Toola Roola is an artist. Nothing more. Defiantly NOT a time traveler. Then, suddenly, she is.

Toola Roola is an artist. Nothing more.
But when a pony named Trixie- who claims to be from the future- invites her to return with her, Toola Roola accepts. Big mistake.

Now Toola Roola must try to fit in with a bunch of ponies that live in something that looks nothing like her Ponyville, and find her other 6 friends on the way.

But with Starsong missing, will she be able to?

Note: Starsong and Toola Roola, although G3.5 ponies, are not in FiM yet, so that's why Starsong is missing. Hopefully in Season 7 they will appear, or at least soon!

The New, Improved Ponyville

FLASH! I was thrown out of the light and landed on another pony's tail. Getting up, I said sorry and started running off. Where was I? This place is too weird. When Trixie appeared, I knew to get out. She was right! This IS the future. I started to panic.

"Toola Roola! Calm down!" Trixie yelled to me, but only the familiar face of my friend Sweetie Belle calmed me. Her mane's purple highlights were a little lighter, and she had a different cutie mark, but who cares? My friend was safe! I ran over to her, who was playing with another filly. They looked impatient.

"Hello, Sweetie Belle," I said. Sweetie Belle looked confused.

"Who are you?" she asked. I was crushed. She didn't know me?

"At least while you're here, can you tell Apple Bloom to hurry up?" the other filly asked me.
"Sure, um... who are you?" I said, confused. "I'm Scootaloo. You know, Rainbow Dash's awesome assistant?" the other filly told me. I promptly fainted.

*************************************************************

Will she be OK?

I don't know, Twilight! I hope so!

Do you even know who she is?

All I know is that Trixie brought her back from a mission.

What's her name?

I think I heard Trixie call her Toola Roola.

What happened, Starlight?

I'm not sure. She was found passed out by the Town Hall.

You're sure? Where did she faint?

She fainted next to Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.

"Sweetie Belle? Scootaloo?" I popped up, causing the pony called "Starlight" to scream. She was the pony whose tail I had landed on.

"Are you sure they're OK? Their cutie marks were different! Their manes too! AHHHHHHHH!" I was freaking out. Running out of the building like my tail was on fire, I guess I kinda freaked out "Twilight," too...

Next chapter is Cheerilee! She'll also run into Apple Bloom!

Looking For My Friends

I knew I had to get out of there.

I was sure that "Starlight" and "Twilight" weren't bad ponies. More then that. I knew they weren't! But they just didn't get me. They've lived with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle's new cutie marks and manes for their whole life. Then I appear and say everything should be different. They probably think I'm crazy! Curse that Trixie. This is all her fault.

Anyway, I knew who I had to find next. Cheerilee. She was the reader, the teacher. If anypony would know what happened, she would. AHHH! I'm even talking like I belong here! Ugh.

As I walk around, I see a yellow-with-a-red-mane earth pony filly walking in circles. "Hey!" I yelled to her. She looked up.

"Hello. Do ya know where Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo are? They were supposed ta meet me here!" This must be Apple Bloom, I thought.

"Sure, they're with Twilight and Starlight." I say to her.

"Thanks!" She runs off.

"Hey!" I shout after her. "Do you know where Cheerilee is?" She didn't even hear me... I thought disgustedly. That's when I felt a tug on my tail.

"I know where Cheerilee is." It was Apple Bloom. So she did hear me! I smiled.

"Can you take me to her?" I asked. "Sure!" Apple Bloom started running off toward the Ponyville Schoolhouse.

Cheerilee time!

The Ponyville I Know

My little pony, my little pony
Every day is a dream come true
My little pony, my little pony
Always is when I spend it with you
No way of knowing which way we're going
Our adventure never ends
My little pony, my little pony
Gee, I'm so glad you're my friends

Pinkie Pie had just taken the picture when I heard a noise.

"OW!" someone screamed. Oh, sorry. My name is Toola Roola. I am an earth pony from Ponyville. I am also an artist, which I was just about to do when I heard the noise. It sounded like someone was in trouble! I ran toward the noise, only to find a blue unicorn with a white mane. She looked dazed.

"Are you OK?" I asked her. She nodded. "My name is Trixie Lulumoon. You can call me the Great and Powerful Trixie!" I rolled my eyes. She was so full of herself. Then she said something intriguing. "I am also from the future!" My eyes grew wide. No one could do that! "Would you like to come with me? You could prove me wrong!" she said with a smirk. I glared at her. "You're ON!" That's when she grabbed me with her hoof. Her horn glowed. "Starsong! HELP! I yelled, right before we both disappeared.

Starsong didn't know what she had just seen. She just hoped her friend was all right.

Kinda short, yeah. It gets better! :pinkiehappy:

Back In School

When we enter the Ponyville Schoolhouse, I immediately notice Cheerilee. I stare at her. She has a new cutie mark too?! This is great. I had half a mind to get Trixie to take me back. Then I notice Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. They were right next to Cheerilee, talking to her.

"Hi Miss Cheerilee!" the girls chorused.

"Hello, girls!" Miss Cheerilee smiled. Then she noticed me. "Hi..." I didn't know if Cheerilee still recognized me, so I decided to jog her memory a little bit. I knew that the mention of her old life MIGHT kick something in. This was really starting to get ridiculous.

"You used to read to us... me, Starsong, Pinkie Pie, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Rainbow Dash..." When I said Rainbow Dash's name, Scootaloo perked up.

"Rainbow Dash?!" she yelled, her wings fluttering excitedly. "She's my idol! How do you know her? You just got here, so..." She was hyperventilating. I smiled and put my hoof on Scootaloo's shoulder.

"Calm down. Everypony knows Rainbow Dash. She's the-" "I know!" Scootaloo replied.

"She's the fastest flyer in all of Equestria! She's awesome!" I was shocked. Rainbow Dash? Since when could Rainbow Dash fly? "This is getting RIDICULOUS!" I screamed. The fillies and Cheerilee stared. I smiled sheepishly, then ran.

So Toola Roola is still trying to figure out a not-flightless Rainbow Dash... one who is AWESOME instead of FASHION.

Also, sequel is The New and Improved Rainbow Dash! Coming soon!

:twilightoops: < Wait. Rainbow likes fashion?
:scootangel: < No way!
:rainbowkiss: < Actually... (thinks about wonderbolt uniform)
