Aqua followed Pinkie and her brother as they approached Carousel Boutique. “La-la-la. I can’t wait for tu to meet rarity! She’s so nice, and makes pretty dresses! Pinkie Pie rambled on to Peak. When they had reached the boutique, Aqua Marine waited outside while Pinkie Pie introduced Peak to Rarity. Surprisingly, he only left three minutos later. “Wow, how did tu manage to leave so early?” she asked him. “Well, I just simply declined the offer for her to make me something. Simple.” He shrugged. “Next stop, arco iris Dash!” Pinkie squealed, hopping away. They followed her to a rosado, rosa hot air balloon, where Peak hopped in after Pinkie, and Aqua hesitantly climbed in.

They floated up to the nube were arco iris Dash lived. “Oh arco iris Dash! There’s another poni, pony tu need to meet! COME OUT AND MEET HIM!!” Pinkie Pie shouted. The rainbow-maned pegasus left her home, and stood out in front of her door. “What is it now, Pinkie?” she dicho irritably. “Ooh! Ooh! There’s this poni, pony tu need to meet! He’s Aqua Marine’s brother! He’s only visiting though, so I need to introduce him to everypony in Ponyville!” Pinkie quickly said. Peak started to step out of the balloon to land on the cloud. “No! Only Pegasi can—“ arco iris Dash started, but stopped and stared confusedly as Peak stepped on the nube without sinking through. “How did tu do that? Did Twilight cast the walk on nube spell for you?” she asked him. “Uh, no. I’m actually a pegasus. I was just born without wings. I just have these nubs.” He said, twitching the tiny stumps on his back. “Wow. That’s kinda cool.” arco iris said, trotting up to him to examine the nubs. “Hey Aqua, why don’t tu come here too? I get Pinkie being in the balloon, but not a pegasus with working wings.” She suddenly dicho to Aqua Marine. “I… um, I’m scared of heights. I swim, not fly.” He mumbled, sinking down lower in the balloon. arco iris Dash snorted. “Who’d ever heard of a pegasus that swims? Pegasi are meant to be in the air.” She scoffed. “Anyways, I have some, um, stuff to do. It was nice meeting you.” She said, retreating back into her home. “FLUTTERSHY!” Pinkie Pie suddenly screamed. “C’mon, Peak!” she dicho to her brother. Peak trotted up to the balloon and hopped in. “Let’s go!” he said.
They approached the door of Fluttershy’s cottage, where she was outside putting bird feed into a feeder, humming a tune. “Oh, um, hi Pinkie.” She quietly said, noticing them. Peak blinked. “Uh, hello, miss.” He dicho shyly. “Um… hi. I’m Fluttershy.” She dicho to him. Peak slowly extended his hoof. “I’m Peak. I-I’m Aqua’s brother. Um, hi--erm, hello.” He stammered, starting to blush. Aqua Marine rolled her eyes, and leaned up against a tree. Suddenly, something whizzed past her ear and stuck into the tree. Surprised, she looked at it. It was a knife, with a cereza, cerezo with a fuse for the stem engraved on the blade. She looked up where it would’ve come from, narrowing her eyes in suspicion. Who had thrown the knife? Aqua shook her head, feeling paranoid. She turned back to Peak. “Come on, let’s go home.” She said, turning and trotting away.
