A rarity of a challenge · 1:35am Apr 27th, 2022
“I think I’m in love with you.”
Rarity nodded in silence at Twilight’s declaration, the rosy aura wrapping her visage seemingly transparent juxtaposed to the plump tomato atop Twilight’s neck. She pursed her lips, drawing out a long pause, terminated only by a muffle. “Hm.”
Yet Twilight grew only redder by the minute, from blush or desperation alike. “Hm?” she repeated, choking out her words. “Are you…” she uttered, her voice trailing off into silence as her irises dilated. “Are you mad at me? Or uncomfortable with me? I’m so sorry, I shouldn’t have said anything,” she quickly tagged on. “I’m a terrible pony for having–”
“–Darling.” Rarity interrupted with a small warm smile, with a subtle press of her hoof under Twilight’s chin. “I assure you none of the above are true.”
“No?” Twilight shut her eyes. “Then what was ‘hm’ about? I’m sorry, I really… Um…” She hesitated. “I’m sorry, I interrupted. I should let you speak.”
Rarity shook her head. “That’s quite alright. No, I am neither upset nor uncomfortable, but merely in great debate with myself.”
“Debate?” Twilight scrunched up her muzzle. “Debate over what?”
“Debate” Rarity grinned, eyebrows sinister. “Over whether or not I should give you…”
“Give me…”
“The key to my heart!” Her words reverberated the words in an amorous explosion. “You see, Twilight, on the one hoof, but on the other hoof, but then again, although to be fair… you see the dilemma?”
“No.”
“That’s quite alright.” Rarity paused, closing her eyes, inhaling, exhaling, and reopening. “Very well. I shall give you the key, but you must earn it.”
“Earn it?” Twilight’s ears flopped down. “Earn it how? Are you a princess, and I have to fight an evil villain and save you after you were kidnapped?”
Rarity raised an eyebrow. “I am a princess, thank you very much, and that is key, but no, this isn’t some Daring Do fanfiction.”
“Oh.” Twilight frowned. “Do I have to make you a dress as beautiful as you are to me?”
Rarity giggled. “Charming, but don’t be ridiculous. Love is serious business, so you must win in the most serious of all pursuits.”
“Trivia?”
“No.”
“Magic?”
“Neigh.”
“…Friendship?”
“Afraid not, and you’re not getting any closer.”
Twilight grimaced. “Rarity, what could possibly be more important than trivia, magic, and friendship? What could possibly gift me your heart?”
Rarity squinted her eyes.
“Puns!”
..she said with a sparkle in her eye.
"If you do not comply with my request, I will not hesitate to sue you."
"How can you say that?"
"I am Rarity Belle, a Lady Fit For Royalties!"

This was the beginning of a fic I started before the pandemic, spurring from a conversation with Nonnie. Never got further than this, it lay about in my fic graveyard... A few nights ago Nonnie and I were talking about our respective unfinished fics and I came across this, and figured the fimfic blog was as good a place as any~
I believe "a Lady Fit For Royalties" was Nonnie's work too.
