Chapter 7: "Rarity's Gift"

Twilight Sparkle was the first to awaken, Graham still sleeping on her. She smiled a bit and nuzzled and looked at the time. They had about 2 hours to be there, so she nuzzled more to wake him up.

"Graham...wake up, sleepyhead..." She said in a warm and calm voice. Graham soon opened his eyes slowly to see her and smile.

"I had the most wonderful dream of you..."

"I know...we can do so much now that we shared our first love...We can read each other's thoughts, and see each other's dreams...I noticed it was about us and a foal..."

"Mm...yeah, it was...I want that to happen, so badly..."

"You know, it might just happen, Graham..."

Graham blushed a bit and smiled at the thought. Looking into her eyes, he kissed her sweet lips. They continued the kiss for five minutes before Twilight broke it. "We'll have to get you ready to meet the princess, Hun." "Oh right." He replied with a chuckle.
They both got up and decided to get breakfast first. They opened the door to sit down at their table. Fruits were set in a bowl, along with other things that Twilight was accustomed to. Graham looked at the food, noticing it was made from hay, grass, and other things he couldn't eat. "Um, I'd hate to break it to you, but..."

"You are an omnivore, and as a omnivore, you need specific foods to survive, such as certain meats, and many kinds of greens." Twilight saw the look on his face in surprise as she giggled.

"I should tell you the whole thing with the mind connection, huh?" Twilight said with some giggles added in. Graham nodded and looked at her.

"With this Mind connection, we share everything with each other. We share all of our memories, thoughts, and we learn just about everything about the other mate." Twilight said.

"And as proof that this is real, I took the liberty of having spike cook you up some fish, and rice. It might not be a breakfast you would have back at your old home, but it's the nutritional value that counts, it has high protein in it." Twilight smiled as Graham dug in. "It's so delicious!" He said aloud as he stuffed his face. Twilight Smiled as she had a grass smoothie and an he was done he got up and smiled. "I guess I should go clean up...um...your bathroom is upstairs on the left, right?" He thought, she smiled and told him he was right, he started to know the house, even before he looked around to get acquainted with her house.

He looked upstairs and got ready. Taking a hot shower in her tub, which was surprisingly big for him, he put back on his clothes. He came out and walked back downstairs. "It's best if we go to Rarity's House to pick up those clothes she had specially made for you." Twilight said as she walked over and smelled her shampoo that was used in his hair. "You smell good with my shampoo." She said as she hugged him. "I'm glad we're together, Twilight, I feel so much more happy than I did before." He said back. "And I am happy to be with you, Graham." Twilight smiled back as they kissed once more. they made it quick as they left towards Rarity's Boutique.

Rarity was inside happily mending her supplies as she saw them come in.

"Oh Darling! you've arrived! Tell me, did Celestia give you a note?"
"Yes, She needed an audience with me, and she told me to bring my friends along. It's important I get there in time."

"I most certainly agree! But first, your new clothes have been made! I'd like to show you..."

Rarity lead on as Twilight and Graham followed her into a room where there were clothes of all shapes and sizes. She trotted over to a chest and opened it to reveal some clothes that fit him easily.

"Twilight sent me a quick note on what you really wished for in your clothing, she said you'd like them."

Graham looked at Twilight as she blushed a bit. He got a look at his new clothes and smiled.. They really were what he wanted. He had himself a hooded sweatshirt in black, within the middle of the chest, a human skull with red ruby eyes were embedded. seven shirts featuring different design ideas, including one with the form of death in hellfire as one of the shirts. He had himself some jeans that were baggy, but not too baggy with chains on one side. He had clean boxers and socks for each day of the week, and even some new white sneakers and some jewels on each heel to show them off. Rarity smiled as she saw his face gleam with excitement.

"Oh my god, Rarity these are amazing!" Graham said with praise in his voice. Rarity blushed with embarrassment. "Oh I did the best I could, and I am so glad you love them. I have one more gift for you, and it's a special costume I wanted to make from the beginning." She said as her horn glowed to have some clothes floating by. They looked to be like the ones he was already wearing. the difference he noticed was his fingerless gloves now had spikes on the knuckles, and that the palms had a small gem that glimmered different colors in the palm..

"These look great! But...they seem to be the same..."

"Do they? Did you try them on yet?"

He looked at her funny, as Graham took them into a room where he could change in peace. He then came out and noticed they were much softer, and easier to fit into.

"I want you to think of a color."

"Any color...?"

"Any Color."

He thought of a grass green and looked at her.

"Look at your flames on your button-up shirt now, darling!"

"He looked to see they changed color!" He thought of yellow, then red, then purple, and they all changed color on his flames.

"H-How..."

"It's a special Gem I had lying around. I grounded it into dust, and then had it fused into the fabric I used to make this outfit. It basically picks up on the brain signals of the wearer and changes color accordingly! It can even pick up on your emotions and change color in an instant! You can have this costume, and the rest with no charge. Consider it My gift to you, Darling!"

Graham smiled and gave her a hug. "Thank you so much, Rarity!" He said as the flames changed to a light blue for happy thoughts. "You're most certainly welcome, Deary!" She said as everyone in the room laughed.

As Twilight looked at the time, she sent a note to every one of her friends, including Josh, to meet up with them at Celestia's Chambers. They arrived a hour later where each pony was waiting. Gypsy was following Fluttershy, as it was her that took care of the dog While Graham was busy with other things.

"There you are Gypsy!" Graham ran over as Gypsy barked with happiness and jumped onto him to give him a hug. "I'm glad Fluttershy of all ponies took care of you, girl. You like Her, huh?" He smiled as Gypsy gave him lick to his face.

Fluttershy smiled. "I love taking care of animals, and I figured Gypsy needed to be taken care of while you explored Ponyville. I hope that was alright..." She said as he only smiled and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Fluttershy, thank you so much for taking care of her. Would you actually do me a favor and hold onto her for a bit?" He asked as she only smiled.

"I'd love to, Graham."

"Thanks. Thank you so much!"

Graham and Fluttershy then looked at the door as Graham stood up. The others started talking.

"I wonder what she needs us all here for..." Rainbow Dash questioned out loud.

"Maybe it's about a special occasion?" Fluttershy said.

"Ooh! I hope it's a big party!" Pinkie giggled as she bounced around.

"Whatever it is, let's hope it's good." Applejack mumbled.

"I'm sure it's nothing too big, dear." Rarity said towards Applejack.

"We'll see for ourselves..." Graham spoke up as Twilight and him lead the way towards the throne, looking in awe as a white Alicorn was atop the Royal chair, along with a Dark blue Alicorn right beside her...Whatever this was, they all knew as it was important...Something Serious...
