"Oh Rarity! You sure are the fairest mare in all of Equestria," Fancypants stated leaning in closer. Raritys lips formed a smile as he stroke her mane softly. "In all of equestria, huh?" Rarity said still smiling. She fluttered her eyelashes. "You sure are! And I have just one question for you," Fancypants took his hoof away from Rarity's mane and as his horn lit up a little box floated around his side to finally steadily hover between Rarity and himself. "Rarity..." he said looking up at the unicorn's now red face. Little tears started forming in the corners of her eyes. "Ye-yes?" she said. "Will you," Fancypants asked opening the box to reveal a beautiful diamond ring. Rarity placed a hoof infront of her mouth as tears of happiness slowly made their way down her face. "Will you," he repeated once more ,"wake up?" Rarity's expression turned serious. "Say what now?" she said wiping away her tears. "Can you please wake up?" Fancypants said once more, his voice more higher piched. He smiled at her and slowly faded away. "Wait... No!" Rarity yelled. Fancypants held out his hoof and Rarity tryed to grab it. Sadly she just couldnt get hold of the stallion. "Bye Miss Rarity," Fancypants said waving as he faded into darkness.
"NO!" Rarity yelled as she jumped to her feet.
"Ah!" Spike said, jumping into the air.
"Oh... Hey the Spikey-wikey... Do you need something?" Rarity asked as she sat on the edge of her bed. She sighed and looked at Spike.
"Sorry Rarity, I didn't mean to wake you... You were screaming so I thought something was wrong..." Spike smiled and blushed slightly. To his disappointment Rarity closed her eyes and turned her head the other way sighing once more.
"Oh! You're awake!" Twilight shouted as she trotted into the room. "Why aren't you in the train station already?" She stopped and looked at Rarity's sad face, staring at a wall. "Rarity? Are you ok?" she asked walking closer. Spike sat down on the floor.
"What? Oh, Im alright, now what did you say you were her for again?" Rarity said as she looked at the ground before Twilight, avoiding eye contact with the conserned friend.
"You have your "big fashion thing" in Manehattan today, dont you remember?" Twilight asked, bowing down to look at Rarity's face. Rarity looked up into nothing and quietly retorted ,"Big fashion thing... Big fashion thing... Manehatton... Fancypants..."
"Yes! Fancypants! That was his name! The "big fashion thing" with Fancypants!" Twilight said trying to extend her neck high enaugh to make eyecontact.
"Fancypants?"Rarity asked not sure if she was still in a dream. She wasn't feeling very happy so she closed her eyes and looked away once more.
Twilight growled and grabbed Rarity's jaw. "Yes! Fancypants is in Manehattan and attending the big fashion show witch you need to get to by the train that is leaving Ponyville IN 10 MINUTES!"
Rarity's eyes suddenly widened as she stared right into Twilight's furious orbs. "Fancypants! Fashion! Fall collection! Manehattan! Is it really today!?" she yelled straight at Twilight.
"Yes! Me and Spike have been trying to wake you up for an hour already!" Twilight said, letting go of her shocked friend's face. "Bu-but... Im not ready! I haven't packed!" Rarity yelled.
"Way ahead of ya!" Applejack said as she stepped in with a suitcase in hanging from her mouth. "But that's not nearly enaugh!" Rarity yelled. Twilight backed away and rubbed her eyes. "We know..." she said. Her horn lit up and a gigant bundle of suitcases was lifted up behind the window that AJ had just opened. Spike jumped up and ran over to Rarity.
"I have something for-" he was about to say but Rarity jumped to her feet and ran to her closet. She slammed the doors open with a loud slam. She was about to start ripping at her clothes when she realised she had to be professional. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes. "Oh just this once-" she yelled as she dove head first into her gianormous closet.
Cloathes flew out landing before her friends. Spike was slowly approaching the closet but got slammed on the head by a shoe. The others took cover and Twilight used her magic to lift Spinke into her hooves. They all hid behind the bed as a rain of shoes started. Rairty finally jumped out in a beautiful floral patterned dress and a maching hat. She smiled at her friends who stuck theyr heads out from behind her bed.
"So! I've got to run!" she said nearvously as she ran over to them. She pat Spike on the head and smiled at her friends. She ran lighting up her horn and quickly falling on her back because all of the suitcases were too heavy for her magic to handle.
"Help?" she said smiling at her friends. Applejack and Twilight exchanged looks and laughed, "Sure!" AJ picked up a couple of suitcases while Twilight lifted most of them with her magic.
"Can I help?" Spike asked. All of the ponies froze. AJ turned to him. "Sure Spike, just grab that suitcase over there," she looked at a small suitcase in the corner. Spike smiled and ran over it. The others gave AJ angry looks and AJ winked at them. Spike lifted up the suitcase and ran after them as they galloped away.
"Wait up!" he yelled from behind them. AJ smirked at Twilight as she lifted Spike onto her back. "Thanks Twi!" Spike said slightly stroking Twilight's mane. Twilight's lips formed a smile as they galloped through ponyville towards the station.
From afar they could see the train engines starting and doors closing. AJ winked at Twilight and she lifted the suitcases off AJ's back and out from her mouth. This was heavy even for Twilight but she had to do it. Applejack sped up and very quickly reached the train, wedging herself between the doors and forcing them to stay open. Sweat was dribbling from her forehead as she clenched her teeth and held the door open with all of her strenght. "Come on!" she yelled to herself and she started to use more force.
Twilight used thee last of her magic to lift up the remaining bags from Rarity and she placed them in the luggage cart. "All done here!" she shouted as Rarity also made her way to them. "Just a while longer!" AJ said under her breath witch was already heavy. She was sweating harder than ever and her hooves were cramping up. "Hey! Stop it!" the train conductor yelled as he sped through the other carts towards AJ. "RARITY!" she yelled. Luckily only a moment after she did, the white mare jumped past her and landed in the cart. AJ's body couldn't take more as she collapsed ,falling out of the doorway almost landing on the ground. Twilight, who's horn was now recovered lifted her into the air before it happened though. "Thank you!" Rarity yelled from inside the cart and she blew them a kiss and waved as she sat down.
Twilight placed AJ on a bench and said ,"Wake up!" AJ didnt budge so Twilight gave her a light smack across the face. Applejack didnt wake. Twilight was getting a little conserned. She trotted over to a fountain and drew the water to AJ.
Applejack jumped up as the cold water splashed down and strainght onto her face. Then she fell back on the bench and sat there, frozen. Twilight smiled and walked over. "You alright?" she asked. AJ squinted her eyes and said,"No... It hurts..." Twilight's eyes widened. "Where?" she asks. "Everywhere..." AJ forces out of her mouth. Tears form in the corners of her eyes as she passes out once more.
"Spike!" Twilight yells. "Right here!" Spike answers as he jumps back onto Twi's back. "We need to get AJ to the hospital, I think those doors might've been a little... Too much for her..." Twilight states, flying into the air. Her horn is lit up and AJ is floating behind her. "Its not very far!" she says.
When they arrive at the hospital she gallops in and Spike holds on to her mane as hard as he could. "Help!" he yells, drawing the attention of everypony to them. Twilight stops suddenly and flings Spike into the air. He lands upside down and falls off of Twilight. "Help her!" Twilight says as her magic follows them, carrying AJ and then placing her down on a counter.
"Princess Twilight! What happened?" the doctors ask as they run towards Applejack and quickly lift her onto a big wooden slab. They carried her away on it but one of them stayed and Twilight told him about the train doors and how AJ collapsed. She also answered a few questions and then the medical pony galloped away. Twilight hung her head and slowly walked away.
"Is she going to be ok?" Spike asked, running after his sad friend. Twilight looked at him and forced a smile onto her lips ,"Yeah, she is... She might not recover fully though..." Spike looked at Twilight in confusion. "What do you mean by "not racover fully"?" he asked. Twilight opened her mouth and quickly shut it. "Just forget it, she will be just fine... Its just a little soreness..." Twilight said. Spike pursed his lips in disappointment that he didnt get an answer but he let it go. Twilight sighed and they exited the hospital.
