Watercolour

"Oooo! Can we come? Can we? Can we? Can we?" Pinkie pleaded.

"Sure. I could do with some company. And I could talk to Watercolour." Rarity glanced at Colour. "Oh my word!"

"What?! What is it?" Colour frantically asked.

"Your hooves and wings! They are beautiful!"

Watercolour flapped her wings.

"Turquoise blue with pink ends."

"Thank you. I'm sorta mixture of my mother and father."

"Wow! Just wow!" Rarity just stared at her wings.

"Um, you-hoo. Equestria to Rarity. Come in Rarity." Twilight waved a hoof in front of Rarity.

"Oh yes. Sorry. The market. Come on girls."

They walked down a path that had beautiful flowers around it.

"This town is lovely! So cheery and colourful!" Colour went to sniff a pink flower.

"And the flowers are-are- aaacchhhooooo!"

The others giggled.

Colour blushed as she rubbed her nose.

The four mares entered the market area.

"Wow!" Colour was going to really love living here.

She scanned the stalls and read the signs in them.

Carrot Top's top Carrots, Rose's roses, Derpy's muffins, Bonbon's bonbon sweets and....

"SWEET APPLE ACRE'S APPLES!" Watercolour's wings flared open and zoomed to stall.

"Omigosh! Omigosh! Omigosh!"

"Ah guess ya really like ma apples!" An amber pony grinned.

"Yes! In Canterlot, they only have ten apples at the shop per month. They're sooo yummy!" Colour's mouth watered.

"They are three bits each!"

"Hang on!" She opened her saddle bag and brought out a little pouch.

"Oh no! I must have spent the last of my bits on the train ticket! I only have one left." At that moment, her stomach rumbled.

"Here ya go."

"What?"

"It's free."

"Thank you!" She took a bite from the apple. "Mmmmm! They are even fletter when the are wesh!" She said with her mouth full.

"So Applejack, I see you have met Watercolour." Twilight said as the others walked up.

"So ya name is Watercolour?"

*Gulp* "Call me Colour for short."

"Applejack, have you seen Dashie?"

"Dashie?" Colour repeated.

"It's a pet name Pinkie has given her." Rarity said.

"Who?"

"Rainbow Dash."

"Heh! Somepony called."

A cyan pegasus flew down. Her hair was a vibrant rainbow, hence the name Rainbow.

"Are you Rainbow Dash?" Colour asked.

"The one and only!"

"The Rainbow Dash who can perform the legendary Sonic Rainboom on demand?"

"Yes! That's me!"

"Omigosh! From what I saw at the royal wedding, it was beautiful. A giant ring of bright colours. If i could paint it."

"You were at the wedding?" Twilight asked.

"I was at the front while they said their vowels. I got asked to paint them a portrait. But once I had finished, I had to leave. I saw the Rainboom as I left."

"Hmm. You said you wanted to paint my Rainboom."

"Yes." Colour said.

"Well, the Summer Sun Celebration is tomorrow morning. I could ask Celestia if i can perform it after she raises the sun." Rainbow offered.

"Wow! You'll do that?"

Rainbow nodded.

"I can picture it now! The vibrant colours in the golden background." She got out her art box. It had Watercolour's name across it.

"Your name is Watercolour? Sweet name!"

"Thank you!" So many friends and compliments in an hour.

"Well, I've got enough paint, chalks and pencils to last me two weeks."

She put the box back in her bags and fluttered her wings.

"Awesome wings, Colour." Rainbow said.

Colour smiled. "So Rainbow, I heard you've got a record of 17.5 wing power."

"Yes."

"Do you think you can beat my 17.9 wing power?"

Rainbow's jaw dropped. "17.9?!"

"Yep. Been practicing ever since you were won the Best Young Fliers competition. So wanna race?"

Rainbow's cheeky smile grew into a sly one. "You're on! Meet me by Ghastly Gorge at noon." And she zoomed off.

"Gha-Gha-Ghastly Gorge?" Fluttershy whispered.

"Do you think you can beat her?"

"My farther was a Wonderbolt. He wanted me to be one, but I became a artist."

"Come on. We better get you ready. Let's go to the Gorge." Twilight levitated the saddle bags and placed them on Colour's back.

It was noon, and at Ghastly Gorge was seven mares.

"So, ready to eat my dust Colour?"

"And vise verca!"

"Don't go all egghead on me! I've had enough from that one!" Rainbow pointed to Twilight.

Twilight came over. "Are you ready, Watercolour?"

"Yep!"

"Are you ready, Rainbow Crash?" Twilight sneered.

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!" Rainbow's usually magneta eyes went deep scarlet and her wings flared open.

"umm. Rainbow Dash." Twilight whispered.

"Hmphf!"

"Woah! Temper much, Dash." Colour giggled.

"Ha ha! Now are we going to race or what?"

The two pegasi stood ready at a painted red line.

"On your marks." Rainbow said.

"Getsetgo!" And Colour zoomed off.

"Hey!" Rainbow quickly followed.

Zipping through cracks and flying over rocks, northern of the pegasi showed signs of slowing down.

Rainbow wished she could do a Sonic Rainboom, but the imense force will create a rock slide. She didn't want to end up in one of them again.

Colour was winning by a nose.

As the finish line came closer into sight, Rainbow urged her wings to go faster.

Just as Colour was about to cross the line, a rainbow streak bashed into her. Causing both of the racers to tumble to the ground.

The others came running over.

"Oh Celestia! Are you two okay?"

Their reply were giggles and laughter.

"That was the best race ever! And I don't say that to everypony!" Rainbow got up and brushed off any dirt.

"I would say the same! But one question!" Colour said.

"What's that?"

"Do your ribs hurt?"

"Ow! Listen, I have an idea you can stay at my place if you want."

"Really?" Colour put her saddle bags on.

"Sure. You're a great pony! And an awesome flier!"

"Thank you!"

"Come on, I'll show you where it is and it's a pretty big house. See you later girls. We will be back for the celebration! Bye!"

"See ya girls!" She waved to the others.

"What a nice pony!" Fluttershy said as Watercolour left with Rainbow Dash.

"Such perfect style!" Rarity commented.

"Let's go girls! It's celebration time!"

"YEAH! PARTY TIME!!" Pinkie yelled as she jumped away.
