Chapter Four-Rarity: The Belle of the Ball
I couldn't believe it! Fancy Pants had shown his interest in me, he had given me all the attention I so richly deserved! So yet why did he all of a sudden turn his attention over to Twilight? It was a thought that kept haunting me like a ghost! I walked inside Fancy Pants' house with the girls and did not participate in any of their conversations. The foyer and living room were interconnected. It was fancier than any home I had seen! There was plush carpeting, dozens of servants carrying trays, a marble fireplace, exotic flowers in expensive vases, marble flooring, a giant diamond encrusted chandelier hanging in the front hall, the walls were of expensive designs, each had a different color to capture the luxury this home had to offer.
"Uh Rarity? You haven't said two words since Twilight left with Fancy Pants, you got something to tell us?" asked Applejack. Drat! She had figured something out! This was why out of all my friends, she got the most on my nerves.
I picked up a hors d'oeuvre with magic and stuffed my mouth with it. I then turned over to Applejack and muffled out, "No."
"PARTY!" shouted Pinkie, she was about to blast her party cannon when I jumped at her.
"No! You musn't! What will all the other ponies think of us?!" I shouted.
At that moment Octavia and a few other ponies in fancy ensembles gave us a rather unpleasant look. "I remember you! The pink one! Stay away from me!" snapped Octavia.
"BUT IT'S A PARTY, YOU NEED A PARTY CANNON AND ME!' shouted Pinkie. Pinkie Pie shot the cannon and it blasted Octavia into the champagne pyramid. Twilight and Fancy Pants were talking to a bunch of guests nearby and got champagne splashed all over them. I was so wrapped in jealousy, part of me at the moment felt glad she got splashed on.
"Ooh can't have that," answered back Twilight, she used her magic and evaporated the champagne from all the ponies' clothes into thin air. Of course, LITTLE MISS PERFECT could air dry in an instant.
"Thank you Twilight!" said Fancy Pants, "Very talented and beautiful…you are just so perfect!"
Twilight let out a blush that made me gag. "Thank you," she replied back sweetly.
Her parents came out of nowhere and greeted her along with Shining Armor and his wife, Cadence. Twilight motioned for all of us to come over but I wanted to stay put.
Rainbow, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack all interrupted their activities and went over there. There was greeting, hugging, and kind words being exchanged back and forth.
I took a glass of wine and drank it with one gulp. I ignored their little gathering for a few minutes before they came to me.
"Guys you remember Rarity?! She was the one who gave me the makeover and the dress!" she announced proudly. I felt so bad at that moment because she was my friend and she always had the nicest things to say about me to others.
"So it was you who made my sister look ugly!" laughed Shining Armor.
Princess Cadence elbowed him and gave him a dirty look. Shining Armor let out a slight yelp. She then quickly shifted over to me and chuckled nervously, "he was just kidding. Shining Armor can be a little cruel at times. You did a…err…lovely job. Twilight sure looks different."
"Yeah not so Twilight anymore," answered back Shining Armor with a laugh.
The princess this time whispered something in her husband's ear which made his face shrivel up.
"I think you did a fine job! Twilight finally looks like the mare she was meant to be! And she finally got a stallion thanks to you! I never thought it would happen to her!" laughed Twilight's mother, Twilight Velvet.
"Thanks Mom," said Twilight sarcastically. She seemed slightly furious.
"I thought my daughter was always beautiful with or without makeup," laughed Night Light, Twilight's father, "It's a father's love for his only little girl!"
At that moment, Princess Celestia and her sister Luna were announced in the house.
"I'm sorry to interrupt such a lovely conversation but I must tend to other guests," interrupted Fancy Pants, he took Twilight by the hoof and took her away.
He was about to present Twilight to the princess as his date! It was supposed to be me! Although we all knew the princess personally, the idea of the both of them greeting her together made my stomach exploded with raveling jealous that was soon to blow up like a time bomb in a nuclear powered factory (only in cities of course) In my misery, I ignored all of the stallions who tried making small talk with me and just drowned myself in alcoholic beverages., Fancy Pants preferred the creation over the beautiful creator and I was not the belle of the ball this time.
At the refreshments table, I noticed a stallion I had met before gazing over at Twilight, sighing sadly. "Donut Joe?" I asked with great surprise. He had his hair as messy as ever except the only difference was he was wearing a dashing tuxedo.
He looked over at me and replied, "Hey you're that fancy pony Twilight's friends with! How are you gal?"
"Slightly indisposed at the moment," I said half drunk, "How about you?"
"I'm thinking about becoming indisposed too," he answered back.
"Whatever is the matter?" I asked in a groggy voice.
"Let's see, the fact that the mare I've loved for years is getting swept off her feet by some rich guy and I'm sitting here talking to a half drunk mare. He asked me to cater for this party but I didn't expect to see this!" he snapped, "She doesn't even love him! I can tell! She's just doing it cuz a bunch of idiots told her to! Her own mother approves of this and she's always wanted her children to marry into a bunch of well off stiffs! Funny thing is her brother marries a princess so they expect something similar out of her! She's got a good impending career, supportive friends, and the perfect guy! What's so great about him anyways!"
I scoffed, "Lots of things! For one he…"
Donut Joe interrupted with a laugh, "So I see what's going on here. You're getting crap faced because Twilight over there is spending time with your guy? Only thing is you and him didn't really have a relationship you just fooled around here and there and that was basically it. Never expected for him to get serious did you?"
My face grew red hot with anger, "How dare you! That is not true at all! He didn't use me!"
"You sure about it? Cuz the only thing a rich guy like him cares about is mares and money, so are you one hundred percent confident that's true?" asked Donut Joe.
"He did not!" I argued, "Why would he?! I am the most beautiful, most celebrated, most elegant mare in all of EQUESTRIA!"
"Sure, keep convincing yourself that," he replied.
"How dare you!"I snapped.
"Look doll, I don't mean to kick you where it hurts but you gotta face the facts. You could be considered the most beautiful pony to some lucky stallion but it don't mean you will be the most beautiful to somepony else!" he answered back.
I drank another glass of wine and hiccupped. "Well…you find me beautiful don't you?" I asked.
"Yeah you're a beautiful gal but not my type…" he said with a pause.
"Well why not? I should think that I am EVERY pony's type!" I argued.
"Well you're not. Face the hard, cold reality," he answered back. He then looked over at Twilight and gave a sigh, "You have no idea what I would do to have her heart…"
"Twilight?" I asked, "You love Twilight?"
"Yeah…what about it?" he asked in a defensive voice.
"No, no nothing! Well I could DO something about it!" I exclaimed with a hiccup.
"That's not really a good idea seeing is how you're completely wasted. I love Twilight and all, but there is nothing I can do if she refuses me. If she never noticed it, then chances are she never cared," answered Donut Joe sadly.
"Well I'M GOING TO DO SOMETHING!" I shouted.
I drank a shot of Ponyskey and rushed over there. After that, I couldn't remember what happened.
Well we all know this is gonna get ugly...so hope you enjoyed this chapter! As I stated earlier, I will be posting the last chapter today! See youuuuuuuuuuuuu! :P
