It’s Not Mine
Rainbow Dash was panicking. She had turned her cloud house upside down, and she still couldn’t find “It”. She’d spent most of the afternoon searching, and still nothing. “Where is it?” She yelled, as she burrowed through her closet. “I could’ve sworn that I put it right here when I woke up this morning.”
Tank was hovering nearby, slowly shaking his head at his owner. Rainbow whipped around, “Don’t give me that look, Tank. You know I sleep better when I have it with me.” Tank rolled his eyes, causing Rainbow to scoff, “No, I am not 'too old' to have something like that with me.” She said, once again resuming her search.
“Besides, it’s not a doll,” she pointed out, “It’s an action figure you snuggle with.” Rainbow resumed her search through her house. It wasn’t that she really needed the do—action figure to sleep; she could do that anywhere. It just so happened that she slept better when the little ball of fluff was tucked under her wings, or tucked inside a cloud below her, or tied to a branch hanging over her in Sweet Apple Acres. It got to the point where Rainbow wouldn’t go to sleep without it.
Now that it was missing, she had to find it, or else her naps would never be the same again, let alone her reputation, “And not necessarily because it’s a doll,” she grumbled.
Rainbow was just about to search underneath her bed for the third time when she heard a familiar voice call for her. “Rainbow Dash!”
Rainbow groaned, "Why now, at the worst possible time," she thought. For a second, she was tempted to just ignore her and keep searching, but being the loyal pony she was, she ducked her head through the cloud floor and took a look at her unwanted guest.
It was Rarity. Rainbow didn’t know what she was here for, and frankly, she didn’t care at the moment. What really got her attention was what Rarity was holding in her hoof.
Rainbow arced toward the ground, dropping right in front of the purple maned fashionista. “Hey Rarity,” she grinned creepily, “What ya’ got there?”
“Oh, this? This is just something I found under your house, Darling. It’s strange though; I haven’t seen anything like this.” Rarity held up the stuffed toy for closer inspection. It was quite old and battered. There was a grease stain on one of the hooves and a small hole under the left wing, but still shining through was the form of Ponyville’s resident princess, Twilight Sparkle.
“It’s not that strange,” Rainbow grit her teeth, resisting the temptation to just snatch back her belongings and fly away. “Didn’t they make a bunch of them when Twilight first arrived in Ponyville?"
“Yes,” Rarity nodded, “But whoever lost this obviously treasured it, considering they made the effort to attach wings for Twilight’s coronation.” Rarity said, pointing out the stitches on each side.
Rainbow's jaw clenched. She remembered how painstaking it had been to make and attach those wings. She’d repeated the process over and over again until she was sure; she’d gotten it just right.
“I must say, though. Whoever made these attachments did a phenomenal job. I mean, just looking at the stitching right here, and the way it . . .
Okay, there’s only one way this can go down. I pull a Pinkie, pull a shovel out of nowhere and hit Rarity over the head with it. Hopefully, she won’t have brain damage and will just forget about it. Heck, I can just say Tank knocked something out of my house and it landed on her, if she wants an explanation.
“Rainbow!”
“Huh. . .Wha.”
“I was saying we should find the child this belongs to.”
“Woah, woah, Rarity. Don’t you have work to do? Plus, if this kid really just left it out here, right underneath my cloud house, then they obviously don’t care about it as much as you think. Heck, they were probably embarrassed about the fact they still have the thing around, understatement of the year. So why don’t I just take it and throw it in a dumpster somewhere?” Rainbow made a desperate grab for the doll, but Rarity yanked it away from her.
She scoffed, “Rainbow, how can you even think of something like that? Even if it isn’t valuable to the child, per say, this is some incredible craftsmanship, and I won’t allow it to be destroyed.” The shovel plan was starting to look pretty good right about now. "As for work, I just finished a major order and had to order some new material from Canterlot."
“That’s why I was coming to see you. I wanted to know if you would pick it up for me, but this is much more important.”
Rainbow’s eye twitched, “She’s not going to give up on this, is she? Alright, Rarity,” She said, trying to sound confident. “But if we can’t find the owner, I get to keep it and throw it into the nearest volcano.” Rarity grumbled but eventually agreed, and the two shook hooves.
So, for most of the day, the two went around asking every foal in town if the toy belonged to them. Rainbow almost had a nervous breakdown when Dinky Doo said the doll was hers, and Rarity just handed it over. "What the buck, Rarity," she'd thought, "Can’t you tell she’s faking it?" Thankfully, Ditzy returned it later, apologizing for her daughter’s behavior.
“Come on, Rarity,” Rainbow said as they took a break in the park, “Just admit defeat, and give me the stupid thing. If it makes you feel better, I won’t destroy it. We can just dump it somewhere in my house, or something, specifically, my bedroom.”
For a moment, Rarity considered Rainbow’s idea, but after a while, she shook her head. “No, Rainbow. We must find the owner of this doll. I don’t know why; I just know it’s important to the person who lost it.” You have no idea. “So, it is for that reason, I believe we should ask the girls for help.”
Rainbow’s eye started to twitch again. Okay, I have three choices here. One, fess up and become a laughing stock. Two, go along with this plan and hope I can snatch the doll later. Three, Kill Rarity. Rainbow tapped her chin. Now, where should I hide the body
“Rainbow?!”
“What?”
“You were zoning out again. Just where, exactly, does your mind go when you do that?”
Rainbow shrugged, “Wherever Pinkie pulls all her stuff from; someplace dark and mysterious.” Rarity dropped the subject, but still gave her friend a strange look as they left the park.
A good thirty minutes later, they were all sitting around table with the doll in question in the middle. Rainbow was nervously sipping on a milkshake, while Rarity explained the situation.
“I just don’t know what to do with it, girls. We’ve asked every child in Ponyville, but none of them said it was theirs. I just can’t imagine where it came from.”
“Oh, oh I know,” said Pinkie, waving her hoof. “Maybe it belongs to an adult.”
“Pinkie, that’s ridiculous. What kind of grown pony sleeps with such a thing?”
Fluttershy spoke up, “Uhmm, Twilight and Big Mac.”
“Oh yeah,” said AppleJack, “I’d nearly forgotten ‘bout Smartie Pants.”
Twilight cringed, “I thought we all agreed to never ever speak about that again.”
“Actually, Egghead, you asked us to never talk about it, and I had my hooves crossed.”
“Same here.”
“I'm sorry, but guilty.”
“Eeyup.”
“I made no Pinkie promises.”
Twilight deflated, “Wow, thanks girls, but either way, if this does belong to an adult, it’s still creepy. That means there’s some pervert whose been sleeping with a miniature version of me.” Twilight shuddered.
Rainbow felt every word stabbing into her like a knife. “Hey, Mini-Twi is in no way creepy. She’s adorkable.”
Twilight levitated the miniature version of her and placed it onto her back. Rainbow Dash panicked, looking to Rarity. Hadn’t the deal been that she would get the doll when this was all over?
“I’m going to place this near the front of the library. Practically everypony comes by there at one point or another during the day. If the owner truly wants it back, they can come by and grab it. It’ll be in plain view for the rest of the day.” At this point, Twilight gave a discreet wink in Dash’s direction before hopping down from her seat and walking away.
Rainbow stared at her friend leaving, one of her most prized possessions bouncing along on her back, "Buck me," she thought.
Really like it so far! Keep up the great work! (BTW, CLIFFHANGERS... )
TWIDASH?! Count me in on this ride!
TwiDash on.

I concur my fellow twidasher.
I must say that twidash most always catches my attention, and like our frozen friend here your first story is shaping up to be promising.
If this is what we can expect from the future then the future is looking good.
Liked and fav, I'll be waiting
3988138 Well, fancy seeing you here my friend.
Anyway, you just earned your first follower.
Wait... WHO DISLIKED THIS STORY?! I WILL RIP OUT THEIR THROAT WITH MY TEETH!!!
3988177
I do believe I will follow as well.
As for ripping their throat out, since your avatar is luna you should probably go nightmare moon on them.
Her teeth are sharper.tee hee
3988414 Now Now there will be none of that
Pinkie needs every available piece to make cupcakes!
Yes well...
I will allow her every available piece I can find if it will keep her away from best pony
i really like it! hope u write more soon
3988649 defeat the stupid thing I say you should not do!
I'll be sure to follow this, for I am deeply intrigued by Twilight's sly wink at the end...
Just realized my iPhone browser shakes the text box when I type in it...
I like it. I'm always up for some good ol' TwiDash, especially when Rainbow is being cute.
I did notice a number of errors that mostly involved commas, but also a few other punctuation problems and a couple capitalization issues. A quick look through it again to clean it up and it'll be fine. Keep up the good work
3988649 I love my crazy friends. So. Freaking. Much.

See my previous comment.
Well Rainbow, it could be worse! It could be that Lyra plush doll. (You all know which horrible, soul scarring one.) Unless Mini-Twi has the same...functionality.
I've now disturbed myself.
More please!
Lol 69'th like
If Twi does know something, she's being very coy about putting the doll out in the library, instead of offering to whip up a "return to owner" spell at some later hour. And I'd like to know how she figured it out and Rarity, who is generally very good with reading body language, didn't - Rainbow is not exactly subtle.
So maybe this is a version of Twilight who is socially aware enough to be playing little headgames with Dash?
3989472 may you never speak of that again *shudders*
3989472 Actually there is at least one Twilight plush doll (a rather large one, life size you might say) that does have that functionality. There was a youtube vid of it.
3990209 Did it involve tiny bandage gear and a heaping helping of serious undiagnosed mental illness? Because I saw that one and definitely thought "This will be People's exhibit A in a murder trial".
3990224 I don't know about bondage gear, maybe, it was a while ago that I saw it. I think the guy who made the vid was trying to sell it, that's all I really remember.
3990239 Then it's not the one I was subjected to. It was the same guy who freaked on ship fiction writers that used Twilight Sparkle because he was "married to her on an astral plane" or something.
Then effectively released a sex tape/photos. It was super heavy Chris-Chan flashbacks.
THE FACT THAT WE'RE BUSY TRYING TO DIFFERENTIATE THESE DEGENERATES IS HORRIFYING TO ME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
3990324 It shames me to admit but I think I know who you're talking about, that dude that posted ton of pics of him and Twilight doing shit together right? And he said about how he likes to get sexy with her but "only what she feels comfortable with" or something?
I dunno, it was weird and disturbing none the less.
3989318
Aww we love you so much we could just eat you up...
Hmm... Nah
Nope I can't relate to this story. I don't have a Rainbow Dash plushie sitting beside me as I type these words.
3990458 Yeah there was a lot of creepy waifu going on. I'd love to see that kind of stuff referenced/lampooned here.
3990190 That is an excelent question. One that I just came up with the solution to five second ago
Chapter 2: The return of Metal Gear Dash.
This offended me.
3991391 Might I ask how.
I don't see anthro/human tag.
Who's dead set.
This feels off... try:
Now she has to get it back, and keep everyone from finding out it's hers.
One period missing at the end here!
So far, the description alone is scaring me off...
TwiDash... That needs a period at the end!
And MLP is an abbreviation, so it needs capital letters.
Fine, read later list it is, then...
3991419 Thank you for the help. I'll make these corrections immediately
Too much, punctuation, interrupts the; flow.
Very nice premise, I like where this is going
You should change it to "Fuck me"
They're, there, their - there's a difference!
There are a lot of mistakes in this, but I enjoy the premise of it, and I'm going to fave it for now, so I can keep an eye on it. It's funny, really. I recently wrote a TwiDash in which Rainbow had a plushie of Twi she'd made. She kept it hidden in a cloud.
3991711 Wait Oh no Rookie mistakes I'm so ashamed. Anyway I'll correct them
3991701 I'll have to work on that.
3991735 I'll say it again I need to find a proofreader
3991812 I do proofread for people, and I'm typically pretty active. I'm taking a short break from writing, so I suppose I could do that for you...
Only thing is I'll be just about completely inactive from March 11-March 18.
3991826 That would be great, if you could proofread. I shall be forever in your debt
3991856 I just sent the whole thing in a PM, completely proofread.
It wasn’t that she really needed the d
you actually wrote that
3990324 Oh, that guy, no I didn't mean him (I only heard about him, never saw any vid about him). No this vid just showed off a full size Twilight sex plush and I think he was trying to sell it.
Just a tip, get yourself an editor. It's not hard to find one, there are whole groups dedicated to helping writers get editors. The extra set of eyes will help.
Anyway this story is as cute as it sounds, I can't wait for more. There are some mistakes I saw when reading, I'll try to write them up when I'm not on a phone.
Read the description already love this fic
3992515 I find it hilarious that after reading that I searched for it and found that it has been changed to the do-
Yet there's no Princess Twilight tag
Hahaha. Well done.
Looking forward to more.
Keep up the good work. Deus tecum.
This is the most adorable thing since the bouquet of kittens.
