Accessorizing with Rarity

A New Day

<--- --- --->

.

I had finally walked all the way to my older sister’s school. It had not been all that far, after all; she does walk to this school, every day.

Fortunately, I had arrived in time; I can still see her school mates walking around, outside.

She had explained, when her class was ending, today; so that I would know, when I should arrive at the school. She had even explained, how long it takes her to walk to and from school; so that I knew how early she expected me to leave home.

Pinkie quietly steps up to Rarity, with a curious expression on her face, while still clearly looking excited. Well; if everything is equal, Pinkie is just being Pinkie. Who else would she be, if she had not been Pinkie Pie? (The room is quiet, so quiet one could hear the pin-prick falling on the floor on the other side of the room.)

“Hi, Pinkie..” Rarity exclaims.

“Hiya, Rarity..” Pinkie responds; “I think someone is about to ask you for some of your Accessories, in a moment..” she continues; “I just hope you have a good supply, ready and waiting for her!” she concludes.

“I always have a small stock on hand, in my locker, Pinkie, you know that as well as anyone!” Rarity puts forth.

“That is exactly why I am telling you, Rarity..” Pinkie points out, in no uncertain terms; “but I guess I could be running a small errand for you, today!” Pinkie suggests.

“What would we be; without you around, Pinkie?” Rarity inquires.

“Dull, gray..” Pinkie giggles; “and Angry; because you never made friends, here!” she concludes; before she is off, resupplying Rarity’s local stock.

“Yes, exactly..” Rarity concludes, before she realizes, Pinkie isn’t even in the room.

“I could as well step right in..” I ponder; "I can ask for the directions, once I am inside!” I conclude; as I am walking over the school yard, towards the building I think I am heading for.

As I am walking over the school yard; I am waving a hand at a few people; exclaiming; “Hello!” to the once I am passing close enough.

Most of them responds, waving a hand at me, in return. Well, why not? (Costs me nothing, and a friendly gesture commonly is returned and appreciated; even if you don’t know the person in question.)

A few minutes later, I reach the target, the door to the school building behind which I expect to find their lockers. Of course they have lockers, they don’t have anywhere else to store their school supplies on hand; unless you expect them to carry everything, on their persons at all times? Well, why would you expect that, in the first place?

Once inside, I am following the instructions she gave me; in order for me to find her, so that she can guide me to Rarity and her locker. (Which is where she would keep the stocks, at school.)

“Maybe I did arrive a bit early?” I ponder; as I notice the lockers, where my sister is storing her books has none around. (It isn’t just my sister, I can’t find.)

Since I had found her locker; the description is matching up, and I had found the locker with both colour and number matching perfectly.

“I have two options, available to me; aside from waiting here, which I do not feel like. I could go to see the library, to see if they have any interesting books to read; or I could see if I could find Rarity on my own, and ask her directly!” I consider.

While I do not know, how much my sister told Rarity about me, or if she may recognize me aside from that; but from what my sister had told me, she is very sociable and friendly. She does want to spread her Fashion and Accessories, selling them or giving them out as gifts. At least; it is the impression, my sister had given me. (Not that I am expecting her to just give me everything I was looking for.)

Since my sister is in her first year, I take this as a clue to where I would find Rarity, when she is by her locker. I just follow the line of lockers, isle by isle; until I get to the class, Rarity is attending. (Sounds easy enough?) Once I had found her class, I would find her locker. I could wait for her to return; unless she isn’t already there, by her locker.

Conveniently enough, Rarity is already by her locker; Pinkie Pie had apparently informed her, of when I were to show up. How convenient? Not that I am complaining, or anything.

“Hello, Megumi!” she exclaims, just as she is spotting me on my way towards her and her locker.

“Hello, Rarity I presume?” I respond.

“Yes, that is me..” she responds; “guilty as charged!” she concludes.

“Then you are the person, providing my sister with all these delicious accessories!” I exclaim, in excitement.

“Yes!” she responds; “I take it, you are the girl; interested in these Crescent Moon boots?” she inquires, as she is looking at me. (Of course; she could not miss the boots I am currently wearing, either.)

“Since you are providing these accessories; I can only imagine, I have come to the right person..” I suggest; “you see; I was hoping, you had more of these accessories available!” I explain.

“Depending on what you are looking for, I just may have what you are looking for!” she agrees.

“The most obvious, is that I am still lacking the Tail going with these boots!” I offer.

“I just may have one, in your size available..” she responds; “someone suggested I were to insert the specific items, into the inventory; earlier today!” she explains.

“The ensemble could not be considered complete; without the tail, too!” I prompt.

“I guess you have me, there!” she suggests.

“Then I came to think of it; if you happen to have a matching horn or wings too, I am very interested!” I concede.

By now; Rarity had already opened her locker, examining the latest extensions to the accessories she could offer.

“Is this the tail, you were looking for?” she inquires, before I had had the time to specify the colour I was looking for.

“Such an exquisite tail.” I respond, before I can pull my emotions in; “I had not expected you to have something this close to what I am looking for!” I exclaim, as my eyes are devouring the tail with gusto.

“Could I actually own, and wear this tail?” I ponder, barely comprehending it.

As I saw the price tag, I almost fainted; as I realized, I actually could walk home with the tail of my life. Rarity truly is the element of Generosity.

“Did you by chance have any more shoes in my size; other than the once I already have, that is?” I inquire.

“Iridium, Osmium, Cobalt, and Copper..” she offers.

At the given price, if it still stands and applies to these shoes too, I certainly could afford them.

“Divine..” I exclaim, barely able to hold my drooling in check; “I probably should stop here; saving the rest of the fun for later!” I suggest.

“Of course; Megumi..” she responds, as she starts to extract the items I had just requested; “you can always visit my Boutique, if I don’t have it in my locker..” she suggests; “or, if you want to make a special order!” she proposes.

“I was planning to see your Boutique, next weekend or so!” I concede.

While she was extracting the items; I produce the bits, fully intent on paying everything up front. With the tail, she is offering me; I must stay in her good graces, at all cost. Even if I were not prepared to express it, in these terms.

Cash in one hand, merchandise in the other; exchange of goods.

“Thank you, Rarity; such a pleasure, seeing you..” I offer, “aside from buying your exquisite accessories..” I add; “I will love to wear them, and treasure them for all times!” I conclude.

“Thank you, Megumi; it is a pleasure, to see you too..” she responds; I always love seeing people, finding the special suit or accessories, to complete their appearance and make their day!” she points out, with a smile on her face.

“I could very well imagine; looks like such a fulfilling goal!” I suggest; "One can only hope to derive such joy, from something in one’s life!” I conclude.

“May I help you, putting your tail on?” she inquires.

“Yes, please!” I respond; eager to show off my tail, for everyone to see. (Of course, it is a Horse tail..(Ponytail) just like all the other accessories were based on the design of the same Horse..(Pony))

I turn around, permitting Rarity to help me putting my tail on.

As I had just turned around; I feel her fingers on my back and waist, as she is pulling my skirt down a few inches. (Her fingers are not cold, but warm to the touch.) The next moment; I feel her placing the tail on my back, before she is permitting my skirt to slide back up.

“There..” Rarity pronounces; “how does it feel?” she inquires.

“Oh.. Oh..” I exclaim, “Sublime!” I put forth. (..and yes, I actually do feel my tail; it is the kind of tail, she had just helped me to put on.)

“I think, I will wait until I get home; before I try any of the other accessories on..” I ponder; “maybe I could even permit my sister to help me, putting them on and see them first!” I conclude.

While I was daydreaming; Rarity had already left the scene, her business concluded. (She still has a class, to attend to; after all.)

Before I realize it; my sister is entering the scene, spotting me where I stand.

“You already found Rarity?” she inquires, just to have me confirm it.

“Yes..” I respond; “and she was already waiting for me; with all the accessories I had been looking for!” I point out.

“Wait, what?” she inquires.

“You did notice my beautiful tail?” I inquire.

“Yes, how could I miss it?” she inquires; “It’s to die for!” she concludes.

I extract the horn, from within my back pack; “Could you help me; putting this on, please?” I inquire, indicating the horn I am holding in my hand.

“Yes; but of course, silly!” she responds; as she is accepting the horn, I am holding up in my hand.

After a moment of contemplation; she is reaching for my forehead, slowly placing the horn on the intended position. With just a little bit of hesitation; the horn soon finds its place on my forehead; before I can feel, it is bonding to me as if it had been glued into place.

“Weird..” she exclaims; “it felt; almost as if the horn was guiding my hand, to the correct spot on your forehead..” she concludes.

“Oh..” I exclaim; you felt that too?” I inquire; “but, then it felt; as if the horn fused to my forehead, making it feel as if it had always been there!” I declare.

“Whoa!!” she exclaims, taken aback; almost holding her breath, as if she was trying to catch it before it ran away from her.

After a moment, I am feeling a tingling sensation at the tip of my horn; focusing on it, because you can never ignore this kind of sensation. With a moment of focus, my horn starts to glow, faintly; before a small orb of light is forming on the tip of my horn, glowing brightly even in the light in the hallway.

“We should probably go home?” she inquires, trying to urge me to follow her home.

“Oh, okay..” I respond; “since I already got, what I came for!” I concede.

“Yeah; I guess I could see that, just from watching your tail!” she agrees.

I focus on my horn, for just a moment later; before I avert my concentration, back to my sister beside me. As I avert my focus, I soon notice the magic had evaporated and my horn no longer glows.

“Oh..” she exclaim, as she notices my horn no longer glowing.

“Yeah..” I respond.

“If it is under control, I guess I don’t need to worry!” she supplies, before we start to walk out.

“Now I just have to rearrange my shoes, when I get back home!” I put forth.

“Wait; you bought more shoes?” she inquires.

“Yes, I couldn’t quite help myself..” I respond; “when I asked, she had several more new shoes, for me to try out!” I supply.

“I guess I will just have to see these; and possibly help you out, sorting them!” she suggests.

“Thank you, Sis!” I respond.
