The Rainbow in the Rough
Chapter 3: The Rainbow and the Diamond
Previous Chapter Next ChapterRainbow dash was zipping across the skies doing the job she was tasked with for the day. Her wins pushing faster and faster. She want to get done soon so she could do her flyby of the Carousel Boutique. This time she made sure that Rarity wasn’t going to be in the way. Rainbow Dash couldn’t handle another run in like that. She may be the cools pony in all of Ponyville, but her feelings for Rarity would not be good either of them.
“Today must be my luc…” Rainbow was cut off as Rarity come running out to flag Rainbow down.
“Rainbow Dash darling, could you come here and help me with a dress I’m working on. I need somepony who can pose in it for me,” Rarity smiled sweetly at Rainbow, trying to get her to do this for her.
“I don’t know R” – The look that Rarity was giving her was just too much for her to say no to. She would have said yes in hoofbeat if it meant that she would be spending time with her. – “Fine Rarity, I will help you model your dress.” Before she could even begin moving to the door. She could feel the magic pulling her pass the doors.
Rainbow Dash lets out a long sigh as Rarity was dressing her up and putting makeup on as well. Her ears where turning red under her sky blue fur. She kind of like being dressed up by Rarity. Rainbow smiles with her eyes close as Rarity sings a little song.
“You have a very lovely sing voice Rarity,” Rainbow mutter without really thing.
“Why thank you sweetie. That is so kind of you to say," Rarity smiles as she keeps getting the dress on Rainbow Dash. The dress was looking smashing on Rainbow. Rarity steps back and smile at her work.
Rainbow walked over to the mirror and blushing as she looks at herself in the dress, "Wow, Rarity. This dress looks amazing. It looks like it was made for me."
"Oh... well I just seen the materials and well... you know me. I just love making dresses and made one for you for the next Grand Galloping Gala," Rarity moves around Rainbow so that she could hide her face.
Rainbow felt herself being to floating in the air as the dress being to come off her in a very hurry. Rarity’s horn was glowing with magic. Before Rainbow could say a word about what was going on. She found herself sitting outside the door with the makeup still on her face.
Rarity had her back to the door to keep Rainbow just in case she try to get back in. She pulled out her plushy of Rainbow Dash with her magic and held it close to her chest. She hope that Rainbow would think that she just had more work to do and need the room cleared to work.
Rainbow got off her rump and looked at the door and was kind of worried why she was rushed out. She didn’t want to push the issues with Rarity. She couldn’t afford do anything dumb like rushing back in there. So with a heavy sigh she flies home and hope Rarity is okay.
For the next few days Rainbow chose not to fly by the Carousel Boutique for she didn’t want Rarity to get upset with her. She did get kind of lucky, in that she got few more jobs that would let her spend more time working. Which she used to practice some of her tricks that she would one day use to get into the Wonder Bolts.
While Rainbow was working hard. Rarity was trying to do the same, but as she would work on a new dress that she was commission to do. She found herself looking out the window and watching Rainbow flying. She found herself stopping her work while watching. This was getting harder and harder for her to deal with. So to keep her eyes in the room, she pulled out the Rainbow Dash plushy doll. She knew that this was not a fix that would last long.
Rarity was not the only one who had their minds on other things while they work. As Rainbow racing around trying to keep the sky clear. The thoughts of Rarity would drift through her hear. For a moment she thought that she seen a group clouds that look like Rarity. She thought she was going crazy. It only had been a few days since she had last seen Rarity.
Rarity finished up the few dresses she had to work on. So with nothing really to do for the rest of the evening. She took her Rainbow Dash plushy to her bed so she could snuggle it before she had to cook dinner. She let out a sigh as she realized that she was going to be alone tonight. Sweetie Bell was out for the night with her friends.
As she was eating a simple meal of nicely cooked dandelions. She looks over to where she had left the Rainbow Dash plushy and sighs. What is up with you Rainbow Dash dear? You made my day to see you fly by here, but you stopped. Oh, I wish I had someone to talk to about this. She really like seeing Rainbow Dash fly by? Oh how she could see Rainbow’s mane flowing like silk
She stump her hoof on the table and looks toward the sky. “Rainbow Dash I will be bold like you. I will show you my true feelings. Maybe if I’m bold like you, you may like me the same back?” She looks down and feels a feeling of fear. She rather deal with Discord again then try to tell Rainbow Dash her feelings.
Rainbow felt safe to fly by Carousel Boutique again. So when she was done with her work of the day, she took a nice speed past there. Unknown to her, Rarity was waiting for her to fly by.
“Rainbow Dash,” Rarity called out, which caused Rainbow to stop.
“Y…yeah Rarity? What do you need?” Rainbow’s heart was being to race.
“I need some help with something important,” Rarity smiled as Rainbow lands in front of her.
“I… I guess I could help,” Rainbow’s heart was now beating faster and faster as Rarity walked her into Carousel Boutique. As they both enter the room, the door lock and Rarity was now looking at Rainbow.
“I have a few questions that maybe you can answer for me,” Rarity moved closer and closer to Rainbow. Rarity’s heart was now racing as she got closer. She had never been so bold before.
“Oh… ha ha, what could I be able to answer for you Rarity? I don’t know fashion,” She was backing away.
“Why did you stop flying by here for a while?” Rarity’s voice was getting shaky. Rainbow looks around the room and she didn’t know what to say. She need to be as bold as she was when she was flying and doing all the ticks.
She took a deep breath and look Rarity in the eyes, “I thought you might have been mad at me when you kind of kicked me out the last time. I didn’t want to make any madder at me. Rarity, I couldn’t handle you being made me… I love you, Rarity.”
Rarity drops back on her hunches and blinks, “You… you love me. I... I didn’t think that you would feel that way about me.” Her breathing being to pick up.
Rainbow Dash walks toward her. Her eyes told Rarity that her feelings were true, “Yes Rarity. I do, I have for a long time now. So I must ask you one question now. Will you be my special somepony?”
Rarity looks up at her and slowly nods, “Yes, oh yes Rainbow.” Rarity being to cry for joy. A dream they both had been wishing for came true. Rainbow smile and kisses Rarity deeply. The kiss last for a long time for them. Oh thank you Celestia for this day. Was the thought that want through their heads.
