Black Feather
It was a nice relaxing day up in Cloudsdale. All of the kids were outside having fun in the sun and the clouds, and the teachers and adults were having a good fly about the skies. Although, Black Feather had a more retro way of relaxing, by enjoying a good book within the vast library.
It had been a while since Black Feather had had a good read of a book, but it was one of his favourates; A young Pegasus who wasn't good at flying was the story's plot. However, through determination and hard work, the young Pegasus flew higher than any other Pegasus. It reminded him of himself and how through the strength of the heart one could accomplish their goals.

A black pegasus sat at a near by table, her black mane was streaked with bright, neon colors and the leg-warmers on her hind legs faded from yellow to red between the black stripes on them. The young pony's cutie mark was a paintbrush and paint-pallet, and art probably was the only thing on the young pony's mind. "C'mon, Color Splash! You can do better than that!" She sighed to herself, painting over her canvas with white so that she could start again once more. Color Splash flared her wings, the longest feathers were tipped in the same bright colors that were in her mane and tail.
The young pony noticed another and smiled from her table. "Hmm? A story?" Color Splash stepped over to Black Feather. "Hello. What are you reading?" Books often gave Splash inspiration for her art and a good story would be welcome right now. "I'm Color Splash, by the way. Call me Splash if you want." This pony, Splash, was obviously friendly. She must just enjoy her art more than friends usually.

Thunder Flare's light brown eyes flicked over to the two ponies, then rolled haughtily. She snorted, an act of extreme arrogance. Her black pelt sharply contrasted with her bright orange mane streaked with a dusty brownish-gray; same with her tail. But, what stood out was her Cutie Mark. Two brilliant speed blazes shot across her flank, giving that area the appearance that a light coat of star dust covered it. The young pony's wings, which were slightly open, were the same color as her fur, but the very fringes were slightly dashed with white.
Spreading her magnificent wings fully open, she trotted over to the two ponies. "And what are you two doing? Why waste time reading when you could be flying?! You weren't born a pegasus for nothing." Thunder shook her head, disdain clear.

Color Splash was normally a fun-lovin pony, but her work wasn't done, so she was testy. The black pony turned to look at the haughty pegasus behind her. It seemed everyone here had a black pelt. "I am actually working on my art. I'm not done working, so I'm not gonna go out flying. My client wants it done today." Splash's pale lavender eyes were a contrast to the bright and vibrant colors in her mane, tail, and on the tips of her wings. "A story only makes things easier to draw sometimes and libraries are Quiet" Splash made sure to emphasize the last word. "As for your obvious hate of what we're doing...But Out" The black pegasus had made sure that her annoyance with this new pony's high-and-mighty attitude was clear. "If you'd rather be flying, then go fly. Don't be a pest in here."

Thunder Flare's eyes widen as the impudent brat in front of her spoke. When she finished, the young mare narrowed her eyes and stepped closer. Her normally calm eyes were shot with fury, and her long tail whipped back and forth. It was all she could do to keep from knocking the brightly-colored pegasus over the head with her wings. Thunder snorted angrily. "Do you even know who I am? I'm Thunder Flare, the best flyer in all of Equestria! And why do I believe that? Because I am the amazing leader of the Wonderbolts! I am Thunder Flare, the only being, alive or dead, pony or other, that can preform the Skyblaze!"
Of course. What pony didn't know the Skyblaze? True, as of know the only recorded being to ever perfectly do the stunt was Thunder Flare. Her famous move was the young pegasus flying as high as she could into the clouds at night. Then, she would streak back and forth across the sky, still behind the clouds. It would create an illusion that she was flying faster then the sky could follow. Finally, she would stop, and the night sky would become a dazzeling orange or red. So far, only those two colors. She hadn't found a way to create any others, for she wasn't very familiar in the arts.

Color Splash snorted. "And It matters to an artist, why?" She asked, stepping by Thunder Flare to walk back to her art work. So much for a good story. "I don't idolize you and your team like the others, and YOU seem to be the opposite of what the wonderbolts stand for. Bravery, Potential, Safety; You don't just perform, you're supposed to be ready at a moments notice to save another pony. You seem like the sort who would just let them fall." Splash already knew she didn't like this haughty pony.
"Your status shouldn't matter. You should act like you're just another pony unless you're working on duty, which -seeing as you arent wearing the uniform- you arent." Color Splash flicked her short, messy-looking, black, color-streaked tail at Thunder Flare. "Now we're back to what I said before. If you want to fly, then go fly. Don't be a pest."

Thunder Flare's mane bristled with unspoken fury as Color Splash trotted back to her canvas. Her mouth opened to snap back a sharp retort, but she was interrupted. Instead of closing her maw, it continued to slightly hang open. Only when the other pegasus finish did it snap close.
Instead of bristling with rage and yelling back, Thunder Flare's wings snapped back to her body, her tail stopped lashing, and her mane returned to normal. Her eyes drastically changed; the immense anger that had boiled in them a moment ago had transformed into something else. Something more. Pain. Maybe even sorrow. With her slim form, she looked even smaller now. Thunder looked like she had just emerged from foalhood days ago. Which, put correctly, she almost had. A quiver passed through her, and a squeak slipped out of her mouth. "I'm sorry. . . ." the young pegasus managed to say.
She then turned to trot outside, tears beginning to form in her pale eyes. All that other pegasus had said was true; except for letting another fall. That, Thunder Flare would never do. But everything else had been spot on. The only thing Color Splash hadn't said was about her personality.

Now tha color splash saw this, her kinder side took over. "Hold up." She trotted over and gave Thunder Flare an apologetic look. "What I said was a bit harsh." Oh, how she hated to say sorry. Splash was a kind pony usually but she was also a bit prideful and apologising was usually rare unless she felt that just leavin it would be a bad thing. "But you shouldn't be so high and mighty all the time."
The black, color streaked mare stepped back a bit and dipped her head in greeting. "Let's start over. My name is Color Splash. Most ponies call me Splash, though. It's nice to meet you, Thunder Flare." Splash just had to giggle as she moved back to her canvas once more, turning it for the other black pegasus to see. "I was in the middle of the last Wonderbolts poster and I needed a good story to keep me going. It's kind of funny if you think of it." Now that they had started again, and Color Splash was almost done with the picture, She was in a much brighter mood. "I'm not exactly the strongest flier anyway. Because of my art career, I'm mostly on the ground now." It wasn't the best explination, but who could argue it a job

"No, no. Don't apologize! What you said was prefectly correct." Thunder Flare replied quickly, her eyes widening. "And, yes, I know that. I just don't know how to, to it. When I was just a foal, my parents taught me to look down on everypony except royalty. They said that I was too amazing to be bothered with them." Thunder paused, unsure of to continue. But she plunged ahead anyway. "Both my parents passed in a wildfire. I just kinda feel that I have to do everything they taught me, or I'm letting them down. And myself." The young pegasus looked up at Color Splash, her eyes pleading for the other pegasus to understand.
When she spoke again, Thunder nodded. "Hi Splash. I'm Thunder Flare, though, I already said that. My frieー other ponies usually just call me Thunder." She had stopped herself from saying friends, and other ponies instead. The black pegasus didn't really have any friends. Thunder smiled when Splash told her of her lastest painting. "Oh." she responded when the other mare told her about her flying skills.

Color Splash blinked, nuzzling her. "It's ok. I understand that things like that can be hard." The black pony smiled, standing tall. "We can be friends. I'll bring you down to my level if It takes until next year!" Splash had to giggle, This pony might be nice to have around once plash got to know her.
"Maybe we can go to my house some time. My sister and little brother'll be happy to meet you." It seemed like splash had a second thought. "Actually....Let's just meet my sister." Splash's brother, Zatyr, was a wild pony. He might just make Thunder Flare mad.
((OOC: OMFG! I'm sorry it's SOOOOO short!!))

ooc. Don't worry about it; I've been sick and struggling a lot in RPing. :3
ic. Thunder Flare's eyes brightened as Splash spoke. She did understand her! Finally, somepony! Happiness practically radiated from her. "F-friends?" she stuttered, blinking in amazement. "Thank you! Oh, Splash! Thank you!" the young pegasus replied, glee coloring her voice. She bucked her back hooves into the air in excitement. "I have a friend!" Thunder shouted happily.
In her happiness, the black pegasus almost didn't hear Color Splash's next words. "Really?! That'd be fun!" she said, smiling. Then, the other mare spoke again. "Um. . . Okay." Thunder wouldn't let confusion bring her happiness down!

Color splash giggles as she watched Thunder Flare burst into a happiness spazz. "Yes, friends." The black pegasus blinked and nodded. "Zatyr's a little....wild." She explained. "Sun Flash, my older sister, is really nice, though. I think she'll be happy to see that I'm having a friend over."
Splash smiled and packed her things into their carry bag before hading out to the door. "C'mon, Flare. My family actually lives near by, and sis said there's be carrot cake after dinner!" Carrot cake just happened to be Color Splash's favorate desert, so she couldn't wait to get home or to share some with her new friend. Splash visited her sister and brother often, even though she lived alone down in pony ville.
"When we get there, I'll bed dinner'll be ready. My sister is an amazing cook. She's a paistry chef too, so her cakes and stuff are amazing!" The pegasus blinked. "Oh! And mother and father'll be home soon! They're off work for the weekend!" That kind of made splash think and she smiled at Flare. "You know. Once we're realy good friends, we'll be just like sisters...Then my family'll be yours too!"
((XD I could see Zatyr messing around when they meet and flying into a wall. What would flare think? XD lawl And I'm sorry it took me so long. I'm on so many rp sites that It gets hard to keep track of which is where. IT won't happen again, though.))

ooc. I have to admit- I thought you had left this site. I was thinking 'Oh crap! What am I gonna do with Thunder now?' xD Either way, I'm glad you're back. =3
ic. "Sun Flash. . . Color Splash." she murmured to herself, then grinned at Color Splash. "Your name rhymes with your sister's!" Thunder Flare said, her eyes twinkling. "You're so lucky; I was an only-filly." the black mare exclaimed. She suppressed a shiver of excitement at hearing Splash call her a friend. Ah, that was something Thunder could never get used. In a good way.
Confusion clouded the pegasus's eyes at the mention of 'carrot cake'. Since Splash had told her that Sun Flash was a pastry chief, she assumed it was a kind of pastry. "Um, Splash? What's a carrot cake?" Thunder Flare asked, interest cutting through the haze of confusion. "I've never heard of one, but you seem quite excited about it." she stepped forward, intrigued. I hope it is something cool! The black pegasus thought hopefully.
Splash's next statement set doubt free in her mind. Sisters? I seriously doubt Color Splash would enjoy that. Thunder told herself. She hesitated whether to say that or not; she decided against it. Instead, the black pegasus just plastered a grin on her face, hoping it was believable.

Splash let her jaw drop. "You have never heard of carrot cake?" There was a look of playful disbelief. "No way! Well...It's a cake that tastes like carrots, and it has vanilla frosting on top with a carrot made of frosting on every slice! It tastes REALLY good!" Splash went on about other paistries like eclairs, cream pies, and the such until what Thunder Flare said about her being lucky registered.
Color Splash took her time to think about her family. "Yea. Mother thought it might be nice to have rhyming names for us all, but it's hard to find a male name like that for a golden pony. Oh. We aren't all pegasai eather. Father's an earth pony, so my sister doesn't have wings." Splash had to giggle. "You aren't an only-filly any more! I consider my friends to be a part of my family. I'm gonna warn you, though, my wild brother might get annoying, though. He's always doing dangerous things and flying into walls and stuff. I think he's a little crazy."
((Me? Leave? this is the only MLP:FiM rp site out there...seriously. I would give up one of my other sites before I left this one!))

Thunder Flare's own jaw dropped as Color Splash went on to describe all of the pastries. A thin clench in her stomach told her how hungry she was, followed by a loud rumble. Her cheeks flushed; it was clear that the pegasus was embarrassed. "Sorry; just a bit hungry. And all though sound seriously good." She grinned, then nodded at Splash's next statement. "That's interesting." the young mare mused. "What about. . . . Wind Bash? Or something along those lines." Thunder replied in response to Zypher's out-of-place name.
And then Color Splash mentioned being family. Again, she summoned that fake grin and plastered it on her maw. "Seriously?"ーa stab of guilt and doubtー"That's awesome!" The sharp sting of tears bit at the corners of her eyes again, but Thunder hastily blinked them back. What was it about those words that actually caused pain?
