OK, so this is an old story now, but I've been meaning to write it up for some time.
Back in October last year, all the ponies were very excited. They knew that one of them was to be chosen to go to the PONYCON '06, and be entered into the Prettiest Pony Contest, but who would be the lucky pony.
One of the shyest ponies, Rarity, was shocked when she was chosen. She had only arrived at the Rescue Home a short while before, when she had been especially bought from a TRU in America, and shipped over by Derfyslove.
She had her mane and tail braided and tied with pretty ribbons, and soon she was the belle of the Rescue Home. The ponies chattered excitedly. Surely, she would have to win?
Come the day of the PONYCON, Rarity was picked up and taken to the car for the long drive to Birmingham. She sat on Desiree's lap the whole way, and had the ends of her mane brushed until they shone. Upon arrival, she was entered into the competition, amongst lots of really pretty ponies. Now she was not so sure that she could do it. There was a Silly Sunshine, with beautifully curly hair, and a Baby Waddles with a mohawk... How could she ever compete?
She watched with interest as Desiree walked around the hall, chatting to everyone she'd heard about from the intenet forums. The comings and goings were fascinating! She had a prime spot for the raffle, and many people commented on her beauty as they walked by.
All too soon came the end of the day, and the grand judging. Third place was announced first, but it wasn't her. Then second place - that went to one of the prettiest ponies there, and Rarity realised there was no chance of her getting a rosette that day. Still, she had had fun...
"And first place," Kimba read out, reaching for one of the ponies from the table. Rarity's heart pounded, and Desiree chewed her fingernail nervously on the other side of the room. "Goes to..."
The whole room went silent, waiting for an answer.
"Er, who is this pony?" The Con staff began a debate which seemed to Desiree and Rarity to last for hours!
"First place goes to..." Kimba finally spoke again. She reached out and held up the winner in her hand, but Desiree could not see who it was. "...the little pink unicorn! Who does this pony belong to?"
"That would be my Rarity!" Desiree jumped up, and walked across the room. She hugged the little unicorn, and accepted her rosette and prizes a plush donkey, and Pinkie Pie lip balm, happily.
"I knew you could do it, Rarity!" Desiree smiled, once they got home, and all of the MLP's agreed that she was truly deserving of her prize, and that Rarity was the prettiest pony in the universe!
