a load of Turnip Trucks and beggars are not at liberty to choose.

Pinkie and the rest watched the two engage in small talk the local noise enough to mask the lovers plot if they had one.

"Drat I want to hear more!" Twilight moaned "What are they talking about?"

"Beats me sugar cube pass me another bread stick"

"She's talking how she's been waiting for somepony to sweep her off her hooves but waiting has been such a pain in the flank".
Pinkie continued "And he says he's been waiting too . . . and would you like some more wine?"

"Why that snake in the grass wants to liquor Rarity up and take advantage of her!"

"She's a grown mare but we'll follow her just in case".

"I'll buck his tail to the Everfree Forest that's so not cool".

The meal continued into the wee hours of the morning Rarity was enjoying herself a little too much as the others saw it.

She was a mare in total bliss the date was all she ever wanted he wasn't pushy the food was great her resolve was soon to be tested
the kiss for his reward for being a gentlecolt was in order, she thought back how she kissed Spike for his generosity when he gave her
the fire ruby but this was now. Her future hung in the balance was this Mister Right? The pressure was on! Her eyes looked deeply
into his she could see that he too was more nervous than she was. holding her hooves he leaned in for his prize sweat pouring
off his brow his heart beat racing along with hers two that where born to be as one, She could see her children in his eyes.

They closed the gap over the top of the table their lips about to touch. . .CRASH!

.....oOo.....

The group saw Rarity faint on the spot face planting the main dish of the evening special, the Squid Linguini Don Pardon' in a fine
tomato and scallion sauce brimming with olives, peril onions and feta cheese. with a complementary side of Cesar salad and bread sticks.
Drinks and wine extra only twenty nine bits with the half off coupon Tuesdays and Thursdays a Managers Special.

"Not only did he liquor her up but he's a cheap skate! Twenty nine bits half off!" Pinkie Pie roared as the group charged the scene.

"I got first kick" yelled Rainbow Dash her short leap putting her at a tactical location of high cover.

"I got Rarity " Apple Jack laid down the law "Ya mess with one ya mess with the whole bunch" her Mr. Kicks Magillicutty at the ready.

"I'm here with the bread sticks if you don't mind I see you all have everything under control". Fluttershy watched the guy in
the blue coat and the white scarf kneel down next to the fallen Rarity reaching for the stricken dove as the tsunami of hooves closed in.
"Oh my it's. . ."

Twilight fired a "Stop" spell at all the 'lets turn this guy into rice pudding party' While yelling at the top of her lungs for them to STOP!

They looked down at Rarity her head laid on a folded blue coat her muzzle being cleaned with the white scarf her eyes fluttering open.

"Well who'd thunk this up?" AJs unwound her kick to a light step.

"Twilight it's,Twilight it's, Twilight it's!" Pinkie bounced off the walls her energy ready to power a city the size of Phillydelphia.

Rainbow looked from the ceiling "Yo you going to finish that ? All I got was bread sticks" her belly rumbling like a thunder cloud.

Fluttershy floated over for a closer look.

"Spike?" Twilight asked nopony in general

"I'm So sorry my precious scales this is most certainly a first for me" Rarity put her hooves to both sides of the poor drakes snout
and pulled him close for a kiss of a lifetime their lips mashing together.

Spikes world went dark the last thing he saw where the children in her eyes.

Take Two

Take Two

Spike and Rarity cuddled quietly at Twilights castle. After the face plant into the main course and mini riot at thee
Don Pardon' the night before.

It was a wise choice to just take it easy for this night, After all the mess Twilight made along with the ever famous Equesrtias heros
Mr. Pardon was not in the mood to pardon the interlopers that ate his free bread sticks without ordering any meals at all,
Let alone having Rainbow Dash eat all the left overs that Spike had paid for.

But that was last night, tonight was going to be different tonight was going to be quiet, romantic, private, a perfect night for two.
He turned looking at her features like a goddess of fluff and fashion, she in turn let out a small breath and nervously giggled.
They closed in for a little kiss shutting their eyes to all the world and smelling each other scents, smooth scales soft lips
oh how the excitement was growing, At last the smell of bubble gum?

"Spikey dear you know it's quite rude to kiss a lady with a mouth full of gum" she whispered softly.

"I thought it was your perfume".

"I can hear your chewing I certainly hope you don't make those cracking noises that those uncouth colts would do".

"What? " Spike was at a loss "You know gems are my thing".

They cracked open their eyes the darkness giving no clue... A blinding flash of pink!

"How's the date going?"

After a brief scream of panic Rarity looked at the culprit "Miss PIE! You scared us half to death what are you doing here?"

"Well at the restaurant Mr. Pardon had us cleaning dishes and waiting tables and I took a little break to see if you two needed anything
to make your date go better, like whipped cream and cherries or chocolate sauce and sprinkles...Well what do ya say?"

"Pinkie dear for one you can help calm down my Spikey Wikey so I can get him off the ceiling with out doing too much damage to the crystal structure".

"Oh".

After Pinkies prying tugging and pulling with Spike, Rarity was at a loss, using her magic she lightly wiggled his claws
one by one bit by bit until he was freed from his upside down world. Surrounded by her glow he was back into her comforting hooves.

"Thanks Rarity I didn't think my reputation would survive having Twilight catch me hanging around like that, thanks".

"Think nothing of it shall we resume, What was it we where doing before we where so rudely interrupted?"

"Sure, Hey Pinkie left the whipped cream and stuff are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Oh Spikey you scandalous rascal".

With the whip cream and chocolate sauce spread out with a sprinkling of cherries covering bits of ice cream pleasure.

Spike dolloped whipped cream on the end of Raritys snout causing crossed eyes and a faux cross tone from the mare "Spikey?"

"Oh ah let me get that" as his nervous claws went for the napkins a sigh went out in defeat of his prank went wrong.

Magic glowed as Spikey Wikey went from sitting to a full spinning face plant into her mound of whipped topping. His snout fully
covered in the sweet confections his mind was warped his heart racing ' This isn't going to end well, I'm sooooo dead'
Spikes second strike out came to an end as he heard giggles as her lips moved from his snout cheeks and eyes cleaning his face
of all the different dairy products or was it some of the new nondairy type?
It was hard to tell with out reading the labels and at this moment in time Spike didn't care.

"So you think a lady can't have a bit of fun?" she mused licking her muzzle with a satisfied smile.

Spike was lost in wonderland as she sat him back on the couch his face clear as well as his hunger to continue. Let the goodies flow!

They talked and cuddled late into the night as the sweet supplies added new tastes and textures to their sweet date until the door
creaked open the private moment put on pause or so you would think.

Twilight quietly snuck up on the two her horn glowing faintly as she approached slowly step by step she wanted to surprise them
after all she wanted her best friend and her assistant to have some fun but not too much fun. Twilight edged her way closer
her eyes focusing on the carnage her pupils shrank as the debauchery was too much even for a seasoned Princess of friendship.

She was ready to give them the lecture of a lifetime for the mess till she heard the half sleeping coos coming from the two stuffed
lovers whispering sweet little nothings and thanking Twilight for the chance of having some quiet time.
Twilight recomposed her thoughts and figured better to scold them for the mess later .

The quiet of the crystal castle was comforting as Rarity and Spike softly snored cuddled in hooves and arms curls and tails.
Twilight interrupted her before nap routine for a late night snack.
Opening the door to the fridge,
She came upon a sight that pushed her over the edge mess or no mess she did have her limits!

"SPIKE! RARITY! YOU HAVE SOME EXPLAINING TO DO! WHERE IN CELESTIA WENT ALL MY ICE CREAM!?! "

Pinkie popped out of her oat pudding along with a mouse with a mouth full of cheese.

You know the container next to the leftover wheat loaf or was it soy meat cake? That nopony eats... Ever.

"Well Duh! They had a really big ice cream date!"

Twilight has yet to fully recover the royal Doctor couldn't tell if it was the lack of ice cream or the over abundance of a Pinkie Pie.
