The zebra had then looked up from him book when Rarity had greeted him with the hello. He smiled at her as he closed the book. "Hello."

Geez holy Celestia, didn't this zebra had a smooth, baritone voice. Sounding friendly with only one word.

Rarity giggled softly before lifting up the glass, taking a sip of the wine before looking at him. "Charney, nice move there."

The zebra chuckled, "Well, I am glad you like it." He them motioned her a seat across from him.

She eased into the booth, setting her stuff on the table. As soon as she did that, her phone lit up. "Pardon for one moment," she quickly told him before looking at her phone.

She read what was on it before letting out a celebratory squeal. "Yes yes yes!" Reading on her phone were reviews about her work in the show, bringing old fashion back with a new modern twist was a success! From what she saw posted was nothing but good reviews.

Next thing she knew, she started getting texts from potential clients wanting to commission her for her work.

"Yes! I am back, baby!" Rarity was filled with delight, clapping her hands in joy. She was getting her mojo back, her new clients that she will have to sort through.

The zebra sat there with a smirk, seeing Rarity cheering. "I take it that is good news?" he asked her.

Rarity looked at him, her face blushed softly in remembering that she was in front of stallion.

"Very," She said, taking another sip. "I just received the most glamorous of news I have ever heard in ages. Oh, where are my manners," she offered her hand to the zebra who gently grabbed it. His strong, masculine hands. "I'm Rarity."

"Kol," he gently kisses the back of her hands, as a result made Rarity giggled, blushing a bit more.

"Why Kol, you are quickly turning to be a bit of a charmer." She smiled at him as he released her hand.

He chuckled softly as a waiter brought him his glass. Judging by the color and the tartey smell, Rarity was impressed. "That's a Rosé Carbonate 89 wine, not many ponies enjoy such an expensive bottle."

"What can I say, I'm intuned with a more experienced taste palide." Kol said, taking a sip of his glass.

Rarity stared at him for a moment. She rarely ever see a zebra, other than Zecora and the one she saw in Bahoofmas, even that male zebra wasn't as handsome as the one in front of her.

"Judging by the way you are looking at me, you never seen a zebra before." Kol said, catching her.

"Oh, no no, darling. One of my friends is a zebra. I'm just not used to seeing one of your colors. The gold stripes, the heterochromic green and gray eyes, it's attractive as it's alluring." Rarity said honestly.

Kol smiled at her answer. He had those heart throbbing smiles that just comes out naturally. "My great grandfather who was an earth pony came to Zebraic to live with my kind, I must've inherit some of his genes."

"That is very interesting." Rarity said, sipping her wine. "So, Kol, what brings you here? Why am I here at your table?"

Kol looked at her. A hand gently placed on his book and sighed softly. "I was in the audience during your show, out of all I've seen, you're outfit happens to be my favorite."

She giggled, blushing red. "A man of fashion I see."

"Wel, not technically. My roommate is the real fashion expert. I never really cared for such things till I met him." Kol explained.

"Is he here?" Rarity asked, intrigued.

He shook his head. "Sadly no. Since this bizarre video was plastered a few days ago, he can't seem to step outside without some fools jumping on him."

Rarity was puzzled for a moment before she frowned. "Your roommate is a human?"

He nodded. "My best friend, met him in college when I moved here a few years ago. Pranceton University."

"Pranceton? That's an elite college! They don't just let anyone in!" Rarity squeaked. Mostly because she had tried to get in years back but was denied, didn't meet their criteria.

Kol chuckled, she made a cute sound.

"Anywho, I came to the show to video tape it, Brandon, my roommate made me swore to get footage of the show. What he didn't mention that one of the designers is a rare flower."

Rarity giggled, reaching over towards Kol's book and placed it on top of his hand.

Hours later, the two were laughing, giggling, sharing stories, just getting to know one another. Rarity had moved to seated next to Kol as they talked.

She had gotten to know a bit more of Kol - how when he was younger his family sent him to a private school which would explain how his wasn't speaking the typical zebra dialect, what he seen before settling in Manehatten.

Rarity enjoyed this. It had been a long time since she had talked to a stallion like this. To get this kind of attention she missed receiving. Kol was a kind, handsome stallion, funny too.

For the first time since her whole funk had started, Spike wasn't even in her mind. She wasn't gushing over him, jealousy looking at him and Rachel were together as a couple.

The whole mess of the cruise was far away at the moment.

Kol here was being such a gentle-stallion towards her. He though had no movements of wanting her in bed like most stallions would, Kol was indeed interested in her and took some time to get to know the Element of Generosity. Rarity was having a good time and so was he.

Rarity liked how he held her hand gently, making subtle touches along her arms, complimenting on her looks.

Then, it was time to leave the bar since it was closing.

Kol happily escorted Rarity back to her hotel room, linking arms with her.

"Oh Kol, thank you for tonight." Rarity said as they rode the elevator up. "I mean it, I don't remember the last time I had a night like this."

"I am glad you are. I honestly didn't think you'll sit by me tonight." Kol said.

"Oh love, with how beautiful you are, how could I not?" she giggled as the door opened. Kol escorted her to the room. They stood at the door. "Well...this is it then," she said, having the urge to not let him go. She gave him her best seductive look she could muster, stroking his strong chiseled chest with her finger. "Do you want to come in, Kol?" she cooed in a whisper manner.

Kol smiled softly, grabbing her chin gently by his fingers and softly pressed his lips on hers. Tasted like oranges and jasmine, a sweet but odd combo but Rarity melted by just the kiss.

Her hands lay flat on his chest as she tried to savor such. A long time since she kissed a stallion like this, her heart fluttered in top speed.

But as soon as the kiss began, he removed himself from her. "My roommate would be wondering where I am, I will have to go."

Rarity frowned. "You have to?" she asked, her mind still reeling in from the kiss.

Kol nodded. "If I don't go now, he'll not stop blasting my phone, last time I was gone all night he nearly had a panic attack, called the police."

"Oh no."

"If I didn't know any better, I say he has a crush on me." Kol joked.

"Do you...have feelings for him?"

"I mean, I see him as a friend and roommate, nothing else." He then takes a pen from his pocket and paper from the passby maid's cart and wrote down his number and handed it to her. "WIll I be looking forward a call from you?" he asked with a smile.

Rarity took it and put it against her chest. "You will." She said.

With one last, lingering kiss of goodnight, the two parted ways. Kol leaving the hotel and Rarity into her room. She pressed herself against the door with a sigh.

"Ooh, next time I see him, his roommate would just have to deal with him being missing for a day...or too." Rarity giggled, already planning to spend more time with Kol…

Rarity was about to go to bed before her phone buzzed again. Nonstop it went off, nothing but potential customers wanting her to design dresses.

Sleep? Rarity was in a good mood, who needs it.

She set her purse and the number down on the bed and grabbed her sketch starts the process of filling out one of the orders.

Her first up, a simple chiffon dress with pearls and brown and green accents. Though she dreaded the earthy tones in her own style, it's what the customer wanted.

One hour, drawing figure

Second hour, nothing

Third hour, nothing more.

Rarity was baffled, she couldn't draw up the dress pattern. She checked and double checked what the customer wanted and try to come up with ideas for such but nothing came out.

She had this dreaded feeling creeping back up to her. She hadn't had this feeling in over a week.

No…

Oh no…

"I LOST MY MOJO AGAIN!" Rarity screamed.

In the heat of the moment, Rarity grabbed her phone. She knew she couldn't call Twilight because she was busy, she calls starlight.

After the third ring, a groggy Starlight picks up.

"Somepony better be fucking dying or else I'm murdering you." Starlight hissed in greeting.

"Oh darling, I'm so sorry, did I wake you up?" Rarity asked.

"No, I was in the middle of fucking your dad," Starlight sarcastically growled. "What do you want, rares?"

"Well...I'll be coming home tomorrow...I was wondering if you could make that potion you and t-"

"The weather forecast calls for Oh hell no, no, no, no, HELL TO THE NO!" Starlight snapped. Mostly from sleep since it was three in the celestia damned morning.

"Starlight, I am sorry for waking you up but-"

"No Rarity, you listen to me." sounds of Starlight moving in her bed. "I am not making you Fall Out's Desire. I didn't want to give it to you the first damn time. If you lost your desire, you can easily find it yourself. It's a bad idea."

"But darling it's an e-" Starlight hung up on her then. "-mergancy...well I never."

She slumped in her chair. "Ooh, what am I going to do...I got my clientele...I got to do something or else I am back to square one!"

Rarity stared up at the black tiled ceiling, that gave her an idea. An awful idea, one that would soon cost her…

And Spike everything they love…

"If Starlight can't give me the potion, I will have to steal it from the castle."
