A Year in My Care: A My Little Dashie Sequel

        The doors to the Canterlot Castle slammed open, and Rainbow Dash flew through it and continued to the Celestia's throne.  Followed by Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Applejack and Rarity all galloping behind her.  Once they got there and bowed to the princess, Twilight began conversation with one of her partners in royalty.

        "Princess!  We all came as soon as we heard, what's the situation?!"

        "Thank you for coming, all of you."  said the Princess, seeming quite relaxed.

          Twilight was surprised by the fact that Celestia didn't want to take immediate action with whatever the problem was.

          "I gathered you all her today because I needed a portal to be tested by one of you."  exclaimed the Princess

          "Oh, oh, oh!  That sounds fun!"  Pinkie chimed in, as soon as she heard 'portal'.

          "Great, maybe this time I'll be the one going through it."  Rainbow Dash responded sarcastically, remembering the two times there has been a portal involved with anything, Twilight was the one to go.

      "Well, where exactly does this portal lead to?" asked Twilight, as curious as always.

      "Well, do you remember when you had to go through the mirror portal to retrieve your crown from Sunset Shimmer?  Well it turns out that worlds creatures were not actually humans, but just creatures that resembled humans in a big way."

      The mane six all gasped at Celestia's words.  "So does that mean you found the portal that leads to the real human world?!" Twilight asked, in shock that the friends that she made in the world thought to be inhabited by humans, weren't actually 'humans' at all.

      "Yes, indeed I have, and I need a reliable pony to test it to make sure it isn't too dangerous to travel through.  Preferably a Pegasus, since not even I know if somepony will end up two hooves above the ground, or as high as two thousand.  But sadly Twilight, you can't go through it until we find a way to allow you to go through the portal without your  link breaking.  For if you went through it, your magical connection to Equestria would be broken, and you'll never be able to use your magic ever again."

        "Don't worry Princess, I completely understand.  So who will it be, Rainbow Dash or Fluttershy?"  asked Twilight, looking over at the two.

        "D-D-Dangerous?" said Fluttershy, being as frightened as ever.

        "Don't worry Fluttershy, I'll test the portal.  After all Danger is my middle name.  'Rainbow Danger Dash'!"  said Rainbow Dash full of confidence, as always.

        "Are you sure you want to do this?" asked Twilight, walking towards her with a concerned look.

        "Twilight, have you even met me?  I'm the bravest pony around!"  Rainbow Dash boasted, thinking that Twilight was underestimating her totally awesome abilities.

         "Twi' didn't mean it like that, Rainbow.  She just wants to be sure ya know what yer' gettin' yourself into is all." said Applejack, with a reassuring smile on her face.

         "Well, before you can go anywhere, there are a few things you need to keep in mind."   the Princess intruded.

         "Like what?"  said Rainbow Dash, with some curiosity of her own.

         "Well for starters, you will not turn into a human when you enter this world, you will remain as you are now.  Second, the portal will only stay open for about two minutes.  Once the portal closes, it will not reopen for a whole year." exclaimed the Princess.

          Rainbow Dash's mouth was agape from not expecting to only have two minutes to get back to the portal once she landed on Earth.

         "Do you understand he importance of your task?"  asked the Princess.

         Rainbow Dash regained her composer as best she could.  "Y-Yes Princess! I understand fully just how cautious I must be, and I am ready for this mission!" said Rainbow Dash, in a voice that sounded as if she had just been given a spy mission from the military.

         "Alright then, the portal will opening any moment now, we must hurry." said the Princess, who seemed to be in much more of a rush than earlier.

        "One question, where is this 'portal' that you speak of?" asked Rarity, in confusion.

        Then out of the blue, Princess Celestia used her magic to make a door appear in the middle of the room.  They all walked in, figuring it'd be best not to ask and found that the room was much like the one with the mirror portal.  At the end of the room, there was a portal getting bigger by the second.

        "Are you ready, Rainbow Dash?" asked the Princess.

         With the portal now at its maximum size, you'd just barely be able to put in two mares without them touching.

        "Y-Yeah, I'm ready!" Rainbow Dash shouted, trying to hide the bit of nervousness inside her.

        "Come back soon Dashie!" said Pinkie Pie, as 'nervicited' as ever.

  With that, Rainbow Dash flew through the portal with a leap.  Knowing fully of the dangers that lurked for her ahead.  Or did she?
