//------------------------------// // The Inverser // Story: Roller coasters, bumper cars, and other Things // by Sakura //------------------------------// " Now can we please please pleasee go on something cooler?" Rainbow Dash asked. After the six friends got off the teacups, Rainbow immediately wanted to go on a roller coaster, but the rest of the friends wanted to take it step by step. Now they were walking around looking for a ride. "Hey Rainbow, how bout' that one?" Applejack said, pointing a tall blue ride. From the looks of it, Twilight thought, it was one of those rides that flipped you upside down. "Better, but cooler" Rainbow replied. "Well to bad Rainbow, were going on this one first" Applejack said, starting to drag Rainbow towards the ride. The rest of the friends followed. There was no line, so the six friends got on. Twilight sat on the end, and Fluttershy sat next to her. The shy Pegasus was looking quite nervous. Rarity sat next to Fluttershy, and Pinkie next to Rarity. Applejack and Rainbow sat in the row in front of them. "Please keep your hooves inside the ride, and enjoy" With that statement, the Inverser started up. Restrainers lowered down, holding its occupants in place. Metal bars clamped them firmly in place. It then started swinging back and forth, preparing to flip the riders upside down. Being a unicorn, Twilight Sparkle did not fancy the idea of being flipped upside down in the air. She screamed when the ride stopped when it was upside down. "If this is what being a Pegasus is like, no thanks. " She thought. Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie were also screaming, but out of fun. Applejack and Rainbow Dash, however, were having a great time up front, both throwing their hooves in the air. Rainbow was happy with the ride because it flipped upside down in circles, like the stunts she did. Applejack, being and earth pony, did not get the opportunity to fly and do stunts in the air, seemed to be having the best time. She forgot to take of her stetson before she got on, and was thus holding on to it with one of her hooves. Twilight let out a squeal of fun. She had to admit, this was better than sitting in a library all day. She was used to the idea of being flipped upside down now, and could handle it better. The ride was slowing down now. It slowed to a stop and the restraints lifted. Twilight waited until her friends got off, then got off herself. It felt weird with her hooves on the ground after being in the air for so long. She walked off the ramp and met her friends at the bottom. "Where are we going now, Twilight darling?" Rarity asked.
