Rainbow Dash: Logging In


Rainbow Dash stretched her hooves up into the air, rising late as always.

"Aw, yeah. That was the most awesome dream, and this is the perfect time to be up."

A tortoise with a propeller attached to his shell rose up to eye level.

"Hey, Tank. What's up?"

He didn't reply, but instead dropped a pair of "rainbow-zig-zag" (as she had put it) goggles on her bed.

"Hey, thanks! You're the awesomest turtle a pegasus could have," she said, grinning, as she rubbed the top of his head.

Tank gave her a slow smile.

Rainbow Dash roughly shoved the rainbow goggles onto her face, and her eyes gleamed white as a bodysuit colored cyan a shade darker than her coat with a streamlined rainbow cone in the center spread over her body. Feeling the slick new fabric, she wandered over to a mirror to check herself out. Seeing herself in the mirror, a wide grin spread across her face.

"Whoa! I look like the awesomest pegasus in Equestria! I mean, not that I don't normally look like the awesomest pegasus in Equestria."

The rainbow cone started to glow white, and a rainbow whirlwind swirled around her.

*****************************

With a crack of lightning, Rainbow Dash appeared in a virtual cloud home just like hers. She flexed, and struck a cool pose.

A wide grin spread across her face.

"Aw yeah! This is so amazing!"

A rainbow portal appeared in front of her, and small sparks of lightning began to flicker inside it.

HELLO PLAYER NAME HERE PLEASE PLACE YOUR HOOF INSIDE THE PORTAL

Rainbow Dash raised one eyebrow, but stuck her hoof inside the portal anyway, just to prove how brave and awesome she was.

In fact, she not only stuck her hoof, but her entire upper body inside.

"hElLo RAinbouw Daaaash. Howwow are yooooooouuu doing tODay?

The portal fizzled, and it swirled into a blank rainbow pony.

"stAAte the COLOR you wouuuuld like mE to be.

Rainbow Dash feigned thoughtfulness for a moment, then exploded, "Blue! Definitely blue!"

The pony turned the same color as Rainbow's coat.

"Staaaate the *kzzt* maaaaaaiiiiiii-" It crackled, and then the link established when Rainbow had stuck her upper body inside the portal kicked in. It knew.

It knew how She wanted it to look.

It knew how She wanted it to talk.

It knew how She wanted it to think.

It knew exactly who it should be.

It would be the pony that Rainbow Dash would want it to be.

A rainbow mane and tail appeared, the exact same style as Rainbow Dash's.

Two cyan wings appeared.

Two eyes appeared, the exact same color as Rainbow's eyes.

A cutie mark appeared, and it was the only thing that showed that she was not identical.

It was a storm cloud with rainbow lightning bolts jutting out from odd angles.

The eyes fluttered open, and the portal said her first true words. They seemed too reverent, too awestruck for what they were.

"Hey, Rainbow Dash. What's up?"
