Child of the sky

Chapter three: Getting to know Zap Rarity's diary

Today has been a wonderful day I found someone who is willing to help me make dresses and get me supplies when I need them. Oh who am I talking about I'm talking about my new guest Zap. He so far has only been here for a little over three day's and he's already going to go look for a job.

"See you later Rarity I'm going to go look for a job I really need one and plus I feel like I owe you some bits for you staying with me I guess I got to start playing rent" Such a delightful person but the darling is way to modest.

"You don't owe me anything it's nice to have someone stay with me the only other pony that stay's with me is my little sister Sweetie Belle but she's staying with our parent's for a while I'm sure she would like you and her friends would to." He was smiling knowing that I was glad he was staying with me but whenever he gave me that lovely look when he looked right at me when our eye's met I would feel so happy his beautiful red eye's, a mane of blonde and a coat of black.

"Thanks Rarity I'm glad I can easily make friends here i've only been here in ponyville for three days and I feel like I made the right choice coming here and thanks for making me breakfast again how about once I get a job my first pay check will be used for dinner with you" I wanted to scream out yes but that would be very unlady like so I kept calm and responded to my new friend who I couldn't stop staring in his eye's

"That would be lovely thank you for offering me dinner I will humbly accept your offer," Zap left going to find a job while I had to do mine I run the lovely and  Carousal Boutique it is my passion to make dresses but I was also on what felt like an endless endeavor for love. After the disappointment after meeting prince BlueBlood at the Grand Galloping Galla which I must add was terrible for Rainbow, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Twilight, AppleJack, and I were all left with a huge disappointment. But there is something I different about Zap than the other stallions he seemed more willing, more helpful no matter what, and he is totally loyal I think he can give rainbow dash a run for her bits with her element. Shame I would love to give him a job with me but he tried already but he isn't the best with making dress but definitely not a beginner Zap had mentioned he has helped out with almost every type of job including dress making but he said he wouldn't be able to make the cut because he didn't have the passion like I do. But I offered him the job but he said he would never be able to take bits from me and especially his landlord for that matter..

Zap got two jobs one for the weather patrol and one at the spa he seems he can give amazing massages but he has worked at different types of jobs. Maybe I could go to the spa with Fluttershy later and get a massage from him. He makes it so he uses a bit of a little lighting to give a small pinch at the nerves so they could relax Aloe and Lotus said that his first customer fell asleep because she was so relaxed after. So after making a few dresses for the nobles at canterlout thanks to Fancy Pants I get great business from them. So after another hour it was time for my lunch break Zap made sure his lunch break was at the same time I go for mine so we could have lunch together.

"So Zap darling tell me how has your job been at weather patrol I must say the sky looks perfect not a single cloud in the sky."It was his first day at weather patrol and sky has been never been so clear in a long time.

"Oh that it was so hard me and rainbow used the stunt "The slingshot" to gain incredible speed and we both finished clearing the sky's in one minute. She really is a amazing flyer but so am I and I want to give you something go to the park at nine then you will see."

"Oh Zap you don't have to give me anythi—" He then put his hoof on my lips and gave me a shush

"It's the least I could do Rarity so could you please come anyway I know I don't have to but it's the least i could do for you after helping me out and giving me food." He looked at straight in the eye's that perfect look it was amazing how could I possible say no he looked like he wasn't going to give up until I said yes.

"All right Zap I will accept your gift I can't wait to see it. But since were out eating I would like to get to know you better. Tell me who you are and why did you come here to ponyville? I want to get to know you tell me about your past event's."

"Okay Rarity I will answer your questions. I was just like any other Pegasus but I had no parent's I was alone ever since I was a colt. But I used to have another name but I didn't like it since the people who I knew came up with it. I think my name Shadow Coat because of my unnatural coat color. As for the second question I came to ponyville so I could make some friends and finally have a new home I've been all over Equestria and none of them seemed right for me I wanted a home where it can be peaceful, but adventurous. Like when I was hearing ponyville got a new event each week I couldn't stay away I but one major event was discord I swear for some reason he made me a big target I was dowsed by a huge pink cloud of chocolate rain. Then everypony in equestria knew about the changleling event I was off fighting groups of them one by one. And as my past when I became an older I was somehow better trained than royal guards I went to the training grounds were celestia was training new recruits I came in and wiped the floor with them. It was then Celestia herself gave me a rank in the royal guards I was the youngest pony ever to join the royal guards at such  a young age. I later became Captain of the Royal guards where my second in command was my comrade and friend Shining Armor. But after a battle took place I made an oath with Celestia she would never be in danger or I would never allow my comrades to get hurt. But I failed the evil group was to big in numbers and were killing off royal guards one by one Shiny and I beat them but to many of my comrades were hurt so I left my ranks and quit. Celestia said that I didn't have to leave but I felt like such a failure that I couldn't keep my promise."

I couldn't help myself but to give Zap a small smack before I started to give him a biggest huge I've ever given. "Zap I never ever want to hear from you that you are a failure you tried your best and I didn't know you knew Shining you know he his Twilight's older brother right." He looked surprised by the slap, hug, and then me telling him about shining and Twilight.

"Thanks Rarity for caring so much and really Shiny said he had a little sister but I never thought it would be Twilight I got an invitation to his wedding but I was then busy fighting changeling's and when I made it the wedding was over I was happy and sad. Happy that Shiny found some pony but sad I wasn't there for him I was supposed to be the best stallion but I was to late besides I was covered with scratches and bruises and had no fancy clothes I knew if I got to canterlout I could get something and I need to make it up to Shiny about me missing his wedding."

I was learning so much about Zap and his sad past no wonder he came here. So after lunch I made one more dress and went to Fluttershy for our weekly spa date. I got to the cottage and she was tending to her birds and she finished right when I came up to her and then she made a landing.

"Hi Fluttershy dear are you ready for our weekly visit to the spa?" All she did was shake her head yes and Zap gave me permission to tell our friends about him since he had to go to work.

We made it to the spa were Zap was currently finishing massaging a customer who like his first fell asleep it seemed he was able to find the exact points that have the most stress and it's just to much at relax. So we meet Aloe at the counter. "Hello miz Rarity and miz Fluttershy the regular

"You know it Aloe I can't wait I was looking forward for this all week. Shall we Fluttershy?" She then gave a small and shy replay maybe she saw zap was giving the massages she was a little shy.

"Um yes I'm ready to relax taking care of small animals can be pretty hard." Same for making dress I thought you have to be careful with every stitch you make but it can be pretty fun and I could turn my own ideas for a dress into reality. So after relaxing in the steam room and a mud bath now it was time for a massage. I wanted to go first but I let Fluttershy go first.

"Are you sure you don't want to go first Rarity" Why is she so nervous she only new him for a few days but she seems really nervous so I let her go first so she could relax.

"Yes go right ahead dear I'm pretty sure you need it the most anyway." So while Fluttershy was getting a massage I was waiting for my turn the same thing happened again with Fluttershy after Zap was done massaging Shy feel right asleep she looked so peaceful so Zap careful brought her over to the couch for employes to relax Aloe and Lotus said it was okay for him to so he let her sleep now it was my turn. So I got up on the massage table and relaxed so Zap could work his magic.

"Alright Rarity here we go." He first got a little lighting then started at the neck and moved a little to the shoulders his hooves finding all the right places and my upper body was done and then moved to my back and vertebra and was careful around the flank like with fluttershy he seems to know how sensitive the cutie marks are so he was careful not to give his customers a reason to be uncomfortable. And finally he moved to working on my legs after he was done I suddenly feel asleep where Shy was put I got up and felt as light as a feather Zap gave the best massages no doubt about that now shy was thanking zap for the wonderful massage and the spa was closing so Zap said he would make sure I got home but then he noticed me.

"Hey Rarity how did you enjoy the massage" He looked nervous but he wanted to see if he did a good or bad job.

"It was perfect darling I've never felt so relaxed before." Zap then looked at the clock and said he had to go it was 8:30 I was out for three and a half hours.

Thats when I remember Zap said he had a surprise for me at the park so I said bye to shy and I left for the park It was 9:00 and I was looking for Zap when he suddenly landed right next to me.

"Okay Rarity look up" I looked up and it was so beautiful he made a sign in the clouds of my cuitie mark and at the top it said Thanks Rarity It was beautiful he went threw all the trouble for me he really is amazing.

"Zap I don't know what to say it's, it's wonderful absolutely wonderful thank you" He looked quite pleased and relaxed now since I liked his gift to me.

"Glad you like it now for the rest of the gift I will take you on a midnight flight now get on." He lowered himself to the ground and he seemed fine when I was on his back and then I wrapped my hooves around him and we took off it was such a lovely night the stars were out it was a full moon and Zap was helping me get a clear view of both the sky and of ponyville. We flew for what seemed like half a hour before landing outside my house.

"That was lovely Zap but I think we should go to bed" He did look tired but he has been working all day so as a sign of thanks for everything today I gave him a small kiss on his check and I heard a a "POMF" knowing I surprised him, when I pulled away he seemed he was blushing.

"It was no problem Rarity well night" He escorted me in like a proper gentlemen unlike that jerk Blue Blood and after that he left for his room to retire for the night."

Before I retire to my bed and get some sleep I must say Zap is one of the best things in my life I think he might be my special some pony I've been looking for."
