The 5th Alicorn

Part 3

I took a whiff of the fresh air. It felt good to finally go outside. I felt the grass. It felt amazing.

I heard a squeak from in my backpack. I looked at it. Blue, with his little head and paws hanging out, was pointing toward a dirt path. I went to it and started walking. It was an hour before I came to a train station. A ticket booth was next to the train tracks. I walked up to it. A stallion was in their. He was a unicorn, had red main and tail, and blue skin. His cutie mark was two hooves shaking hooves. The stallion looked at me and smiled.

"Hello, my name is Happymark. How may I help you today?" Happymark asked. His dark blue eyes sparkled. His smile shined in the sunlight.

I blushed. "Well, um... I need tickets to the nearest town."

"Okie dokie! Let's see..." Happymark started looking through some papers. Then, he looked back at me. "The nearest town is Canterlot. Heres a ticket." Happymark gave me one. I started to hand him money but he refused. "Hey, its on the house."

I smiled. "Thank you so much!" I galloped to the train tracks and started to wait. Happymark went towards me and stopped were I was. He looked at me. I looked at him.

"Um... We don't get a lot of business around here. So, maybe i could wait with you until your train arrives." Happymark said, blushing. I nodded. 10 minutes later, the train came. I said goodbye to him, climbed aboard, gave a stallion my ticket, and sat down in a booth.

This was the first time i have ever been on a train, without my family.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

When i got to Canterlot, i looked for a place to stay. After a lot of searching, i came to an art shop. Since i loved color, and art, that was the best place for me to be.

When i walked in, the place was empty. Except for a mare pegasus behind a counter.

The mare had red skin , curly yellow mane and tail, and a paint brush with a pencil cutie mark. She looked up at me and smiled.

"Hello! Welcome to Fire Art! My name is FireHeart. How may i help you?"

I walked up to the counter and also smiled. "Hi, FireHeart! Well, i just love art. And i need to relax. So, i thought i could chill out for a bit."

"Sure! Theres a chair over there." She pointed her hoof towards an interesting bean bag chair.

"Thanks!" I said, then walked over and sat down. I sank into it. It was comfy.

A few minutes later, a stallion opened the door and ran through. He was holding a knife and covered up his cutie mark and face with a suit. He pointed the knife at FireHeart.

"Give me all of your money, or else!" He shouted. Scared, she stood still. "DO IT!" She rummaged through the cash register and started taking out money. Sweat poured on her face.

I had to do something. This stallion couldn't get away with this.

I ran in front of him. "You stay away!"

He laughed. "Get away from me, you little mare." Blood boiled from inside me. How DARE he make fun of mares!

Rainbow magic erupted from my horn and crashed into him. He crashed to the floor.

I turned to FireHeart. "Call the police, now!" She nodded and dialed them.

After the cops came, and we got the shop cleaned up, FireHeart and I were dusting on the counter.

"Again, thanks for saving my shop." She thanked me.

"No problem!" I said back.

"How can I thank you enough?..." She asked herself. Then, lighting up her face, she raced into the storage room. A few minutes later, FireHeart came back with a small sculpture. It was a blue alicorn, with hot pink hair. The alicorn had black glasses, and was reading a book. She was also laying down on a cloud.

"This is one of my stores best pieces of art. I want you to have it." She hoofed it to me. "After all, my store probably wouldn't of made it without you."

"Thanks so much!" I put it in my bag, carefully.

"No, thank you!" FireHeart responded.  "So, what is my heroes name?" She smiled.

"ColorWing."

"Nice to meet you, ColorWing!" She greeted. Then, it was silent. 

After a few minutes, i spoke. "Um... Can i have a favor?"

She nodded. "Yes! Anything!"

"Ok, so... I just came into Canterlot. I don't have anywhere to stay. Can i, um..." I couldn't finish the sentence.

"Of course you can stay here! I was about to close the shop for the night. Follow me." FireHeart agreed. I let out a sigh of relief. I didn't know what i would do if i didn't have a place to stay.

After flipping the OPEN sign to the CLOSED sign, i followed her upstairs. That was where her home was. When i walked in, i was already comfortable. It had light blue walls, two beds (on the same wall), two windows (one by each of the beds), a dresser, a cabinet, a dish washer, an oven, a microwave, a table, 4 chairs, and a fridge. 

I galloped over to one of the beds, laid down, and closed my eyes. Then, i took a deep breath.

()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()()

A few hours later,  when FireHeart was asleep, i was still awake. Blue was sleeping in an open drawer in the dresser, next to me, wrapped in a scarf.

I looked out the window. Even though it was night, colorful lights from the city shone below. It was pretty. Then, i saw the lights begin to go gray.

"Uh oh." I whispered to myself. "I have to renew the color."  Then, i pointed my horn to the night sky. Rainbow magic shot out. It covered the city below, then went on into the black abyss. After that, everything returned back to normal.

Oh, i didn't tell you? I am the princess of color. Without me, there would be no color, no joy...

No magic.
