Black Diamond

Chapter Four

Rarity woke from her slumber with a yawn and a stretch as Celestia's morning sun kissed her face. She rolled over onto her opposite side to be greeted by Twilight. "Good morning sleepy head." Rarity smiled trying to open her eyes to see her friends soft smile. "Good morning darling." She smiled replying to Twilight yawning again. "Ohh Twilight, I forgot how cosy your bed actually was." She smiled nestling her head back into the pillow realising that she had been drooling in her sleep again making her flush for a moment with the cool wetness against her cheek.

The bedroom door suddenly opened with little puffs and pants entering the room. "Good morning Twilight, I made you breakfast." The chirpy little dragon smiled. Twilight yawned as she answered. "Oh thank you Spike, you didn't have to." She sat up exposing Rarity as the duvet fell away making Spike gasp. "Miss Rarity!...my queen...I didn't know you were here or I'd have made you breakfast too...something just as sweet as you...I'll make you something right away!" He turned on the spot and marched away. Twilight smiled with her horn glowing as she held Spike's tail keeping him on the spot a moment before releasing him. "Hold your horses Mister, Rarity is very busy planning her business trip today and has a lot to do before she leaves, so she can share breakfast with me." Rarity smiled reassuringly at him. "Thank you for the offer, you're an absolute darling for offering though." She smiled to him.

Spike was lovestruck at her words and was soon becoming lost in his little dragon mind as he ran various romantic scenarios of them both together, his eyes would have shown love hearts if he were a cartoon. Twilight and Rarity both looked puzzled at each other a moment before reminding Spike where he was. "Spike would you be a darling and allow us girls a little privacy, please?" Rarity said batting her eyelashes at him. Spike gulped wondering how long he'd been dreaming for and if anypony had noticed. He quickly pulled himself together frantically scratching the back of his head for answers. "Uh Yes, of course I was just, errr about to ask if you both needed anything else?"

"Just some privacy please Spike." Twilight smiled politely making Spike blush with awkwardness. "Haha...yes of course...I'll be going oh and have a safe trip Rarity! I will miss you my sweet." Twilight closed the door using her magic as Rarity thanked the little dragon before bursting into giggles along with Twilight. "Oh Twilight did you have to close the door so fast?" She laughed before adding. "I wouldn't have said 'no' to an apple juice darling I'm absolutely parched." Twilight passed her drink over using her magic. "Here, have mine. I can get one before we leave."

Rarity smiled. "Well thank you darling." She said raising the cup to Twilight before quenching her thirst. "As much as I'm excited about today I'm so nervous, Twilight. I have some errands to attend to and I also need to sort out somewhere for Sweetie Belle to stay. Hopefully Applejack will take her for a short while and then I need to get a bed and odds and ends across to my...new abode....Ohhh it's making me dizzy already!" She swooned dramatically back down on the pillow covering her eyes with her hoof.
"Oh Rarity, just remember, one hoof in front of the other and you'll get there. The potion is ready and it's not going anywhere until you take it, then I'm going to help you where I can today, so just tell me where you need me." Twilight gleamed a reassuring smile to her friend.

Rarity smiled nuzzling into Twilight. "Whatever did I do, to get a friend like you." She asked rhetorically before continuing. "Well if you're sure it's alright, would you mind seeing the gentlecolt in town about moving a bed and such into the abandoned house for me please?" Hoping it wasn't to much of an ask. "Consider it done and done Rarity." Twilight smiled.

"Oh thank you so much Twilight, you'll find my emergency purse in it's usual place. Take what you need and then take something for yourself and make sure you do, or I'll be quite put out if you don't darling." Twilight rolled her eyes. "Okay Rarity, I may treat myself to Cupcake Corner when I'm finished. All that talk of eating cake last night has had my belly growling." She giggled as her horn glowed passing a pancake dripping with syrup to her hungry friend. "Here Rarity, open wide." Twilight called out. Rarity grasped the pancake in her own magic. "Twilight, I do not 'open wide' for any pony, I am a lady." Twilight rolled her eyes. "I know some pony you would 'open wide' for though..." She smirked.

"Really Twilight? I...You....uhhh." She drooped her head as she conceded. "I know you're only having a risque joke and as Pinkie Pie keeps telling me to take the proverbial stick out of my bu...ugh my derriere. Well maybe on this new venture I can. Thank you for breakfast darling, I'll have to start heading off, no time like the present and all that." Giving Twilight a peck on the cheek.

As Rarity headed for the bedroom door Twilight called out from her bed. "Go get 'em Rarity! I'll meet you in your newly furnished stead later this evening with the potion. And Rarity..."
Rarity stopped, looking over her shoulder as Twilight continued. "Remember, just put one hoof in front of the other." She softly smiled as Rarity gave her a humbled nod before taking her leave.

Once outside the Old Oak Library, Rarity breathed in the fresh morning air as Celestia's sun shone down on Ponyville. She finished her pancake and used her magic to rummage through her saddlebag for her to do list. "Okay, hmm so I need to sort out bits to see me over, then I need to see Applejack about Sweetie Belle see if she can stay there until I get back and then I need to finish off my new dress for when..." She took a deep breath smiling. "For when I become a filly." She liked the sound of that as she headed off through Ponyville heading for Apple Acres.

Later at Apple Acres

On arriving at Apple family farm the sun was at it's pique, Rarity wiped the sweat from her brow with her neckerchief as she finally reached the farmhouse. She gave a quick look in the window finding Granny asleep in her rocking chair and knew AJ would more than likely be doing her chores, seeing that the fields had already been tended to, so she decided to head for the barn. The large door creaked as Rarity stepped inside she was greeted by the cool air. She took a deep breath of the refreshing cool air before calling out to her friend. "Applejack! Applejack are you here darling?" Her ears perked up listening intricately for any response but to no avail.

Heading further inside she called out again this time louder than the first. "AJ! Are you in here??" She turned quick as a sound came from the shadows of the rear of the barn and walked towards it with her horn illuminated for light. As she rounded a corner into the stable partition she gasped finding Applejack going down on her brother Big Mac. "Applejack! Uh...Oh my...!" She cried out as she flustered. AJ slowly slid her mouth off her brothers long, throbbing member whilst keeping eye contact with him softly smiling as she turned to Rarity. "Hey there Sugarcube, what brings you here today?"

Rarity was blushing as red as grannys prize winning apples. "Uh Applejack, what are you doing?" Was all she managed to get out. Applejack rolled her eyes. "Well ahm doin' whut Apple Bloom should be doing right now, it's supposed to be her turn this time! You wouldn't have happened ta seen her around have ya?"
Rarity gawked. "Apple Bloom? You want Apple Bloom to do that...with your own brother?" She asked shocked at such a notion. Applejack wiped Big Mac's pre from her mouth with her hoof looking her friend in the eye. "Ahv gotta do this Rarity, when Big Mac goes into heat like this there's no other pony ta do it. Ahv been doing this a while now, but since Apple Bloom has come of age ahm learnin' her the ropes plus it's good practice for when she finds her special somepony."
Rarity gulped trying to process the new information her head was spinning trying to process it all. Deciding to get back on track as to why she was there in first place. "I...I came here to ask a big favour...I have to leave town on a business trip and...." Applejack cut in. "Say no more Rarity, we'll take good care of Sweetie Belle till ya get back." She said smiling heading back towards Big Mac.

As she settled back down to Big Mac's now melting shaft, she called over over to Rarity. "Say Rarity! Ah don't suppose ya wanna take care of mah brother here while ah go look for Apple Bloom do yah?" Rarity watched as the large dick twitched back into life at the vivid thought of the unicorn taking him into her maw.

Rarity's eyes widening, her clit was starting to twitch as her unhoned sexual senses took hold. "What?? No! I am a Lady, I couldn't! I wouldn't!" She cried out trying to keep her composure.
AJ giggled "Ohh Rarity, Pinkie Pie sure is right about that stick up your butt. See ah told ya there was nopony else ta help out!" She belly laughed before turning back to her brother, taking his full length into the back of her throat making him groan out in pleasure. Rarity blushed and excused herself before heading back into the warm sun where she recomposed herself despite feeling the cool breeze against her wetness before returning to her errands.

Late afternoon...

Rarity had finished her errands and had called to the market for some food and treats for to make a lovely dinner before heading to meet twilight at what used to be the abandoned house. She strolled along the old railway track admiring the old mill up on the hill as it came into view as the evening sun broke through the trees encapturing the lonely building in it's soft ambient light. Upon following the treeline round to her new steading she stopped and sat on the path as it hit her what she was about to do. This new journey she was about to embark on could she really leave this part of herself behind and live a different life to what she's worked so hard for. She took a deep breath. "Well I guess I'll find out tomorrow." She assured herself before getting back to her hooves and headed for the front door.

As she entered her abode she was greeted by Twilight. "Good evening Rarity, I hope you don't mind what I've done to the place?" She warmly smiled. Rarity gasped as she looked around it felt warm and cosey. A log was burning in the hearth with a small shelf with a few pieces of bric-a-brac for show and over in the back corner were three chairs and table under the window beside a small but modest kitchen to the right of it. Twilight could only smile watching so much wonder and joy wash over Rarity seeing her so speechless. "Would you like the tour of your new home m'lady?" Twilight asked the stunned unicorn.

Rarity looked wide eyed at her friend only able to giver a quick speechless nod. Twilight grinned dramatically turning into the room. "Well I did the best I could with the little time I had to keep it minimalist for you. As you can see I touched up the hearth and put a fresh log on for you and a comfy sofa and chair. Then I added a few essentials to your kitchen, pots and pans, plates...the usual. Now if your ready I'll show you upstairs." Rarity looked around in awe as the candlelight made the shadows dance around around the room before silently following Twilight up the stairs. Once at the top of the stairs Twilight continued. "So since you can't be an orphan as it'll draw to much attention, I've put a casual bed in this room as if it's your parents, you can probably say they work away. I've also been to see Miss Cherrylee. I told her that she may have a new student arriving from out of town, sooo you start school on Monday." Twilight winked a smile.

Twilight gave Rarity time to look around. The walls were a peach colour mixed with whisps of light green, whilst in the corner was the bedside table with a reading candle sitting alongside a random book and above the bed hung a painted picture of two special someponies under a tree sharing a picnic and in the opposite corner of the room was an old wooden chest with some casual and work clothes inside. Twilight ushered her back to the landing as she continued. "And this door here is your bathroom..." Upon opening the door rarity found all the essentials, nothing as extravagant as in her own home, but modest at the least. Rarity put her hoof on the tap of the tub feeling the cold faux gold metal. The walls were a sheen white with wooden slats to help keep the steam in. Rarity smiled fondly at her friend.

Twilight smiled widely as she continued. "And here on the other side of the landing is your new bedroom." They headed for the door Twilight stood to one side. "Okay Rarity, lead the way." She smiled. Rarity gulped staring at the door to her new bedroom imagining what to expect inside. She took a deep steady breath and slowly opened the door finding inside a proper fillies bedroom. The foal sized bed layered with soft pinks and blues blended into a lively pattern on the duvet on the right hoofside of the bed an elegant nightstand with a small lamp with a pink shade, just then she noticed a small picture frame beside it. Rarity picked it up in her magic and a tear came to her eye upon seeing it in a better light. Twilight put a hoof on her shoulder softly smiling. "And that is a picture of the six of us all together...you know, just incase you forget who we are." Rarity hugged Twilight almost catching her off guard.

Rarity composed herself letting go of Twilight to admire the picture once more before carefully putting it back on the nightstand. "Thank you so much Twilight, you you've done so much for me...I was going to cook you dinner tonight but it doesn't seem enough now. I really owe you for this one." Twilight hugged her friend "Oh Rarity, that's what friends are for. Remember when I first arrived in Ponyville and I came to your shop and you tried to help me even though I was a total stranger and a rude one at that." They both giggled. "Yes, but I shouldn't have pressed you so hard on the matter, a ladies mane is her pride and joy and I got a little carried away." They both laughed hugging each other. "So Twilight, let's head back down and I'll start making dinner."

Rarity headed straight into to her new kitchen and started preparing dinner before unpacking the treats from her satchel including a bottle of sparkling wine. Once everything was done she joined Twilight in the living room where she started pouring the wine into two glasses both unicorns raised their glasses with their magic. Rarity raised her glass toasting Twilight. "Mi casa is your casa." Twilight smiled. "To friendship." She replied clinking her glass to Rarity's. They took a drink and relaxed on the couch whilst the dinner steadily cooked.

Later...

After devouring the delicious banquet which Rarity had made the girls retired to the living room opening a second bottle of wine where each talked about their day as Rarity pointed out various decor that she would maybe like to incorporate into her own home. "I suppose its easy to forget the little things." Rarity mused aloud. Twilight looked around her humble abode. "We certainly do Rarity. That's why sometimes we have to stop and take a look around or we can miss what's right in front of us." Rarity took a drink of her wine mulling philosophically Over Twilight's words. "This is the last glass of wine I'll be having for a while I suppose." Twilight let out a little giggle. "I'm sure you'll have plenty on your plate in the meantime Rarity." Rarity took another drink "I suppose I will darling...taking that the potion even works, imagine all of this for nothing." Twilight sat up. "It won't be for nothing Rarity. Just look at what you've achieved up until today without being a filly. Hold onto that Rarity or it really will be for nothing." Rarity finished her wine. "I suppose you're right darling. I am proud of myself for starting to 'come out of my shell' so to speak." She yawned wide and loud.

Twilight giggled softly as she watched her friend succumb to her tiredness. "Well Rarity, there's just one thing left to do..." Twilight's horn glowed as she brought the bottle of potion to her friend. Rarity looked at the elixir hovering in front of her in the custom made bottle of a deep glittery purple with thin swirls of white and on the narrow neck was a black diamond. Rarity looked to Twilight with grateful eyes as she took hold of it in her magic. "Oh this is..." Twilight cut in finishing her sentence. "Absolutely elegant darling...That's what you were going to say right?" Twilight teased giving her a playful nudge. Rarity giggled. "I suppose I was darling...it is quite beautiful to say the least. Thank you."

The girls sat in silence a few moments. "So Twilight, do I just pop the cork and drink it?" Twilight shook her head "Oh no Rarity, you have to follow out the steps of the ritual. Firstly go outside under the moon, secondly spin around until you fall down making sure you splay your nethers skywards before thirdly yelling into the night at the top of your lungs. "I am the Lady Rarity! Make me young and virginal once again!" Rarity's eyes were wide with shock before taking a deep breath and swallowing hard. She stood up making a move for the front door before Twilight laughed out hard. "Oh Rarity, I was only joking! You should have seen your face!" Rarity gasped before bursting out into laughter. "Oh Twilight you are just simply awful darling! I can't believe I was about to do it too!" Twilight giggled. "Ohh I'm sorry Rarity, but you needed a pick me up."

Rarity blushed as she laughed thinking of how she'd have looked actually spreading her most intimate parts to nature. She caught her breath taking a glimpse at Twilight still giggling. "Okay Twilight, I Think I'm ready to drink it." Twilight smiled. "Alright then Rarity, lead the way." Rarity thought a moment. "I'd Like to take the potion in bed and fall asleep beside you...just incase I become somepony else or something." Twilight hugged her. "I've always got your back, you amazing fashionista. I'm ready when you are." Rarity took a look around the living room wondering if she'd wake to be a stranger to it in the morning, as she started leading Twilight upstairs. She opened the door to the master bedroom feeling the crisp night air greet her as the moonlight shone in through the window onto the bed.

They pulled back the quilt and got underneath. Rarity looked at Twilight's hard work once again before turning to her friend. "I want to thank you once again Twilight, for everything..." Twilight smiled cutting in. "Rarity, I know and the girls know too we're all here for each other through thick and thin and don't you worry, your secret is safe with me." Rarity smiled popping the cork from the pretty bottle and put it to her lips before stopping. "Twilight can I ask just one more favour of you darling?" She almost whispered. Twilight was taken back a little for a moment. "Sure thing Rarity. Whatever you need." Rarity shuffled in her place. "Can you hold me while I sleep please? I don't want to wake up alone in the morning." Twilight snuggled into her. "Of course I will" She warmly smiled. Rarity put the vial to her lips again saying softly and slowly "I am the Lady Rarity. Make me young and virginal again." She chuckled as a tear reached her eye as she drank the dark sweet liquid. She kissed Twilight on the cheek then lay down with her back to her friend encouraging with her flank for Twilight to spoon her. Twilight rolled onto her side snuggling into her before kissing her shoulder.
"Goodnight Rarity."
