Chapter 1
The open story begins as the sun rise from its hiding place. It shines down on a small town call, Ponyville. Waking every stallions, mares, fillies, and colts. The sunlight, also, pierces through a window of a small round buiding. Awakening the sleeping mare. She got up stretching and yawning. Pampered herself up, finished eating her breakfast, and began working on her designs.
As the seamstress of a fashion designer, she would always dream to be like those rich ponies from Canterlot. But, sadly, she have to be born here in Ponyville, where being called by those snobby high classes “country ponies” like her. She never like being “country”. She is very ladylike, has a sense of fashion, also keeping herself from being dirty from the dirty ground, and being generous to her friends. Her name is Rarity, one of the elements of harmony and holder of element of generosity.
“If I only wish that someday, some pony, a stallion. Maybe that could take me away from all this. A prince charming perhaps?” her eyes narrowed, “A prince charming who isn't a royal pain....”
The white mare still won't forget the day on what happen at the gala last time with Prince Blueblood. A piece of white fabric was surrounding with light blue aura as it floats on the table where Rarity was.
As she starts cutting the fabric, she places them on the mannequins. Then, magically bring out some equipment as she sings more. She starts daydreaming about herself in a royal wedding with her prince charming. She was wearing a beautiful wedding dress much like Princess Cadence’s wedding dress. Standing beside her is her soon-to-be husband, whose face it not shown to her. (Let’s just said he’s a random pony.) He smiles at her as she did the same.
The daydreaming end when she heard knocking from downstairs as she finishing up her dress. It would probably some customers looking for some outfits.
Afterwards, she open her shop up so letting ponies in her shop for outfits. Greet them politely all is matter. Every pony love designs. While helping a mare find a fitting room, she notice a lovely couple came up for her and ask if she have a wedding dress for the bride to be. She said she did one just today and offer it to the mare.
After seeing her hard work taking away after the bride buys and leaves, Rarity felt like she couldn't have hope to find a special pony for her. She is a beautiful mare and she deserves one for crying out loud. She leaves the shop for a while to see what her friends up to. She was hoping to get thing off her mind and focusing her something else. Maybe finding a stallion perhaps.
Oh, who is she kidding? No stallion would not every see her seriously. Not even a “country” mare like her.
Rarity’s Pov
I actually feel unsightly myself that I would never be able to find me a stallion. I ever imagine what he think of me really? Me? A beautiful mare like me who would do anything for get attention. Oh, listen to me. Jamming on and on with this. What would it matter to be so kind for a living? Maybe. Just maybe I will find my prince charming. As I walk back home, I notice my little sister, Sweetie Bell, who was staying over at my house since my mother and father are on vacation again, walk up to me and gave me a letter that came today. I took it and read it. An invitation to Fancypants’s party from Canterlot. Me? Rarity to Fancypant’s party with the high society? This is absolutely marvelous! So, excited that I starting packing now.
But, I stop myself wonder? Why did Fancypants invite me to the party after what happen last time. Shudder with memories of the disaster of the party that was savages by my friends, who came to visit me to celebrate Twilight's birthday party. My own friends embarrassed me right in front of the rich ponies. The reason was me. All I ever wanted was to blend in and show them that am not a "country" folk from Ponyville and show off my fashion designs.
Maybe... Maybe I wasn't good for them. I never gonna be blended in.
I glance to the window. Seeing not far is Canterlot from Ponyville. I begin to sing. Maybe I tried making a happy face. I walk over to my mirror. Smiling with my "happy face" as I continue singing. My smile went with a frown. No pony would ever think of me like that. I magically over one of my mannequins. I pretend it was a stallion and dance with it. I keep on dancing. Twirling around and around with the mannequin.
Thump!
The mannequin fall on the floor as I stop dancing. Looking at it makes me feel... empty inside. I sat back on the bed curl up in a fetish position. I grabbed a pillow and hug it. Leak of tears starting to come out. I'll go to Canterlot tomorrow.
The next day at the train station, am already to go to Canterlot. All my friends, including, my little sister and her friends are there also. They wish me well and goodbyes. I told them I would write them as soon a possible once I in Canterlot. The train whistles it's whistle meaning letting the passengers know it is time to go. I went in, find me a sit, and look at the window. I wave at my friends by the window as they wave back. The movement of the train start slowly move.
I sigh and look down. I wonder what lays ahead.
Author's Note
(Auther’s note: End of this chapter.
This story is more focusing on Rarity probably of finding some pony see her more “elite” than a “country”. We all know she wanted to be a spotlight and wanted the high society to like her, but she fears what would every pony think of her social behavior and stuff. So, hopefully the next chapter will be better.)
Chapter 2
Four hours of traveling, the train arrives at the train station in Canterlot. Rarity gathers her things and walk out the door. Once waiting of her arrival the royal guards, who Twilight told the Princess of Rarity stay in the Canterlot for two weeks. So, Princess Celestria accepts the offer of letting Rarity staying at the castle. She glad to have a friend like Twilight.
The guards escort her to the carriage as one of them places her bags in the carriage. Then on their way the castle, Rarity felt like royalty already. She just wish she would live here instead of living in Ponyville. That is one of the reason she tried her best to be like them.
“Ma'am, we are here.” said the guard.
Snap out of her daydreaming, she notice they arrive at the castle. She thank them and gathers her things. One of the guard offers to carried her bags. She accepts and let him carried to her room. One there, she was greeted by Princess Celestia.
“Welcome, Rarity. I hope you enjoy your stay in Canterlot will be swell.”
“Yes. Of course. Fancypants, however, inviting me this party he is throwing. But, I wonder what is it about though?” she questioned.
She knows she does have a crush on Fancypants ever since the garden party disaster. He was the only stallion who would never think of her as a “country” pony from Ponyville and her friends too. Relief was all she won't be worried of.
“Oh, you haven't heard?” said Princess Celestia.
“Heard what your grace?” said Rarity being formal.
“Fancypant has proposed to Fleur di Lis. He getting married.”
The words starting to replay over and over. Married. He's getting married. Married to that pink maned mare, who always cling on him dearly.
Her upper hoof cover her eyes. Tears leak down her cheeks, hair being all messy, her makeup being smudged. She just lays there. Heartbroken. She rolled on her back. Eyes focusing on the ceiling then things started to get blurry as she cries.
She cries and cries, and cries. Wailing her heart out. About a few hour, minutes, or so, she calm down. Feeling resurged and sloppy, she groggy walk over to the bathroom to wash away her depression.
Turning on the warm water as she step in letting the water hit her coated body. She sigh and bring washing herself. Once the bath is over she instantly walk her way the mirror. Glanced out the window seeing that Celestria is lowing the sun down as Luna begin to rise the moon. The time for the party is under way. So, Rarity begins to get herself ready.
It was an early night and the party just started. Many ponies have gather at the castle ball for Fancypants and Fleur di Lis's congratulation party for their marriage. Chatting stuff and so on. Rarity had arrive at the party. She wearing a beautiful pink dress with her hair made in a bun.
(A/N: If you all are wondering what dress am talking about, it the one in the season 3 episode 3: Too Many Pinkie Pies.)
A few of mares caught glimpse her dress and was awed by it and, somehow, goes over to her and ask how lovely her outfit is. Rarity felt graceful of her work she is wearing. Being admired by them made her a bit better from her depression she had. Not too sure of being here though. All she wanted to find Fancypant, congratulate him of his propose, and leave.
Excuse herself to get herself a drink from talking with the mares she strolled her way the food table. Saying “excuses” and “pardons” of getting through these ponies in her way but stop herself to upon some pony, some stallion she does not won't to meet. Standing right there by the food table is none other that the rude prince.
Prince Blueblood.
So many flashbacks flash through her eyes of remembering what happen last time at her first time at the gala. The snobby prince was ungrateful and rude to Rarity at the gala. Even used her as a shield when the cake that Pinkie Pie dived in, heading towards them. Just because he didn't won't his coat get ruined.
She will never forgive him.
And so she took a deep breath and walk over to the punch bowl. She took a glass as she about to magically herself a punch, some pony beat her to it and pour it to her glass. Her brow raised and look at the pony who do it. It was none other than Prince Blueblood himself.
She thought to herself, 'why would he do that?'
“Um, thank you, Prince Bluebood,” small smiled across her gentle face.
“You are very welcome, Miss Rarity,” he said with a gently smile.
Both didn't say much or tried to say anything.
“Well... once again thanks for the punch,” as she was about to leave a hoof grab her gentle by her arm.
“Miss Rarity, wait. There is something I needed to say,” he pleaded.
She glance at him startle by this sudden reaction, “Yes?”
“Miss Rarity... I... am sorry,” he apologized, “after how I treated you at the gala last time. I was such as you say a “royal pain” to you. How I was uncounted to a woman.”
Rarity, without a doubt could not believe what she hearing. This had got to be a joke or is he pretending to be sorry.
“Are you serious or you just being sorry for what you did to me at the gala last time?”
“I am quite serious. Please, Miss Rarity, I am sorry for using you as a shield after that cake was heading towards us. I just don't want to get my coat all dirty. Hehe…” He notices she was glaring at him.
“Too soon?”
“Too soon.” she grumble.
“Ah. Yes. Sorry. Well, Miss Rarity, I must leave you in peace. I hope that someday we sort out of our deals and start over. Good day, m'lady,” as he said he leaves her be.
Who could have image? Him. Apologize to her. He did use her as a shield and she still won't forget them. But, he did apologize so she will forgive him.
Hours has past and the party went perfectly. Soon, it was now time for Fancypants announce his sayings. Everypony gather around to hear. Well, everypony, except, Rarity. She kind of glad to hear him married some mare who always clinging on him a lot. Just hearing him speak of how he loves his soon to-be-wife makes her gag.
She couldn't take this so instead goes to the garden outside. In the garden, there are some animals in there, minding their own business. Rarity saw an opening spot as she goes over and sat on the ground.
Once she alone, she let herself cry.
“Oh, how can I be so selfish?” she said, “Why didn't I declined the invitation he sent me?”
Drop of tears still raining down from her face, soaking the ground. She whimpers and wails. She kept on crying without noticing a handkerchief floats to her face. When she does notice it, she at first blink for a moment, but took it wiping her eyes.
Once she was done she wonders who gave her a handkerchief. Did somepony heard her cried?
Maybe.
