Five Rainbows

[foalingaround]

[Anyone entering the Malt Shop this afternoon may notice something veeeeery off about a couple of patrons sitting at the counter. While Rin doesn't look at all out of place, this is a hangout for teenagers after all, something's strange about her companion awkwardly sitting down next to her

Man, I thought we were done for... ♪

[foalingaround]

Didja see the look he was giving us? I thought he was gonna go for the broom there! I can't believe this disguise worked!

[doublerinbow]

Well, it's not over yet. You insisted on the helmet, now we get to figure out how you're gonna eat with it. ♪

[foalingaround]

Oh...right. I still say it's cooler looking then that fake nose and mustache.

[And the drone does bring back their shakes and fries, but he doesn't actually leave when gives them their food.]

[mylife4food]

[I am Guy and what is this. But he does stop at the table and bow politely.]

Lady Rin! It's nice to see you...and your companion.

[Yes, he's completely fooled.]

[foalingaround]

[Dash perks up at the familiar voice.]

Hey Guy! How's it hanging?

[doublerinbow]

Guy! ♪

This is my cousin Betty. She's from out of town!

Play along, ok? ♪

[mylife4food]

[This is not confusing in the slightest, nope.]

But, um...I think I recognize Lady Betty's voice. And I am doing fine, thank you.

[The chime on the door rings as it opens to a boy carrying an empty mailbag. He'll sit himself a little ways down the counter and order a chocolate milkshake. ...He'll glance to the side when he's done.]

Oh, hi, Rin.

And, um. ...Rainbow Dash?

[foalingaround]

[Dash looks a little surprised Lucas was able to notice her so quickly, but then again she notices her tail sticking out...

She quickly regains her composure.]

Hey Lucas! You're here too, huh?

[doublerinbow]

Hello! Ahem! ♪

This is not Rainbow Dash, it's cousin Betty. From out of town!! ♪

[she exclaims loudly to dispel ALL SUSPICIONS from the drones, then whispers to Dash]

Hey Betty, maybe you should sit on your tail or something.

[a_gentle_boy]

You can sort of see the mane coming out the sides, too. ...Hair. ...Did you really want a milkshake that much?

[perfektsymmetry]

[Oh, it's Rin! And... is that a pony? Well okay then.]

Good afternoon, ah, ladies...?

[foalingaround]

How's it going there?

[Aha, is her disguise really working? Maybe she ought to use it for pranking sometime.]

[doublerinbow]

Hey Crowe! ♪ What's new?

[Nothin' to see here, man]

[perfektsymmetry]

Hi. Um. Not much, I suppose.

[Just

looking at the pony trying to figure out what's going on when it dawns on him. He lives with Twilight Sparkle, after all, and knows how the drones view animals in this town. He sits down at the table and leans close to Rainbow Dash, speaking in a hushed town.]

Ah, I see this is actually working for you?

[notlikethemovie]

I'd recommend a salad next time. That should work a bit better.

[Mika huffs as she limps up to the counter a little way away from them. Her sensitive hearing made it easier to pick up the conversation as she came in the door.]

Looks like you're going to need to find a costumer if you two plan on doing this often.

[foalingaround]

What are ya talking about? This helmet thing is totally cool!

[notlikethemovie]

The helmet? Just fine. But I think I'd be more concerned about the rest of it. It doesn't exactly match well.

[doublerinbow]

... Well, we were doing pretty good until the dress. What, do you know a good costumer? ♪

[she's checking out those ears and that tail. They look pretty real.]
