Vinyl groaned, hesitant to open her eyes, lest she see something even stranger than what she'd already witnessed. Then she began to wonder just what could be stranger than ponies as humans, or even human-shaped ponies.
A loud, blaring noise shocked her awake and off the piece of furniture she'd been occupying. She scowled, staring at the metallic carriage in front of her. "Stupid car!" She grabbed a nearby lamp with her magic and swung at the vehicle.
Just one inch away from her target, she realized the 'car' was a little flat.
The lamp smashed through the screen, embedding itself in the wall behind. Vinyl winced, glancing around to see if anypony had heard her.
While she saw no one else, she did see a rather large amount of technology. Most notably, the large sound system that completely covered a wall. With a grin, she pulled out her spare music player, walking over to it.
Within minutes, she had her favorite dubstep song playing, singing along with perfect pitch and tone. Yes, even the bass drops. She's that awesome. And then came the words. "You don't need to hide my friend, for I'm just like you."
"Not just like me."
Startled, she spun around and saw a familiar face. Grinning, she raced over and hugged her tightly, but briefly. "Sparkle! Dude, it's so great to see you!" She paused for a second before sheepishly amending her words. "You know, as a pony."
A brief flash of confusion crossed the lavender unicorn's face. "What else would I be?"
Vinyl opened her mouth to answer, but something caught her attention. Looking down, she noticed a soft blue light coming from her friend's chest. "...Sparkle, what is that?"
She didn't seem to comprehend the question at first. "...you know what it is, Vinyl."
Without a word, the DJ's eyes flickered from her friend's glowing chest to her face and back.
Finally, after a good minute of silence, it dawned on her. "You're not from this dimension."
Vinyl cringed, backing up a bit. "...that obvious, huh?"
Twilight shook her head, smirking a bit. "Not that hard to guess, especially since it has happened once before."
She blinked, looking at the librarian with shock. "Somepony's leaped here, before?"
"Yes," she began, slowly walking over to the destroyed television, "but Sweetie didn't cause this much damage."
With a sigh, the white mare walked over to Twilight. "Really sorry about that." Then a thought occurred to her. "When am I?"
This did surprise Twilight, if her raised eyebrow were any indication. "It's 2020, Vinyl." A lazy smile crossed her face. "You're probably wondering why everything looks so different. Well, it all started when a pony beat my loyal assistant in a rap battle two years ago."
Vinyl's eyes couldn't be any wider without popping out of her head. "Silver Spoon?"
Twilight nodded, giggling softly. "That win gave her enough confidence to get out from under Tiara's hoof. She went on to apply her knowledge of science..." She trailed off, seeing that Vinyl was in shock. Rolling her eyes, she turned to leave the room. "I'll finish my explanation later, after you get some rest."
Of course, Twilight didn't expect Vinyl to be taken away by a convenient plot device. Or, in this case, the familiar force.
Universe Alpha
Fluttershy sat in between her two friends. She didn't focus her attention on the two ponies, though. No, her attention was focused on the book laying on the table.
Dash was sitting on one side, smirking slightly. "I won, Twi. So just hoof the book over."
Twilight, having just returned from another attempt to bring Vinyl back, just huffed in annoyance. "No. We listen to what Fluttershy has to say. I have a good feeling about this."
The two turned to the timid mare, who was currently flipping through the book. "...Fluttershy?"
She glanced up, surprised. "...oh...sorry, Twilight...I was just wondering...w-where did you get this?"
"Ditzy delivered it to me. Why do you ask?"
"...oh, no reason..." She tapped her hooves, hiding behind her hair. "...j-just curious..."
"Enough of this!" Rainbow slammed her hooves on the table, standing up and growling slightly. "I just wanna know who won!"
Fluttershy hid under the table, too scared to try and count the votes now.
The two mares looked at each other, frowning slightly. "...now who's going to count the votes?"
At that moment, a portal opened up above the table. Panicking, the ponies backed away from it. They watched as a white form fell out and slammed into the surface before the swirling opening disappeared as fast as it came.
Slowly, they approached the unconscious mare, immediately recognizing the shock of blue hair. "...Vinyl?"
She carefully opened one eye, glancing from one pony to another, taking in their shocked expressions. "...hey, dudes...what'd I miss?"
After putting the white unicorn on a sofa, they gave her a lengthy explanation. The three looked at her expectantly.
This didn't go unnoticed by her. "I suppose you wanna know what I've been up to." Three heads nodded. She put a hoof to her chin, considering. "How to put this...I traveled to different dimensions and saw what would've happened if certain ponies won instead of the ones that did." She shrugged, taking her phone and casually browsing it. "I also met E. He was a decent guy, if a little scruffy."
There was an awkward silence, and then a hoof was raised. "...um...who's 'E'?"
Vinyl waved a hoof dismissively. "He's not important." She put her phone away and turned to Twilight, smiling slightly. "Congrats, Twi. You won by a landslide."
Twilight smiled briefly before a thought occurred, changing it to a frown. Looking at Dash, she spoke, albeit hesitantly. "...I know this must be hard for you, Rainbow...maybe we can just call off the bet?"
"No, no." Dash smiled brightly, but her tears betrayed her sadness. "You won, and what am I without my word?" She sighed, then, without a word, turned to leave.
"There's something you forgot, Rainbow."
They all stopped, turning to Fluttershy. "You said the bet was 'for a month, you can't take that book'." She pointed at the book on the table. "I have another copy of the book. I could lend you that...I mean, if you want me to..." She squeaked, hiding behind her mane once more.
Rainbow walked up, confused. "What do you mean, 'Shy? I thought this book wasn't to come out for another week or so."
"...um...t-that's true...but..." She took a deep breath, looking up into her best friend's eyes. "...I have another copy...because I wrote the series."
Twilight and Rainbow sat there, stunned. Vinyl, however, just wore a small smile on her face. "...'bout time you told them..."
"Twily?"
Four heads turned, locking onto the white stallion standing in the doorway, eight eyes wide in surprise. Twilight, being the first to recover, broke the silence.
"...Shining?"
Here it is! I referenced a few fanfics in this one, even if I put my own spin on them. Twilight won, 87 to 16.
Now, you may think you have an idea of who is in the next rap battle. And you might just be correct. It doesn't mean that I'll be sharing it with just anyone, though.
That being said, I still need to finish the story part of the seventeenth rap battle. It's harder than one would think, trying to come up with why the characters are participating in rap battles...
"And your pro says that people who write fanfics have no imagination!"
That's not what he said. He said that they should try applying their talents to original stories. Which is still rude, I digress.
Anyways, we decided on trying to write 'Octavia's Adventures'. Hopefully that turns out well, or at least better than trying to do rap battle videos on Source Filmmaker...
Have a nice day!
Enigma out.~
Fluttershy wrote Daring Do? Didn't see that coming.
I knew it! Twilight is best pony rapper. And I still want to know what the heck ever happened to the weeping pegasi in the basement. Did I miss something or have you just completely dropped them. I thought they had something to do with Vinyl getting sent out of her universe in the first place.
Oh dear god, that would be hard to get just right.
1486486
see 'The Many Secret Origins of Scootaloo', fluttershy's chapter.
1486491
they did cause vinyl's problems, with some influence...that gets explained later on.
God...Sweetie Cronicles...I think...I did not read the one one Scootaloo origins since it didn't peak my interest...Good chapter though
1486502 Hhmmm.... Good enough for me So..... Shining in a rap battle? I can think of several possible oponents that you might have picked. Big Mac, Twilight, Cadence.......... This should be good no matter who he faces.
So she wrote the Daring Do series...I wonder if she already knows about my unofficial fanfic that ticked off Rainbow
Oh dear...
Awaiting further releases.
Shining vs Blueblood. THAT should be EPIC!!!

I always use images to convey my thoughts.
Fluttershy is best author.
Source filmmaker.......Ya good luck with that
Fluttershy writing the Daring Do series is familiar to me. After seeing the idea in Secret Origins of Scootaloo, I have accepted it into my Headcanon. Of course, this also means that her last name would be Braveheart. I approve of the reference!
Do you know something we don't? 'Cause I don't recall Twilight going Iron Mare in the Sweetie Chronicles yet.
1487061
like i said, i put my own twist on it. though i suppose that was a little confusing for most... anyways, it was mostly for fun, as i'm not privy to any information about that and would like to read 'the sweetie chronicles' sometime soon.
Is Fluttershy best author? If so,
1487075
Wait... You're referencing the Sweetie Chronicles, without actually having read the Sweetie Chronicles?
Bad Enigma.
XD
1487261
i did the same for 'cupcakes' and 'sweet apple massacre'. in my defense, i read a story with sweetie belle from the chronicles by the person who wrote the chronicles...does that count?
1487287
Guessing--HiE: The Wanderer D Experiment?
I actually read that before I read the Sweetie Chronicles. Both are awesome, the latter is more so by miles.
I recommend pushing it up on that list of ~1,000 stories you got there.
EDIT: Or was it the chapters that was >1,000? I feel kinda terrible for you there, man. I have, like, 90 stories on my RL and like 50 unread Fav chapters. And I though I had it kinda bad.
1487323
1140 'read laters' and 386 chapters.
Fluttershy is a true friend
Giving out a book she wrote to her friend
How heartwarming
1487367 Have you seen "My Little Caboose"? That have over 200 chapters .
1487367
That is just terrible.
But, yeah. You should consider reading the Sweetie Chronicles soon. Because it rocks.
I believe it's supposed to be 'leapt'.
And I believe there actually was a fanfic where Twilight was Iron Pony. I can't recall the name though...
1486615 unofficial? if thats what happened then screwed screwed at my shitstorm of horrible storys coming up.
PS. get writing some more bleach and uilquirra i dont give a fuck howta spell cuatros real name but get writing it!!!!!!!!!

But I'll get back to it soon enough, I have work to do
Soft blue light coming from Twilight's chest?
Nice to know I'm not the only one who reads The Rise of Iron Mare.
1490105
oh, so that's the name of the fanfic! thank you, i was driving myself buggy trying to recall what the title was!
1487367
That makes me feel much better about my 70 and 354, respectively.
Fluttershy wrote Daring Do?
Anyways, Shining vs Blueblood would be awesome! But I'd go with Shining vs Chrysalis or vs Big Mac, whatever the reason.
Yay twilight!
I look forward to 17
1486697
No.
Nice try though.
1497438
I choose them because they seem to be perfect for having bad blood started over some stupid little shit.
Shit escalates. Then...

Who said it had to be? I don't think that Vinyl jumping dimensions is correct but I don't say anything because the story line is good.
cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/24316644.jpg
That is all.
I always use images to convey my thoughts.
The Rise of Iron Mare, and I love that story, even more so because it had some bad ass characters and I'm hoping to see Spilight in that story, also this chapter is awesome, yo you need any help with Octavia's travels, let me know Eni, will await more1488739
1500587
Just trying to help you out, so you don't get your hopes up.
But i respect your opinion Mr. Unicorn so
ARMOR VS. CADENCE!!
Dammit, waifu.
1490159 Well, from reading several mlp fanfics, I now officially know some rules of most mlp fics: Nyx is real, Fluttershy writes Daring Do, and... something else that's on the tip of my tongue but I can't seem to remember for whatever stupid reason
Shining Armor vs. Blueblood anyone?
I feel like this one's been coming for a loooooong time.
1486486 You should read "The Many Secret Origins of Scootaloo". That's probably where the reference came from.
*teliport* *acts as if nothing happend* LOVED IT
1488739 they mentioned a pony had been from another dimention here before and it was sweetie bell? That would be a reference to "The Sweetie chronicles".
1488739 Its Iron Mare
My curiosity is quipped. what fanfic is being referenced with all the tech?
