Rarity is getting older. She tries not to think about it most days. She usually suceeds! There's just one problem; one nagging thought that won't leave her head no matter how busy she is. She's running out of time. For as much as she's accomplished in the world there's still one thing missing from the perfect life she dreamed of all those years ago: a wife. A ring. A promise, in sickness and in health, to love and be loved in return.

Twilight Sparkle may have hundreds of years but Rarity does not.

Written for a contest ran in a friend's server where it placed second and was read and enjoyed by my friends, whom I love and care for a great deal. If you do not have a group of creative and caring people to share your art with I would recommend beginning that search posthaste; there is no greater joy than sharing your art with people you love and who love you back. This story was edited by one such friend, the quick-witted Supreme RariTwi Scholar themselves; Undome Tinwe. Cover art credit to Taikochan.
