Day Five Rarity

It took Rarity a few minutes to remember why she was so overjoyed when she woke up that morning. Then she remembered all the events that had happened at the cafe and all the happiness and euphoria came rushing back to her. She was so happy she could have sung. She decided not to however, as it was still very early. She trotted to the kitchen humming to herself and smiling. Sweetie Belle awoke sometime later to the delicious smell of breakfast beckoning her towards the kitchen. She got up quickly and hurried to the kitchen entrance. There she saw a breakfast fit for a princess. Delicious eggs, perfectly toasted toast, fresh squeezed orange juice, and mounds of pancakes stacked clear to the ceiling. And at the counter positively hopping about with glee was Rarity.

"Rarity! What are you doing?" She said, looking flabbergasted.

"Oh I just thought that I'd whip up a little snack for you and your friends!" Rarity replied cheerfully. She hopped over to Sweetie Belle and picking her up and put her in front of the table. Just then there was a knock on the door. Rarity almost squeaked with glee as she jumped to answer it. She opened the door and lead in an awestruck Scootaloo and Apple Bloom.

"What's a'goin on here?" asked Apple Bloom.

"I just thought that it would be nice if a made a little something for you girls before you started your archery practice!" said Rarity. The Cutiemark Crusaders sat down and happily tucked in. A little while later they had eaten their way through all of the food and were sitting back happily. "Are you still hungry?" Asked Rarity over her back as she washed the dishes.

"That's okay," said Scootaloo.

"Couldn't eat another bite," said Apple Bloom.

"I'm stuffed," said Sweetie Belle.

"Well than you had better get going or you won't have any time to practice," Rarity said. She got all of their bags and pushed the Cutiemark Crusaders all out the door. "Good bye girls!" Rarity sang as she closed the door behind them.

"Umm…good bye then," said the girls as they turned to leave. Back in the house Rarity was still as happy as she could ever remember feeling. She skipped all the way to her room. She looked at her half finished dress and smiled. The angry Rarity that couldn't think of a single idea for her dress, or even thread her needle seemed as far away as if she had never happened. She suddenly realized what she wanted. She grabbed some green thread, purple cloth, and some yellow cloth. She also took some blue fabric. But not just any blue. Baby blue. After an hour she had finished. She had a beautiful dress that had a lovely purple body with a long yellow stripe going down the front of the dress and a rather pointy green hat. The collar was made of baby blue. And, though no one knew it but Rarity, the back of the dress was sewn together with green thread. Rarity took a step back and admired her handiwork.

Yes. This is definitely what I want.

She suddenly realized she was exhausted.

I've been working all morning. Maybe I should sit down and think about what I'm going to do about… things.

She sat down and stared through the hole in her roof. Rainbow Dash had made it a few weeks ago and Rarity had not been able to bring herself to pay for a new roof. Again. She wished Rainbow would be a little more careful. She hated to think what would happen if it rained. But the effect right now was quite pleasant.

"Maybe I should get a skylight," said Rarity as she watched a flock of birds fly past.

She looked through the window and thought about the events that had happened last night. She couldn't wait till it happened again.

"But wait," said a voice in her head. "Who's to say that you will do it again?"

Rarity thought on that. She could simply ask Spike on another cafe trip.

No! It has to be more special than that!

Still at a loss for what she was going to do, she got up and went to the door.

I know what i'll do. I'll go to see Spike and on the way i'll think of something special we could do together.

And on that happy note, she resumed her cheery attitude and started for Twilight's library. She trotted happily to her destination and, since she still hadn't thought of a good second meeting place, her thoughts slipped back to the previous evening. If she had one regret it was being late. She had set out early enough, but for some reason the whole town had seemed in uproar. Ponies had talked about a mad pony who had trampled through the town. She met a little filly with a broken scooter who was muttering about an inconsiderate, crazy pony who had better watch her step. Rarity had not met such a pony, but if she did met this inconsiderate, crazy, mad pony she would have a thing or two to say to her. Rarity had been nearly ten minutes late for Spike, who had clearly been thinking she had stood him up as he should. But besides that little hiccup that night they had a splendid time of it. She had told Spike about her new lineup.

Spike the dear, had payed attention the whole time despite his lack of interest in the field of dress making!

And the best part was that he had cared so much about her he had given money to the cashier so that no one would bother them. That was the sweetest gesture anyone had ever made for her. She was brought out of this blissful thought by a loud crash and considerable pain. She had been so wrapped up in her memories of the night before that she hadn't seen where she was going. Her trusty hooves had lead her right to Twilight's library door but her distracted brain had lead her right into Twilight's library door. She shook her head and quickly hid behind the side of the library. She didn't want anyone to think of her as clumsy. After a few seconds the door flew open and Twilight stuck her head out so quickly all Rarity could see was a blur.

"Everything is fine! Nothing to see her! I mean here! We don't want any! Who are you calling crazy?" Twilight barked maniacally. She turned quickly one way and then the other before slowly pulling her head through the door and then quickly slamming it behind her.

Rarity stared at the doorway with concern.

I wonder what happened to her!

She shook her head. She had no time to wonder what was wrong with her friend. She still did not know what she was going to do with Spike. She pondered this for a long time before she came up with what she thought was the perfect idea. But now she was faced with another conundrum for clearly Twilight was not in the mood to be disturbed. She thought of maybe climbing the tree so that she could go through a window. She looked at the dangerous height and gulped. She had a better idea.

I could get Sweetie Belle to go in and get Spike for me!

She was just about to when someone bumped into her from behind.

She, thinking it was Twilight, jumped a mile and turned around ready to run. But to her relief it was Spike. It was a mark of her feelings for Spike that Rarity kept from laughing at him. He was a mess. He was coated with what looked like stickers, frosting, juice, water, coconut shavings, and had a nasty looking bruise on his left arm.

"Spike I was looking for you," she stammered.

"I was looking for you too," he said.

I can't believe it! He was looking for me!

"So what did you want to say?" They both asked each other.

Then at the same time they said,

"Well I…"

"The thing is…"

"I was wondering…"

"Would you?"

They both looked each other in the eyes.

"Sorry, I'm a little nervous," said Rarity. Spike nodded.

"Me too," he said. "I was wondering if maybe you would want to go on a… a…" Spike sputtered.

"A date?" Asked Rarity excitedly.

"I…well if you wanted to… I guess it would be…?" Spike sputtered on.

"I would love to go on a date," Rarity said, looking into Spike's eyes. The moment seemed to last a lifetime.
