Sugarcube corner was always calm this time of day, especially with it being a school day, it meant there would be no little foals to run about.

Rarity and the other elements were seated at one of the outside tables, each mare sipping their respective drink as they talked about the only thing mares seemed to talk about. Colts.

Rainbow Dash, as was her nature, sat there bragging about her many supposed sexual escapades.

Rarity, caught in her own head only caught the tail end of Rainbow Dash bragging. "I got two colts to do me at the same time, ya know?" Rainbow Dash puffed her chest proudly, as the mare bragged.

"Yeah darlin' we know, you tell us ever'time we get talkin' about colts." applejack replies, rolling her eyes, she turns to Rarity next.

"Ya'seem a lil out of it today Rarity, Somethin on your mind?" She asked the fashionista.

Rarity snapped out of her though, playfully batting a hoof, "Oh don't worry about me darling. Just caught up in my work is all." She assured them.

"That so?" Applejack asked, raising an brow. "Talkin about 'work', Whats this I been hear'in about you hire'in a stallion ta' work in your shop, aye Rare?" She asked her playfully, jabbing her elbow into the mares side.

Rarity froze, looking up from her tea, she saw all eyes on her.

Rainbow Dash spoke first. "Is that true Rarity?" Rarity couldn't help the nervous little chuckle escaping her, the mare rubbing her neck "W-well I uh... you know what, no." She said firmly, shaking her head. "I know what your thinking and NO! I did not hire some stallion to be my personal colt-toy." She gave each of them a glare, "Raven Feather is a kind, independent stallion, for whom i have the utmost respect for."

"You wanna buck his brains out, don't 'cha?" asked Rainbow leaning over the table with a big smirk.

"Yyeeessssss." Rarity whined. "You have no idea how hard it is to live with such a Colt."

Rarity drops her head on the table, releasing a whine. "Hes so cute and sweet. And he wears socks! Aaaaall the time. I Cant. Handle. It...." She whined even louder.

Each mare had a little chuckle at there friends whining. "Well tell us about him, I wanna know what makes him so alluring." asked Twilight with that nerdy little smile she always wore when talking about colts.

Rarity, after composing herself addressed her friends. "Well if theirs one thing you're to know about Raven, its that he's not like your average stallion."

"While he does cooks and cleans, hes assured me it's out of gratitude, and not some sort of courting. He gets along with Sweetie Bell like you wouldn't believe, it's beautiful. And above all
he simply refuses any sort of relief. And I mean anything. Magic, blowjobs, anything at all"

The other elements were absolutely shocked to hear this.

A stallion.

Independent. This was unheard of. Stallions were cute fluffy little things, to fragile to care for themselves and constantly required relief and attention. "Well, whats he look like?" asked Pinkie Pie, slurping on her oversized milkshake.

Rarity sighed. "Oohh my Celestia.If I've ever seen a more beautiful Stallion, I don't know when~" She purred, "He has the most beautiful Raven black coat and the the cutest white freckles across his face." She swooned.

"And his wings have all of these beautiful white spots. When he flares them up its like a field of stars that would make even Luna blush. AND his hair!" She practically gawked. "His hair is smoother then silk and whiter than fresh snow." Rarity seemed entranced.

The elements all sat there, imagining the stallion "Ya' know, I' been think'in about gettin' myself a Coltfriend." Applejack mussed thoughtfully, hoove gently trailing around his glass.

"Don't even think about it sister." Snapped Rarity, slamming her hoof on the table. "And that goes for the rest of you as well. None of you are to lay a hoof on him."

"Aawwwww, but he sounds so sexxyyy." whined Pinkie Pie.

"Too bad." replied Rarity. "Raven Feather is mine and none of you are gonna get him into bed before I do."

"Gee, what happened to "someone I have the utmost respect for"?" Asked Rainbow Dash smugly.

"Well how about a compromise?" asked twilight, the elements all turned to look at her. "What sort of compromise?" Rarity asked wary of the other elements.

"Its simple. It seems like each of us are looking for a Coltfriend, right?' That got nod from each of them. "Well then the answers simple. We all herd him." She spoke like it was the most logical thing in the world.

"No." deadpanned Rarity.

"Oh come on Rarity at least listen to what i have to say." Twilight frowned, each element now staring at her.

"Fiiiiiiine." Rarity conceded, propping herself on her elbow. "Alright its simple, each one of us are looking for a Coltfriend to herd, right?" all of the elements nod, Rarity giving a dull one herself.
"And we know we can all get along right?" Again, the elements each gave a nod. "So its simple, we'll all try to herd with this Raven Feather."

The other 5 elements mused over the idea. "Wait, hold on, wait'ta minute." Applejack but in.

"Rarity you said he was 'independent stallion' right?" Rarity simply nodded. "And hes turned down any advance you've made to Buck, right?" Rarity nodded a second time. "So what makes you think he'll just, up and herd with six ponies, when he wont even let the mare who cares for him buck him?"

the question stumped them all, 'how would they get him?' ran through each of there heads.

"Rarity?" Twilight asked. "What?" rarity replied, expecting something she wouldn't like. "Do you honestly think you could get Raven feather to herd with you?"

All eyes were on rarity, clearing her throat she replied. "Yes. No... Maybe." She sighed, rubbing her face, "I believe I could court him quite easily. As for the rest of you, that's an entirely different matter." she finished, looking over each of them.

"How so?" asked Rainbow Dash, the rest of the elements seemed to agree. "Well you see..." She began, "When Raven Feather came to me, he was in a very fragile state. He'd trained for years to work as a seamstress, but every time he tried he was treated like either a wounded pup or some... call-colt." She finished with a scowl.

"He tried so hard to prove himself. But every time he was belittled or taken advantage of by those mares." Her throat suddenly dry Rarity took a sip of tea trying to stay composed. "And when he finally came to me... He was so scared of being rejected again, he cried when he thought I might reject him."

"I don't know what Raven Feathers early life was like, but he seems so cautious of mares he even seems wary of me on occasion. But I've been doing my best to prove I was worth trusting and I believe it's been working." Rarity was struggling to stay composed.

"I don't think he has anypony else and he absolutely refuses to talk about his mother. I don't want to risk losing him by forcing a relationship..." She took a steady breath, "But I feel confident, that If done carefully, he may be willing to herd with us."

"So were really gonna do this?" asked Applejack, looking at each mare at the table.

"I guess so." replied twilight, the princess too looking about the table.

"Well I guess I should get back to work then." She told them all. "ill be going first of course. Afterwards, ill introduce the rest of you. Good day ladies." With that Rarity stood and began walking sown the street, a sense of determination in her steps.
