- >She ever so gentle lowers the bouquet with lavenders onto the ground before the monument, before -HIS- monument.
- >She proceeds to sit there in solitude, just as every night before.
- >You hear her softly weeping, as she usually does.
- >Even as the skies grow darker and rain threatens, she remains seated.
- >The creeping chill of the comming night makes no difference either.
- >Before long, a minor downpour sweeps across the scenery.
- >As always, she doesn't waver.
- >She simply sits there, crying.
- >You pace impatiently on the spot, hidden away in the shadows of some nearby trees.
- >You had anticipated this kind of behaviour, of course, but this is getting ridiculous.
- >It's been almost a month now and she's still at it, every day without rest.
- >You could almost swear that the only reason she's been keeping up this silly act for so long is to vex you.
- >Because vex you it does, and greatly so.
- >You're getting tired of this charade.
- >You've waited long enough, it's time to take action.
- >It's time to claim your just prize.
- >When she's done here for the evening, you'll go for her.
- >You smile for yourself as you stand in the trees watching the mare you crave.
- >After some time, when the landscape around you has fallen dark, she gets up to leave.
- >As per usual she trudges forward painfully slow, lost in deeply brooding thoughts.
- >At the gate of the cemetery, she stops to take one last look over at his grave before continuing on her way.
- >You stalk after her, using the cover of nightfall you do your best to stay out of sight.
- >You doubt that she's terribly aware of her surroundings, but you don't want to take any chances.
- >You'd hate to think what she'd make of it if she caught you following her like this.
- >Comming up on The Carousel Boutique, you make haste.
- >You run towards the eastern road, in order to circle around her, making it appears as if though you were comming from an other direction.
- >As she closes in on the boutique, you just "happen" bump into her.
- >She staggers back in surprise, apparently she hadn't even heard you comming.
- >You take a step back as well, feigning shock.
- "Woah, sorry there Rarity."
- >"Oh Anon, it's only you."
- >"You gave me quite a startle."
- "Yeaaah, I'm sorry about that. I should have been watching where I was going."
- >"No no, it's quite alright darling, I'm part to blame as well."
- >An uncomfortable silence falls over the two of you.
- >How perplexing... Rarity is usually such an avid talker.
- >You feel yourself prompted to speak up before you lose her interest.
- "What are you doing out in the rain at this late hour anyway?"
- >She looks up at the sky, as if she hadn't until now been aware of the rain.
- >"Oh... I was just... I..."
- >Her gaze falls to the ground.
- >"I was visiting Spike."
- "I see."
- >You go down on one knee infront of her, bringing you face to face with her.
- "Rarity, you know it's been almost a month now?"
- >Her eyes rise from the muddy ground to face you.
- "And I don't want to sound insensitive, but isn't it about time you started to move on?"
- "I mean, you have to start living your old life again at some point, right?"
- >She glares at you with cold eyes.
- >"How can you say that?"
- >"It's time for me to 'move on'?!"
- >"Do you expect me to just forget about Spike?
- >"Am I to act as if he never even existed and as if he wasn't the greatest thing to ever happen to me?"
- >"Tell me Anon, what did our love mean if I were to cast it away as soon as he was gone?"
- >Ill prepared for her heated emotions, your mind races to think of a good response
- "But Rarity, love is for the living."
- "What point is there in wasting your love like this?"
- >Her angry brow is softened and all her fervor seems to dissipate.
- >She gets a distant look in her eyes, as if she's staring of at at something only she can see, a distant dream.
- >"He was going to ask me to marry him, did you know?"
- >"He had everything planned out; a train ride to Canterlot, two tickets to the opera, reservations a fancy restaurant..."
- >"Twilight even pulled some string for him, and we were going to spend the weekend living in the guest quarters at the Canterlot Castle."
- >"It was going to be perfect, he had made sure."
- >"Of coruse..."
- >"I only found out about this after he was... Gone."
- >Her eyes, tears escaping them, finally return to meet yours.
- >"I've been thinking about it a lot over the last few weeks,"
- >"And I know for sure now, that if things had turned out differently,"
- >"I would have said yes."
- >"And I would have been happy."
- >"Happier than ever before."
- >"I could have been happy..."
- >She pauses as her voice breaks and tears roll down her cheeks.
- >This is it.
- >This is the moment you've worked for, the moment you've dreamed of.
- >It's make-or-break now, Anon; choose your words with care.
- "Rarity."
- "I understand that losing Spike was hard for you."
- "But I also know that sometimes, when we're feeling abandoned or deprived of someone we love, it can help to have someone else by your side."
- >Her sad eyes look at you with hope, as if she's wondering where you're going with this.
- "You don't have to be alone in this, Rarity. I'm here for you."
- "In time, maybe I can help you put this sorrow behind you and make you happy again."
- >You move in to protectively wrap your arms around her, but she shies off as her face warps into what you can only describe as a mixture of disgust and disappointment.
- >"Y-you want to -help- me by making me forget about Spike?"
- >She lowers her head and sighs.
- >"You know Anon..."
- >"A part of me pitties you."
- >"You have obviously never experienced love."
- >What is she saying?
- >-YOU- don't know love?
- >Hah, if only she knew.
- >"And yet..."
- >She stares off into the distance, down the path she came from.
- >"Another part of me envies you."
- >"Because you never felt the pain of love."
- >She pauses a moment to let her words sink in.
- >"Good-night, Anon."
- >As she turns to open the door to the boutique, you realize that this is your final chance to act.
- >You can't let all your work go to waste.
- >You -MUST- have her.
- "Rarity wait!"
- >Your sudden outburst grants you her attention once more.
- "You're wrong when you say I don't know love."
- "I... I love you."
- "I love you, Rarity."
- >She just stares at you blankly.
- "I've loved you from the moment I came to this world."
- "I just want to be with you so badly that it hurts!"
- >"You don't love me, Anon."
- >"You hardly even know me."
- >You are utterly dumbfounded.
- >How could she mock your feelings like this?
- >After all you've done?
- >A torrent of anger wells up inside you.
- >Without even thinking about it, you've closed the distance between the two of you and pinned Rarity to the door.
- "HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?!"
- >Spit sprays as you shout with uncontrollable rage.
- "HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT I DON'T LOVE YOU?!"
- >Shoving her hard against the door once more you scream with all the power of your burning lungs:
- "I KILLED FOR YOU!"
- >Realizing what you just said, you manage to restrain yourself somewhat and you let go of Rarity.
- >Sloping down against the door, she stares at you with the horror of realization.
- >"Y-you... I..."
- >She's speechless, but the look on her face says it all.
- >Never before have you seen such hatred and such revulsion in someone's eyes.
- >You feel your heart shatter.
- >She will never be yours.
- >You stagger away from her.
- >A solitary tear rolls down your cheek.
- "Rarity, I didn't mean to..."
- "I j-just didn't know what else to do."
- "I did this for you, Rartiy!"
- "He didn't deserve you!"
- "Why can't you see how much I love you?"
- >Rarity simply watches you with a stoic face.
- >Dropping to your knees in the muddy road you let out a wail of agony.
- >As you sit there in the mud and rain, crying for forgiveness, she shows no emotions.
- >"I pity you, poor creature." she whispers to herself before turning away from you
- >She opens the door to her boutique and disappears.
