- >but, every pony was going to have to move on...
- >she had passed.
- >Sweetie took it the worst
- >you've never seen a pony cry that much
- >you still went to the boutique every night
- >mainly to reminisce, partly to make sure nobody broke in
- >but when you got there, something was wrong
- >the door was slightly open
- >you quickly run in, expecting someone taking advantage of the abandoned property
- >hunting for valuables or something
- >you weren't ready for what you saw
- >you freeze in your spot when you see it
- >your mind had to be playing tricks on you...
- >it was Rarity
- >missing parts of her skin and her bones exposed
- >hard at work on her dresses
- "Oh, hello dear!"
- >she sounded pretty cheery, almost like normal...
- >"ra-ra-ra-rarity?"
- "The one and only, Darling!"
- >"but, you... you are..."
- "I am late, is what I am!"
- >she was...
- >"You're not supposed..."
- "I was supposed to have this order done a week ago!"
- >you blinked a few times, hoping the sight before you would disappear
- >is this just your grief-addled mind?
- "Arrrgggh!"
- >she let out a long, annoyed growl
- >"What's wrong?"
- >her ichor kept dripping onto the dress she was working on
- "I just cannot keep this dress clean!"
- >you took a step forward, to get a better look
- >her bone hooves were hard at work on the dress
- >that she was currently making a mess of
- "I'm sorry, Darling, but I can't do anything else until i fill this order."
- >she looked up to you with those big, blue eyes
- >besides slightly dulled, it looked like her eyes
- >her cute little snout was nothing but bone and teeth now
- >there was a chip in the poor mare's horn
- >her coat was dingy and covered in dirt
- >but her mane was still neatly-styled
- "And this mess isn't helping..."
- >her mess
- >her insides were now outsides
- >unknown pony inside parts were hanging
- >and dripping
- >and just looked nasty
- "Aha!"
- >you jumped at her outburst
- "I can incorporate this into the design!"
- >she floated more materials over to herself magically
- >"Rarity..."
- "Yes darling?"
- >you were drawing a blank due to fear
- >just ask her anything...
- >"How do you feel?"
- "Fine, Darling. Why do you ask?"
- >well, she has certainly looked better
- >but you weren't going to risk telling her that
- "Darling, could I ask a favor of you?"
- >you were afraid of what she was going to ask
- >after a moment of hesitation, you spoke up
- >"Sure, what do you need?"
- >as she looked up, you worried what she was going to say
- >those dry, dull eyes were staring into your soul
- "Could you help me with this dress? I've got a case of the butterhooves today."
- >that's not the worst thing that was wrong with her
- >"s-sure, Rarity."
- >you could have sworn that she was smiling
- >which was impressive, for a pony without lips
- >or mouth muscles
- "Why thank you, Darling. You're so sweet!"
- >you took a seat near her and sat silently
- >she hadn't seemed violent
- >...yet
- >you watched her boney hooves rattle as she worked
- >she was struggling to hold onto the now-stained cloth
- >you silently inched a hand near her
- >she wasn't lunging for your soft, delicious skin, which was good
- >you held the cloth flat as she tried to sew it
- "Thanks, darling."
- >"No problem"
- >oh, there was a lot of problem here
- >Rarity sat there humming one of her little songs to help her focus
- >all you could focus on is... her current state
- >you swear you could see the bottom of her lungs in her ribcage
- >rising and falling as she breathe
- >her slick hoof bumps into your hand
- >her bones were smooth
- >yet you instinctively pull it away very quickly
- "Sorry, Darling."
- >you almost tipped your chair over
- "My, what has you so jumpy today?"
- >her teeth clattered as she asked you
- >"n-noth...nothing."
- >those eyes continued to stare at you
- "Okay, then."
- >she went back to her dress
- >even in this state, she kept up her pace
- >after a few minutes, she took a deep breath
- "Ta-Dah~!"
- >she said in a loud, sing-song way
- "Isn't it beautiful?"
- >she said as she lifted her dress up with magic
- >"It..."
- >it really was beautiful
- >she did know how to make the best of a bad situation
- >"It's one of your best, Rarity."
- "awwwww!"
- >you stepped back as she lunged for you
- >before you knew it, her hooves were around you
- >you expected pain...
- >but she was just squeezing you
- >in a big hug
- "Thank you so much, Darling!"
- >she was nuzzling your chest
- "I really love how it seems to flow with the, um..."
- >you returned her hug
- >she stopped moving after your arms wrapped around her
- "how it flows with... the stains..."
- >she started shaking in your arms
- >you heard her take in a deep breath
- >then she started to softly cry into your chest
- "the stains... I put in it..."
- >you stood there hugging
- >as she cried
- >the longer she cried, the more you felt like crying with her
- >she was cool to the touch
- >you could feel her organs touching you
- >her heartbeat pressed against you
- >it didn't even matter that your clothing was ruined now
- >you consoled her for a while
- >even though eventually you had to sit down
- >but you still held her
- >and even though she cried for a long time
- >you weren't sure if she shed a single tear
- "Darling..."
- >"yes Rarity?"
- >she sighed as she broke the hug with you
- "If it's okay with you, I would like to be alone as I finish this order."
- >"Are you sure?"
- "I... yes."
- >you wiped a tear as you stood up
- >"I'll stay if you want me to."
- "No Darling, it's fine."
- >"Well, if it's what you want..."
- >you ruffled her dirty mane lightly
- >she looked up to you with what you thought was a pouty look
- >the best she could do, missing half her face
- >you smiled to her as you tried your best to fix her mane back to how she liked it
- >you could feel a lump in your throat as you spoke to her
- >"I'll see ya later then, Rarity..."
- "Goodbye, Darling."
- >tears welled in your eyes as you walked to the door
- "Oh, Darling!"
- >"Yeah?"
- "Could you lock the door for me, please? I don't want any visitors for a bit."
- >"Yes, Rarity."
- >you locked the door and closed it behind you as you left
- >you stood at the door and wiped tears for a minute
- >as you headed back into town
- >you could hear her voice
- >faintly singing in her boutique
