I took a deep breath as I got ready for brony con. I put on my modified pegasus suit which had bat like wings in a soft buttercreme color like most of my suit. While I had the back hooves show accurate I just didn't have the front ones in time so I substituted with plain creme gloves with glued on red fingernails while adjusting the slightly messy pink tail of my costume. A trio of pink bats was breifly seen on my thighs as I finished adjustments before looking to my mask which was modified as well. The pink mane was similarly slightly messy while the eyes were crimson with sitter pupils and the mouth had some fangs. The ears were slightly bat like. If you hadn't figured it out by now I was going as the ever popular flutterbat. My name is sky line a collage girl around twenty with natural double c cup breasts with light brown hair and purple eyes. My life wasn't really much to say as I was your adverage gal. Reason why my name is sky is that I was born while a plane was in flight right at the boarder of America and Japan on the oceanic seas. So despite being born to both American parents I was Japanese American legally. Though one problem I found with my costume was the fact it clung to my curves like a second skin. That's what I get for using a bodysuit covered in felt fabric to make the entire costume. Yes even the mask. The eyes were actually goggles I lightly painted over so I could see out of them but the people looking at me won't be able to see my eyes. I just had to bare with it as I was out of time to make another one. Pulling on my mask I gathered my purse and my wallet and headed out to the convention center.
Soon though after waiting nearly a hour in line I was finally at brony con. I found a cute flutterbat cutie mark necklace pendent with black wristbands which I got and put on when I found a cute white bat plush in a stall that was called fluttershy’s plush corner which made me giggle but I got the bat noting the wing membrane was dark red. Though I did play a bit of mirror mirror with the costumed person running the stall being regular fluttershy. I actually heard people laugh at the sight and I was sure someone put it on YouTube which I admit was pretty funny.
While looking over fan made stuff in other stalls I found a item that I just had to get. It was a Victorian era style detective hat. It was even modified for the ears of my costume reminding me of that hellsing parody of flutterbat on sfm videos. Getting it I headed to get something to eat at the food court and removed my mask so I could eat my pizza in peace. Afterwords I browsed the panels and was getting excited for what was being planned for the future of mlp.
Then I found a actual room that looked a lot like the inside of carousel boutique which I resolved to check later because I had spotted what was dubbed the crossover stalls where people buy pony versions of other franchises and lucky me I found in the rwby version stall a good replica of the scythe riffle weapon crescent rose in scythe mode and if I was correct it was made out of polymer clay. Must have took months to make life sized. I purchased it and then entered the boutique room to find that yes it really resembled the place. Oddly enough I saw the person at the stall resembled a person dressed in a rarity costume but I could see white eyes behind the eyeholes.
"Hello there. I'm covering for the usual person that runs these kind of things. What can I do to help you" asked the girl cheerfully.
"Oh Um I'm just browsing around I'm surprised at the detail of this room it does look a lot like the boutique from the show" I said becoming nervious something about this woman in the suit just seemed off. Must be because she was obviously not the comfortable in the costume.
"Yeah surprised me how my friend can set it up so quick alone yet still get accurate detail. Hmm well miss how about you buy a dress because I think you need something to cover up thatvfigure" said the girl and I nodded and the girl helped me onto a stand as she pulled out a Victorian era styled black Gothic dress that had decorative silver chains around the arms and waist with a hole for the tail at the skirt. With it was a red corset laced with silver string. There was even slits for the wings of my costume. It was perfect! I asked her how much.
"Hmm around seventeen dollars not many use Victorian style clothes anymore so this is fair to me" said the woman who helped me put it on after I payed for it without ruining my costume. I looked at the full body mirror and held my purse which I had painted flutterbst's cutie mark on with my bat plush and held my crescent rose while I placed back on my necklace and wristbands and hat.
"Nice if fits perfectly!" I said with a grin at my image.
"Yep your going to be a real beauty with this costume" said the woman in agreement.
I turned to her and I smiled. Only it was then I realized that I was smiling with the mouth of my mask and I quickly turned to the mirror feeling something had gone wrong. I saw that my mask was mimicking my expression.
"What the hell I didn't make the mask flexible!" I said before I started getting a case of vertigo and started tipping backwards falling unconcious.
----------------------------------------
The woman took of her mask and frowned as she stared at where sky once was.
Suddenly her friend A came back from where she was wandering the convention and caught her expression.
"So you displaced someone for me? Guess someone arrived while I was out. Thanks yin for covering for me" said A as she put yin back into her usual white dress.
"Anytime A though something odd happened with this displacement" said yin.
"Really what" asked A curious.
"She was already transforming into her character before she started to vanish" said yin.
"Really what was her costume" asked A.
"Flutterbat. from what I saw she made it with a bodysuit you usually see on people going snorkeling covered in felt fabric and must have ordered a custom wig for her mask and used any spare fiber to make the tail. She also had a red Victorian style hat with a flutterbat cutie mark pendent and black wristbands. She also was holding a replica of a certain rifle/scythe weapon and a white bat plush. I just sold her the modified Victorian era goth dress to help cover her figure as the bodysuit base was clinging to her curves" said yin.
"The crescent rose I spotted at the pony version of rwby's stall? Huh well at least she can defend herself wherever she ends up... oh shoot she's going to encounter regular fluttershy isn't she" said A laughing.
"Yep reminds me of that pinkamina displaced out there" said yin.
"Well there is enough differences that they can be considered sisters at least.... Celestia might confuse her as a corrupted version isn't she" asked A calming down.
"It's a possibility" said yin before standing up and brushed out the Winkles in her dress.
"Well I better go check on yang without me to balance him out he tends to cause a lot of chaos in our place" said yin teleporting out.
-----------------------------------------------
I groaned as I came to and I pushed myself up finding I was no longer at the convention center but a familiar ruined castle. The castle of the royal sisters. I looked over my body and I found I could feel fur and it turns out that somehow my costume had become my actual body and not a costume. Covering my lower legs was gothic victorian era style boots in red velvet kind of color. Standing I was surprised I could still balance but made sense I still had my human hands on my arms. I picked up the crescent rose from where it lay and it wasn't clay anymore but now the real deal as it transformed to its box like shape that I found could be clipped to the chains around my waist and I found the bat plush was now a real equestrian albino bat with red wings as it flew onto my shoulder I was thinking of calling her, as I could tell the gender this close, white knight. I thought it fit.
Looking around I wondered when in the timeline I was as I felt my new wings fold onto my back. I quickly headed in the direction of the exit and once I found a window I saw it was night and I looked to my new pet bat.
"Want to go for a flight white knight? Get used to our new surroundings" I asked and noted my voice sounded much like fluttershy’s but more seductive and not as meek in tone. The little bat nodded and I flew out to locate ponyville and soon I managed to see a light at the edge of the Forrest and flew in that direction landing on a tree and I looked at the village in the distance. I could make out golden oaks so that meant I was either around the first three or four seasons. I could sense that something was heading this way and I looked down seeing fluttershy being led by angel who sniffed the air and looked confused before pointing to me while looking to fluttershy. It was then I realized she looked very much like my current form only without the bat traits. Her clothes though victorian was more like a gown then a dress with hers being yellow and going to the ground at the skirt while mine was at least halfway down my shins. She flew up before I could realize my situation and both of us blinked at the sight of the other.
We tilted our heads mirroring each other and we continued this with our movements before we both burst into giggles. It wasn't until she heard how different my voice was then hers did she look to me.
"Sorry but that's the second time I mirrored a look alike today how about we head to your home so I can explain why we look so similar" I said calming down.
"Um alright follow me if that's okay with you" said fluttershy flying down and I followed her down. White knight flew onto my shoulder as we walked to her cottage.
"So what is your name" asked fluttershy.
"Flutterbat and once you hear my story the name will make sense" I said kindly as we entered and sat down for some tea.
I realized my figure actually matched fluttershy's in this world.
"You see I'm not from this universe fluttershy and yes I know who you are other universes share the oddest of connections. I was originally a human by the name of sky line at least until this afternoon. I was atending a gathering for nightmare night to use your world's terms so you can understand the concept. Well my costume which I based off a varient of you created in the future to you was clinging to my figure so after finding some souvenirs I stumbled on a replica of rarity's business and it was a very accurate replica and from there I got my current attire to Um cover up my figure. What I didn't know was that the dress was enchanted and transformed me into my costume. Next thing I know I'm waking up in the castle in the everfree forest. How flutterbat came to be is a bit of a surprise. Twilight had to help apple jack with a fruit bat problem and need you to use your stare to get the bats attention. One spell later altered their diet but well the spell back lashed and sent the instincts of the fruit bats into you via your stare. Thus these changes you can see on me. Though you lost your rational mind to the instincts so they had to make you use your stare on yourself from mirrors so twilight could reverse the spell. The name flutterbat came from rarity on seeing the transformed state. Her exact quote was 'that's not fluttershy that's flutterbat!' The name kinda stuck after that when referencing the incident" I said and fluttershy nodded.
"I can see how this can happen and if this is my future I know at least my friends can fix the mistake. But with you here you might make sure it is at least gone a bit more smoothly" said fluttershy.
"Yeah that depends on if I can get home though it might be likely I can't get back. Only reason I'm not having a emotional meltdown is due to the fact panicking won't help at all" I said.
"Well technically your me and you currently don't have anywhere to live so you can stay with me I always wanted a sister so you being a long lost twin will be beleivable. My farther actually is a threstral while my mother is a pegasus. It may take me a bit to explain to them as I got to let them know so they can confirm the story if asked. If anyone asks how I met you I can just say I bumped into you on a trip to manehatten picking up supplies for my job" said fluttershy.
"That is if Celestia doesn't see me without you in sight and thinks I'm a corrupted you and tries to hunt me down and subsequently you as I'm more vampony then threstral. The fruit bats was the vampire kind" I said.
"Right that might take months to fix if it hsppens" said fluttershy nodding.
"So what was the last recent event you experienced I need to know exactly when I am" I said.
"Let's see twilight just got us tickets to the gala" said fluttershy.
"Oh right going to nip this in the bud here before a disaster happens. The animals at the garden are skittish around strangers so if you want to get to know them ask the gardener to introduce you as they been around him and got used to him. Though Celestia is trying to liven up the gala which is so formal it's less a party but more of trying to throw egos and politics around. Oh and warn rarity that blueblood is a narcissistic guy that cares more about himself and his position as a prince that he would possibly use her as a pony meat sheild if say a cake was launched in his direction. Back home you caused a stampede that caused a lot of chaos and pretty much destroyed the pavilion trying to get the animals to like you. Which is what Celestia is counting on as after a few centuries of the gala she gets very bored there... and tell apple jack not to expect to sell much at the event as she will only get to sell one pie to soarin of the wonderbolts as the event is pretty much catered. Rainbow would try to talk to the wonderbolts only to try and stop the place from collapsing with a impressive ground to air manovurability in a crowded room. Pinkie will not like the gala where no one is actually dancing and try to liven up the party to actual party status. Since her talent is involving parties you should ask Celestia to explain that to the nobles. That she can't help her special talent from trying and do what she does best. Spike though will be the most disappointed with the night having been ditched by you six until the gala is ruined and spent the entire time at donut Joe's. He was hoping on speaking the night with you six as your his friends" I said and fluttershy winced at the mental image her imagination conjured.
"Thanks for the warning that might help minimize the damage I can't speak for the others but pinkie might cause most of the damage but if the princess wants us to liven up the event we can try only maybe without ruining part of the castle" said fluttershy.
"That's all I can ask" I said.
"Well come on you need your rest after the day you had sis" said fluttershy with a small smile at the last bit. I gave a small smile myself at the title as I didn't have any siblings myself and followed her to her bedroom and I took Cresent rose off and placed it under the bed and changed into the night gown fluttershy handed me which was black though she blushed realizing I wasn't wearing any undergarments.
"Like I said it was a costume back home I made it out of felt fabric and a bodysuit the main version of your world looked more like this for the inhabitants" I defended showing a picture of none humaniod fluttershy which made the pegasus go ah in understanding.
"Your going to borrow some of my undergarments for now until we talk to rarity" said fluttershy and I nodded.
"Im more worried about pinkie and Celestia I mean rarity is going to be busy with your dresses for the gala" I said sliding under the covers.
"I can understand Celestia but pinkie?" Asked fluttershy.
"Her welcome to ponyville parties. her sixth sense is scary when directed at someone" I said deadpan.
"Good point when I had mine I froze stiff and was pretty much a statue as I'm not that much social a pony" said fluttershy thinking as she got in.
"Good night sis" I said and when she said the same we both fell asleep at the same time.
