My little Pony Friendship is Magic: Bell of the Multiverse

Darkness, there was only darkness and coldness. Soon, a white light blasted through the darkness. The darkness faded away and was replaced with a blue sky. Falling from the sky was a blue comet with bit of rainbow in it. The falling object quickly decrease it’s fall speed as it headed into the forest and crashed through tree branches and finally crashing into the ground.

“...my head…” said Dash as she got up from the hole she created “What?” Dash quickly noticed her front hooves were replace with hands, soon she noticed her own body was changed as well and naked “My hind leg wasn’t that thick, right?” Questioned Dash as she stared at her thighs and soon noticed her wings and tail were gone “MY WINGS!”

After a quick freak out, Dash finally calm down and looked around, she doesn’t recognize the area at all, but to her luck, she could see a large cabin house in the distance.

“Maybe some pony can help me and find the others...ouch!” painfully said Dash as she grabbed her head as she felt something warm oozing out of it. She looked at her hand and could see tiny amount of blood “Maybe a first aid kit as well.”

It didn’t took for Dash to reach the large cabin house but she quickly froze as she saw a red metal object. She slowly walked up it and slowly touch it. It was warm than ice cold like she thought it would feel.

“What is this thing?” questioned Dash

“Huh?” said a male voice from behind the metal object “Dash? Wasn’t you coming home for another day?”

“Yeah, it’s me? Who’s talking?”

“Who’s talking?” said the male voice in confusing.

Dash watch as a same age light yellow tan male, with black short hair, green eyes and wearing a brown hoodie and black jeans, walked out from behind the object and holding bags of food. The guy dropped the bag and blush red.

“Blue sky, why are you naked!?” asked the blushing male as he picked up the bags “Thank heavens our neighbors lives miles from us, now go back inside and put on something. Did you just woke up?”

“Pal, hold up! Why are you acting like you know me or something?” questioned Dash

“Come on, stop joking around. You know I hate when you pull pranks like this. Here.” explained the guy as he signal Dash to come over and hand her a bag with junk food “Got the limited time chips like you asked.” said the man as he lean forward to Dash face and waited for something “Well?”

“Well what dude?” asked Dash as she step backwards.

“My kiss…?”

Dash laughed and walked away to the house “In your dreams buddy but thanks for the ch-whoa!”

bark!

Dash stopped as a black and white husky came running out of the porch and jumping on her.

“Tifa happy to see you again, she missed you too. Leave mamma alone, she’s in her prankster mood today.” laughed the guy as the dog ran around circles Dash as she entered the unopened door.

“Okay, this is getting weird…” thought Dash as she sat the bag on the floor and could see the inside of the cabin looked rich but same time, also didn’t look like it with old looking stuff around like the dinner table was worn out and missing a foot and was standing only because of a few books holding it up. She looked around some more before feeling dizzy and her head was hurting again. She touch her head and this time on her hand, was more blood. She couldn’t stand up any more and leaned on the wall and could hear the dog barking and crying.

“What’s going on? Did you do spook Tifa agai-Dash!” Yelled the man as he saw blood covering Dash face.

Dash tried to say something but everything went dark.

It was dark until Dash heard voices of a young girl.

“Welcome to our home, darling.” said the girl as Dash could hardly make out the scene as the world was slowly filling in. Dash could see a young purple haired girl as she welcome a maid.

“Thank you my lady.” replied the maid as she bow to the girl “This is my first day, so please forgive for any errors in my cleaning.”

“Nonsense darling, you been doing a great job, which is why we wanted to meet with you.” smiled the girl.

“We?” questioned the maid as she saw just the girl in front of her.

“Ah sorry, about that, she just spy. Come out. It’s okay.” happily said girl as she turned to Dash and reach out for her.

Dash rose her hand and took it but something was wrong. It felt like she was grabbing air and nothing else...until she felt someone grabbing it.

“Don’t worry blue sky, I’m here.” whispered a man voice.

“What?” said Dash as she opened her eyes and could find her self in a hospital room and holding her hand was the guy from before.

“Hey, you okay Dashie? Doc said you took a pretty bad fall. Wha-” but before he could finish, Dash swatted his hands away and rose up from the bed and pissed off.

“Okay guy, I don’t know you and only my close friends call me Dashie! Who the hell are you?” yelled Dash in anger.

“What? It’s me blue sky, your husband, Jimmy. You really joking at a time like this?” asked Jim as he grabbed Dash shoulder but only for Dash to push him away and making him fall on the ground.

“SCREW OFF! STOP TOUCHING ME YOU CREEP!” madly screamed Dash as she got the blanket off and got up from the bed but quickly grabbed her head as the pain came back.

“Dash?” whispered Jim in sadness as nurse came in after hearing the fighting and tried to calm her down and asked for him to leave.

Few hours passed, as Jim finally got done talking with the doctor, as both men stared Dash from the door's window. The old looking doctor sadly turned back to Jim.

“As I said, after hitting her head, she not only lost her memory but also believes she was a pony with wings and grew up in some horse sounding place.” explained the doc as he check his notepad.

“Will she be like this forever?” asked Jim as he looked more worry.

“Maybe? Never seen a head injury like this before. Memory lost is common but making up a different life? That’s new to me. Try taking her to places she knows and ease her in back home. Maybe she will remember quicker that way. Got anyone to help you?”

Nodded Jim as he took out his phone and looked at the message that said “I’m here jimmy boi”.

“Good, if her headache gets worst or she has another episode, bring her back right away, okay?”

“Right.”

The doctor walked off, leaving Jim alone. He couldn’t believe what was going. His loving wife was acting like this. He walked away from the door and sat in the chair that was near him.

“Jimmy boi!” called out a strong sounded female voice.

Jim turned and could see a white skin woman with dark white hair, which was tied up in a ponytail, wearing a coach uniform, came up to him and gave him a fist bump.

“Gilda, you came!”

“Of course I came man, after reading those texts, I came over as fast as I could, the softball training for the kids is being taken over by my assistant coach right now. How’s Dashie doing?” questioned Gilda as she peek inside of the room and seeing Dash messing with the bed remote and lowering and rising the bed “She looks normal.”

“She doesn’t remember me or anything. She keeps going off about ponies...the doc said if we make her remember stuff, she might recover. It’s why I called you here. Was gonna text Flutter as well but her phone is not in service for some reason.” explained Jim as he check his phone and see the failed texts.

“You wanna see if she remembers me? Gotch ya old buddy!” grinned Gilda as she opened the door and rush in, while Jim tried to stop her.

“YO LOSER!” said Gilda loudly as she stood in front of Dash

“Great, who are you?” said Dash in a dead pan voice

“Damn, you really don’t remember your best bud? It’s me! Gilda!” smiled Gilda as she did a fancy flex pose.

Dash stopped playing with the bed and sighed as she spoke “You are not Gilda, Gilda is a griffin. Not whatever you are!”

Jim and Gilda looked at each other in confusing. Gilda did a tiny laugh as she walked over to Dash and sat in the chair.

“Dumb dumb, you do remember...somewhat in that broken head of yours. My last name is Griffin. We’re best buds! Here, remember the time you ran in that track race and won it? You remember me and Jim cheering you on? You broke that record so fast, people said you beat it in ten seconds flat. Look here!” explained Gilda as she showed Dash some photos on her phone.

In the photos, Dash could see a much younger version of her self with super long rainbow hair, as she hugged a younger Jim and holding a medal. The next photo was her other self again but this time with a younger Gilda and making funny faces to the phone. Next one was Dash but much older now and holding something thin and white in her hand but looked so happy.

“...What are these photos...Is that me...and what is this thing?” asked Dash as she took the device and scanning it.

“Nothing from the photos...oof...not even the last one?” questioned Gilda as she took back the phone and started to look for more photos but was stopped by Dash.

“Look, you have the wrong pony. I’m not this person you two know. I have no idea what’s going on but if Twilight were here right now, she will believe I ended up in a different universe, like how Daring Do was caught in a wormhole and ended up in a different world where everypony was snake ponies and had to team up with her snake version to get home.” explained Dash.

“Daring Do?” said Jim in confusing but he quickly realized what she meant as he snapped his fingers “Oh, you do mean Indiana Jones daughter?”

“Who now?”

Gilda signed as Jim tried to explain to Dash but stopped him as she butted in “Let’s try taking her to the places we been to before and see that broken brain fixes it stuff. I got the clothes like you wanted, I’ll be.”

Dash and Jim watched as Gilda left the room and shut the door from behind, leaving the two alone. Dash went right back in messing with the bed.

“Bed goes up, bed goes down.” playful thought Dash as she pressed the buttons but stopped as she noticed Jim smiling at her “What’?”

Jim stopped smiling and just try to brush it off but Dash didn’t let him, as she kept asking him, so he finally caved in and answered her “You always do that when you get your hands on a bed that rises and lowers. Heck, remember when we got our first apartment? You wanted that kind of bed? I said no, as you would fry the thing out on the first night. You will also say “Bed goes up. Bed goes down.”

Dash stopped playing with the control of the bed and blush as she heard that. She pouted and looked out the window and stay quite.

“...and your mad.” thought Jim as he knows too well that reaction and waited for Gilda to return.

Later, outside of the parking lot, Gilda watched as Dash, now wearing a red track suit, didn’t want to go with them.

“Dash, please just get in the van. People are starting to give us weird looks.” say Jim as he held the van door opened.

“I keep telling you, I’m not going with you two anywhere. I need to get back home or look for my friends at least! I shouldn’t be wasting time here!” yelled Dash as she was doing wheelies with her wheel chair.

Jim sighed as he closed the door and tried to talk to her again but Gilda couldn’t take it it anymore as they been here for ten minutes already and this wasn't going nowhere. She got off the hood of her truck and walked over to Dash and tipped her over. Jim wasn’t worried as he knew Dash would recover from the fall, which did happen as Dash jumped from the chair and landed on the ground with both feet and glared at her attacker.

“What the heck!? You could had hurt me!” barked Dash as she stomped over to Gilda.

Gilda grinned as she put her face to face with Dash and spoke “Even with a broken and messed up brain, you still have your reflex! You wanna go!? Let’s go Dashie!”

“Oh it’s on sister!” grinned back Dash as she jump backwards and took a fighting stance but stopped as she watch Gilda zipping down her jacket and revealing her muscular and tone body and sporting a workout top and started to run in place “What are you doing?”

Gilda started to stretch her knees and spoke as she looked up at Dash “We’re going at it like we used to do it? We’re going to race!”

“Race?”

“Yeah, straight ahead. Whoever makes it to the other side of the parking lot, wins and the loser has to do whatever the winner wants. Deal?” finished Gilda as she finished her warm up

Dash looked at the lot and could see it was fulled with the metal objects with spare spaces near the end.

“We got to go through all that?”

“Sure do, or are you out of shape or maybe even…” teased Gilda as Jim knew what she was going to say as he sighed and leaned back on his van “CHICKEN!?”

Dash saw fire “OH I’M NOT CHICKEN! LET’S DO THIS! EVEN WITHOUT MY WINGS! I CAN STILL FLY!” yelled Dash as she too started to stretch her knees.

“Did you really lose your memory?” thought Gilda as she heard that line before. She thought back so many years ago on that rainy day…

12 years ago

“Give it up already, you aren’t breaking that record anytime soon.” tiredly said a teenager Gilda as she sat under a tree and her track clothes all muddy.

“Won’t stop, can’t stop!” yelled back a teenager Dash with long hair “I need to beat it!” she finished as she ran pass Gilda and turned the corner of the track field but quickly slipped from the muddy ground.

“How about now? Or did you become a piggy who loves to be covered in mud?” joke Gilda as she stood up and hurried over to Dash, who slowly got up.

“Damn it!” cursed Dash as she kick the ground “Stupid weather man said it be sunny today. Bullshit! If I could control the weather, we won’t be getting all wet and dirty.

“Easy now, what’s going on with you lately? I know we have a school race in a few weeks but you been going overboard. Is it because of the rumors of recruiters coming to watch?” questioned Gilda.

Dash turned around and burst out laughing after what she just heard “PLEASE! I keep telling those people I’m not going pro! My real dream is more important! Running is just a hobby.”

“Then what’s going?”

Dash laughter slowly went away and she sat on the muddy track ground and looked up to the sky “I wanna someone, even without wings, you can still fly…never give up.”

Gilda repeated that line to herself, as she watched as Dash returned to running but quickly stopped as she noticed two people coming to them while under an umbrella. Dash ran even faster as one person waved back to them. Gilda could only watch as Dash soar around the track, like she was in her element. She swear, she could see a rainbow being form from behind Dash.

“Even without wings huh?” whispered Gilda as she turned to the two people, which one was in a wheelchair.

Gilda and Dash took a running stance and waited as Jim rose his hand.

“If you gonna show me that you can still fly, even without your wings, Dash.” Grinned Gilda as she kept looking straight ahead “You better show us that rainbow! Rainbow Dash!”

“Rainbow? You mean…” but before Dash could finish, Jim lowered his hand and both girls took off.

Both girls were neck to neck as they ran towards the first set of cars. Gilda put a hand out and spring jumped over the hood of the car and slide across the next car hood and the last car, she quickly run around it as she didn’t had time to do another slide as it was too close. Gilda thought for sure she had a lead but only for Dash to run pass her and jumped over the next car.

“What!?” thought Gilda as she tried to increase her speed to catch up.

Jim smiled as he seen what happened that Gilda didn’t saw. Dash jumped over all three cars hood with no problem, as she didn’t lose any speed unlike Gilda in the last car. Jim could only watched in awe as Dash did it again with the next set of cars. Old feelings set in as he remembered the old days…

12 years ago

Teenager Jim soar pass the finish line and dropped to his knees as he tried to capture his breath. He gave it his all but he knew it wasn’t enough, as he looked up and could see Dash tapping her foot and smiling as she walked up to him.

“Still can’t beat me. Sure, you are good after recovering but not Dash good.” giggled Dash as she helped him up and patted his back.

“I can never reach your level Dash. Not anymore…” replied Jim as he limped away to the benches and sitting down in sadness.

“I didn’t mean...crap…” whispered Dash as she realized she messed up. She walked over and sat down next to him and took out a water bottle and gave it to him “Sorry, I was just hype that you started to run again.”

Jim drank a bit before looking up at the sunny blue sky with no clouds in sight, “Even recovering, my leg still acts up. My dream is over…”

“Don’t say that!” yelled Dash as she stood up “We just need to keep training is all! You be back to normal!”

“Dash, please stop…”

“Nope, I’m going to show you to never give up on your dreams! Keep running, keep going. Never give up!” ordered Dash as pulled Jim by the hand and back onto the track field “Be loyal to your dreams, okay Jimmy?” smiled Dash as she turned back to him.

Jim watched on in awe as the sun shine bright around Dash. She looked beautiful as she stood there. He couldn’t help himself but blush as Dash snapped her fingers in front of his eyes.

“You there?” asked Dash in worry.

“I’m fine, sorry.” told Jim as he took his running stance “Thanks blue skies…”

“Blue sky?” laughed Dash as she set up next to him “I don’t need another nickname you know? First Gilda calling me Rainbow Dash after that training session. Now you? Why blue skies anyway?”

“Because you look beautiful as the blue sky.” said Jimmy as he took off, leaving Dash bright red and in shock.

“Even now, you still look beautiful as the sky.” smiled Jim as he watched Dash in the lead as her and Gilda finally got through the last set of cars and where nearing the end goal. Gilda was catching up but clearly won’t make it in time as Dash had no sign of slowly down.

“Damn, thought I had a chance!” cursed Gilda as she pushing her all “You hadn’t run in years but yet, you look like you been running in those years!”

“Maybe she did but I haven’t!” yelled back Dash as she turned up her speed.

Dash could feel the high coming from this race, she hardly did foot races because how easy it was to out race everypony but this time? She had a challenge. This non-Gilda was catching up every second. She felt a warmth growing inside of her. She wanted to go faster…

Gilda eyes went wide as she could see something forming behind Dash back. It was rainbow sparkles, almost like rainbow wings...that’s when her and Jimmy felt something, both of them felt weak all of a sudden. Gilda running became sloppy as the weakest grow faster.

“What’s going on?” thought Gilda as she tried her best to not fall.

Dash on the other hand, could feel her body getting lighter and faster, like she was soaring with her wings. She wanted to go faster, higher! But she quickly heard something.

Ding-dong

“A bell?” said Dash as her chest started to hurt. She felt off, like something or someone was giving her a death stare. She started to slow down as the rainbow sparkles faded from her back, making Gilda and Jim recovered from their weakness. This gave Gilda enough time to surpass Dash and reaching the goal as she touch the fence of the parking lot.

Dash stopped and clutch her chest as she started to sweat. Gilda noticed and quickly rush to her and held her as she sit her down.

“Whoa, take it easy. You really are out of shape, huh?” laughed Gilda “Flying around with the Blue Angels got you like this.”

“Blue what?” asked Dash as her chest pain faded away.

Gilda sighed as she help Dash up and helped her back to Jimmy.

“I beat your sorry ass. You better follow through with the deal.” demanded Gilda as she tossed Dash into Jimmy car “Or I’ll kick your blue butt again!”

“I lost, I get it! Let’s just finish this already and go?” said Dash as she lay down in the back seat.

Jimmy shut the door and turned to Gilda “Thanks. I’ll take it from here.”

“No problem jimbo. Just call me if she’s acting up again. Got any clues to remember who she is?” questioned Gilda as she put on her jacket on her shoulder.

“A few. Tho one places comes to mind.” whispered Jim

“Whelp, good luck and don’t worry.” grin Gilda as she put her hand on his shoulder “You’ll make her remember. You was always the reason she kept flying.”

Jim thanked Gilda and got into the car and drove away, leaving Gilda alone as she headed to her jeep but was stopped as the parking offices came running towards as they got reports of two girls jumping on cars and making their alarms go off.

“Shit…” laughed Gilda softly.

Unknown to her, a tall creature with wings was watching the event and flew off.

Meanwhile, five blue fighter jet soar pass over the town and headed towards an military airbase miles away. A female voice spoke from the radio with a lay back tone.

“Bet it’s great to be home again, huh RD?”

The pilot with a blue helmet spoke as she touch a picture on the dashboard “You know it. Sadly it’s only for a day before we head out again…” She took the photo off the dash and held it “Still, seeing my friends and...”

In the picture, were Dash, as she was next to Jim, Gilda on her side, Sptfire on Jim side and both making funny faces, human version of Fluttershy, who was standing next to a very tall man as both were waving to the camera, her own mom and Dad, as they stood behind them. She rubbed the photo of her and Jim as they held a child between them.

“...Family again, It’s gonna be wonderful.”
