Season 3: Love Season
Episode 1 (31): Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder (Rarity x James)
It has been weeks since Timothy the ghost engines' defeat and life is slowly turning to normal. Well, the Steam Team and their Mane 7 partners were on stage while the guys are performing a song on stage.
BG Music: Perfection- Smallfoot
(Thomas, Edward, Gordon, Henry, Percy, James & Toby singing:)
Look at everybody there, below
All the people that I love and know
And they're wakin' up to see this awesome mornin'
They're all got a smile on their face
Another reason I love this place
'Cause it's always full of live and never boring
Look all around us, it's all rock and grass and tree
Warm and sunny, yeah, it's pretty great, I know
And hey, hey, it's another day
Like every other
And I don't wanna change a thing
Not one little thing, I mean, because
I do what everybody say
And I'm doin' okay
What could be better than this?
It is what it is, it is perfection
Look at everybody do their part
And they do it with a happy heart
And it gives them all a sense of greater purpose
Well, that's the way that I wanna be
I wanna make them all proud of me
Just be a steady person and deserve this
If there's a question, causing you to go astray
Just stuff it down inside until it goes away
Got it? Good!
Now we all said hey, hey, it's another day
Like every other
And I don't wanna change a thing
Not one little thing, I mean, because
We like livin' this way
And we're doin' okay
What could be better than this?
It is what it is, it is perfection
Everyone was cheering for the boy's performance, especially the Mane 7, Emily, Nia and Rebecca. The curtain closed as everyone left to do their business. Their girlfriends came in and hugged their boyfriends, some even kissed them.
Applejack: That was a mighty fine performance you guys did. Mighty fine indeed.
Percy: Thanks Applejack, man, we sing really good.
Thomas: I agree with you there Percy. We do sing good.
Toby: Dang right Thomas.
Edward: (Chuckles) You learnt to speak like a cowboy from Applejack, didn't you?
Toby: Darn tootin' Edward. (Chuckles) Sorry, couldn't help myself.
Henry: No one's blaming you Toby, you've been bonding with Applejack for so long that you sort of, adopted the trait.
Applejack: You got that right, no one's blaming you sugarcube.
Rainbow Dash: Still, that was a killer performance you guys did. You guys killed it.
Sunset Shimmer: I agree; you guys stole the show.
Rarity: Yes, darling, they literally took the show by storm. Music to my ears!
Thomas: So, what do you think the rest of us should do for today?
Sunset Shimmer: I got an idea. Why not the seven of us have a boyfriend/girlfriend day all to ourselves, for two days. Then, when we all converge together, we get ourselves ready for one, big group date.
Rarity: Sunset darling, that is by far the best idea you've ever come up, it's simply magnificent.
Pinkie Pie: That's one super-duper, super idea you've ever come up, and I'm still beaming!
Sunset Shimmer: Perfect, Applejack you take Toby, Pinkie you take Percy, Rarity you take James, Fluttershy you take Henry, Twilight you take Edward, Rainbow you take Gordon and I take my baby Thomas. (Kisses him) Starlight, care to join us?
Starlight Glimmer: Nah, we'll leave you guys to your fun. Me, Emily, Nia and Rebecca are gonna have a girl's night just the four of us, right girls.
Rebecca, Nia & Emily: That's right! That's right! That's right!
Thomas: Oh brother, you girls been learning that from Ferdinand haven't you.
Emily: Possibly.
Fluttershy: I think this is going to be a very special two days if you ask me.
Twilight Sparkle: You got that right Fluttershy.
Sunset Shimmer: And what would make it even more special, when we do meet back, why don't we all get ourselves ready for a big group date.
Rarity: (Gasps) Are you saying what I think you're saying Sunset?
Sunset Shimmer: You heard me right, a formal group date to a fancy restaurant or something along the lines.
Rarity: (Squeals) Now that is music to my ears Sunset, I'll so be making the suits and dresses for all of us when we get to our group formal date.
Rebecca: Can me, Nia, Starlight and Emily come with you guys?
Rarity: I don't see why not darling.
Rainbow Dash: This group date idea you came up with Sunset is totally awesome! This is going to be so much fun.
Sunset Shimmer: You know it. Everyone hands in the center.
So everyone puts their hands in the center, along with Starlight, Emily, Nia & Rebecca joining in as well.
Sunset Shimmer: When we lift our hands, we say break. Ready, one, two, three!
Sunset Shimmer, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Applejack, Starlight Glimmer, Pinkie Pie, Thomas, Edward, Gordon, Henry, Percy, James, Toby, Rebecca, Nia & Emily: Break! Break! Break! Break! Break! Break! Break! Break! Break! Break! Break! Break! Break! Break!
So the group walked off in different directions while the Mane 7 walk with their respective boyfriends. We're first looking at James and Rarity, the two were holding hands as they were downtown.
James: (Inhales, exhales) This day, m'lady, is going to be an extraordinary one I can tell you that.
Rarity: Quite right Jamesy, I do love the time we had in the past, all those days of you impressing me are just simply marvelous. (Sighs) I wish more of those days could happen sometime like today.
James: Hmm, maybe there is. I'll try to impress you in some way I see fit.
Rarity: Hmm, you may be right. And you know what else darling, we may find you a suit for our grand get together date the other girls and boys are participating. What do you say?
James: That sounds like a perfect plan. After you m'lady.
Rarity: (Giggles) Oh, you old charmer. (Kisses his cheek)
So the two of them walked down the sidewalk and head to their boutique, James thought of an idea. He activated his geode and his skate boots and scooped up Rarity.
Rarity: Jamesy, what are you doing?
James: I figured we go to the boutique in style, courtesy of my skate boots.
Rarity: Well then, I'm surprised and impressed at the same time. Just don't do something disastrous Jamesy.
James: Don't worry my sweet, I won't.
Rarity: That's good. Well then, darling, let's skate to the boutique. (Kisses him)
So James started skating towards the boutique, and when they do, they blaze right past Daisy, Molly and Boco.
Daisy: Hey, watch where your skating James, you nearly ran into me.
Molly: Umm, I think he was a few inches away from you there Daisy.
Daisy: Doesn't matter now, he nearly collided into me.
Boco: Knowing you Daisy, that's bound to be an understatement. Come on you two. I believe James and Rarity are having their day to themselves.
Daisy: Well, that's interesting to say the least.
Molly: Well, James and Rarity do have a taste for fashion, and they're always about making sure their looks stay as sharp as a tack.
Boco: You're right about that Molly. Something tells me those two are to be something more in the coming future. Let's leave these two alone.
James is still skating when they stop at the parlor next to him. Then, James had an idea. While Rarity is waiting for the lights to tell them to walk, James got two ice cream treats for the two of them: James's a strawberry with gummies and Rarity's a vanilla with chocolate chunks.
James: I'm sure after all that skating, it could really tire a person out, so I took the liberty in ordering the two of us some ice cream treats, from our ice cream date way before remember.
Rarity: (Gasps) Well, that's the most generous thing you ever did, thank you Jamesy. (Kisses his cheek) Though they're not gonna leak and make my hands sticky.
James: (Scoffs) No, I got them in cups, don't worry, I got you covered.
Rarity: Aww, that's so, so sweet. You truly are a gentleman you are James.
James: What can I say, I truly love you and I will do anything in my power to make sure nothing disastrous happens to you.
Rarity: Oh, that's simply the most noble thing you ever said to me, how charming. (Kisses him) Let's go somewhere where we can enjoy our ice cream.
So the two of them found a table outside to enjoy their ice cream, but James is also doing something romantic during their dessert time, and all it takes were two spoons.
Rarity: (Sighs) This day truly is splendid, first you offered to carry me back to the boutique and then, you ordered the two of us ice cream. I just can't get enough of your generosity.
James: Hey, I do anything for a lady like yourself. Also, there's something I like to do with you for a long time.
James got an extra spoon and scooped some of her ice cream and she licked the scoop from the spoon.
Rarity: Oh, (Chuckles), you truly are a gentleman, and I love every bit of it that comes from you, my Jamesy. Also, allow me to do the same to you.
She grabbed the second spoon and did the same to James when he did it to her.
Donald: Well now, look what we have here Dougie, the Steam Team's #5 has gotten himself a fashionista in his sights.
Douglas: Quite right Donnie, quite right indeed.
James: Oh brother, what are you two doing here?
Douglas: Ah, what's wrong, don't you love seeing us again?
James: Sort of, but you two can also be trouble when the least expected.
Rarity: What are you two talking about?
Donald: Dougie and James here, had a bit of a rivalry around Sodor a long time ago, but they eventually resolved. Though he couldn't stop teasing him that one time when he crashed into some tar wagons.
James: Ugh, don't remind me.
Rarity: Did that really happen?
Donald: Quite right lassie.
Donald wasn't lying, (It showed James in a runaway being pushed by the Troublesome Trucks until he crashed into tar wagons).
James: Well, our rivalry didn't start when Donald was being stupid enough to crash into a signalbox.
Donald: Oi, that's taken it too far.
James: Well, that's the truth.
Rarity: Alright boys, let's settle down and try to resolve this peacefully.
Donald & James: Alright fine, sorry about that bud. Alright fine, sorry about that bud.
Rarity: So, let's backup, Donald, you really did crash into a signalbox?
Donald: Umm, sort of, the rails were slippery and I couldn't stop, which resulted into me crashing into the building and I was out of commission and James had to do my work as well as his own. I do feel bad for him.
(It showed Donald rolling back to where the signalbox is, the rails were slippery and couldn't stop until he crashed into the signalbox, that left Donald getting blamed by his controller, and that resulted in James doing his work as well as Donald's)
Rarity: Ooh, that's rough for you, my Scottish friend. What happened with you Douglas.
Douglas: Well, I had to help James with his train of trucks up the hill, and there was one sod, the Spiteful Brakevan, has been giving me and my brother a hard time, and there was one time where James had no steam to go up the hill and that resulted in the Spiteful Brakevan getting crushed to pieces.
(It showed Douglas helping James with his train and when they're approaching Gordon's Hill, and James suddenly lost steam and that resulted in the Spiteful Brakevan being crushed)
Rarity: Oh my, you murdered that brute!
Douglas: What?! No, no, I didn't kill him, he was repaired but was left at the sidings for a while until he learned to behave, but who knows when that'll happen.
Donald: We should probably get going Dougie, let's leave the two to their date. It's been fun talking with you James.
James: See ya Donald and Douglas. Hopefully we'll see each other.
Rarity: Those two sure our fun.
James: Yeah, they can be fun, but they can be a bit of a pain sometimes, especially when they argue. Their arguing is a nightmare to hear, but they eventually reconcile after they apologize to each other.
Rarity: Huh, that's really interesting. I never knew that you and Douglas had a bit of a rivalry in the past. But I'm glad you two resolved your little bout. So, where to next.
James: Well, I'm all rested up and I can still skate to the boutique.
Rarity: Alrighty then, let's get going my favorite gentleman.
James: Hop on m'lady.
So Rarity hopped on James and he skied across town on their way to the boutique. As they were skiing along, they encounter someone else walking in front of them, it was Duck, Oliver and Toad.
Duck: Whoa buddy slow down, this isn't a skate park.
James: No duh Sherlock, I was doing this in style.
Duck: That doesn't sound safe James if you ask me.
Oliver: I have to agree with Duck on this one, you could get seriously hurt if you're skating that recklessly.
James: Reckless?!
Rarity: Now, now boys, let's not fight. I'm sorry for your scuffle Duck, but me and Jamesy here are having a day to ourselves and he's been doing this in style if you ask me.
Toad: We don't blame you Ms. Rarity, we're just concern for James's well-being.
James: And I appreciate it Toad, along with your Great Western buddies, but I can take care of myself.
Duck: Well, sometimes James, you may think you can take care of yourself but it has lead you into some skirmishes that are a bit hilarious if you ask me.
James: Okay, I don't need to hear it Duck. I got myself a date that's still going on.
Duck: Okay James, but don't say I didn't warn you. Come on boys, let's leave James to his lovely beauty star.
Oliver: Alright then, come on Toad.
Toad: Right behind you Mr. Oliver.
James: Ugh, honestly, I like the Great Western folk in all but they can be a bit of a bore if you ask me. Always saying the Great Western Way is better than any other way.
Rarity: Is that what they usually say?
James: Only to Duck, Oliver and Toad usually tag along but still stick with the way we go with. But that doesn't matter now, let's get going or we'll be late.
Rarity: Right you are Jamesy.
So Rarity hopped onto James' back and he begins skating along to the boutique, as they were skating along, James noticed a crate that was in their way, so he jumped over it and he made it. But he didn't see a plank of wood swinging towards him and it smacked him in the face. Rarity managed to leap off before James came crashing down.
Rarity: Jamesy, are you okay darling?
James: Ow, who put that plank of wood in the way of my skating.
Kelly: Sorry about that James, didn't notice you were in the way of my crane arm.
James: Kelly?
Kelly: Yep, that's me along with Isobella.
Isobella: Hello James.
James: I did not know there was going to be a building around this area.
Kelly: Some builders wanted a new restaurant being built around this part of town, there wasn't much there so we thought it will be a perfect area to build the restaurant they wanted.
James: Well, that's interesting.
Isobella: It sure is James, I'm gonna go over to where Jack and Oliver are, and get some more wood. Be right back Kelly.
Kelly: Don't worry Isobella, I'm not going anywhere.
So Isobella drove off in her lorry to gather more wood, while Kelly gets out from his crane truck and grabs a sandwich he had in his lunchbox.
James: Well then, shall we move on Rarity.
Rarity: Yes, we shall Jamesy. Let's move out.
So they continue on to their boutique, on the way, they were blown by two other speedsters, Caitlin and Connor.
James: Whoa there, where did that gust of wind come from.
Rarity: And it nearly messed up my fabulous hair.
Connor: Whoops, sorry about James. We didn't see you there.
James: Wait, Connor?
Caitlin: And Caitlin, hello James and hello to you too Rarity.
Rarity: Hello you two, my you have some gorgeous motorcycles.
Caitlin: I know right, when we first met Rainbow Dash, we knew there was something speedy about her, so she helped us find some awesome motorcycles and now, we have these babies ready to explode with lightning speed.
James: Yes, that is nice, but just imagine if Gordon or even Spencer see you riding those motorcycles, they're gonna get jealous.
Connor: Ha, we'll blow those two back to the days of old steam power, not literally, but you know what I mean.
James: Yeah, we know what you mean. We'll catch up with you two sometime, but right now, me and her got a date with destiny.
Connor: Oh, look at you moving up in the world. Good show there, let's leave the two alone Caitlin.
Caitlin: Agreed. See ya James and bye Rarity.
Rarity: Oh look Jamesy, we're right next to the boutique. Come on, I'm sure there's bound to be a suit to go with for our big group date.
So the two of them raced in the boutique, to pick out a suit for James to wear for the big date. Having picked out one, Rarity scooted James into the changing room with the suit in hand. After some minutes of changing, James revealed himself. Wearing a red glittering jacket with a black suit inside with a red bowtie to match, black dress pants and shoes with red lacing.
James: My, oh my Rarity, this is absolutely perfect! I will so impress anyone that see me in my shiny suit and you Rarity might be the most impressed out of all of them.
Rarity: (Giggles) I'm sure am very impressed by your suit Jamesy, this will look fabulous for the big date. Along with the dress I've already planned out for the date as well.
James: And I'm sure I'll be impressed by your dress as well, m'lady.
Rarity: (Giggles) Oh, you charmer.
And the two of them kissed after their splendid time together, has gone the way they hoped. Let's see how our next couple fairs next time…..
