((This open to all)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Acrylic wasn't a very patient pony to begin with, but this noble pony he was painting was a noble paint in the flank. "Maybe I should try this side, after all it is my best side..." The aristocratic pony mused to himself as Acrylic's eye twitched, painting took time, that he didn't mind. But what he did mind was narcissistic ponies such as this one. He sighed shaving a bit, getting ready to explode at any moment. "How about... We try this again next week." He suggested but when it seemed that the pony didn't hear him he just got up and left him there. After packing his things Acrylic trotted down the streets of Canterlot wanting to get his mind off of that stallion and his blood to stop boiling with anger. Acrylic sighed once more trying to calm down before he blew up on some innocent pony and looked around at the city wondering what to do. Acrylic had been rubbed the wrong way by the pony at that moment he didn't even notice that he was outside without his cloak on in all his spotted glory.

The two stallions came out from under the table one completely shocked the other just sighed. "Honestly, you make a big deal out of nothing all the time brother." Fresco said to his brother as other two stallions stared at him disbelievingly. "Right..." Acrylic said rolling his eyes before trotting into the house. "Guys, this is my friend Dawn. Dawn this is my cousin Fresco and my cousin Emulsion." He said introducing them to one another.

Fresco couldn't help but smile and laugh at the two mares talking among one another. In fact they reminded him very much of his mother and late Aunt (Acrylic and War Paint's mum), spacing out for a moment himself Fresco quickly shook those thoughts away, there was no need to hold such depressing thoughts at this moment. He had guest to entertain, and being one of the most polite ponies in Canterlot he was sure going to make sure that they were entertained.

"Well..." War Paint started a blushed slightly "My brother got his cutie mark before me as did every pony else in my class. I didn't get mine until I was a grown mare. That can be embarrassing." War Paint explained and then perked up a bit "But no pony ever teased me because, well, you know... Every pony was frightened of me.... And still are." War Paint said then she added a comment at the end softly. Else Where, Luminous and Neon had stopped to get a bite to eat. "So what are we doing tonight mama?" Neon questioned as Luminous sipped her drink. "Well darling daughter, we're going to see an up and coming brass band playing." She explained as Neon nodded smiling. She loved days out with her mother, because her mother always planned out the whole day.

"That's neat, mine's a morning star, a sheild and a sword. Basically it means no matter what, I can easily defend myself and the ones I care about. I got it when I was fighting a manticore to save my squad. I won, of course." War Paint said and then blushed slightly, "it's kind of embarrassing that I got my cutie mark later on." She mumbled

Acrylic sat outside of the house wheezing trying to catch his breath. As Dawn wondered around the house, Acrylic's cousins where under the table. "Let me go Emulsion!" Fresco hissed at his brother who was holding him back and rather tightly I might add.

"A couple times, it's mostly used by the rest of us gaurds as traditional test of bravery to welcome new ponies in to the forces. I was out here for my turn in here for the test and I was here last month because one new recuit got lost and didn't find his way out. Sure Whitetail isn't as dangerous as the Everfree but it can be dangerous if you're some pony with a bad sense of direction." War Paint explained calmly to Darkness

"oh it's quite alright. I have bits of staring spells myself so I cannot judge." Fresco said waving Delilah off in a polite and classy way that he was known for. "But I dare to ask, why in Equestia were you spacing out for?" he questioned Delilah.

"Alright." War Paint said getting up and heading towards the woods like Darkness wanted. She had no idea why he wanted to go there of all places but whatever happens she was sure she could handle it. ((And she was never seen again... Jk ))

Acrylic knocked on the door and said "hey guys let me in my hooves are full!" he shouted before running to the bushes. "It's about time he showed up!" Fresco said as the two of them trotted over to the door and opened it. "What took you so long Acry-." Fresco said but was then cut off by his brother's rather girlish scream "Tis the headless pony! It's come to take thine souls!" He shouted grabbing Fresco and running back inside the house and hiding under the kitchen table. When Acrylic could not hold in any longer he fell out of the bushes and laughed as hard as he ever did. "That was so funny!" He said laughing with tears in his eyes.

"Pleasure to meet you Darkness. Maybe you should stop by at the house for dinner later on." Acrylic said with a blank face, as War Paint got off of Darkness. "That's a great idea!" War Paint said grinning as Acrylic sighed and said "Please don't be so loud War, I have head ache. That Blue Blood brat made me make yet another painting of him." War Paint blushed and then rubbed her little brother's head "Sorry." She said in quieter voice "See you around." She said as Acrylic nodded and then trotted off.

Elsewhere in Canterlot there was a tall slender mare with a wavy orange mane trotting down the street with a rather tall filly trotting beside her. "So what are we going to do mum?" Neon asked her mother Luminous who smiled as she lowered her sun glasses. "Well first my dear daughter we're going to run around Canterlot and shop at serval places that you're mommy has to stop at, and then we're going to stop to get something to eat and after that we're going to go to the spa to have some mommy-daughter time!" She said explaining to her daughter as Neon smiled brightly. Having quality time with her mother for Neon was rare considering how busy the mare was with work. Unlike the rest of the Paint family Luminous didn't make art for the castle. Luminous special talent was making other ponies and their special talents shine and that's why she was a talent agent, being an agent like that and a single mum kept Luminous busy and she hardly got to spend time with her child, of whom she adored, and so this trip around Canterlot was a very special treat for the both of them. "Hey mum look at that stallion!" Neon said pointing at a tall stallion coming out of a clothing shop, Luminous sighed "Neon dear, I'm not looking for a special somepony so please, stop trying to set me up." She said calmly scolding her daughter as Neon pouted "I just want you to be happy mum." Luminous smiled softly and roughed up her daughter's hair with her hoof "I know." She said as the two went on trotting down the road together.

"No problem." He said smiling before he stopped "Oh! Looks like we're here already." He said stopping infront of a small house that looked like most of the houses in Ponyville. Inside could be heard to stallions talking "[colour=#006400]What's taking Acrylic so long!"[/colour] [colour=#000080]"Calm down dearest brother thine cousin is safe and well!"[/colour] [colour=#006400]"I don't care about that I just want hay so we can eat! The food is getting cold!" [/colour][colour=#0000cd]"Brother thou doest realize that thou did not have to cook it right?"[/colour] [colour=#006400]"It's an expression!" [/colour][colour=#0000cd]"Myself doest think that it is a very stupid one."[/colour] Acrylic sighed, "Those two... I'm so going to enjoy this." He mumbled then turned to Dawn "If you want you can do your spell now. I'll go hide in the bushes after I knock on the door." he said

War Paint paused and blushed slightly as well. "Well than! Isn't someone getting brave!" She exclaimed happily as a shadow suddenly loomed over the two ponies. War Paint looked over and saw her brother Acrylic. "I wish I didn't see that." he said sighing before looking at Darkness. "I would say it seems like you like my sister but it's fairly obvious that you do." He said before sticking is hoof out "My name is Acrylic Paint, I'm War Paint's younger brother." he said introducing himself.

(what can I say? War Paint's pretty forceful when she wants to be) "so very cute~!" war paint sang

"why~?" war paint whined playfully " you're so cute and cuddly~!" war paint said hugging Darkness a little bit tighter but not too much to hurt him.

"Ehh...?" Acrylic questioned after letting go of Dawn's face, it took a moment for the normally anti social painter to realize what she said. "Oh! Okay! I think you're very beautiful, if I do say so myself." Acrylic said smiling as if it was nothing.

"Dawn are you okay?" Acrylic asked leaning in "Oh no! You're sick aren't you!" he said grabbing her face with his hooves. "I bet you are, you're red and your running a fever!" he exclaimed clearly worried about Dawn.

Acrylic's cheeks were stained with pink for a moment and then he trotted behind her "What's that supposed to mean?" he questioned curiously

"You sure? Is there something on my face or in my teeth?" He asked opening his mouth and pointing his hoof at his teeth.

War Paint merely smiled and said "Okay!"

Acrylic blinked in confusion and said "What? Is there something wrong?" He asked clearly confused as to why Dawn kept looking at him.

War Paint paused for a moment when Darkness licked her and then laughed and cuddled him even more. "That was so adorable~!" She sang sounding just a like a giddy school girl at the moment. Just then two recruits that was in War Paint's group of recruits walked by. "Hey isn't that Sergeant Paint?" One of them said as the other one looked over and stared for a moment then bonked the first one on the head. "Of course not stupid! She would never be caught dead doing something like that!" He said as the first one rubbed his head. "Still looks like her though." He mumbled.

Fresco raised an eyebrow at this, "Do I have something on my face?" He questioned confused as to why Delilah stared at him for so long.

Acrylic smiled "It's fine." he said calmly
