Where last this humble author left off, the persuasion to Rarity as best pony was going swimmingly. Now to hit home without any shadow of doubt that Rarity is best pony. Again, you are wholly wrong to believe otherwise and why not use the elements that make up the characters as the basis for another argument?
Rarity is the element of generosity and none of the others compare to this. What is more noble to give without expecting anything in return? To freely give of yourself, your possessions, your time only to aid your friends and even strangers? This essay has already touched upon what Rarity did early on with Twilight, the sea-dragon, but lest we forget Rarity putting up with all her friend's outrageous demands over their perfect dresses. Her designs were simple yet elegant while her friends demanded outrageous changes that served to only ruin it all. Did Rarity snap back? Absolutely not! She, while begrudgingly, allowed the dresses to be ruined because that's what her friends wanted. To give freely and without expecting anything in return is far more noble and worthwhile than being kind or loyal.
What good is loyalty or honesty when there is nothing to back it up? A scenario: You have to get somewhere rather quickly and ask a friend for a ride. One agrees to bike with you, but that takes too much time. Another says, "that's nice." A third declines honestly. Another just laughs, the fifth magics something. Only does the last show up with a car offering to drive and even get you some lunch afterwards. Now, I ask you, which friend came through with flying colors? Again, loyalty and honesty are noble qualities, but there is little worth in them without anything substantial to back them up. Rarity embodies the element most noble of the six elements--this author will allow the reader to draw their own conclusions on which pony is superior.
Some could, and most certainty would, say that is in fact a determent to Rarity as it turns her into a materialistic character, one whose entire life is ruled by possessions with little concern for anything with real 'substantial depth'. To believe this is only naivety in the extreme. Honesty, loyalty, kindness are great things, but the world is not a storybook with happy endings at all times. Sometimes, the noble qualities of character mean little when faced with the realities of life. In "In Suited for Success", Applejack mentioned she was planning on heading to the Gala dressed in simple 'work-duds' to which Rarity insisted on making her a new outfit that would shine at the event. What if Rarity shrugged it off and let it go? There is a certain beauty in simplicity as this author is want to say a great many times--it's a quality of AJ that I enjoy to a great deal even--, but to look the fool is never something to admire. At a party of the elite and influential, 'work-duds' would be laughable and something to bemoan; AJ's honesty would have held little sway at the event. Only Rarity's generosity saved her that scorn. Only her possessions of cloth and faux-leather made AJ shine at an event of the bourgeois and petty-bourgeois.
The world is a materialistic one--both here in reality and in the land of Equestria. They don't, and we don't, live in a Utopia as envisioned by Thomas More or Karl Marx. To possess things is to live in the real world and to think that owning things and putting some importance on them is foolish is more laughable than writing a short essay on a cartoon pony...wait.

“Who the hell is this kid?” Ray asked as a general question, starring down at the red headed boy in front of him who glared back with emerald green eyes.
“Why don’t you try asking me what my name is?” He demanded.
“Oi! They make them so feisty now a days.” John commented to one in particular, “Especially the short ones.”
“I thought we were supposed to be meeting someone who belongs to a shipping that the author just found out about.” Cody said, “It can’t be this kid, can it?”

Reinvention : Resonance
Underneath the brow of waking, it seeps through the barriers of frost. First light of day, last light of sleep, as dream patterns its end onto the path of a passing disturbance. We are quieted by the traffic of strangers in commute, the static of brain waves misconceived upon our wake. Disaffected rubble of recognition falters across the cold aperture of this height, where mist mourns the cloud from which it had once commenced. Breath evaporates into the unsinkable trace that finds its dwelling within those whom themselves had once dwelled. Swimming sedative of longings unhinged, dissolved into the correlate of a non-conforming sea. Whe

This Instant
Laughter lights up her eyes and I know at that moment I want her to be mine. To be mine forever, or however long our bodies will allow us to remain on this earth. Whichever is the first to arrive will satisfy me. I have, however, just met the beautiful girl in front of me and understand completely my challenges. Yet, I feel something higher than me and her at work here. That shine in her eyes speaks to me. Her laugh tickles my ears pleasantly and her carefree spirit spreads contagiously to mine. I never want to be without her, for I know that I would forever lose that delicious feeling.
As I stare at her and entertain all her thoughts, I ad
