Twilight swallowed thickly.  Ears folded back on her head and eyes wide, she watched the colorful streak move across the sky.  Dipping and swirling, the rainbow tied knots, folded bows, and swirled spirals across the gentle blue canvas.

She must be going crazy.

The blur rocketed upwards, its path straightening.  The unicorn’s eyes followed raptly.  Her book lay forgotten by the railing of her balcony and the ice in her lemonade had bled away from cubes to chips.  Her studies, her very important studies had been put on hold by this enchanting display.  Try as she might, she couldn’t look away.

Crazy was the only answer.  There was no other reason she’d been so captivated by her daredevil friend.  Why her pulse jumped and her stomach flipped when the pegasus was near.  She was losing her mind, that was all there was to it.

The streak hit the zenith of its climb and in a gentle arc began to fall.  Twilight held her breath as the speed of descent grew faster and faster.  A thunder crack rent the air as waves of color exploded outwards.  The blurry rainbow grew bold and vibrant, hanging sharp and dazzling in the sky.  Rainbow Dash weaved through the wind on hairpin turns, carving brilliant lines in airspace.  Twilight’s held breath left in a gasp as the shockwave hit her, blowing her mane away from her face as she leaned halfway off the balcony.  The sky held the shape of a six pointed star, drawn in light.

A wobbly smile graced her lips.  She felt her heartbeat thunder in her ears and wetness on her cheeks from tears she hadn’t realized were there.  So she was insane.  Maybe she and Rainbow Dash could be crazy together.
