A Raripie fan-fic with some epic twists

She is a masochistic fashionista. She is a reformed murderer. Can two ponies who have led two very different and dark lives come together and find the one thing everypony wants: true love? And when they do, can they overcome the challenges it presents?

my attempt at a Raripie fan-fic. It puts a little of everything in the story. Some characters will act like their tumblr alternates, but not all. Also, expect a lot of random chapters, meaning one will be epic fighting, the next slow romance, and so on. This story actually goes out to a friend of mine with whom gave me the idea for this story. Wesley Kagamine, if you are reading this, this story is for you.

Chapter 1: Party Preparations

"It's such a  nice day, isn't it Rarity?" asks a pink earth pony.

"It sure is Pinkie dear." says a white unicorn.

It is a standard summer day as far as Equestrian standards go: sunny skies thanks to the pegasus weather patrol, birds singing, and nothing blowing up. The 2 friends are lying on lawn chairs on Twilight's balcony in her library while she is out enjoying the day with her wife, Princess Luna, in Canterlot.

"You know something Rarity?" Pinkie asks.

"What is it?" Rarity asks.

"I don't think we have had a quiet day like this since Twilight moved here." she says as she looks at her friend and taking note of her in her head: looking at the beautiful brand upon her chest, a seperated heart, not a broken one and the 3 claw scars over her left eye.

"I believe you are right on this one Pinkie dear." Rarity says as she looks at her friend taking in the sight or her smooth and silky mane." I also have to say that when Twilight went crazy that day 7 years ago, we have all changed. You were more mellow, Twilight was, well, crazy, and I got these wonderful marks of beauty. The way you have your mane now, I think I like it better that way, easier to take care of." Rarity says.

"I have to agree with you Rarity. Looking back on myself, it is a wonder I didn't drive myself insane. More Crimson Delight?" Pinkie says as she offers Rarity another glass of a bubbly red liquid.

"Of course. Normally I don't partake in wine, but you simply make the best wine ever Pinkie. You must tell me your secret." Rarity says as she takes the glass with her magic.

"Sorry, can't do that. It's uh... family secret." Pinkie says nervously.

"I can respect that. So what did you do while you were in the asylum?" Rarity asks.

"Well first I did what everypony does: go crazy and try to break out. But after a few failed attempts, I have to say once you look at the place it is pretty nice. I was able to focus on other things. I even discovered I have a talent for making clothes, although not on your level." Pinkie explains.

"What do you mean dear?" Rarity asks.

"Well, I designed the Trottingham Asylum's new uniform." Pinkie says.

"The maroon coats with golden buttons?" Rarity asks.

"Well, the buttons are sapphire, but yes that is me. That is kind of why I asked you to come over here today. I wanted to know if I could work with you at the boutique." Pinkie asks.

"Of course Pinkie, I'd be happy to have you. You are my best friend after all." Rarity says. "So did you hear about Twilight and Luna?" she asks.

"No, did they get into a fight? Again?" Pinkie asks as the 2 mares walk into the main room of the library.

"No not at all dear. The opposite actually. Luna is expecting a little one soon. She's pregnant!" Rarity exclaims.

"Good for them. Do you know what this means?" Pinkie asks Rarity.

"If I know you as well as anypony does, than you are thinking something along the lines of a Hurray! You're having kids! party are you not?" Rarity says with a sly smile.

"Hehe you do know me, that is exactly what I was thinking." Pinkie says with a nervous laugh.

"I thought so, so where is the party going to be held? The castle ballroom?" Rarity asks.

"No, I was thinking we could host it in Vinyl's new club, the Bass Cannon, to help promote it and give it some good reputation right off the bat." Pinkie says. " I was going to set it up so that you had to have a date in order to get in."

"That is a wonderful idea dear." Rarity says. "So who are you bringing?"

"Don't know. How about you?" Pinkie asks.

"I don't know. I've never been to a club before." Rarity says.

"You haven't?" Pinkie asks. Rarity nods her head. "Well that settles it than."

"Settles what my dear?" Rarity asks.

"Who I am bringing to the club." Pinkie says.

"Ah I see, so who is the lucky pony?" Rarity asks.

"You." Pinkie says. "And don't even think about making dresses for it. You don't know the first thing about clubbing. Luckily, before I went to the asylum, I went to clubs more or less every night, so I'll handle the attire. You just go to Vinyl and my sister, Octavia's house and set it up. I'll Twilight and Luna onboard, ok?" Rarity asks.

"Ok dear. This will be a fun night indeed." Rarity says. Pinkie walks away and Rarit ylets out a sigh. "Why do I get these hot flashes around her? Do I have feelings for her? No, I'm not a fillyfooler. It must be some baking ingredient she got stuck in her fur and it is irritating me." Rarity says to herself as she heads off to the home of the town DJ and her marefriend. "I wonder how this night will turn out. Every outing with Pinkie lately sends me into a daze of bliss that I can barely hide. Does she feel the same way? No, stop it Rarity. You are not a fillyfooler and neither is she. Just because one of your friends is does not mean you are." Rarity says shaking her head to clear it of thoughts. "Let's get over there now and get the party set up." Rarity says as she runs towards her destination with a renewed vigor.

IT'S PARTY TIME!

"I'm not coming out Pinkie. I look rediculous." Rarity says from behind a door.

Pinkie, who is dressed in a fiery red dress and has dyed her hair to match it, walks over to the door." Rarity please, I worked hard on that dress. I designed it especially for you. Please?" she asks. Silence answers her and Pinkie turns away and walks towards the front door.

"You aren't thinking of going to that club without mwah now are you?"asks Rarity, who has come out of the room dressed in a zebra-striped dress with a black diamond necklace with white pearl earrings.

"Wow... you look beautiful Rarity." Pinkie says, than immediately hides her face as she blushes." I mean as one friend to another. Stallions will really go for you now."

"You have a point dear. I do look good, this is a wonderful design." Rarity says.

"Hello? Is anypony there? It's Twilight and Luna." Twilight calls from the front.

"Quick Rarity! Put this on!" Pinkie says tossing Rarity a plain purple dress before putting a blue one on. She rushes to the front and greets Twilight and Luna. "Twilight! Luna! How are you two? How's the baby?" Pinkie asks.

"She is fine." Luna says.

"So it is a girl?" Pinkie asks.

"Yes, we were thinking of calling her Vega Starlight." Twilight says.

"I love that name. RARITY! ARE YOU READY?" Pinkie asks.

"COMING!" Rarity yells. She comes running into the room. "Here I am, ready to go?"

"Yes we are, but where are we going?" asks Twilight.

"Can you teleport us to the interior to the inside of the building on 175 Hoofington Road?" Pinkie asks.

"OK, but why?" Twilight asks.

"You'll see." Pinkie says. Twilight shrugs and casts the spell transporting them to the said address. They are in the dark.

"Are you sure this is the right place?" Twilight asks.

"Yes it is. HIT THE LIGHTS!" Pinkie yells. The lights flash and turn on to reveal the uniquely decorated club. "SURPRISE! YOU ARE HAVING KIDS!" Pinkie yells.

"Pinkie.... all this for us?" Twilight asks.

"Of course! Anything for my friends." Pinkie says.

"HEY PINKIE!" yells a white unicorn from across the room. "GET OVER HERE SO WE CAN START WILL YA!"

"COMING VINYL! I'm being called, see you all in a bit." Pinkie says. She runs off to the turntables.

15 minutes later, after many requests for songs, Pinkie walks over to the bar and sits next to Rarity, who is drinking a white liquid. "Hey there, how are you doing? Like the song?" Pinkie asks.

"Oh? Hello Pinkie, I loved it. You have a perfect pitch."she says before taking a drink. "You should try this. It's called a Stalliona, from Stalliongrad."

"Ok. Can I get one of these drinks please?" Pinkie asks. A Stalliona slides towards her and she catches it. "Thank you!" Pinkie says before taking a drink. "Wow, this is good."

"Told you." Rarity says. An Earth stallion walks over to Rarity

"Hey sweet stuff, want to dance?" he asks.

"No thank you." Rarity says. He reaches a hoof towards her.

"Come on now sweet thing." he says. Before his hoof touches her, a pink leg stops him.

"She said n-" Pinkie starts but stops as the stallion slaps her with a loud SMACK. The music stops.

"Let's dance now, shall we?" he asks Rarity.

"Hey dickhead!" Pinkie yells. The stallion turns towards her, only to be greeted by her hooves as they smash into his face, sending him crashing through a wall. Pinkie walks over to him and stands over. "She said no. If I ever see you put your hooves on her again, I will personally rip your legs off and shove them up your ass. NOW GET OUT OF HERE!" she yells. The stallion runs away and Pinkie turns back to where Rarity is, only to find her gone. "Rarity!" she yells, running out of the club.

"Well, that's it everypony. Party's over." Vinyl says as she takes off her headphones.

Back at the boutique where Pinkie finds Rarity sitting and crying. "Rarity... what's wrong?" Pinkie asks.

"Why did you defend me?" Rarity asks.

"Because you are my friend and he was being a douche." Pinkie says sitting next to her. "But why are you crying?"

"Look at me: I'm hideous! I have these disgusting scars all over my body." Rarity says.

"Rarity, you are the most beautiful mare I have ever seen, scars or not. Don't let them get you down." Pinkie says hugging her friend." Mind if I stay the night for moral support?"

"Yes, thank you dear." Rarity says as the 2 mares go inside the boutique and close the door.
