Resolutions and Returns

Rarity walks into her room and falls onto her bed. She lies there sulking, unhappy with herself. Her life has flipped upside down so much that she doesn't know what to do anymore. After being tormented by her own feelings, what's left for her to do anyways. All she wants to do is cry herself to sleep and wash all the memories away, forget everything that’s happened.

Tears wet her bed sheets as she continues to cry. Before she knew it, Rarity was fast asleep. It must have been hours because when she awoke, it was dark outside. She got up and walked over to a window to look outside. It was pouring rain outside, each raindrop crashing against the glass. It was quite soothing and helped her relax.

If only I had somepony here with me she thought to herself. On cue she heard a knock at the door. Maybe that's Twilight!. She rushed downstairs as fast as she could, almost tripping down the stairs in the process. She thinks she stepped on Opal, but she wouldn't have cared if she did at this point. She stopped at the door to catch her breathe before opening the door. She took in a deep breathe and swung the door open. Who she opened it to isn't the pony she had in mind.

"Oh" She frowned, "It's you?"

She was face to face with the last pony she wanted to see. The local school teacher, her... ex girlfriend.

"Hey, I know I'm probably the last pony you want to see right now" She started, "But, can I come in for a second. We need to talk and its pouring out"

"Fine, but just for a minute" Rarity said while letting her in.

Rarity runs upstairs for a second to grab a towel, bringing it back down to Cheerilee.

"Here" She hands to towel to her, "There's no reason you should have to be soaking wet".

The school teacher grabs the towel and begins to try herself off.

"So" Cheerilee beings, "I'm guessing you're pretty mad at me right?"

Guessing? You're guessing! No, I hate you.

The white pony nods.

Rarity begins to speak, "Now what is it you want?"

"You know what I want. I want to apologize, and well..." Cheerilee says

"Well what?"

"Well, maybe we could start over?"

Rarity silently laughs in her head over the request.

"You know that can't happen" Rarity begins, "Besides. You really hurt me, and I don't love you anymore because of that."

"But, but" Cheerilee pleads

"No buts. You shouldn't have come here in the first place. Now I'm going to have to ask you to leave." Rarity says as she uses her magic to swing open the door.

Cheerilee bows her still damp head to the floor and slowly makes her way out. She stops at the door and turns around.

"You love her don't you?" She asks.

Raritys doesn't say anything.

"She's a lucky mare" Cheerilee says as she exits the door.

No. I'm the lucky one.

Rarity closes the door as she walks away. She stops right before hitting the stairs and thinks. She gets the most craziest idea in her head, but she seems to think it's what she needs to do. She starts at the door, almost about to pounce outside, just before remembering that it's raining and she needs a rain coat. She throws on one of her rain coats and heads outside. She shivers from the cold, but she has a motive and she's going to do it regardless of weather.

Oh I just hope she's home!

She makes her way to Twilight’s, trying to avoid any puddle that gets in her way. She goes as quickly as she can, trying not to get too wet. As she comes closer to the library, she can see that the lights are still on.

She's home!

Rarity comes up to the door and knocks several times. She waits a few moments but nothing happens. She decides to knock harder this time thinking that the last was not heard. She waits again, but this time she hears footsteps coming to the door.

Footsteps? oh, Spike.

A small green dragon opens the door for her, still rubbing his eyes as if he was sleeping.

"Rare.. Rarity?" He mumbles, "Is that you?"

"Yes, now Spike my dear. Would Twilight be awake?" She asks him.

"Yeah, she would be after that. That is if she was here"

"What do you mean shes not here Spike? Where did she go?" She stampers

"She left earlier today. Something about Canterlot, needing to get away. I don't know, whatever"

"Oh. Well, thank you Spike. You can return to your beauty sleep now. Make sure to turn off the lights will you?"

Spike moans and closes the door. As Rarity walks away she can see the lights switch off since the road got a lot darker afterwords.

So Twilight's in Canterlot then. I guess I will have to go there! But what if she doesn't want to see me? Oh who are you kidding, you need to see her! She continued to argue with herself. She continued this the whole time she was walking, and before she knew it, she was way past her house. In fact, she was at the train station.

"What can I do you for miss?" A deep voice says from behind the toll booth.

"Huh? How did I..." She starts

"What's the matter? you lost?"

"No no. Um. One ticket to Canterlot please."
