Zecora walked outside casually, breathing in the fresh morning air. "Zecora! Time for school!" her mom shouted, walking into the room.

  "But... what if they make fun of my coat?" Zecora asked.

  "It's okay. I found out how to fix that." her mom smiled.

  "Why are we up so early, anyway? I want to go back to sleep. School is later." Zecora yawned.

  "Because we have to get up early to fix your problem."

  "What?"

  "You'll see." her mom promised. she walked outside, and Zecora did the smae after throwing on her saddlebag.

  PONY

Rarity yawned as someone knocked at the door. "Just a minute!" she called. Brushing her mane slightly, she ran to the door. "Don't loose your hooves." she muttered.

  "Hello." Fallenstar stood at the door, a striped filly beside her.

  "Hello, Fallenstar! What would you like today?" Rarity asked.

  "Zecora. I want her sky blue, like me." Fallenstar replied. Rarity nodded, and after studying the filly slightly she galloped over to her study table.

  " I can't wait!" Zecora muttered.

  "You'll love it." Fallenstar promised.

  "Bad news." Rarity walked over to where the other ponies were standing.

  "What?" Fallenstar looked shocked, and Zecoras' eyes showed she was heartbroken.

  "I don't have any dye. But I could give you this cape!" Rarity pulled a light brown, extra-simple, hooded cloak out of a saddlebag.

  "It's.. uh..." Fallenstar looked puzzled.

  "Its not a peice of art. But I don't have time, school's today, and-" rarity began explaining.

  "I LOVE IT!" Zecora exclaimed. She grabbed it and threw it on.

  "It's a bit big, but it'll do." Fallenstar chuckled. "thanks Rarity." she added as they turned to go.

  "Don't think of it. I always like to help friends!" Rarity replied. Then Fallenstar trotted outside with her "daughter".

  ZEBRA

Zecora was loving school 100%. She had made friends with Rarity, who luckily kept 'the secret', Applejack, Cherrille and Little Mac. Now, it was time for a potion class.

  "Okay, class, we'll start out with a simple one. It's called colorchange. IT works on anything except ponies." Pencil Sketcher announced. Zecora sighed at the last part. "You have a fruit on your desk. See hwt you can so with that. To make the potion, just blahblahblahblah*" Pencil Sketcher explained. Zecoa started mixing up potions, looking for the perfect white. As she mixed, Applejack tabbed her shoulder.

  "What?" Zecora asked, dipping the bananna into the mix of potions.

  "Your flank. I saw eht' glow." Applejack whispered.

  "Through the cloak?" Zecora looked suspecious.

  "Eh think you earned your cutiemark. Why else would you flank glow randomly?"

  "Uh... okay..." Zecora flipped up her shrt and looed at her flank. A white, line-like sun on her striped coat. "Awsome!" she shouted.

  "What's wrong with your coat?" a filly behind her asked.

  "Nothing. That's just how it looks like." Zecora replied. Rarity was staring at her with wide eyes, trying to look shocked like everyone else.

  "Wow. That's amazin'!" Applejack exclaimed.The others didn't have such a cheerfull response.

  "Zecora, I will have to ask you... out. The other students are interrupted by your appearence." Pencil Sketch neighed.

  "But-" Zecora began.

  "No. Zecora, get out. Now." Pencil Sketch replied.

  "Y-yes Miss Pecil." Zecora stammered. She grabbed her saddlebad and ran outside, cloak on. This was the worst day ever, cutiemark or not.

  "Zecora? Is that you?" Fallenstar poked her head out of the flower shop she worked in. Zecora didn't reply. She just continued running, until she found a forest where nopony would ever see her stripes again.
