A/N: Hey fellow bronies Darknessovertheforest coming to you again with another Fanfic hope you enjoy this one I have thought about this one for quite a long time.
Enjoy ; )
Rarity a white female unicorn with royal purple hair and three diamonds as her cutie mark is pretty much the most glamorous pony in all of Ponyville. She is also the element of generosity for the elements of harmony. Her friends are also the elements of harmony, Twilight Sparkle the element of Magic, Pinkie Pie the element of Laughter, Fluttershy the element of Kindness, also her spa friend, Applejack the element of Honesty and Rainbow Dash the element of Loyalty.
Rarity had awoken from her sleep today in a rather happy mood. She went to her mirror and brushed out her mane. She went to the kitchen and prepared herself some tea to wake her up, although she did have the now and then cappuccino from her favourite cafe. She went to her white couch and sat down to read the weekly edition of Pony Fancy she flipped through the pages until she found an article about herself. She read, "Rarity the element of Fashion: The white unicorn from Ponyville has astounded audiences all over Equestria yet again as not one but four of her dresses were chosen for the Spring line up for next year. This unicorn shouldn't be named the element of Generosity but the element of Fashion." She smiled seeing that four of her dresses were chosen for the Spring line up next year.
She looked out her window and saw the mail being delivered. She smiled and walked downstairs to collect it. She stepped out her door and breathed in the fresh air on that fine summer day. She went to her mailbox and took out a bunch of mail. She went back inside and sat on her couch again. She looked through it, saying what she received, "Bill, bill, oh a coupon for any jewellery, subscription to Pony Fancy and a letter?" she was confused, she seldom got any mail. She looked at the sender's address it read, "Manehatten" she looked at it confused, "Who do I know from Manehatten?"
She opened the letter and it read, " Dear Rarity, I saw your picture in the magazines lately and well I think, I would like to come visit you in Ponyville I shall be along in about a week hope to see you again. Love your cousin Serenity." When Rarity read the name she was nearly taken aback. She had not seen her cousin Serenity since they were still young fillies she wondered what she was doing lately. "I must tell the others this fabulous news," she said as she left to tell her friends. She went to Sugarcube Corner to tell her friend Pinkie Pie to head over to Twilight's house immediately. After which they made their way to Twilight's house.
Twilight allowed them entrance and asked Rarity, "So what's the big rush Rarity?" Rarity could only say, "Twilight please write a letter to the others that I have simply fabulous news." Twilight didn't argue and wrote the three letters adressed to Applejack, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. Which after a few minutes arrived at Twilight's house. They all sat in the living room, Rainbow Dash was first to ask, "Okay Rarity what was the big news you wanted to tell us?" Rarity could no longer hold it, "Well the big news is guess who's coming to Ponyville." the others shrugged at her. Then she said, "It's my cousin Serenity," the other friends looked at each other in happiness, Twilight spoke first, "Wow Rarity I didn't know you had a cousin." The rest nodded.
Rarity continued, "Well unfortunately none of you will know her, you see we only met once when we were still very young fillies. It was way before I moved to Ponyville even. I can't seem to remember what she looks like." Pinkie Pie then thought out loud, "Well she might be the same colour as you," The others nodded in agreement. "I guess so," said Rarity. She then continued, "Anyway we'll find out soon enough, she is going to be here in a week." Pinkie jumped up and said, "Oooooo goodie we can throw a welcoming party for her," "Yeah, that might actually be quite fun," commented Rainbow Dash, "You think she'll like it?" asked Rarity a bit concerned. The others all assured her that she would.
Soon though a week went past and the party was to be held at Rarity's boutique. Rarity looked at the time and estimated that Serenity would arrive at ten o' clock. She left her friends at the boutique and went to the train station to wait for her cousin. She could barely contain her excitement, she wondered what she would be like. She wondered what she looked like. At exactly ten o' clock in the morning the train from Manehatten pulled into the station. Rarity waited for that pony she so dearly wanted to meet. She looked through the crowd of ponies, but she could not find the one she was looking for. However when she thought her cousin wasn't there she was tapped on the shoulder and she turned to see a pony standing next to her.
She turned to face her. She was definitely a white unicorn like herself however there were differences. Serenity's mane and tail was a royal blue, however the mane had four different styles. The right side of her head was shaven up until nearly the exact middle, the middle was styled as short punk hair facing forward and then flowing up. The back of her mane was tied in a ponytail and the left side of her hair was emo styled covering her left eye. Her eyes were a dark blue like her mane. Her tail was just a normal style. Her cutie mark was three sapphires shaped like tears in a similar formation to Rarity's.
Rarity was slightly shocked, but hugged her cousin anyway. "Oh it's so good to see you again Serenity." Serenity hugged her back and said, "It's good to see you too Rarity." She definitely didn't have the same accent as Rarity, but Rarity could live with that. After they hugged Serenity asked, "So Rarity where're you staying?" Rarity continued, "Oh yes, I live in my boutique, well actually above it." Serenity snickered a bit. "What's so funny?" Rarity asked, Serenity tried to keep herself from laughing, "Oh... nothing..." she was desperately trying not to laugh. Rarity shrugged it off and continued, "Well if you just follow me I will take you to my house."
They walked all the way to Rarity's boutique and when they entered the others jumped out and said, "Surprise," Serenity was taken aback at seeing the ponies. Rarity was the first to say, "Welcome to my home Serenity." She introduced her to her friends, "Meet Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Rainbow Dash my best friends in all of Equestria," Serenity walked to Twilight who said, "Welcome to Ponyville it's wonderful to meet you," Serenity responded, "So I'm guessing you're the nerd of the group," Twilight scratched the back of her neck and said nervously, "I guess" She walked over to Fluttershy who said, "Hi I'm Fluttershy" Serenity responded, "Hm pink hair, I should try that...not," She then walked over to Applejack who said, "Welcome to Ponyville I hope you enjoy your stay," Serenity put a hoof to her snout and said, "Good Celestia, I can smell the farm on you I'd suggest you bathe next time."
Applejack didn't take too kindly to that, if it weren't for Twilight's concerned look she might have slapped her right then and there. Serenity went on to Rainbow Dash, "Hey I'm Rainbow Dash the fastest flyer in Equestria and the most awesome pony ever," Serenity knew how to respond to this, "Oh really what about Chuck Neighrris, they say he can fly around the world so fast he can puch himself in the back of the neck, Chuck Neighrris is so tough he made Iron Will cry and Chuck Neighrris is so awesome he makes things 65% cooler as opposed to your 20%." That completely caught Rainbow Dash off guard obviously she heard of Chuck Neighriss, but that made her mad at the same time. Last but not least she reached Pinkie Pie who said, "Hi I'm Pinkie Pie, but every one calls me Pinkie, but my real name is Pinkamena Diane Pie, and naturally my hair is actually straight but ever since Rainbow Dash made the sonic rainboom my hair has pretty much stayed poofy ever since." Serenity responded the only way she knew to this pony, "Hey didn't you use to live in Manehatten? I'm sure we had a nickname for you, what was it now? Oh yes now I remember we called you Miss Cookoo." Pinkie's right eye twitched and then her hair went straight and a shade darker. Rarity intervened and said, "Oh wow look at the time, I think everypony should head out now," no pony tried to argue and left immediately.
Rarity breathed and turned to Serenity who was just standing there and asked, "What?" Rarity sighed and said, "Well that was awfully rude of you," Serenity rolled her eyes and said, "Well unfortunately my parents told me to be honest with new ponies I meet." Rarity tried to keep her cool and just said, "Well you could've at least tried to be kinder." Serenity then grew sadder and said, "Oh sorry Rarity I forgot to tell you, I have... a mental illness but I can't remember the name." Rarity was shocked and could only say, "Oh my Celestia." Serenity looked at her cousin and said, "That's why we haven't seen each other in a long time, I was diagnosed at a young age." Rarity sighed and said with concern, "I'm sorry, you should have told me." Serenity nodded and said, "Yeah... yeah... I should've... I'm sorry... can you take me to my room please." "Of course," said Rarity, she led Serenity to the guest room and once Serenity had put down her suitcase she asked Rarity to leave. "Why should I leave?" Rarity asked concerned, Serenity just said, "I need to unpack."
Rarity left and closed the door behind her. Serenity unpacked her suitcase, it wasn't a lot but she then noticed she didn't pack her "medication". She shook it off and proceeded to unpack she then pulled out a knife from the suitcase. She looked at it and gulped, replaying what had just happened minutes ago, she then proceeded to "punish" herself. She slit her wrists. After five minutes of agonising pain she placed the bloody knife into the draw of her bedside table. She then left her room and decided to join Rarity in the boutique. Serenity put on one of her jackets she had packed to hide the fresh cuts. She arrived downstairs to see Rarity sorting out materials, she turned around and gasped at her cousin, "Oh my what a beautiful jacket Serenity, the next time you come visit me I definitely want one," Serenity smiled at her cousin and then said "Can I stay here for a few months, if you don't mind." Rarity smiled and said, "Well I haven't seen you in a long time so I guess a few months won't hurt."
The next day Rarity woke up to smell something burning, not worrying about her hair she jumped out of bed to enter the kitchen and saw that the oven was smoking. She quickly opened it and immediately took out whatever was burning. She coughed and opened a window to let the smoke out. Serenity came into the kitchen and said, "Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, Rarity I'm so sorry."
Rarity wiped her face and said, "It's alright, nothing important is badly damaged," "What were you making anyway?" she asked, Serenity sadly said, "I was baking you some cookies to say thank you for letting me stay for a few months." Rarity smiled and hugged her cousin, "It's alright you don't have to feel bad about anything, accidents happen darling." Serenity nodded and broke the hug and went to her room locking the door behind her. She slit her wrists again as punishment. Soon the days turned into weeks and soon those weeks turned into a month.
Rarity was growing rather impatient with Serenity's behaviour though, because whenever she had guests over she was just plain rude to them. Rarity had to apologize on her behalf all the time. But whenever the guests left, Serenity would just lock herself in her room and slit her wrists over and over again. Rarity was completely oblivious to it until one fateful night.
It was a day like any other. Rarity had just closed up shop, she went upstairs to relax, today had been a very long and hard working day. She sat down her couch too tired to even read her new issue of Pony Fancy. Then she heard crying coming from Serenity's room. She got off the couch and walked to her cousin's room and noticed it was unlocked, she quietly opened the door and walked in and asked, "Serenity is something wrong," she then took notice of the knife when Serenity turned to her. Rarity ran over to her cousin and asked concerned, "What in Equestria are you doing?" Serenity only looked into Rarity's eyes and continued to cry and cut herself. Immediately Rarity used her magic and threw the knife away from her, Serenity then went berserk.
She fought with Rarity to get the knife back, the wailing could be heard by passers by. Rarity tried to keep her away from the knife, "I need it! I need to punish myself!" Rarity couldn't process the words at the moment. She then decided restrain Serenity with her magic. She went to her room and called the hospital to come for her cousin. Within minutes the paramedic ponies arrived and restrained Serenity onto a stretcher taking her to the ambulance carriage. They left for the hospital immediately. Rarity had no choice but to call her friends to meet at the hospital. Rarity sat in the waiting area for any news about her cousin. Then Twilight and Fluttershy entered the doors and walked over to Rarity.
She looked up and said, "Oh I'm so glad you could make it, wait where are the others?" Twilight sighed and said, "You see Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Applejack are still angry at Serenity for what she said to them at the party and Pinkie Pie is still upset as well." Rarity was shocked, "Well I never, I thought they had let that go by now, I mean it's been a month since then." Twilight then snapped at her, "Hey! at least WE came, we're still a bit hurt about what she said to us but we still came for you." Rarity then lowered her head and said, "You're right Twilight, I'm sorry."
After half an hour of waiting a nurse pony stepped into the waiting area and asked for Rarity. Who stood up and walked over to the nurse and asked, "So, how is she?" the nurse sighed and said, "Well we've sedated her but we are going to keep her overnight, we found many lacerations on her forelegs. However the ones on her wrists were very deep and we had to stitch them up, so I suggest you go home and rest, we'll call you if anything happens." Rarity sighed and said, "Thank you nurse." She told Twilight and Fluttershy what she was told and left for home.
A few days later Serenity was back living with Rarity. However she was definitely different from a few days ago, she hardly left her room. The only times she did was to eat otherwise she just stayed in her room. Rarity often checked on her to make sure she wasn't cutting herself again, but, Serenity hardly ever moved. Only when Rarity had gone out with her friends Serenity found new ways to "punish" herself. Soon however she found her way back and didn't "punish" herself for over a few months.
A/N: So there you have it the first chapter of Serenity, I decided to end here because if I wanted to I could write the whole story in one chapter but I try my best to avoid that. So I hope you liked reading it and please read & review I do appreciate it and look forward to the next chapter.
