Twilight once told Spike that he was the new Rainbow Dash. One day, Rainbow Dash wakes up to discover that she has turned into a dragon just like Spike! What happened to her? Where is Spike? And can she be turned back to normal?

Rainbow Dash is visiting relatives in the northern part of Equestria when she stumbles upon a block of ice frozen in a cavern in the mountains. Upon touching the ice, she awakens an ancient Pegasus, Fjord Runner. The ancient flier has been in his frozen prison since before the rule of Celestia, Luna, and even Discord! Now that he has revived, he has a lot to learn about the modern world. It's going to take everything Dash has to show him the ropes, and not be killed by this Nordic warrior.

...yeah, this won't end well.

Story based on an awesome fic by Aegis Shield called Twilight and the Spartan Stallion.

Discord returns from a long imprisonment in stone once more. He does this as Rainbow Dash faces a moment of weakness. Seeing an opportunity, he plots to destroy both her reputation, and her sanity, and step over the other five to take back the throne. Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash must wrestle with the idea of mentoring the flightless filly, Scootaloo, as well as dealing with nightmares created by Discord to break her down.

Rainbow Dash closed her eyes, trying to think about anything but the straps that bound her to the wooden board. She cracked one eye open just enough to see Applejack, smiling mouth full of the knives that would soon be racing though the air towards her. The things some ponies will do for love...

When Pinkie Pie gets saved from almost certain death, she starts to develop feelings for the one who saved her. The only problem with that is the one who saved her...is a MARE! So its up to her to decide if she really likes her and if she can gather up the courage to tell her friends, family, and, most importantly, her crush.

A short trip to Canterlot with Rainbow Dash and Applejack is the perfect opportunity for Twilight to test out her new long-distance Teleportation spell. But a nasty cold dashes the hopes of a quick trip, and makes the spell disappear in smoke: instead of arriving in Canterlot, the three find themselves in the nearby Everfree Forest, and discover that their location is not the only thing that went wrong.

While Rainbow has exchanged her wings and tail for a straw blond tail, Applejack has acquired a rainbow tail as well as a pair of strong, blue wings.

While Twilight attempts to find a spell to return the body parts to their rightful owners, the others must attempt to deal with this situation... and with their changing feelings.

Rainbow Dash is a well-known pegasus mare in Ponyville, but her parents know her as a colt, Sonic Dash. When they come to visit, she must confront both her parents and her friends with the truth of her identity. Will her parents accept her as their daughter instead of their son, and how will her friends handle the secret she has kept from them for so long? A story about family, gender identity, growing up with the wrong body, and, of course, friendship.

Frequently Asked Questions

In Putting Your Hoof Down, Fluttershy only got a chance to dismantle Pinkie and Rarity. What if Twilight, Dash, and AJ were there too? Pic by John Joseco.

My name is Rainbow Dash and today I learned something new. I learned I'm actually a changeling. You'd think that would be something you would already know. I just learned it now when I saw my true self for the first time. How did I come to replace the real Rainbow Dash, and when? And why can't I remember it?

King Sombra wants his old empire back, but he's become weak and needs to feed. He looks for help, and what he does is unexpected. He finds Princess Luna and re-corrupts her to return to Nightmare Moon, brakes Discord from his stone prison, gives Trixie back the alicorn amulet, and finds Queen Chrysalis and her changelings. They go to take back The Crystal Empire as a team. This is so the six friends can't stop all of them together. After they take back Sombra's Empire they decide to take all of Equestria, and what happens will make all of Equestria's history change.
