26. A Different Shade of Red

Inside an exotic restaurant called the Tasty Treat, Rarity and Pinkie Pie enjoy lunchtime together.
“I’m glad that you suggested this place.” Rarity praised.
“Thanks.” Pinkie replied as she took a bite of some brazed lamb. “I heard many good things about this place.”
“Indeed. It might look a bit rustic. But the food is fabulous.” Rarity took a bite of some chicken marsala. “The chef of this place, Saffron Marsala, traveled all over the world to learn her craft.”
“That’s what I heard too.” Pinkie took a sip of water. “It’s her cooking that makes this place amazing.”
Pinkie then saw another patron enjoying the food. It is a woman with flowing black hair and wearing a short sleeved red shirt and flowing red skirt. And this lady has on red shoes.
“This food is tasty.” The woman said to Saffron Marsala, who was passing by. “You did very good.”
“Thank you, my friend.” Saffron said. “I’m happy that you enjoy my cooking.”
Pinkie looked at the woman with uncertainty. Later, the two girls left the restaurant with full bellies, very satisfied.
“Good work suggesting this place, Pinkie.” Rarity said happily.
“Thanks.” Replied the party girl. She then became a bit concerned. “But, I’m a little relieved to get out of there. That woman, Spanish Red, gave me an uneasy feeling.”
Rarity was confused by that name. “Spanish Red? Who is that?”
Her answer came from a Latin woman’s voice. “That would be me, señorita.”
Pinkie and Rarity turned and saw that same woman from the restaurant. This time, she added an elegant hat and flowing cape.
“You’re Spanish Red?” Rarity asked.
“Si.” The woman named Red answered. “I can understand why your poofy haired friend has an uneasy feeling about me.”
“You’re one of those mean girls lead by the scheming Aunt Kitty!” Pinkie angrily said. “Aren’t you?”
“Yes, I am.” Red replied as she approached the party girl. “But, I’m not always mean.”
Pinkie Pie was surprised to hear that. “You’re not?”
“No, my friend. My aggression is when I’m in the wrestling ring.”
Rarity soon had a thought. “Of course. You had a long feud with Americana. Haven’t you?”
“Correct. Despite what I think of her, Americana is a worthy adversary. Even she has respect for me.”
Pinkie soon had tears in her eyes. Rarity noticed this. “Are you alright, Pinkie?”
“I feel so silly.” Pinkie sadly said. “I’m sorry, Red.”
Pinkie starts to cry when Red came and gave her a hug. “It’s okay, amigo. We all make mistakes. Nothing to cry about.”
The party girl soon felt relieved. “Thanks, Red. I feel better.”
Satisfied, Red prepared to leave. Soon, she gives Rarity and Pinkie Pie each a rose.
“Thank you, darling.” Rarity praised.
“You’re welcome, my friends.” Red said proudly as she gets ready to leave. “Adios, amigos.”
Spanish Red leaves the area. The two girls are very proud to talk with her.
“I guess even girls like Spanish Red can have a kind heart.” Pinkie figured.
Rarity agreed with her. “Yes. True.”
