The one question that changed everything

The next day, after not sleeping that well, Twilight made herself ready for a long-distance teleport right to the Carousel-Boutique.

'Alright Rarity, here I come!'

In a flash of light, Twilight appeared right in front of the boutique. 'You´ve still got it in you Twi' she thought to herself, haven´t used this ability for quite a while.

*Knock, Knock*

she thought to herself how she should approach Rarity as the door opened, but Rarity was not standing there, but rather another well known unicorn to her.

„Sweetie Belle, long time no see. Say could I speak to Rarity please? It´s rather important.“

„I don´t know, I came here moments ago to visit her but she hasn´t answered to me yet. All I know is that she locked herself in her room. She doesn´t respond to talking, knocking or even yelling. Have you got any clue why my sis behaves like this? I´m a little worried by now.“

„I only know from Spike.“

Sweetie stepped aside to let Twilight enter the Boutique and Twilight quickly scanned the room to maybe find a clue.

„So you do know, why my sis has locked herself away. What happened?“

*sigh* „As far as I know from Spike, he proposed to her 2 days ago and somehow Rarity fled from him and seperated herself.“

„REALLY, he proposed to her?? Wow, but why is she up there? They seemed deep in love with each other, why that now?“

„I don´t know and that´s the reason why I´m here. I want to solve this problem. You know, Spike is hibernating right now and I promised him to take care of that matter.“

„Hey should I make us some breakfast? I haven´t eaten since I left Manehatten.“

„That would be nice. In the meantime i will try my luck to talk to her.“

As she went upstairs, she thought 'Hmm, why didn´t she respond? Could she has soundproofed her room? Let´s check that first' arriving in front of Rarity´s door she casted a minor detection spell 'Aha, just as i thought, she really soundproofed it, but.....should I cancel the spell and speak to her? No, I try it the polite way first!' A quill and a paper appeared magically right in front of her and she wrote a note which she teleported right into the room. 'When this is not working i will teleport myself in there.'

Dear Rarity

I hope you read this message because I´m worried about you, so does Sweetie Bell. Please let me talk to you, I´m sure you had your reasons to leave, but Spike is really hurt. He´s hibernating right now but I promised him to talk with you. Please come down and have a proper conversation with us.

Your´s truly

Twilight Sparkle

P.S.: Sweetie is making breakfast right now, maybe you want something too.
