Rainbow Spectrum, The Energetic Artist

One bright morning, in a simple little house in Ponyville, slept a little pegasus mare. She had a fur coat as white snow, a bright blue mane with streaks of rainbow on the bottom, and her cutie mark was two pencils overlapping each other.

She slowly opened her eyes, and adjusted them to the brightness. She groaned and rolled out of bed, then walked over to her vanity mirror. She picked up her brush and started brushing out her mane. She then looked over to the left, and picked up a necklace with a little pencil charm on it. Sliding the necklace on with one hoof, she used the other to pull her hair into a ponytail, tightening it with a band.

She put on a cheery smile,"Time to get to work!"

She walked over to her desk and picked up a pencil, she started to sketch a simple circle in the middle of her paper, in a fairly large size. Then from that circle, she made a wavy line, connecting the bottom of the circle to the bottom of the page. She did the same with the other side of the circle, making it resemble a head and a neck.

knock, knock, knock!

Her head jerked up and she dropped her pencil at the sudden noise. Sliding out of her chair, she walked over and opened the door. In the entry of the doorway stood a yellow pegasus mare with flowing strands of pink hair. She dug her hoof into the dirt, not noticing that the door had been opened.

"Hey Fluttershy!" she greeted, waving her hoof.

Fluttershy looked up, just now noticing her, "Oh, um, hi Rainbow Spectrum..." she said meekly.

"What'd ya need?"

"Oh, well, I was just wondering if, the picture I asked for Twilight was done?"

Rainbow nodded her head, "Oh yes of course!" she held her hoof up in the air, "I'll be right back!"

She zoomed back into the house, and went into her bedroom. She trotted over to her desk and started going through some canvasses, "Oh where is it?" she said in a stern tone. "Aha! There it is!"

She zoomed back to the doorway, and stopped in front of Fluttershy. "Here you are!" she said in a sing-song tone, after handing it to Fluttershy.

"Thank you." she said.

"You're welcome!" Rainbow hollered after Fluttershy turned to leave.

Rainbow shut the door and turned around, then headed for her bedroom. She walked in and sat at her desk once more, and picked up her pencil. She started to sketch a sort of, backwards 'C' shape, on the top right of the circle. She once again did it with the other side, creating the shape of an ear.

Rainbow usually sketched things out on paper first, then went for a canvas to paint it on. She always wanted perfection, any mistake she saw would be fixed, even the tiniest of things, Rainbow would always fix it. So, she started sketching things out on a piece of paper, to make sure that she wouldn't mess it up on the canvas.

Rainbow stood up for a moment, a look of confusion creeping up on her face. She sat back down and erased part of the ear, "It's too skinny and too far up." she mumbled.

She redid the ear, and made sure it was further down, and not too skinny. After that, she took the paper in her mouth and slid it into a droor on the bottom of her desk. After shutting the droor, she got up and walked over to a wooden cabinet. She opened the door on the right, and in a second, she was buried in a pile of papers, pencils, brushes, and paint. Rainbow stuck her head out the mess, and gasped for air.

She laughed, "Oh, silly me! I forgot I was gonna organize that!" she said, while still laughing.
~~~~~~~~~~
It was about 12:00 o' clock in the morning after she organized her supplies cabinet. Wiping her brow, she took a step back and admired her work, she patted her own self on the back, and smiled."Phew! That was a lot of work!", her stomach rumbled, and she blushed a light shade of crimson.

"I guess all that cleaning made me hungry!" she laughed again, they went to the kitchen to make some lunch.

AFTER LUNCH

"Hmmm. Ehhh. Mmmmm." Rainbow mumbled. She was having a hard time deciding what to paint, she thought she could do a pony, but she had already done tons of those. She also thought she could maybe touch up her backgrounds, but everypony else said they looked fine. She finally settled on drawing herself, in a forest with twisted vines everywhere, branching out to reach her. She put a confident and brave look on her face, like she was ready to tackle any challenge or obstacle that came in the way of her path.

She smiled, but it vanished once she had got her head out of the clouds. She yawned and mumbled something under her breath, without saying a word, she silently closed her eyes, and started to daze off. Once she realized what she was doing, she quickly opened her eyes back up, and remembered what she was doing.

She sighed, "I wish my crazy dreams could become a reality." she sighed again, and put a smile on. She yawned once more, "Guess I'm exhausted, even though it's the middle if the day." she laughed. So, cleaned her brush and swapped it out for a quill and ink. Eager to take a quick nap, she slowly dipped the quill in the black substance, and it slowly emerged, the tip of it covered in black ink. She took the quill in her mouth, moved it closer to the painting, and signned it, Rainbow Spectrum.

Author's Note

I have so much to say about this chapter, but I'll make it quick, (not really). First off, I'm so glad to finally have this out, after like a month. Second off, this was really fun to write, and there's gonna be lots more chapters after this so be prepared, I might have a chapter out every two days maybe? Idk, but also, I was not putting any FluttershyxTwilignt in there in the beginning, I was thinking she might give it to Twilight for her birthday or something! And second off, tell me any mistakes you might of seen, or any criticism! i know there wasn't really anything happening in this chapter, but it's just supposed to be like an introduction to the character, you know like, so you can get their personality and stuff. Hope you all enjoyed!

(Also if u don't understand how sketching it out on paper helps her not make mistakes, is because she can usually draw things if she has a visual of it, so if it's perfect on the paper, and it is cause she can erase mistakes on paper, she can paint it on the canvas)

Okay there still more I want to say, (write), I'm not very proud of this chapter, I don't think this is a very exciting chapter, all we get is a play by play on her drawing, but I had to get something out for each character, and this was the only thing I could think of for Rainbow, I'll try to make the other ones more interesting, once again,

Eclipse, A Mysterious Unicorn

It was a dark night in Ponyville. It sounded as if the whole town was alseep, but one pony was wide awake. She stood in a dark alley between two abandoned buildings. She had no expression, no fear, no anger, no sadness, just blank. The strange thing was that she had a little black doll encased in her aura of magic. It had big X's for eyes, and a big toothy grin. She stood there, as if deep in thought, she was leaning against the building on the right, and her legs where crossed.

"Why are we standing out here?" A feminine voice said.

"To wait." The pony replied.

"Wait for what?" A male voice asked.

He got no answer, only her ignoring him in response.

Here, let me get some things cleared up for you. This strange pony, is Eclipse. She is a pitch black unicorn, with loose strands of red and purple hair falling limp over her neck and shoulders. The doll she holds is Nightbeam, it's a smarty pants doll she has from her childhood. Nightbeam was possessed by a demon, but Eclipse had befriended it. The demon allowed Eclipse to hear three different voices in her head, Starglow, Darklight and Shadow. She can also hear Nightbeam in her head, and listens to him way more than she should.

Her parents were afraid of Eclipse, even Celestia, which is why her family abandoned her, only leaving her with her smarty pants doll and a necklace with a little star charm on it. She quickly took in a lot about street smarts, leading her to what she is now. Now, back to the story.

Eclipse still stood there, waiting. Eyes darting back and forth, but she still had that flat expression. Finally, hoofsteps aproached around the corner. A brown earth pony with slicked back jet black hair walked past the alley, and threw the sack of trash that was formerly on his shoulder, into a trash can. He turned back around, and noticed Eclipse. He jumped and scurried away, past the alley.

Eclipse's eye twitched, and she grunted. Eclipse got annoyed very easily, but she was so used to it, that she didn't care anymore. She turned around and walked out the other side of the alley, hoping to get back home. But that's not always possible when you have three annoying voices always in your head.

"I thought we were waiting?" Darklight asked.

"We should of killed him when we had the chance." Starglow complained.

"Listen, we might be criminal, but we're not muderers!" Shadow added.

Eclipse listened to it the whole way home, trying to ignore it. Sadly, that didn't happen, especially since they're right inside her head. She pushed open the door to her house, making an eerie creaking noise as it moved.

"Well what makes you say that!" Starglow asked.

"Because, I'm the reasonable one!" Shadow exclaimed.

Eclipse closed her eyes, once more trying to ignore it, "Would you cut that out!" It was rare for Eclipse to say more than a couple words at the same time. She wasn't shy, she just wasn't very talkative, and she liked being alone, so she didn't have much experience when it came to being social.

All three voices quieted down when Eclipse yelled at them. They didn't think it was possible for Eclipse to show she was angry. If you could even call that angry, she had kept her face straight, she had only raised her voice, but that was not something Eclipse was known to do. She was perfectly monotone, but that was something that she had had all her life.

"I still thought we were waiting." Darklight said.

"Yeah, even though we don't know what she's waiting for." Starglow answered.

"Well, you never know with Eclipse, you never know." Shadow said.

And that was true. No matter how hard you try, you never know with Eclipse. Whatever secrets she may be hiding, whatever evil schemes, would be a mystery for the rest of your life. Until the unthinkable happens.

Author's Note

Ooh suspense! Okay, I think this was a hard chapter to write. Man, her character was hard! But hopefully I pulled it off, if you don't think I did it right, tell me (typervader). Anyway i think this chapter was better, not saying that the last one was bad, just not the best. But yeah, hopefully I got her character right, not much else to say except:

(P.s. I know I didn't really make her have no emotion, but I tried okay!? I tried:raritydespair:)

Melody Scratch, An Easy Going DJ

Her eyes sparkled as the light shone down onto them. Her curly purple mane was pulled onto one side, the streaks of black and blue hardly showing. She glanced back at her left wing, feel suddenly self-conscious. She blinked as the light reflected off the metal, temporarily blinding her. She shrugged it off and patiently waited for the curtain to withdraw.

Beside her sat an earth-pony with a pale gray coat, and a mane of a darker shade. She was listening intently to the speaker outside, introducing them to the waiting audience. "It has been a long winter so far, as we all have waited so long for Hearthswarming. So today we have a special event. Now introducing Melody Scratch and Octavia Melody!"

She always stared in awe as the curtains opened, no matter how many times she had seen it. The crowd of ponies listening to their music, and all their praise, it filled her with warmth. She drew her eyes away and focused on the movement of her hooves. She slid them gracefully down the keys of the piano, moving left to right, leaving room for Octavia to play on the opposite side. She gave a little nod as a signal for Octavia to start playing her part of the duet.

The show lasted for quite some time, playing multiple Hearthswarming songs, and getting a loud round of applause each time they stopped. Everypony was impressed at how well they played, and left Town Hall with smiles on their faces. Melody and Octavia thanked Mayor Mare for letting them play, then proceeded to walk outside.

Octavia looked at Melody, "Vinyl and I are getting some lunch. Want to come?"

Melody just shook her head and reply and veered away from Octavia. She looked back over her shoulder, "I just want to take a walk."
Octavia smiled and walked away from her, and so did Melody. She felt her hooves carrying her to one of her favorite places, and she felt the familiar path beneath them.

It was comforting, knowing every stretch of the land in Ponyville, nothing ever changed. The same ponies passing her on either side, the houses they lived in. Her life was pretty normal, nothing too great had happened to her, but nothing bad either. The ground suddenly sloped upward, and the grass grew thicker. She smiled warmly and sat down at the top of the hill. She closed her eyes, letting the breeze blow gently on her face, swaying her mane.

She opened her eyes and looked at the land below her. She could see the rolling fields and grasses that stretched all the way to Canterlot. She could see many flowers and the animals that inhabited the area around them. She felt safe here, the world's gentle embrace surrounding her.

She breathed in deeply. Life is good. she thought.

FI-NA-LLY. This took sooooooooo long for such a short chapter! But you have NO idea how many times I had to rewrite this, not mentioning all the other things that got in the way. I am so sorry for this, and I am extremely sorry to Illyasviel Von Einsbern (The OC's creator)
