The idea was brought up in a forum I frequent that maybe Blueblood wasn't interested in Rarity for a reason. Nothing new, I know, but it made for amusing enough brain food that it kinda spiraled out of control, getting long enough to be it's own story, not just a silly little scene by itself.
This is the result, enjoy!
Also: on a hopefully-not-breaking-any-rules issue, I googled the cover image, saved it, copied and pasted it here. Someone please let me know if that's not allowed or something.
