Dash looked up and quickly cleaned her eyes from the tears that were on the brink of readiness to fall. She then tilted her head in confusion by what she saw.
The voice came from a short man. Very short. By the time Rainbow Dash sat up completely, her eyes met his perfectly. The cyan pegasus knew that he wasn’t a normal human like she saw in one of Twilight’s books. If anything, he looked like a... toy. A doll, to be exact. A talking doll. Though, he didn’t have a sting you can pull to make him talk. There wasn’t a special button you can press to make him talk, either. He just started talking. Dash stared at him for a little bit, confused.
“What? You’ve never seen a supernaturally possessed doll before?” The doll inquired.
Dash just simply shook her head; rather it was to say no or to shake out her hallucination, she didn’t know. Finally, Dash asked, “Where am I?”
“You know, I’m wondering the same thing. I think we’re still in Chicago. I doubt it, though.”
Dash kept looking at the plastic man, still confused. “Where?”
“Chicago. You know, “The Windy City?” “Beef Capital of the World?” “Home of the Chicago Cubs?””
Dash only shrugged.
“Man, you horses really are stupid.”
“Hey!” Dash angrily stood up and came towards the toy, “Number one, I’m not a horse. I’m a pegasus!” That’s when she showed off her blue wings, dirty and slightly bruised from the crash. The doll just nodded, trying to look impressed.
“And number two,” Dash began again, “I’m not stupid! I just slacked a little too much while I was school, that’s all.” She was staring the guy down now, looking as angry as she would if a bully in Cloudsdale was picking on Fluttershy.
“Okay! Okay! I get it!” The living toy finally gave in, “I just saw the lightning crashing and went to see just what the fuck was happening! Jesus Christ!” He crossed his arms angrily.
“Well I’m trying to find out how I got here and how to get back!” Dash continued to stare him down. She wasn’t as good as Fluttershy’s staredown, but she thought she was good enough.
“Well, where did you come from?”
“Ponyville.”
“What?”
“Ponyville. You know, Sugarcube Corner? Sweet Apple Acres? Everfree Forest?”
The doll just looked at her weird, like she did when he was describing her about Chicago. Suddenly, he just starting laughing. He laughed for a while. He was doubling over and holding his sides he was laughing so hard and for so long. Finally, when he was able to breathe again, Dash just gave an agitated look. “What?”
“I know what you are now!” The doll started to say, “You’re one of those little figures for girls! What do they call you guys? Now now now, don’t tell me! Don’t tell me! Uh... Shit! What are you? It’s right on the tip of my tongue!” Dash had no idea what he was talking about? Was she popular in this dimension like she is back in Ponyville?
“Oh yeah! My Little Ponies! You guys are My Little Ponies! Which one are you?” the doll said at last.
Dash looked at him all weird. You guys? So her and everypony back home was popular here?
“Um... I’m Rainbow Dash?” She awkwardly introduced herself.
“Rainbow Dash?” the doll questioned as he shook her hoof. “Huh, never heard of a “Rainbow Dash” before. My little niece is into all of that. I used to get her My Little Ponies all the time.” Dash was really confused at this point. What’s a My Little Pony? What’s a Chicago? Who am I talking to?
“So... Who are you?” Dash finally asked the doll.
“Name’s Chucky, the most notorious killer in all of Lakeshore!” He smiled as he continued to shake the cyan pony’s hoof.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrummmmmm
Chucky held his stomach, “Man! I’m starving! How ‘bout you? You hungry?”
rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggg, Dash’s stomach responded. She had to admit, she was hungry. She nodded.
“Come on, let’s go raid the mess hall.”
