As the sun shone through the window, Rainbow Dash rolled on her bed. "N-Not yet...." She mumbled, covering herself up with her blanket so that the sunshine won't wake her up. But it didn't block the fact that the alarm clock could go off in any minute.
And it did.
Rainbow groaned as she threw her pillow at the clock, even though that only made the sound go a bit quieter. She soon sat up and threw her alarm clock at the floor. But it didn't break. "Wow, you're one tough clock, you know that?" Rainbow said, getting up to place the clock back on the bedside table.
She looked around. She rubbed her eyes and fixed her bed, since her blanket was dragged over to the floor along with her. Rainbow rubbed her head and stretched. It was a weekend, and she didn't have any Wonderbolts Business to take care of, so she had a full normal day at home.
After Rainbow brushed her teeth and washed her face, she tried to comb her hair a bit. She never really cared how her hair looked like, but it looked like a tornado happened just a few minutes ago. Not knowing what to do with her hair, she added a little bit of water onto it and brushed her hair with her red comb.
After she thought she couldn't continue anymore, Rainbow nodded to herself and went to the kitchen.
As Rainbow walked into the quiet kitchen. She looked around, thinking what her breakfast should be. She'd always cook or prepare her own breakfast since she lives alone, or sometimes she'd eat outside. But Rainbow just wanted to eat cereal this time.
She walked over to the fridge and opened it, looking for the milk. As soon as she spotted it, she reached out for it. Until....
rattle rattle
Dash froze. What was that? Nobody was staying at her house today, so there couldn't be anybody in here. So she figured that it might've just been Pinkie Pie pranking her right at the start of morning.
Rainbow picked up the milk carton and shut the fridge. She turned around carefully, scanning the area. Nothing looked like it moved, except for the plant. It looked like it was moved and rattled a bit. Rainbow set the milk carton on the table and grabbed a spoon. It would've been too violent to protect her with a fork, and it wouldn't be any less with a knife.
She slowly approached the plant, her spoon ready. As she was very close to the plant, she went around the corner, and nothing was unusual. Except for the storage door. Rainbow kept her sports equipment and stuff in her bedroom, but since there wasn't enough space, the rest of her sporty gadgets are in an empty closet. The door was partially open, meaning somebody was hiding in there.
Rainbow was a bit scared, but she tried to be brave, thinking that whoever would steal her things would get a smack in the head. Better yet, a kick in the stomach. Or maybe not. She slowly walked towards the door and kicked it open.
"W-wait, what?" Rainbow said, shocked at what she saw. One of the boxes was moving and shaking, and someone, or something, was inside, throwing stuff out of the box. "Sh-show yourself! Or I'll make you!" Rainbow yelled as she poked the box with her foot.
As soon as she poked the box, it stopped moving. The figure jumped out of the box and flared its......wings? Rainbow stepped closer to see what it was, and saw a tiny baby pony. Its coat was blue, and its hair and eye color was the same as Rainbow Dash's. Rainbow jumped back. Was she dreaming? She dropped her spoon and pinched her arm. But it was no use, she wasn't waking up.
"Hi!" The pony said cheerfully with a bright, cute smile. "I'm Wainbow Dash!" She said as she trotted towards Rainbow and hugged her leg. She giggled and looked up. "What's your name?"
Rainbow tilted her head and raised her eyebrow. "You're....Rainbow Dash? But I'm Rainbow Dash! There can't be two of us!" She shouted, picking up the pony and looked it in the eye. "What's your name, kiddo?"
"Wainbow Dash!" It said again. "Me Wainbow Dash!" It giggled again and squished Rainbow's face.
Rainbow pulled back and rolled her eyes. Maybe she was just dreaming and she couldn't pinch herself. Or, maybe she was hallucinating. She walked out of the storage room, locked the door, and put the pony on the ground. Rainbow leaned down and examined the pony. It was a pegasus, and its cutie mark was the same as Rainbow's signature. "Okay.......so.....where're you from, kid?" She asked. Maybe it was a child dressed up in a really convincing outfit. "Maybe I can take you home."
But the pony just giggled and hugged Rainbow's leg again. Rainbow groaned and patted the pony on its head. "Look, you can't stay here for long. I have no idea how to take care of a pony!" She picked the baby up and stood straight.
The pony grinned. "Me stay with you!" It giggled and booped Rainbow's nose. "Yay!" It raised its hooves and giggled continuously.
Rainbow sighed. "Look, I really can't take care of a pony." She said again. "I have a pet turtle, but I can't have a pet pony!" She said, setting the pony on the floor. She walked towards the bar and sat on the chair. "Maybe I could take it to the vet.....no, it's not sick or anything. I should take it to the pet shop." She turned the chair around to check on the pony, but it wasn't there anymore. Rainbow turned back around and saw the pony on the table.
The pony gurgled and chewed on her hoof. "Ey, ey! No chewing! That's gonna make a mess!" Rainbow lightly slapped the pony on the hoof. The pony started crying, making Rainbow moan. "Gah, don't cry! Um, uh...." Rainbow stammered as she looked around the kitchen. There was barely anything around that could cheer the baby up.
She stood up and ran to the storage room. She tried to open it, forgetting that she locked it. She ran to her bedroom room, took the keys, came back, unlocked it, and swung the door open. She opened the box that the pony was in. It was filled with tennis balls, soft balls, and all kinds of small balls. Rainbow picked up one of the tennis balls and ran out of the storage room.
"U-um, here!" Rainbow said as she showed the ball to the pony, or Wainbow Dash. "T-tennis ball! Wahoo!" She awkwardly shouted and dribbled the ball twice.
"Hehe...." Wainbow started giggling and tried to reach for the ball. "Tennis boll! Tennis boll!" It clapped its hooves as Rainbow placed the ball in front of the pony. It picked it up and flew to the ground.
Rainbow laughed. "Heh, you really like it, do ya?" She said. But as she thought about the pony going into the storage room just to get the tennis ball, a question raised in Rainbow's head.
How did she get in in the first place?
Rainbow never left that closet unlocked, and its keys were hidden in Rainbow's bedside table. There was no way that the pony could've gotten in without Rainbow noticing. She walked towards the storage room and examined the door. It didn't look like it was forced to be opened. There was no lockpick around. How did the pony do it?
Before she knew it, she heard the pony giggle behind her. "Not now, kid." She said, turning around. But it wasn't the same pony. This time it was a purple unicorn with straight dark blue hair and pink and purple highlights. Come to think of it, it looked like Twilight Sparkle, one of Rainbow's best friends. "U-um....are you a friend of Rainbow's?" She asked.
"Twiwight Spawkel!" The pony said. A very bright light came from its horn, making Rainbow unable to see.
"H-hey, stop that!" Rainbow yelled, covering her eyes. She ran away, even though she couldn't see where she was going. The next thing she knew was that she was back in the kitchen, and Rainbow's pony counterpart was chewing on the tennis ball. "What did we say about chewing?!?" Rainbow shouted, taking the ball out of the pony's mouth. "Look, is that purple pony your friend?"
"Twiwight my fwiend!" The pony grinned and flew over to where Twilight was. "Twiwight!!"
Rainbow Dash ran after her. "Hey, hold up!" She screamed. As soon as they came to a corner, Rainbow made a quick halt as she saw something she never knew she'd ever see.
There were more than two ponies. A lot more. There were probably six of them. "Hey, how did you all get in here!?" Rainbow said, looking at each of the ponies. All of them, besides the one that looked like Rainbow, seemed to look like her friends. "Look, I can't take care of a pony! Much less six!!!" She explained.
Before she knew it, all six started to weep.
"Hey, no!" Rainbow said. "D-don't cry! Um, look!" She started doing all kinds of silly faces that her father and Pinkie Pie taught her. They all stopped crying to watch Rainbow's ridiculous faces, but they all kept crying right afterwards.
"C'mon, what's it gonna take to get you guys to stop?" She said, rapidly rubbing her head. She walked backwards and covered her ears. "Sweet Celestia, please stop!!!" She yelled. After a few seconds of walking backwards, Rainbow hit herself over an end table and fell over the other side of it, and if she was fortunate enough, there wouldn't be a trash can on the other side. But there was.
"Hey, where did this thing come from!?" Rainbow shouted, trying to shake herself out of the can. "I don't remember getting one of those trash cans that are pretty much everywhere in the streets! G-get it off me!" Attempting to get herself out, she shook the can harder than before. It immediately fell on the ground afterwards. "H-help!" She shouted as the trash can began to roll.
Thinking that it was no use, Rainbow stopped making noise, and heard the noise of the ponies. She wanted to cover her ears so she wouldn't hear the crying, but she couldn't. In fact, they actually weren't crying. They were laughing.
"C-c-cut that out and help me!" She angrily shouted. After a few seconds, the trash can was in the air, while Rainbow was just lying on the ground. The pony that looked like Rarity used her magic to set the trash can down. "Thanks....." She said, catching her breath.
"Anyways, as I was saying, I can't take care of all of you." Rainbow said as she got up and looked at everypony. "I'm not much of a mother, and I'm definitely not much of a caretaker for animals. So I'm sending you guys to the pet shop." She said, turning around towards the door.
But, apparently, there were even more ponies behind her. "Vinyl? Octavia? Derpy?" She said as she scanned through the group of ponies. There were at least six more ponies. Looking closer, there were five more. With one baby dragon. "A-a-a dragon!? What the hell!?! I can't take care of a dragon!!" She yelled.
"Spike!" The dragon gurgled and laughed. The others laughed along.
Rainbow looked at everypony. What could she do? How is she gonna take all of them to the pet shop and not leave a mess? And she knew it would be pretty embarrassing. She ran to her bedroom and came back with a gigantic blue and yellow sports bag she got from the Wonderbolts.
"Alright, everybody........er.....I mean, everypony in! Now!" She commanded, pointing at the open bag. Each pony happily trotted in, and some flew in. "Okay, if you want a mommy, you're gonna have to stay quiet in here and pretend like stuffed animals!" She hushed. The ponies nodded.
"Okay. Good!" She said. As she was about to close the bag, she thought that she couldn't close the bag, or else they might cry from the darkness. She left the bag open and walked towards the door.
But, once she opened the front door and set foot on the pavement, the sunshine shone into the bag. A couple of the ponies noticed it. Just then, all of them started shouting. "No! No! No! No! No!"
"W-what!?" Rainbow yelled. She looked up at the sky. "Oh, you don't like the sunshine? U-um....okay...." She quickly zipped the bag. But they were still shouting. She unzipped the bag and loudly asked, "What, it's not that either!?"
Rainbow looked around. There wasn't anybody around, but people would soon pass by and notice. She quickly ran inside and shut the door. She set the bag on the floor, letting them out of the bag. And, for some reason, once she was back inside, they stopped shouting.
"Huh?" She said. She turned around and peeped through the door's peephole. Nobody was there, why were they shouting outside? She picked up the pony that looked like Applejack and went outside.
"No! No! No!" It repeatedly yelled.
Rainbow looked at her in a confused expression. "What? What's wrong with you guys?" She asked, walking farther away from the house. But it only yelled even louder. "Oh, you don't like being outside? That's weird, I thought you guys were animals." She ran inside and locked the door.
She sighed. If she couldn't bring them outside, how was she supposed to bring them to the pet shop? All she could do now was to take care of them until they were old enough to understand the words "Going outside is not dangerous". They were all scattered around the floor, trotting around, or possibly even rolling around.
Rainbow sighed again. "I guess I don't have much of a choice. Maybe I should just call Fluttershy, she's good with animals, right?" She thought to herself as she looked at the Fluttershy counterpart. She took out her phone and started searching for Fluttershy's number. She quickly tapped on her number as soon as she found it. "Hello? Flutters? I need your help with a couple of....um....ponies.....can you come over?"
"Huh?" Fluttershy said. "Ponies? What do you mean? You adopted ponies? I thought your backyard was too small for horses."
"N-no! That's not what I meant!" Rainbow said. "Look, it's kinda hard to explain, can you just come over here?"
There was a short pause. Rainbow didn't know why, but Fluttershy was probably just thinking about it. "Um....okay, I guess I can. I'm not really doing anything this after noon anyway. But um........it might take a while until I get there.......Angel's kind of.......having a small tantrum." She said, as sounds of falling objects could be heard.
"Um....okay?" Rainbow said, too scared to ask if Fluttershy was okay. "Well, thanks! I owe you one for this!!" She excitedly hung up and put her phone back into her pocket. She examined the room. All the ponies were doing all sorts of things.
Rainbow cleared her throat and stood straight. "Attention!" She screamed as loud as she could. "Somebody's coming over to help me help you guys, and you all better behave!" All the ponies nodded and trotted over to Rainbow.
"Aww....." Rainbow blurted our. She snapped out of it and shook her head. "A-anyways....um what can you guys do?" She looked around, and then spotted the TV. "You know what, let's go watch a movie."
"Movie!" The ponies shouted and ran to the TV.
One hour later...
"Gee, that was awesome!" Rainbow said with a brig grin and threw a popcorn into her mouth. But, all the ponies suddenly looked at her. "W-what?"
"Me want more!" The one that looked like Lyra Heartstrings said.
"Me too!" Bonbon raised her hoof.
"Me thwee!" Derpy Hooves flew up in the air and bumped her head into the ceiling. "Owie...."
Rainbow looked at everpony else, and it seemed like everypony wanted another movie. "Um, sure but, Fluttershy told me that more than one hour of electronics aren't good for babies." She quickly explained, hoping that they wouldn't cry again.
And yet they did.
Rainbow groaned and covered her ears, even though it barely helped. "Stop it.....stop it!"
The crying was so loud that Rainbow could barely hear anything else. Except for one thing....
"Rainbow............................Rainbow..................Rainbow..........Rainbow!!!"
"Huh!?!" Rainbow screamed as she sat up. "W-what's going on?" She stammered as she looked around......her room? Why was she back in her room? Did she faint and all her friends came over?
"Ya finally got back to ya senses!" Applejack complained, walking over to her bed. "We've been shouting your name over and over again for who knows how long!"
"R-really?" Rainbow asked as she rubbed her eyes. "So it was just a dream after all...."
"Ooooh! A dream!?" Pinkie yelled, who was all the way across the room. Then, she suddenly jumped right in front of Rainbow Dash. "Tell us all about it!!"
Rainbow rolled her eyes and looked down. "Well.....let's see......I just woke up in the morning, did my daily routine, yada yada yada, and then for some reason, baby ponies started to show up in my house! Even a baby dragon!"
"Baby ponies!?" Fluttershy shouted louder than she normally would talk. "Baby dragon!?! Really!?" She said, running up to Rainbow and looking her in the eyes.
Rainbow gulped as sweat poured down her face. "Er....yeah?" She said, lightly pushing Fluttershy away. "Anyways, what're you all doing here?"
Rarity stepped up and smiled. "Well, dear, I woke up earlier than usual today, because I had a very early spa appointment." She started to explain. "I passed by your house and suddenly heard a loud scream coming from inside. I believe it was you, so I rang the bell to make sure you were okay. I got worried since you didn't answer, so I ran to the back of the house because that's where I thought the source was. Then, I saw you continuously rolling around your bed, moaning and groaning!"
Then Pinkie grinned and cut Rarity's story. "Then Rarity called all of us to help her, and Applejack opened the front door with some kind of metal candy cane looking thing!"
Applejack looked furious. "It's called a crowbar!" She yelled.
Rainbow was shocked. "You broke my door!?!" She shouted at Applejack.
"A-anyways!" Twilight said loudly. "We all came to your room and tried to wake you up."
Rainbow took a deep breath and got up. "Phew, well I'm glad it was all just a dream! I'm telling you, I could've died from dreams back there if you guys didn't come to wake me up!"
Twilight giggled. "Hehe, well, dying from dreams isn't possible you know, because-"
Rainbow suddenly clapped her hand on Twilight's hand. "Don't continue your 'analysis'. Please." Then, everybody started to laugh. Afterwards, everbody followed Rainbow Dash to her kitchen so she could eat her breakfast.
"Hold on, let me just grab my crowbar!" Applejack yelled after them and walked back into the room. She picked up her crowbar and noticed a small stack of hay right next to it. "Hay? As in.....the one that ponies eat?" She thought to herself. "Meh." She shrugged and ran back out of the room.
