  1. >Hmmm, the recipe DOES call for just a one third of a cup of chocolate syrup.
  2. >But...
  3. >Those shakes that Rainbow has you on, aren't very palatable.
  4. >Hmmmm.
  5. >Well it couldn't hurt to maybe make the recipe easier to swallow.
  6. Three bottles please.
  7. >You place six bits onto the table and put the bottles into your saddle bags.
  8. >"Thank for you business Rarity."
  9. And a thank you too Ms. Drops
  10. >"My name is Bon Bon"
  11. Hmmm~.
  12. >Now for milk.
  13. >After this stop, you'll be able to return home and finish up your last order of the week,
  14. >Which should free the rest of your week up.
  15. >You don't normally work on weekends, and you certainly don't open the shop on weekends, and of course it isn't.
  16. >But you really need to pick up your work out regiment, after all the days you missed last week.  You think your flanks are getting pudgy again.
  17. >There are two mares in front of you and they, including the salesp0ny, are chatting the day away.  You think one's named "Cherry Berry"
  18. >"Oh my gosh, you didn't hear?"
  19. >"Hear what?"
  20. >"That stallion from Appaloosa."
  21. >"Yeah?"
  22. >"Apparently his cart, wrecked while he was walking down the road near White Tail Wood."
  23. >"Oh my gosh really?"
  24. >"Yeah."
  25. >"What was in it?"
  26. >"I don't know, whiskey or something."
  27. >"That's no even the worst part."
  28. >"Whaaat?"
  29. >"Should I tell her?"
  30. >"Tell her Cherry."
  31. >"Well apparently he was trying to fix his cart wheel."
  32. >"Uh huh."
  33. >"He heard something coming outa the trees."
  34. >"Yeah."
  35. >"And so he turned around"
  36. >"Yeah."
  37. >"And he saw a giant black thing coming of the bush and right toward him."
  38. >"Oh wow!"
  39. >"He said it was bigger than anything he ever saw.  Probably about as big as the Princess, or bigger."
  40. >"What? did it look like?"
  41. >"He said it was walking on its hind legs and it was swinging its fore hooves back and forth as it walked toward him.  Said it had to small glowing eyes and big sharp looking teeth. and some long sharp claws"
  42. >"OOOO!  That just send chills down me."
  43. >"Yeah, he said he never ran so fast in his life.  Ran all the way from White Tail Wood to here."
  44. >"Oh mai gosh, is he all right?"
  45. >"I heard the inn keeper, say he looked like a ghost when he came barging in, in the middle of the night.”
  46. >Well you can’t say you blame them.
  47. >You’ve probably chatted the day away while somp0ny was waiting behind you.
  48. >Wonder if what they’re saying is true.  Oh these mares will believe anything.  Cherry probably heard it from somp0ny who heard it from somp0ny else.
  49. >And so and an so forth.
  50. >”Hi can I help you?”
  51. Oh! Yes.
  52. >You didn’t notice the two walk away.
  53. Just a liter of milk, thank you.
  54. >You don’t really know the milk mare enough to strike up a conversation.  This is why you simply takes your things and leave the bits on the table.
  55. >Now to head home and get back to work.
  56.  
  57.                                                ----------------------
  58.  
  59. >Let’s see….
  60. >UGH!  Boat cut?  What in Equestria were you thinking!?
  61. >An off shoulder cut would suit this design better.
  62. >You’ve worked on this ensemble for the better part of the afternoon and well into the evening
  63. >Now…
  64. >Pun cushion… Pin cushion…
  65. >Where ever did you put it?
  66. >Hmmm.
  67. >Oh yes, right.  You gave the one you had on hoof to Fluttershy.  Well, you’ll just have to find your spare.
  68. >You open your closet door and process to dig through the mountains of assorted clothes and materials you have stored away for later.
  69. >Perhaps in here?
  70. >In the very back of your closet you manage to fish out a box, where you think you hid your spare pin cushion.
  71. >Let’s just have a-…
  72. >Your hooves tremble slightly.
  73. >Inside the box is a neatly folder black Derbyshire style suit, with a semi-spread collar, and a notch cut lapel, with a steel blue tie to top it all off.
  74. >Your pin cushion is also sitting on top of it.
  75. >You can’t help but run your hoof against.
  76. >Wool, all the way from Trottingham.
  77. >You had worked on this suit for several months.
  78. >All the measuring, cutting and theorizing.  You had spent a great deal of money on this suit.
  79. >And you never planned to sell it to any stallion.  No matter what price they offered.
  80. >You feel a slight shiver go down your spine.
  81. >Best put this away.
  82. >You found what you were looking for.  Just put it away.
  83. >…
  84. >You don’t know what is possessing you right now, but you open the empty end table on the right of your bed, and slip the little box into it.
  85. >Now back to the dress, and then off to bed.
  86.  
  87.  
  88.                                             -----------------------
  89.  
  90. >A single bead of sweat tickles your nose before it falls into the sink.
  91. Ahhh!
  92. >Ice cold water after a long run!  Is there anything more divine?
  93. >You’re glad it didn’t rain on you while you were on your little run.
  94. >You must have jogged from here and far past Sweet Apple Acres.
  95. >Already you can see it start to sprinkle outside from your kitchen window.
  96. >It’s a good thing you didn’t go too far today.
  97. >Well now, a quick cool bath before you get to work.
  98. >You make your way up the stair with a fresh towel in tow.
  99. >It’s going to be euphoric to just lie in the tub for a while.  
  100. >You had gained a considerable amount of weight at the begging of the year, Rainbow offered to help you, but her routine was a bit… Advanced
  101. >She insisted on keeping track of your progress, which you had to agree to.  You didn’t want to gain any more weight and you really did need somp0ny to help you.
  102. >You magic the tap on and walk back into the bedroom while the tub fills up.
  103. >The rain is coming down hard outside.  
  104. >You don’t seem to remember the pegasi scheduling it to pout like this.  Who are you kidding; it’s a complete monsoon outside.
  105. >It will probably be muddy for the rest of the week after this.  You feel a shiver go down your spine at the thought of trudging through all that muck and grime.  
  106. >More than likely will be as bad as your own house a few months ago…
  107. >…
  108. >No! No, no, think not of the past.  That’s all behind you, and you have wonderful friends who helped you through everything and are still helping you.
  109. >You owe it to them to move on.
  110. >Which means having that bath.
  111.  
  112. >You dip the tip of you hoof into the water to see if it’s warm enough.
  113. >No at all.
  114. >You know Rainbow told to take a cold bath after your regiment, but.  There’s simply no way in Equestria that you can stand to take a COLD bath.
  115. >You give the water another test before easing you hoof in.
  116. >Oh Celestia, how divine…
  117. >The scented candles, the bath salts, the only thing that could make this better is a handsome stallion to rub you hooves.
  118. >You give a little sigh.
  119. >If only you could find a stallion like that...
  120. >Now, about that dress for Twilight.
  121. >That dinner will be formal, and Twilight still needs a dress.  Hm, perhapse something inspired by a school uniform.
  122. >Do they have uniforms at the Magic school in Canterlot?
  123. >Perhaps Twilight has her old uniform.
  124.  
  125. > Time goes on as you contemplate the design for Twilights dress.  The feeling of your hooves pruning is enough to tell you that it’s time to get on with your day.
  126. >A quick dry before you do your hair and put on a touch of makeup.
  127. >This sight of your bedroom floor still brings a smile to your face.  
  128. >You’ve made a point to keep it clean, to the point to where you’d clean up while working.  Were you being a bit obsessive?  Perhaps, but if it doesn’t get done immediately then it won’t get done at all.
  129. >Outside so can see that the rain has stopped, with a thick layer of fog remaining.  You can barely see the houses next to your own, let alone the rest of town.
  130. >Hm, you do hope all of this clears soon; you wouldn’t want the girls to get hurt on the way over for lunch.
  131. >Has… Has the fog gotten thicker?  Celestia is has!  You can’t see anything!  Save for the grass around your home an-
  132. >You barely make out a black shape in the distance
  133. >A black pony?  Hm, you don’t remember anyp0ny matching that description.
  134. >You start to squint and try to make out what it is in the fog.
  135. >A minotaur?  Perhaps.  Maybe a-
  136. >No.
  137. >The thing in the fog is coming closer to your house.  Whatever it is It’s very tall and is walking on two legs.
  138. >No, no, no.
  139. >It’s white dress shirt is weighted down with water and is clinging to its form giving you full view of its long muscular arms.  Were it not for the undershirt and vest, you’d be able to see everything.
  140. >You must be dreaming… Yes that’s right you’re asleep.
  141. >As it comes closer you can make all of its features.  Its face looks as if it was chiseled from marble.  Its eyebrows and tuft of hair on the top of its head heighten every detail.
  142. No…
  143. >Your heart stops as it comes to your door.  Time seems to slow as you watch it knock on your door.
  144. >”Heeeeol?  Ish anybody home!?”
  145. >Celestia that voice!
  146. >You can feel your horn vibrating.
  147. >It takes ever bit of will power you have to stop yourself.
  148. >”HEeelo?  I anybody home!?”
  149. >You have to answer the door! You simply must!
  150. >Your knees start to wobble as you descend the stars to the main floor.
  151. >He hasn’t left yet, he just keeps knocking at the door.
  152. >Oooh you must be dreaming, you have to be dreaming.
  153. >You wobble up to the door and unlock it before cracking it open.
  154. He-hello?
  155. >”Hello?  Aaare you a ghost?”
  156. Um.. Well…
  157. >You sound like Fluttershy Rarity, show some dignity!
  158. >Your heart beats faster as you open the door all the way.
  159. Well uh… Hello- there.
  160. >Celestia, he’s gorgeous, every bit of his face looks as if it were chiseled by Celestia herself.  His eyes shine even brighter than before, and his cheeks are full of life and color.
  161. >His scent…
  162. >You shiver slightly
  163. >He smells so mascunline…  A perfect musk…
  164. >”Eh!  Wot are you doing!?”
  165. EEEP!
  166. >He didn’t catch you did he?  Oh no, no, no.
  167. >Stupid, stupid!  Leaning into him like that!
  168. >You-
  169. >”Ha, a talking pony.”
  170. >Celestia he’s so close to you!
  171. >You can feel his hot breath on your face, so close you could just…
  172. >You’re too lost in his presence that you don’t notice him rocking back and forth, slowly gaining momentum while doing so.
  173. >Just…
  174. >He’s not in freefall.
  175. >Kiss-
  176. mmmmMMM!?
  177. >You feel the stars explode around you as his lips meet yours, msking your horn vibrate like mad.
  178. >At least something has exploded.
  179. >Your eyes flutter for a few seconds before you push him off.
  180. Sir!  I don’t th-
  181. >”Zzzzzzz”
  182. Well that does explain the smell of whiskey…
  183. >You back away slightly in hopes he will wake up.
  184. >He lands on the floor with a loud though and a slight groan.
  185. >Oh, he’s absolutely soaks with icy water and… Angel hair pasta!?
  186. >No, not again this can’t be happening!
  187. >Oh you need to get… But he- you need- you can’t just leave him there!
  188. >…
  189. >Oh dear…
  190. >You clench your eyes shut and use every bit of magic you have to take him by his shoulders and drag him to your living room.
  191. >It takes ever more magic to heave him, face down onto the couch.
  192. >You need a few seconds to catch your breath.  And a few minutes to pick out your… Mess, from his hair.
  193. >Celestia, look at him, he looks so strong… So, toned, so gentle…
  194. >You feel your cheeks flush as you breathing becomes heavier.  You don’t care that you’re leaning in on your own, his scent is just too enticing not to.
  195. >You’ve kissed already…
  196. >Would is hurt to maybe just have…
  197. >Another.
  198. >Taste.
  199. >”RaaaAAAAAAAaarityyyy!!”
  200. AAH!!
  201. >You don’t think you’ll ever get used to Pinkie’s yelling.
  202. >Pinkie proceeds to pound repeatedly on your door.
  203. EH, um- come in!
  204. >You immediately clap your hoof over your mouth.
  205. >Oh, no, no,no, they can’t come in now!  Not with him here!
  206. >”Rarity?  Where are you?”
  207. >Curses you forgot you were having lunch with the girls today.
  208. Be down in a second!
  209. >”What is that!?”
  210. >You’re not sure how loud you screamed, but it was loud enough to make everp0ny rush into the living room.
  211. >”Wha in tarnation? “
  212. >”What is that!?”
  213. >This is very, very bad.
  214. >”I’ve never seen anything like that.  It looks like some kind of ape, but, not any ape I’ve ever seen.”
  215. >You wait for fluttershys response, but you only find her cowering behind one of your overstuffed chairs.
  216. >”Rarity?”
  217. WhAT!?
  218. >Twilight recoils slightly.
  219. I- sorry about that.
  220. >”Uh, what it this thing?”
  221. >Why you never!
  222. First of all Twilight, HE is not an it, he is gentleman!
  223. >”Oookay, so where did you find him
  224. He came to my door so, I invited him in!
  225. >"So what did he spend the night or something?"
  226. >Rainbows comment causes you to blush.
  227. >"Is he one of those exotic gigolos or something?"
  228. I- Well I- you see-
  229. >" Oh my gosh he tottally is! Rarity is totally into that shit!"
  230. >You horn starts to vibrate again.
  231. >No time to excuse yourself.
  232. >All you do is run into the bathroom and make sure to turn the fan on before you unload into your toilet.
