Rarity, like all ponies, has been blind to color since the day she was born. After all, ponies only gained the gift of color-sight upon meeting their soulmate; the pony they were destined to love.

But as years became decades and she instead found herself falling in love with the brilliant Twilight Sparkle, she had come to abandon those dreams in favor of a fulfilling—if colorless—existence with the pony she believed was truly the love of her life. Because really, if Rarity's every day were so filled with happiness and wonder, how could she bring herself to complain that she couldn't see color?

Or so she thought, until the day she suddenly could.
