//------------------------------// // Two Rainbows At The Pool // Story: Princess Twilight’s Yacht Vacation // by Lonely Fanboy48 //------------------------------// While Princess Twilight is getting used to the room she’s sleeping in, her friend Rainbow Dash tries to make the best impression for her counterpart. Sunset takes Rainbow to Rainbow’s apartment that’s all the way down the hallway. Pony Dash is really excited to meet her counterpart in this world to the point she’s screaming in her mind. “Here we are Rainbow, the apartment is where your other self is.” Sunset said as she gives Rainbow her apartment keys. “Thanks” She replied back. Rainbow went to her apartment door as she’s about to use her apartment key to unlock it. However, before she pushed the key into the hole she stood still with her arm shaking. Sunset took notice as she walks up to Rainbow. “What’s wrong?” Rainbow didn’t respond while she’s beginning to sweat. Her eyes became watery to the point her heart pounds nonstop, but it wasn’t until Sunset pulled her from the door. “Rainbow, why are you shaking and sweating?” Sunset asked. “Okay the thing is when I was thinking about talking to the Wonderbolts back in Equestria...before I became one, I always practice on how I should talk to them.” Rainbow explained. “Ok, so what’s the deal with that?” Rainbow then placed both of her hands on Sunset. “I want to do the same thing with other me!” She shouted which made Sunset rolled her eyes. “Rainbow, I understand this is going to be the first time your meeting yourself, but she’ll have the same reaction when she talks to you.” Sunset grab Rainbow’s arms to pull her off of her. “And besides, you need to get used of how she’s going to react since she doesn’t know your here.” Rainbow hadn’t even thought that her other self would’ve had any thoughts of her Pony Counterpart would ever be part of this cruise at all. During the time she got on board, she was more calm and not more concerned about Equestrian Magic unlike last time. And she also wanted to enjoy her vacation unlike last time. “Well if you say it that way then do I just say hello to her?” Rainbow tilted her head. “I guess. No offense but Twilight had reasons when she wanted her other self to come but we never thought you would come along.” “Then I’m probably going to introduce myself in the most uncool way I can thought. The only three words I really want to say is-“ Just at the time she turned around, making her way to the apartment with her key still in hand, her human counterpart was standing in front of her. Human Rainbow’s eyes we’re the same wide size the first time she saw her pony counterpart in Equestria. Her mouth was hanging open in amazement to think this moment will never happen on her second yacht vacation. Pony Dash was surprised to meet her human counterpart in a way she’s thrilled and not nervous. “Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!” Both Dashes squealing in happiness while Sunset is smirking. “Just what I thought.” Sunset commented. “Your other me, the other me I desperately wanted to talk to when I got to Equestria!” Human Dash jumping on the floor. “I was thinking the same way!” Pony Dash replied. “I think I should be by the pool, you two should have time alone.” Sunset finished while she leaves the two doppelgängers in the hall. With the two Rainbows meeting face to face for the first time, they have a lot of questions for their new but soon to build relationship. “Oh! You have no idea I’ve been dying to meet you!” “That’s exactly what I was going to say!” “Oh my gosh we’re so related!” “Come to my apartment room!” Human Dash grabs her pony counterpart’s arm as they make there way to their apartment room. When they unlock their door and enter their room, Human Rainbow and Pony Dash sit on one of the beds. “I can’t believe you're actually part of this cruise.” “Your surprised, Sunset Shimmer agreed with me to meet you since it’s one of those rare opportunities for colts like me to meet a cooler somebody like you.” Pony Dash wrapping her arm around her shoulder which made Human Dash blush. “Well, then for the second time in my life, I met a pony in Equestria only this time you met me in my world.” She giggled and so does her pony counterpart. “Anyway we shouldn’t waste time in our room together. Fluttershy told me I should spent my time on the cruise instead of finding Equestrian magic.” This made Pony Dash slightly disappointed hearing that news but Twilight mention earlier to not think too much about it. “How about we go swimming together in the pool? If I actually have a swimming suit.” This gave Human Dash an idea. “Wait! After my last vacation, I told Rarity to make a swimsuit exclusively for you.” She gets off her bed and went to her package to take out the swimsuit for Pony Dash. It’s a sparkling rainbow color one piece swimsuit that also glows in the dark. “Trust me, swimming is the only thing that calms me down.” “Wow!” Pony Dash being mesmerized at her swimsuit. “I never thought that clothing would be such important thing in this world, while also being twenty percent cooler!” “There’s a lot you haven’t seen.” Human Dash replied with her eyes lid. “Anyway we should change so we can hit the pool together.” The two counterparts entered their bathroom to change as they prepared their first moment on the cruise. Everyone but Princess Twilight is by the pool enjoying themselves as the cruise set sail on the ocean. Sunset Shimmer is in her swimsuit while putting sunscreen on. “Is Princess Twilight coming?” Fluttershy asked. “In a little bit, for right now I’m going to be in the pool for a little bit.” Sunset getting off her chair. “I haven’t met her since we got to Equestria from that portal on that inhabited island.” Rarity added. “And the fact we had to sneak in Ponyville.” Applejack added. “Can we please not talk about Equestria?” Sunset asked. “Everything is going to be fine, sure there’s obviously storms we have to deal with, but no magic will ever be the problem with it.” Then Human Twilight join in as she takes a seat by one of the tables with her friends. “Twilight is about to be here any minute.” She said as she takes a drink of her glass. Sunset who knows that Twilight who isn’t aware that two Rainbow Dashes are on board, walks up to her to give her the new information. “Twilight, not meaning to confuse you, but remember when you wanted me to have Princess Twilight come along on this trip?” She recalled as Twilight nodded to answer Sunset’s question. “Well...somepony else wanted to come and…Twilight accepted it.” This gave Human Twilight a confused look. “Who was this somepony your talking about?” Then the doors by the tables shut wide open as two Rainbow Dashes caught everyone’s attention by the pool. “Hello people on the cruise!” Human Dash shouted. “We’re doing a double Rainboom cannonball!” Pony Dash boasted. She takes her human counterpart’s hand as they rush there way to the pool. They both jump at the edge of the sides and made a double splash in the pool, covering everyone with water in the process. “That was awesome!!!” Pony Dash popping her head out of the water and so does Human Dash. “You mean twice as awesome?” She smirked. “Ohh! I love this cruise!” She then hugs her counterpart while everyone else who’s been in the pool, got out after the unexpected splash. Twilight and her friends make a huge shocking facial expression with Applejack about the puke due to the sight of two Rainbows but rushed to the side and vomit to the ocean. Twilight was about to question why until Sunset comforts her. “Everyone on this boat knows about Equestria at this point, why do we need to worry about this?” Sunset asked. Twilight thinked about it and Sunset is right, even if they never talked to anyone on their way to Princess Twilight’s castle, the students of their school finally saw the real reason why Twilight looks completely different before the Friendship Games. But on the other hand, it’s difficult for her to hope she doesn’t want anyone who wasn’t part of the cruise last time see’s her as the Princess’s twin. “Your right we shouldn’t be worried about this.” Twilight said. Then Lyra Heartstrings who was in the pool soaked in wetness walked up to Sunset as she pointed at the two Dashes. “Isn’t she the other egotistic Rainbow from Equestria?” She asked which all Sunset did was nodded. “Remind her to never do a double splash again!” “And you think Rainbow was the only person who drives me bragging? Her counterpart is probably more of a show off then her.” Applejack retorted. “I heard that!” Pony Dash shouted. “It’s still true!” Applejack replied.
