Duba's Adventures
The switcheroo
Previous ChapterNext ChapterDuba: "Dive bomb!!!" Duba crashes into Spike creating a huge explosion.
Vinyl Scratch: "Whoa, new record."
Spike: "I know right what would you score that?"
Vinyl Scratch: "About eight-ish"
Duba: "I feel funny." Trying to stand up but falls. "I can't walk on my two legs."
Vinyl Scratch: "You alright Duba?"
Spike: "I'm fine why do you ask?"
Vinyl Scratch: Realizing what's happening she burst out laughing. "No way, you two switched bodies when you crashed."
Spike: Inspecting himself. "Whoa, freaky."
Duba: "Wait so I'm Duba now? I can't be I need to help Rarity out later"
Spike: "I can do it."
Duba: "You're not me so don't you dare do it."
Spike: "Fine...you be me and help her I'll go about doing dragon stuff."
Duba: "Like?"
Spike: Opens his mouth and starts blowing. "Well starting with breathing fire. But i'll be back in a bit." He walks off.
Duba: "We need to fix this Vinyl."
Vinyl Scratch: "Hey I would kill to switch bodies you're on your own this time." She walks off.
Duba: "W-what? no."
Spike: Continues to blow. "Maybe I'm missing something to this fire breathing technique."
Fluttershy: Gently flies down. "Oh, Spike there you are I have been looking all over for you."
Spike: "Am I in trouble?"
Fluttershy: Oh on you're not I just wanted to pay you for feeding my animal critters I know a few of them weren't so kind towards you." She hands him a sapphire.
Spike: Just looks at it.
Fluttershy: "Oh..if it's not what you wanted I can switch it for another one."
Spike: "It's not that...what am I suppose to do with a sapphire?"
Fluttershy: "Don't dragons usually eat them."
Spike: Putting a finger in his mouth. "Won't they break my teeth?"
Fluttershy: "Of course not."
Spike: Takes it delicately. "Okay then thanks." Fluttershy smiles before taking off.
On the other side of Ponyville.
Duba: "I can't believe I'm stuck in this body."
Carrot Top: Quickly spots Duba passing by. "Hiii Duba, what are you doing today?"
Duba: "Oh I'm not Du....I mean I'm going to help Rarity."
Carrot Top: "Oh and is she paying you?"
Duba: "Nope voluntarily."
Carrot Top: Raises an eyebrow in concern. "You've never used big words before are you feeling alright?"
Duba: "I'm fine, but I should really get going." He runs off. "What just happened?" Finally reaching the boutique he enters the bell chimes.
Rarity: "Just a second, I'll be there shortly" She trots happily before stopping and gazing uncomfortably at Duba. "Oh..it's you..can I help you with something?"
Duba: "Nope I'm actually here to help you."
Rarity: "With what exactly?"
Duba: Thinking for a bit. "I'm filling in for Spike."
Rarity: "Is he alright?"
Duba: "More or less he's not himself right now that much I can say."
Rarity: "Oh, poor Spikey wikey I hope he gets better."
Duba: Happily sighs at hearing her say that.
Rarity: "Well okay then follow me." She leads him to a room that's in a wreck of clothes and fabric. "Alot of this fabric has gone to waste some of it good and some of it not I want you to pick the good from the bad, discard the bad in the trash, and what you think I can use again organize it in those cabinets alphabetically and by color did you catch all that?"
Duba: "Yes."
Rarity: She looks at him surprised. "Really? Well then it shouldn't be of an issue I'll check on you in 30 minutes hopefully you do a decent job." She leaves closing the door behind her.
Duba: "Okay time to make Rarity proud." He picks up a fabric only for it to slide off his hoof. "Oh right no fingers."
Spike: Poking at the sapphire. "Do I just bite it?"
Twilight Sparkle: "Spike there you are, I thought you were helping Rarity."
Spike: "Oh...I'm not."
Twilight Sparkle: "Oh that's splendid I need you to write a letter to the Princess" Hands him a scroll and pen.
Spike: Attempts to grab it but it falls to the ground he just stares at it.
Twilight Sparkle: "Are you okay Spike?"
Spike: "Yeah but um how do I grab things?"
Twilight Sparkle: "With your hands?....if you're not feeling well I can do it myself while you rest back at the castle."
Spike: "But I still need to know how to breathe fire."
Twilight Sparkle: Lifts the scroll and pen with her magic. "Just go back to the castle and rest I'll check on you when I finish my task for the day." She flies off.
Spike: Continues to blow attempting to breathe fire.
Back at the boutique.
Duba: Panting in exhaustion. "Finally I can see why she needs someone with fingers."
Rarity: Walks in "I'm assuming you didn't make a complete mess of things...oh"
Duba: "I'm sorry if it's not how you wanted it."
Rarity: "No no Duba darling this is perfect you really surprised me I was assuming you would do your usual nature of making a mess of things but this.." Inspects the bad cloth in a ball then walks over to the cabinets all in order.
Duba: "Thank you Rarity" He blushes.
Rarity: "Now how would you like me to repay you?"
Duba: His stomach growls. "A good gem would hit the spot."
Rarity: "Gem? you're not a dragon but you do have a random nature so who am I to judge." She hands him a emerald gem "I hope you can help again soon darling." She walks off.
Duba: His mouth waters as he bites into the emerald suddenly in a state of pain as he realizes he nearly shattered his teeth from how hard he bit into it. "I can't eat emeralds anymore? I gotta find Duba and get my body back." He runs only to be stopped from the front door with Rarity and Carrot Top.
Carrot Top: "Are you trying to take my coltfriend you fashion freak?"
Rarity: "Fashion freak?" Scoffs "Why I never he only offered his services I in no way was trying to take him from you."
Duba: "Um I'm just gonna go." He slowly heads for the exit.
Carrot Top: Sees him sweating. "You worked him like a dog didn't you and his teeth."
Rarity: "I had nothing to do with that."
Carrot Top: "You're such a liar." She tackles Rarity pulling on her mane.
Duba: Runs off.
Spike: At Vinyls house sitting on the couch. "So I have been trying to breathe fire with no luck."
Vinyl Scratch: "That sucks bro."
Duba: Entering the house. "I want my body back, I want my life back, also you're dating Carrot Top?"
Spike: "No..Why?"
Duba: "No reason...but how can we switch back to our old selfs?"
Vinyl Scratch: Gets up. "Do what caused it I'll ready the catapult." She heads out.
Moments later.
Duba: Nervously shaking. "And are you sure this will work?"
Vinyl Scratch: "I dunno"
Rarity: Approaching angrily with her mane messed up. "There you are next time you want to help make sure it's as far away as my boutique as possible." She pulls the lever launching him off.
Vinyl Scratch: "Well....that was unexpected."
Spike: Sitting down on a target still attempting to blow fire.
Twilight Sparkle: Walks up to him. "Spike I thought I told you to rest back at the castle."
Spike: "I can't."
Twilight Sparkle: "Well come on." Lifts him up with her magic. "I'm free for the day so I'll be sure to set up some remedies for whatever is wrong with you."
Spike: Flailing around. "I can't leave me alone."
Twilight Sparkle: "Spike what is the matter with you?"
Duba: "Twilight watch out!!!" He smashes into both Spike and Twilight creating another crater.
Stallion worker: Tosses his construction hat on the ground. "Oh come on!!"
The smoke slowly clears.
Vinyl Scratch: Approaching them. "Duba..Spike?"
Duba: "Yeah?"
Vinyl Scratch: "Are you back in your old body?"
Duba: Inspects himself. "Sure am."
Vinyl Scratch: "Neat-o what about.."
Spike: Screams. "What is going on why am I in Spikes body?"
Twilight Sparkle: "Oh come on Duba got his old body back and I'm stuck in Twilights."
Vinyl Scratch: "Only one way to fix this."
Duba: "Lets ready the cata.." Burps out a stream of fire.
