Chapter 2

Dear Twilight Sparkle,
I am glad your friends have returned and that they are safe, but them still being alicorns upon re-entering this universe has me puzzled. I am coming to Ponyville tommorow morning to see for myself.
Sincerely,
Princess Celestia of Equestria.
P.S. Tell Rainbow Dash and Vinyl Scratch that I am sorry for what I did.

"Well I don't forgive you! That's it, i'm joining the Lunar Republic." Vinyl stated.

"Me too, because Celestia is so unrainbow." Dash said, crossing her hooves.

"Right... Well let me see if I have a spell that will hide your extra appendages and make your manes normal." Twilight said, taking a book off of a small bookshelf. "Aha, illusion spells. Now hold still." She said, and her horn began to glow. Rainbow Dash and Vinyl Scratch's manes became normal, and they looked like a unicorn and a pegasus again.

"Good. Now I wish to become part of the Lunar Republic. Take me to Luna, so the deed may be done." Rainbow said.

"Um, alright. She is normally at the nightclub down the road pretending to be a normal pony, but a normal pony who is actually a vampony, but a vampony who is actually a stallion vampony, but a stallion vamony who is actually a turkey, but a turkey who is actually a turtle, but a turtle who is actually a broom." Twilight explained.

"Great. I can't wait to go see our new ruler who is pretending to be a normal pony, who is actually a vampony, who is actually a stallion vampony, who is actually a turkey, who is actually a turtle, who is actually a broom." Vinyl Scratch said happily.

"Well you better go now before that broom turns into a mop. Bye bye!" Twilight said and pushed them out the door. When they were gone, she let out a loud sigh of relief.

"Dang, did those two get hit by the idiot stick in that universe as well?"

Rainbow and Vinyl walked into the flashy night club. After scanning the overly crowded room, Vinyl noticed a broom in the corner. The two alicorns in disguise walked up to the broom, which then unzipped itself to become a mop, which unzipped itself to become Fluttershy, who unzipped herself to be Princess Luna.

"Hi Princess, we want to join the Lunar Republic." Vinyl said.

"Very well. Wait... you're not one of those tax collectors, are you?" Luna asked.

"Er, no?"

"Okay. Here are your Lunar Republic badges. They have my face on them so nopony gets confused." She said, and gave the two ponies their badges.

"Hooray! I'm a part of something now! Say Luna, can I say something on the stage?" Rainbow asked. Luna nodded, and Rainbow dashed onto the stage. All eyes fell on her, making her really nervous.

"Um... Hi everypony.... Crap I forgot what I was gonna say... Um... Noes goes is a fat kid!" Dash said, placing her hoof on her noes. Every other pony did the same, except for a little yellow filly. "Haha, you're the fat kid, Aurora."

"Hey, almost bein' turned into a rainbow stressed me out!" The filly, with a surprisingly masculine voice yelled.

"I am outraged by this whole 'fat kid' thing!" A brown colt with a feminine voice snapped.

"Alright, someone get the girly colt out of here." Rainbow said.

"Ha, that's just what my mom would say." He chuckled, and was escorted out of the club.

"Er, okay. Well I guess I'll jus-" Rainbow was interrupted by a loud bang, and fell to the floor. Every pony then began to scream. Vinyl looked at her friend in horror.

"Sweet Luna, Dash is dead! But this means... Slate lied to me!"

---

Rainbow Dash awoke in a large room with two large golden gates. There was an office desk in front of them with a hooded figure sitting at it.

"Aw, is this because of the fat kid joke?" Dash asked.

"Er, no? It's because you're dead." The figure told her.

"But that means.... Slate lied to me!" She snapped.

"Not exactly. Alicorns may be immortal, but they can still be killed. So, whenever an alicorn dies, they are given the opportunity to be reborn as any pony in existence. That pony is determined by this set of dice." It said, producing some dice out of it's cloak.

"So I get to live again? Awesome! Wait... This isn't a scam, it it?" Dash asked.

"Um no...?"

"Okay..." Dash said, and took the dice from the figure. She rolled them on the desk, and they ended up in front of the figure.

"Good.... Very good. You will be sent back now, but be warned. You will remember nothing of your past life." It said, and clapped its white hooves.

"Not remember anything? Bu-" Dash blacked out before she could finish.

---

"I can't believe Rainbow Is dead. Just when we get her back, too." Applejack said sadly.

"I know. If only we knew who killed her..." Twilight sighed.

"You want to know who killed Dash? Well, I know that!" Vinyl spoke up.

"You do? Why didn't you tell us?" Twilight snapped.

"You didn't ask. Anyways, i'm pretty sure it was a light green mare with a blue mane and tail. She was working for Blueblood." Vinyl told the five gathered mares.

"How do you know? If you don't mind me asking..." Fluttershy asked.

"She was wearing a badge with his face on it."

"Ohhhh." Everypony said at the same time.

"Now, we go rip his head off." Vinyl stated.

"What? No! We need more evidence, and then we need to report him to Celestia, and then..."

"Twilight, you're a princess. You can do whatever the hay you want." Vinyl told the purple alicorn.

"No I can't! The nobles would be outraged. Everpony would hate me, and Celestia would probably send me to the moon-"

"Hey, me and Dash killed Blueblood, and nopony complained!"

"Well that universe is horrible, so that does not count." Twilight told the alabaster alicorn. "In fact, I don't know why we even listen to you, considering we turned one of the nobles into a cactus. Wait, what? How do I know about that?" Twilight had no idea what the hay was going on.

"Twilight... have you been stalking me...?" Vinyl asked.

"What? No! I would never even consider such a thing!" Twilight said in shock.

"Twi, I was joking. Everypony in town knows you're a witch, so you probably just used your creepy witch powers." The blue maned mare said.

"Witch? I'm not a witch." Twilight defended herself.

"It's obvious Celestia has been teaching you witchcraft, since you haven't learned anything else from her." Vinyl told the princess.

"I've learned plenty of things from Celestia! How could you even say that?" Truthfully, Twilight didn't really care about whatever Vinyl Scratch was going on about. She was more curious about how she knew what happened in the other universe.
