Rarity looked around.
"Where am I?" she said aloud.
"Hello, Mrs. Rarity," she heard someone say. It was a male's voice, and a familiar one at that, but she couldn't quite put her hoof on it.
"Who are you?" she shivered.
"Aww! You don't remember your old friend!?" he replied.
"Answer me! Where am I, and why are you here?!"
"Dee-mann-ding, aren't you? A bit more then before, I'd say..."
"WHO ARE YOU!" she shouted, sheathing her dagger.
"It's your friendly neighborhood DISCORD!"
Rarity frowned, "...Do I know you?"
"Ah, yes- Tigerclaw probably gave you amnesia."
"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?"
"Discord, try to feel a bit more sympathetic," another voice joined them. It was familiar to Rarity, too- calm, reserved, and caring.
"Fine, fine. Can't a God have his fun?" the creature named 'Discord' rolled his eyes as the newcomer trotted up to them- a mare much taller then she was, with both wings and a horn and pink-white fur.
"Do you know your name?" the mare said with a concerned frown.
"Of course! My name... my name is..." Rarity paused, "What is my name?"
"Your name is Rarity. Do you remember what has happened to you?" the regal pony asked.
"Well... I... I remember someone next to me. It was a... a he. My friend. And we were fighting a monster together, but my friend left, and the monster did.. something... I- I don't remember too well. What is your name, Miss?"
"Princess Celestia, co-ruler of Equestria. Do you remember anything else? Anything at all?"
"...No. I feel like I was just reborn!" Rarity whimpered.
"It is okay, Rarity. I will show you a bit of what happened, and introduce you to a few of your family members... and friends."
Rarity didn't understand, but followed Celestia as they watched some floating images- apparently, they depicted scenes from her lifetime.
"So, I'm different then before?" Rarity cocked a brow.
"Yes. Before, you looked like this-" Celestia looked over to a picture, "-But now, you look like... this."
The Alicorn summoned a large mirror, so Rarity could examine her new body. She had the build of a Unicorn, definitely, but she didn't look like one.
Her coat was orange with black stripes, similar to a Tiger's, and white splotches appeared in random places (like a cat's markings). Her eyes were each differently colored, one yellow, and one dark blue, although both of her pupils were similar to Nightmare Moon/Dawn's. Her tail was still royal blue, but it was tiger-like, still covered in black stripes, and she could move it if she wanted. Her mane was almost the same, but a bit more jagged and without curls. Her cutiemark was the same- three gems. This was her destiny, although the color had been converted to green, as was her magic.
Finally, she looked up to her ears. They were simply shorter then before, and less rounded.
"...I like it." she finally said.
"What?" Celestia had a confused expression.
"Well," Rarity started to explain, "The royal blue complements the black quite nicely, as does the white. And the orange adds a but of a spice to the whole thing, don't you think?"
"Yes, you're still the same Rarity," Celestia smiled, "Now it's time to go back."
A/N: Sorry about the short chapter, and the late update! But I have to go to the Pool right now, before my Brother is eternally ungrateful. Bye!
