7th Sapphire Cupcake: [Video | Goldenrod]

[rather_eat_turquoise]

[The feed clicks on to Spike looking really worried, and he's surrounded by Rarity's pokemon.]

Has anypony seen Rarity? She's really pretty, with purple hair, and talks about fashion a lot.

We're staying at Goldenrod Inn together, but I haven't seen her in a couple days, and I've checked all her favourite stores. If you see her...uh...well...I guess that's okay then...tell her Spike's been looking after her pokemon...

[Screened to Pony Cast only]

Twilight? Rainbow Dash? Anypony? I can't find Rarity anywhere. You guys haven't seen her, have you? I haven't seen her since she last went shopping.

[Spike looks like he's about to start crying. He's all alone in a big city in a weird world, and he doesn't know why Rarity's pokemon are crowding around him and looking so sad. He feels really alone right now.]

You..don't think she went home, do you?

It was a while ago--she was talking about how she'd just opened a shop in Goldenrod.

[rather_eat_turquoise]

Yeah, she was really excited about her shop too, and she said she was getting a lot of business.

[Spike looks down sadly.]

She wouldn't just leave it all behind, would she? She's not that kind of pony! She worked so hard...

[video]

[rocketralph]

Y'know, she might nota left on purpose. I had a friend up and disappear too. She went home.

[Spike frowns. He knew that Fluttershy had gone home...just not how it had happened.]

Really? I mean, they don't say goodbye, or take anything with them or anything?

They just...go?

...but how do they get home? Is it like how we just woke up here? Will she ever come back?

[Spike desperately hopes that Rarity did make it back to Ponyville safely.]

_{[Ralph shakes his head.]}

I dunno, she was just gone one morning. My poke'gear said her number didn't even exist. I've been told that's the surefire way to tell if somebody's, 'yknow, gone gone and not just missing.

_{[He scratches the back of his neck again. He's reeeeally not good at the comforting thing. Would Rarity ever come back?]}

Maybe?

[video]

[rather_eat_turquoise]

[That doesn't give Spike much hope, and he looks down at his gear in dismay. He'll be double checking for Rarity's number as soon as he can.]

So...it's like they weren't even here? That's awful.

...but I guess...

If she's back home...

That's better than being trapped here, right?

[Spike's voice is almost pleading, like he's trying to either talk himself into believing it, or seeking confirmation from the big guy.]

[video]

[rocketralph]

Yeah, tell me about it...

She comes from a nice place, though, right?

_{[He sure hopes it's better than that Sugar Rush game the kid told him about.]}
