[FR] Metal - Part 8

>You follow Rarity to the Private Suites tower, which is surprisingly close by
>Thankfully
>You come to the area outside of the towers, and see a sight that sends a shiver down your spine
>A checkpoint
>A guard pony stands at the desk, next to a sign that reads 'I.D. Required'
>You hurriedly pull Rarity into a secluded corner with a nudge on her tail
>"What is it darling?"
Look, I can't explain right now, but there are two things you need to trust me on. One, I am innocent. Anything you hear anyp0ny say about me is a lie. Second, my life is at risk here, and I desperately need your help.
If the wrong p0ny sees me, I'm dead
>"So what's the problem?"
See that checkpoint over there? Can't happen, for me at least. He recognizes me, I'm dead.
>"So what do you want me to do?"
I don't know, can you do a teleportation spell? or an invisibility spell, or.., i don't know-
>She cuts you off
>"I have an idea"
1/?

>You watch as she walks over to the guard, shopping bags dragging behind her on the ground
>You hear from around the corner
>"Oh, if only some big, strong, handsome pony could help me carry these bags to my room! They're just soooo heavy"
>You watch as the guard pony walks away with him, and she looks back and winks at you
>Well that was easy
>You take your chance and quick-walk past the gate and into a courtyard of sorts
>You see a bush to your right and step into them
>They'll make a good hiding spot
>You wait for about ten minutes
>Every so often you peer between the leaves and branches to check if they were coming back
>Though probably hear them
>Well, her, you'd probably hear her
>Ten minutes turns into twenty, and twenty into thirty
>Finally, you hear her familiar voice float down the steps
2/?

>"Thank you for the help darling!...and thank for the help...unpacking"
>Unpacking?
>Unpacking!?!
>You were crouching in a bush fearing for your life while she got busy with the guard!
>In the bush next to you, Sweetie Belles pops out and yells
>"Oh come on!"
>Before dissapearing back into the bush
>Damn her and her bush bending powers
>The guard retakes his post, and you dart for the staircase
>Rarity already started on her way back up, but you catch up to her
Unpacking? You were getting some while I squatted in a bush, fearing that the most powerful pony in Equestria would rain hellfire down on me at any moment?!?
>"Oh yes, well its just,....it had been so long......and one thing led to another......heh heh....."
>You don't respond, because you've both arrived at the suite
3/?

>Rarity trots in and takes a seat on the bed
>Which is still un-made and disheveled
>And is that...?
>You decide to take a seat on the chair with the seat-cover
>"So, what is this I hear about you being a fugitive?"
>So you tell her everything
>About Fluttershy, and the dreams
>About Celestia and Luna, and how you might destroy the universe just by existing
>It felt good to have it all out in the open with somep0ny
>She just was quiet afterwards, then finally she said
>"Oh Anon, I'm so sorry, for everything you've had to go through here. Not all ponys are like that, I swear!"
I know Rarity. So, you're ok with having a fugitive stay with you?
>"You can stay here as long as you need darling. Or until the world explodes from you doing so, whichever comes first"
>She smiles and you laugh, getting up off the chair and giving her a hug
4/?

>Later that night, you layed out the sleeping bag you found in the closet
>Rarity had nodded off a while ago, you had stayed up to think out a course of action to take tommorow
>Nothing had come to mind
>As you lay down, you wondered what the next day would have in store for you
>You fell asleep
................
>You woke up the next morning feeling refreshed
>You hadn't felt this good since you got here!
>Well, you guess thats the power of a goodnight's sleep
>Wait............
>A good nights sleep!
>No dreams!
>No Earth-body mind control!
>Haha! You didn't know if it was a good sign, but at this point, anything that didnt take you closer to destroying all life in the galaxy was good!
Rarity!
>She doesn't wake up, but murmurs in her sleep
>".....No picklehead42.....Pickles don't go there........."
>You diregard her babble as a bad dream
>As you celebrate, a knock rings out from the door
5/?

>You hurry over to the bed and wake Rarity up, forcefully
>"Anon, I was having the most..interesting dream"
Theres somp0ny at the door!
>"Oh, go, hide!"
>You walk into the bathroom and close the door
>You hear Rarity open the door, followed by
>"Oh, goodmorning your highness"
