//------------------------------// // Role Reversal // Story: Opposite Sides // by TheFanficFanPony //------------------------------// Boom! The 2 fillies landed on the ground as both rubbed their heads. "Where are we?" Sweetie Belle asked, standing up. "Like, I have no idea." Diamond Tiara replied, sweat glistening on her fore head as she looked at Sweetie. Suddenly, both ponies stared at each other. Then they stared at themselves. "Agh!!!!!!!!" they both screamed. They were both sort of transparent, and Sweetie poked herself, her hoof shaking as she stuck it through herself. She braced herself, but it didn't hurt. Suddenly, the confused enemies heard a school bell ring, and duck under a near by bush. A hoard of fillies trotted out of the school house. A filly that looked like Sweetie Belle and a filly that looked like Diamond Tiara trotted out. The hiding fillies' jaws dropped as the impossible unfolded in front of them. "I can't believe you don't have your cutie mark yet." Other Sweetie said, waving her flank high in the air. On it was a picture of a crown with a bell gem on it. "What special talent does she have?" Sweetie whispered. "Honestly, I have no idea about mine either. I mean, like, its just a tiara." Diamond whispered. They were enemies, but in this crazy world, they had to stick together. "Umm..." Other Dia said shyly, her lavender and white mane falling over her face. "Of course, and you don't have any friends either." Other Sweetie snickered, another Scootaloo and Apple Bloom coming up behind her. "I do too!" Other Diamond shouted, trying to be brave. "Only that Blank Flank Silver Spoon, and she's sick today!" Other Apple taunted, pointing to her own flank. On it was an apple with a little bloom on it. "Those don't look like the kind of cutie marks we'll have." Sweetie Belle murmured to herself. "You're still totally invited to my cute ceañera tomorrow night!" Other Sweetie said, trotting in a circle around Other Dia. The three fillies giggled as they trotted away. "Give me a break." Other Dia muttered. The two normal fillies looked at each other, wearing similarly surprised expressions. "We've gotta help her!" Sweetie Belle said. "She can't see us though, and besides, why should I listen to you?" Diamond replied. "We're in a different world, everything makes absolutely no sense at all, and we are the only ponies here who are new here. We should stick together." Sweetie explained. "Guess that makes sense." Dia reasoned. "But how can we help her if she can't see us?" "I have a spell Twilight taught me that can let ponies see invisible stuff, but it's really tough." Sweetie offered. "You hafta try." Dia said. Sweetie's horn began to glow again, as she focused primarily on Other Diamond as she used the spell. "Now we have to see if it worked." Sweetie said, as she and Dia trotted towards Other Dia. Hopefully they could help her, and find out how to get back home. The Other Diamond Tiara looked up as the two fillies trotted over to her. "Wh-who are you?" Other Dia said as the fillies looked at her. "Well, it's kinda hard to explain..." Sweetie Belle trailed off. "I'm Diamond Tiara!" Dia smiled. "And this is Sweetie Belle!" "No way!" Other Dia said. Sweetie shyly trotted toward the other Dia, tentative to the other Sweetie being so mean. "Uh... hi!" Sweetie said. "Hey, why don't you have your cutie mark?" Other Dia asked. "I dunno." Sweetie responded. "I've got mine!!!!" Diamond bragged, waving her cutie mark in the air. "Wow!" Other Dia smiled, eyes gleaming. "Wait. How'd you get here? I mean, you're just like me and my classmates." "It's a long story." Sweetie said. After a short time, Sweetie explained the whole story to Other Diamond. Also, she was getting tired of calling her that. "What's your name?" Diamond asked. "Diamond Dust. I'm guessing that's your name too?" Other Dia answered. "Nope, it's Diamond Tiara, like my cutie mark!" Diamond explained. "And are you named Beauty Bell?" Dust asked, gesturing to Sweetie Belle. "Close, I'm Sweetie Belle!" Sweetie replied. "Cool! So you're from another universe or something?" Dust smiled. "Ee-yup!" Sweetie smiled. "You two should come to my house, since you don't have anywhere to stay!" Dust smiled. "But how will you explain to your family?" Diamond asked. "Oh, I know how." Dust smiled. The three new friends trotted to Diamond Dust's house, Diamond Tiara and Sweetie wondered exactly where they would end up next.
