As Rarity lay in her bed, she took Dream's advice and started thinking about Super Stallion and how much she wanted to be with him. She went down to cook breakfast, which ended up being quite horrible because her thoughts of Super Stallion distracted her. Not that she cared. She didn't bother to open up her shop today, which disappointed many ponies. She didn't care about that either. When she went out for lunch, she went to the restaurant where she would have taken Super Stallion out to if he'd stayed longer and she had the confidence to ask her out. She even imagined what the date would have been like while she was eating. She was starting to feel depressed, but she knew that constantly thinking about Super Stallion would make it more likely for her to meet Desire, which, as far as she new, the only chance to see him again. When she got home, there was somepony inside her house.
"Excuse me," Rarity said to the stranger. "But who are you and how did you get in here?"
Rarity looked at the pony and suddenly realized it was hard to tell if it was a mare or a stallion. He or she was as white as Dream was and had a black mane that was beautifully done in a style that could be for either a mare or a stallion. His or her cutie-mark was two hooves seemingly begging for something. The pony gave Rarity a smile, but only for a moment, like the glint of sunlight on the edge of a knife.
"Are you," Rarity said nervously. "Desire?"
"Indeed I am!" replied the pony. "And you must be Rarity."
"Well, yes."
"I see what game you're playing at. You're deliberately using me so that I might help you directly."
"W-what do you mean?"
"Don't hide it from me! You've been thinking a lot about a certain stallion, and you've been avoiding not thinking about him."
Rarity sighed.
"Yes, it's true."
"You must be one cleaver pony!"
Rarity blushed.
"Well, it was my friend Twilight Sparkle who told me about you in the first place, and I didn't come up with the strategy for bringing me close to you myself."
"Then who did?"
"Um…"
Rarity thought about whether she should tell Desire that it was Dream who told her because Dream said it was cheating, and she knew Desire would feel betrayed if she knew one of her siblings betrayed her.
"That's not important. What is is that you tell me how I can meet Super Stallion again!"
"Well, my siblings and I can access many places. Including other worlds!"
"So you could bring Super Stallion to me?"
"Well, it's not that easy. See, right now he's saving his world from indefinite destruction. Although my brother, Destruction, would be thrilled if he left, his world wouldn't be so happy."
Rarity gasped.
"You mean it's a choice between my love's homeworld or not being able to see him again?"
"Not exactly. I could take you to him."
Rarity thought about this. Whereas Super Stallion had little time for friends with his double-life, she always kept in touch with her friends. Could she really leave them behind?
"I'll… I'll think about it."
"You do that. I'll know where to find you when you're ready."
And with that, Desire walked out the door. When Rarity looked out, the pony was nowhere to be seen.
