Applejack and Rainbow Dash were enjoying the afternoon together, something that they rarely got the chance to do. It may have just been a fabrication of Applejack's making that allowed them the time together, part of a well-thought-out many-step plan to winning the cyan pegasus's heart.

Applejack didn't plan to hide her intentions, and Rainbow Dash was less than surprised when Applejack revealed her feelings. Rainbow did, however wonder what gave the orange apple farmer the courage to finally come forward. Dash's dilemma, however, came in the fact that she had already confessed her love to Fluttershy.

"Dash, I'm tellin' ya. If you aren't a hundred percent devoted to 'Shy, then ya should let 'er go. She's got more suitors than a Manehattan-born showmare, and she don't need the confusion. I'd feel bad about stealin ya from 'er but she done told me herself that she's confused as hay with all the ponies vying for her affection." Applejack explained.

"I guess that makes sense. I mean, I love her and all, but more as a really close friend than anything. I'm not saying that I didn't mean what I said to her at all. If I could spend the rest of my life with her, I would do it in a heartbeat." Dash explained, trying to extricate herself from between a rock and a hard place, "Not that I wouldn't be just as excited to spend forever with you, AJ. I feel for all of you guys, and I just don't want to dole out promises that I can't keep."

"I think Flutters feels the same way, Dash. Why don't we go on and talk to her and see what she has to say."

"I think that's probably a good idea." Dash agreed. They went over to Fluttershy's cottage, Applejack walking and Rainbow Dash hovering by her side. They conversed about how stupid love was, and how weird it was that the princess had a thing for Fluttershy, musing in agreement about almost everything they talked about. They made light of the rather long trip to the cottage, and before they knew it they were steps away from the gate leading into the cottage.

Wasn't it a little bit strange that the gate was wide open, they asked each other, closing it as they continued. Wasn't it stranger that the front door was open too, they closed that as well after entering. That's when they saw it. Angel, clearly motivated by the one brain cell in his head capable of empathy shivered as he pointed up the stairs, towards where Fluttershy's bedroom was. They were utterly confused; had the Princess reprimanded her, did she finally have a nervous breakdown?

Dash cracked the bedroom door and stepped back in surprise, staying silent enough that Applejack also took a peek. Their eyes met and they knew that they needed to intervene to calm the distraught and sobbing pegasus.

"What's wrong 'Shy" came Applejack's voice as she slowly walked through the door. Fluttershy sunk deeper into her pillows, willing herself to stop existing with every working fiber of her being.

"C'mon Flutters, we just want to help." Rainbow said, following closely behind Applejack. She laid a hoof on the crying pegasus's wing, attempting to soothe the mare before her.

"I-I'm sorry..." Fluttershy started, "Y-You should p-probably l-leave me alone... I-I need to l-let the pri-pri-princess know I f-failed."

"Aw, sugarcube, I'm sure ya didn't fail... Ya done right by me, if it's any consolation. Wait..." Applejack said, "Did Big Mac do this to ya? I'll right smash his brains in if he done messed ya up like this."

"N-no, he was a p-perfect gen-gentlecolt." Fluttershy said, "I-I even t-thought about... v-visiting him s-sometime. B-but I sh-sho-shouldn't d-do that. I-I'm already a..." she paused, wailing for several seconds before finishing her sentence "h-harlot!"

"That's not true at all, Fluttershy! You're a beautiful, talented mare!" Rainbow said, attempting to counteract the depression imbued in the nearby yellow tear-factory.

"But that's n-not r-right. I s-stole your v-virginities! I'm a d-dirty pony. I should j-just give up. I've already r-ruined six lives, w-what's one m-more?"

"Fluttershy! Y'all can't be talkin' like that!" Applejack said harshly, terrified for her now suicidal friend. "Who has y'all thinkin' like this!"

"I-It's R-Rarity. S-she t-told me it's w-wrong!" Fluttershy started, gaining a little composure as she prepared to dole out unending self-hate "I-I should have talked to her first. S-she always knows what's right and what's wrong! I-I always t-trusted her judgment and s-she told me that I've been r-ruining lives! I never wanted to h-hurt anypony. I-it just felt good so I kept doing it. P-princess Celestia said I should only d-do it with ponies I l-like, b-but maybe I took that too literally."

"Sugarcube, y'all got yer head turned around and stuck on backwards. Ain't nopony think all antiquated like that! Rarity's just a sour old stick in the mud since she didn't get her happy endin' with that Blueblood fella."

"B-but she s-said..."

"Flutters, we know what she said! But she's wrong. We're your friends, and we wouldn't have let you have sex with us if we weren't confident that there was nothin' to lose by sharing every part of us with you."

"Y-you're j-just disillusioned by the s-sensation of it all. J-just like me. I-I f-feel horrible, I even made my closest friends think it was okay." Fluttershy said, spinning her own web of self-deprecation ever thicker. "I even convinced Twilight and Pinkie it was okay! I must have been a bad apple from the start if I even managed to c-corrupt the Princesses. W-what will C-Celestia do with me when I t-tell her that I-I'm responsible for all of this chaos."

"Fluttershy, you need to listen to what we are sayin'. Ain't nothin wrong with spendin' some of your nights with a friend. That's what friends are for! We didn't sign up to be the Elements of Chastity; we're the Elements of Harmony. And you can't pick and choose what natural parts of bein' a pony constitute harmony. So havin' sex is somethin' we should all be comfortable with. Rarity included."

"But, I..."

"Please, Fluttershy, forget what Rarity told you. I promise it was her jealousy speaking. She's so afraid she'll spend forever alone that she probably freaked out when she found she was last in line to get a piece of your flank."

"S-she did say I should have g-gone to her first. D-do you really think she could just be jealous?" Fluttershy asked, her tears finally coming to an end as her wits returned to her.

"I'm positive, 'Shy. She's probably been eyein' you for a while now, but she probably ain't got the courage to tell ya. If I were you, I wouldn't even give her the time of day anymore, but I know you'll find some reason to forgive her for this awful thing she done."

"I-I... Yeah... If she really didn't mean it, t-then there was no harm done."

"No harm done! She had you crying in here for the past hour, and you're just going to say no harm done? I don't know how you can be that quick to forget about it, Fluttershy, but I'm certainly not going to let this go until that overdressed white fluffball comes here and grovels on her knees for forgiveness."

"I agree with ya there, Dash. What say we take a trip over to the boutique and teach her a lesson?"

"Yeah, I got half a mind to turn that marshmallow into fluff."

"P-please don't hurt her! S-she doesn't deserve that."

"Fluttershy, if she wasn't our dear friend and roughly 17 percent of the force keepin' our world in one piece, we'd serve her up on a platter to the first griffon we could find."

"Hey, that's a myth! Griffons don't eat ponies." Dash started. "O-oh... you were making a point there."

"Like I was sayin', she's mighty lucky that she's our good friend, cause if it was anypony else, when we were done with them, you wouldn't know if their fur was white or red."

"I-I... Just... please be gentle!" Fluttershy said as the two ponies embarked on what, dependent on their moods could be either a brutal hit or gentle retribution. "I sure hope Rarity can forgive me for whatever those two do..." Fluttershy shuddered as she felt an imaginary Applejack staring lasers into her for being so unbearably kind.

"Rare, open up! We got to talk to ya about what ya said to 'Shy." Applejack screamed through the door of the Carousel Boutique. The fashionista, again, took her time getting to the door, having not heard what Applejack was saying. The two ponies burst through the door forcefully as soon as she opened it a crack.

"Careful! You're liable to break something if you just burst in here."

"You're one to talk about breaking things, Rarity." Dash sneered.

"I have absolutely no idea what you could possibly intend to insinuate with that. What has you two in such a terrible mood?"

"I can't believe that ya even have the audacity to ask a question like that. Y'all darn well better know why we're here. Ya crushed little Fluttershy's spirit, and now yer gonna act like it didn't even happen!"

"I honestly can't think of anything I've said to Fluttershy that wasn't called for. We had a conversation this morning about her recent discretions, and I informed her that they were rather in bad taste."

"Oh, were they now? Where do you get off being the white knight and saying who can and can't have a little adult fun?" Dash asked angrily.

"You don't understand. Has she told you how many ponies she's been with? Six! Not one, not two, but six whole ponies that she has robbed the innocence of, and she came here expecting to make me the seventh!"

"Rarity, you don't understand what's goin' on here, do ya? Fluttershy is the nicest pony we know, and I'll be darned if she shows up on my doorstep and asks me for a roll in the hay, I know she don't mean bad by it."

"Don't you see? She's betrayed our trust; she has used our friendship against us. Who's to say what the princess actually asked of her."

"And now you think it's okay to defend yourself by suggesting that Flutters would lie? I don't think she has a lying bone in her body!"

"I'm just saying that she's gone too far! Sex is not something to be taken lightly. She could have made the mature decision and picked one pony. I wouldn't have minded teaching her what I knew."

"Oh, so this whole thing is about jealousy, I knew it. You ain't no better than the monster you're makin' Shy out to be."

"I am not jealous! Such emotions do not become a lady. I'm merely saying that I would have been more than happy to offer myself in lieu of all the other souls she's condemned."

"Right. I'll believe that when pigs fly. You need to get yourself together and realize that you're wrong."

"Rainbow Dash, it's entirely normal to be in denial when faced with what she's done to you. And to think that you were the first of us, that she could have made the right decision but betrayed you four more times over. This must be especially hard for you."

"Rare, you need to shut your buckin' mouth. Yer not helpin’ anything here. Just because you think that Fluttershy should've come to you first doesn't mean you get to shame her or any pony over it."

"I simply don't understand how you two are both so blind. Fluttershy has simply progressed down a darker path, and she has claimed a part of each of you in the process. I'm sure soon enough you'll be able to accept her for what she is, just a filthy stable slut. I'm trying to think no less of her as a pony because of her decisions, and I'm sure that one day I'll be able to forgive her for making such unforgivable decisions, but for right now, I'll just have to hope that she distances her debauchery from me."

Applejack froze, not believing that Rarity even had such derogatory words in her vocabulary. Rainbow dash turned three different shades of red as smoke threatened to come out of her ears "What did you call her?" she asked through clenched teeth, one of her hooves finding it difficult to remain on the ground.

"It's certainly not a term inappropriate for what she's done, Dash. I am sure that Twilight would be able to realize that poor Fluttershy has become a simple slut. It's definitely something I would have never believed myself bu-" Rarity was quickly silenced as she felt her jaw dislocate from the force of the cyan hoof that decimated the side of her face.

"I'm not going to let you talk about our friend like that. Just because you are disillusioned by your loneliness does not mean that you get to make irrational prejudgments rooted in some puritan fantasy of your own construction. You will rethink everything you have thought since Fluttershy spoke to you this morning, except this time you will remember that she is the nicest, most harmless pony you have ever met and that she was on a mission from the princess to learn, just like Twilight," Dash said, her voice carrying such authority that even Applejack cowered in fear. "And Celestia help you if I ever find out you called her that in front of her face."

Rarity reassembled her jaw, an aching soreness already building in her mandible. "I'm just trying to..."

"YOU BUCKING MADE HER CRY, YOU BITCH!" Rainbow screamed in finality, flames possessing her irises as she willed the unicorn in front of her into a puddle. In the midst of having both her jaw and eardrums destroyed, Rarity finally realized that her viewpoint helped nopony. She had been heralding herself as pure, when really she was just lonely. She had been crusading to crucify Fluttershy for her transgressions, when the root of her hatred was of her own making, buried in her repeated rejections.

"I-I... I made her cry? I didn't even realize... "Rarity started. ”W-what was I thinking."

"Really now, what were ya thinkin'?" Applejack added, finally pulled out of her stupor.

"Just... Are you sure that Fluttershy isn't doing this for the wrong reasons? I may not have had the right idea to begin with, but I assure you that nonetheless, I was concerned for Fluttershy."

"Flutters knows exactly what she's doing. I've never seen somepony so sure of themselves, and I've never met a pony who genuinely cares about others as much as she does. When you told her she was hurting others, she was questioning her entire existence. I swear, Rarity, you don't ever realize how powerful words can be. You told her a few simple mistruths, and there she was ready to off herself." Dash explained, caught in a brief moment of serenity.

"O-Off herself? L-Like s-suicide?"

"That would be what she meant" Applejack replied dryly.

"Oh Celestia, what have I done. I-I need to apologize to her right away!"

"If she'll even see you. Ever." Dash spat, the serenity now gone.

"Rare, I'm sure if you're genuinely sorry, she'll have no problem accepting your apology. But you need to set the record straight too. Ya can't just say sorry for what ya said, as much as it'll hurt your pride ya gotta tell her that you were wrong."

"I don't think you'll have to worry about my pride... There's not much left of it after I realized what a monster I had been." Rarity responded, placing her saddlebags over her back and setting out for the cottage. Rainbow Dash and Applejack followed suit, making sure that the marshmallow wasn't just making a run for the train station.

"Shy?" Applejack said cautiously, entering the cottage, finding the yellow pegasus entirely composed and sipping tea from a small mug. "Rare came to apologize, if that's okay with you."

"Oh." Fluttershy said, as if all emotion had been drained from her. "If she came all this way..."

"Now ya don't have to be nice to her just cause she got off her lazy butt for once."

"No, it's okay, I trust you guys."

"Okay, then." Applejack motioned to Rainbow Dash, who was standing just outside the doorway, guarding it as to prevent Rarity from entering prematurely. She stepped aside and the yellow pegasus and white unicorn locked eyes. Rarity quickly trotted inside and Rainbow resumed her post at the door.

"Darling, I can't start to tell you how horrible I feel. I don't know what came over me this morning. I wasn't thinking at all, calling you all of those things and chastising you for having the courage to explore more mature disciplines. I couldn't have been more foalish. Please do accept my apology."

"Rarity, of course I accept your apology." Fluttershy responded, her face lighting up, as it appeared that all the emotion she previously lacked flooded back. Rarity turned to seek approval from Applejack and Rainbow Dash, inadvertently showing the now severely bruised side of her face to Fluttershy. "Oh my, Rarity. What happened to your cheek?"

"I um..." she paused, looking at Dash, who was currently staring daggers again, "fell rather badly on the way here. A loose stone in the pavement, you know. Heh."

Fluttershy feigned naiveté "Oh, isn't that the worst. Here. Let me kiss it better for you." Fluttershy giggled, placing a rather chaste kiss on the blemished side of Rarity's countenance.

Rarity took this moment to seal her redemption. She whispered into Fluttershy's ear as she started to move away, "That's not the only place you can kiss..."

"Oh dear, Applejack, Rainbow Dash... I do believe that Miss Rarity and I will need some time alone." The other two blinked in shock and slowly backed toward the door.

"Wait... Before we leave... What we originally came here for was to... well... ask your blessing, I suppose." Dash interjected, "We wanted to make sure that there would be no hurt feelings if we... you know."

"Aw, of course not. You two would be adorable together." Fluttershy giggled, winking at Applejack.

"Ya hear that, Dash... She thinks yer adorable."

"Shut up, AJ." she said, both of them leaving the cottage, the door closing behind them.

"Now what was that you were saying about kissing?" Fluttershy asked, surprised when Rarity answered by kissing her directly, holding for several seconds as both ponies began to blush.

"Dear, I do believe that this is something best performed in the bedroom."

"I find that the space is considerably less important than who is occupying it. But if you would prefer... I have no qualms."

"On the bed it is then." Rarity affirmed, "I do hope you will show me what I've been missing out on." The unicorn led the way upstairs towards the bedroom.

"Oh... I'll show you indeed." Fluttershy snarled, her ferocity intimidating Rarity. "I intend to make up for lost time with a vigor. If you're prepared."

"Yes ma'am!" Rarity saluted, "What should I do to get started."

"Well, why don't you lie on your back there and I'll teach you how to properly eat a marshmallow."

"For Celestia's sake, why does everyone insist on calling me a marshmell-" Rarity was quickly cut off, "Oh..." The pain in Rarity's jaw disappeared as the pleasure in her loins stirred. She wasn't exactly prepared, since there was a distinct lack of verbal foreplay, but nonetheless, Fluttershy was ready to bring her to the highest heights of pleasure. Rarity was quickly converted from refined lady to shivering bundle of nerves as Fluttershy tapped all of her sexual prowess to ravish the pony under her. Rarity, in her crusade for chastity, had managed to become uncomfortably pent-up. So much so that the lightest touch from her friend’s tongue was a bolt of lightning, lighting her on fire from the inside. Soon, she was sure, she would be sorely disappointed in how the various noises she would make would be rather unbecoming for a lady. But then again, she had to make up for much more unbecoming actions than that.

Fluttershy felt as if she had a point to prove. She needed to show Rarity that she wasn't losing anything by opening her legs. Not that she had much doubt that these revelations would come naturally, but this was a chip on her shoulder that needed to be disloged. Fluttershy's fervent ministrations were having their desired effect, making the pony they targeted melt, as if warmed over a campfire and then smothered with chocolate and graham crackers.

"Fluttershy, please!" Rarity screamed, her magic flaring out and pushing her yellow mistress further forward. "I'm so close!" Fluttershy did a quick double-take; she had been at this for only a minute or two. Her white friend may in fact take the place of Rainbow Dash for fastest pony in Equestria. She made deeper and more forceful passes at her friend's marehood, finding out a certain nub with each pass. Rarity's screams became more fevered and erratic as she thrust her hips up at the only thing that mattered to her right now.

Fluttershy kept up her effort despite the violent feedback from the pony below her. She had a single goal, and she was going to accomplish it. Suddenly Rarity's screams went silent and only a moment later, she let out a quiet squeak, something that would have been more likely to come out of Fluttershy's mouth than hers. Her hips lifted up and her hind legs shook violently.

Fluttershy, immensely proud with herself, could still not stop but giggle at the fact that her face was covered in a sticky substance, just as if she had eaten a real marshmallow. Rarity was not composed enough to be thinking on such a level. She instead was relegated to a world that consisted of a dull throbbing and a kalidescopic show of colors that she had a feeling she shouldn't be seeing. Rarity had only experienced one previous climax, and her self-induced guilt over pleasuring herself had entirely negated its effects. This time she felt no nagging guilt, she was so dissuaded from her previous point of view that nothing could threaten her high.

Fluttershy, now more than aroused herself, clambered on top of the comatose pony below her, trying her best to bring her back to reality. Her animated efforts were having no effect, and she started to get more and more aggrivated as she was left to cool off for so long.

"RARITY!" she screamed, somehow breaking the mare's reverie, "Would you... um... return the favor?"

"Oh, I'm sorry." Rarity said, realizing her blissful experience was ruining the mood. "Most certainly! It would be unbecoming of a lady to withhold reciprocity for such a divine effort as that. I should say that is my duty, neigh, my pleasure to-"

"Rarity," Fluttershy started, aggrivation as obvious in her voice as the moistness between her legs, "What would be unbecoming right now is to lecture the beautiful and very needy mare before you while you should be rutting her senseless."

"I understand." Rarity responded, accepting subtle cues from Fluttershy as the two participated in the intricate dance of switching places on a bed made for one. Rarity stood staring at the mare who was currently shaking her rear end at her. "Dear, I don't belive I will be able to give you quite the life-affirming and bone-shattering experience you bestowed on me, but I certainly do have a couple ideas."

Rarity took up her position between the overly inviting legs of the pony who had just been between hers, inhaling deeply as she took in the pungent musk of a mare who could wait no longer. Her hoof delicately traced along the pink flesh that stood in stark contrast to Fluttershy's yellow coat, playing gently as if to take in its splendor before fully engaging in the delights it had to offer.

Fluttershy squealed softly as the she was teased to gently, wishing both for this to continue, and for the mare to take mercy on her. She was going to go mad far before she could come at this rate and Rarity, it seemed, would be an entirely willing participant in her impending commitment. "Rarity, please! D-don't tease me." The day's emotional roller coaster was taking a toll on Fluttershy once more as her unsated arousal quickly turned into tears. She was quietly sobbing, her voice and tears caught by a nearby pillow. Rarity, however, picked up on her friend's disappointment.

"Fluttershy... I have no intention of teasing you any further. In fact, I do believe you deserve the best I have to offer." Rarity quickly lowered her head and positioned her horn. She slowly brought the tip to the engorged flesh of Fluttershy's marehood and dragged the tip across until she reached a little bud that she had ascertained was the key to unending pleasure. Fluttershy had an inkling of what Rarity was planning, but her logical side was entirely shut down as the pony pleasing her induced a slight vibration through her horn. "That being said, I do intend to progress linearly. But I do suppose that I shall have to adjust for the fact that I am unnaturally sensitive, and you my dear, may need a little more attention."

"Y-Yes!" Fluttershy squealed, the vibration unfamiliar but not unwarranted. Rarity continued the vibration, but brought her horn away from its previous occupation, instead preparing it to explore territory no pony, stallion or mare, had claimed. "Ah... Please, Rarity... Do it!"

Rarity plunged forward and felt her horn clamped into place as Fluttershy's insides were uncompromising in their reluctance to release their newfound vibrating friend. Impaled as she was, Rarity's plan of attack was slightly skewed, so she changed her tactics slightly. Instead of moving her horn, she simply manipulated the spell so that the vibrations went along it in waves. Having the crux of her magical ability trapped inside another pony gave Rarity more than enough time to poke and prod with tendrils of magic, finding out which points were most sensitive, and adjusting her spell accordingly.

After a good minute or so, Fluttershy finally relaxed, and Rarity started to slowly thrust her horn in and out. This act turned out to be symbiotic, giving Rarity pleasure as well as doubling the effect of Rarity's actions. Rarity felt beads of wetness traveling down her horn, and caught one with her tongue as it dripped down over her muzzle. She savored the taste, and found that the almost bitter taste of Fluttershy's excitement was surprisingly intoxicating. She could hear Fluttershy's moans increasing in pitch along with her increase in arousal, and this tandem ascent to the peaks of desire drove her forward with ever-increasing passion.

Both mares were losing themselves to the attentions of the other, Fluttershy screaming her approval for Rarity's multi-stage horned attack while Rarity moaned in pleasure as Fluttershy's marehood gently milked her horn. In an amount of time that would have surprised Fluttershy by its brevity, they both began their final pass at the highest point of pleasure. Rarity thrust with such force that she thought she might get a concussion, and Fluttershy once more tightened unnaturally on the horn of her pleasurer.

"Oh Sweet Celestia, Rarity! I'm c-coming so much!"

"M-Me too, Fluttershy! A-Ah!" Rarity felt them both freeze as one. The only sound that could be heard was Rarity's horn discharging bolt after bolt of her magical essence into Fluttershy. The liquid now inside her tingled as nothing else could, almost threatening to bring Fluttershy to another climax. Both of them screamed their climax for what seemed like an eternity of eternities, neither one wanting to move in the slightest.

After an excruciatingly long time, the two ponies unhinged themselves from their unnatural junction, and moved to snuggle up on Fluttershy's no longer carefully made bed. The two of them faced together, Rarity's soaked horn clearly visible to a now embarrassed Fluttershy.

"Um... I've never had a pony put anything inside before..." Fluttershy squeaked, her voice still betraying the intensity of her orgasm.

"Really? Well, you must tell me then; was it everything you expected it to be?"

"I um... didn't really think about it that much. I kind of get nervous around stallions. But um... it was really nice with you."

"Ah, yes. Stallions can be somewhat intimidating. But I don't think you should let that stop you. If I've learned anything today, which I'd like to think that I have, it's that you shouldn't dismiss something because it seems scary, foreign, or even wrong. Fluttershy, if you think you will enjoy it, then you need to put your reservations behind you and go with your heart."

"I didn't expect you to, um, turn the tables so to speak. But that is a good way to think about it. Maybe I'll find a nice stallion to be with next."

"You're going to leave me already?" Rarity asked playfully.

"I had no intentions of leaving my favorite marshmallow alone until I got my use out of her. And I do hope that you aren't worn out after only two."

"Not a chance! A lady does not become fatigued." Rarity said, "And stop calling me a marshmallow!"

"Do I have to remind you what you called me?" Fluttershy asked impishly.

"Please don't. And if you would be so kind as to withhold such conversations when around Rainbow Dash as well."

"Ah, I figured I knew where that bruise was. But as long as you are an obedient little marshmallow for the rest of tonight, I'll forget everything that happened this morning."

"Deal!" Rarity quickly agreed, "Where do I sign?" Fluttershy pointed a hoof between her legs, still grinning impishly. Rarity understood the meaning behind her friend's signaling, and repositioned herself, leaning in to kiss the yellow pegasus as her hoof busied itself at her lower anatomy.

Dear Princess Celestia,

Today I learned a lot. My friend Fluttershy helped me learn a lot about many things today, not least amongst them being the carnal arts. Initially, I was a poor friend and chastized her for her eagerness to learn as you had instructed her. I was disillusioned by my own loneliness and took it out on her. Later at the beckoning of her friends, I was made to reconsider my foalish actions, and in my repentance, Fluttershy was gracious enough to still show me what she had learned. I am most greatful for her studies under your tutelage, and I have become a better mare because of it.

Your loyal subject,

Rarity

Author's Note

There. I decreased Rarity's asshole quotient by at least 9001%. Despite the fact that the time between the publication of these chapters has been short enough that I have received no negative feedback/death threats/airstrikes, I assume that there are people who think Rarity isn't just a stupid marshmallow. I reluctantly had her learn her lesson, and now everything is peachy again, because this is a shameless clopfic, and it doesn't get to have story. I had to read like every Flarity story out there to psych myself into a mood to write this. (Although, this is definitely not Ribbons and Lace.) I hate Rarity a little less than I did when I started writing this chapter a week ago, but she is still worst marshmallow.

Next up is a big surprise, if you catch my drift. Actually, while it may be big, if you have at least 2 working brain cells, it shouldn't be too much of a surprise.
