The Generation Gap: The New And Improved Rainbow Dash (And Other Characters)by mckluvChaptersDash Of AwesomeTrixie's PlanMinty, Minty, MINTY!Dash Of AwesomeWe flashback from the Ponyville Schoolhouse... "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. It's true. Sadly to say, I have no idea who this new Rainbow Dash was. That "Twilight" pony may have added wings. No idea. That's when a blue Pegasus with a rainbow mane flew past me and made me fall into a puddle. "HEY!" I screamed. The pegasus skidded to a halt and flew back toward me, picked me up, moved me over to a dry area, put me down and flew all around my head. When I stopped being dizzy, my mane was REALLY frizzy. I glared at the pegasus pony, who was smiling sheepishly. "Sorry!" She flew back down and sat by me. "I guess I've been a little excited. I raised my eyebrow at her. "A LITTLE excited?!" I couldn't believe that knocking me over and making my mane frizzy counted as a little excited. "Maybe a LOT excited. I'm training for the Wonderbolts and I guess I wasn't looking where I was going." She brushed herself off. "By the way, who are you? I'm Rainbow Dash, the one and only!" I gasped. "So YOU'RE that imposter!" She looked confused. "Imposter?" "Yeah. Rainbow Dash is an earth pony who loves fashion! You are an awesome pegasus!" I stared at her expectantly, when she suddenly smirked. "Thanks for noticing! I am an awesome pegasus!" Then she flew off. I facehoofed. Author's Note Reference to Friendship is Magic, Part 1. Trixie's PlanHearth's Warming Eve, 5 Years Ago "The last sock!" Minty shouted excitedly. After accidentally breaking the "Here Comes Hearth's Warming Candy Cane," Minty knew she had to do something. Which is why she was now bringing socks to everypony in Ponyville. However, she was starting to doubt her plan. Now that the last sock was hung, however... she could finally go home. At least that was what she thought. She looked behind her. Everypony was fast asleep, although there was a slight shimmer by the fireplace where she had hung the sock. She shrugged and started home, but completely freaked out when she heard a voice call her name. "MINTY!" called the voice. Minty looked down and saw a blue unicorn pony with grayish-white hair staring at her. She had a moon with a wand in it as her cutie mark. Minty didn't know her, how could she know Minty? Then again, everypony probably knew her as the pony who ruined Hearth's Warming. She started to cry. "There, there," the strange Unicorn said to her. "I know a place where nopony knows you, at least not yet!" "Really?" Minty couldn't believe it. "Do you want to come? I could bring you with me. I have a friend who is from here, and she might want to see you." "Who? Wysteria? Pinkie Pie? Star Catcher? RAINBOW DASH?" The suspense was getting to Minty. Then she remembered. "I can't. I have to go to the North Pole to help Santa Claus find Ponyville! After I broke the Here Comes Hearth's Warming Candy Cane..." The memory was too much. She looked at the strange Unicorn. "I'll go." "Great!" the Unicorn said. "By the way, I'm Trixie. Thanks for riding the Portal Express To The Future." "Wait. WHAT?!" Minty screamed. Seeing Pinkie Pie at the top of the steps, she held out her hoof, screaming for Pinkie to help, but by then, nopony could help. *********************************************************************************************************************** Pinkie Pie woke up. She could've sworn she heard Minty, but what was Minty doing in her house this late at night? She snuck downstairs, stopping when she heard another pony talking, aka NOT MINTY. She rushed upstairs, grabbed her phone, and was about to call the authorities when the other pony said something interesting. "I know a place where nopony knows you, at least not yet!" Pinkie stuck her hoof over her mouth to keep from gasping, but she couldn't believe that Minty actually was going to go to the North Pole to find Santa Claus. Everypony knew Minty couldn't fly a balloon! That's when Pinkie screamed inside her head. "I'll go." "Great!" said the strange pony. "By the way, I'm Trixie. Thanks for riding the Portal Express To The Future." "Wait. WHAT?!" Minty screamed. Pinkie gasped. That's when Minty saw her. "Pinkie! HELP!" she yelled. Then Trixie pulled Minty through the portal, accidentally leaving it open for a small pink Earth Pony to go through. So she did. Author's Note Takes place after A Very Minty Christmas. Enjoy! For thePINKIEPIEsquad. She asked for Minty to be included! Please follow her! You all know who the small pink Earth Pony was, right? Things will get weird. For those who have seen the scene in MLP FiM "Too Many Pinkie Pies" where a Pinkie clone changes her face to look like MLP G3 Pinkie Pie, you know what I mean. Minty, Minty, MINTY!WHAM! As Minty crashed into Ponyville, she couldn't believe how different it was. But the one thing that was kind of freaking her out was that a pony was staring at her. "Eek!" Minty hid behind Trixie, who had popped out by now. "Minty, this is Toola Roola, the friend I told you about. She is from the past as well, but not YOUR past, she's from a little bit into the future from your time." Trixie said, trying to shove Minty into the open. "It's nice to meet you, Minty!" Toola Roola said, making Minty smile. This pony is nice, she thought. "Does she know about the Here Comes Hearth's Warming Candy Cane?" Minty was still a little worried. "The what?" "Huh? What's at the top of YOUR Hearth's Warming tree?" "Twinkle Wish!" Toola Roola smiled. "She's a star that grants wishes for all of Ponyville!" "Really?" Minty couldn't believe it. "Yeah!" Toola Roola smiled huge this time. "Maybe you and Trixie could come the next time. It's really fun. We have a HUGE party afterwards! The last time, Scootaloo lost it." "Scootaloo did what?" A voice interrupted their conversation. "Scootaloo is over there. She couldn't lose anything!" The pony pointed to the Cutie Mark Crusaders, who were with a pony that was digging a hole in the ground. "I'm Pinkie Pie. And when I heard you say HUGE PARTY, you got me interested! And since you-" she pointed to Minty- "are new in Ponyville, I have to throw YOU a party! What's your name?" Minty was overwhelmed. "I'm Minty..." Minty was embarrassed, for there was a Pinkie Pie in her Ponyville who saw her break the Here Comes Hearth's Warming Candy Cane. Then there was a faint buzz. Out came a small pink Earth Pony, who was sheepishly smiling. "Minty, I'm so sorry I didn't get down there in time, really I am..." Then she noticed Pinkie Pie. "Oh geez..." Author's Note Two Pinkies. One from now, one from G3. Confusion alert.
