Part 12: The Alluring Scent of Roses...
Previous ChapterNext ChapterPrincess Wild Rose and Rarity both looked at each other and smiled. “Has he said it darling?”
Princess Wild Rose lifted an eyebrow. “Has he said wha…” Her eyes widened when she realized what Rarity was getting at and her jaw dropped open. Heat rushed to her face and she could feel her cheeks growing warm.
“So he hasn’t yet…” Rarity’s voice trails off when a familiar friend of the group catches her eyes.
From out of nowhere Rainbow Dash walks up to them, her wings hanging down to the ground, her head wobbling from side to side.
“Um…are you okay darling?” Rarity asked seeing the state Rainbow Dash was in.
A dazed look could be seen in Rainbow’s eyes as she lifted her head to her friends that had been watching her. “Ju…st…fine…” She muttered; her legs wobbled while she held her body upright. “Fine…” Shaking her head she managed to keep herself from falling over.
“So where’s Applejack?” Sunset Shimmer asked with a smile knowing that they were last seen together according to Rarity, Spike, Princess Wild Rose, and Rogus.
“AJ is still at Ponyville Day Spa,” Rainbow replied and added. “She wanted me to come and find the group. It was a…sudden request, she couldn’t explain, it just came over her.”
Every other pony turned to Discord.
He took a step back on his cloven hoof and lion paw. “What?” He folded his arms across his chest. “Oh, I see.” He stuck his nose up and let out a huff. “Well, I can assure everypony and dragon present that I had nothing to do with this. I promise.”
“Well, you did snap your eagle claw Discord,” Fluttershy said.
“Well yes, I did, dear Fluttershy…” Discord Replied running an eagle claw finger along the edge of her inner ear. He watched her eyes widen and her cheeks start to turn a shade of pink. “For my own reason.” His lips curved into a smile. “I think we should all go see what Applejack wants.”

Rarity found herself walking side by side with Princess Wild Rose and glancing over at her. A gust of wind had the scent of roses hanging in the air. With the direction, she knew Spike wouldn’t pick up on it. Her mind drifted back to the first time he’d seen Wild Rose. Spike and Rogus were walking ahead of them in front of the dragons were the others. Fluttershy, Discord, Rainbow Dash, Princess Twilight Sparkles, and Sunset Shimmer. “Um…darling, does your rose scent get you to trouble?” She kept her voice down as they walked together.
“I don’t notice the scent.” Princess Wild Rose admitted.
Rarity nodded. “Well yes, you’re around your scent all the time.”
“However…” Her lips curved into a grin. “Rogus…”
Rarity tilted her head. “It’s how he found you?”
Princess Wild Rose nodded. “Yet, he’s gotten used to the scent of roses around me. Spike will in time.”
“That’s good news, tell me, darling, what is it about that scent that attracts dragons?”
Wild Rose lifted an eyebrow. “It doesn’t just attract dragons; I’ve seen how you look at me.”
Rarity’s eyes widened “Pardon me, darling?”
“When Rogus and I first came up to the group…”
“Well…I was more so shocked to find that you had a dragon companion.” Rarity interjected trying to change the subject even though she could feel her cheeks growing warmer.
“Makes us quite a unique pair of friends. Wouldn’t you agree?” Wild Rose said while swishing her tail so it would catch the wind, it’s where the strongest scent of roses was. She watched Rarity’s eyes darken slightly.
“That scent is simply divine darling.” Rarity said taking in a deep breath. Is this what my Spikey Wikey felt the first time with her aroma?
Spike happened to glance back and noticed Rarity, Wild Rose’s scent is addictive that’s for sure. What are you two planning? He glanced over at Rogus, nudging him on the shoulder he inclined his head and Rogus turned to look back for a second.
“This could get interesting…” Rogus said to Spike and added. “Princess Wild Rose’s scent makes well…things more intense.”
Spike grinned at that. “Hum…is that so…” That could explain why she was so tempting the first time I smelled that aroma.
It looks like it doesn’t just affect dragons.
Rogus noticed Spike was scratching his chin. “What are you thinking about?” He asked.
“Oh…an idea.” He kept the grin on his lips as the group made it over to Ponyville Day Spa. Spike happened to turn around and caught Rarity looking at him as she and Princess Wild Rose came up to them.
“I know that grin, darling, I should after so many years. What pray tell are you planning? You could deny it, but I have my ways of getting you to talk.” She didn’t hide the sultry sound in her voice or the desire in her eyes. It has to be the Princess Wild Rose and her scent. I’ve never been so bold….yet…I like it. She thought and grinned at the look on Spike’s face.
The others in the group had heard her and they were looking at the two unique couples.
“Wow, I’ve never heard you talk like that in public Rarity.” Princess Twilight Sparkle said.
“Well, Spike and I are an item.” Rarity said putting a hoof to her stomach. “Even more so.” She added turning her grin into a warm smile.
“Is that what’s changed?” Twilight couldn’t help her nerd self from being curious. It has to be something… She happened to catch a scent in the air. “Mmm…” She let out the sound. Else… “Is that roses?” When the others heard her, they all sniffed the air.
Princess Wild Rose glanced over at Rogues the look in her eyes made him node. “I’m glad we're the only ones out and about.” He said in a whisper.
“I just never knew I could affect ponies as well as dragons.” She replied keeping her voice down. “Spike was like this until we went into a Carousel Boutique.”
Rogus nodded. “I remember.”
Princess Wild Rose glanced up as Princess Twilight Sparkle trotted over to her.
“I recall your scent when you first arrived, and Spike noticed it too.” Princess Twilight Sparkle said.
Princess Wild Rose nodded. “I just thought my scent only affected dragons. It’s on windy days that I need to stay downwind.” She said and noticed a slightly dreamy look in Twilight’s eyes.
“I could work on a spell if you want me to.”
Fluttershy had been looking at Discord and found that he looked to be normal. Unaffected by Princess Wild Rose.
Discord noticed Fluttershy staring at him. “Oh don’t worry, my dear Fluttershy, I’m the master of chaos, her scent won’t affect me.” His gaze stayed on Fluttershy. However I can see that you’re succumbing to the scent. This could interesting.
“It looks like your rosy scent opens up the creature's ability to just express themselves.” Princess Twilight Sparkle said her head spinning with theories and ideas. Her gaze kept shifting to Sunset Shimmer. I wonder…
“Looseness them up, I believe is what you’re saying.” Princess Wild Rose said and then added. “Once we’re inside of a building my scent wont be so strong, I suggest we get inside and soon.” She said as she summoned her unicorn magic to open the doors.
“Right, everypony…and creature inside.” Princess Twilight Sparkle said.
