Author's Notes:

Warning: Very VERY weird chapter. And it's not really good either.

Third Person POV
Down the streets of Canterlot, Rarity was looking after her boutique. She smiled as she finished the last stitch of a dress that was simply adoring. The tinkle of a bell rose sweetly through the air and Rarity stood up to greet her customer.

She said with a smile, "Welcome to-" Rarity stopped talking once she saw who it was. It was Fancy Pants. Rarity looked around without arousing suspicion and wondered what was happening. Fancy Pants was always surrounded by his friends to cheer him. This time, the stallion wasn't even smiling. The most influential figure went to her shop, frowning.

Rarity asked, "How may I help you?" Rarity wondered why this figure was frowning with displeasure.

Fancy Pants asked with forced politeness, "Rarity, may we speak about a few certain factors alone? As you can see, this boutique doesn't have many security or privacy."

Rarity said, gulping, "Of course Fancy Pants. Follow me please." Rarity began walking to a more private spot, which was her personal sewing room. Her white hooves trotted with the sense of a lady as she nervously his her fear. Fancy Pants followed, his head high. His expression was unreadable as they walked in.

Rarity motioned for him to sit down on one of the chairs, "Do tell me, what troubles you here on this bright morning?"

His eyes narrowed, "I am here to talk with you. First, you did lie to me when you bragged about how good you are. You lied a lot throughout the course of when it was Princess Twilight's birthday. She wasn't a princess back then, but you still lied." Rarity took a deep breath before realizing that she didn't really have too much of an excuse.

She desperately pulled one of her few strings, "Y-Yes but I wasn't lying about other things, such as living in the castle." Fancy Pants stayed in silence for a moment, as if wondering what to say next to win this battle they were mentally having.

The stallions finally said, "Many ponies live in the castle. The Royal Guards are one example." Rarity couldn't help but feel a little intimidated by Fancy Pants. His tall stature and his firmness drove her insane. Rarity really wanted to kiss him for unknown reasons. Fancy Pants raised an eyebrow to her and she felt her love pouring.

Fancy Pants chuckled, "Rarity, you do know that you should check contents out before doing anything, right? You are currently under the effects of a truth potion. I'm an unicorn."

Rarity felt her mind spin when he chuckled before saying, "B-But you're the most important pony in Equestria! Why are you doing this?"

Fancy Pants replied, "Have you ever read Harry Potter?"

"You mean the stallion wizard with a horn levitating an ugly stick to shoot magic beams out of? Yes."

"Yes. I am like Professor Lockheart. Did you seriously believe that I was able to levitate myself and make many of the famous books with my name on it? I didn't but another pony did. Of course, I gave them a forgetfulness potion to them, and erased memories. My cutie mark is about potions."

"I-I'll never forgive you for this!"

Fancy Pants leaned over, "I despise you for lying and that's enough of a reason. Now, tell me about yourself."


Back to Rainbow
I storm out of the place before going to my palace. I knew that Rarity wouldn't be in her boutique as she was in Canterlot. Twilight was definitely studying with Starlight. Applejack was going to me on the farm. Who knows what Pinkie was doing? Fluttershy was doing something with her animals. It was late and I knew it. Moondancer was next door, snoring. I had checked before I went to my room.

I sat on the bed and looked at the mirror. I looked like a mess with my mane frazzled. Rarity would have a fit, if she was here. A cool shower would wake me up though. I turned the knob to cool and felt my mane stick to my head as the fresh water went down my mane. I turned the knob off before levitating a blanket over just with a small tug of will and drying myself with it. I put on my pajamas and decided to sleep.

Unfortunately, Cloud Chaser chose to knock on the door at that moment, "Prin-Rainbow. Princess Twilight requests for you to go to her castle."

I sighed and muttered, "Five more minutes."

"What was that?!"

I called out, "I'll be out in a few minutes!" I flew outside and landed outside of Twilight's castle. I trotted in and sat down on my chair.

Twilight yawned, "Thanks for coming everypony. I wouldn't have asked you here if it isn't important!"

Twilight turned to me and smiled, "And thanks for not breaking the door or a window." Applejack and Pinkie stifled some laughter while Fluttershy nodded.

Twilight finally said, "I just came from an interesting conversation with the Cloudsdale mayor who seems to be in a state of hysterics. He seemed to be having a friendship problem. You wouldn't know anything about that, would you Rainbow?"

I smirked, "No."

Twilight rolled her eyes before turning to the others, "That could be resolved later. For now, we need to be focused on something. Rarity appeared in my library with a bright burst of aura surrounding her. I can assume that she was teleported. When she woke up, she couldn't remember anything, her name inclusive. She's in my room currently, sleeping. We need to investigate." The door creaked open and we all reared back, prepared to fight. Instead of a monster or an enemy, it was Rarity who walked in.

Rarity stumbled into the room, "Twilight? Who's surrounding you?"

Twilight replied, "Try to recall. Maybe you'll get back a few memories. Think of the color pink. What do you see?"

"I see that pink mare over there. Wait a second... Pinkie? Rainbow? Twilight? Applejack? Fluttershy?" Her memories clicked and her cutie mark glowed for a few seconds.

Twilight hugged her, "Rarity! I'm so glad that you're back to normal. Now, who took you and ponynapped you?"

Rarity shook her mane, tears forming in her eyes, "I could only remember being in my sewing room with an unicorn looming over me. I-I ate something yesterday that made my tell the truth to him by making him appeal to me. Twilight, I'm-I'm pregnant."

Twilight asked, "What did you say?"

I sighed, "You're starting to sound like Fluttershy."

Rarity broke down, crying, "I-I-I'm pr-pregnant!" I gasped in shock, clearly not expecting that.

I asked Twilight, "Is there a spell to get Rarity unpregnant?"

Twilight shook her head sadly, "No, she will have to give birth. Technology really hasn't been improving nor magic in this section. Also, unpregnant isn't a word." Rarity full out bawled while the others looked at her with sympathy.

She cried out, "This is the worst. Possible. Thing. And I actually mean it this time." Rarity levitated a fainting couch that came out of nowhere and pretended to faint on it. Behind the couch were two buckets of ice cream, which she immediately began to eat. Twilight signaled us to give Rarity some space and we all backed away.

I looked at the time, "Sorry girls. I need to go to a town meeting."

Twilight looked at the same clock, "Me too." I flew out the window and into my throne room, where many Pegasi were already gathered. I sat on the throne and waited for the clock to tick to one.

I said, "Welcome to-"

Moondancer sat by my sighed and whispered, "Rainbow, they can't hear you. You need to use your royal voice, like every other princess. Also... You kind of forgot to get a few advisors." I really hated my royal voice, if I was going to tell the truth.

I sighed, "You are going to be my advisor, if you are up for it. I mean, you are the only pony I trust that's here and is able to freely voice your opinions. I know that the others are still a little scared of my awesomeness."

Moondancer nodded, "I'll have to call you Princess though."

"Scratch the princess part. Twilight never uses it."

"How do you know? Did she trust you to go to one of her meetings?" I shook my head. I had denied the offer before, although I did read the newspaper about how Rarity called Twilight a princess.

Moondancer sighed, "Well, I've been to one with a small problem after she visited me and everypony, even your friend Pinkie, called her a princess since the press could be disastrous. Trust me, okay?"

She did know better than I did so I nodded, "Fine, but I'm asking Twilight later."

I took a deep breath before using my royal voice, "Welcome everypony, to the first meeting for the Pegasi. Uhh... Without further ado, let's begin. Moondancer will trot around and chose a Pegasus who is raising their hoof to speak who will stand on the carpet. Then the Pegasus will talk about this problem and stuff will happen." Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Moondancer almost slapping her hoof into her forehead. She didn't though and smiled politely. She trotted down the stairs with ease and randomly chose a pony in the first row that I didn't recognize.

The pony stood up, walked to the carpet, and bowed, "Princess Rainbow. It is my honor to be here. I have a few concerning issues about my grandmother, who has fallen ill with the feather flu. As you know, Princess, the feather flu is deadly for the elder Pegasi." Why was he asking about health issues? I don't give a flying feather about them. I looked at Moondancer for help.

Moondancer said, "If I may, Princess, I think that your grandmother should go to a nearby hospital."

I nearly slapped myself on the forehead before saying, "Moondancer, there aren't any hospitals in the sky. Also, Earth ponies and Unicorns don't really know how to treat this condition. That's what makes it super deadly."

Moondancer looked down, "Sorry."

I turned to the Pegasus, "How bad is it?"

He replied with a shaky voice, "S-She is v-ve-very sick, Princess. E-even if she'll d-d-die, I-I don't w-want it to hap-happen to anypony else."

I looked at Fire Bright, who was standing on the other side of my throne, "Fire and Moondancer, you were both one of Princess Celestia's students. Do you think that it'll be possible to cure it with magic?"

Fire hesitated, "Nopony has ever tried before, Princess."

I said, "Then I shall pay for educated ponies to create a big hospital in Cloudsdale. Remember though, you could still create hospitals but this one will be the first one and hopefully will be successful. What's your name?"

The pony said, "My name is Dive, Princess."

"Are you willing to advertise and draw other Pegasi to try to pass an exam to be in the hospital?"

"Of course Princess."

I turned to the crowd, "Auditions to be in a position shall be held from 8 in the morning to 2 in the afternoon to find qualified ponies. I know that you most likely won't have any medical licenses but as the princess, I am qualified to give them out. As a side note, I am recruiting guards and other members. If you are interested, please ask me to see if you can fill in any of the positions. Now, Dive, you are dismissed. Who is the next pony?"


After 6 hours of boring stuff...
I said, "The town meeting is over. The next meeting will be next week at the same time." The Pegasi nodded, muttering happily amongst themselves. Moondancer and I solved many problems and reseolved whatever we could. My personal guards went and did whatever they did around the castle. I excused myself to read magic books and practiced my magic. Levitation was easy now and so was basic transfiguration, such as transforming apples into oranges and back. Once, I even accidentally turned my bed into a pillow when I really wanted to sleep. I was also able to form shields that swords couldn't break through and I didn't ask Twilight to try to break it. It was time to attempt teleportation. Today would be my first attempt to appear in Twilight's library. It wasn't really long distance so I should be fine. I knew that I just needed to think of the library and then think of teleporting there.

I closed my eyes and concentrated, 'Library... Library... Library..." It was important to vividly remember it and pinpoint an exact location. When I could manage it easily though, I wouldn't need to do that. I continued to think about that before thinking of teleporting myself there. I felt my stomach turn a few times and I landed somewhere that contradicted my cloud floor. I stumbled, my vision unclear and threw up in a nearby garbage can.

A voice asked, "Rainbow?" Twilight used her hoof to make me steadier. Although my head was pounding, I managed to not throw up again. I saw Twilight sitting next to me on one of her chairs.

Twilight said, "Drink this." She levitated a drink to my hoof. Too exhausted to move my hoof up, I easily used my magic to lift the drink up to my mouth. In a few quick gulps, I drink the foul tasting liquid. Immediately, my senses returned and I didn't feel like throwing up anymore.

I said, "Thanks Twi."

"No problem," she said as she levitated the empty cup someplace else.

Twilight asked, "Was that teleporting on purpose or on instinct?"

I answered, "I did it on purpose. Also, I thought that I would check on Rarity."

Twilight's eyes lit up, "You did? I'm sooo proud of you! If you want, I could help you with teleportation, which isn't exactly easy. Maybe we could even work on your control. I remember having barely any control over my magic once I was an alicorn. Do you want to work together?"

I nodded, "That'll be cool. What time are free tomorrow?"

Twilight looked at her calendar, "I'm free at six in the night. Maybe you could come and stay for dinner."

"Sure."

I asked once more, "Is Rarity okay?"

Twilight sighed, "Not really. She is very confused at the moment. Let's visit her. Do you want to try and teleport us there? She's in her room in this castle, which I know that you've been in before. I'll get some of my potion, just in case."

I nodded, "Sure, that will be cool." She levitated a drink in a bottle and waited. I touched her and thought of her room from before teleporting. I immediately felt dizzy once more but I quickly drank before I would throw up on Rarity, who wouldn't like it.

Rarity was on the bed, "Hi Twilight. Hi Rainbow."

I approached her, "Hey, are you feeling awesomer?"

Rarity weakly smiled, "I still can't believe it but I am feeling slightly better."

Twilight trotted over, "I think that you'll be okay for an ultrasound."

I asked, "What's that?"

Twilight replied, "It's a magic scan to see the foal." She used her magic and a screen popped up.

Twilight gulped, "Uhh... Rarity?"

Rarity gulped, "What is it?"

"I can't tell what the gender of him or her is. It's there for sure but I think that it's dead. I'm sorry Rarity, but you will be giving birth to a dead foal."

Rarity took out some ice cream, "Of all the worst things... This is the worst. Possible. Thing!"

Rarity levitated a spoon over, "And I actually mean it this time."

I turned to Twilight, "Geez, couldn't you at least soften the blow?"

Twilight only shook her mane, "I need to tell the truth, Rainbow. It was necessary. I'll leave you two to talk." She trotted out and closed the door.
