♦ Second Stitch ♦ Rarity ♦ | Video | Ecruteak City
[Rarity is not sobbing this time when the feed flickers on. What a relief, right? Instead she just looks tired, and perhaps a little bit wistful. Her Meowth is curled up in her lap fast asleep.]
So... I have a bit of a dilemma. You see, I used to be a well known designer when I lived in Equestria. I would make beautiful, beautiful dresses; it ( Read more... )

Oh, really? That sounds divine! I will have to go there sometime.
[Traveling wouldn't be fun if it was terribly far away, but...]
Thank you, Fluttershy. How are you today, dear?
Reply
[she also looks a little hesitant. Her last entry has convinced her to do this.]
Um... Rarity... Since I was here for a while... You would want to know anything that happened to me here...right...?

I may have to ask you to help me sometime soon, if you wouldn't mind. Your affinity with animals has never ceased to astound me.
[She tilts her head, noting the hesitance.]
Why, yes of course. After all, we did once promise not to keep our feelings a secret from each other and I think that goes for everything. You're my dear friend, Fluttershy. You should know that you can tell me anything.

[Aaand back to the hesitance. She fidgets with her fingers, trying to keep her body busy.]
So you want to know anything that happened to me... even... the bad things?
Reply
[Another beat of hesitance noted. What was up with her?--Wait. Bad things? Rarity's smile fades almost instantly.]
Yes, darling... Good and bad, I want you to tell me.
[Pause. Various thoughts are running through Rarity's head and not one of them particularly pleasant. What bad thing could have happened? She doesn't like this one bit.]
Would you feel more comfortable talking in person?
Reply
Um, if you wouldn't mind, I guess... I-It's really not so terrible, i-it was a long time ago, and I got over it!
[speaking very quickly in an effort to diffuse the tension. and... kinda failing.]

Nevertheless. I want you to tell me. Where are you?
[Determined face!]

[She moves her Pokegear to show the water, as, per the norm, she'd been chatting it up with the fish and other creatures.]

I will be there shortly.
[Rarity flips the device off and a few minutes pass before she reaches the pond. It takes her another couple of minutes to spot Fluttershy and when she does, she walks over to her, her Meowth following closely behind her.]
Hello again, Fluttershy.
Reply
Hello, Rarity...
[This would be all well and depressing - except she sees Meowth. Instantly distracted, she lifts her head again to beam at the cute kitty.]
Oooh, hello there~!
Reply
Meeeoo--!
[Rarity moves to pluck the Meowth from the ground, gathering it into her arms. You can pet the kitty later, Fluttershy. Focus.]
Please look at me, darling. There really is no need to stall. Why not get this off of your chest now..? You wouldn't have brought it up if it wasn't bothering you, right?
Reply
Well... I wasn't going to tell any of you, but people on the Pokegear said I should, and... Um.
[Finger fidgeting retarts! aghhhh whyyyy do i have to do thiiiis- rapid speaking again!]
Last winter, I saw a human kicking his Pokemon, and I tried to stop it, and we argued, and then I feel, and I was still trying to learn how to walk in this body, so I couldn't get up, so he robbed me and took almost all of my things.
[INHAAAAAALE.]
...That's it.
[... S-so, we cool now?]

[Okay, okay. Woah, woah. Rarity inhales slowly, feeling her teeth involuntarily grind together before she finally exhales. Keep it together, Rarity. There’s no need to throw a fit over something that happened in the past. Last winter to be exact. Let’s not scare Fluttershy with a huge rage-fit. But ooooh. That WHOEVER-IT-WAS… She’d give him a piece of her mind if he ever had the misfortune of running into her.
She closes her eyes for a moment, clearly holding something back. How DARE that person. How dare he. She releases another breath and then she reopens her eyes again.]
I… I see.
[Her Meowth begins to wiggle in her arms. Too, tight! Too tight! She glances down at it and immediately loosens her grip and the poor creature relaxes a bit, heaving a couple of heavy breaths.] Sorry, Citrine…
[Another sigh.]
Oh, darling… That is terrible. He must have been a dreadful person and I would… [Temper, Rarity. Mind it, please. She swallows and then clears her throat.] …the important thing is that he didn’t hurt ( ... )

Oh, he was sent back to his world a while ago. But... um... that's not entirely why I'm telling you this.
[Ready for a second trip?]
See, sometimes, people come back to this place... And if he does... I don't want you... I don't want any of you to be mad at him. He's just a young human, and I met him again after he robbed me... I think if I showed him enough kindness, he'd know what he did was wrong, and we could all be friends.
