"simple, yet elegant. it suits you, like the dress" >she smiles and stops in front of you "where are the others?" >"they will be here in 15 minutes..." >she plays with her mane while speaking >you kneel down and pat on her head "hey little one, what's up? you're strange this night" >a cold shiver crawls down your spine and you watch around, you see nothing but the dark town of the night >"we know each other just for... one year right?" "yes, I still remember how you tried to take pictures of my teeth" >she chuckles "and... there is something I have to tell you... I..." >...wait, it's that what you think it is? >"I've fallen for you anon" >this leaves you without words >not that you have never thought to have a pony girlfriend >but the whole being human among ponies... all the differences between you and them kinda torn you down >you are more than welcome, usually. but you can feel to be out of place >in this case... you don't know how to feel "I..." >she add quickly "you don't have to give me an answer now... just... I wanted you to know. and in case it's mutual... you know..." >she taps her hooves together, still red on her cheeks "I...

"no. I didn't. it has been a strange night. what about you instead? the boutique it's far from here miss pommel" >"you can call me just pommel... or coco if you want. I was buying some vegetables and it happens to passing near here on the way back to the boutique" "coco, do you need a gentleman... colt... to accompany you on the boutique?" >you joke and almost start a small laugh but her genuine smile stops you >"yes anon, I'd like it very much" "eeh... let's go then" >you start to walk, she leans close to you with a smile >you could get used to start the day with her smile >"what did you do yesterday night? it seems you didn't rested well" >you shouldn't make her worry "I played with my group of friend mostly, then I studied in my studio" >"why do so? couldn't you just... go to bed?" "I was in the mood, you know. when the creativity hits you, you must sew!" >you emphasize the concept with gestures >but... coco just looks at you. she's smiling but... again her smile seems off >she's cute but at the same time she gives you an odd feeling, then she speak >"can you lift me?" >you can't say no to that face "of course coco, did you take to much groceries?" >"yes... kind of. thanks anon" >you take coco on your arms, petting her on her head >she's light and her saddlebags aren't that packed >less effort from you then >"you haven't had something more last night? unexpected maybe?" >you think back on minuette, and 'that' thing "actually, yes. but it's not something I'm willing to share now" >coco seems satisfies with the answer and place a hoof and her head on your chest "how did you pass the night coco?" >"I... stayed at rarity's house. reading some magazines. it has been a... uneventful night, disappointing." >she stresses the word "disappointing" >"your nights sound more interesting, could I... join them?" "my nights are not different. I spend my time with some friends, studying or play some videogames. not much more" >"friends?" >again, she stresses the word >"just friends? nothing else nor more?" >she pushes the hoof on your chest "why this strange question?" >"well..." >coco blushes and adjusts her mane >"nothing... I'm just worried about you anon... maybe those friends may distract you with your work" "there's nothing wrong with spending time with friends, I'm not a workaholic like rarity" >"yes... but... you should keep those 'friends' at right place. no one need obstacles to his own creativity" "there's nothing that prevent my creativity to be wear on ponies head" >you pet coco and she pushes her muzzle on your hand smiling >... >she's... sniffing your hand... "coco?" >"yes anon?" >she sniffs more and licks a finger >...too lewd. this has to stop. you get back your hand and shake it "coco?! what he fuck!" >she watches you... and for a brief moment, you can see anger on her face, a pair of cold eyes that looks at you with fury >but only for a moment. then coco speaks >"I'm sorry! I'm sorry anon! I didn't mean it! ImsorryImsorryImsorry!" >god... you made coco cry... >everyone in town is watching you! >RUN! TO THE BOUTIQUE! "jesus! dear jesus!" >you're currently collapsed inside the boutique >you shouldn't run with a pony, who had just bought groceries, on your harm for half a town >"I'm so sorry anon...ymous. it's just... happened" "it's... ok. I just need some time to recover" >rarity brings to you a whole pitcher of lemonade >"take this darling, even if... maybe you should see a doctor, that isn't the face of an healthy... man" >you take the pitcher and drink. only to split the lemonade instantly "IT'S SALTY!" >"wha... SWEETIE BELLE!" >you hear an uncontrollable laugh from the kitchen and the heartless filly bursts out the room going upstairs >"come back right now young lady!" >rarity runs after her little sister >you can't have even a minute of rest >coco offers you a bottle of water >it's half empty but you make it suffice, drinking it all "thanks coc..." >she's watching you so concentrate, with that odd smile... "miss pommel?" >"oh... sorry anon... ehm... I will... ehm... I'm going to manage the groceries and take more water for you" >and with that coco walks out, leaving you alone >after a few drinks and an apologize from sweetie belle everything is back to normal >sort of >"well anonymous, do you mind showing me your creations?" >right, your two masterpieces "of course, can you two just stay outside the boutique for 2 minutes? the time to carry the dress and the suit to the studio" >rarity and coco agree and wait for you outside the boutique >you drag the 2 dummies on the studio, proud of what you made >you set the lights and inform the 2 mares to come back >you struck a pose, and reveal the 2 dresses >coco seems really exited but rarity... >she's quiet. walks around the dress and checks the fabrics. >she adjusts her glasses and inspects the seam of the suit >this make you feel uncomfortable >...it's not good enough? it's too modern? isn't enough? >you should have use more bright color! you should have knew it! >after a closer inspection, she takes off the glasses >"anon..." >you freeze, waiting for the results >"I'm impressed. those are your best well made dresses you made so far, and they're simply divine. at this point you could start your own boutique, do I need to worry about competitors now?" >you jump on the air smiling >both coco and rarity start laughing and you hug them >"my my, remember that you're still at work am I'm still your boss" "I'm sorry rarity, I got carried away" >you let the poor mares down... or try to do so >coco remains stuck on your waist "ehm... miss pommel, we can split up now" >she seems to... grumble a little before releases you >"oh sorry... I'm just so happy for you. I know ALL the hard work you put in them" "thanks miss pommel, your and rarity's recognition means a lot to me" >"darling, they're beautiful. I would have no problem if you want to sell them in my boutique if you want" >"I'LL HAVE THEM!" >both you and rarity watch to coco. that's the first time you hear her yelling >"oh.. I mean... I'd like to have them. I can buy them too. they're so beautiful..." >"well pommel, it's up to our kind and talented anonymous" "no problem for me, I'll give to you miss. you don't need to pay me" >you start to fold the dresses and pack them >rarity turns the sight of the boutique >"now that this is settled, we can go back to work, don't we?" >the morning and afternoon are quiet. rarity has given you more responsibilities. and coco seems very affectionate... maybe too much >but she's so cute that you don't question it >just before the closing of the boutique, a couple enter in the boutique >mr and mrs rich >"rarity? rarity?" >they seem... strange. usually they're calm, well dressed and a bit... proud >now you see a couple of dirty and nervous pony, with begging eyes >rarity and you quickly run to them >"what's happened? you two are in horrible condition" >"our daughter! did you see her? diamond tiara is missing and we can't find her! we asked her friends but none of them could help us!" >she has friends?! "eeh... tell us everything sir!" >"after we left the boutique we returned home. then she said she was going in the park to play with silver spoon but she didn't return home!" >mrs rich continues "we have asked silver spoon and said she saw tiara and the new tailor from the carousel boutique go together" >rarity responds "yes, I asked my colleague to bring her the hat that she forgot here. pommel? can you come here please?" >only now coco exits the studio and come to the hall, seems... annoyed? >"did you hear? tiara is missing! where did she go after you returned the hat?" >coco hesitates before speaking >"I... don't know. I give her the cloche and went to the sugarcube corner. she didn't tell me where she was going" "crap... shouldn't we call princess twilight? did you asked the guards about this?" >"of course! but they're already at work with a case of abandoned animals near the bank" >the situation is getting spooky "let's go to the princess, she may know what to do" >you're about to leave the boutique but something pulls your suit >watching back you see coco and... oh god. she's scared... and watches you with puppy eyes >"stay here..." >your heart hurts >you watch rarity >"stay here with pommel darling, I'll go to the friendship castle with them" >then, she and the rich family walk out the boutique "I din't know this kind of thing could happens here in equestria" >coco grabs your hand, scared "don't worry miss pommel, I'm here to protect you" >you lift coco and walk on the couch, petting her "it's all... well. of course not. a kid just disappeared" >this hits her really hard, she must be terrified >you spend 20 minutes reassuring coco >"I'm... ok anonymous..." >she's shaking, poof mare. she's trying to be strong >"I'll... go home now. to rarity's home..." >you place her on the couch "do you need anything?" >"no anonymous, I'm ok" >she smiles at you, but you can tell she's still worried >you stand up, but coco pull again your suit >"I've... change my mind... can I stay with you this night?" >you can't say no to those puppy eyes "of course, I do have a spare room" >"I know anon, wait me to the door" >she leaves you to go upstairs >you go to the door and wait for her "...wait, she know?" >after 5 minutes she returns >"I'm ready anon, we can go" >you accompany her to your house >on halfway there you see minuette and wave at her "hi minuette!" >she notices and come to you and coco >as she come more close you start to feel the "thing" that you felt yesterday >"hi anon, who's there? a new friend?"

I'm very happy to know you like them" >man... you feel almost sorry for her >"I worked so hard to make those... for our night" >she walks closet to you >"I can teach you everything. in no time, you'll be better than me" >"I'll teach you everything... and you will be able to sew better clothing that those" >she stand on 2 legs and hugs you >"I love you anon.

"what about a stroll?" >good, this will force her to be away from the storage room >"I was thinking something different" >she tighten the hug "b-but is such a good day, we could go to the park and... ehm... to visit rarity" >she instantly changes tone >"and what do you need from rarity?" "ehm... since she has already been at the gala maybe she could give us some advices" >"that's a wonderful idea anon, I'll go to the boutique this afternoon" "can't I be with you?" >she chuckles >"you don't need to see rarity anon, I can do it all by myself. beside you will be at button's house, am I right?" "yes, you're right... are we still going to make this stroll?" >she releases the hug and walks out your studio >"of course anon, anything you want. I had others plans in mind but... they're not important... anymore" >following her you hope that for her "important plans" does not involve torturing or killing minuette, but as long as you'll make her stay away from your storage room you should be fine "it's... been a while since I went out the last time... a bit less than a week?" >"a bit yes, but you don't need to go out" >you want to ask her why but you already know that questioning her may result in some deep cuts >you two walk out your house and go toward the park >a small pedestal has been build next to the entrance of the recreation ground "what is that? it wasn't there few days ago?" >"I don't know" >you walk to the pedestal, on top of it there is an open book made of granite with bronze text >you read the text "In memory of my only daughter diamond tiara" >"nothing worth stop our stroll anon, let's continue" >coco pulls you closer and resumes walking with you by her side "It's still missing? wow... I don't... know what to say" >coco answer you coldly... yet... pleased >"there are no clues about what happen to her. the guards are still researching though. I don't think they will be able to find her" "you..." >she just doesn't seems to care about her, should you talk? better no >"yes, my love?" >wasn't she scared when you two heard the news? >sure now you know what she's capable but... >if only who took tiara could also take coco away from you >"anon, what's wrong?" "aren't you scared? I mean..." >coco stops walking and... >she start to laugh >"hahaha anon, hahaha" >she can't contain herself >"HAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA" >you step back at her outburst >"anon, you're so cute... and caring..." >"I love you, you know?" "...yes...I do..." >she rejoins you and continue to walk >"I'm so happy you are worrying for me. but you don't need to. I'll be with you forever" >is exactly that thing that makes you worry >"everyone will quickly forget about diamond tiara, it will last at most 2 weeks. I hope less" >"anon!!" >you hear a familiar voice calling you, turning you see a yellow coated mare with a light blue mane "l-lemon? what are you doing here?" >she approaches the two of you, taking a fast glance at coco she seems very annoyed >"do you know her anon? who is this mare" "she's a friend of moondancer. hi lemon hearts, did-" >oowww... hold it. you almost let out that you know about moondancer condition "what brings you at ponyville?" >"what don't you know?" >play it cook "about what?" >coco speak up >"about nothing. listen lemon hearts. me and anon are having a very good time.could you let us enjoy this moment?" >lemon looks at both of you >"anon? who is this cocky mare?"

I want to hug you. do you know how much I love you?" >you slowly come closer to her >"quickly!" >you scramble to get to her hooves, scared to be stabbed with the machete if you not >she hugs you tightly >"see, I'm not hurting you. I'm not mad or anything. just answer me... do you like her?" >you feel the tip of the machete poking your back "o-o-of c-course not. I like only you coco. you're my marefriend, my lover" >she smiles more and holds your face >"that my anon. I knew it of course. I just needed to make sure. you know that I did it just for you?" >"you don't need her, she's just a mere distraction. the only mare that you need, is me, am I right?" "of course coco" >someone, anyone, please save me >"now... what about having a good meal? I'm sure you're hungry" "well... I'm not but..." >"you ARE hungry anon, I know. you don't need to show strength for me" "...yes I am, where are we going to eat? to the last restaurant we have been?" >she helps you getting on your feet >"we can't go there, but we will find something to eat" "the sugarcube corner?" >coco seems to think about something >"yes, that will do it. it's more close to the boutique after all" >you and coco go to the sugarcube corner >maybe if someone there see your condition they'll help you >damn, you don't want to spend others minutes with her >but you can't escape, and coco doesn't allow you to speak with anyone >probably you have only button and the princesses at the gala to help you >"anon? can you answer me?" "w-what?" >"I asked you what did you want" "ehm... a krapfen, and coffee" >"the same for me, thanks" >mr cake thank you and go to fetch your meal, you and coco sit to a table >"how much time will you spend to button?" >is she going to wait you outside? "I... don't know. I just wanted to talk and, if I'll have the time, play with him" >"so... are 10 minute enough?" "I... don't think so. you know... we haven't met in a long time..." >coco stares at you, both dissatisfied and dangerous >"here's your meal love birds" >ms cake hands out your ordination, you and coco greet him with a smile >"well... maybe I could let you there for 20 minutes or so..." "will you stay outside button's house?" >both you and coco start eating >"I thought so but... now I remember to have something to do" "today? what is it?" >coco chuckles >"just some minor preparations for our night at the gala, furthermore I'll go to rarity" "and I?" >"you just stay with button, you don't need to see rarity" >is she going to do something to rarity? you hope not. but after this she'll be caught for sure "ehm... ok then" >"I'm going to pick you up after 30-40 minutes" >that's more time you were hoping for >you'll be able to go to the guards yourself "thank you coco" >"your're welcome anon" >you two finish your lunch and go to button house >button's mother shouldn't be at home >you ring the bell and wait for someone to shows up >fortunately button open the door >"anon! you get better!" "sure button" >you watch coco hopefully >"go ahead anon, I'll return in 40 minutes" >with that she walks off >you steps inside button house and close the door >"anon? what are you doing?" >you watch through the windows, making sure coco is gone "is your mother home?" >"no, she's at work" "good. listen button, I want you to make something for me" >"you want my joyboy, don't you?" "no listen please, I don't have much time.

"do you know that pony that was with me?" >"no, she's cute though" "she's not what she seems. she's not. not let your mother stay here. second, if coco shows up early, tell she I'm in the bathroom because I had stomach ache" >button looks at you worried >"ok... that's not a problem. why all this?" "did you see moondancer or colgate?" >"yes, I went to the hospital a couple of days ago to see moondancer" "minuette is there too, when I'll return home, you have to go the hospital and stay with minuette. when she wakes up, you have to bring the guards to her ok?" >"but I have homeworks to do" "don't lie, you don't do homeworks" >he chuckles >"seriously, what's happening? why minuette is at the hospital? and why are you... so pale" "minuette will explain everything, but the guards must be to her as fast as possible ok?" >"but... aren't you going to the guards now? you could just bring them to the hospital yourself" "I cant, I have to remain with coco. just... do this for me ok?" >"...ok..." "good boy. now cover me" >you rush out button's house and run to the nearest guards patrol station >15 minute, damn >you walks inside there is just an officer and two office manager "where are all the guards?" >the officer trots in front of you >"busy, three missing pony and two murder in just one week" "b-but I need help, there is a pony that harass me and other ponies" >"sorry human, I don't have the resources right now. fill the paper and we'll deal with it as soon as we can" >he hands you a document >damn, you expected they would be busy but that much?
