>Rarity Level 3 >This is where the real challenge began. >Applejack was blunter than the stick you used to keep Fluttershy off your junk and Twilight was so adorkable it was almost attractive >Almost >But Rarity was sneaky, so you had to be sneakier >Is that a word? It is now damn it cause you're the sneakiest Anon to roam these parts >You managed to convince the Cutie Mark Crusaders that they might get their spy cutie marks if they could get you Rarity's diary without being caught >And even though they didn't earn their cutie marks the candy you gave them easily bought their silence >You hope you never have to use the phrase "I'll give you candy if you keep these our little secret" ever again >But that awkward moment was more than worth it when they delivered the goods >Over a hundred pages of Rarity's designs, dreams, fantasies, hopes, and fears >With this you've set the stage to sweep Rarity off her hooves and ensure she never writes about you in that diary again >Maybe then you can sleep well at night again, but until then pages 47 through 89 will haunt you >Where did they even get leather if cows are sentient? >It didn't matter in the end >You walk through the door into the boutique and see Rarity in her sewing glasses, pouring herself into a new design >She looks over she shoulder to you and seems a little flustered you caught her not looking her best >"Oh Anon! Please darling I don't even have my face on at the moment. Did you need some new clothes perhaps? You know that means I get to try a few of my more *experimental* designs!" >She laughs as she works >From your experience experimental normally means crotchless "I need something from you Rarity, but it's not your talents I need. It's the artistic soul behind them." >You pull a bouquet of flowers from behind your back and drop to one knee so the two of you can look eye to eye >"Anon dear what is going on?" "Rarity, in all of my time in Equestria I've never met a soul so passionate and yet so ladylike. You are grace and beauty wrapped into the perfect package. A true Rarity." >She blushes and tries to compose herself but you cut her off before she has the chance to speak "Only someone as refined as you could provide me with the companionship I need Rarity. A lady for a gentleman. I lay myself at your mercy Rarity, and humbly ask that would you be my special somep0ny?" >At first she's stunned, but then her grin seems larger than Rainbow Dash's ego >"WAHAHAAA!" (now with sound effects!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=je4Qac4L0qg) >She quickly composes herself and acts like that little moment never happened >"Anon, I never imagined that you were so romantic! That you felt so strongly about me. Even in my wildest dreams I could not have predicted this!" >Pony please. >You had this scenario highlighted, circled, perfumed, and covered in little hearts. >"Why of course I'll be your special somep0ny!" >You sweep the little marshmellow off her hooves and cradle her, your mouths almost touching "Rarity, you've made me the happiest man alive. Could I ask one more request of you?" >Her hoof caresses your face >"Yes darling?" "Would you model for me?" >Check and mate >The next hour or so consists of her trying on different designs she's made and you oooing and awwing at all the right places >The entire time talking about how she knew given enough time her prince would find her, even if he had to come from another world >She goes through ball gowns, saris, kimonos, cocktail dresses, tennis outfits, school girl costumes, a rather catwomenesque outfit, cheongsams, blouses, saddles, bridles, a crinoline, and more than a few lingeries that would excite you if you were into ponies >After the hour mark you decide it's time to finish this, and reveal your ultimate weapon "Rarity dear, I have a present for you." >"And only our first date? Oh darling you spoil me. Gimmie gimmie gimmie!" "You pull out a garment bag, but hold tight as she tries to pry it out of your hands with her magic "Not so fast dear, it's a surprise. A piece of fashion from my home country, a design so unique that you'll be the most fabulous pony in all of Equestria! Those royals will have never seen anything to compare to this." >"Eeeeeeee! Please let me put in on now dear! Pleeeeeeeeease?" >She gives her best puppy dog look, one that makes Sweetie Bell look like an amateur >Instead of the dress you pull out a blindfold "I really want this to be a surprise dear. May I please dress you?" >"How intimate! Of course you can dear." >She magics the blindfold around her eyes as you begin to place your masterpiece over her naked body >She gets a bit frisky as you dress her, but that quickly turns to confusion as she tries to understand the dress she's wearing "Okay dear, you can take off your blindfold now. What do you think?" >Insert earplugs NOW >Rarity opens her eyes only to try and understand what type of monsters could create such hideous clothes >"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" >The vibrations from her scream rock the entire boutique, rolls of fabric falling off the shelves into heaps on the floor >The "dress" looks like a cross between a blanket and clown costume, bright pastel pinks and blues being overshadowed by dull browns and oranges, contrasting colors sewn right on top of each other >The mess has gloves and scarves sown directly onto the dress, itself dragging across the floor >Polka dots rested beside strips, vertical and horizontal lines running up and down the piece, inconsistent stitching making the outfit look like it was sewn in the dark by drunk diamond dogs >It made the ugly dresses Rarity made for her friends for the Grand Galloping Gala acceptable >"It's a fashion abomination. Whatever creature sewed this should be locked in an asylum and banished to the moon! What kind of-" >She stops when she sees the look of utter dejection and sorrow on your face, tears welling up in the corners of your eyes >You're just glad she didn't see you stomp on your foot to get those tears >In a way it's impressive how bad you made it >But right now is the time to use every sad kitten picture you've ever seen and put them to good use "I th-th-thought you would like IT!!!" "I worked so hard just for you!" >You bury your face in your hands to prevent yourself from bursting out laughing at how ridiculous she looks in that dress >"I'm so so so so sorry darling! I didn't mean to insult your culture or you dear, it's just that Equestria isn't ready for such, um, BOLD tastes. Please forgive me." "Okay Rarity, but that dress is an important part of my culture. Without it I just can't see us together." >"..........................................." >"Are you SURE there is nothing else I could wear for you?" >She leviates a few of her racier lingerie pieces in front of you "Nothing." >"Oh Anon, I just, I, and you, but the dress, I, I CAN"T DO IT!" >She's fallen down at your feet and wrapped her forehooves around your leg >"I just can't wear it Anon. It's SO UGLY." "I understand Rarity. I'm sorry it has to be this way, but I suppose Equestria just isn't ready for me." >You sigh and wrap her in a hug "I hope this doesn't hurt out frienship Rarity." >"Never darling. It just means I won't be letting you design me any more dresses!" >You both laugh, but Rarity's laugh is a little more bitter and melancholy >It must be hard coming so close to Mr. Right only to have it dashed out from under your feet >You might feel bad if it hadn't been for her diary entries about what she would do to you on your honeymoon >"Are you cold dear? You're shivering." "Just glad to have such a good friend." >She promises to take of her present as you walk away from the boutique, glad to have that ordeal over with >But you have no time to rest, because your next challenge could be the greatest one yet >Kinky Pie
