[CLOSED] And Magic Makes it All Complete

[therarestgem]

Who: Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Spike
When: Saturday, October 8th
Where: Rose District
What: Rarity and Twilight have a reunion! And after Rarity tells Twilight the horrors of the island, they go look for Spike.



Rarity wasted no time, she hadn't even bothered commenting to the post her friend made on the Network. As soon as she saw that, she had just darted off in search for Twilight Sparkle. Of course, by doing that, it took Rarity forever to find her. She ran through each District blindly, bursting through doors and calling her friend's name.

At last, Rarity came to the Rose District.

"Twilight? Twilight, where are you?" Her voice rang throughout the streets. It was probably annoying to many of the citizens, but Rarity didn't care about that. She was focused!

Comments

And of course, Twilight easily recognized that voice. It wasn't hard recognizing it and once she heard it, Twilight bolted out of her house to meet her dear fellow unicorn and best friend.

"Rarity! I'm right here, Rarity!"

[therarestgem]

How perfect! Rarity would not have to invade houses anymore, which was rude and she knew that. She had just been so excited to hear that her friend was on the island. At the same time, knowing that, she worried for Twilight's safety. Nonetheless, Rarity greeted the other with a big hug and then loud sobbing.

"O-oh, Twilight! I-i-i-t really is y-youuuuuu!"

[magicalrealist]

The hug and sudden sobbing admittedly catches Twilight off-guard, but she's not one to push a pony away because of that. Especially not Rarity. As such, she happily returns the hug as she tries to comfort her fellow unicorn.

"Y-yeah, it's really me, Rarity...have you been here for that long?"

[therarestgem]

Rarity nodded and pulled away, wiping the tears from her eyes. She had to be strong for Twilight. After all, she was here first, and she knew the rules. "Oh, yes! It's been just awful! They took my magic and my Cutie Mark, tortured me with little monsters... It's worse than anything we've ever encountered! These evil people even killed me, and others, and then brought us back to life...!"

Thankfully, because of the last ordeal, Rarity had gotten the Cutie Mark back. But it had still been a traumatic experience for her.

[magicalrealist]

"Killed you...? But..."

Wow, this was much worse than Twilight expected. She could only imagine all of the horrors Rarity must've went through. Yeah, there's a lot more concern on Twilight's face right now.

"I'm...I'm so sorry, Rarity. I should've learned about this place sooner..."

[therarestgem]

Oh, maybe it wasn't a good idea to tell Twilight all of that at once. Still, Rarity thought it was better to put these things up front rather than sugarcoat them. With the two of them working together, perhaps things could be better for them.

...That is when Rarity noticed. Still sniffling, she pointed her hoof to Twilight's head. "Good heavens, darling? Where is your horn?"

[magicalrealist]

Sure it was hard to take now, but it would've been worse if it was put off or sugarcoated. Twilight wanted to know the direct truth, anyway.

And after looking up at where her horn should be, Twi sighed. "This place took it away from me; it wanted to make me a magician and took away my horn...it's stupid.

They didn't take away yours?"

[therarestgem]

Rarity shook her head. "My magic was taken from me when I got here, but I still had my horn. The awful Rulers took way my cutie Mark, but I was able to get it back." She nuzzled Twilight comfortingly. She had gone through some rough times, but at least she still had her horn. "Everything they do doesn't make sense. It's positively maddening. Thank goodness for the friends I've made while being here!"

[therarestgem]

"You didn't know?" Rarity asked as she raised an eyebrow. And then she thought it was a stupid question to ask, because Twilight had just gotten here. Of course she wouldn't know. "He's been going around, trying to get everypony to sign a petition to take to the Rulers."

[magicalrealist]

"I haven't seen him yet, but it's great to hear he's okay."

Then again, Rarity was okay and she endured...quite a lot. And since he's pretty much Twilight's unofficial little brother, she has to be protective of him.

"He is okay...right?"

[therarestgem]

"For now, I suppose," Rarity replied. "I've been keeping an eye on him. Though I haven't seen him for a few days." Which may have been odd in itself, considering Spike attached himself to rarity whenever he could.

[magicalrealist]

"Days...?" That's clearly something Twi didn't want to hear. Sure, he went on his own when he had that problem with self-identity and took care of himself well enough, but he was being followed at the time! This...she could only hope he wasn't really on his own.

"I hope he's alright; things didn't go well the last time he went out on his own."

[therarestgem]

"I don't think he's gone anywhere," Rarity admitted. She felt bad about losing him, particularly now that Twilight was here. "It's just been so trying lately. Maybe he is resting, or staying low."

[magicalrealist]

"I hope so; there's only so much the little guy can take before he needs help..."

This was definitely a problem. Spike going missing? On any other occasion, Twilight would've dropped everything to go out and get him, but here, it looked like Rarity needed just as much saving as Spike did.

As such, she offered her another, more sincere hug. "Don't worry, Rarity; we'll find him together. I know we will."

[therarestgem]

Rarity was so grateful she had friends here. New friends, friends from home, people and ponies (and dragons) to support her. She hugged Twilight Sparkle back tightly.

"He can't be too far," she nodded. Unless the Rulers got him, went unsaid. Though that was the last option Rarity wanted to think about right now. She was trying to enjoy the other pony's company. "He could be reading or talking to the others."

[dragondictation]

Spike had been keeping himself pretty busy with his petition. It seemed like a neverending task what with new people showing up all the time, but he definitely wanted to get as many opinions as possible, if even they didn't have many personal experiences in this place just yet. Sometimes the task proved difficult as well, seeing as the others were equally busy with their own projects and often couldn't be found at all. It was pretty weird, but he didn't think too much of it.

But it was usually around this time of day that he started feeling rather tired, and so he found a comfortable corner in the Rose District beside some nice bushes and thought to rest his eyes for juuuust a moment... which turned into an impromptu nap, his scroll tucked underneath his head as a pillow.

1/4

[magicalrealist]

It was a rough day, going through every inch of the island in search of the baby dragon. Twilight was getting tired; it showed, but she definitely wasn't going to give up hope so quickly. There were plenty of other places to search, but trotting through her district made her wonder if she should call it a day and try again tomorrow...

2/4

[magicalrealist]

...but then she heard it.

[magicalrealist]

...That familiar snoring!

4/4

[magicalrealist]

It didn't take very long for Twilight to track it down to the snoozing little dragon. Looks like he had a really busy day, too. As much as she wanted to hug Spike, she restrained herself; he always got cranky when his naps were interrupted. Still, she couldn't leave him outside...

"Hey Rarity, can you help me carry him inside?"

[therarestgem]

Ah, at last. Rarity heard the snoring, too. She was glad to see him again because she had been worried. It seemed that Spike had taken things into his own claws. He wouldn't have to do everything alone anymore.

"Of course," she whispered, smiling fondly at the slumbering dragon. "He's really brave for standing up against those Rulers." Rarity bent down and gently lifted him to get him on Twilight's back. She was moving very slowly and trying not to wake him.

[magicalrealist]

"He's the bravest dragon I know."

Twilight assisted as best as she could, walking very slowly once Spike was on her back. She'd place him on her bed once they get back to her home; there'd be plenty to talk about once he finally woke up, but until then, she'd let him snooze away.

Eventually, they make it back to Twilight's house and, just as planned, she slowly lets him down on to the bed, making sure he's comfortably under the covers.

"I think now's a good time tea, don't you? It'll be nice to finally take a breather and settle down for the day."

[therarestgem]

"Tea sounds wonderful," Rarity said. She took one more look at Spike before turning to Twilight Sparkle. Now they could breathe a small sigh of relief. Certainly, it would not be the last hardship they had, but they were all together now. Perhaps it would be a good idea to not let Spike out of their sight. "We can conjure up and tea we want, here."

[magicalrealist]

Oh, keeping Spike close by would definitely be one of Twilight's highest priorities. He's a brave dragon, sure, but he has a nose for trouble. At least he was here now.

"We can? But we don't have any of our magic here...how can we do that?"

[therarestgem]

"It's not our magic," Rarity replied a bit sadly. She hated to admit that there were some good things about this place. After all, she met people who loved fashion as much as she did, and she was able to make anything she wanted appear out of thin air, which was something she could not do even at home.

She closed her eyes and thought of camomile tea, and a small box of it appeared on the counter. "Anything you want, within reason, is given to you. Blankets, books, food..."
