Today was the beginning of another glorious day as the dew heavy grass of Equsetria sparkled in the morning sun. Rarity rubbed her precious pony eyes. What a beautiful day in Equstria, another wonderful chance to do frendie things. What do ponies do in Equestria? Rainbow Dash brushed her mane with a touch of insecurity, missing a small patch of hair from a minor accident. She thought to herself, "what could my friend Apple Jack Be up to today? I'll have to visit her before this day is done!"
Princess Celestia pushed the sun higher in the sky, taking extra care to give light to the flowers and trees. Bees flitted and swooped along the garden paths of her kingdom, though she thought them to be loathsome creatures, she loved them anyway. They too worshipped her with their golden syrup of nectar and she thought it was divine to personally have an army of workers manufacturing sweetener for her afternoon tea. As a matter of fact, she had a date for tea that afternoon with the fourth best tennis player in Equstria. Even though he wasn't the first best, she was still impressed with his charming good looks. His cutie mark was also an indication of his constitution and from what she knew of him, his constitution was legendary.
Rainbow Dash sprinted towards Apple Jack's stable, carrying a bag of goodies to share with 'Jacks. Rainbow had gathered some sugar lumps and cherries from her pantry. Bang, is the word that best described the sound of 'Bow's head hitting the door of Apple Jacks house. Cherries and sugar lumps spread out over the floor of Apple Jacks modest home. "What in the name of..?" Jacks stammered, only to be cut short by Rainbow's flamboyant embrace. "Hello there friend!" Rainbow Dash quickly shouted in a the same way one might address a friend from across a crowded room. "What's going on with all of these cherries and sugar cubes everywhere? It looks like a little colt's lunch pail exploded!"
"I brought some goodies to share with you!" Rainbow said with a slight hint of exasperation in her tone. "Never mind that, I'll help you clean them up, and we'll find something else to do." Apple Jack said in a reassuring way.
Rarity pouted, it's not as if this was the first time she was disappointed, this was a constant state she lived in, besides utter ecstasy. She was pouting because her plans with her friends had fallen through due to scheduling conflict, so they said. This was becoming a little to common, it seemed like everypony had some reason they couldn't meet play with her. She suspected they were avoiding her. That was okay with her, she was better than them anyway. The only thing she really regretted was that everypony couldn't appreciate her the way she appreciated her self. They can all choke on an apple for all she cared, she was content to amuse herself with some fancy bits of jewelry. As she was staring out of her window she saw Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash trotting past. Maybe they had some excuse why they weren't coming to see her. She figured she ought to try to tag along and bolted form where she was pouting with a pounding of hooves and doors slamming behind her.
Rarity burst through the door so quickly she didn't notice the massive shadow cast by Big Mcintosh, even after the ran headlong into his burly frame. "Oh, hi there McIntosh, were you here to see me?" she said with a glimmer of hope in her voice. "Noope." "Well, would you fancy spending some time with me? I have some very interesting plans for today. You could come along!" She figured there was a chance she could lure the big guy into escorting her on her shopping trip, he didn't say much, but his size certainly made up for what he lacked in conversation skills. He was common, but she figured he would make a better companion than that stuck up mule Prince Blueblood. Besides, the traditional manners instilled in McIntosh's type would lend well to her propensity to be treated like a ladypony.
