//------------------------------// // Red // Story: Rainbow's Colours of Emotion // by Sofea 3C //------------------------------// As the trio trotted towards Sugarcube Corner to have some breakfast before starting on their exciting day, Rainbow Dash noticed that Quibble was quieter than usual- too quite if she do say so herself. Usually, he would already start blabbering about how unthinkable Daring Do's action was or maybe praising her for another job well done. Although it was quite a relief to have some quiet, she was worried for Quibble. However, she was also amused how he could be so oblivious to the fact that the pony he was introduced to was a living legend. "Quibble?," Rainbow inquired, "are you okay?" "what-" Quibble looks at her "-makes you think that I'm not?" "You are quiet since we left the train," she stated. "It's not like you to just be quiet, you know." "sigh it's nothing, really," he replied even though his facial expression says otherwise. Deciding not to question anymore and spare him, Rainbow went along with it. "Alright." Without noticing, they were already at Sugarcube Corner and are already requesting three platters of sliced chocolate cakes. It was weird to have dessert in the morning, but this is the norms for Rainbow Dash to keep her energy and sugar level high to keep up with her tiring day. Quibble Pants and Flash Magnus didn't complained much; this would just mean they will have dessert twice! While having breakfast, Quibble noticed something about Flash Magnus that reminded him of another pony. A pegasus that has orange coat, possibly a guard of some sort, his first name is flash and has shaded blue eyes- kind of like a pony he knows who was once his best friend. "Hey Magnus," Quibble said, trying to get the pony's attention. Flash looked at him with a raised eyebrow as if saying, 'I want to eat so make this quick or I'll ignore you totally'. "Are you by any chance related with somepony named Flash Sentry?" Rainbow's eyes bulged out and she nearly choke; thank goodness it was just cake. She took a big gulp of clear water and burst out laughing for the fact that Qubble was still oblivious to the fact that there was a legendary pony in front of him. Flash Magnus was just as amused by Rainbow's sudden outburst After having breakfast, they started their journey to a Daring Do convention that will be held at Ponyville's own town hall. This was the first time that a Daring Do convention was held at Ponyville and how lucky was Rainbow that Quibble decided to visit her the same time as it was held. She had not known about this convention if it not for Quibble who has told her about it in one of his letters. She knew that there will be many ponies and the place will be pack not a moment too soon, so that is why she decided to become extra early this very day. As she predicted, there are many ponies there and it was only eight in the morning. Since they have much more to do for the rest of the, they will not be attending any panels or even do any cosplaying. They would just take a couple of photos with other fans or maybe even the very author that is actually Daring Do behind the mask, A.K. Yearling. If they were lucky enough, they would play some games while they were there. However, they were just going to buy some Daring Do merchandise to save time. Rainbow was having so much fun meeting all the other ponies that are just as devoted as her when it comes to Daring Do while Quibble was entranced by all the replica of some historical item that were mentioned in the series. They did brought some merchandise if you are wondering. Rainbow brought a cute Daring Do plushy and her very own Daring Do inspired vest while Quibble brought an Ahuizotl action figure and a mug that has the writings, 'I love Daring Do' in bold. As they were having so much fun, Flash Magnus was left all alone since he was not a fanatic of Daring Do like Rainbow and Quibble. Though he tried to ignore the bothersome feeling of loneliness, he felt envy at Quibble's advantage to catch Rainbow's attention easily. He tried to shake it off by reminding himself that it was their time together. He might seem like he does not care for the rainbow haired mare, but he secretly check on her to see if she was fine and the sight in front of him seems to make his heart shatters into a million pieces. Geez, talk about exaggerating. Seriously though, he really do look heartbroken. In front of him is a sight of Rainbow Dash and Quibble Pants having a conversation with A.K. Yearling and by the looks of it, Rainbow was having so much fun together without him. Together... What a horrible word to those who are single and are hoping for a relationship while it has a wonderful meaning to those who are already in a relationship. To hear the words coming out of one's mouth is even painful, especially if its from your crush to another pony. Without hesitation, Flash immediately left the town hall and decided to wait for 'the daring duo', as Rainbow and Quibble would call themselves every so often. "Hahaha, oh god-" inhales deeply "-I guess it's time for us to depart, Yearling", Rainb "Or should we call you, Daring Do?", Quibble joked while snickering at his own joke. Daring just laugh it off and said, "Call me whatever you like Quib, as long as the scret is kept between us." Ranbow Dash and Quibble wave as Daring Do walked away from them. Quibble take a look at Rainbow contemplating if he should initiate his plan to ask her out on a date. But there is one catch. Flash Magnus was there. "Hey Rainbow, can we talk for a bit? " Quibble started. Rainbow, clueless, looks at him for a bit before agreein. However, Flash knows his plan before Rainbow even realize it. Simple- naive. She is just that. Which is why he interrupted it quickly by ushering Rainbow to have lunch together. "Yo Dash, I made this, " Flash hands out a well made bento box to her. " Come on, let's eat together." Rainbow was absolutely captivated by the food. Flash 'flashed'a smug look towards Quibble and added, "you can join if you want to- but I only made 2. One for me and another for her." Quibble grits his teeth to remain his composure. Inside, he was fuming. "Yeah, that's fine. I can buy from Sugarcube Corner." "Nice." Flash smiled somewhat cheekily. "Meet you after lunch then." "Byeee," Flash waved as he gently guide Rainbow away from Quibble. Rainbow, baffled, don't exactly know how to react to what she just witnessed. 'Eh, probably a guy thing. ' Rainbow thought.
