A Tale of Two Eggheads
Chapter 1
Rarity rushed about the Carousal Boutique a feather duster hovering near her, glowing with her blue tinted magic, dusting here and there as she rapidly straightened things in the main room. The panicked look upon her face most evident. Twilight Sparkle watched her friend with a concerned frown; Sweetie Bell had come to her expressing her worry over her sister's sudden frantic and obsessive need to make the Carousal Boutique shine brighter than it usually did. Sure Rarity hated messes but this was more than a tad ridiculous.
"Ah… Rarity?" Twilight Began But it seemed Rarity hadn't heard her as she continued her dusting as straightening all the while mumbling to herself. "Rarity?" Twilight tried again as Rarity raced by, once again failing to notice her fellow unicorn. As she closed a chest she gasped.
"Ah, The kitchen!" she said racing for the door way. This time Twilight stepped in front of her.
"Rarity!" She yelled this time grabbing the white unicorn's attention.
"Goodness, Twilight dear, you needn't shout." She said as the feather duster dropped to the floor. Twilight just sighed before continuing.
"Is something wrong?… what's with the sudden spring cleaning?" She said looking around the spotless room. Rarity looked a bit surprised and looked around the room as well.
"No, nothing's wrong, why do you ask?"
"Sweetie Bell came and got me a little bit ago said you were freaking out" Twilight said looking her friend over, a bit skeptical as to whether or not Rarity was really fine. A look of realization spread across Rarity's face which broke into a small smile as she chuckled a bit.
"oh I'm just having some company over for a few weeks, it was very short notice so I was just a bit strapped on time is all, I must have forgot to tell Sweetie Bell he was coming over." She said walking back towards the doorway, Twilight followed her friend looking a little surprised.
"He?" she asked with a look of curiosity. She was glad her friend was fine but now she was interested in this colt her friend was having stay over, maybe that Fancy Pants fellow she had met in Canterlot? He seemed a lot nicer than Prince Blue Blood.
"Oh yes," Rarity said happily, "My cousin, Literary. He's a novelist from Fillydelphia. A while back I invited him to come to Ponyville for a visit, he recently wrote me saying he needed an escape from the city to finish his latest work so he'll be staying here for a few weeks." She said as her horn began to glow causing a rag, broom, and dust pan to float up surrounded by glowing blue magic.
"Oh a relative, that's exciting I can't wait to meet him." Twilight said with a sincere smile, "I'm sure everypony will be just as happy to meet him." Rarity chuckled nervously.
"ah yes well… about that, Please don't tell pinkie till he's actually here. You know how she is about… welcoming new friends and such and well, Lit… he likes things… quiet. I just want a chance to talk to him and give him fair warning before Pinkie throws a loud and crazy party." She said with a concerned look.
"Oh I understand" Twilight said nodding, "I know when pinkie gets excited she can sometimes go a little over board." Rarity sighed with relief, giving her friend an appreciative smile.
"Thank you Twilight, you're a good friend."
"Don't mention it" Twilight said happily, "now why don't you let me help you clean up?"
