CYOA: A Day in Ponyville
71
Previous ChapterNext ChapterRarity is not the prettiest mare in the town. That'd go to Fluttershy. But she was the fanciest, poshest, and one of the most fashion-forward ones. If she approved of your look, then other ponies would know you're someone worth knowing.
Rarity's white fur seemed to glow in the morning light. She turned, facing you, her sapphire blue eyes twinkling as you trot up to her. "Darling? You're looking especially radiant today." Her eyes fall to your new bracelet. "Ah ha! What a lovely little bauble you have there."
"Just something I picked up in town. I'm sure it's nothing compared to what you'd pick." You step in close, basking in her aura. "I'd love your input on my style."
"I'd love to have a peek, dear." She slid up to look closer. She doesn't know, but you turn on the bracelet's powers, amplifying your charm. "Oh, that's so nice. The beadwork is just lovely, and I'm in love with this color choice." She reaches out with a hoof, brushing it along your cheek. "Just not sure how well it suits you."
You recoil in surprise. "You're not?!"
Rarity laughs gently. "Darling, what you need is a dress to bring it all together. Something a bit more sophisticated." She points a hoof towards her boutique. "If you don't mind, I'd like to try a few things on you. It'll accentuate your new fashion and make it work with the rest of you, dear. Unless you're scared of something so simple as fashion?"
You beam at the chance to see Rarity's designs up close, and maybe get to try a few. "I'd love to. Do lead the way. Let's see what we can find."
"Wonderful!" Rarity marches towards her shop, looking over her shoulder at you. "It feels like a shame we haven't chat more before today. Really, darling, you feel like a pony worth knowing."
Was the bracelet working? You sure seem to be getting Rarity's attention! She is right about your fashion sense though. That's what you're here for! "Yes, I think it's time we get to know each other better. You're one of the best dressmakers in town."
You slip up just next to her. "But there's something else I wanted to confess."
Rarity turns towards you with a sultry smile. "Oh, yes?"
You hold up a hoof, bouncing out the words, "I like you, Rarity. Let's go on a date sometime!"
"Oh my." She fans herself with a laugh. "I never expected you to be so forward, but I do appreciate that." She kisses the tip of your nose. "A date, hm? I do like a night on the town. But, ah, I will say this." She leans in close, her mane brushing against yours. "I prefer to take the lead." She taps a hoof against the tip of your snout. "If that's a problem for you, then perhaps I'm not the mare for you."
You nearly melt into a puddle of joy as Rarity steps away from you. "Yes! Sorry. I mean, yeah. You call the shots and I'll follow. No problem here."
She chuckles, sweeping past you. "Don't worry, dear. Where I lead, delights follow." She brushes your snout with her tail on the way. "Come along. Let's see about that dress you were curious about."
It's one of the finest afternoons of your life. Rarity even includes a bit of grooming before and after, helping you to look your best. "What a vision of loveliness."
You:
A: Let Rarity take you where she wishes. She's the one in charge!
B: Wait, no. You want to be in charge. You set the goals!
