Learning Another World

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Rainbow is in hot pursuit of her Instigater, as soon as Anon steps outside Sugerube Corner he blasts off into the sky in the direction of his house. He looks behind him to see a Rainbow hot on his tail "Shit She's gaining on me!" Anon flips over a small cloud and bends his knees "Hope this works!" Anon successfully jumps off the cloud in the same direction this time with greater speed

Rainbow in mid air has a look of surprise on her face "Wait did he just?" Rainbow picks up her pace and sees Anon nearing the ground and crashes in the field he entered the world from next to the lake

Anon gets up with a hand on his neck and a disgruntled look "Landings! jeez how are they that DIFFICULT!" he looks behind him in the sky but see's no Rainbow Dash "Huh I guess she really isn't faster than..." He looks straightforward and catches a brief rainbow trail and is tackled to the ground "Meh! ugh!"

Spinning on the ground for a second both land and Anon is on his back now with Rainbow standing overtop, She leans her face close to his, Anon blushes "Don't call me slow if you know what's good for ya" Anon can only let out a nervous laugh and Anon tries to get up but feels a hoof on his chest gently pushing him back down. Rainbow spreads her wings and raises them high

"heh Dash? What are you-"

"This is True Speed"

With immense power one flap of her wings sends her high into the air at Sonic Speeds and Anon is left speechless as he stares in the wide open sky. Rainbow is now flying straight toward him and he sees a cone form around her body.

"Is she about to break the sound barrier??" *BOOM* A blast of immense proportion and color envoloped the entire sky, a circular rainbow pattern emanated where she was. She starts slowing her decent and right before landing in front of Anon preforms a backflip and touches down softly

"And that is speed, Any Questions?" Rainbow with half lidded eyes and a devious smirk looks at Anon who is still comprehending what he witnessed

"So many, That was amazing and it shook the ground too!"

Rainbow looks at the sky at the clouds moving away from the explosion and at the ground "Huh"

"Is something wrong Rainbow?" Anon asks a little concerned

"Well that Sonic Rainboom was way more powerful than ever before..."

Anon and Rainbow sits down properly next to each other gazing at the lake

"I knew you were fast but I didn't know you were THAT fast, that's cool as hell"

Rainbow laughs in earnest of her complement "Thanks for the ego boost, and for realizing i'm faster heh" Rainbow takes a deep breath "So anyway, tell me more about yourself starting with the Dog Whistle" she says as she points at the necklace

Anon looks down at his necklace and exhales an exasperated sigh and small chuckle "Even in this world? I guess it does look like one"

"So it's not I take it"

"It's not, it's actually the staff of The Monkey King" Anon takes off the necklace and hands it to Rainbow

"Wait so you're a King?"

Anon puffs his chest and looks at her with a smirky expression " why of course I am can't ya tell?"

Rainbow bumps Anon with her shoulder into his while laughing "Okay so you're not a Monkey King"

"Not a, The, There can only be one, haha well I am only in mindset I dont think I actually am, Sun Wukong is his name and he is my favorite mythos and quite possibly the most powerful non omnipotent character in fiction"

"Say what now? Mythos? What is that?" Rainbow looks at Anon in confusion

Anon takes a moment to take in a deep breath and exhales "oh we're gonna be here for a while, you sure you wanna know more about my interests?"

" psshhh c'mon Anon I'm invested in hearing about the stuff in your world, sounds fun"

"Alright then, here we go..."

A couple hours have passed as Anon tells Rainbow all about The Journey to the West and the influence it had on the modern media as well as the anime it inspired and what that is. Rainbow listened very intently and was intrigued by how similar the media between their worlds were similar as well, what with Daring Do being basically Indiana Jones but pony version. More and more topics came up and a couple more hours later they were comparing the differences between the two worlds such as Magic and Technology. At one point the two were joking about AppleJack having the same name as a famous Cereal. They were so involved in each other's world that they didn't even realize the sun had been setting and it was getting dark...
