//------------------------------// // UGH // Story: The Strange Switch // by kaylatheotaku //------------------------------// Rainbow Dash woke up the next morning with a splitting headache. She looked at Spike who had a bucket of ice cream on his head. That made her chuckle slightly. "Spike, you have a bucket on your head!" Spike woke up with a jolt and the bucket flew across the room. They both burst into laughter when it hit the door. Then Rainbow Dash looked out the window and saw her body talking to Twilight's neighbors. "Uh Spike we've got trouble!" Rainbow Dash called to him. "Twilight's coming!" Spike immanently started to clean himself with wet paper towels, while Rainbow cleaned up the mess. They hurriedly cleaned the house top to bottom. When Rainbow Dash finished she ran to Twilight's bed and pretended to be asleep. Spike did the same with his. KNOCK! KNOCK! "Hello? Rainbow Dash Spike you there?" Twilight called. "Twilight, try to be quiet!" Rainbow Dash whispered harshly. "You almost woke Spike up! Even though I'm trapped in a wingless body I have some responsibility!" Twilight frowned at her. "I'm sorry I didn't know he was asleep. Anyways the picnic is soon." Rainbow Dash started to sweat. "Wha- um...Yeah Yeah of course I'll be there!" CRAP! Is it that late! Darn it Twilight! Rainbow Dash thought. Spike walked down the stairs to see the switched up friends. He gulped and started to run up the stairs, but he tripped and fell back down. "Spike, ph no!" Twilight yelled. She flew over to him to see a bruise. "Rainbow Dash!" "What? How is this my fault?! I thought he was upstairs asleep?!" Rainbow Dash yelled in return. She walked up to them and helped Spike up. "Spike aren’t you a little confused?" Twilight asked him curiously. "No, Rainbow Dash told me everything!" Spike exclaimed. Twilight gave Rainbow a stare that said:"Really Rainbow Dash?" She started to sweat a little. Rainbow Dash stared nervously at Twilight. "Well it's getting late. The others will start to wonder where we are. Now remember Rainbow and Spike we act like nothing happened." Twilight instructed calmly. "So I've just got to act like an egghead?" Rainbow Dash started to laugh, and Spike joined in. ________________________________________ Applejack, Pinkie pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity waited for their friends. They had the blanket spread out and the picnic basket on it. Applejack was asleep on the blanket snoring loudly. Pinkie pie was blowing up some balloons with a goofy grin on her face. Fluttershy was looking at the squirrels running up the trees. Lastly Rarity was making sure there were enough plates. "Look! There's Dashie in the sky!" Pinkie pie chirped. The others looked up to see "Rainbow Dash" flying towards them. They noticed something on her back. "Do any of y'all know what's on her back?" Applejack asked drowsily. "It looks like Spike." Rarity replied squinting at "Rainbow Dash" in the sky. "Spike, what is he doing on Dashie's back?" Pinkie asked trying to examine Spike on the blue pegasus's back. When "Rainbow Dash" (Twilight) landed she smiled at her friends. "Hi Rainbow Dash glad you are here!" They all said to her. "Hi- I mean sup slackers!" Twilight responded nervously. "Where's Twilight?" Fluttershy asked her. "She's right behind us!" Spike pointed behind them. "Twilight Sparkle" or Rainbow Dash was almost there. She was smiling as she walked towards her friends. When Rainbow Dash came up to them they greeted her happily. "Hello darling!" Rarity cooed to her. "Maybe after this we can get a hooficure!" Twilight nudged Rainbow Dash so she's say yes for her. "No!" Rainbow Dash whispered harshly. "Even though I'm in your body doesn't mean I do things that I don't want to do! I'm not getting a stupid hooficure just to make you happy. "Remember when I said I'd get payback for you hitting my body." Twilight whispered back. "I'm getting it now." The other ponies had already started their own conversations. They'd ignored Rainbow Dash and Twilight's conversation. "Hey Rarity," Twilight said calmly. "Yes Rainbow Dash?" She asked gleefully. "I'll take Twilight's place in getting a hooficure." The ponies stared at her. Especially Rainbow Dash who wasn't expecting this. Her jaw had dropped. I seriously had to say that. She thought with rage. Rarity smiled at Twilight. "Finally deciding to be like your real hero huh?!" Rarity exclaimed. "We can get makeovers! Oh Rainbow! I can't wait let's go now!" She grabbed Twilight and they ran off to the spa. "Well...Rainbow has changed." Applejack commented. "Maybe it's for the good!" Fluttershy said excitedly. Rainbow Dash couldn't take much more of this. She started to run towards the spa in anger. "Twilight, you forgot Spike!" Pinkie pie called. "Keep an eye on him!" Rainbow Dash yelled back. She had to hurry if she didn't want her body to be tampered with. Thinking about it made her shutter.
