Color to the Gray.
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterRainbow Dash jumped back after the girl turned around.
"Pinkie! That's a human, we're not supposed to be seen by any of them!", Dash said eyes widened and preparing for what the little girl might do.
Pinkie giggled, "Aw come on Dashie, it's not going to hurt you." Pinkie tilted a hoof at Dash. Pinkie turned back to the girl, "What's your name? Mine's Pinkie Pie, nice to meet you!", Pinkie said with a smile and hoof placed in front of her for a hoof bump.
The girl just started shaking out of fear and backed away from Pinkie's hoof, she never had seen anything like this. The past few days have been some of the most confusing and terrifying days of her life. She didn't know how to respond. Pinkie's smile started to disappear.
"What's wrong?", Pinkie asked with a concerned look, she had never seen anything deny her greeting like this.
The girl just backed up against a wall and turned her head clenching her eyes shut. Rainbow Dash started to get annoyed.
"We don't have time for this, Pinkie Pie! We're not even supposed to be seen by any human! She could be extremely dangerous for all we know, she-", Dash yelled from the window when the girl finally spoke up.
"It's, Marie Lee.", She responded still shaking against the wall.
Pinkie smiled again, "Nice to meet ya Marie Lee!", Pinkie said walking up attempting to give her another hoof bump.
The girl looked at Pinkie's hoof and slowly put her hand on it, and shook hands/hoofs with her. "Nice.. to meet you too..", She whispered barely being heard by Pinkie Pie.
"Pinkie, let's go, we can't even be near her! Come on.", Rainbow Dash tugged at Pinkie's mane. Pinkie escaped Dash's tug, and turned around to give the Marie a hug. Pinkie put her head next to Marie's.
"Aw come on Dashie, just look at her.", Pinkie said with a frown and puppy eyes. "She doesn't have anyone here, it's completely empty in this neighborhood, where will she go? Who will take care of her? Who will go to her, -Gasp!- Her birthday parties!? There's nobody in this neighborhood! She can't have a birthday party by herself!", Pinkie said, with Marie looking up at her with confusion.
Rainbow Dash face hoofed. "I already made a Pinkie promise to Twilight that I wouldn't even encounter her species, Pinkie.", Dash said.
Pinkie still continued with her puppy eyed stare. Dash didn't budge.
Pinkie finally responded, "Fine, you don't have to. I'll take care of her.", Pinkie said.
Rainbow Dash face hoofed again, "Pinkie, seriously this isn't a joke.", Dash said removing her hoof from her face.
"We aren't currently in any danger, right? She didn't attack us yet, right? I don't understand why you say her kind is so dangerous? Just look at her.", Pinkie said putting her said face next to Marie's. Rainbow Dash sighed.
"Pinkie. If you're so sure.. Then.. Maybe for a littl-", Dash said before being interrupted.
"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!", Pinkie said giving Rainbow Dash a hug. "You won't regret i-", She said, stopping mid sentence she stopped embracing Rainbow Dash and backed up. Pinkie's smile immediately disappeared as she looked past dash with widened eyes, through the window behind her. Marie ducked under the pile of clothes again. The ground started to violently shake. Rainbow Dash quickly turned around and looked out the window and saw it.
An explosion, off in the distance. The sudden light from the explosion, cause the room to light up. It engulfed the darkness of the night. Dash's pupils shrunk. She turned and dove at Pinkie.
"GET DOWN!", Rainbow Dash yelled as she dove on top of Pinkie. Both of them landed on the ground as the window glass shattered, throwing pieces of the glasses everywhere. Rainbow Dash's watch flew off from her neck and out the door of the room. The glass shards flew into both of Rainbow Dash's wings. She clenched her teeth trying to prevent herself from screaming from the pain, the stinging pain was unbearable. After a few seconds when all the glass was all over the room, the shaking stopped.
Rainbow Dash slowly got up from Pinkie Pie, and looked around with heavy breath. Glass was shattered everywhere. She turned and looked at her wing, as it was slowly leaking blood from the small glass shards that impaled her wings. Dash clenched her teeth again as she tried to flap her wings. She hissed from the pain, flapping only made the pain worse.
Great., Dash thought. First day here, and now I can't even fly!
Pinkie slowly rose to her hoofs, shaking her head. "That was crazy! What was that all about?", She said shaking her head. Pinkie walked past Rainbow Dash and looked out the now empty window. She looked out to where the explosion was. All that was there now, was a smoke mushroom cloud, looming over.
"Woah...", Pinkie said with her eyes widening.
The pile of clothes shifted again, as Marie crawled out. Fortunately the glass shards flew into the clothes but didn't manage to reach her underneath all of them.
Pinkie immediately turned around and gave Marie a hug. "I'm so glad you're okay! That was crazy, wasn't it! There was an explosion! And Dash dove at me! And everything got shaky! And-", Pinkie stopped when she saw Marie with tears trickling down her face. Marie gave Pinkie Pie a hug back, Pinkie stood there speechless, not knowing how to respond.
Rainbow Dash continued to look at her wing and trying to come up with solutions as to how to fly again. Pinkie Pie looked up at Dash, "Dashie, Are you okay?", Pinkie asked.
Rainbow Dash tried to play it cool, "Yeah. I'm fine. We need to get out of here as soon as.." Rainbow Dash stopped, and looked around herself again. "Where is it!?", She panicked.
Pinkie Pie looked at her, head tilted. "Where is what?", Pinkie asked.
Rainbow Dash continued to spin around looking all around her. "My watch! Where did it go??", She looked around in a panic again. Rainbow Dash galloped out of the room. She looked across the hall and saw it laying next to the stair case going down stairs. She sighed a breath of relief as she walked over to get it. She stopped half way across the hall. And saw shadows against the wall. She heard a door open, as many voices came in. Rainbow Dash slowly tip hoofed over to the watch. She opened her mouth to grab the watch back. She got it in her teeth when she suddenly heard yelling. She turned her head and looked downstairs to see 3 men running up it. They hadn't spotted her yet, but they definitely heard something.
She galloped back to the room with the watch in her mouth, and shut the door with her chest heaving back in forth. A gunshot could be heard from within the hallway.
"We need to get out of here!", Rainbow Dash loudly whispered to her friends, with terror in her eyes.. Pinkie put a hoof to her mouth to think of what to do. Suddenly she pulled her party cannon from behind here, out of nowhere.
"Pinkie! This is no time for-", Rainbow Dash whispered before the door behind her was being slammed against. They were trying to kick the door open! Dash tried her best until the door was finally kicked open and she flung across the room.
The three men entered the room with guns pointed.
-BOOM-
Pinkie's cannon exploded and launched party decorations everywhere, and sent the 3 men flying out of the room, slamming against the wall behind them.
Pinkie pie grabbed Marie by the shirt and lifted her to her back, "Hang on!", She told her new friend. She galloped to rainbow Dash and put a hoof in front of her, "Get up, you silly goose! This is no time for resting." She said.
Dash opened her eyes with the room hazy. She saw Pinkies hoof, and grabbed it to pull herself up. Rainbow Dash slowly got up and shook her head trying to get rid of the haziness. She looked at dash after her eyes correcting themselves and gave her a nod in understanding. Both of them ran out of the room, past the three bodies that were knocked out and ran downstairs. They both looked out the window.
Both of their mouths opened as they saw it.
The streets swarmed with nazi's.
