> My Life is Warped > by Mister E-Nonymous > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue: The Bet and the Consequences > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Life is Warped Prologue: The Bet and the Consequences In the city of Seattle, Washington, Raymond Dallas, a senior student of the University of Washington, was going to start packing his bags so he'll be able to move into a new apartment with his pregnant girlfriend. Raymond was 5 foot 2 inches tall. Sure he was short, but he is very athletic. He got into the college thanks to a wrestling scholarship. He had dusty blonde hair, hazel eyes, and wears a red tank top with black pants that aren't that heavy. He was about to move out of an apartment that has two roommates to split the rent, Steve and Fred. Fred was 6 foot 2 inches and skinny man. He has light brown hair and green eyes. He wears a red T shirt with a white long sleeved shirt under it, a gray pair of shorts, gray socks and black and green shoes. Steve was slightly shorter than Fred, 6 foot even, and had a well built body. He has short black hair, and dark brown eyes. He wears a football jersey that represents his school colors with the number 05 on it. He wears black jeans, and red and black tennis shoes. He was getting started on moving out until there was a knocking on his door. He walked over to the door and out of his bedroom was Steve. He then asked, "What is it, Steve?" "Bro, your girlfriend is here," said Steve. Then Raymond walked towards the living room and saw his 2 month pregnant girlfriend sitting on the couch. She was happy to see her boyfriend walking up to her. "Hi, Sweet Cheeks," she said. "Hi, Alice," said Raymond. Alice was two inches taller than Raymond. She had some blonde hair, and light green eyes. She's wearing a pink tank top with some yoga pants that have enough room on her stomach for her pregnant belly to be comfortable. She also wore some pink knee socks, and black walking shoes with pink soles. "I thought I would come over and see how you were doing," Alice said to her boyfriend. "And just think. After we graduate, we'll be married and have a beautiful baby in our lives." "Yeah," said Raymond. "Speaking of which, our baby is healthy, right? You did go to the doctor's yesterday, didn't you?" "Oh, don't worry. The baby will be fine," said Alice. "I would be happy if the baby is either a boy or a girl. I hope we'll be great parents." "Yeah, I hope so, too," said Raymond. Then he leaned in for a kiss that lasted 15 seconds. As they broke the kiss, Fred came out and asked, "So, we're all out of food. You guys wanna head out for breakfast at IHOP?" "Sure," said me and Steve. "Mind if I join you?" asked Alice. "Sure," said Fred. "We don't mind, do we, Steve?" "No we don't," said Steve. Steve and Fred headed out while Raymond helped his girlfriend get up, and stood by her side when the two of them were heading to the door. They all got into Fred's Ford F-150. Luckily, he got one with enough leg room in the back for even grown ups to sit in the back. As they were heading towards IHOP, they were talking. "Raymond, it's gonna be a little sad to see you leave us," said Fred. "Yeah," said Steve. "You were awesome when you were winning all those bets we made you do." "Really?" asked Alice. "You two made bets with Raymond?" "And he always wins his bets," said Steve. "Like that one bet where he couldn't clean all of the windows and mirrors in the apartment with his feet in an hour or less. He almost lost, but he pulled it off at the end." "What were the conditions?" Alice asked. "He got to drive my truck until he could get his own car," said Steve. "But if he lost, he would clean Steve's truck wearing nothing but a bath towel," said Fred. "Wow," said Alice. "That must've been some bet." "Yeah, it was," said Steve. He then smirked and said, "Hey. How about one last bet before you officially move out of the apartment?" "Oh, yeah?" asked Raymond. "What do you have in mind?" "You have to run around University Park in under 5 minutes," said Steve. "Really?" asked Raymond. "Is that all?" "If you win, we'll pack all of your boxes into the moving trailer," said Fred. "But if you lose..." Steve said. He then smirked. "Well, a new yoga studio opened. If you lose, you have to take a class on Sunday." "Seriously?" asked Raymond. "Is that all?" "How about we raise the stakes?" Alice asked. "Who's side are you on?" Raymond asked. "It's not much of high stakes, now is it?" Alice asked. "Not only does he have to take a yoga class, but he has to do it dressed in female clothing." "Oohoo!" said Steve and Fred. "Do you accept the bet?" asked Steve. Raymond thought about it and then he said, "Alright. Let's do this. After breakfast." "Good idea," said Fred. Later that day, the four of them went to University Park. Raymond was getting ready to run. Fred had taken his phone out of his pocket so he can use the stopwatch on his phone. "Alright, Raymond," said Steve. "Remember, around the block within 5 minutes. You ready?" Raymond nodded. Then Fred said, "Ready... set... GO!" He then started the stopwatch and Raymond started running. He ran as fast as he could. He went around the first corner, and went down a narrow road. It took him a little while but he then turned around the second corner. There was another road in the block, but he decided not to take it. He continued and then went around the third corner. He the was about to go on and reach the end. He had about 15 seconds left. When he was about to to win, he then tripped on something and twisted his ankle. He shouted in pain and then he heard his girlfriend call out. "Raymond!" Fred looked at the stopwatch and saw that it went past the five minute mark. He then said, "Holy smokes! Raymond lost!" Then he and Steve ran towards Raymond to help him up. "Are you okay, Raymond?" Steve asked. "I twisted my ankle real good," said Raymond. "Well, I got bad news for you," said Fred. "You lost." Raymond lowered his head in shame. A bet was a bet. And he has to live up to it. Sunday came up. Raymond got up and was about to get dressed, but then there was a knocking at the door. He walked over to his bedroom door and saw Steve, Fred and Alice outside his door. And in Alice's hands was a plastic bag. "Oh, right," said Raymond. "The bet." "That's right," said Alice. "And I have the perfect outfit for you to wear." She walked into Raymond's room and walked over to his bed. "I made a few... adjustments to the outfit I want you to wear." She then pulled out a purple sports bra, a black tank top with cyan blue wings sown on the back, some purple panties, navy blue sweatpants with rainbow lightning bolts and a rainbow costume pony tail sown on the rear, some rainbow striped socks, and a wig. "Seriously?" Raymond asked. "I have to wear all of this?" "A bet is a bet," said Steve. "But, what is all of this?" Raymond asked. "It's stuff I got an idea from the show 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic' and 'Equestria Girls'," Alice said. "You're going to be attending one class with stuff that almost makes you look like Rainbow Dash." "Seriously?" Raymond asked, blushing. "Seriously," said Alice. "Go on, and put them all on." "This is going to be embarrassing," Raymond mumbled. Alice then closed the door after walking out. Raymond sighed and then he stripped down and put on the girly clothes. He then walked out of the room, adjusting the wig he was wearing. "Let's get going," said Alice. "Your class starts at nine." That made Raymond sigh. He then followed Alice, Steve and Fred out and they headed off to Steve's truck." They arrived at the new yoga studio. It was known as the Equestria Yoga Studio. "Equestria?" Raymond asked. "Yep," said Alice. She then pushed him inside and said, "Now, go on. You're gonna be late for your class." He was pushed inside and he saw a bunch of woman with colorful hair inside. And it turns out, he was the only man in the class. He got nervous and walked to an empty yoga mat. Just then, one woman came in. She had a hippy hairstyle with an orange bandanna with white flowers on it. She then said, "Nice to see our newest class member to join us." "I'm only here for one class," Raymond said. "Oh, don't worry," said the instructor. "You might want to take another class if you enjoyed it." "Not likely," said Raymond. The instructor then said, "Alright, class. Let's start off with a Bound Angle Pose to stretch out the muscles in your legs." All of the woman and Raymond then started doing what the instructor was telling them to do. The class was going to take a while for them to finish. But unbeknownst to Raymond's knowledge, his body was slowly changing, starting with his legs. His legs then started thinning, and the hair on his legs disappeared. His feet became smaller and feminine. Then his thighs started getting a little bigger, making his legs look more feminine. "Very good class," said the instructor. "Now, let's move into the downward dog position." The class then got up and started changing position. Raymond felt a little off, but he shrugged it off and got into the downward dog position. As soon as he got in position, he didn't notice the tingling sensation coming from his rear. His hips were starting to widen and his butt was starting to bloat. He was gaining the hips and the butt of a young woman. Raymond's crotch then started tingling. "It's probably nothing," Raymond thought to himself. "I'll just use the restroom once this class is over." But what he didn't know was that the tingling in his crotch was that his testicles were turning being pulled into his crotch, becoming ovaries. And that his penis was slowly pulling itself in, making it a vagina, officially making him female from the waste down. "Good job, class," said the instructor. "Now let's move into the chair pose." Then everyone stood up and then moved into a position that looks like they're sitting in a chair, and extending their arms into the air. Raymond didn't notice that her stomach area was pulling itself in. The fat in her stomach and her abs vanished and her figure curved in, giving her an hourglass body. "Now, everyone," said the instructor. "Lean back while standing perfectly straight." The class did as she told them, including Raymond. She failed to notice that her chest was swelling up, filling up the sports bra with a small set of B cup breasts. Then her arms then started getting smaller and her hands starting to get dainty. "Now, let's finish of the class by taking the corpse pose," said the instructor. Then everyone laid on their backs, stretching out all of the muscles in their body. And Raymond didn't notice that her face was starting to tingle. Her face then started rounding out, and the wig she was wearing fused with her head, making the wig her actual head, and becoming a pony tail in the back. Her nose shrank, her eyes got a little bigger, her Adam's Apple vanished, and her lips went a little puffy. "Alright class," said the instructor. "That was very good. I shall see you all again during our next class." Then most of the woman got up from their yoga mats, and started getting ready to leave. As for Raymond, she was a little embarrassed on getting up. She then sighed and said, "Well, at least I don't have to do this anymore." Her voice changed to of a raspy girl's voice. She didn't notice it when she spoke. She then went wide eyed. She sat up and asked herself, "What's wrong with my voice?!" She then looked down at her body and saw that she was in a completely different body, but still wearing the same outfit. "What's going on?" She then looked in the mirrors behind her and saw that she completely changes from top to bottom. She was freaking out until one woman in the class came up to her and hugged her. She had scarlet and orange hair. "That was a great first day of yoga class, Rainbow," said the woman. "Now, your mom knows how to keep you loose for another year of high school. Happy 16th Birthday, Rainbow Dash." Raymond then went wide eyed in shock. First, he lost a bet and had to take a yoga class dressed as a girl. Second, he transformed into a 16 year old girl without even noticing the changes. And lastly, she noticed and now the woman who is currently hugging her thinks that Raymond is now that woman's daughter, and named Rainbow Dash. "What the heck is going on here?!" she thought loudly in her own head. "I've become... Rainbow Dash?!" > Chapter 1: What Happened to my Life?! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 1: What Happened to my Life?! Raymond was surprised and confused on what has happened to her. She was looking all over her body after her so called mother stopped hugging her. "What has happened to me?!" she thought. "I completely changed. What am I going to tell my friends?" She then widened her eyes with a revelation. "My friends! They might know what's going on." Raymond then walked out of the studio and saw only Steve and Fred, starting to walk away from the studio. She then started running towards them. "Steve! Fred! Help me!" Raymond called out as she was running up to them. The two of them turned around in confusion. "My body changed! You gotta help me!" The two of them looked at each other in confusion, and then looked back at Raymond and said, "Sorry, girl. But we don't know who you are." "What?!" Raymond asked. "You don't know..." She then noticed. Alice wasn't with them. "Wait a minute. Where's Alice?" "Alice?" asked Fred. "That cheerleader who's working at the diner?" "Wait! Alice is working?" Raymond thought in her head. "She shouldn't be working! She's pregnant!" "So, what is it that you want?" asked Steve. Raymond then started thinking until she finally asked, "Tell me one thing. Do you know a young man named Raymond Dallas?" "Raymond Dallas?" asked Fred. "Doesn't ring any bells." "Nope," said Steve. "Never heard of anyone named Raymond Dallas. Anyway, we gotta go." Then the two of them started running. "But... but... but..." Raymond said as she stood there shocked. She then got angry and was about to chase them. "Hang on! I still need to talk to you!" She was then stopped when someone grabbed her arm. She looked behind her and saw her "mother" was the one who grabbed her. "Aren't those boys a little old for you to be either of your boyfriends?" asked the woman. Raymond went wide eyed and thought, "She thinks I was wanting to date them?! That's not what I was trying to do! I need to get out of here!" She then looked up at the woman and said, "Uh... I... have to... go for a walk. I'll... catch up later." "Okay, honey," she said, then giving Raymond a kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you when you get back home. Here's your stuff." She then handed Raymond a blue and yellow duffel bag. There were yellow lightning bolts all across it. Then the woman started heading off. "Okay, okay," Raymond thought, still freaking out. "It's nothing too bad. You're completely in a girl's body in a different reality where Raymond Dallas probably doesn't exist. You got this." She then started mentally freaking out. "Oh, who am I kidding?! I don't got this! My life it totally warped! I need to find a way to get back to normal and back into my own reality! If only somebody could help me!" She then started thinking. Then she got an idea. "Alice!" She then started heading off somewhere. Raymond ran all over the city to find Alice. Eventually, she found Alice at Roxy's Diner. She and another woman were coming out of the diner. Raymond looked over at Alice and saw that Alice didn't have a two month pregnant belly. Which means she wasn't pregnant. "My child, too?!" Raymond thought. "Has everything in my life changed? I gotta make things right! Starting with Alice!" She then started running up to Alice, but stopped when she overheard Alice's conversation. "I know, Sasha," Alice said. "But it's been so hard trying to find the right man. Just about every man in college is just about a snobbish jerk. There aren't any nice guys around my age that I could fall for. I just wish there was someone for me to date." Raymond hid in an alley, listening in on Alice's conversation. As soon as Alice finished, Raymond's eye started getting full of tears. She then thought, "My own girlfriend isn't even dating someone? Oh, why did this happen to me. I gotta make things right!" She then started getting up and then tried getting to her old girlfriend, but tripped and landed on the ground, scraping both of her arms. "Ow!" Alice and her friend turned to see Raymond on the ground. Raymond looked at her arms to see that she scraped them. Alice walked towards Raymond and asked, "Are you alright?" Raymond got worried. She then nervously said, "Y-yeah. I'll be fine." "Oh, you poor thing," Alice said. "Your arms are scraped up. Let me patch you up." She then looked over at her friend and said, "I'll see you back at the dorm, Sasha." Sasha nodded and headed off. Alice then carried Raymond over to a bus stop and brought out a small first aid kit from her purse. "Let's get you disinfected and then I'll bandage you up." She then rubbed some disinfectant wipes on Raymond's arms. "So, you've been here long?" Raymond thought about what she should say to what was supposed to be her girlfriend before she changed. She didn't know what to say to her. So, she said to Alice, "Uh... a while." "Wait a minute, I know you," said Alice. "Y-you do?" Raymond asked. "Of course," said Alice. "You're Rainbow Dash. The one of the top five best athletes in the entire state of Washington. Best in Cross-Country, Volleyball and Soccer. You're an inspiration to other athletes across the state." "Cross-Country? Volleyball? Soccer?" Raymond thought to himself. "Those aren't the sports I'm into. I prefer sports like wrestling and hockey." "And that hair of yours is so colorful," said Alice. "Your hair looks so natural." "Uhh..." Raymond said. She then remembered that she was wearing a wig. She then tried taking it off, but it was stuck. The hair didn't feel fake at all, but real. "Hey, be careful with your hair," said Alice. "Well, I have to get on back to my dorm. Hopefully, you can get into a good college." "College?!" Raymond thought. "Oh, no. I completely forgot! I lost six years of living, and I probably have to go back to high school! I can't relive another two years of high school and restart another four years of college. I worked hard to get into the University of Washington." He didn't notice that Alice left and her arms were fully bandaged over the scrapes. She looked around to see if she could find Alice. There was no sign of Alice. Then she got out her bag and saw a cell phone with a blue case with small symbols that had a cloud with a rainbow bolt of lightning coming out of it. It also had a flap with pockets for cards, cash or ID. "Even my cell phone changed?" Raymond asked herself. She then looked at the school ID, and saw it was the face I had currently. "Oh, c'mon! Even my picture? What else could have changed?" She then put the ID back into the pocket, but then her phone started ringing. She then looked at the caller ID and it said Dad. "Oh, boy." She then answered the phone and said, "Hello?" "Hey, Rainbow Dash!" came the raspy voice of a male adult that Raymond didn't know. "You mind picking up an order from the bakery. You mind picking it up for us?" "Uh... sure," said Raymond. "Thanks, Rainbow Dash," said "Rainbow's" "Dad". "I'll see you when you get home." He then hung up. "Home?" Raymond thought to himself. "Where exactly is this Rainbow Dash's home?! The only home I know here is in that apartment I live at with Steve and Fred." She then looked back at her phone and said, "Well, I'm gonna have ta look up where this girl lives." She then opened the map app on her phone and searched for her home in this reality. Turns out, it was the same exact place she used to live as her old life did. "Great. Of course it had to be in the exact same address as I did when I was a college student. Might as well go to the bakery and pick up what this world's version of my dad wants me to pick up for him." She then sighed. Raymond went by the bakery to pick something up. She was told by the baker that the order was already paid for. Raymond then walked towards her home. She eventually made it and saw that the parking garage of where the vehicles of where me, Steve and Fred park our cars. But instead, there were just two cars in the parking lots. Both of them were Ford Mustangs. One car was a red convertible when the other was white. "Seriously?" Raymond asked. "My car, too? I had a perfectly good Ford Shelby, and now it's gone." She then sighed and mumbled, "I want my life back." She then walked towards the stairs and headed to her apartment. She walked up to the apartment she was used to living in. Raymond sighed and said, "Well, here goes nothing." She then opened the door and inside, she saw that the apartment she lived in was now different. Now it was the apartment that belonged to a small family. She looked around to see if anyone was home. She didn't see anyone at first. She then put the box she got from the bakery on the kitchen counter. That was then she was grabbed by someone wrapping their arms around Raymond's waste. "Hey, Rainbow Dash!" came a young girl's voice. Raymond looked down at her and saw a girl that's at least 10 years old. She has dark purple hair. Raymond didn't know what to do. She then faked a smile and said, "Uh... hey, uh... squirt..." "Hey, Rainbow Dash!" she said. "You wanna play that racing game we got two months ago?" "Uhhh..." Raymond said, not knowing what to say. "I... I really don't feel that good. Maybe..." "But you always wanted to play Wild Racers with me," said the smaller girl. "Ever since you and your family took me in after... you know. What happened to my parents." Raymond didn't know this girl, but since the girl that Raymond has become liked doing stuff with this girl. She didn't want the little girl to be disappointed. She sighed and said, "Okay. "But first, I have to use the bathroom." "Alright," said the girl. "I'll set up the game. Let's show everyone in the world that no one is better than the team play of Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo!" "Scootaloo? Is that this girl's name?" Raymond thought. "And what happened to her parents?" She then had a realization. "Did her parents...? Oh. Poor kid. Well, I guess that this... Rainbow Dash did the right thing on bringing her in to stay with her family." She then went into the bathroom. When she reached the bathroom, she tried to pee like boys do. But then she remembered. "Oh, right. I'm not a boy anymore." She then sat on the toilet seat and released the urine she had been holding. She then remembered what her girlfriend said about the outfit she was wearing. "It's stuff I got an idea from the show 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic' and 'Equestria Girls'. You're going to be attending one class with stuff that almost makes you look like Rainbow Dash." She then pulled out her phone and started looking up the show. But something surprised her. She then thought, "What? What do you mean that there is no show known as My Little Pony?" She then looked down at her body and whispered, "I shouldn't even be in this body." She then finished using the toilet and flushed it. She walked over towards the sink and washed her hands. She then looked at her reflection and saw the face that she saw back in the mirror of the yoga studio. She then said, "I guess this is my life now. And there's nothing I can do." She then sighed, got a little upset and said, "No. This shouldn't be possible. I must find a way to get back into my body and reality." She then walked out of the bathroom, looking around where the girl, Scootaloo, went. She then looked in the rooms, starting with the one closest to the bathroom. That room was locked. She sighed, and then walked towards the rooms at the end of the end of the hall. Then she heard the kid's voice. "Rainbow Dash, c'mon! I already got the game set up!" Raymond sighed and went into the room where Scootaloo went into. It was her room when she was still a young man. But everything was different. The bed covers were blue with yellow lightning bolts, there was a trophy case with a lot of trophies and medals. There was a dresser by the bed, and it had the colors of the rainbow, and some girls deodorant some lip care products. And in her closet, instead of the polo shirts and other clothes that men hang in their closet, there were some dresses and jackets in her size. "Well, you comin' or what?" came Scootaloo's voice. Scootaloo was sitting on the bed and got the game setup. She then got up off the bed, walked over to Raymond, closed the door and then pulled Raymond towards the bed. Raymond was then handed a video game controller. Then they started playing the game. The two of them were playing that game for the next two hours. They finished their racing game. Just then, Scootaloo got up. "Where are you going?" Raymond asked. "I gotta use the bathroom," said Scootaloo. "I'll be right back." She then went out of the room and closed it. Raymond sighed and looked around. She decided to look into the drawers of clothes she had. There were a lot of girl clothes, mostly athletic shirts. She then looked at the underwear drawer and saw a bunch of sports bras, sports panties and socks. She then looked into the pants drawers, and saw a bunch of yoga pants, running pants and shorts. "Seriously?" Raymond asked herself quietly. "All I have in my drawers are girly sport clothes?" She then sighed. "Guess I have no choice but to wear them." She then opened one more drawer and saw a bunch of girls pajamas. That made Raymond sigh. "Hey, Rainbow Dash!" came the voice of Scootaloo from outside the room. "There's someone at the door here for you!" Raymond then sighed and said, "Guess I have no choice but to go." She then went out of her room and saw that the end entrance of the hall was covered by black blankets. "Hello?! Is anyone there?" She walked through the blankets and was surprised on what she saw. "Surprise!" A bunch of people were in the apartment, surprising her. Then that woman who was Rainbow Dash's mother, along with a man with rainbow hair in a buzz cut, wearing a green button up shirt with a white shirt underneath, and some blue jeans walked up behind Raymond, surprising her. "Happy Birthday, Rainbow Dash!" both of them said. "Oh, you've become such a big girl ever since I held you in my arms," said "Rainbow's" Mom. "I love you so much." "I love you just as much, Rainbow Dash!" said the man. "You know how much your pops enjoys how you are at those sports!" "I... I... don't... know what to say..." said Raymond. "Speechless," said "Rainbow's" mom. "Now, let's get this party started." "This is gonna be a long day," Raymond thought. She then sighed. It was already getting dark outside. A bunch of people had already given Raymond a bunch of birthday presents meant for Rainbow Dash. Raymond didn't know what to do, but to keep Rainbow's present in her closet. "Oh, Rainbow," came the voice of Rainbow's mother. Raymond turned around and saw Rainbow's mother with a small box in her hands. "There's one more thing. Here." Raymond took the box and opened it up. Raymond looked inside and their was a rainbow striped bikini top with red outlines. And the bikini bottom was red with a rainbow outline. Raymond then said, "A bikini?" "That's right," said Rainbow's mom. "Since school starts a week from Wednesday, we're going to take the next five days at a beach down south. We already got plane tickets and we'll be leaving tomorrow. So, go ahead and pack up your things. We'll take Tank to the kennel tomorrow." Raymond was about to ask who Tank was, but then she felt something rubbing against her leg. She looked down and saw a tortoise. Rainbow's mom then picked up the tortoise. "Go on ahead and pack up. We got a flight tomorrow at 10:00," said Rainbow's mom. "Your suitcase is in your closet." Raymond nodded and then walked towards her room. She walked towards the closet and opened it up. She saw the suitcase and pulled it out. "I hope when I wake up tomorrow, everything will be back to normal," Raymond thought. "I really don't want to spend the rest of my life as a rainbow haired girl with a family I don't know." Raymond then started packing up some clothes that the girl she turn into would wear. Mostly the summer wear. She then finished packing and then she smelt herself. "Hoowee!" Raymond said. "I stink. Or rather... You know what. Never mind. I better get cleaned up." Raymond then stripped herself out of her clothes, put on a bathrobe, and walked towards the bathroom. "Hey, Rainbow!" came Rainbow's father's voice. "Heading to take a shower? Well make it a quick shower. You know your adopted sister really likes her bath time." "Rainbow Dash only takes showers?!" Raymond thought. "I really don't like showers unless I really have to." She then sighed and walked towards the shower. She then went into the shower and started cleaning herself. In the middle of the night, Raymond was fast asleep. She was in a pair of Rainbow's pajamas. But as she was sleeping, she was going through another change. This time, her skin was turning into a different color. It went from a tan color to cyan blue. She didn't seem to notice. The next morning went by in a flash. Raymond was coming to. She woke up and looked down at her body. She then thought, "Great. I thought I would wake up back in my old body. Guess I was wrong." She then headed towards the bathroom. She looked at the mirror for a second before using the toilet. But then she went wide eyed and went back to looking at the mirror. She saw that not only her skin changed, but also the color of her eyes. Instead of her eyes being hazel, they were now magenta colored. "You've got to be kidding me! My skin! My eyes! No way these guys aren't gonna notice that their rainbow haired girl didn't change her skin color or eye color!" Just then, the room across the bathroom opened up and the girl who was Rainbow's adoptive sister came out. Her skin color was also orange, and her eyes were purple. She looked up at Raymond and said, "Hey, Rainbow Dash! You ready for the trip?!" "Uhhhh... I guess so..." Raymond said nervously. "Are you okay, Rainbow Dash?" asked Scootaloo. "You seem a little nervous." "I'll... I'll be okay," said Raymond. "Why don't you go on and get breakfast?" "I thought we were going to be eating breakfast at the airport," said Scootaloo. "Oh, right," said Raymond. "Do you mind if... I have a little privacy?" "Oh, of course," said Scootaloo. Raymond closed the bathroom door, looked at the bathroom and said, "My gender. My hair. My skin. My eyes. What else does reality want to mess up in my life? I'm hating this more and more." > Chapter 2: The Vacation You'll Never Forget > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2: The Vacation You'll Never Forget Raymond and Rainbow's family went to the airport and got their stuff ready to leave for their vacation. Raymond was really freaking out about her life still changing. Especially the people around her. She saw that all of the humans had different colored skin, hair and eyes. No one was familiar to her. It's like she's in a whole new world. "Alright, everyone," said Rainbow's mom. "The flight leaves in an hour. Everyone eat up quickly." Unfortunately, even all of the stores and restaurants changed. The restaurants were now all vegan. Raymond hates eating vegetarian food. But her entire diet changed as well. She found that the hard way when she was eating the food. Just then, a woman called out on the PA System. "Flight to Las Pegasus, now boarding." "Las Pegasus?! Now it's the locations? Am I even on the same planet anymore?" Raymond thought to herself. "This is a huge nightmare. What is causing me and my reality to change? And why am I the only one to notice the changes?!" Raymond's left arm was grabbed by Scootaloo, who was saying, "C'mon, Rainbow Dash! That's our flight!" They were then put into their assigned seating. Raymond was looking out of the window right after the plane took off. She was getting worried. What was she going to do if there was no way to change back into her original body and be called Raymond Dallas again instead of Rainbow Dash. Just then, Raymond's left shoulder was tapped by Scootaloo. "Hey, Rainbow, your mom wants to talk to you," Scootaloo told Raymond. Raymond looked over towards Rainbow's mother. She got up from her seat and leaned her head closer to the woman. "Listen, Rainbow Dash," said Rainbow's mother, "I got us some instructional yoga classes on DVD so we'll be able to do our yoga at the hotel. I saw that you didn't pack any yoga clothes in your suitcase, so I packed up some in your suitcase while you were in the shower." "She packed yoga clothes into the suitcase I packed?!" Raymond thought. "I shouldn't have taken that bet at all. Why did I even take that bet?" "I'm sure that we'll get some time to do things here with our family and some things to do," said Rainbow's mom. "Something for all four of us, some with just us girl. Maybe just mix and match." "Attention, everyone. This is your captain speaking. We are just about to touch down in Las Pegasus. Please return to your seats and fasten your seat belts." The captain's announcement made Raymond return to her seat. She then fastened her seat belt and looked back out the window. She then sighed and thought, "This is gonna be a long trip. Why did Alice even make me dress this way? If I ever get back to my reality, I'm gonna pay her back." The four of them got to their hotel that was near the beach area of Applewood, and they got large hotel room with plenty of room for Raymond and Rainbow's mom to do some yoga. Raymond was getting more agitated. She was wanting to get back to her own reality. Rainbow's father then said, "So, you girls all want to hit the beach?" "Oh, Bow Hothoof," said Rainbow's mom. "You and Scootaloo go on ahead. Rainbow and I have to do our yoga." "Okay. That's troubling," Raymond thought. "What's worse for me? Going to the beach in a bikini? Or doing some yoga with a woman I don't know who claims to be the mother of this girl I've become? This is totally nuts!" "Alright, Windy Whistles," said Rainbow's dad, now known as Bow Hothoof. "You two girls get done quickly. We want you all to get plenty of sun." Then Bow Hothoof went into the bathroom after grabbing his swim shorts. 15 minutes later, Raymond and Windy Whistles were both in their yoga outfits, and Raymond's outfit had the cyan wings and rainbow pony tail on the back of the shirt and the pants. "Oh, honey," said Windy Whistles, "let me get your hair in a ponytail." She then started pulling Raymond's hair into a ponytail. Raymond squinted a little because her hair was being pulled. "There. All finished. Now, let's get started on yoga." Raymond sighed when Windy Whistles prepared to start the yoga session on her laptop. She got out two yoga mats and then the two of them got onto them. They did at least 30 minutes of yoga. Raymond was tired after doing all of that. Windy then said, "That wasn't so bad. Now, how about we get into our swimsuits and head to the beach with your father and adopted sister, Scootaloo?" Raymond nodded and said, "You know... I'm really tired. I don't know if it was the flight or the exercise, but I need some rest." "Alright, Rainbow," said Windy. "You stay here and rest. I'm gonna get changed and then head out to meet with your father." Raymond nodded. As soon as Windy changed into a swimsuit, she left. Raymond didn't change out of her yoga outfit. She wanted to get out of the outfit, but she was so tired. She then just laid on her bed and fell asleep without covering up. But when she was sleeping, she went through another change. One that she will never forget. Raymond's lower part of her face started stretching out into a pony's muzzle. It was a little unsettling for her, but not enough to wake her up. Her teeth transformed as well into the teeth of an equine's. Then her ears started wiggling. They were then moving to the top of her head, and turning into the ears of a pony. Then the blue skin transformed into blue fur going across her body. Then her hands started changing. The middle and ring fingers started merging into each other, leaving her with just four fingers. The same happened with the middle and ring toes on her feet. Raymond then started feeling uncomfortable on her backside, so she flipped over in her sleep, and her face looking towards her right. Just then, the wings on her outfit started twitching. Muscles and bones started growing from inside the wings on the outfit, making them real wings, and they were connecting into Raymond's backside, and no longer fake, nor connected to her outfit. Now all of her outfits had holes for the wings to go through with no problem. The tail then started gaining muscle and bone and connecting to Raymond's body, and there are now tail holes in all of her outfits for her tail to go through. She was no longer human, but an anthro pony. Raymond started coming to an hour after she fell asleep that day. She then sat up, unbeknownst to the changes she went through. She had the urge to use the bathroom, and went there. She walked past the bathroom mirror, giving it a quick glance before heading towards the toilet. But 2 seconds after she walked past it, she was fully awake, turned around, and looked back at her reflection. The reaction made her scream. "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!" she screamed. "Oh, my god! I turned part horse!" She then grabbed her ears. They twitched as she held them. The then touched her muzzle. Then she noticed that she had four fingers instead of five, and they were covered in blue fur. "This can't be happening! What else can go wrong?!" Then she felt a twitch on her back, she was about to reach her right hand to scratch it, but then the wings on her back spread out, making her wide eyed. "The wings are now real?! And connected to my back?! No, no no no no!" She then looked back at the tail near her rear. She could feel it moving as well. "This can't be happening to me! Why am I a human/pegasus hybrid?!" She felt her equine ears lower. "Why is this happening to me! I can't live my life as a human horse!" Just then, she heard her cell phone ringing. She walked over to her phone and saw that it was Windy Whistles trying to video chat. Raymond had no choice but to answer. "Um, hello?" She noticed that Windy Whistles was also the same kind of hybrid she was. "Hey, Rainbow," said Windy Whistles. "I'm glad you're awake. Listen, I forgot to bring my sunblock. Can you bring it down to the beach? You might as well join us for the rest of the day." "Umm... sure," Raymond said. "Thanks, honey," said Windy Whistles. "Go on and get into your bikini and come on down. See you soon." Windy Whistles then hung up, leaving Raymond wide eyed. She then grabbed the pillow on the bed she took, pulled the pillow against her muzzled face, and screamed into it. She had no choice but to take the outfit off. She then opened up her suitcase and saw that all of her outfits had wing holes and tail holes. She then sighed and pulled out the bikini she got for Rainbow's birthday, and went into the bathroom. "My gender, my hair, my skin, my eyes and now my humanity?!" Raymond thought in her head. "My life is completely gone! I have nothing left but my memories!" She then looked at her new body. She then pulled off the outfit she was in, and the wings and tail went through the holes in her outfit. Her wings then folded themselves back into position. "That's something I have to get used to. The down side, I completely lost my body from head to toe. The up side, I can fly. But that won't matter until I find a way to get back to my normal body. I don't want to be this way." She was talking to herself while undressing herself out of the yoga outfit and into the bikini she got. She then saw herself in the mirror in her bikini and said to her reflection, "I really hate this." She then saw the mark on her thigh. "You've got to be kidding me," said Raymond. After leaving the hotel with a towel, sunglasses and the sunscreen that Windy wanted her to bring, Raymond eventually made it to the beach. She saw Rainbow's family, now all as human ponies, by the picnic table area and walked over to them. Windy Whistles was sitting in a beach chair, being covered by a portable gazebo, trying to keep herself out of the sun. "I'm here," Raymond said. Windy Whistles saw her come up and said, "Oh, Rainbow Dash, just in time. Let's get lathered up in sunscreen. You're going to need it, honey." She took the bottle of sunscreen out of Raymond's hand, and then started lathering herself up. "Rainbow, can you please get my back?" "Oh, fine," said Raymond. She then went behind Windy, and rubbed some sunscreen on her back. Just when she started lathering Windy's back, Windy's wings spread out wide, freaking out Raymond. "Whoa!" "Sorry about that," said Windy. "They always pop up when someone puts sunscreen on your back. Now, as soon as you're finished back there, I'll help you get sunscreen on your back and wings." "I have to put this stuff on her wings, too?" Raymond thought. "Oh, boy, this is going to be a lot more complicated." Raymond decided to spend the day resting in the sun. She wasn't in the mood to do anything. She was thinking of ways for her to get back to her normal body. She was in deep thought. She was thinking of how she transformed in the first place. When she changed gender and the wig became her actual hair, she was doing yoga. She was asleep when her skin and eyes turn different colors. And lately, she changed species when she was taking a nap after the yoga class. It was starting to come to her. When she was changing, she was occupied or asleep. "Okay. It occurs to me that I was able to change when I was occupied with something or asleep. But how am I ever going to change back into my normal body and go by Raymond Dal..." Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard someone's voice. "Well, look at what we got here? The one I love has come to find me." Raymond looked towards the voice and saw a pegasus walking towards her with the cheesiest flirting face she has ever saw. His pale gold mane was done up in a bun, and his coat was a pale aquamarine. "I knew eventually, the young mare of my dreams would come looking for me," said the young stallion. "Well, you found me. Let's go somewhere alone so we can make love." Raymond then got angry, pushed the stallion away and said, "Gross! No way! Stay away from me!" "C'mon, Rainbow Dash," said the stallion. "It's me. Zephyr Breeze, the love of your life." "Hey! What are you doing with my daughter?!" came Bow Hothoof's voice. Rainbow Dash and Zephyr Breeze looked towards where the voice came from and saw Bow Hothoof, Windy Whistles and Scootaloo walking towards them. "Relax, sir," said Zephyr Breeze. "Can't a couple of lovebirds see each other again?" "Dude," Scootaloo said, "how many times does everypony have to tell you? Rainbow Dash is not interested in you. Never was. Never will be." Raymond exhaled in relief and thought, "Thank you, Scootaloo. You saved my butt. Or flank. Or tail. Or... whatever." "Rainbow Dash?" Zephyr Breeze asked, looking at Raymond. "Is this true? Are you not interested in me?" "I... I'm not interested," Raymond said. "Listen, you really are a good guy, but you're just... not my type. I just need... time... to find the one I'm interested in." But in her mind, she was thinking, "Plus, I have to find a way to get back into my real body, my real reality, and have a talk with my girlfriend." Zephyr Breeze then sighed and said, "Okay. I was really hoping that the two of us could really get together. You know? Well, I hope you and my big sis, Fluttershy, and the rest of your friends will find someone special." He then walked away, sadly. Scootaloo walked up to Raymond and asked, "Rainbow? Are you okay?" "I'll be fine," Raymond said, quickly. "I just... I just need some..." "Hey, Rainbow," Windy said, cutting off Raymond. "It's okay. Why don't I get us all some milkshakes? I'm sure you'll be all right after a nice tasty beverage." Raymond looked down for a bit, then looked back up at Windy and said, "Yeah, I guess I can go for something cool." Windy Whistles smiled and walked away. Rainbow then started looking at the ocean with her sunglasses back on. Scootaloo then said, "You're lucky I saw that sad sap trying to flirt with you." Raymond looked at Scootaloo, then smiled. She then pulled Scootaloo in and gave her a noogie, saying, "Yeah. Thanks a lot, squirt." Scootaloo was laughing, trying to get Raymond to stop while saying, "Hey! Stop that!" "You're a good kid," Raymond said. He then thought, "Right now, when I was human, I wish I had a little sister like Scootaloo to look after me. She really is a good kid." Somewhere else in the world, a butter yellow pegasus girl with a long pink mane and tail was feeding some pet animals in their bins. "Now, now," she said. "Wait your turn. You'll all get your food as soon as I'm done filling up this one. There you go." She just finished up with the last of feeding the animals before she went to the back of the animal shelter to check out. In the back, an earth pony mare with a doctor's coat and scrubs was locking up on last injured animal. The mare had a light yellow coat and a mane and tail that was two gray shades of light blue. She saw the young mare and asked, "Checking out for the night, Fluttershy?" "Um... yes, Dr. Fauna," said Fluttershy. "It's the only thing to keep me occupied until... Oh... never mind." "Well, whatever's bugging you, I hope you get over it," said Dr. Fauna. Then the sound of a cell phone ringing came in. "Aren't you gonna get that?" Fluttershy nodded, then pulled out her phone. She looked at who was calling her, rolled her eyes and answered it, "Listen, Zephyr. I really don't have time to talk right now." "Sorry, Fluttershy," said Zephyr Breeze through the phone. "But I just learned that Rainbow Dash doesn't like me. Right from her own two lips." Fluttershy went wide eyed and said, "W-what? What did you say?" "Can you believe it?!" Zephyr said. "Rainbow Dash, the young mare I thought that was head over heels for me, doesn't like me. I think I need some time to think." "Oh, it's okay, Zephyr," said Fluttershy. "I'm sure you'll find somepony that'll like you for who you are. Just don't think they're head over heels for you. I gotta make another call. I'll see you when you get back. Bye." She then hung up, looked back at Dr. Fauna and said, "I... I have to make another call and head home." "Alright," said Dr. Fauna. "See you Tuesday afternoon." Fluttershy nodded, grabbed her backpack, and left the place. She then started making a group call with five friends of hers. Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Applejack. They all answered their phones and Fluttershy said, "Girls. You're not going to believe this. My brother, who's currently in Applewood, just saw Rainbow Dash. I believe that she's finally come back home." "Really? That's great, Fluttershy!" came one voice. "Do you know when she'll come back to Ponyville?" "Oh. I didn't ask, Twilight," said Fluttershy. "I don't think even Zephyr knows when she'll return." "Well, I hope that she comes back soon," said another voice. "Sunset's right, Fluttershy," came another voice. That one sounding elegant. "I just hope that she's not too far gone." "Yeah! Dashie is our friend!" came another voice, all peppy and fast talking. "We just want to know if she's okay and see if she remembers us." "Ah agree," came another voice speaking in a southern accent. "Twi, think ya can inform the other princesses about this?" "I'll send one immediately," said Twilight. "Rainbow Dash is going to need all of her friends to help her if she is in need of any help. Fluttershy, thanks for letting us know." "You're welcome," said Fluttershy. "I'll see you all tomorrow. Goodbye." She then hung up and headed off somewhere. Probably to her home. > Chapter 3: Home in... Ponyville? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 3: Home in... Ponyville? For Raymond, the next few days went by without any more changes to her body or the reality around her. She was wondering if there was any more changes that would happen to or around her. As Friday came, Raymond and Rainbow's family were packing up to leave. "I really hope my home didn't change around me. I really need something that reminds me of home right about now," Raymond thought as she was packing up. She looked back at her tail moving from left to right. Raymond then went deadpanned. "This tail I now have attached to my body is really starting to bug me." "Alright, everypony," said Bow Hothoof. "We better get going back to Ponyville. The plane to Canterlot will take off in four hours." "Ponyville? Canterlot? Why is this happening to me?!" Raymond thought to herself. Then they all headed out of the hotel room and got into the rental car, then started heading towards the airport. Raymond was getting more and more agitated about her being in a completely different body on a completely different world. She was trying to find out ways of getting back to her real world. But how will she explain that she's a human pony? This was going to be a big problem for her. Not only does she have to get back to her reality, but her old body as well. At least a normal human body. That night, they arrived in Ponyville. Scootaloo was asleep when they arrived at a completely different building that doesn't look like an apartment building. Bow Hothoof and Windy Whistles were unloading the luggage from the van from the airport. "Hey, Rainbow? You mind taking Scootaloo to her room and get her to bed?" Windy asked. Raymond thought about it. She looked over at Scootaloo, then smiled and said, "Yeah. I got this." She then removed the seat belt off of Scootaloo, picked her up and then got out of the van. "We'll take care of the luggage," said Bow Hothoof. "When you take her to her room upstairs, take off her clothes and put her pajamas on." "I have to strip Scootaloo out of her clothes?" Raymond thought. "Guess that's what a big sister has to do? Even though I'm not really her sister." Unbeknownst to any of them, they were being watched by an orange unicorn with a red and yellow. She was wearing a orange tank top, a black leather jacket, a purple skirt and black boots. She turned around, pulled out her phone and called her friends. "Alright, girls," said the orange unicorn. "Rainbow Dash has arrived back to her home. Tomorrow, meet up at her house and we'll come to check on her. See if she she knows us." "Good job, Sunset," came Twilight's voice. "We'll be there tomorrow to see her. Hopefully, she's okay." Meanwhile, inside, Raymond took Scootaloo into her room. The house was bigger than the apartment that Raymond was living in. She got Scootaloo out of her clothes, then looked in the drawers, looking for a pair of pajamas that Scootaloo had. She then slipped them onto Scootaloo's sleeping body, then put the covers over her. She then walked out of the room, and before she closed the door, Windy Whistles put Scootaloo's suitcase by the dirty laundry hamper. "She really is a good filly," Windy whispered. "Good thing you took her into our home after that tragic day when the fire killed her parents and her two aunts. If it weren't for you, she would've been alone for a while. At least we have another child here to make us all happy." Raymond looked at Scootaloo. Then smiled. She then said, "Yeah. She's a good kid." "Alright, Rainbow," said Windy. "I've already taken out yours and Scootaloo's dirty clothes. I'll take the laundry to the laundromat. You get yourself to bed." "Okay," Raymond said. She then headed towards one room that had the mark on Rainbow's thigh, and then saw that her room was a lot bigger than the old room she had in that apartment. She looked around and saw a huge trophy shelf full of trophies and medals for high school events like soccer, volleyball and... aerial racing? "What's... aerial racing?" Raymond asked herself. She then looked at a newspaper article that was under the aerial racing trophy. "'Rainbow Dash, a 9th Grader from the Ponyville K-12 School, has broken the world record of aerial racing record of 50 laps in just 5 minutes and 27 point 8 seconds, the previous record belonging to the legendary Wind Rider by 7 point 2 seconds.' Oh, boy, that's gonna be a problem. If all of these ponies are expecting me to be one of the greatest athlete's here, then I have to learn how to fly with these wings." She looked at the wings. She then yawned. "Well, I should get some sleep. It's been a long day." The next morning, Raymond found herself waking up in the room that was new to her. She looked at her body to see if there were any changes. Thankfully, there were none. "That's good," said Raymond. She then smelt herself. "Hoo! That stinks!" She looked around the room and saw another door leading somewhere. "That's odd. I wonder where that door leads." She got up and out of the bed, and walked into that room and saw it was a bathroom. With a shower. Raymond sighed and said, "It had to be a shower." She then went into the bathroom and got out of her clothing, and took a shower. While Rainbow Dash was taking a shower, the yellow pegasus, the light orange unicorn, and four other ponies went to the front door. There was a lavender alicorn with a dark blue mane and tail with a pink and purple streak wearing a blue button up blouse with a purple skirt, a white unicorn with a purple styled up mane wearing a lighter blue blouse and a purple skirt, a pink earth pony with a dark pink mane that looks like cotton candy wearing a white shirt with a heart, a small light blue best, and a pink skirt darker than her coat, and another earth pony with a blonde mane wearing a white button up shirt with green at the top, a stetson hat, a skirt that looks like a pair of jeans, and cowgirl boots. "Alright, everypony," said the purple alicorn. "Rainbow Dash has finally got back from wherever she's been. Princess Luna has gotten her back with nopony noticing. She said that Rainbow Dash has been taken to another reality. Now, we have to find out if she remembers us or not." "Okie dokie loki, Twilight!" said the pink pony. She then skipped towards the door and then rang the doorbell. Then the door opened, and on the other side was Bow Hothoof. He smiled and said, "Well, hello girls. If you're here to see the crusaders, they're not here at the moment." "Actually, we're here to see Rainbow Dash," Twilight said. "Is she here?" "Ooh, you came at a bad time," said Bow Hothoof. "She just got into the shower." "Well, we can wait til she gets out," said the orange earth pony. "Yeah," said Sunset. "We have to catch up on what happened recently." "Oh, I see," said Bow Hothoof. "Make yourself at home. She'll be down soon." He then lead the girls into the living room, and then headed upstairs towards Rainbow Dash's room. He then headed towards the bathroom door, knocked on it loudly and shouted, "Rainbow Dash!" In the shower, that caught Raymond's attention. She then asked, "Yeah, dad?!" She then sighed quietly and thought, "He's not really my dad. But I better keep up the appearance around him." "You're friends are here to see you!" Bow Hothoof said. "Listen, I have to get going to work at the weather factory! Remember to be home by dinner time if you go out!" "Uhhhh... Okay..." Raymond said. "I'll... be out as soon as I can." "Alright," said Bow Hothoof. "See you this evening." Raymond then heard Bow Hothoof walk out of the bedroom that belonged to Rainbow Dash. Raymond was getting a little nervous. How was she going to explain to Rainbow's friends that Raymond Dallas isn't Rainbow Dash? Eventually, Raymond got out of the shower, and then got dressed. As soon as she got dressed, wearing a white shirt, a purple sports bra and matching panties, and a blue track jacket and pants. She then headed out of the room. "These guys aren't my friends, but these guys are Rainbow Dash's," Raymond thought. "I gotta get back to my world, get back to normal and..." "DASHIE!!" the young pink mare said, wrapping her arms around Raymond's body. "Hey, get away from me!" Raymond said. She then pushed the pink pony off of her. That made the other girls gasp. "You... you don't recognize me? Do you?" the pink pony said, making her mane straighten out. "I'm sorry," Raymond said, "but I'm not really who you think I am. I'm just... I'm just a guy that's has been having a weird week." "Oh, my," said the white unicorn. "Twilight, you don't think we got the wrong one, do you?" "I... I don't know," Twilight said. "Princess Luna said that the true Rainbow Dash would come back to us from wherever she went to, and turn back into her normal self. She would even merge other realities to pull her through and back to our own." "What are you talking about?!" Raymond shouted. "It's... a little... complicated," said Twilight. She then looked at Sunset and nodded. Sunset walked over to Raymond, and grabbed Raymond's left arm. Then Sunset's eyes started glowing. "What is she doing?!" asked Raymond. "Just wait for it," said Twilight. "She's looking into your memories." "What?!" asked Raymond. "No way! I'm not letting some snoop seeing my personal life!" She then pulled her arm away from Sunset Shimmer. She then started running out of there. Before Raymond ran out of the house. "She's gettin' away!" said the orange earth pony. "I saw... just about everything in her memories," said Sunset. "It would seem... that the form she took... used to be a he." "What?!" asked the others. "Are you saying that our loyal, adventurous friend was in the body of a male creature?!" asked Rarity. "I saw just about all of her memories," said Sunset. "Before that guy became Rainbow Dash, that guy was named... Raymond Dallas. A college student about to start senior year." "Well, that's nice," said Twilight. "But, apparently, his life got messed up when he started transforming into Rainbow Dash," Sunset said. "He had his life set out for him, and he was about to move into a new apartment with his pregnant girlfriend. But then reality changed as he started changing. His girlfriend isn't even dating anyone, or even pregnant." "My goodness!" Rarity said. "We prevented that creature from becoming a father!" "Now, he's trying to come up with ways to go back to his reality in his normal body instead of being in our reality as Rainbow Dash," said Sunset. "Could it be possible that we've got the wrong creature that Rainbow Dash turned into?" Twilight asked. "Well, if this... Raymond Dallas... doesn't have Rainbow's memories, then she doesn't know where she's going or where to go. Let's go and find her!" Then Twilight, Sunset, Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy were about to go out the door until Pinkie shouted, "WAIT!!" The other girls looked back at Pinkie with raised eyebrows of confusion. "Nopony else is home. Shouldn't we lock the door?" "Good idea," said Rarity. "Let's go find Rainbow's house key and lock it up for Rainbow's family." They searched all over the house. Sunset went into Rainbow's room and saw Rainbow's house keys on the bedside table, next to her cell phone. Sunset grabbed the keys and cell phone and left. She then called out, "Got her keys!" Then all of them headed out the door. Before she locked up, she did a headcount. "Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rarity. Good." She then locked up the house and they all left to find Rainbow Dash. Raymond ran all over the town to get away from those six girls who claim to be her friends as Rainbow Dash. But she didn't know who they are. She was lost. "Where am I supposed to go? Do I ask someone?" she thought to herself. She then shook her head. "No way. Just about everyone here knows Rainbow Dash. If I ask for directions, they'll think I'm joking. I need to find a way to go back to my world and back to normal." She then sighed. "Alice. I need to find a way to get back to you somehow." She then saw the Golden Oaks Library. She ran over towards it and read the sign. "Golden Oaks Library. I bet this would be the last place those girls would look." She then went into the library and saw a bunch of books. She saw a bunch of books on shelves. She started looking at the different sections until she heard someone humming. She looked towards the humming and saw a purple dragon with green spikes. He was sweeping up the library floor humming a tune. He then called out, "Hello? Is somepony there?" Raymond then started hiding from the dragon. The dragon then started walking towards where Raymond was hiding. Raymond then ran quietly before the dragon could look around the corner. The dragon then shrugged and went back to sweeping. Raymond then looked back to see the dragon walking back towards where he was sweeping. "That was close." She then saw the section of books in front of her when she was hiding. "Magical spells? Maybe I can find something here to find myself a way to get back to my world." She then grabbed one book and saw that the spells were for unicorns or alicorns only. "Dang it. I got turned into a pegasus, not a unicorn." She then put the book back on the shelf. "Who's there?!" came the dragon's voice. Raymond then heard the pitter patter of the dragon's feet coming towards her. Raymond decided to grab one book and throw it across the room. Getting the attention of the dragon. He then said, "Wait a minute! Usually when something hits the wall on one side, there's someone on the other side trying to hide on the other side." The feet then started walking towards the other side where Raymond was. Raymond saw a door with a rope in front of it, and there was a sign on the rope, saying "Employees or Residents Only." Raymond snuck past it and went into the door and the door lead to a basement. She quietly closed the door so the dragon wouldn't be able to hear her. She then went down the stairs. She couldn't see anything because she didn't want to turn the lights on. "It's so pitch black down here," Raymond thought. "I can't see a thing. I might as well stay down here until this thing all blows over. First, I need to wait until the library closes and find a way to get back to my world." Then the lights came on, blinding her. She rubbed her eyes to recover her vision. But then, a magenta glow surrounded all of her limbs and picked her up. "What the heck?!" She then struggled to get out. "Let me go!" Then Twilight came from above the room and hovered in front of Raymond and both of them were at eye level. She then told Raymond, "Listen. I don't want to hurt you. I want to help you, I really do, but we have to do some research to send you back to your world and get you back your body." "Why should I trust you?!" Raymond shouted. "Last time you wanted to help your friend, you ruined my life! So let me go!" Twilight sighed and said, "I wish this wouldn't come down to this, but you leave me no choice." Twilight then brought Raymond to a circular device with shackles to hold a pony by it's arms, legs, or wings (if they have wings). "You're going to stay here until the other Princesses and our friends get here." Raymond was trying to struggle out of the device. But to Raymond's dismay, the shackles then got tighter when she struggled. She then grumbled and then started thinking about what these... princesses will do to her. > Chapter 4: What Do You Mean I'm Not From Earth?! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 4: What Do You Mean I'm Not From Earth?! Raymond was locked up in that same contraption for at least 2 hours. She was being watched by Sunset Shimmer, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and the dragon, now known as Spike, while Twilight was waiting outside for Princess Celestia. Raymond was still trying to struggle herself out of the device, but she stopped when her hands and feet started to lose blood pressure. "So, let me get this straight," Spike said. "Rainbow Dash finally came back, but only her body with something else's mind is in control of the mind." "That's right, Spike," said Sunset Shimmer. "Rainbow Dash might still be missing in that other world. But we don't know where the real Rainbow Dash is." "We need to find Dashie soon!" said Pinkie. "She's a very important pony in our lives! Ever since the Sonic Rainboom!" Raymond was about to say something, but then some thought went into her mind. Raymond was seeing a memory that was not his own. It was when Rainbow Dash was in flight camp. Rainbow Dash was standing up to three bullies that were being mean to Fluttershy. "Ooh, what are you gonna do, "Rainbow Crash"?" asked one of the bullies. "Keep making fun of her and find out!" Rainbow Dash said to him. "You think you're such a big shot? Why don't you prove it?" asked another bully. "Whaddya have in mind?" asked Rainbow Dash. Later, young Rainbow Dash and the two bullies were getting ready to start racing. Fluttershy held up the flag. She then waved the flag, and then young Rainbow Dash and the two bullies started racing. Rainbow Dash and the two bullies flew through some hoops made out of clouds. One of the two bullies crashed into a cloud column. Young Rainbow Dash was winning until the other bully purposely bumped into her. "Ha! Later, Rainbow Crash!" said the bully. Young Rainbow Dash growled angrily, and then she started flying down to the last hoop. She was accelerating to a speed. Right as she went through the last hoop, she broke the sound barrier, and giving it a rainbow explosion. She accelerated past that one remaining bully, and she flew all over flight camp. The memory made Raymond's head ache in pain. "Gah! My head!" Raymond said. "Whoa, are you okay, darling?" Rarity asked. Raymond then looked at Sunset angrily and asked, "What did you put in my head?!" "What do you mean?" asked Sunset. "I saw a memory that wasn't my own!" said Raymond. "I saw her..." Raymond motioned her head towards Fluttershy. "...and two other young ponies. I saw some race through the sky... through young eyes. And there was also a rainbow explosion." "Flight camp!" said Fluttershy. "The Sonic Rainboom!" said Applejack. "What are you talking about?!" Raymond asked. "You don't think that Rainbow Dash's memories are coming into this Raymond's mind, do you?" Rarity asked, looking at Sunset. "That's only a possibility," said Sunset. "I'm not sure how that's possible." Then the basement door opened. Twilight Sparkle came back with two more alicorns. Alicorns that are really tall. The blue alicorn then walked towards Raymond and asked, "Are you sure I got the wrong one? I'm pretty sure I got her exact blood type in the same reality she was sent to." "I'm not Rainbow Dash!" Raymond shouted. "Send me back this instant! I wanna go back to my home! My reality! To my pregnant girlfriend!" "I am sorry about that," said Princess Luna. "But you did not belong there. I tracked your blood to that reality, and brought you back to your family." "My family?!" Raymond asked, angrily. "I'm the son of Xavier and Ashley Dallas. I spent 18 years in North Carolina! I have a girlfriend name Alice! She's with child!" "Sadly, a life that can never be," said Princess Celestia. "Twilight. Do you still remember that memory spell? From the first time you faced Discord." "What?!" Raymond asked. "No! Stay away from me!" She then tried getting out, but then the shackles tightened again. "OW!!" "Rainbow! Stop!" Twilight shouted. "You'll get your wrists cut off!" "Then you shouldn't have put me in here!" Raymond said. "I demand you to send me back to my reality and my body this instant!" "I'm sorry, Rainbow Dash," said Princess Celestia. "But there is no way to bring you back to the world you don't belong in." "Especially to the world of your adopted parents," said Princess Luna. "Adopted?" Raymond asked. "What are you talking about?! I wasn't adopted there!" "Ever since you came back to our reality, I've looked into your memories," said Princess Luna. "The parents that you have been raised by. They found you on their doorstep. They took you in. They had no idea where you came from. We were lucky to remove the transformation magic that the changeling queen put on you." "Changeling queen?!" asked Raymond. "What the heck's a changeling?!" "According to the Greek Mythology of the world you came from, that they are creatures that can take place of some loved ones," said Princess Luna. "Although, the Greek got it all wrong. Changelings can shape shift into your loved ones and steal all of the power and love from the one who loves the one they're pretending to be. Queen Chrysalis sent you to that world, transformed you into a human baby of the opposite gender, and did everything she could to keep the Elements of Harmony from working without you." "Stop it! Stop it!" Raymond said. "I don't believe you! You're ruining my life! I'm not gonna let you ruin it any more!" She was struggling to get out of the device, but then she felt her limbs being hold perfectly still in dark blue magic. "I am sorry," said Princess Luna. "But we must get your memories back if all of you are going to keep our world safe." "By the logic of those changelings, how do I know you guys aren't changelings?!" Raymond asked. "None o' us are changelings, Rainbow Dash!" Applejack said. "Ya gotta believe that we're yer friends." "Friends don't transform and take friends away from their homes!" Raymond shouted. "I want my life back!" "What do you think we're doing?" asked Princess Celestia. "We want what's best for everypony's protection." She then looked at Twilight and said, "Twilight. Do it." Twilight nodded, lit up her horn, and walked towards Raymond. Raymond attempted to get out again and move out of the way, but with Princess Luna preventing her from moving, she was helpless. Just then, Twilight's horn made contact with Raymond's forehead. Memories were starting to pool into her head, but he was trying to push them all out. "Stop! Stop it!" Raymond said. "Those... aren't... my... memories! Gaaaaah!" She then went unconscious. That made Twilight stop. "Sorry, Rainbow," said Twilight. "But when you wake up, you'll feel like yourself in no time." "I suggest that the six of you keep a close eye on Rainbow Dash," said Princess Celestia. "Just in case her memories of that other creature she used to be before we brought her back return and block out her original memories." The six young mares nodded. Twilight then released the shackles off of Rainbow, and then Applejack and Sunset took her and wrapped Rainbow's arms around their shoulders and headed out of there. Raymond was waking up and he saw a memory. It was a memory of Rainbow Dash learning to fly with her parents. Raymond then saw all of the memories of Rainbow Dash learning to fly. It felt like Raymond was in control of the wings to her. Just as the memory ended, Raymond woke up from the dream and saw that she was back in the house that Rainbow was living in. She was in Rainbow Dash's room. On the floor, she saw the six girls all around her bed, all asleep. "Great. Just great," Raymond thought. "These girls just won't leave me alone, will they? I need to get out of this place, back to my reality, and get my real memories back." She quietly got out of the covers and tried to get out of bed. Her left foot got caught on the blanket, and she was about to fall out of bed and land on the pink pony. But strangely, no impact. Raymond then looked on her back and saw the blue wings flapping. Wait! I... I can control my wings?! What did they do to me?!" She then hovered over the sleeping girls, and she landed in front of the bathroom door, opened it, and closed the door behind her. Raymond then walked over to the toilet, pulled down the pajama bottoms and panties, and sat on the toilet seat. "Guess these girls changed me into this before they went to sleep," Raymond thought. "This isn't fair. I shouldn't belong here! I have my own family back home! I have a pregnant girlfriend! She's carrying my baby in her stomach! Or at least she was until reality changed around me!" Just as she finished, she heard some evil laughter. She looked around trying to find the source of the laughter, but there was no one there. She then asked out loud, "Where are you?! Show yourself!" "Look in the mirror, fool," a weird, womanly voice said. Raymond looked in the mirror, not only seeing herself, but bug-like pony behind her. "What the--?!" Raymond asked. She then was about to punch the creature, saying, "Get away from...!" When she looked behind her, there was no one there. "...me? Wha... but... how...?" "You still don't get it, do you, Rainbow Dash?" asked that bug creature from the mirror. Raymond looked back at the mirror and got angry. "You really are clueless. Especially when you thought you could take me on when I foalnapped your sister and her friends that day a month ago. Your friends thought that a near perfect clone of yourself, and some memory alteration to your loved ones would fix all of that, would they?" "Who are you?" Raymond asked. "Why are you here?" "Technically, I'm not here. I'm... in your head at the moment," said the bug pony creature. "As for who I am, I am Queen Chrysalis! I am the queen of the changelings, and the future ruler of Equestria! You and your friends stopped me before! So, I had a plan to get back at all of you! By taking away one of their closest friends, transforming that friend, erasing her memories, and eventually, making their friendship crumble before their eyes. I've already got one down. Too bad you don't remember it." "So... so everything they said... it's all true?!" Raymond asked. "My whole life... my friends... my family... my relationship...? Was it all... just a lie?" "You don't have to talk out loud," said Queen Chrysalis. "I can hear your thoughts. You can just talk to me just by thinking them." "You're going to pay for that!" Raymond thought, communicating with Chrysalis. "I can't believe what you did to me. The life I knew was a total lie!" "You'll never get your memories back," said Queen Chrysalis. "Not as long as I have... this." She held out a cyan blue orb with Rainbow Dash's Cutie Mark. Raymond was about to punch the mirror, but her punching arm was grabbed by a light orange hand. Raymond turned around and saw that it was... "Sunset Shimmer?" Sunset's eyes were glowing. She finished looking into Raymond's mind, then got angry and said, "Chrysalis." Raymond look back at the mirror and saw that she was gone. "It's over, Rainbow. Er... Raymond. Great. I can't decide what to call you." "Call me whatever you want," Raymond said. "Besides... My memories can't come back by a spell. Chrysalis has them. I can't believe it. Everything I knew... it was all a lie." Raymond sighed. "But it seemed so real." "I'm sorry, Rainbow," Sunset said, pulling her in for a hug. "Looking into your memories, you seemed to be prepared to be a father. We should've done that sooner. If we knew where and when you were in time, we would've brought you back before you met that girl. What was her name again?" "Alice," said Raymond, now accepting to go by Rainbow. "Listen, Rainbow," said Sunset. "I'm sorry. But, I'm afraid that you won't be able to be the father of that baby your girlfriend has anymore." Rainbow looked towards the window and stared up at the moon. Thinking about Alice. She then said, "Sunset. My memories... they're..." "I know," said Sunset. "Listen. We'll do whatever it takes to get your memories back. Guess the memory spell didn't have any effect on you." "No, no effect," said Rainbow. "But I did somehow learn how to use these." She then extended her wings. "Well, that's good," said Sunset. "We better inform Princess Celestia about this." "So, how did you, me and the rest of our friends meet?" Rainbow asked. "Well, I'll start with me and Twilight," said Sunset. "I've knew her my whole life." She then reached out her arm. "Grab my arm. I have something to show you." Rainbow was hesitant, but she stepped towards Sunset, and put her right hand on Sunset's wrist. Just then, both of their eyes started glowing white. Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer found both of them in the city of Canterlot. They saw a strip of houses. Rainbow looked around but then her shoulder was tapped. She looked at Sunset and Sunset then pointed towards a woman in a cloak. "Who is that?" Rainbow asked. "I don't know," said Sunset. "I don't remember her face. All I know is that she... Well, see for yourself." The woman in the cloak had a basket in her arms. She was looking through the windows, trying to find something. She then saw something, went up to the door, left a letter on the basket, then rang the doorbell. The woman in the cloak then ran away. As soon as the door opened, there was an almost white unicorn mare with a purple and white striped mane standing there. She saw the basket, read the note, and then saw the baby. She gasped and then pulled the basket in. "That woman who took me in was Twilight's mother," Sunset said. "It turns out that woman who dropped me off was a friend of my birth mother. My birth mother died. My birth father blamed me for her death. So he attempted to kill me. But that woman wanted me to be happy. My birth father made a horrible mistake in his life, and eventually killed himself." "Wow," said Rainbow. "So... you... and Twilight are..." "Sisters?" Sunset asked. "Legally, yes. I'm happy that my sister became a princess. But, I was a little upset that I didn't become one with her." "Not everyone can get what they want," Rainbow said. "But, you can keep trying. As long as your not blinded by anger or greed." "Wow," said Sunset. "That's some mature talking. I guess Chrysalis did you a favor by sending you there. You've become a lot more mature." "Meh," Rainbow said. "Alright," said Sunset. "Tomorrow, we'll send a letter to the princess about your memories. Let's get out of here and get back to sleep." Rainbow nodded. Then they started fading back to the real world. > Chapter 5: The Changeling Hunt > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 5: The Changeling Hunt The seven girls and Spike were preparing to go on their adventure to find the changelings. Rainbow Dash was getting concerned about things. "How long is this gonna take?" Rainbow asked. "Don't worry, Rainbow," Twilight said. "I'm sure we'll get back in time before school starts in two weeks." "Wait what?" Rainbow asked. "I thought..." "Reality shift," said Sunset. "You were thinking that school starts this Wednesday, but it actually starts two weeks from Wednesday." "Ah guess that it's hard fer her to accept the shifts, huh?" Applejack asked. "How do we find the changeling lair?" Rarity asked. "That is a good question," Spike said. Just then he held his stomach. Then he belched and the emerald flames turned into a scroll, a folded up piece of paper, and eight amulets for them to wear. Spike picked up the scroll and started reading, "Dear Princess Twilight and friends, I've read about the predicament about Rainbow's memories. If you want to get to the changelings, you're going to have to have a map. I've sent you a map to where the Changeling Hive is located in the Badlands. You are also going to need these amulets. Queen Chrysalis's throne is made out of a rare element that can cancel out any magic, except for Changeling Magic. These amulets will keep your magic active as long as you wear them, and keep them hidden. They will also allow you to make sure if your friends are a changeling. Concentrate, and you will see through their disguises. Good luck, all of you. Signed, Princess Celestia." "That's good," said Twilight. "Everypony, grab an amulet, and let's head out to the Changeling Hive." The eight of them then grabbed one amulet each, and headed on out. They eventually got on a train, heading off somewhere. Rainbow was looking out the window. She was thinking of her old life as Raymond Dallas. Just then, Fluttershy walked up to her and sat down next to her. "Your thinking about that girl, aren't you?" Fluttershy asked. "Well, yeah," said Rainbow. "I can't imagine what she's going through that I'm no longer there to help her. Could you imagine a single mother raising a baby without someone there to help and work double time?" "Oh, I know the feeling," said Fluttershy. "Mr. and Mrs. Cake had twins, and Mr. Cake and Pinkie had to work twice as hard to get things in order." Then Pinkie Pie came up to them. "Yeah. I had to work double time after school. Mrs. Cake texted me to bring her a huge jar of pickles for her to munch on? And I mean really big. You saw how big it was when I was getting it." "C'mon," Rainbow said. "How big could a jar of pickles be?" "Bigger than your shower," said Pinkie Pie. That made Rainbow's jaw drop. Then Rainbow shook her head. "You've gotta be kidding me," said Rainbow. "There's no way there's a jar of pickles that big." "You'd be surprised where I got them," Pinkie said. Rainbow was about to ask how that was possible, but then Applejack came up and said, "Ah wouldn't. With yer mind like that, ya should know that Pinkie Pie is very... random. She does very impossible things." "Yeah, right," said Rainbow. "Like a pony like her will be able to do something like that." Just then, Pinkie Pie came out of Rainbow's shirt with a cupcake and said, "Oh, don't be like that, Dashie. You and I both know I can do the impossible. Cupcake?" Pinkie then put the cupcake into Rainbow's hand, then disappeared back into Rainbow's shirt. Rainbow's face was blushing red, and looked back down her shirt. "Told ya," Applejack said, wrapping her right arm around Rainbow's shoulders. "Pinkie Pie can do the impossible." Rainbow was still blushing about what was happening. She then looked out the window, hoping for the embarrassment will be over with. At the Changeling Hive, Queen Chrysalis was sitting in her throne with the small orb holding Rainbow Dash's memories. She was smiling evilly at it. She was then interrupted by one of her subjects. "My queen!" the changeling said. "One of out troops reported that Twilight Sparkle and her friends are coming towards our hive!" "Interesting," said Queen Chrysalis. "Those pathetic ponies are coming to get the memories of their rainbow maned friend, are they? Well, then, I have something... interesting for the rainbow maned one." She then levitated a black band with green gems on it. One gem was bigger than the others. "Go to the reality where I sent Rainbow Dash. I want you to... pick up something... special." "What do you mean, my queen?" asked the changeling drone. Queen Chrysalis moved in and whispered into the drone's ear. The drone then said, "Are you sure?" "What would be a more nastier thing for Rainbow Dash?" Queen Chrysalis smirked. Then the drone gave off an evil, toothy smile. After getting off at Dodge City, the seven young mares headed south towards the Badlands. Rainbow Dash was walking along side Fluttershy. Fluttershy looked over at Rainbow Dash with a worried look on her face. "Rainbow? Is something wrong?" Fluttershy asked. "For 22 years, I've been living a lie," said Rainbow. "Why did I have to do something stupid and it cost me my memories?" "Oh, don't worry, Rainbow Dash," Fluttershy said. "The only thing we regret was taking away your chance of being a father. By the way you were wanting to be there for Alice, you would've made a great father. Too bad that we ruined it for you." Rainbow sighed and said, "Yeah. I feel bad for Alice. I can't believe that I wasn't supposed to be there. Leaving her all by herself. No boyfriend to help her." Twilight then walked towards them and said, "If only we got to you sooner. We're sorry for that." "If these memories I have are just fake, what would happen if I get back my real memories?" Rainbow asked. "I don't really know," said Twilight. "There might be a 55% chance that your original memories will overwrite your memories as they return to your mind. But there is also a 45% chance that you'll remember the memories of both your lives." "I guess that makes sense," Rainbow said. Then they all stopped. They came across a swampy area. "This is the swamp we have to pass through to get to the Changeling hive," said Twilight. "Everypony, be alert. We don't know if there are any changelings hiding somewhere around here. Everypony, stay close!" Then all seven of the young mares and the young drake came closer together. Rainbow Dash looked around, looking around for any danger. Applejack then leaned in towards Rainbow. "What's the matter, sugarcube?" Applejack asked, smirking. "Ya scared?" "There's nothing wrong with being afraid," said Rainbow Dash. "Wow," said Applejack. "Hope that stays in. Because the Rainbow Dash we all know never confesses on being scared." "Hopefully I'll remember that part of the memories I have now," said Rainbow. "Whoa!" said Spike. They all looked over towards Spike and his foot was stuck. "My foot is stuck!" He then started pulling on his leg, and his foot snapped out of the sticky bog, and started rolling away from the group. "SPIKE!" said the other girls, except Rainbow. Then the seven of them started running towards them. Spike was rolling but stopped when he hit something. Spike turned around and saw something what he hit. He then screamed at what he saw. But then he saw his reflection and said, "Oh. It's just a mirror." He and his reflection waved. Then he turned around, facing towards where his friends were, but his reflection didn't. That got Spike's attention, but the reflection copied Spike's every move. He jumped and waved his arms around, spun around, and then did a striker pose. He then said, "Huh. I guess it's just my imagination." Spike was then walking away, but his reflection didn't. The reflection's foot got stuck. Spike noticed and turned around, seeing his reflection trying to get his foot out of something sticky. When it did, it noticed Spike was looking at him in shock. The reflection then changed into a... "Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-CHANGELING!!" "No! Wait! Not that way!" the changeling shouted. The seven young mares saw Spike running towards them, but then he sunk halfway in something. Spike looked down and saw he was in quicksand. "Gah! Help!" shouted Spike. "Spike!" Twilight shouted. She then looked towards the changeling and got scared. "Spike! I'm coming!" Twilight was about to fly towards Spike, but the changeling got to Spike first. He then started pulling Spike out of the quicksand, and then he flew him towards the group. Spike was confused about this. "I tried warning you," said the changeling. "I didn't want any of you to get hurt." He then started walking away. The seven girls and young dragon were confused. Rainbow then asked, "I thought you said that all changelings were evil. What's up with this guy?" "I don't know," said Twilight. "This one's different." The changeling stopped, turned around and said, "I admit it. I am different then all of the other changelings. I was there when the changelings invaded Canterlot during the wedding. I was the only one there who didn't attack anyone. After seeing the seven of you fight all of those other changelings, I was astonished. The power of your friendship was so strong, I didn't want to take it. I wanted to share it." "So, you are really different then all of the other changelings," said Twilight. "I'm guessing Chrysalis didn't want any of that talk in her hive and kicked you out?" "Yes," said the changeling. "I'm Thorax by the way. And I know who all of you are. Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Sunset Shimmer, Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and the little dragon is known as Spike." "So, you're just a changeling that wants to have friends?" Twilight asked. "But changelings are supposed to steal love from other ponies so they are able to live," said Sunset Shimmer. "Huh," Rainbow said. "If they make their own friendship to keep themselves alive, then they wouldn't have to steal it from anyone else, and maybe there would be peace between the ponies and the changelings." The other girls thought about it and then Twilight said, "Actually, that might not be a bad idea. But I doubt that Chrysalis is wanting to accept this." "Well, we'll have to come up with a way for the ponies and the changelings to live in peace," said Sunset. "If we are able to do that." "And of course, get Rainbow's memories back," said Twilight. "Oh, boy," said Thorax. "I heard that when the queen steals a pony's memories, she keeps it with her at all times. No pony has succeeded on getting their memories back." "Do you know of a way to get Rainbow's memories back?" Twilight asked. "It won't be easy," said Thorax. "But usually, Chrysalis is vulnerable when she's asleep. So, we're going to have to go in when she's asleep." "So, what are we going to do?" Applejack asked. Then the group huddled together, coming up with a way to get Rainbow's memories back. Meanwhile, in the reality of Raymond Dallas, Alice was sitting all alone in the dorm she still shared with her roommate, worried about what happened to Raymond. It was at least six months since Raymond disappeared from her life, and she was now 8 months pregnant. School was goin okay for her, even though she can't do anything too physical. She pulled out the photo of her and Raymond, and she was thinking to herself if she could ever see Raymond again. Just then, there was a knocking on her door. She then called out, "Who is it?" "Don't fret, Alice! It's me!" came a voice that Alice knew all too well. "Raymond?!" Alice asked. She waddled towards the door, and opened it. On the other side of the door, there was Raymond. She hugged him and asked, "Where have you been?" She then got angry and said, "How could you just abandon me like that?" "Oh, I'm so sorry, Alice," he said. He then pulled in Alice's head to look into his eyes as he said. "From here on out..." Raymond's eyes then started glowing green. "...everything will be all right." Alice was then put into a trance when her pupils and irises got smaller and turned green. She then mumbled, "Everything... will be.... all right..." She then went unconscious. Raymond then transformed into a changeling drone, the same drone that Chrysalis was talking to earlier. He then walked over to a bedside table, and grabbed an envelope that was marked "Baby's First Picture." He then opened it and saw the ultrasound picture. He smiled and said, "Wow. You two have been busy, eh? Hopefully that we can get into Rainbow Dash's head, and you and your two babies are going be the perfect thing." He then tapped on an enchanted bracelet and said, "This is Pharynx calling Queen Chrysalis. I got her." Then the two of them disappeared in a flash of green light. > Chapter 6: Infiltrating the Changeling Hive > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 6: Infiltrating the Changeling Hive The seven girls, the young dragon and the rogue changeling arrived near the hive, right outside a barrier that cancels out all magic except for changeling magic. Twilight then turned around and faced the others, saying, "Alright, everypony. And dragon and... changeling. We need to find a way to get into the hive without being spotted by Chrysalis's drones." "And you need me to help you guide through the place," said Thorax. "Just be careful, and follow me. We don't want any other changelings to know that we're here." "Good thinking," said Sunset. "If we're spotted, the other changelings will go alert the queen." "How are we going to get to where Chrysalis is?" Spike asked. "I'll lead the way," said Thorax. "Just don't make any loud noises to arrouse suspicion." "Do all of the changelings know about you..." Rarity asked. "Probably," said Thorax. "Including my brother." "You have a brother?" Twilight asked. "Changelings can make their own hatchlings," said Thorax. "But Queen Chrysalis doesn't want the parents that laid their larva to raise them. She wants them to be trained immediately to take all of the love from the ponies of Equestria." "Sounds like she doesn't care about what her subjects think," said Rainbow. "She's not a queen. She's a tyrant." "You're right," said Twilight. "She cares for nopony but herself. We have to find a way to stop Chrysalis." "Well, we better get going," said Thorax. "But stay quiet." The seven girls and one young drake nodded, and headed towards the Changeling Hive. Inside the changeling hive, Alice was coming to. She felt her wrists and ankles were tied together by something. She opened her eyes, looked down, and saw that her wrists and ankles were stuck together by some green slime. "What's going on?" Alice asked. "Where am I?" She then felt her babies kicking. "Oh. Please, babies. Calm down." She tried rubbing her belly to calm the babies, but the gunk on her wrists had her hands facing palm to palm. Just then, she heard something walking towards where she was. She tried getting up, but her legs were tied together as well. When she saw what was walking towards her, she was surprised to see who it was. "You're... you're..." "Hello, Alice." That voice belonged to Queen Chrysalis. "How?! You're nothing but a work of fiction!" said Alice. "Also, you're supposed to be a quadruped." "Not everything in that show you watch is accurate," said Queen Chrysalis. "Where am I?!" Alice shouted. "You're in my hive," said Queen Chrysalis. "And now that you're here, I'm gonna make sure that those pathetic ponies don't get what they're after." "Ponies?" Alice asked. "Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash," said Queen Chrysalis. She then pulled out the cyan blue sphere. Alice was confused when she saw the orb and asked, "What is that?" "This little orb you see here obtains the memories of one pathetic young mare," said Queen Chrysalis. "Rainbow Dash. When I extracted her memories, I also sent her to your reality as a completely different creature. A creature like you are... but in the opposite gender." "You turned Rainbow Dash... into a human male?" Alice asked. "Indeed," said Queen Chrysalis. "He spent 22 years as a short pathetic human. He was about to start off senior year at the University of Washington in Seattle." "What?" Alice asked. "You don't mean..." "That's right," said Queen Chrysalis. "The man you fell in love with and got you pregnant is actually one of this worlds... bleh... heroes. Her friends might have got her body back, but her memories are mine." Alice then thought about all the times she had with Raymond. She then said, "So all the things Raymond and I did? They weren't supposed to happen?" "It's her choice now," said Queen Chrysalis. "Either get back her memories as Rainbow Dash. Or get back her love as Raymond Dallas." She then covered the cave with mucus, making a cage. Chrysalis then left laughing an evil cackle. "I was... in a relationship... with Rainbow Dash...?" Alice asked herself. The group of nine snuck into the changeling hive, trying to search for the throne room of Chrysalis. They had to sneak past a lot of changelings to get through. "This place is more creepier than the last time we came here," Rarity whispered. "I-I-It really is..." Fluttershy whispered, nervously. "Shh," Twilight shushed them at a whispering level. "Everypony, keep quiet. We don't want them to..." Twilight was cut off when a bunch of changelings hissed towards them. They then fired green mucus at them, trapping them together. "Oh, great." Twilight said frustrated. The Mane 7, Spike and Thorax were taken to the throne room of Queen Chrysalis. Queen Chrysalis smiled as they were pushed into the center of the throne room. "Well, well, well," said Chrysalis. "If if isn't Equestria's greatest fools. You think you can stop me now?" She then noticed Thorax. "Ah. I see you brought in our traitor." "You kicked me out!" said Thorax. "I suggested we try another way of gaining love by being friends with other creatures instead of taking it from them by force." "You know that Changelings are supposed to take magic and love from other creatures!" said Queen Chrysalis. "They deserve to be drained for what they did to us!" "What did the ponies ever do to you?!" Rainbow shouted. "It was ponies like you who neglected my ancestors for not letting us take their love," said Chrysalis. "That just proves that you've been taking their love without their concern!" said Rainbow. "And you refuse to compromise with other creatures?!" "Changelings don't compromise!" said Queen Chrysalis. "We take what we need!" She then smirked. "Of course, you found that the hard way when you tried taking me on all by yourself. And it cost you your body and your memories. And sent you to a different reality. You are such an insignificant little foal." "After what you did, I'm gonna..." Rainbow said until she was interrupted by a voice she recognized. "Help! Help me!" Rainbow looked towards the voice and saw a cage of mucus, with a human girl behind the bars. It wasn't the part that a girl that got Rainbow's attention, but who that girl was. "N-No... It... It can't be..." Rainbow said. "Rainbow! No!" Twilight said, pulling her back. "Don't be fooled! It can't be that girl!" Rainbow looked at the girl. She then closed her eyes and thought to herself, "Twilight's right. Like what they said, Changelings can transform into anything they can and steal power and love. I'm not gonna fall for it." Sunset looked over at the girl and looked into the memories of the girl. She then gasped and said, "That girl... She's legit. That really is Alice James." "What?" Rainbow asked. "You mean...?" Rainbow looked over at Alice. But then she was lifted up into the air. The mucus that had her incapable of moving her arms and legs dissolved. "You are such a fool," said Queen Chrysalis. "You were so ignorant. But I will give you a choice. Option 1: I transform you back into Raymond Dallas, and send you back to the reality you were at and you be at the place where you were, like you never left. Or option 2: You stay here and be Rainbow Dash, get your memories back, and never see your precious Alice ever again." "No!" Alice shouted. Chrysalis smirked and said, "Tell you what... I'll give you time to think. Drones, take these 10 to the same dungeon cell." Later, the Mane 7, Spike, Thorax and Alice were all stuck in a huge dungeon. Applejack was trying to bust her way out of the cell, but it was no good. "Dang it!" Applejack shouted. "This stuff is stronger than last time." Rainbow Dash was sitting in the center of the cell, feeling sorry for herself. Then Twilight and Alice walked towards her. Twilight then said, "Rainbow? Are you okay?" "I don't know, Twilight," Rainbow said. "Everything I went through... what was it really worth?" "Rainbow Dash," said Twilight. "You've always stood by the side of those you cared for. No matter if you were a pony..." "Or a human," said Alice. Rainbow looked at Alice. She then looked at Alice's stomach, and saw it was bigger then the last time she was Raymond Dallas. "How long was I gone from that reality?" asked Rainbow. "Six months," said Alice. "But, there's one more thing I have to tell you." She then pulled out an envelope that was stashed into her pocket by a changeling. She gave it to Rainbow, who took it and looked inside. There was a picture of an ultrasound. The picture had two babies in it. "What?" Rainbow asked. "I'm having twins," said Alice. "Tw-twins?" Rainbow asked. "That's right," said Alice. "That's super duper amazing!" Pinkie said. "Not just one baby, but two! It'll be just as amazing as watching Pound and Pumpkin!" "That is if Alice stays here, which she might not," said Twilight. She then looked towards Rainbow Dash and said, "Rainbow, you don't know what will happen if you go back there. We can't use the Elements of Harmony without you." "But what about Alice?" Rainbow asked. "I was the one who got her pregnant. I helped made those babies." Alice then pulled Rainbow in for a hug and said, "You were always willing to give up something to help your friends. You always pulled through any tough situations, whether you were Rainbow Dash, or Raymond Dallas." "Alice..." Rainbow said. "If I stay... I don't get to see you again. But if I go... this world will be doomed. I don't know what to do." "That is a tough decision," said Twilight. "But I understand whether you want to do something you love, but there are some things that you can't have." Rainbow looked over at Alice, got sad and said, "I'm... I'm sorry, Alice. But..." Alice put her hand over Rainbow's mouth and said, "It's okay. I just wish it could've work out." "Me, too," said Rainbow Dash. The other girls and Spike were starting to get teary eyed. Thorax then said, "That... was the most heartbreaking scene I have ever seen. I felt a lot of love coming from the two of you." The Mane 7, Spike, Alice and Thorax were taken back to the throne room. Chrysalis was smirking towards Rainbow Dash. Rainbow looked down in shame. She looked over at her friends. "Alright there," said Chrysalis. "Have you come to a decision?" Rainbow just stood still and said, "I have." "So, what's your decision?" Chrysalis asked. Rainbow then took a deep breath, then said, "Give me back my memories." "Huh," said Chrysalis. "Alright." She then tossed the orb towards Rainbow Dash, and she caught it. Rainbow Dash got confused. "Wait? That's it?" Rainbow asked. "That's it," said Chrysalis. "Drones... kill the human." "WHAT?!" shouted the Mane 7, Spike, Alice and Thorax. Then the changelings started flying towards Alice with fangs bare. Alice got scared, but Rainbow pushed her out of the way. "What is wrong with you?!" Thorax shouted. "You said that you would send her back to her reality if Rainbow chose her memories!" "I said that Rainbow would never see Alice again," said Chrysalis. "I said nothing about her going home." She then looked at Alice, smirked and then fired her magic at Alice. "GAAAAAH!!" Alice shouted. "ALICE!!" Rainbow shouted. Rainbow growled and shouted, "What are you doing?!" "I'll make sure she'll never recover again!" said Chrysalis. "That will break your spirit, and you'll not be able to use the Elements of Harmony ever again!" Twilight then used her magic, and pushed back Chrysalis's magic. Twilight was struggling with her magic. "You are a fool for challenging me, Twilight Sparkle," said Chrysalis. "You're weak!" Twilight groaned, trying to push back Chrysalis's magic. Then Thorax stepped forward and said, "She's not the weak one! You're the one who's weak, Chrysalis!" "What did you say?!" Chrysalis shouted, stopping her magic. "You always take the power and love of other ponies," said Thorax. "You always just want to take things because you're too scared to be friendly to them. So you decided to change into a loved one of different ponies so you can steal their power. You're a coward." Thorax's speech moved a lot of changelings. Including Pharynx. Chrysalis growled at him and shouted, "You worthless little drone! I'm not going to let a stupid little changeling poison the minds of my army! They aren't supposed to learn freely! It's time for you to be destroyed!" Chrysalis then fired a beam at Thorax. Thorax was too scared to move. But then something happened. "Not today!" Pharynx stood in front of Thorax, using his own magic to block the attack. And it was working. "Ph-Pharynx?" Thorax asked. "No one messes with you except for me, little brother," said Pharynx. "Brother?!" asked the Mane 7 and Spike. "You traitor!" said Chrysalis. "You dare to listen to that worthless changeling?! He doesn't know what's good for the changelings!" "Actually..." said Pharynx. "After what you called us... it's you who doesn't know what's good for the changelings. You called us mindless drones. You don't know anything about us. I think it's you who's the mindless one." "How dare you!" said Chrysalis. She then fired another blast, and this time, she was draining the magic from both of them. Both Thorax and Pharynx were being drained. "This is what happens to those who don't follow my orders!" Thorax and Pharynx got onto their knees. Thorax then looked over at the Mane 7 and Spike. Spike felt bad for Thorax and shouted, "C'mon, Thorax! You're stronger than that! You fight for what you believe in!" "Spike's right!" said Twilight. "You wanna spread love instead of take it! Why don't you give it all to her!" Thorax widened his eyes, smirked, and then a huge burst of energy came from him, pushing back Chrysalis and breaking through the back of her throne. All of the ponies, dragons and changelings looked at Thorax, and saw that he looked different. (I'm having trouble finding a photo of an anthro Thorax. How about a little help on this) "What... just... happened?!" Rarity asked. "Thorax just evolved!" said Twilight. "That... is super duper amazing!" Pinkie Pie shouted. Sunset smirked and announced to the changelings, "This is what happens if you give love instead of taking it! You don't have to do what Chrysalis tells you! Make your own path, and we can all live in peace!" The changelings looked at each other, and then they started giving love. Although, it was too much for Chrysalis to take it in. Then the entire hive blew up. After that, all of the changelings evolved, and the hive has a "hole" new open floor plan. Rainbow Dash looked over and saw Alice. She shouted, "Alice!" Then she ran over towards her. Rainbow looked her over and checked her pulse. "Her vitals are weak. We have to get her to a hospital." "You're right," said Twilight. "You're the fastest flyer of all of Equestria, Rainbow Dash." "But I don't remember that!" said Rainbow Dash. Then she remembered something. She pulled out the orb that had her memories and asked, "How do I get my memories back from this?" Pharynx, now evolved, walked over to her and said, "It's actually not that hard. It's like cracking an egg. Crack it, then separate it in front of your face, and then all of your memories will return to you just like that." Pharynx snapped his fingers when he said 'that'. Rainbow looked over at a sharp rock, nodded and walked over to it. She then cracked the orb, put the orb in front of her face, and separated it. Then her memories came flooding in through her eyes. Then she got blasted back, and laid near Alice. "Rainbow Dash!" said the rest of the Mane 7 and Spike as they were running over to her. Rainbow Dash then sat up, put a hand to her head and said, "Man. I have a splitting headache." She then looked over at her friends, smiled and said, "Hey, girls. Miss me?" "That's the Rainbow Dash we all know and love!" said Applejack. "R-Rainbow?" Fluttershy said. She then pointed at Alice. Rainbow looked at Alice, then got worried. "Oh, my gosh! Alice!" "Wait, you still remember her?" asked Twilight. "Yeah," said Rainbow. "I remember both memories as Raymond Dallas and myself. And boy, I cannot believe I was a nerd on the other side! My awesome athlete history is ruined!" "Rainbow, a college student is not a nerd," Twilight said. "Raymond Dallas was picked on a lot, 2nd through 5th grade," said Rainbow. "As Raymond, I joined the wrestling team. Sure, the other guys laughed at me, but I proved them all wrong." Then she remembered and looked back at Alice. "Oh, right. Alice. I gotta get her to the hospital!" "RAAAAARRRRGH!!" Chrysalis roared, uncovering herself from the rubble she was under. She looked over at all of the changelings. "No! NO!! What have you all done?!" "They're making their own choices!" said Twilight. "You don't have to take love from other creatures. You can be our friend. All you have to do is accept our friendship." Chrysalis thought about it. She was concerned. But then she got angry and shouted, "NEVER!!" She then flew away, abandoning her changelings. Rainbow Dash then picked up Alice, trying to get a good grip on her and said, "Wow. She's a lot more heavier than I was expecting. I don't know if it's the fact that it was when I was a man, or if that she's pregnant, but I can't let her go like this." "Go on to Canterlot, Rainbow," said Twilight. "We'll tell the princess about this. She'll prepare the hospital for Alice immediately." Rainbow nodded, then she started flying away, taking Alice with her. As she was flying, she was thinking, "Don't worry, Alice. Everything's going to be all right." > Chapter 7: The Most Troubling Decision Ever Made > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 7: The Most Troubling Decision Ever Made Rainbow Dash flew all the way to Canterlot, carrying Alice in her arms. She went into the castle, and into the infirmary. She saw Princess Celestia and some doctors with a gurney ready for Alice to be taken. "Whoa!" said one of the doctors. "What do we have here?" "Remember what I said about the human race?" asked Princess Celestia. "Well, that is what a pregnant human female looks like." Rainbow Dash then set Alice onto the gurney, and walked back towards Princess Celestia. The Princess then leaned in asked, "Do you have all of your memories back? I want you to say something that..." "I almost forgot my cue during the wedding of Princess Cadance and Shining Armor," said Rainbow Dash. "Thanks for reminding me of that." Celestia giggled and said, "Oh, I'm glad that you are back." She then saw that Alice was being taken away into a medical room. Celestia then said, "Don't worry, Rainbow Dash. Alice is in good hands." "I hope so," said Rainbow. An hour passed. Rainbow was waiting anxiously, pacing from left to right, hoping that Alice would be alright. Just then, her friends and family walked into the room where she was. "Rainbow Dash!" Twilight said, running up to her. "Are you going to be okay? Chrysalis got Alice really bad, didn't she?" "She did," Rainbow said. "But I don't know what to do if I lose her." "So, everything that we were told about you being gone for a long time was true?!" Scootaloo asked. "Yeah," said Rainbow Dash. "Sorry, squirt. I wasn't myself when I fully got here." She then took a knew, put a hand on Scootaloo's left shoulder and said, "But I appreciate what you did for me with Zephyr Breeze. Sure, he means well, but he doesn't know when to take a hint." "Of course, Rainbow Dash," said Scootaloo. She then jumped into Rainbow's arms and said, "Isn't that was sisters are supposed to do? Look out for each other?" "You betcha, squirt," said Rainbow. Just then, a doctor came into the room and said, "Miss Dash. There is some... well... some news. Come, follow me." Then Rainbow Dash and company followed the doctor into the room where Alice is. They saw that both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were in the room as well. "Is Alice going to be okay?" Rainbow asked. "That's... not going to be easy..." said the doctor. "It seems that Chrysalis has taken too much energy out of this girl. Let's just say when she gives birth, she won't have enough energy to live on." "NO!!" Rainbow shouted. "Isn't there anything that we can do?!" "Well... there is one thing," said the doctor. "It might not work, but if we could transfer the babies from her into another mare, then she'll have just enough to live on." Rainbow thought about it. But then she heard a groan. She looked at Alice, and saw her waking up. "Rainbow..." Alice said weakly. Rainbow walked over towards Alice, and grabbed her hand. "Shh... shh... Don't talk, Alice," Rainbow shushed Alice. "It's going to be fine." "I... I heard everything..." Alice said. "If... I don't make it... please... take care of... the babies... for me..." Rainbow started thinking. She then got upset and said, "No. Because you are going to live. Even if I have to be the one to give birth to the babies." That made the others gasp. "But, Rainbow!" Applejack said. "Yer the best athlete in our school. Ya can't just..." "I don't care..." said Rainbow Dash. "I got Alice into this situation, so I should be the one who will get her out of it. Let's do this." "You do realize that transferring the babies from Alice into you will change the babies as well," said Princess Luna. "And, you'll have to have a month for them to be born." Rainbow thought about it and said, "Some things are worth the sacrifice. Let's do this." She then looked over at Alice and said, "I'm sorry, Alice. But..." "Rainbow..." said Alice. "You... don't... have to..." "I do have to do this," Rainbow said to Alice. "I'm not letting you go like this." "Rainbow," said Twilight. "Are you sure about this?" "I never been so sure about anything in my whole life," Rainbow said before looking back at Alice. "But I don't know if it'll be possible for us to be together." "No..." Alice said. "You're the best thing that's ever happened to me. I would be happy to sacrifice my own species... and possibly gender, if I want to stay with you. I love you... no matter what." Rainbow smiled at Alice's words, even shed a few tears. Then Rarity said, "I'll... I'll prepare some outfits for the two of you." 25 days later... Rainbow Dash has been home for a while. But, she has been taking classes through her computer. Sure, the princesses transferred Alice's babies into Rainbow's stomach, but it was worth it. Alice has been turned into a young pegasus stallion named Ace Winds. Luckily, for both of them, Rarity made them a whole new wardrobe until the day comes. Ace Winds has an orange coat, and a mane and tail that was a combination of red, yellow and blue. Ace wore a white shirt with a navy blue jacket, and some jeans. Along with red and black sneakers. Ace Winds was living with Rainbow and her family. Rainbow Dash was happy to be spending a lot more time with Ace. Even if it means that they had to switch rolls for mother and father for two kids. Rainbow Dash was sitting in front of her computer, watching her class. Ace Winds took a job with Bow Hothoof with the weather team. Ace Winds went back to Age 18 and will wait to marry Rainbow after she graduates. And as Rainbow was watching her class, she felt a big kick in her stomach. "Gah!" Rainbow exclaimed. "Miss Dash?" asked the teacher. "Are you alright?" "I'll... be fine..." said Rainbow Dash. She then looked down and saw that her clothes were wet. "Uh oh..." She then looked back at her computer and said, "Or maybe not. My water just broke." "Hang on, Rainbow!" came Twilight's voice through the computer. "We'll meet you at the hospital! Get somepony to take you there!" "Got it," said Rainbow before logging off. She then called out, "MOM!! IT'S HAPPENING!!" Then Windy Whistles ran in, grabbed a new set of clothes, and helped Rainbow towards the car. Rainbow was then taken to the hospital. Rainbow Dash was taken into the maternity ward. She was breathing hard and fast. Ace Winds and Rainbow's parents were there to support her as she was going through the process. "It's okay, Rainbow," said Windy Whistles. "Everything's going to be fine. Just breathe." Ace Winds stayed with her as well. It took her a while for the babies to come out. With one push, the sound of a baby crying came. "It's a filly," said one of the doctors. "Alright, nurse. Clean off the filly." "Yes, doctor," said a nurse. Rainbow then screamed in pain as the next baby was about to come out. She then breathed fast. She then shouted, "Hurry up, doc! GAAAH! It hurts so much!!" "It's alright, Miss Dash," said the doctor. "We almost got the other baby out. Just relax." "Relax?! RELAX?!" Rainbow shouted. "This hurts a lot more then the time I crashed when performing a new stunt!" "It's all going to be okay, Rainbow," said Windy Whistles, trying to calm down Rainbow. "You're a strong, independent young mare. You've got this. I believe in you." Rainbow smiled and then nodded. She then took a deep breath and then attempted to push the baby out of her. She was trying to fight the pain, but it was an even fight between the two. "Alright," said the doctor. "Here comes the next foal. Push more, Miss Dash." Rainbow was pushing as hard as she could. It took her a while, but she finally got the baby out of her. "It's a colt. Congratulations, Miss Dash. You just gave birth to two beautiful little foals." "Let me see them," said Rainbow, weakly. "Just give us a second to clean off your colt," said the doctor. After waiting a while, the nurses handed Rainbow both of her foals. The foals were both pegasi. The filly was golden yellow with a blue mane and tail with orange streaks. The colt was light blue, not as light as Rainbow's coat, but he had a rainbow colored mane, and some freckles. "They're... beautiful..." Rainbow said. "Yes... they are..." Ace Winds said. Ace then kissed Rainbow on the cheek. Two and a Half years later... Ever since then, Rainbow Dash and Ace Winds have been having a lot of time together. And today, they were officially getting married. Rainbow's parents would take care of the foals, which they named Lightning Rush and Hyper Flux, when they head off on their honeymoon. The rest of the Mane 7, Dash's parents and Scootaloo were wishing Rainbow and Ace goodbye as they were about to leave. "We're happy for you, Rainbow," Twilight said. "Yeah," said Applejack. "Never thought that ya would be a part of this." "Of course we would," said Rainbow. She then looked at her foals, and kissed their foreheads. "Goodbye, my foals. I'll be back as soon as I can." "Mommy!" said both of them. Rainbow then got teary eyed. "Alright, Rainbow," Ace said, picking Rainbow up. "It's time for us to head out." Then Ace carried Rainbow Dash out of the building and left for their honeymoon. The rest of the Mane 7, and Rainbow's family watched as they headed off somewhere. Twilight just stood there and said, "No matter what reality those two are in, they sure are the perfect couple." "Yeah," said Rarity. "Good thing that she wanted to wait until after her wedding and honeymoon before starting at the Wonderbolts Academy." Fluttershy then looked at Rainbow's foals and said, "Until then, let's keep Rainbow's foals in good hands. She really needs help." "We're going to have super duper fun!" said Pinkie. "Let's show these two foals how to have a good time!" The babies then yawned and fell asleep. Windy Whistles then said, "Well, it looks like it's time for their nap." She then looked at Pinkie and said, "Since you're all good friends of Rainbow, I hope that one of you girls will look after Lightning Rush and Hyper Flux tomorrow." "Oh, of course," said Fluttershy. "I'd be happy to help out with watching them." "Me, too!" said Pinkie, scaring Fluttershy a little. "Well, I hope you take good care of them," said Bow Hothoof. "We'll be busy tomorrow on our jobs." "You don't have to worry about that, sir," said Sunset Shimmer. "Ever since Thorax became in charge of the Changelings, we've been living in harmony with them." "Although, Chrysalis is still on the loose," said Twilight. "But we'll be ready in case she comes back for revenge." They looked to where the newly weds were, but no sign of them. Until they saw two pairs of Sonic Rainbooms in the sky. Flying through the sky, Rainbow and Ace winds were flying off towards somewhere. Then Rainbow said, "Now this was the best wedding ever."
