- >PLEASE don't tell Rarity!
- ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
- > You run a hand through your scalp, your head long devoid of any hair.
- > Twilight's experiments made sure of that.
- > Sweetie Belle sat on her bed, staring dejectedly down at the shreds of what once was, exquisite clothing.
- > Lavender silks, Purest cottons, Scarlet threads followed by golden patterns.
- > It was part of her sisters new line after all, the one she had been talking non-stop about for three months.
- > You let out a long whistle, scratching your chin in thought.
- > "She's going to kill me!" The filly shrieked, her voice cracking.
- > That was adorable.
- "I don't know what to tell ya'..." You muttered.
- > She looked like she was on the verge of tears, about ready to collapse any moment now.
- > One moment you were coming to visit Rarity and the next...
- > You look over the strips lining Sweetie's bed.
- > You were stuck with this...
- > You sigh and fold your arms.
- "How did you- Wha..."
- > "I tried to give Opal a bath. I didn't realize that Rarity's new line was still hanging out..."
- "Ah..."
- > Sweetie Belle shot forward; tackling your chest.
- > "Help me! Help me! Help me!"
- > You frown and pat her head silently.
- > Well....
- > You couldn't say no to that...
- > You pull the filly away, wiping the snot and other bodily fluids forming on your suit.
- > The non-sexual kind of course.
- > It's a little kid!
- > The ribbons of used to be clothes could have her tears now.
- "Okay... How about weeee... remake the line, how long until Rarity gets back from the store?"
- > Sweetie Belle gave you a blank look.
- > "I highly doubt that's going to work Mister Anon."
- > Yeesh; you were just trying to make her feel better.
- > Didn't know she was that close to her sister.
- > She did have her cutiemark now though.
- > Which for some reason, filled you with unfathomable rage whenever you would stare at it too long.
- "Okay..."
- > You lean against her white and purple painted desk, nearly tipping the whole thing over.
- "Weeee blame the cat entirely. Rarity is sure too buy that."
- > "She's still wet. And Opal knows not to touch anything that's not hers since Rarity took her to Fluttershy."
- > Has she been in this situation before?
- "Okay... rounding back to the first idea. I'm confident we can pull it off-"
- > "Anon..."
- > You sigh, letting your shoulders drop.
- > You didn't want to tell her the possibility of just having to....
- > Stallion up and face it.
- > You remember when you where a kid trying to hide stuff from your parents.
- > Your dad hung from the ceiling; completely decked out in splinter-cell esque gear.
- > "Listen here you little shit, I've served twenty years in the marines. I know when you're trying to hide porn."
- > He threw down a multitude of magazines depicting women in naughty, suggestive, or outright humiliating poses.
- "Pot."
- > Your dealer crashed onto the table, bound and gagged.
- > He let out a muffled cry shooting you a look.
- > "And bad grades!"
- > Your teacher slammed on top of your dealer, letting out a gagged cry of pain.
- > "I didn't go through two-hundred confirmed kills and over sixty-three missions for Americas GLORY to be played by some 14 year old!
- > "Anon are you okay? You look like my dad whenever he talks about the war."
- > You shake your head clear; forcing any oppressed memories out of your mind.
- "Yeeeahhh... Fine..."
- > You had to help her.
- > Rarity was definitely going to kill her...
- > This line had been for some big debut. If Rarity found out the Sweetie had been the main reason behind its demise...
- > Wow, you did not want to be in her horseshoes right now.
- "Okay; grab a shovel, rope, a bat, and some tape."
- > You are Rarity.
- > You hum to yourself as you trot down the streets of ponyville.
- > You give a friendly wave to some of the more excitable residents of ponyville.
- > "How's it goin' Miss Rarity!"
- "Wonderful~!"
- > "How's your day today!?"
- "Just delightful!"
- > You loved life right now.
- > Three days from now you would make you great debut of your new line.
- > You had put three months of hard work, tears, and sweat into this line.
- > And it would be MARVELOUS!
- > Despite your self-preservation of public image you found yourself clapping your hooves together and squealing like a school filly.
- > You clear your throat and go back to ambling towards your Boutique.
- > You couldn't wait to get back.
- > You were going to celebrate all of your hard work tonight with a rather powerful drink.
- > The weight of the bottle seemed to quiver in your saddle-bag, respondent to your thoughts of it.
- > You couldn't wa-
- > WHAT IN TARTARUS!
- "MY BOUTIQUE!"
- > Some of the ponies that lived closer peered their heads out of their houses.
- > Some gasped while others just retreated back in.
- > You Boutique was absolutely ruined.
- > Busted windows, broken support beams, splintered wood.
- > The door was knocked in; nearly broken in two.
- > You push past the rubble.
- > Oh sweet Celestia.
- > The inside was much worse than the outside...
- "What happened!?"
- > You could've swore your shrill scream just rattled the entire town.
- > Two figures hidden just beyond the living room caught your attention.
- > You galloped over to them.
- > It seemed to be Anon and Sweetie tied to chairs.
- > They had potato sacks thrown over their heads.
- > You used your magic to rip the sack off of Sweetie Belle, earning a surprised gag from her duct-taped mouth.
- > You peel the duct-tape away.
- "Sweetie Belle what happened!?"
- > She looked like she couldn't decide on what to tell you before she frowned and folded back her ears.
- > "I-I don't know... Anon knows more than I do..."
- > You gallop over. Taking the bag off of Anon.
- > His face was bloodied, bruised, and cut.
- > A half-closed eye stared at you silently.
- "Shrarity..." He spat.
- > Was he trying to say your name?
- "Anon! What happened to you!?"
- > He grunted in pain.
- "Wrobberss...."
- > He nudged his head towards the backyard.
- > You peer out of the kitchen window...
- > And you scream in terror.
- > Your new line!
- > Torn too ribbons and strewn about the yard like confetti!
- > You snap your eyes shut; trying your best to turn away from the horror before you.
- "Who did this?" You growl.
- > You are Anonymous again.
- > So far the plan was working...
- > You think back a bit.
- > 'Ok Sweetie, the only way Rarity isn't going to go Predator on your flank is if you do as I say. Now... wreck some stuff up with this bat..'
- > 'Anon I-'
- > 'Do you want her to use your skin as the next fabric for her line!? Trust me, I know best.'
- > 'Okay...'
- > 'First, hit me...'
- > 'Wha-'
- > 'Hit me!'
- > 'Anon I can-'
- > 'Do it!'
- > CLUNK!
- > 'Argh!'
- > 'You asked me to do it...'
- > Yes, yes going perfectly.
- > Turns out thought that Sweetie Belle had a secret swingers arm- err leg that she didn't tell you about.
- > Oh well, the excruciating pain you were in only helped to serve your story good.
- > "Who did this!?" Rarity repeated.
- > Sweetie Belle flinched.
- "Da wrobbers!"
- > Some specks of blood followed suite.
- "Dey shaid your line shucked and they wuld be back!"
- > Sweetie Belle seemed like she wanted to protest briefly.
- > Hmm...
- > Didn't know Rarity's eyes could glow like that.
- > In fact you were 100% sure they shouldn't practically be on fire.
- > "T-They what!?"
- > She hopped up in the air, fire bellowing from her mane and tail.
- > You had only seen Twilight go Rapidash.
- > And that was once.
- > "Where did they go!?"
- > Oh she was talking to you.
- "E-everfree..."
- > "Where?" She growled.
- > You gulped, swallowing a bit of your blood.
- > Sweetie Belle managed to get close enough and whisper without Rarity noticing.
- > "We should just tell her Anon, this is making things worse..."
- > You should...
- > You look at the current state her boutique was in.
- > But that would include taking responsibility.
- > Screeeew that~
- > "Whest shide..." You sputter out.
- > You just said a random direction.
- > With a flash of magic the ropes holding you and Sweetie were cut.
- > "Come on!" Rarity shouted, bucking open her backdoor.
- > "Wha- where are we going!?"
- > "Too get vengence!" Rarity shouted galloping off into the town.
- > ....
- > If you didn't go with her she was more than likely to get lost.
- > Plus.
- > Sweetie was already taking off after her; shouting for her sister too come back.
- > You couldn't let Sweetie spill the beans.
- > Rarity would skin the both of you.
- > You specifically!
- > You had to figure out a way too keep your lie hidden.
- > Without the little one spoiling it.
- > You grab a bag of ice from the freezer and take off after them.
- > Marshmellows weren't going to make you take a punishment.
- > Not at all.
- > It hadn't taken long for you to catch up with the girls.
- > Rarity stormed through the Everfree brush, using her magic to clear some path.
- > Luckily unicorn machina kept your face looking healthy and well now.
- > You and Sweetie followed behind her, Sweetie looking rather nervous about the whole fiasco.
- > She turned to you and clopped her hooves together nervously.
- > Rarity was too caught up seeking vengence to notice either of you speaking.
- > "Anon, does lying to Rarity make us bad ponies?"
- "Not at all."
- > A Timberwolf let out a pathetic howl in attempt to run away from Rarity.
- > She growled something incomprehensible and blasted it with her magic, tearing it apart.
- > "That wolf probably had pups..."
- "Not at all Sweetie. It was in the wrong place at the wrong time."
- > "Out of my way!" Rarity shouted at something.
- > A Manticore roared in surprise as it was tossed over your heads like a hacky sack.
- "I'm sure this will blow over..."
- > Besides; now that you got a good look at Rarity.
- > She let out an ungodly snarl, ripping the vines infront of her in two.
- > You were 100% sure you didn't want to tell her anything.
- > "Anon things could get worse if we don't tell her..."
- "Shhhh, things aren't going to get worse!"
- > "Don't you dare try and hide from me!" With a shout the whole shrubbery in front of Rarity was set ablaze, not by magic but by the sheer power of her anger.
- > You scratch your rear, earning a disgusted look from Sweetie Belle.
- "Yeeeeah, it's fine."
- > "W-why didn't I ask Rainbow Dash for help..."
- > Night fell quickly.
- > Of course it would when you were just following after a literal slaughter house.
- > The three of you sat around a campfire.
- > You held a couple of roasted lizards of the fire, overturning them slowly.
- > Sweetie Belle stared at the ground silently.
- > Rarity just fumed to herself; staring at the fires as if they were her salvation.
- > They were yours at least.
- > You pull one the lizards to your maw and take a bite.
- > Delicious.
- > "Rarity, I've got something to tell you." Sweetie Belle started.
- > "Yes my dear?" Rarity asked, her demeanor changing from blood-thristy powerhouse to sisterly love almost instantly.
- > "We wer-"
- "Woah! What's that!"
- > You point at the night sky with your stick.
- > Rarity craned her head.
- > You snatched up Sweetie Belle placing her next to you and across the fire from Rarity.
- "Ssshhh!"
- > "But Anon..."
- "Rarity! I also heard the dastardly criminals that robbed your store say they were going to destroy the fashion industry forever! Think about it, no mor-"
- > BWWWAAASSSSHHH!!
- > A literal beam of light emitted from Rarity's horn, lighting up the clearing to near blinding proportions.
- > "THEY SAID WHAT!?"
- > You made a fundamental miscalculation of this mares anger.
- > "If they so much as lay a hoof on the industry I strive to achieve perfection in!"
- "But they do!"
- > "Anon please stop!" Sweetie pleaded.
- > Was it getting a little hot?
- > You wipe away sweat from your fore-head.
- > Hmmm.
- > You turn back to Rarity, who was still practically Super Saiyan three.
- > You could feel your eyebrows singe away.
- > "Anon, we've got to stop!" Sweetie shouted.
- "They want to take everything Rarity!"
- > "Why are you still doing this!?" Sweetie tried to squirm from your grasp.
- > The ground around you began to swirl, slipping into the mares beam.
- "All of your hardwork and thought, gone like dust on the wind!"
- > "Anon!" Sweetie shouted.
- > Rarity's shout reached a crescendo, merging with the beams raw power.
- > Leaves began to pull from the trees, flowing into her beam.
- > They were disintegrated along with the logs and dirt pulled in.
- > Your clothes reached out, threatening to be ripped off at any moment and join the fodder for Rarity's rage.
- > Her eyes glowed intensely, the blinding light scanning the area.
- > Only way you were going to get out of this was to make her completely focus on something else.
- > "Anon stop it!" Sweetie shrieked, her voice hardly audible of the rage cannon.
- "Negative! If I stop here we're both boned, look at how mad she is!"
- > You hold the filly up, letting her get a good look at her sister.
- > "She's like this because you keep on lying!"
- "IIII don't think so. Not my fault she can't control her rage!"
- > "Wha-you-I"
- "Oh my lord! Rarity I just remembered something! They said they were going for your work first because it was the worst."
- > Rarity let out an unintelligible grunt.
- > She was starting to look like a magically infused, pony, orc.
- > Her under-bite hung so far out it was comparable to a deformed pug.
- > Her eyes were pools of bright white light now, nothing else but pure rage behind them.
- "I even think-"
- > BOOOM!
- > The last thing you saw was a pure white explosion of light, engulfing you.
- > You flew backwards at what felt like mach 2 speeds.
- > The world went dark.
- > Drip...
- > Something wet splashed against your face.
- "Ohhh Samantha stop..."
- > "Anon!"
- > The voice was hazy, blurred by your half-asleep mind.
- > With a groan you creak your eyes open, staring at a wooden ceiling.
- > What the...
- > You sit up looking around.
- > You and Sweetie were locked in a wooden cage, the bars looking just thick enough to withstand anything you could dish out.
- > Sweetie watched with concern.
- > You roll around, meeting what she was staring at.
- > Oh....
- > Earth ponies in tribe garb danced around a heated cauldron, an unconscious Rarity in the stew.
- > "Ooga, chaka, Ooga, chaka, Ooga, Ooga, Ooga chaka."
- > The earth ponies chanted as they danced around.
- > They bared pointed teeth and edgy tattoos that you only expected to see on Deviantart back at home.
- > Or tumblr if you got unlucky enough.
- > They seemed to be sacrificing Rarity or something.
- > Most likely getting ready to eat her.
- > Who cares.
- > What you wanted to know was, why the hell were horses fixing to eat meat.
- > Wouldn't that give them mad indigestion problems?
- > Though.
- > It was obvious they didn't care, as evident by the way they were eyeing you and Sweetie Belle hungrily.
- > "Anon, this is what your lying has got us into!" Sweetie shouted, gesturing at the sight before the two of you.
- > You scratch you chin.
- "Nah..."
- > "I-Wha-You-!" She puffed her cheeks out, her white coat taking a red blush shortly after.
- "Look I got this."
- > You pull yourself to the bars gripping hold of them.
- "Hey!"
- > The earth ponies still ignored you, adding something new to their chant.
- > "I can't stop this feeling!"
- > "Deep inside of me!"
- > You roll your eyes.
- > Whatever they were chanting it was campy and most likely unoriginal.
- "Hey!"
- > They stopped their chant this time, each one whirling around to look at you.
- "Rarity!"
- > Despite being in the cauldron for who knew how long her eyebrow twitched.
- "Remember the crooks who broke into your Boutique!? Yeah, they're here!"
- > You lean back.
- "Any moment now and this will resolve its-"
- > "WHHHAAATTT!"
- > Rarity burst from the cauldron sending shrapnel and boiling broth everywhere.
- > "Oh Celestia it hurts!" One of the earth ponies screeched.
- > Huh?
- > Were these not chanting cannibal pones ready to attack?
- > One of them was engulfed in a ray of light, accompanied by Rarity's banshee shriek.
- > Said shriek was loud enough to tear your cage apart.
- > You snatch Sweetie up, already seeing the chaos Rarity was wrecking.
- > An explosion went off next to the two of you, throwing you clear across wherever you were.
- > The two of you came to a stop in front of a nearby trench.
- > Which you hadn't even noticed until now...
- > "Come back here!" Rarity shouted just behind you.
- > "Help!" Sweetie shouted, going over the trench.
- > You manage to catch her just before she fell in, letting out a sigh of relief.
- > "Anon, end this now!"
- "Never!"
- > Flames seemingly began to whip and crackle at the bottom of the trench, punctuating the moment.
- > "If you don't tell her imagine how mad she'll be when I do!"
- "You're not going to tell her, you're going to be quiet about it. You asked for my help!"
- > "Anon!"
- "Shut it! No this is too dangerous."
- > "Just pull me up! I promise we can work something out with my sister, she's a very willing pony!"
- > Your eyes meet hers.
- > Hers narrowed in fear and understanding.
- "No-one must know..."
- > You let go of her, watching her drop into the trench.
- > "Annnnnoooonnnn!"
- > She disappeared among the trench her voice silenced forever.
- > No-one must know you were lying...
- > Rarity would kill you...
- "Long live the king..." You muttered, stepping away from the trench.
- > As you turned around to walk away another explosion knocked you right into the trench.
- > You reached for anything on your descent.
- > You could get a hold of nothing.
- > On your way down you could see Sweetie, levitating herself with some of her BS magic.
- > You know...
- > Maybe the truth would've been the best op-
- > SPLAT!
- > You are Rarity.
- > Well relative to what happened a day ago.
- > What you were a day ago was most definitely not you.
- > You sipped on some wine, enjoying it after a hard days at work.
- > "Wow and yah' managed to make a whole new line AND repair the whole Boutique?"
- > Applejack took a sip of her cider.
- "That's riiight~"
- > "How did ya' do that?" Rainbow asked.
- "Oh, a lady never reveals her secrets. But I will tell you, holding secrets can be good for one in the end."
- > "Hmm, what about Sweetie Belle?" Twilight inquired, scribbling something down in the journal.
- > "Well nothing Darling, she told me everything that had happened and I told her it was fine, it was rather infuriating that she had lied true, but I do not hold a grudge."
- > Applejack downed her cider, letting out a satisfied sigh. "Say, any of ya' girls see Anon recently?"
- > You smile deviously.
- "He's in good hooves."
- > "Stop moving Anon, she'll be back in a couple of hours."
- > The earth pony got back to work, trying to pump out a quality red silk cape as fast as he could.
- > You simply muttered a curse from under your body cast.
- > Another pin was plucked from your back; being used to help them work on the cape.
- > Sweetie Belle tapped her hooves together nervously, looking over your broken form.
- > "I said we should've just told her the truth..."
- > You glare at her from under your tomb.
- > Someday....
- > Someday things would go your way.
