"Are you girls sure it is not far? I don't want to leave my bike for long." Henry said as he exited the mall with the CMC next to him, it was surprising that they were called the Cutie Mark Crusaders here too.
Though they are a band instead of cutie mark explorers as cutie marks don't exist here obviously.
"No, not really it is just a block away." Answered Sweetie Bell.
"You have a bike!? Where is it!?" Called out Scootaloo, with clear excitement that it might have been unbelievable to anyone that she just survived a crash from a billboard with a smiley face on it.
But it was good that she had this mentality. In fact, all of them did.
'Heh, kids.'
"Mm-hmm, it is that one over there." Henry pointed over from their position.
"Wow! That is so cool! Can I have a ride please!?" She turned towards him after seeing the beauty of the vehicle and longed for a joy ride, the bright and sparkly look in her purple eyes was adorable.
"Me too, can ah have a ride too Henry?" Apple Bloom tugged his shirt as she asked as well, he looked at her large eyes then turned towards Sweetie Bell that also had the same pleading look in her eyes.
"Haha! Okay, girls, I will give each of you a ride I promise, now can we go to Sweetie Belle's sister so she helps me get a new shirt and jacket first before we decide on anything else, okay?" Said Henry, stating that they had a matter that needed attention first.
"Okay." They once more said at the same time.
Sweetie Belle had indeed offered to take him to her sister's Boutique, but before they could leave they had to answer a few questions from the officers and security of the place.
Of course, the girls stuck to him like cubs to their, well, lion.
Leaving the mall, he was congratulated and called a hero, a title he didn't bother with at all and now they were walking towards Rarity's place, he didn't take off the clothes that had been torn and can't walk around bare-chested in the street, not only would that be a crime, it was also uncomfortable for him as he was not an exhibitionist.
'Hmm, maybe I can order new clothes from Rarity. Her work in the show was pretty great.' He thought.
"Here we are!" Said Sweetie Belle with clear excitement as she pushed the door open and was followed by her two friends and Henry.
"Rarity! We need your help!" She shouted at the top of her little lungs immediately. Then there were crushing sounds inside one of the rooms upstairs.
'Wow! For a little girl, she has powerful lungs, and that must be Rarity that must have been suddenly startled by that yell.'
"Oh! My stars, Sweetie Belle! Hang on a minute I'll be there soon dear!" The same accented but more mature voice than Sweetie Bells replied.
"Sweetie Belle, did you have to scream?" Henry asked with a smile as he patted her head, to which he earned an embarrassed giggle.
"Sorry." She answered as she enjoyed the head pat much to the envy of her friends.
Shaking his head, Henry stopped as he gazed around the place.
And indeed the clothes in this place are beautiful and well made. With time this girl can become a world-class fashion designer, no doubt.
Soon Henry could hear footsteps coming down followed by the voice he heard earlier,
"Sweetie Belle, what is that you need help with I was deep in concentration as inspira… Eh?"
Henry turned the moment she first spoke to get a first a clear look at her, everything was different from the show here.
She was beautiful in the shows, even the pony version, as he would hear from his brony friend that she was in the top 10 beautiful females even as a pony.
And she was indeed gorgeous, that dark indigo long hair that reached the middle of her back, the moderate azure blue eyes as well as blue eye shadow and pale white complexion that was almost as if she had no blood in her body made her look charming and elegant with her outfit, but her figure was simply sexy with her E cup sized bust and large hips.
After gazing at her figure with pure admiration, he looked back into her lovely eyes with a gentle smile. And then switched to the empathic senses as he could hear her heartbeat loudly in her chest from where he stood.
'Excitement, nervousness, joy, confusion, and a hint of lust, hmm, I have noticed that this lust I pick up means she is interested in me; sexually too.' He thought as he decided to get closer to her and so he did, once he was close to her he took her soft almost boneless hand and gave it a gentle kiss.
"You must be Rarity, my lady your name fits you perfectly in both beauty and talent. A pleasure to meet your acquaintance." He said with a charming smile, as her face turned as red as Apple Bloom's hair and, well, she fainted.
Catching her quickly in his arms he looked at the three that gazed at him with wide eyes.
"Hmm, guess I went a little overboard with my greeting." He muttered calmly as he placed her on the nearby sofa.
Feeling her pulse, he knew she would wake up soon and she did.
Standing up to give her room, the first person or people she saw were the little three who were by her side.
"Mmm... ? Oh? Sweetie Belle? I had the most amazing dream about this otherworldly handsome man in torn clothes that couldn't diminish his elegance one bit but made him look like a roguishly handsome prince that had to hide his identity from the world. And he came to me for help to keep his secrets." Soon she dove deeper into her delusions.
The CMC just looked at her with deadpan expressions at this, Sweetie Bell looked up behind her.
"You have to forgive my big sis, Henry, those romance novels she reads often get to her. But she is really nice." Sweetie Belle said with a cute sigh while her two friends knew their friend's elder sister was a drama queen so they just nodded.
This made Rarity snap out of her mind and freeze as she soon heard the voice from her 'dream' speak beside her.
"It is no problem, though it is the first time anyone had called me all those titles, it is pretty nice and I know she is very nice as she raised you after all. Besides I find her very charming."
The voice, and the words, all hit Rarity's heart like sledgehammers. Slowly turning her head, she came face to face with that face that seemed to look even better the second time she saw it.
Henry looked at her with a smile and spoke, "Now about the torn clothes, it is the reason these three little cuties brought me here. Can you help me?"
This brought her mind and eyes to the request as she looked at his ripped shirt, "Ah! Sorry for embarrassing myself earlier, and yes I can very much help you and get you a new pair. But if you don't mind me asking, what happened to these ones?"
Her question was immediately answered by a cacophony of voices that tried to talk over each other very quickly, the CMC seemed very eager to tell the tale that they spoke over each other, and Rarity could barely understand what they were saying at all.
So she almost drowned in this she had to ask quiet them, so she yelled,
"Girls! Please, one at a time!"
They froze for a moment at her outburst and began to talk slowly, each one putting in their part, Rarity was shocked beyond words
She then turned to the three and pulled them in a tight grip as tears fell from her face the little ones had tears in their eyes but didn't cry this time, just sniffled.
Soon they released each other and turned towards Henry, Rarity looked at Henry with a kinder and gentler look as well as strange light that shone in her beautiful eyes.
Henry just smiled as he watched all this, "Now that that is out of the way, can we get to me getting new clothes please?"
But all he got instead was a light hug from Rarity, he saw it coming but let it be as her emotions were in turmoil at what she heard. Shaking his head with a small smile he patted her soft back and hair as he felt her bountiful and soft chest pressed against his own
"Thank you, thank you! So very much Henry for saving my little sister and her friends." Rarity spoke with a trembling voice as she gripped him tightly with surprising strength that her supple arms shouldn't have.
"I was close and have the strength, so it was only natural, not to mention that it is anyone's duty to save those three little cuties from danger." He said softly as he continued to pat her as she trembled in his arms.
Letting her go, she wiped away her tears and looked down with a cute blush on her ears. She then looked up at him again.
"I have decided to make all your clothes for free as thanks."
