rarity falls for the mysterious prince

's commission

EDIT****
Commission request :
Alright, my commission, should you choose to accept it, involved Twilight Sparkle, Rarity and a gendershifted Princess Luna. The scene occurs after Princess Luna, who had a little embarrassing incident at Canterlot Castle, snuck into Twilight Sparkle's home in order to convince her to cast a transformation spell so she could live 'under the radar' in Ponyville for a while. The spell... sortof succeeds - she is still very recognizable as a dark alicorn - just a sleek, mysterious male one.

*story
The familiar rhythmic rattle of the sewing machine echoed rapid counterpoint to the steady ticking of the clock, a symphony of clicks both entrancing and horrifyingly boring. Rarity, caught in thoughts that drew her attention to places far from her art, never even noticed. The last few days’d been quite the distraction, first the artistic effort of crafting her purple unicorn friend a suitable pyjama for a Canterlot slumber party - and now Twilight Sparkle’s mysterious behavior since her return to Ponyville. Oh, but Twilight wasn’t as good at keeping secrets as she thought she was; Rarity recognized well enough that saucy little extra sway to the bookworm’s hips. There was no doubt of it in the fashionista’s mind: Twilight Sparkle had found herself a coltfriend.

Now, she was well aware it was impolite to spy, but it wouldn’t be inappropriate for the hard-working unicorn to just happen to be sitting at the window that gave the best view of Twilight Sparkle’s library home, now would it?

And perhaps... perhaps she would just happen to glance in that old tree’s direction when Twilight Sparkle’s suitor came knocking.

But for days, naught hide nor hair was seen other than the occasional guest to the library. No mysterious strangers, no furtive glances. The increasingly dreary days of fall left the dirt outside a muddy mess, and there hadn’t been a single guest to the library today. With a sigh, Rarity set her work aside and walked to the window, magic blossoming from her horn to grasp and close the curtains. “Perhaps I was wrong. For all I know, she was simply excited over some old book she found.”

That’s when the library door opened; A dark, masculine snout appeared first, led only by an impressive length of fluted horn and followed by a luxurious, flowing mane. Rarity’s mouth fell open at the sight, “Oh dear. Is that..? Could that be..? Oh my, Twilight sure knows how to pick them. That’s quite an impressive specimen of-” Powerful, yet well-kept hooves stepped out onto the dirt, and turned with precise steps to expose the little bookworm following him. A wing, feathers gleaming like polished blue velvet, swept out to gently bring the librarian to a halt before she stepped in a mud-puddle.

“- a-alicorn? R-royal blood? T-true royal blood? Why didn’t I know about this? W-why wasn’t I informed?!”

For a moment, the stallion spoke to his unicorn companion, too far away for Rarity to make out, and stepped into the puddle. Sweeping out his wings wide, he lowered them until their edges lay on dry land. Twilight hesitated, but took her next stride onto the silken feathers. Muscles flexed and rolled under the stallion’s skin to catch the sudden weight, but his wings barely trembled as Twilight Sparkle made her way across the feathered bridge, and to the other end of the puddle.

“So... so chivalrous. It’s...” Rarity’s eyes widened and shone brighter with every one of Twilight Sparkle’s steps, until the purple unicorn finally met dry ground, and turned to meet the alicorn’s graceful bow. “H-how - I -” A familiar light-headedness swept in and drew the strength from her legs. For a moment, all went black, but determination and more than a hint of anger sent new power to her limbs. “H-how could she? How could she keep a treasure like that for herself? She knows it’s my dream to marry a stallion like- No! No time to swoon again! As Celestia is my witness, I, Rarity, will not squander this chance!”
