Flash Colored

Brightness

Hours passed. The girls not helping with Flash's temporary transformation wiled away the time on their phones, playing cards, or playing with Spike and Radar the lemur.

At length, Fluttershy emerged, wiping her hands on a paint-stained rag, her hair mussed from being stuffed under a hairnet for hours on end. Her cheeks were quite pink.

"Well?" Sunset asked, looking up.

"Umm..." Fluttershy ducked her head, poking her fingertips together and wringing her rag. Radar leapt to her shoulder, curling his long, fuzzy tail around her neck. She absently sritched him. "W-well...you'll see in a second, he's...he's finishing getting dressed now."

Rarity briskly entered the room, fanning her face. "Well...that happened," she said.

Rainbow leaned forward, grinning excitedly. "What'd he do? How's he look?"

"Well—" Rarity began. She faltered. "It's..." She plastered a game smile on her face. "Best you see...see for yourself," she said lamely.

Flash Sentry walked into the room. Several jaws dropped.

He wore a maroon half-sleeve leather jacket over an otherwise bare, vividly orange torso. The shade of orange he'd chosen was much more saturated than Sunset Shimmer's warm, fiery orange; in fact, it was more the color of the off-the-shoulder top she favored wearing with her newest spiky leather vest. His hair had been dyed a deep, rich maroon that matched the jacket he wore, with a light blue-silver streak down the middle. He also wore a maroon skort, baring his bright orange thighs that disappeared into knee-high maroon boots. He held out his arms to his sides and smiled gamely at the girls. "Ta-daaa," he said, his voice wavering.

"Um," Sunset Shimmer tried, fighting down a laugh. "That's...that's very..." She coughed. "Wow."

"That sure is somethin' alright," Applejack said with a pinched frown.

"Dude," Rainbow snickered.

"That's seriously how this whole thing is ending?" Pinkie Pie said, blink-blinking her bright blue eyes. "That is what all this has been building to?!"

"I'm...completely at a loss for words," Twilight said, her glasses falling askew.

"I don't...even know what I'm looking at here," Spike said.

Radar chittered something. Fluttershy sighed. "F'naaa..."

Author's Note:

Absolutely no editing was done in the course of writing this story. Hell, I didn't even go back and reread it before posting.

You all know exactly who to blame.

He never can seem to get a win can he?

That said I really did like this. The Teenage years are really just fucked up.

[GrandCat]

I can`t really get his new colors.

Huh. This was certainly a fascinating exploration of a concept that could only be done in the EqG world. Imagine someone trying to pull this in our world! There's walking through a minefield, and then there's just running across a single enormous land mine...

Suffice to say, a most interesting read. Thanks for it.

Oh, there's PLENTY of people who do something equivalent to this in our real world. By which I mean "anyone who has tattoos all over every inch of their bodies"... Society still has a pretty mixed reaction to body art enthusiasts once it hits a certain level.

Glad you enjoyed it, in any case. ^_^

[Jubilee Bloom]

This was actually a really fun story. Good job.

So crossdresser/color changer/transsexual Flash is now a fimfiction Thing? Oh well, it's much less annoying than Beanis is by this point.

Less a "FiMFiction thing" and more a SS&E thing that I'm messing around with. I think this one pretty much broke the recursion loop and will be the end of it, though.

We shall see. Both yourself and SS&E are popular enough writers there remains a risk of this going Full Meme.

I guess this makes some sense. In a world where people are pretty much every color of the rainbow, how would you feel if you weren't as vibrant as you wished?

At least Flash has actual potential for great stories. It also helps that he has my favorite color scheme in the series.

[ScisetShimmerEvan]

This was not the ending I was expecting. 😨

[Tigron]

Is it supposed to be bad color/fashion choice?

Or some meme picture?
