Chapter Two - The One

Twilight searched a book, that would have the answers, for hours, but eventually she gave up. She sighed as she walked to lay down on her bed. She hugged the pillow and shed a tear. She couldn’t figure out why no one liked her. She stayed there for a moment, and then decided to go to take a shower. After that she went downstairs to put the books back to their places. She lifted all the books with her magic and started setting them to the right shelves. She went to look at herself in the mirror. ‘Don’t I look good? Am I ugly?’ She ran a hoof through her mane and shook it a little. She picked up a makeup pack. Just when she had opened it, somepony entered the library. Twilight quickly brushed her mane back to its normal shape and ran downstairs. There she found Rarity talking with Spike. They laughed when they saw Twilight coming down the stairs.

“Good morning Rarity! Why are you laughing?” Twilight asked confused. Rarity floated a brush, that was stuck on Twilights mane and showed it to her. Then she smiled.

“This was stuck in your mane.” She smiled gently and then continued. “Anyway, I came to look for the new “Sapphire Stones Spectacular Dress Album”. Do you have it?” She asked and started scanning the bookshelves for the album.

“No, I don’t have it yet. It should arrive at some time next week.” Twilight got an idea. “Umm... Rarity?” She asked nervous.

“Yes darling?” Rarity turned and looked Twilight in the eyes.

“Could you... Umm... Help me with something?” Twilight asked and started following Rarity outside.

“Of course. What would you want me to do?” Rarity asked as they continued walking.

“Thank you. I would like you to teach me, how to,” she paused, “um... “chat”... with colts.” Twilight asked and blushed slightly.

“Oh Twilight. You chose the perfect teacher!” Rarity started running towards her boutique so fast, that Twilight was barely keeping up after her.

As they arrived to the boutique, Rarity started searching for fabrics.

“What are you doing?” Twilight asked, tilting her head.

“Well, the first thing we have to do, is to modify your style a bit. You are going to look smashing!” Rarity said as she pulled all the stuff she needed from the drawers. She started pushing Twilight towards the dressing room.

“I am not so sure about this Rarity.” Twilight said, trying to stop her actions.

“Don’t you trust me?” Rarity asked offended.

“Of course” Twilight answered and let out a sigh. Rarity smiled and continued her way to the dressing room. Twilight sighed again as she started following the fashionista.

Twilight and Rarity spent the next hour making Twilight look more stylish. After many dresses, mane styles and Celestia knows what, Rarity was finally happy with her work. Twilight started walking towards the mirror, which hung on the wall. She was nervous about what kind of pony had Rarity made her look like. She walked to the front of the mirror and when she saw herself in the it, her jaw dropped like a pile of bricks.

“You don’t like it.” Rarity said and looked at the floor, but suddenly her vision was obscured by a lavender color. It was Twilight’s coat.

“I love it! Thank you so much!” Twilight shed a tear of happiness on her friends shoulder. Rarity smiled.

“No need to thank me, darling. But remember, we haven’t even started yet.” She said, already walking towards her room. Before Twilight started following, she went to look at herself in the mirror once more. She looked beautiful. Her joy couldn’t be expressed with words, so she just smiled.

“Are you coming?” Rarity asked her friend, who was still smiling in front of the mirror. Twilight turned and started walking towards Rarity.

They went to Rarity’s room, where Rarity taught her, how to talk, flirt and even date with colts. They had a lot of fun, but as always, the time comes, when the fun has to end, and you have to leave. Twilight started leaving, but she had to ask one more question.

“Umm... Rarity?”

“Yes darling?” She asked and smiled happily.

“Why aren’t you with anypony? You know, like dating?” Twilight asked and made Rarity laugh a little.

“Oh, Twilight. I am waiting for the right one. I don’t want to rush it. I want somepony, who is ready.” Rarity answered and Twilight gave her an okay as an answer. She waved to her friend as she started heading home.

On her way, she could do nothing else than think about tomorrow. She opened the library door and went to her room. She took a quick shower and then went to the balcony. Again, she sat on the railing and closed her eyes. ‘Tomorrow, I am going to find me The One and nopony will stop me. I can finally be loved.’ A smile grew on her face. She opened her eyes slowly, because she didn’t actually want to open them, but she knew she had to. When she had fully opened them, she looked at the moon for a few seconds and went back inside. She laid down on her bed and wrapped a blanket around her body. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Next day Twilight woke up late on purpose because she wanted to look fresh when she’ll go to see the town colts. She went to take a long shower and spent an hour brushing her mane and putting her makeup on. She moved back to her room to put on the dress... or however was it called. She put it on and went back to the front of the mirror and gave herself a final look before leaving the library.

She left the library determined to find her a coltfriend. First she walked to the park, but strangely there were no stallions there, so she decided to go to the Sugarcube Corner. Sugarcube Corner was full of ponies. Twilight didn’t know why. It wasn’t even a sunny day like yesterday. She heard a lot of cheering, so she traveled through the crowd and saw what was the cause for all that cheering. When she saw it, she felt a weird warmth in her heart that she couldn’t explain. She tried to keep her eyes away from the amazing pony in the middle, but she just couldn’t.

It finally struck her like a lightning. It was that. It was THAT feeling. She just couldn’t do anything except run home and cry.

A/N: Finally got this chapter out and I think it turned out pretty well. Also, remember to check Chevan’s channel. He is the best proofreader/editor ever! :D
