Chapter 2

It took a while but Rarity's eyes finally began to open back up, her vision was a bit blurry, her head hurt and she felt groggy but more or less, she was ok. She soon found the strength to stand back up and groaned as she did so.

"What happened?" she muttered rubbing her head. Her vision soon cleared and she quickly saw that she was inside a janitor's closet, luckily for her it wasn't locked and was in fact open a crack. "Odd…"

The fashionista approached the door and opened it a little more. She poked her head out and checked to see if anyone was there but the halls were still bare. Rarity then stepped out a little more and looked confused.

"Hello?" she called out. She scratched her head. "Huh, it appears my assailant has fled… but why in the world would he or she leave me inside a closet and not do anything to me? I would at least expect them to explain why they did it."

Rarity sighed, deciding that wondering what had happened and trying to make sense of it was pretty pointless.

"Oh well, better get back to my friends, they must be worried about me. I wonder what time it is anyhow?"

The purple haired girl then started to make her way down the hall when she felt an odd sensation that caught her attention.

"Huh? What's this? All of a sudden I feel… chilly down there…" Rarity remarked, as she looked down at her lower half. "It's as if something's missing…"

Rarity lowered her hands down her skirt and went underneath it to try and find an explanation. But what she discovered as she was feeling around the area between her legs caused her to gasp. Her pupils shrank while her face became red. She shook for a bit before finally letting out a scream, during which she pulled her skirt down, shaking in fear with a bright red face.

"No! My beautiful panties! They're gone!" she gasped. "But… how did…"

She then noticed something also inside the closer that she didn't notice until now; a note.

Rarity quickly walked back to the closet, stepped inside and picked up the note before reading it.

"If you want your panties back come to homeroom after dismissal bell rights, come alone and prepare to beg. Sincerely SS. XXOO."

Since she knew for a fact that it wasn't her former enemy and good friend Sunset Shimmer, their was only one logical conclusion as to who it was…

"Strawberry Sweets." Rarity growled. She felt another cool breeze blow by and held down her skirt again while she crossed her shaking legs. Her cheeks were bright red at this point. "Oh dear… if anyone finds out that I'm not wearing underwear they'll… they'll… they'll deem me as a pervert!"

She could see it now; everyone mocking and ridiculing her, questioning her about what other dirty things she liked to do, boys trying even harder to get a peek under her skirt and her friends… her friends would probably never look at her the same way again. It would be the very end of her social life.

Those thoughts struck fear into Rarity as she gulped loudly and shook again. "I cannot let that happen! I must get them back!"

But how to get her panties back she did not know. It seemed that her only option was to do as Strawberry said and beg for them back, but that was something she vowed never to do. She couldn't let that psychotic lesbian win. She had to find another way to cover her nether regions until she got home, or at the very least make sure no one suspected or saw, but this would be no easy task.

"Ok Rarity, think, where would someone find an extra pair of underwear around…" The fashionista started to say before it hit her. "Of course! The Drama department! It's sure to have some extra costumes I could borrow, or more specifically a pair of bloomers! Not that modern but they'll do."

Rarity knew that getting a pair of bloomers in the Drama classroom was a long shot, what with it being on the other side of the school and lunchbreak almost over, not to mention several students were still wandering the halls along with her friends who probably were indeed looking for her. But it was a risk she had to take in order to avoid total humiliation.

She had began to make her way down the hall and in the direction of the Drama classroom when a voice spoke up behind her.

"Hi, Rarity!"

The aforementioned, purple haired girl yelped, spun around and held down her skirt with a red face while the person behind her, AKA her sister Sweetie Belle, looked at her curiously.

"Oh, hello, Sweetie Belle." Rarity said, with a nervous smile. "Wha-what are you doing here?"

"Just looking for Apple Bloom and Scootaloo" Her sister replied. "And I was hoping you would…"

Before Sweetie Belle could finished, she noticed what Rarity was doing with her skirt.

"Hey, what do you have your skirt pulled down like that?"

"Oh, well I-"

"And why's your face so red?"

"I-I-I-I…" Rarity stammered before finally yelling out… "I have them on right by the way!"

"Huh? Have what on right?" Sweetie Belle inquired, even more confused.

"N-Nothing!" Rarity stuttered with a bright red face.

"Uh… your acting kinda odd, sis." Sweetie Belle observed. "Are you sure your ok?"

"Oh, but of course darling!" Rarity insisted as she put her hands by her side and tried to put on a convincing and assuring smile. "Now… what is it you need my help for again?"

"Help finding Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, you know where they are?" Sweetie asked.

"Hmm, I don't believe so…" Rarity mused. She began to turn around "Maybe we can look for them togeth-"

Before Rarity could finish her foot slipped on the smooth floor, causing her to begin falling down. She quickly realized that Sweetie Belle would see her exposed derriere as soon as she hit the ground so she thought fast and said.

"Hey! Isn't that them over there!?"

"Huh?" Sweetie responded falling for it and turning around just Rarity fell on the floor, causing her skirt to go over and expose her behind. She 'eeped' and pushed it back over just as Sweetie Belle turned to her and noticed that she had fallen.

"Rarity! Are you ok!?" she asked, immediately concerned as she began helping her sister up.

"Yes… I'm fine, thank you Sweetie Belle." Rarity said. She silently sighed, relieved that her sister had not seen her bottom.

"I didn't see Apple Bloom and Scootaloo over there by the way." Sweetie added.

"Really? Oh. Sorry! Must have been mistaken…" Rarity smiled, sheepishly.

"It's ok, I'll find them. By the way, you should probably keep an eye out." Sweetie Belle warned her.

"Why's that?" Rarity questioned.

Sweetie scratched the back of her head, she looked anxious. "Well… they say that Diamond Tiara and Silver spoon have been going around and stealing poor girls panties… Especially ones wearing skirts and are wearing frilly panties!"

"What!?" Her elder sister gasped.

Sweetie nodded. "Uh-huh. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo should be safe because they wear pants. But I'm still wearing a dress, plus I borrowed your frilly panties… so I might be next!" she gulped while holding her skirt down also. Rarity looked at her sympathetically.

"Well, I'm sure you got nothing…"

"What about you?"

"Huh?"

"Are you wearing frilly panties? Let me see…" Sweetie Belle said as she began to lift up Rarity's skirt, only for her to yelp and pull them down.

"No!" she cried.

"Rarity, what's wrong?" Her sister inquired.

"Nothing! Honest!" Rarity protested, her face getting even redder.

"Did Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon already steal your panties?" Sweetie Belle asked, interested. Rarity was flushed, oh if she only knew how close to being right she was…

"Uh… so sorry, but I'm very busy! I have to go now!" Rarity said as started running with a red face.

"But Rarity!" Sweetie Belle called out to her sister.

"I said I'm busy!" Rarity cried as she ran off down the hallway as fast as she could while also keeping her skirt down so that Sweetie Belle wouldn't see.

The young freshman watched her sister go, baffled. "Well, that was weird…" she remarked. "Guess that's what puberty is…"

It was hard for Rarity to run while keeping both ends of her skirt down but she did so anyway, albeit with some difficulty.

"Come on Rarity… you can do this…" she told herself, before she slowly stopped running and glanced around. "Although… if I continue running like this someone is certain to notice… I must proceed with caution…"

Rarity then let go of both ends of her skirt and began to walk down the hallway at a medium speed. Not to fast so that her skirt wouldn't go up and not to slow so that no one would suspect anything.

"Just stay calm… stay calm… don't panic and move… slowly…" he muttered to herself, quietly before she heard a whistle and stopped.

She looked around for the source of the whistle and eventually she found it at the top of the stairs close by. She looked up and saw none other then Strawberry Sweets herself looking down on her as she leaned against the railing with a smirk on her face.

Rarity gasped. "You!"

Strawberry just chuckled and held something up with one finger; Rarity's eyes widened when she saw that it was her light blue underwear.

"My panties!" she cried. "Give them back!"

"Oh? You want it?" Strawberry teased as she let it swing on her finger, but didn't let it fall, angering Rarity. "Come and get them!"

The new girl cackled as she ran further up the stairs and away from the fuming Rarity.

"Ooh… you are going to get into so much trouble when I catch you!" The purple haired girl yelled as she also ran up the stairs, not caring about how fast she was going and or what was behind her, all she cared about was catching Strawberry and getting her underwear back.

It soon looked like Rarity was about to grab hold of her, when suddenly the one she was pursuing turned and seemed to notice something.

"Oh! Rarity! Behind you! Someone's looking up your skirt!" Strawberry informed her.

Rarity gasped and quickly pulled down the back of her skirt as she turned around, only to find no one there. She groaned and mentally slapped herself for falling for such a trick. Rarity then heard Strawberry's laugh again and saw her reaching the top of the stairs and heading right down the hall.

"Wait! Come back!" The fashionista called out as she resumed rushing back up.

But when she reached the top of the stairs, she looked both left and right and was surprised to see that Strawberry Sweets had somehow given her the slip, much to her dismay.

"Blast! She got away…" Rarity grumbled. "Now where…?"

"Hey, Rarity!"

The aforementioned fashion expert shrieked, spun around and held her skirt down again as she saw that below her, just coming up the stairs were exactly who her sister was looking for; Apple Bloom and Scootaloo. Rarity blushed as she held her skirt down tighter, which the two of them immediately noticed.

"Uh… Rarity? Why are you holding down your skirt like that?" Apple Bloom inquired.

"What? Oh. No reason!" Rarity smiled nervously, the redness on her face increasing. "Oh, by the way, Sweetie Belle is looking for you. She's actually in the opposite direction you're going."

"Really?" Scootaloo asked, surprised.

Rarity nodded, quickly. "Yes! So… why don't you turn around, go over there and find her… right now!"

"Um… we would but… I think Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were spotted around there so… we'd better find a way around them." Apple Bloom mused.

Scootaloo's eyes widened as a smirk appeared on her face. "Hmm," she said while eying Rarity, which made her nervous. "Maybe that's why she's not letting us see her panties; because those two already stole them! Your face is bright red after all!"

"What!? No!" Rarity denied, hotly. She began backing away a little bit while the two freshman started to approach her by walking up the stairs.

"Then why won't you let us see? We're all girls here, it's no big deal." Apple Bloom reasoned as she and Scootaloo got to the top of the stairs and each stood next to Rarity.

"Really girls, I honestly don't have time for this. I'm sorry, I have go! Have fun!" Rarity exclaimed, quickly before she took off.

"Rarity!" Apple Bloom called out, but she was already gone.

"Man, is she always this uptight?" Scootaloo remarked. Apple Bloom glared at her. "What?"
