A Colorful Destiny

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple.

Those are the colors I saw that fateful day, the colors that taught me to feel emotions when I was created to not feel them.

It was so sudden, one moment I wasn't feeling anything and the next I felt everything.

I scribbled on the page in front of me the same colors i saw that day. Once I was done I gazed upon the colorful object with fascination. It's been three days since the burst of colors shot through the sky but I still can’t get the object out of my mind. What was it? What was it called? Where did it come from?

Can I see it again?

The sound of my cell door opening spooked me out of my thoughts, I looked up. Firefly was standing there. Firefly was a pink pegasus with a blue mane and blue lightning bolts on her flank. Her lab coat looked extra clean today.

Today was special, Firefly said she was going to sneak something from the outside to show me today!

My eyes lit up in excitement as I got to my hooves, “Did you bring it?” I asked.

“Yes A-1, I got it.” She chuckled and reached behind her and grabbed something with her teeth. I cocked my head in confusion.

Holding by the scruff of its neck Firefly had a tiny pegasus pony smaller than me. The pony was orange and had a spiky purple mane and was wearing some kind of cloth on it bottom.

Gently, Firefly set the tiny pegasus on the ground and smiled softly.

“A-1 meet my daughter, Scootaloo!” Scootaloo?

I stared at Scootaloo for a bit before I worked up the courage to ask “What is it?”

“It's a baby silly!” She laughed, I cocked my head to the side.

“A baby?” I think Ditzy Doo once told me about babies. I watched as Scootaloo started crawling toward me. I reach a hoof forward until I accidentally booped her on the nose. Scootaloo scrunched up her nose and stuck my hoof in her mouth then started suckling on it.

Babies are weird but they make me happy. So I guess they're okay.

"Firefly, can I ask you a question? 3 days ago when that boom happened, what was that thing in the sky?" I asked.

"What thing?" I pointed at my drawing on the ground, Firefly walked over and picked it up. Her smile turned into a frown.

"Oh that," She sighed and ran a hoof though her mane. Firefly reached down and picked up Scootaloo and started bouncing her on her back "Its called a rainbow but A-1, you really shouldn't be drawing rainbows and hanging them on your wall. You know how unstable Moonlight is, he would freak! Where did you even get the tape?"

"Moonlight dropped it. But anyways- Wow, a rainbow! So that's what its called! Its was so beautiful." I hopped up and down "When can I see it again?"

"Probably never."

I stopped bouncing, "Why not?"

"A-1 I'm sorry but you in here well rainbows are out there. Not to mention rainbows don't happen all that often, especially like the one you saw." Firefly hoofed me the drawing. I stared at her before looking down at my picture.

"Whats so different about the one I saw?" I asked slowly.

"This rainbow wasn't created by the weather factory, this rainbow was created by a pony." She smiled at the surprised look on my face.

"A pony did that? Wow." Firefly chuckled and started heading out the door.

"Wait! One more question."

She turned around, "Yes?"

"Where do babies come from?"
