One-Shot: For Rarity Day

>Torn clothes, covered in mud, cuts, bruises, a very blatantly obvious black eye, and overall dirtiness was not the normal way to approach a lady's store.

>Especially not when it's pouring rain outside.

>Today, however, you really didn't have a choice.

>Raising your hand, you rap on the door a few times.

>You sure hope she stayed at work late tonight.

>"Coming~!"

>A cheery voice is heard from the other side of the door.

>A few hoofsteps later, the door swings open.

>Her cheery disposition is quickly replaced my a shocked expression.

>You knew what was coming next.

>'How could you do this?'

>'You smell awful!'

>'What did you do to your clothes?'

>You were more than ready for her slew of degrading remarks.

>"Anon, oh my goodness, are you alright?!?"

>That wasn't degrading in the least.

>In fact, that was so far off base of what you expected, you don't even have the reaction time to respond.

>"You, inside, right away."

>She digs a hoof into your shirt and drags you inside, mud and all.

 

>Next thing you know, you're in her boutique.

>"You're quite lucky I'm here Anon, I was caught up in..."

>She turns back to you, standing there.

>Boy are you quite the sight.

>"What HAPPENED to you?"

"Heh, well, you see..."

 

>A few minutes ago.

 

>Rainbow Dash stands behind you, hunched over.

>You grip the hoofball tightly, preparing for the snap.

>Big Mac to your left, Donut Joe to your right...

>Your front line was unstoppable.

>"RED 3, ORANGE 72, YELLOW 42..."

>It's go time!

>"HIKE!"

>You snap it to Rainbow, and prepare to hold off the assault.

>Big Mac stops Snowball dead in his tracks.

>Donut Joe's keeping Braeburn and the Doctor at bay.

>That leaves you with...

>...a large, menacing...

>...running at full speed...

>...Iron Will...

 

>Back to the present...

 

"...after I went down, everyone cheesed it, 'cept Rainbow."

>"Those RUFFIANS."

>You rub your forehead, remembering the incident.

"Yeah, Rainbow helped walk me here and, well, here I am."

>She hands you a towel.

>"Feel free to wipe down, you can rest here as long as you need."

"Thanks Rarity, I appreciate it."

>She smiles, accepting your thanks, and walking into another room.

>You really truly do appreciate it.

>After toweling down, you take a seat on a nearby wooden chair.

>Why did Rainbow decide here of all places?

>You could have sworn Rarity hate dirt and messes.

>Especially when they are attached to people.

>Suppose it was nice of her to make an exception for you.

>In any case, your chest is starting to bother you...

>You slip your shirt off and give it a once over.

>Geez, you could have sworn it was a bull that hit you, not a train.

 

>You aren't the only one to notice your ragged state.

>Rarity walks back in the room with a cup of tea.

>Which she almost spills after catching a glance of your bare chest.

>"A-anon...that, uh..."

>She then notices the large black and blue bruise that was bothering you.

>"What is THAT!? Are you okay, darling?!"

>She rushes over to you, putting a white marshmallow hoof on your chest.

>You anticipate pain from pressure being applied to a CLEARLY bruised area...

>...but her touch is soft, gentle.

>As is her voice as she consoles you.

>"That looks terribly painful..."

>Even a hint of sadness in her voice.

"It's...it's alright, Rarity, I can manage."

>She recomposes herself, taking her hoof off your chest.

>"Yes, of course. I think you should get yourself washed up, though."

>Come again?

"Uhh...what?"

>"I can't dress those unless you're clean!"

>She plans on cleaning and dressing your cuts and bruises?

>Mare needs to open a hospital in this boutique!

 

>Eventually, she forces your ass up the stairs and into the bathroom.

>She can be a forceful one at times, that mare.

>Though her intentions are nice, at least.

>You strip down, noticing the many aches and pains in your body as you do so, and step into her shower.

>It's a nice one with a fancy sliding glass door.

>You leave your clothes on the floor as you step inside and turn on the hot water.

>DAMN that feels good.

>Compared to the cold rain on the outside, anything would.

>The hot water runs down your head, back, and legs, washing away all the dirt and blood caked on you.

>Not to mention the heat also soothes the pain.

>The steam rises from the shower, fogging up the glass.

>You stand there in peaceful contemplation for a few minutes.

>Until the door opens.

>...

"...Hello?"

 

>The worry in your voice is evident.

>A few hoofsteps, and the door is closed.

>Oh shit what.

>A step or two is taken towards the shower.

>Oh man wait a minute...

>Another couple of steps.

>Whoa whoa hold on, oh god...

>You don't think...

>No, she wouldn't.

>A white marshmallow pressed up against the glass door.

>Oh fuck she would.

>The door starts sliding open very slowly.

>YOU AREN'T PREPARED FOR THIS.

>The door slides open more, and when it's a few inches open, a white marshmallow hoof reaches in...

>WHAT IS SHE GONNA DO-

>Oh.

>Shampoo.

 

>You graciously take the shampoo from her hoof.

"Thanks Rarity..."

>The embarassment saved up from that incident lingers on your voice.

>"Not a problem, Anon."

>She giggles lightly, shutting the glass screen.

>A few hoofsteps later, and the door reopens and shuts, leaving you alone in the bathroom once again.

>Well that was extremely embarassing.

>She was even laughing when she left...

>*sigh*

>Women.

>Looking down, you can't help but notice something that was not there a few minutes ago.

>...

>Truly you are the master of subtelty.

>After a few more minutes of soaking in running water (and shame), you exit the shower.

>You grab a fresh towel and dry off.

>Time to suit up.

>Your clothes are ready, nice and clean.

>Rarity's magic is so useful, at times.

>Boxers, check.

>Jeans, check.

>Shirt...MIA.

 

>Where's your t-shirt?

>Agh, you know you brought it in here.

>You walk out of the bathroom with the towel slung over your shoulder, hiding your massive bruise as best as you can.

"Rarity, have you seen my shirt?"

>"Oh, just a moment!"

>You see her appear out of a room and walk towards you.

>"There was an awful tear in it, so I thought I'd fix it for you."

>You see her glance at your bare chest.

>Great, more gawking at the bruises.

>Her eyes weren't really looking at the bruises though...

>She blinks rapidly, shaking her head rapidly.

>"Head downstairs, I'll be right with you with some equipment."

>'Equipment' makes it sound like you're about to be operated on.

>But this isn't Twilight's house, so no dangerous dissections.

>You hope.

>You plop yourself down on Rarity's insanely comfy couch.

>Holy shit this thing is made of the finest down and concentrated rainbows or something.

>You then imagine a couch made of Rainbow Dash.

>...nah, too tough.

>You relax as you hear Rarity come down the stairs.

>"Alright Anon, time to make you feel better~"

>Ho~ly shit.

 

>The next thing you see is Rarity, decked out in a full blown Nurse outfit.

>And when you say full blown, you mean the WORKS.

>The little Nurse's cap, pink gown, shoes, and black socks.

>You have no words for this situation.

>As evident by your expression, which consists of nothing more than your jaw hitting the floor.

>She gives you a sultry expression, stepping forward slowly.

>"This is the project I was working on...you like?"

>You can only nod slowly in agreement.

>She giggles lightly, walking up to you.

>Her hooves place themselves at your sides, standing over you.

>Her face inches from yours.

>Her sapphire eyes gaze into yours.

>"Don't worry Anon, Nurse Rarity will make it ALL better..."

>You fucking love modern medicine.

 

>The next day...

 

>You walk down the streets of Ponyville, towards a certain destination.

>"Anon! ANON!"

>A blue blur flies at you.

>You greet the pegasus with a ceremonial brohoof.

>"Hey dude, how ya feeling?"

>The answer should be obvious, as you've been wearing a stupid grin all day.

"Better than ever!"

>"So I take it the night you spent with Rarity went well?"

>Wait a minute.

"How did you know I spent the night there?"

>A few moments later, Rainbow bursts out laughing.

>"Oh come on Anon, isn't it obvious?"

>No!

>"Rarity's been eyeing you for weeks now, it was getting painful to watch."

"Wait, really?"

>"Absolutely. I had to hook a sister up, so..."

>She winks, nudging you in the side.

>What a bro.

 

>As you keep walking, the destination appears in sight.

>"Back to Rarity's so soon?"

>Damn right.

"I'll thank you to take your leave now."

>"WHAT?!? But we were gonna hang out today!"

"Heh, sorry Dash. Change of plans."

>"Oh yeah, what are you going to be doing?"

>As she asks, you walk up to Rarity's place, knocking on the door.

>Rarity opens the door, once again clad in full Nurse outfit.

>You step inside, and before she closes the door, Rarity looks to Dash with a wink.

>"Sorry, dear, patient confidentiality."
