The Secret Needs of a Generous Heart

The sun was about to set on Equestria, filling it with the cold embrace of darkness aided by the moons soft and soothing light that would later lull the inhabitants into there nightly rest. All except a young brown alicorn galloping to the aid of Rarity, one of his closest friends.

"Oh Celesta! pleas let her be all right." he uttered as he sped past Sugar Cube Corner. He thought back to his discussion with Twilight, his roommate of almost three years.

"Star come quick!" she shouted for him from the other room with an urgent tone.

"Yes Twi, what is it?"

"It's Rarity. She sent me an urgent message using her magic. She said that she 'NEEDS' you at the Carousel Boutique now!"

"OK. Did she say anything else"

"No, and there's no time to talk about it just GO!" He galloped out of the castle as fast he could.

His memory was interrupted by tripping over a rock, he recovered from nearly face planting into the dirt and kept running. He then began wondering what was happening to Rarity as he sped down the street.

"What if her shelf of gem stones fell on her?! What if there's a wild animal from the Everfree with rabies?!" Then his thoughts took a turn into a weird area of his mind "WHAT IF THE MANNEQUINS CAME TO LIFE AND ATTACKED.... WITH LASERS?!?!?" He then returned to his original, only slightly insane, state of mind "And on top of all that, Sweetie Belle is at the CMC's club house for there weekly slumber party. So she isn't there to help Rarity until i get there."

He darted past Macintosh pulling an incredibly large cart of apples, past Pinkie at Confetti Palace, and zoomed past Fluttershy and Discord. Star's extreme speed sent Flttuershy twirling into a nearby shrub with a loud crash and kept running. Discord snapped his fingers, and with a bright flash Star was suddenly materialized in his grasp.

"What are you doing, put me down!!" he shouted with four of his legs wiggling in the air

"Frowningstar, how are you doing? Well I hope. And were are you off to in such a hurry? Why, you didn't even have enough time to apologize to poor old ButterShy."

"It's 'Morningstar' and Rarity asked for my help and every minute I spend not running to her aid is a minute she could be in mortal danger, so could you please put me down?" Star never could have anticipated Discord, The Lord of Chaos, actually complying and putting him down. Perhaps it was the urgency in his voice that compelled the draconequus to listen to his request. Star apologized to Fluttershy and continued to Gallop to his friend.

His hooves formed a cloud of dust behind him as he expended most of his energy and physical strength into his running. A huge smile came across his face as he saw the Boutique was still in one piece. He slowed as he came to the extravagant purple door, nearly damaging it, pushed it open.
