Adagio wrapped her arms around the sad fashionista. It would be so easy to just say yes, get to spend her time with the fine young woman. Get to explore her and... Adagio scowled at herself. She’d enjoy that on a physical level but she wasn't going to emotionally abuse the poor thing like that. She still needed to answer Rarity’s question as to why she wasn't a good choice to date. ”Because pretty girl, I'm not... I'm not nice. I mean we argue all the time. We’re like two pegasi w... Yeah, you don't know that saying... We’re like water and oil.” Adagio couldn't keep herself from gently stroking that beautiful hair as Rarity more or less laid atop her.

”No.” Adagio took a moment to register that Rarity had just disagreed with her. Looking up at her Adagio could see the tears glistening in Rarity’s eyes. But they were, as of yet, unshed. ”Yes we butt heads, but you're nice.” Adagio opened her mouth to protest but Rarity continued. ”You were so concerned about me you thought to warn me.”

Adagio shook her head, she had to put an end to this line of thought. ”Just because I don't want to emotionally wreck you...”

Rarity smiled and leaned in, shutting Adagio up with a gentle kiss on the lips. ”You could have blackmailed me after that slap. You could have had me fired. You had some... Fun but even after I rejected you, you didn't try anything.”

Adagio pursed her lips in annoyance. ”Now really just because I'm not trying to ruin your life...”

Rarity smiled faintly. ”And who’s paying for Sonata to go to college?”

Adagio frowned at the change in subject. ”Huh? I told you I am. It's not like she has money Rarity.”

”Sounds pretty nice to me.” Adagio scowled again and opened her mouth as Rarity interrupted her. But this time with a softer voice like how Adagio had earlier. ”I don’t think I'm the only one holding onto an old dream.”

Adagio opened her mouth before she stopped, leaning back slightly in the chair. Pulling Rarity a bit closer to her as she groaned. ”Oh, you're fucking kidding me...”

Rarity giggled a little as she nuzzled into the other woman. ”You're not evil anymore Adagio. You're even... A bit sweet, in a clumsy way.” Adagio sighed and wrapped her arms around the white girl.

”Ugh, can't you girls just leave me alone and let me live out my life how I want to?” Adagio was irritated, but if she was honest with herself she wasn't very irritated.

Rarity frowned and sat up slightly, adopting a more serious voice. ”That time yes. But if you want me to leave you be now and you just continue to... Eep!” she let out a small sound of surprise ad Adagio grabbed her and pulled her back down into cuddle territory.

Adagio grinned gently, holding Rarity close to her and slowly stroking her hair. ”This isn't me agreeing, just so we're clear here, Rarity." Though they both knew that it was Adagio agreeing; she had to ease herself into such a change in lifestyle.

Rarity grinned as she nuzzled into the model, closing her eyes. She had to admit she still would have preferred to be snuggling with Applejack but she also had to accept that wasn't how her life was going to play out. Adagio had turned over a new leaf, and despite them butting heads she was actually kind underneath it all. Rarity had to also, secretly admit that Adagio being obscenely hot didn't hurt her opinion on the matter. Rarity would have preferred an immediate admittance but if Adagio needed some time she supposed that was the least she could give the other woman. Though she couldn't help taking on a mock earnest voice. "Oh of course darling. This is just you wanting to snuggle a cutie like myself."

Adagio snickered and nodded. "Exact... Oh, damn it!" Rarity looked up in surprise as Adagion rolled her eyes. "If... I repeat, IF. We were to be in a relationship you'd expect me to stop my consorting with other girls, wouldn't you?"

Rarity shot upright, glaring at Adagio now, frowning and putting her hands on her hips. "Of course I would! And furthermore! The fact that you even have to ask is a grave insult to my noble personage!"

Adagio grinned. "There's the firey spirit I was looking for." Rarity's eyes widened and she blushed faintly.

"You did that on purpose!"

"Of course I did pretty girl." Rarity let out a small harumph but laid back on top of Adagio, closing her eyes as she laid her head against the other woman's neck again. Missing Adagio's relieved flush, she absolutely hadn't done that on purpose, but she thanked whatever power or powers that be that she was a quick thinker, that could have turned out a lot worse than it had.

After about ten minutes of Rarity laying contentedly on her new girlfriend and Adagio still adjusting to the idea, the knock at the door pulled them both out of their stupor. Rarity bolted off the other girl's lap, quickly running her hands over her dress to get all the wrinkles out and get herself presentable, quickly stealing Adagio's mirror for the purpose. Adagio chuckled but was kind enough to let Rarity get her self care done before she turned her chair towards the door, she wasn't getting surprised again this morning. "Come."

Red Drop pushed the door open with a large pile of paper that Adagio recognized as about a thousand pictures. She groaned but quickly cut herself off at a raised eyebrow from Red Drop. "Hello Miss Dazzle, Miss Rarity. I have these for you to sign Miss Dazzle." He walked in and put down the twenty pounds of paper in front of Adagio who sighed but nodded.

"Yep, I'll get them done as quick as I can." Adagio smiled in apology at Rarity who nodded, smiling at Red Drop herself.

"Well, I'll let you get to that then darling, we can continue our talk later." Rarity gave a small nod to Adagio and Red Drop before quickly retreating from the room.

Red Drop raised an eyebrow at Adagio. "I do hope I didn't interrupt anything."

Adagio waved a hand dismissively. "Just talking, nothing important."

Red Drop nodded and turned, waving over his shoulder as he left. "You have a good day, Miss Dazzle."

Adagio waved a hand as she pulled the first glamor shot of her over. "Yeah, yeah, you too slave driver."

Hours later Adagio groaned as she signed the second to last paper, looking down at the last paper she saw it wasn't a photo. She frowned and picked it up looking it over.

Adagio glared at the door that Red Drop had left through earlier. "You magical bastard..."

Author's Note

Is it bad that I'm inordinately proud of the fact I didn't have Red Drop say Adagio had to sign "pictures" just said that she had to sign everything he was holding?
