The Albino Unicorn

An albino unicorn was looking at her reflection. The only colour on her at besides her red eyes, was her cutie mark , which was blue. According to the doctors she was lucky it wasn't grey.  She took a box that was delivered to her parents house for her and removed the bottle inside. She put one drop into each eye, and her eyes turned blue. "Eye dye, where would I be without you?"she breathed. She then dyed her mane and tail and styled them, now looking back in the mirror was the unicorn her friends knew, Rarity.

                                                 . . .

Really Twilight " Rainbow Dash  said "so she dyes her mane.  She's a fashionista remember?"  They were in Twilight's library and Dash was looking for more Daring Do.   "You don't understand Rainbow, Rarity was lying." "How do you know?" "Because when we were talking she said she had a big order and then 'yeah that sounds good' ." " maybe she just doesn't like her natural mane colour?" RD suggested. "Yeah maybe."

                                                . . .

After backstitching the seam she was working on Rarity left for the spa. Her eyes where "a bit puffy" but before she could get there Twilight stopped her "soo ?" she asked. "So what?" Rarity replied."what colour  is it?"  "what colour is what ?" Asked Rarity genuinely confused. "Your mane!" "Royal purple?" "When it's not dyed." "HOW DO YOU KNOW I'M DYEING MY MANE??!!"  Rarity demanded. "You dropped your receipt." Said Twilight giving

Rarity the receipt.  "Oh." Rarity blushed.  "Soo"Twilight repeated. Rarity had an idea. "So what?" "What colour?" "What colour what?" This went on until they reached the spa.

Sweetie Bell!

A week later Rarity had run out of eye dye and her mane dye had come out. Before she redyed her mane and tail though, she went to get the eye dye which was being delivered to her parents house again. This time when Sweetie Bell got home the cmc were with her and her sister's and her mom's voices where audible. " if not your friends than doesn't at least Sweetie Bell deserve to know?" Their mom asked." no, I said I'll tell her when I want to. " Rarity replied " do you have it?" "Yes dear it's right here." Unknown to the cmc, Rarity and Sweetie Bell 's mom levitated a box of Rarity's eye dye towards her. When Rarity came out she was buckling her saddlebag "I really must get a new saddlebag,"she was saying as she came out. "this one's old fashioned."  "Hi Rarity." The girls said. "Hello girls,"  Rarity responded. "How are you planing on getting your cutie mark today?" "Well first we're going to-" Sweetie Bell started, gesturing with a hoof knocking  Rarity's sunglasses off in the process. Rarity immediately shut her eyes. "Sweetie Bell ! Where are my sunglasses?"  "Right here."  Rarity opened her eyes for a split second and saw her sunglasses and grabbed them with her magic and put them on but not before Sweetie Bell saw her eyes. Sweetie Bell saw beet  red eyes in her sisters face. And  Rarity knew it.

Mane dye

Sweetie Bell came home from school one day to hear her mom talking to Rarity . She heard fragments of the conversation: "thank you for having ... delivered here" Rarity was saying. Her mom said your welcome ,and Rarity walked out in a hat sunglasses and a dress all arranged so you couldn't see her mane or tail, which was quite unusual for Rarity as she usually loved showing off her mane. "Hello Sweetie Bell," Rarity said seeming flustered "well goodbye." And she ran out. " huh?" Sweetie Bell asked.

                                               . . .

Rarity didn't stop running until she got to the hair dressers.  The white unicorn stepped inside. "Hi there Rarity," a green unicorn mare with a blue mane and tail called,"the usual I presume?" "Right Ocean Breeze" Rarity

Replied. Ocean Breeze gave Rarity a can and Rarity gave her ten bits and put the can in her saddlebag. As Rarity started home she ran into Twilight, they talked for a bit until Rarity said " I've got to get going uhh ... Big order" and in hushed tones "yeah that sounds good."  "What did you say?" Asked Twilight "nothing." And with that Rarity ran off leaving Twilight puzzled. "What was that?" Asked Pinkie Pie who had come up behind Twilight without her noticing, making her jump."huh!" " hi Twilight I said 'what was that?' Pinkie repeated  "Oh Rarity's acting weird and I intend to find out why. " Twilight said. "Well maybe you can start with that receipt she dropped." Pinkie said "a receipt! Why didn't you say so?" "I thought I just did."  Twilight looked at the receipt,  'one can of royal purple mane and or tail dye =10 bits', it read. Rarity was dyeing her mane and tail.
