Every week or so, Rarity gathers all of her friends for a little get-together at her boutique. Or at a cafe. Or in Sugarcube Corner. Anywhere that serves tea or tea can be brought in.

And every time, as soon as their conversation steers towards that most intimate of topics, Rainbow Dash falls silent.

After a night of gossiping between Rainbow Dash and Applejack, some of Applejack's apples have lost their red color and Rainbow doesn't have a spot of red on her!

Twilight does some investigating and determines Rainbow Dash caught Farbensprites, a cousin of the parasprites, that eat color! These nocturnal creatures eat red the first night and move down the rainbow of colors each night.

Rainbow Dash is troubled by her loss of color. Will she ever get her colors back, what if she loses more colors?

We find solace in love, but our remedy is also our poison...( WARNING: This story is a mind f@#k, so be very prepared to have cannons shattered and more questions then answers.)
