Kid Anon and Mommashy part 3

>As a few days roll by, you do your best to take on more responsibilities in the cottage.
>Fluttershy oftens lends a hoof to you when you have trouble reaching areas you were better off not reaching anyway whenever you clean.
>She monitors you at times when you take care of the animals, though you have managed to become much better at keeping track of that. Except for the bear. Despite Fluttershy's insistance that is nonhostile, you are too scared to even go near it whenever it comes by.
>The one thing you always refuse to do is go out with Fluttershy to do any shopping or visiting her friends. You always make up an excuse she always buys. Such your only ensemble, pjs, are not "going out material". And you have made it abundantly clear you refuse to go nude like a pony.
>In truth, you were afraid. You still slightly held on that you were some kind of creature to be gawked at.
>At night you would hold on too the cute little pony doll that Pinkie had given you through that present. What you thought was too girly for you was now something you confide in, only because you were too ashamed to tell Fluttershy.
>Upon waking one day, you find the cottage deserted. Not completely uncommon. It was more of a sanctuary to the animals as they always came and went when they pleased.
>Though what was odd is Fluttershy was also not present.
>You look about, calling her name. This wasn't like her, she always let you know when she was leaving. You have even managed to get her to wake you before she ever departs...you liked giving her goodbye hugs.
>You frown...it wasn't like her at all.
>Upon looking at the table, you notice a slightly fresh breakfast of pancakes had been left. Aswell as a note.
>You take the note and read it.
>According to the note, it seemed Fluttershy needed to attend to something urgent. But it wasn't very clear what that was.
>The last part filled you with dread.
>It seems she set up a surprise for you. And her friend Rarity should be arriving shortly.
>Another pony? Her friend Rarity? Alone?....you needed Fluttershy for this. You had wanted to meet all her friends at some point. But not like this, not without her to protect you.
>You became worried, soon could be now even. You only knew what Fluttershy told you and you remember her mentioning Rarity only accepts the best or something like that.
>Why was she even coming anyway? What surprise? Dammit Fluttershy, you didn't want this...not by yourself.
>You took deep breaths, you started to try to eat as calmy as possible. Hoping Fluttershy's delicious pancakes would calm you.
>Time ticked away, enough for you to finish your meal and even get a glass of water. No knock at the door.
> You start looking about, even Angel was gone. And you were in abit of a spin to clean. You notice your doll and hide it under your pillow. No sense as being seen as a sissy.
>Time ticked on, Soon enough wasn't soon enough. And after about an hour. You thought maybe she wasn't coming. You take a breath and gently sigh. Crisis averted.
>Suddenly, a knock on the door makes you fall over. Fluttershy never knocks. It's her home afterall.....it had to be Rarity. You stay absolutely still.
>You can hear her voice, very sophisticated, as she asks to be let in. That she was wondering if a boy named Anon was present.
>You stay silent....please go away....please...you thought this as hard as you could.
>Rarity wouldn't relent, she finally started to sound annoyed. And even stated that ladies shouldn't be treated in such a manner.
>You cringe....she was a girl afterall. Fluttershy ahad reffered to you a few times as a fine gentlecolt. To botch that now....would probably...dissapoint her.
>You inch towards the door, and ask who is behind it.
>You can hear her whisper "Finally"
>She tells you in the most dignified of ways that she is Rarity, and that she was here for a "person" named Anon.
>You gulped, and slowly opened the door. At the other end stood Rarity....in a sun bonnet? Designer sunglasses...?... Fluttershy wasn't kidding, clothes for ponies DO exist. And she actually looked good in them. Didn't stop you from being cautious however.
>Rarity smiles at you and looks at your face and remarks that you look "rather charming"
>Rather charming? You blush abit, first few seconds in meeting this one and she finds you "rather charming"? Perhaps she was just buttering you up.
>You both stand still, staring at one another. Until Rarity started to shift her eyes as she removed her glasses.
>You stayed unmoving
>She coughed abit. You didn't know what to feel at this moment.
>Then she softly whispered.
>"Young Anon, eheh. It is usually the male's duty to invite the lady into their home with a rather wholesome greeting and a polite attitude"
>Your eye twitches
>You frantically open the door, you felt like a complete tool, making the lady wait outside like that. You try to welcome her in a calm voice as she steps inside. But it comes up jumbled and out of order, you couldn't even offer her anything she might need at the moment.
>Then you just realised you let the stranger pony into the cottage. But before you can even react to your own buffoonery, a massive tank of a bag floats by you and gently lands besides Rarity.
>You fall over and point, and yell out how it was possible for a bag to float in midair.
>Rarity calmly uses her magic to slowly unpack it, and smiles at you. It seems, unbeknownst to you, that she had gathered enough information about you to know how you'd react. As she takes your fidgets in stride and simply states that she knows Fluttershy has explained unicorns to you.
>Fluttershy had, but you never saw any magic used until now. You took a deep breath and tried to calm down. It was too late anyway, she was inside. You took notice what was coming out of the bag. Various cloths and materials, gems, needles, tape measures. within moments the cottage had turn into a mini-boutique. But....why?
>You clear your throat as Rarity puts her full attention to you, and make a simple statement as to telekinesis being magic. She smiles again and explains that there various forms of magic, but the magic she performs best at are "miracles".
>"Miracles? You...grant wishes?"
>She cackles, and explains that it's nothing of the sort. She explains to you that she uses her talent to make anypony look good and feel good about themselves, something she came to do here at the request of Fluttershy. She even states she had been wanting to meet you, but she had been far too busy. The reason she was even late was apparantly caused by dirt getting on the lens of her sunglasses.
>You watched as she removed her bonnet and hung it up on her hatrack...thing...whatever. And hung onto the words that she wanted to meet you. What became nervousness had turned to annoyance, you had tried to get your mind off it. But here was another pony here...ready to see the "human phenomonon". You even dared a thought that Fluttershy was doing it on purpose.
>You gave her an awful look as you sat at the couch, in turn she frowned. "Whatever is the matter? I hope I hadn't frighten you that badly"
>You huffed, and just stared.
>Rarity stared back, she seemed rather puzzled by your quick shift in attitude. She tried to tease you abit, explaining that she was there to help you make a grand entrance in Ponyville. But you stayed silent, growing angry. Rarity fell silent again, she again tried the "treat ladie's right" route by telling you you are being rather rude to your guest.
>You growl, and tell her she can just leave then. That you were perfectly happy where you were. That you didn't need to make a grand anything.
>Rarity starts to sound abit angry herself and protests that if she understood correctly, the reason you never wanted to leave the cottage was your clothes. And that Fluttershy was afraid you'd get lonely at times being without her.
>You cringe abit, with that information being out in the open. You felt your only options was to stay silent, scream incohorrently, or tell the whole truth. You chose to clam up.
>But Rarity didn't let up, she just kept going, and implied it was the fact she wanted to meet you that incited this strange reaction.
>You shake abit and turn away, you didn't want to do this again. You didn't want to cry. You were wishing Fluttershy would swoop in and tell her to shut up, that she was wrong or something.
>It seemed Rarity knew enough it seems, She spoke as if you had said "yes". Explaining to you that knowing her client and getting to know them was essential to her work, moreso she even tells you that you being a new being apparantly not from Equestria had sparked her curiosity.
>You had it, a confession, freak confirmed, you turn to her and point. "Aha!..I..I knew it..I knew that's why you came, That's pro-".
>But Rarity cuts you off, and stares deep into your eyes, as if looking into your very soul. "AND...I do admit I was very curious to meet the, human I beileive you reffered to yourself to her? Very curious actually, I would only guess that seeing something new and exotic would pique anypony's curiosity. Infact..."
>she stays silent. What the hell was she talking about. She was digging her own grave...perhaps even a grave for your love for Fluttershy if this is all you are good for. you even yell "Infact?! Infact what?!"
>She clears her throat. "Infact I'd wager my cutie mark that one of the reasons, And I beileive Fluttershy when she told me, you wanted to meet us, her friends, was because you had never even heard of, and please excuse the term, "talking magic ponies". That is one way you have reffered to us yes? That's abit rude, we'd prefer just pony thank you very much"
>You fall silent....oh god...she was right. One of your own major reasons was that. Hell your big reason as you recall for wanting to meet this Discord guy was because he was a god. You never thought for a second you....might...just might...had been doing the exact same thing. And now...you had nothing but your shame.
>Tears starting to slowly flow from your eyes. Were you really so immature to not realise something so obvious? That a person...pony..you never even met seemed exactly poised to set you up for that self realisation? that...
>Suddenly you feel a hankerchief start wiping your tears, as Rarity starts to speak again. This time in a much gentler tone.
>"Now now little Anon, no need for tears."
>You looked up at her, she was frowning. You took the floating cloth gently and started wiping your face.
>It was like she knew...something..like it was planned.And yet, it was like she truly understood your position somewhat.
>You apologize to her, but she tells you not to worry about it. You didn't know what to say now.
>She sat beside you, it was like a boy next to it's pet. She started to explain to you that she was going to mention the curiosity bit, that she had heard about what happened at the party. It seems she felt that while Fluttershy was being a caretaker to you, she was perhaps being too motherly and felt you may have not realised that what seemed to have happened could have been avoided had someone made mention to you that it was the same for you aswell, She didn't tell Fluttershy she had this planned, she felt it had been better without her input. She even went on to say she knows somewhat what it's like.
>You inquired how, she explains to you that some ponies seek her out for her talents and nothing more, never even caring about the pony behind the designs. She even tells you that some ponies even have taken advantage of this. This was news to you, you had assumed there were no ponies like that, or atleast it was a rare thing.
>You begin to calm down and take a breath. It seems you need to broaden your thinking alittle. You chuckle abit, you just got logic destroyed by what should be by all intents and purposes, the pony version of a bimbo.
>She asks if you are feeling any better. You reply with a nod and return her hankerchief. She gives it abit of an eye and magically trashes it.
>"Ahrm, yes. Now that rather insightful business is over, I do beileive it'd be best we start over."
>She gets back up and stands infront of you, staring into your eyes. She suddenly goes silent.....what...what did she want now?
>You cough nervously, this went from depressing, to hopeful, to downright confusing. You let out a soft ummmmmmm.
>Rarity coughs
>You still say nothing.
>she then whispers to you, as if it was to be kept from onlookers who weren't actually about. "A gentlecoat always introduces himself to the lady first, and then asks for their name"
>You facepalm, right, right. OF COURSE that's what she meant. You immediatly stand and bow before her, feeling abit humiliated at the same time, and introduce yourself as Anon, and then ask for her name. She replies with her name,Rarity, and says that it's an absolute pleasure to meet you.
>likewise.
>Thus began the next reason Rarity came by. To get your measurements and make a few demo outfits so she can get an idea as to what to make you.
>You frown when you find this out. You tell her you have no money whatsoever to pay for such services. And even then, you felt uneasy still about leaving the cottage.
>She scoffs at you as she magically pulls you in using measuring tape to bring you infront of some mirrors. She starts to jot notes as she mentions how absurd to even think this was going to cost a single bit.
>Bit?...that's right, Fluttershy had mentioned that was Equestrian currency. Rarity starts issueing you commands that you reluctantly comply with as you ask her about the ponies of Ponyville. She seemed to have abit more of a insightful view on the subject.
>She assures you that it indeed a very friendly place, and to not worry too much. You protest abit, but she just responds to that by poking your nose with a gem.
>She tells you everything is going to be fine, and that if anypony did try anything, she'd show them the "wrath of Rarity". Was that a thing? The fact she was delayed by dirty sunglasses was offputting....still...atleast you knew someone...pony..had your back. Though you never doubted Fluttershy, and even perhaps Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie did too. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad when you finally decide to make a public debut. You'd have to at some point, lest you get poked by more gems.
>Finally, you could put your arms down as Rarity finished taking all the necessary measurements and told she already had a good idea for a demo design. You were just happy you could put your arms down, they were tired.
>You tried to ask her what that might be, but Rarity only replied with it being absolutely darling.
>Darling?......You were hoping you weren't going to look dorky. You did have to ask though, you asked if she even knew how to design for a human. She laughed, And said if she wasn't putting the effort into the design, then a simple and tacky ensemble would require no effort whatsoever. And with that, she started to work her magic.
>At this point she didn't answer anymore questions you had. It didn't surprise you too much. She was like a machine with those needles.....maybe she was? Who knows.
>You went to sit on the couch to wait...
>After about an hour, she stopped. She was sweating. But smiling an almost eerie smile. She called for you.
>You got up and walked over to you as she held up a swanky purple suit with dark purple stripes , with a cute green bowtie, The pants matched the suit well. She even made you a custom belt with a rather neat looking dragon belt buckle...but how does it look when on yourself.
>You actually feel a sense of excitement as you begin to pull off your shirt until Rarity gruffs at you.
>"Please tell me darling, that you weren't going to undress yourself while I was present, were you?"
>Your face turns bright red. In your excitement, you almost got naked infront of her. oh boy, that would have been awkward.
>You wait for Rarity to get behind the mirrors, and even ask to make doubly sure she can't see you as you get dressed into the suit. Once you have, you say you're ready.
>As Rarity turns, her face turns bright with a smile. " Absolutely divine! You look quite handsome Anon. Heheh, I must say, I was ALMOST afraid I wouldn't beable to pull it off"
>You looked in the mirrors. For a kid, you looked quite swanky. You even gave a few poses to your singular audience.
>Rarity laughed, making a mention that you reminded her of a young dragon she knows. She knew a dragon? Goddamn, Fluttershy and her friends know some powerful peo..pon..things. You hoped there wasn't some magical mafia ring going on.
>And with that, Rarity explains she now had a full idea of a set of clothes to make for you. And that you could even keep the prototype, she figured you'd might want to show it off to Fluttershy anyway. You do.
>For abit of extra time, you and Rarity talk about simple things for the duration of the visit. You can't tell her much, since you can't remember. But from what you gather, Equestria does seem to have its ups and downs.
>Rarity starts to pack, saying she did have a wonderful time, and that she hopes you will continue to grow into a fine young man. You smile, then frown abit as you say your goodbyes. You wanted to ask if she could stay, until atleast Fluttershy got home. But....you didn't. You only said goodbye and as gentlemanly as possible, sent her on her way. You figured after all that. It'd be best not to bother her any further. Besides, now you had a cool new suit to show off.
