Rainbow Dash's adventure (temp. title)

Rainbow Dash was hanging out in her room, doing nothing that would exceed her definition of ordinary. She was mostly just relaxing after a long day of hard work. Eventually, boredom won her over, and she started staring out her window; an action that would usually end in flying around. She could tell that a storm cloud was lingering about 500 feet away. She didn't remember the pegasi planning any type of rain tonight, so she was curious of it. She was about to fly out to it when a giant flash of red, yellow and blue lightning struck; the same colors as the bolt on her cutie mark. Afterwards, a small ball of light lingered where the lightning hit.

"Oh, there better not be a forest fire I have to take care of." She thought to herself. She watched it, paying attention to whether or not it spread slowly. It didn't; in fact, the light moved upwards. Rainbow Dash was confused and concerned; it was heading straight towards her. It got brighter and brighter, until finally she was backing away from the window. She nervously backed herself into the wall. The sphere of light flew through her window and stopped. It slowly transformed into a…something. Slowly, the shape became much more apparent. It was a ghost-like version of… herself. Her mouth opened, but she didn't say anything. She was in awe, confusion, and fear at the same time. She was finally able to speak. "What are you- me doing here?!" The ghost looked at her with a smile, and even laughed a bit.

"You're going to call me 'you- me? That could get confusing fast." Rainbow Dash held her mouth agape. She thought she was crazy. "You're not crazy. To answer your next question, yes, I can read your mind. I am you, you know." "But why are you here?" The ghost put a serious look on her face. "I'm going to send you somewhere you've never seen before. You will not be able to resist." The second the ghost finished its sentence, Rainbow realized her legs were stuck to the ground. The ghost split into 5 other forms- they each morphed into one of Rainbow's friends; Applejack, Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity. The six ponies started spinning around Rainbow Dash at a high speed. "Wh-why are you doing this?!"

Rainbow screamed. "Because you must-" the ghosts were then cut off by the speed they were moving at. They were going so fast, the only thing Rainbow could see was a white line. From the line, lightning bolts of red, blue and yellow shot out and touched her. The amount of lightning striking her quickly increased, until it was almost a solid wall of electricity. She blacked out as she fell through a portal in the colors of a rainbow.

Rainbow Dash regained consciousness in a small forest. The whole thing was layered in a thin fog. "H-hello?" she said quietly. The trees were too thin to be of the Everfree forest. There was something about this place that she could tell was different. She had flown all across Equestria; it was required for a pegasi to know exactly where everything was. She had never seen this forest before, though. She thought for a minute, and then thought about what happened at her house. She realized she wasn't in Equestria anymore. Then something made Rainbow stop; the sound of a twig snapping. She backed up a bit, prepared for anything. She calmed down when she saw it was only a squirrel. The sight gave her a feeling of relief, and a new feeling of hope. Life was definitely here; she simply had to find it. She turned in one direction, and decided she would only fly in that direction until she found anything. She flapped her wings, and quickly became airborne. Then, she zipped off, avoiding every tree in her way. Something about the air made her feel relaxed. It was so… fresh. In Equestria, the air was fresh of course, but nothing like this.

She flew for an hour or so, before she came to a medium-sized building. Rainbow Dash recognized it as a house, but it wasn't designed like her cloud home. She was able to open the door, so she went inside. It was a nice place, with a fairly simple layout. There was a kitchen, a living room, with a large black square on the wall, a dining room, and some stairs. She checked the kitchen out first. In it, she found a silver tube, which curved up and faced down into a small bowl. It had two handles; a blue handle and a red handle. She pulled on the blue handle and, much to her surprise, found a steady stream of water coming from it. She took a long drink from the stream, as the last time she drank anything she couldn't remember. When she was done, she turned it off. She wondered about the red handle, but she left it alone. She looked around for some type of food, but she couldn't seem to find anything. She had one more place to look; a large box with handles in the wall. She opened it up, and a burst of cold air flew out. Her mouth watered at the sight; there were all kinds of different foods.

There were olives, lemons, cheese, cake, strawberries, apples, tomatoes, and so much more. She didn't know what strawberries were, so she grabbed a few and popped them into her mouth. The second the flavor touched her tongue, she felt she was in danger of drooling. She was completely speechless; they were the most delicious thing she had ever tasted. She chewed them for a while, and didn't want to swallow, but eventually she knew she had to. She grabbed a few more, before finally convincing herself to stop.

She walked out of the kitchen, into another room. It was the room with the large, black square on the wall. She walked up to it and found 5 buttons. The first button was largest, with a weird symbol on it. The next two were above a label that said "volume". The other two were over a label saying "Channel". She clicked the large button first. The square was instantly filled with light. Rainbow backed away a bit, but then realized nothing else was going to happen. She knew what volume meant, so she clicked one of the "channel" buttons. The screen became colorful, and she saw moving pictures of creatures doing different things. She found them entertaining, and even a bit funny.

She kept mental notes of which number was on the screen when her favorite channel was on, so she could flip to her favorites when she wanted. She watched for an hour, before she snapped out of her trance. It was dark out, and she was getting tired. Rainbow Dash wasn't finished searching the house, but she knew she needed sleep. She walked up the stairs. "If only this place had a good resting spot." She thought to herself. She walked into the first room she found. She found a small, cheap bed. It was just the right size for her. She couldn't feel more lucky. She lay down quickly, and though it wasn't the most comfortable bed she had ever slept on, it served its purpose. She closed her eyes, and eventually, fell asleep.
