Opal's new mother

Previous Chapter

"Careful, Sweetie Belle!" Rarity cried, dashing to her little sister's side. The filly unicornscratched her head, smiling nervously at her elder sister. "Heh heh. That wasn't me! That was,uh...my hoof!" With that lame excuse, she galloped away so fast, her short curly mane was flying everywhere. The marshmallow pony sighed and shook her head. That Sweetie Bell, always getting into trouble! And getting away with it....The fashionista levitated all the rolls of fabric and gems in their correct positions with her horn. The light blue vapor fading away from it, the elegant mare trotted up the stairs.

"Oh, careful, Sweetie Belle,darling! I think you should let me do the cooking now."

"But Ma....."

"No 'but Ma' anymore. I am your mother, you're better off doing what I say!" Rarity heard their mother instruct her sister firmly. Deciding to end this, the seamstress waltzed into the dining room, which of course caught her parents' attention. The former was surprised when the latter hurried up to her, smiling. "We've decided about getting ourselves a pet. But of course, it will be mostly your responsibilty to tend to it whenever. Deal?" Rarity just nodded; she was too astonished to speak at all. "A CAT!!!" she screamed out so un-lady-likely. The mare covered her muzzle with her hooves, blushing furiously as her family stared.

"A kitty? That's soooo boooring,sis."

"Why don't you try making a sugge-"

"YAY!!! CUTIE MARK CRUSADER(what?) PET SUGGESTER!!!! TIGERS!!!" the filly screamed at the top of her lungs. Her elder sister covered her poor ears. Suddenly, the car jolted and stopped. "We're here, my little ponies. The five-star cat petshop." Father said calmly. As the family hopped down the ferrari one by one, each went into the petshop, eager to see what was inside.

"Wow...OHMIGOSH A CUTE CAT!!!!" the purple-maned mare squealed out loudly. Once again, she blushed as the other customers stared at her strangely. The former beckoned to her dad quietly and pointed to a medium-sized cat with a cute pink nose, light purple...mascara(Again,what?),snow white fur and a tuft of fur poking out from the cat's scalp. Her dad nodded. "Let's purchase it."

The family burst through the boutique's front door, feeling very excited. However, no one was more excited than the Element of Harmony. Immediately she strapped a pale dark purple collar with blue gemstones and a huge flower on it on her pet's neck. She tied a matching bow without the jewels and flower on the tuft of fur, making it stand up beautifully on the head. Alas, her new pet was free to roam about her new home. "What should we name it?" Rarity asked. The others shrugged. The latter sighed and looked out of the window. It had began to rain, and somehow the dark cloud seem to form the shape of an opal. An idea popped in her head. She wasn't going to name it Opal, though. That would be boring. Instead.."Opalescence!"
