//------------------------------// // It's been a while since I've seen something new. // Story: Dashing with rainbows // by Wafflegodman //------------------------------// Leon's hands were shaking. "Damn it." he said calmly, he hated when he got like this. "I'm gonna take a shower." he told Krag. "Yeah, I'll tell anyone that comes looking for you." informed the alien. It was well into the night and the group just got home. Anna and Dash were making sure that the girls got into a bed, they were going to need their rest for the morning's bombshells. Leon was suffering from the effects of adrenalin well after they should have stopped, nothing new to him, but it still annoyed the living hell outta him. In the shower, Leon let the scolding water ease the muscles in his shoulders, but he couldn't fully relax, it would take a few hours more to actually calm down, he didn't know why but adrenalin affected him more then other people. He didn't care that it did, actually he liked it, nothing physically harmful came from it, and it gave him an edge in long term combat scenarios. But right now he couldn't wait to stop being so jumpy. He opened his eye's and looked at the clock on the wall, eight o' clock. He fell asleep in the shower, that wasn't uncommon before Dash got here, but for the past month or so he had been able to control himself quite well. Leon dried himself off, and dressed himself in a pair of clothes he had taken with him into the bathroom, and made his way out the door. He found Rainbow Dash curled up against the wall in front of the bathroom, he gently woke her, and poured them both coffee, which the groggy Rainbow took eagerly. "Your friends are gonna have a lot of questions, aren't they?" Leon asked with a certain bored tone to it, it was almost depressing. "Yeah...I guess." Rainbow responded. "Are you alright?" she asked worriedly. "I'm perfectly fine, just antsy." he said. After a few moments of awkward silence Rainbow spoke up. "Why are you really called Professor by so many people? Surely not everyone that works with you know's you were a professor." she asked. Leon took a deep breath, "It's the last thing she called me." he said while looking at the television across the room, it was showing one of last nights parades, a huge banner of the girl on it. The two were silent, eventually Dash gave Leon a hug. No words. Just them, together. This was what he wanted, him and his past are dead, this is the new him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(quick transition is boring)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The girls woke up, slowly, but surely. They remembered last night, and were used to their new bodies. They were given minor details by a pale girl. They Knew that crazy things were likely, so the new body deal wasn't as traumatic as it should have been, plus they instantly recognized each other. They all had on clothes that represented their personality, picked out by Rainbow Dash and Anna. Rarity had on a black cocktail dress, Twilight had a purple tee-shirt on, and a black skirt, Applejack had on some jeans and a plaid button up shirt as well as her hat, which somehow made it through the portal. Fluttershy had on pale yellow turtle neck sweater, and a pink skirt. Pinkie had on a straight jacket and some jeans. A note was taped to her back. 'Her real shirt is in the closet, RD.' "So, do we go out?" asked Twilight. "Ah'm not sure suge." said Applejack. As if on cue Anna walked in with a smile. "How's everybody feel?" she asked. "Everybo..." Pinkie started before laughing her ass off. "Good," Twilight said recognizing Anna's face. "What's your name?" she asked, she knew that Anna probably wasn't going to hurt them, she was given plenty of chances before. "Anastasiya, though, I prefer Anna." she said flashing a happy smile. "Hi, I'm Twil..." Twi started. "Twilight, nice to meet ya, you should come with me, you're probably starving." Anna offered. "Yeah, I'm famished...wait, how did you know my name." Twilight questioned. "Dash, I thought you saw the letter on Pinkie's back." said Anna. "Come on." she motioned for the group to follow. The ponies obliged, Twilight found that walking on two legs came extremely easily, but she couldn't see any type of terrain a body like her's could be of use in, another question on a list of many. When they arrived at their destination, they found recognizable food waiting for them, salads and apples. The leaves were more tart then Twilight remembered as a pony, and the apples slightly more sweet, but other then that nothing was really different. "Feel free to make yourselves at home for now." said Anna. "If you have any questions feel free to ask me." she continued cheerily. "Um... where's Rainbow Dash?" Twilight asked. "She's with Leon in the other room." Anna said, pointing at a door behind her with her hand. "Who's Leon?" Rarity asked. "My bro..." Anna then checked a device that vibrated in her pocket, "Sorry to cut things short, but I got to go. It was a pleasure to make you acquaintances." With that said she waved goodbye and ran out of the room. "Strange creatures." said Applejack. "But they have a great sense of fashion." finished Rarity. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(another quick transition of totally lame proportions)~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rainbow Dash hugged all of her old friends, and they seemed over joyed to see her. "How are you doing?" asked Fluttershy. "Better then you'd imagine." responded Rainbow. "So... do you want to go home?" asked Twilight. "YEAH...but their is one little condition." said an excited Rainbow Dash. "What's that deary?" asked Rarity. Rainbow Dash poked Leon in his arm and made her ultimatum "This guy has to come with me or I can't go." Time to wake up sleepy head, you got a job to do.
