Red Roses and Sunshine Drops

Rarity wakes up and yawns, when the light from the window glares into her eyes. She covers them quickly with her hooves and gets up to find a paper on her table. She blinks a couple of times and levitates it, her eyes flickering carefully over the writing.

To my dearest Rarity,

You fell asleep and I did not want to bother you, it seemed you were having pleasant dreams. If you want me to come over send me a letter, if possible. I can't wait to get comfortable in my home and what you ponies here say, "hang out".

From your friend, Fancypants

She holds the letter tightly and sighs happily, her heart fluttering at the delicate writing and the kind words. Suddenly, Rarity thinks she should do something for Fancypants, but she sighs and remembers Sweetie Belles soft tone and kind words.

"Miss Cheerilee always said never to sin, Rarity! Its not kind to other ponies."

Sweetie Belle was right, but if you wanted to surprise somepony, you had to lie. What else were you supposed to do?

Rarity mutters and curses a little under her breath, and then levitates the pen and paper she had. She taps her muzzle with her hoof and then begins to write.

"To my dearest Fancypants,

I would love for you to come over but I need to work on something Opal is sick, and I needed to take her to Fluttershy to see what is wrong. I'm terribly sorry but maybe another time?

From your friend, Rarity"

Rarity reads over and sighs, and then uses her magic to send it to Fancypants.

Fancypants smiles as the workers bring his boxes into his house and he drinks his tea when suddenly-

Wherrrp!

A letter appears on the ground and he leviates it. He unfolds it and skims the letter and sighs. He wished he could come over and "hang out" with Rarity, but if Opal was sick, how could he confess his love?

The workers snort as the last box goes in the house, and Fancypants hands them some bits, and they nod. He thanks them again as they drive off in the carriage.

Fancypants trots into his house to admire it. It was a new, but it needed some fumigating, because he saw an occasional spider inch across the wall carefully.

He sighs again and begins to unpack, thinking about Rarity constantly.

Rarity, I love you. But how can I tell you?

***

Rarity sighs in relief as Fluttershy comes in.

"Fluttershy, dearest, I'm so glad your here!" Rarity says, levitating Opal onto Fluttershys back.

"Why did you need me to take Opal again...?" Fluttershy says in a curious tone. Raritys eyes shrink as she quickly looks around the room.

"Alright ALRIGHT! I need you take Opal because Fancypants moved into Ponyville and I lied and said Opal was sick so I could make him something and--"

"Woah! Slow down Rarity...If you need me to take Opal for lots of reasons you don't need to explain to me...But when do you want me to bring her back?" Fluttershy says.

"Just bring her back by...." Rarity spots her calender and with a marker, she circles Friday. Today was Monday, so hopefully Rarity had time.

Fluttershy nods and smiles and Rarity closes the door, sighing in relief. She mutters things and beings to start the design on what she chose, a tuxedo for Fancypants.

***

Late that night, Fancypants woke up from a horrible dream. He pants violently from it and tries to think of Rarity, but he is too tired to think of anything.

He sighs and rests his head again, hoping he could confess his love soon.

Rarity, I love you. But how can I show you?
