Rarity the Marefriend for Hire

Ten minutes before 8 pm the date, Rarity stepped out of the taxi. Paying the driver in cash that she had taken out of her purse. For a second she was worried that she might not have enough money in it, but her worries wern't justified when looking thru it and pulling out the required bits.

"Here you go," she added while putting the coins in his hand.

Looking over to the other side of the street where the cinema was located, Rarity noticed a few people waiting at the entrance. Most of them tho where in groups of two, so her eyes kept looking thru the dark. Only the cinemas light, as well as the street lamps were lighting up the night. Luna's moon wasn't shining as brightly as the last night, so the fashionista had to rely on the magical lights. Lucky enough it wasn't raining that night and the temperature was quite warm, instead of chilling.

Her phone was summoned out of her purse by her magical fingers, and Rarity was quick to check a few text messages, before noticing a young looking stallion while looking up from her screen. Said stallion was approaching her with his hands in his jacket. Comparing the pictures in her head with the figure approaching, it seemed possible that it was in fact him.

"S-Shining Diamond?" the voice of the stallion asked her once he had come closer and stepped into the light of the streetlamp where the fashionista was standing. Rarity looked him over before giving him an answer. His clothes weren't as fancy as her own. Consisting of a blue hoodie that he had pulled over his head, a black pair of jeans that went all the way over his shoe laces.

Rarity nodded at his question and he seemed really relieved by her answer. Who knows how much confidence it took him to ask her for just her name when she is looking like she just came from a gala.

"Wow...I must really say in comparison to you I feel really underdressed. You look stunning." Jumping Ship gazed upon her appearance, while the fashionista stood there with one hand on her hip and the other one was used to put her phone back into the purse.

"Thank you Jumping Ship. You don't have to feel bad. I didn't expect a coat or such. I just like to dress, to impress. Given how my outfit is received by you I see it as a win" giving him a warm smile with her purple lips that made him blush ever so slightly. Obviously she felt how Jumping Ship was checking her out from top to bottom, and the stallion must be especially impressed by her bust given his expression.

After a few seconds of silence between them, Rarity aka Shining Diamond began to steer the conversation a little into her direction. "So Jumping. I can call you Jumping, right? I don't mean to be that person asking, but can you pay me up front, darling? Afterwards, you can tell me the plan for the evening~" the fashionista lidded her eyes suggestively at the young stud that was blushing even harder on his search for a reply.

"A-a sure miss Diamond. Usually, I wouldn't do this, but I go a good feeling with you." putting one hand of his into his pocket, Jumping Ship revealed a small envelope. Rarity was quick to take the envelope with her magical grip, and without anyone seeing it, putting the money in her purse.

"So whats the plan?"

"I told a few of my friends that i would go watch a movie with my girlfriend tonight, and that I would post some pictures of us together. That would be your part to play my girlfriend to make it look like we just have a date." The stallion explained to Shining Diamond. To her it was quickly clear that he was interested in a good piece of eye-candy for his friends. She would give him just that. Its what he paid for after all.

The white mare put a finger in thoughts to her chin and tipped it a few times, before giving him a assuring smirk. "I think I should be able to get you your money worth."

"Awesome! Then lets head inside. I have already got the tickets before you arrived." Jumping Ship couldn't get into the movie hall quick enough, while Rarity followed closely behind in her high heels over the street that was separating the pair from the cinema.

After this little exercise the two of them had walked past the ticket seller by Jumping showing the two cards in his hand and getting them stamped, before the big door to the movie room would open up. Since Ponyville was still pretty small when this cinema was build it only had one large screening room, instead of many small ones.

The pair was also lucky that today there were only a few seats taken and no one was sitting in the last row, so that's where the two were heading to. Having two large seats just for themselves felt almost a bit surreal, given how many people usually went to the Ponyville cinema.

Then she remembered, the Ponyville ciderfest was currently happening at the apples farm. Most of her friends probably went there as well to try some of AJ's homemade cider.

"Do you want some popcorn?" Jumping's voice came from besides her out of the sudden. He had turned up with a big bucket of popcorn and a drink in his hand. While she had searched for a fitting pair of seats, he had gone to the snack shop to pick up a few snacks for them.

"Oh you scared me. Didnt even hear you come back next to the sound of the ads on the screen." Rarity held a hand to her quick beating heart to calm herself down."

"Sorry, that happens to me all the time," he laughed it off with a hand scratching the back of his neck nervously, while he took a seat next to her. Putting the popcorn and drink on an empty seat.

The movie was about to begin, and the lights began to darken down.
