Good Things Are Better When They're A Rarity

The two rode on through Canterlot, ponies were used to the royal conveyance in their midst.  All the ponies recognized Princess Twilight Sparkle.  As such, ponies would bow as they passed.  Twilight was still uncomfortable with the treatment, but Rarity was ‘eating it up’.  Especially when they happened to pass Jet Set and Upper Crust who recognized Rarity from their past snubbing.  Rarity remembered their shock when they saw her being an honored guest of Fancy Pants, but now to see her with a princess.  They realized just how big their social faux pas in the past was.

It wasn’t long before they arrived at the residential section and to a modest size home.  After they got off the cart, the guard bowed and left.

Rarity noticed Twilight was suddenly nervous.

“You’re worried My Love,” said Rarity.

“What if my parents don’t approve?” said Twilight with a tremor in her voice, “I was always afraid to tell them because I was unsure how they’d react.

I love my parents, I’d hate for them to be disappointed or never talk to me again.”

“Twilight Darling,” said Rarity, kissing Twilight’s cheek, “you’ve supported me through a very hard and trying time.  You can expect no less from me My love.  And I’ve met your parents, I’m sure they’d never turn their backs on you.”

Rarity nuzzled Twilight and then the two gave a small kiss.

“Thank you my Dearest Love,” said Twilight.

The two smiled and went to the front door.  Twilight opened it and called out:

“Hello, anypony home?”

A purplish-gray mare with gray and purple mane and tail trotted out to the front room along with a blue stallion with indigo mane and tail.

“Twilight!” they exclaimed.

“We got your note with the bags,” said the mare, “I have tea waiting, after you and your friend take a few moments to freshen up.  Your bags, Twilight, are in your room.  We put your friend’s bags in the guest room.”

Twilight and Rarity gave each other a quick glance and smile.

The parents hugged Twilight and gave her a kiss.  Then hugged Rarity and said how happy they were to see her again.

Twilight showed Rarity where the bathroom was, she was starting to notice that she had started to have to pee more often now that her bladder was starting to be displaced.

It wasn’t long before the two were sitting in the family room, sipping tea and nibbling on tea biscuits.

The talk was light, Rarity kept looking at Twilight, who she could tell was trying to work up the nerve to make their announcements.  But Night Light, Twilight’s father, opened that conversion first.

“So Twilight,” said the Stallion, “is there a special reason you’re here or just feel guilty you haven’t been by in a bit?”

Rarity could tell that that last part was only joking but she was afraid with Twilight’s apprehension, Twilight would take it seriously.

“Mom, dad,” started Twilight, “we’re here for a very special reason.”

“We?” said Twilight Velvet raising an eyebrow.

“Yes,” said Twilight, taking a deep breath, “I’ve held something back from you two for a long time.  I’ve been afraid how you’d react.  I love you two so much and if I did something that’d end that relationship, I’d just die.”

Twilight Velvet and Night Light looked at each other, they had a look of concern on their faces.

“You’re the one who whacked Jimmy Hoofa,” said Night Light joking, “I just knew it.”

Rarity giggled.

“Mom, dad,” continued Twilight, “I need you two to know that I’m a mare-lover, I’ve been attracted to mares for a long time now.”

Twilight paused.

Nothing from her parents.  Twilight continued:

“I’ve brought Rarity with me on this trip because you need to get to know her better,” Twilight took a deep breath…

“She and I are engaged.”

“Engaged?” said Twilight Velvet.

The two parents looked at each other, Night Light just shook his head.

“Twilight,” said the stallion.  “I can’t believe you’re telling us this.  Engaged to a mare?”

“Engaged to this absolutely beautiful mare,” said Twilight Velvet.  “There’s no way that her standards are that low.”

Twilight was unsure of the reaction up to this point.  She reached out and took Rarity’s hoof.

“Twilight,” said the stallion, “I’m really disappointed in you.”

Twilight was about to tear up.

“Disappointed you haven’t told us sooner!” said Night Light not able to hold back the smile any longer.

“That’s the most fantastic news ever!” said Twilight Velvet.

The two older ponies rushed the two lovers and hugged and kissed them both.

When they had calmed down, Twilight then continued.

“Mom, when you hear what else we have to say you’ll not think that was the best news ever.”

“How so?’ asked Twilight’s mom.

Twilight nodded to Rarity.

“Mr. and Mrs. Sparkle,” said Rarity, “Twilight and I are going to have a foal in about eight months, I’m pregnant.”

Twilight had never witnessed her parents react like they did to the announcement.  It was absolute pandemonium.  Night Light broke down in tears of joy, Twilight Velvet jogged in place as she squealed like a little filly.

Again the two older ponies embraced the younger ponies.  Rarity was admonished to only refer to the parents as mom and dad.  Anything else would be seen as an insult.

After they calmed down, the lovers were told to sit back down.  But Twilight found it funny, her mom and dad insisted to sit on the couch with Rarity in the middle.  Twilight Velvet was holding Rarity’s hoof and Night Light had his foreleg around Rarity’s shoulders.

Twilight explained the happenings back a little over three months ago.  Rarity explained about her tragedy and how Twilight had opened her heart to her as nopony had done before.  She even explained how nervous Twilight was about confessing that she was a mare-lover to the parents.

“Honey,” said Twilight Velvet to her daughter, “your father and I have known it for some time.  And mare-lover means nothing to intelligent ponies.

It was obvious to us, we know you so well.  And know we’ve never been anything other than proud of you.  And with what your fiancée has said about how you supported and loved her, it makes us prouder.”

“Don’t take this wrong,” said Night Light, “but we’re prouder of this than when you became a princess.”

“Thank you,” said Twilight, with tears in her eyes, “Celestia has said about the same thing.  And finding love with Rarity is greater to me than when I became a princess as well.”

Rarity smiled at her love.

Then Night Light and Twilight Velvet looked at each other and hugged Rarity and cried out:

“A grandfoal!”

Rarity smiled as the affection for her and her unborn that was poured out from these older ponies.

“Oh, and here I thought you two might be excited about the news,” said Twilight chuckling and joining the hug.

After the excitement died down, Twilight and Rarity collected Rarity’s bag from the guest room and took them into Twilight’s old room.

“You see,” said Rarity, “I told you it’d all be fine.”

Rarity kissed Twilight a small kiss.

“You’re so sure about everything,” said Twilight embracing her fiancée.

“I used to think that too,” said Rarity, “but after what happened, I found I’m not the best judge of anything.  I used to think you were the best friend ever.  Oh Celestia! did I get that wrong.”

Twilight had a puzzled look on her face.

“Silly,” said Rarity giggling, “you’re more than the best of friends.  Your love transcends any labels, I only strive to love you back as much.”

The two tightened their embrace.  Then they started to put their things away.

Rarity looked around the room.  Rarity had always been meticulous about keeping her room tidy when she was a filly.  But this room made hers look a mess.

There was a small desk and loads of bookshelves.  The bed was a little surprising, it was large for a kid’s room.  It was almost as big as hers back at the Carousel Boutique.

Rarity got a devious smile and Twilight saw it.

“What?” asked Twilight.

Rarity slunk over to her love and gave a small kiss.

“So, because you were a virgin before I got my hooves on you,” said Rarity in a seductive voice. “This bed has never seen any ‘action’.  Do you think it can stand up to our ‘getting it on’?”

Twilight smiled and grabbed Rarity.

“Only one way to find out,” said Twilight.

Twilight kissed Rarity deeply as she pulled her to the bed.

“But what if your parents find out,” said Rarity as if they were fillies in school.

“I’m a princess,” said Twilight, straddling Rarity’s head, her marehood over her love’s muzzle.  “I’ll command them to be silent or I’ll banish them to the Everfree Forest.”

Rarity giggled as she started to work on Twilight’s love organ.  Twilight quickly returned the favor.

A couple of hours later as the couple were in a light sleep after their lovemaking there was a knock on the door.  Twilight Velvet stuck her head in and giggled.

“Are you two just going to fornicate the whole time you’re here or are you going to join the family?”

Rarity giggled, Twilight blushed.

“They caught us,” said Rarity laughing, “they’re going to tell my parents and they’ll never let us see each other again.”

“That won’t happen,” said Twilight Velvet.  “we didn’t say anything to Princesses Celestia and Luna when we actually caught Shining and Cadence in the act.  Well, just after the act, but we could hear them.  Night was going to barge in on them, but I said if they were going to be embarrassed, at least let them finish.”

“What?” said Rarity and Twilight together.

The mother giggled.

“They weren’t paying attention to the time, Twilight was taking a nap and Night and I came home a little early.” Said the mother hardly keeping back the laughter, “you should’ve seen their faces when they went into the bathroom to clean up and Night and I were standing in there waiting for them  We were giving them our best disapproving scowls.

I had the two wrapped around my hoof for years!”

“You have the coolest parents ever,” said Rarity smiling at this information, “my parents would have ‘freaked out’.

They all laughed.

“Well,” said Twilight Velvet, “we’re going out to eat.  So if the two of you aren’t up and ready in a half hour, you’ll just have to find something cold here.”

The older mare smiled and left.

It didn’t take the whole half hour, but Rarity found time to touch up her makeup and put on a nice dress.  She had even brought along some dresses for Twilight.  And to Twilight’s slight discomfort, Rarity had managed to get Twilight’s tiara and insisted she wear it while she was nicely dressed.  Twilight relented and tried to look the part of a princess to please Rarity.  She got the feeling that once Rarity was coroneted as Princess Consort, Rarity would have Twilight wearing it more.  But anything to please her love.

“You two look beautiful,” said Night Light with a grin, “Your Highness.”

“Thank you,” said Twilight blushing.  “The tiara was Rarity’s idea, she wants me to embrace being a princess more than anypony around.”

“Thank you,” said Rarity.  “But I’m going to have to make some new dresses for myself soon.  This is starting to get tight.”

“You’re just going to have to start to make room for our foal,” said Twilight smiling.

The grins from the parents were just as large.

“I-de-a!” exclaimed Rarity, “a new line of maternity couture!”

“That’s my Rarity,” said Twilight.

The ponies laughed as they left the Sparkle home and went to one of the nicest restaurants in Canterlot.

They had a good time eating and then they went to a little pub the parent ponies would frequent.

Rarity was a little disappointed that she couldn’t have her favorite wine while with foal.

After a while just talking and enjoying the company of each other, Rarity had to excuse herself to go to ‘The Little Filly’s’ room.

“I’ll go with you,” said Twilight.

“Unless you actually have to ‘go’,” said Rarity giving her love a small kiss, “it won’t be necessary.  I’m a big filly now.”

It didn’t take long for Rarity to return, and at this point, she’d wished Twilight had went with her.  Her look spoke volumes.

“Honey,” said Twilight, “what’s wrong?”

“I saw, him!” said Rarity.

“Sky Watcher?” asked Twilight.

“Yes,” said Rarity, about to cry, “I heard his voice and looked at the bar, he was sitting with some mare, he saw me at the same time.  I couldn’t tell what his reaction was, but I came right back here.”

Rarity sat and was heroically fighting tears of fear and rage.

“Mom,” said Twilight, “please watch Rarity for me.  Dad, please come with me.”

“Sure thing Sweetie,” said Twilight Velvet taking Rarity’s hoof.

Rarity had given a description of the stallion already, and she said that his telescope cutie mark was obvious.

At the bar there were no stallions that matched the description.

“Hey bartender,” called out Night Light.

“Yeah,” said the bartender, “what can I do for you?”

“There was a blue Unicorn stallion just here,” said Night Light, “where did he go.”

“Look buddy,” said the barkeep, “my clients like to be left alone to enjoy themselves.  Their business is their own.  So if you ain’t the police, Princess Celestia or Luna, then I can’t help you.”

The bartender turned back to what he was doing, Night Light nodded to his daughter, she understood.

“What about Princess Twilight Sparkle?” called out Twilight spreading her wings.

Several ponies near stopped talking and were looking at Twilight.  The bartender turned and saw the purple Alicorn wearing a tiara.

“Your Highness,” said the pony bowing.  “I didn’t see you there.  My apologies, what was it I can do for you?”

“My father just asked about a blue stallion with a telescope cutie mark.” Said Twilight in an official voice, “if you know anything, then you better tell it.  He’s a wanted criminal and if you’re knowingly holding back information, then I’ll have to make sure such illegal operations are closed permanently.”

“No princess,” said the stallion, “I wouldn’t protect any criminal!  My bar is above board and caters to honest ponies.

He’s been here for the last few nights, always coming on to the mares.  That ain’t no crime or most of my male patrons would be hauled away.”

Despite the situation the trio did chuckle at the comment.

“So what can you say about him?” asked Night Light.

“Not much,” said the barkeep, “I heard him tell one mare that his place wasn’t far from here.  That’s all I know princess, honest!

But if you do find him, let me know.  He skipped out of here and didn’t pay his tab.”

“I’ll keep that in mind,” said Twilight.

“Thank you princess,” said the stallion bowing.

Twilight and her father returned to their table.

“He skipped out Sweetheart,” said Twilight to Rarity, “apparently you spooked him as much if not more than he did you.”

“As long as you’re with me,” said Rarity, “I know I’m safe.”

The two kissed and the parents smiled at the affection being shown.

“My Darling,” said Twilight, “I’ll never let anything happen to you if I can help it.  You and our child are my life now.  All else is second.”

“Thank you,” said Rarity to Night Light and Twilight Velvet.

“For what?” asked the mother pony.

Rarity put a foreleg around Twilight.

“For raising such a wonderful daughter,” said Rarity, “I’m so blessed to be included into such a wonderful family.”

“You’re very welcome,” said Twilight Velvet, “and thank you for loving our daughter so much.  We always knew Twilight would end up with a special pony.  But we see we greatly underestimated the pony she’d end up with.”

There were hugs around the table.

“Well this is enough excitement,” said Night Light, “let’s get home and turn in for the night.  We can worry about boogie-ponies later.”

They all chuckled and left for the Sparkle home.
