Aqua followed Pinkie and her brother as they approached Carousel Boutique. “La-la-la. I can’t wait for آپ 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 منٹ later. “Wow, how did آپ 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, قوس قزح Dash!” Pinkie squealed, hopping away. They followed her to a گلابی hot air balloon, where Peak hopped in after Pinkie, and Aqua hesitantly climbed in.

They floated up to the بادل were قوس قزح Dash lived. “Oh قوس قزح Dash! There’s another ٹٹو آپ 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 کہا irritably. “Ooh! Ooh! There’s this ٹٹو آپ 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—“ قوس قزح Dash started, but stopped and stared confusedly as Peak stepped on the بادل without sinking through. “How did آپ do that? Did Twilight cast the walk on بادل 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.” قوس قزح said, trotting up to him to examine the nubs. “Hey Aqua, why don’t آپ come here too? I get Pinkie being in the balloon, but not a pegasus with working wings.” She suddenly کہا to Aqua Marine. “I… um, I’m scared of heights. I swim, not fly.” He mumbled, sinking down lower in the balloon. قوس قزح 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 کہا 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 کہا shyly. “Um… hi. I’m Fluttershy.” She کہا 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 چیری, آلو بالو 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.
