A Falling Star in Ponyville
Arrival: Part 3
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt took a few minutes for Falling Stars revelation to truely sink into their minds, but when it did, a tidal wave of questions surged from their mouths.
"How come we never heard of you? "Where have you been?" "How do we know your not lying to us?" "Why the secrecy?" "How did you hide your horn from everyone?"
"Please, everypony," he said "I will answer all your questions if you will listen."
*
Upon hearing this, the mares quickly became very quiet, even Pinkie Pie was listening. "You have never heard of me because I'm rather young and even Celestia and Luna don't know I'm alive. I can't remember where I have been. In fact, I can't remember anything from my past except my name, the fact that I am an alicorn and am related to the princesses, and the spell I used to reveal my horn. As for my secrecy, as i said before, I don't remember. I also wouldn't lie to all of you, who have treated me with such kindness and generosity."
It was at this moment that Falling Star realized that one of the mares hadn't asked a question. "Rarity, do you have a question for me too?"
Everypony looked at the white mare. Rarity just stood there for a minute before asking her question. "Is there any way I can get you to do some Modeling for me, Star?"
As soon as she said that, the other mares started roaring with laughter, but Falling Star just blushed his deep crimson blush and said "Sure, anytime you want."
Shortly after this, the mares went to their homes to do chores or work on projects. Star smiled at them all as they left. When he looked at Rarity he blushed again and mumbled "Goodnight"

That evening, Falling Star began to worry about where he would stay, since he didn't have a home yet. As he wondered around town looking for a place to build his home, he noticed an interesting building with the lights still on and wandered over to knock on the door. When he knocked on the door, he heard a familiar voice call "coming". The door suddenly opened and Rarity stood on the other side.
"Why, hello Star, I mean, your Majesty. Please do come in darling. I do apologize for the mess." She said.
"Please Rarity, just keep calling me Star. I'm still the same stallion. Is this where you live?" Star asked.
"Oh, I live right up stairs, I work down here. This is my Boutique, where i work on each seasons fashion lines and a few side projects. I must ask you, how do like the new outfit i made for you?"
"The outfit is incredible. I love the fact that it's the same colours as my amulet. This is, without a doubt, the best outfit i have ever had. Every stitch is even and the fabric is so light, it feels like silk. I think this outfit is perfect."

Rarity smiled in silent excitment. Here, in HER Boutique, was the Prince of all Equestria complimenting her hard work on his outfit. She loved that he was so happy with her work. It filled her with a feeling she had never known before. She looked at him and smiled even wider. Falling Star was a Gentleman, so modest even though he was royalty. He was a little shy at times, though that didn't really bother her. It didn't hurt that he was also physically attractive, either.
*
"I better go," he suddenly said "I still have to find somewhere to build my home."
"NO," Rarity said "I mean you are welcome to stay in my Guest room until you find a place to set up your home."
"Are you sure Rarity? I really don't want to be a burden."
"Oh, you won't be a burden at all, Darling. So I insist you stay, at least for the night."
"If you insist, I will gladly take you up on your offer. Thank you, Rarity."

After a few more minutes of chatting, the two of them yawned and decided to head of to bed. Rarity lead the way upstairs and showed him where everything was. Finally they stopped outside a rather plain door.
"This is where you will be sleeping." Rarity told him as she opened the door "I hope it's not too plain for you."
As Star looked around the room, his smlie grew wider.
"This is perfect, Rarity. Thank you so much." He said.
He trotted over to the bed and immediatly lay down under the covers.
As Rarity left, he thought he saw her wink at him. Soon he was asleep and his smile never left his face all night.
