Rainbow Dash and Flaky in: Dimension Jumping

Rainbow Dash felt a prick of minor pain, and passed out. Not due to the pain, but a minor side effect of the spell used to send her astral form to the dimension. When she awoke, she was outside a building. It was daytime. A red porcupine walked by. Rainbow Dash flew up to her and began to talk.

“Flaky, right? Well, I need you to come with me,” she demanded. Flaky gave her an odd look, and shrank away. “You’re worse than Fluttershy! C’mon, just talk to me!” Flaky ran away, leaving bits of square dandruff in her wake.

“I forgot to mention. Flaky is really scared of everything,” informed Twilight. “Also, they don’t speak Equestrian. Try listening in to their language.”

“Alright…” decided Rainbow hesitantly. A yellow rabbit walked by with a pink chipmunk. Rainbow Dash recognized the two as Cuddles and Giggles.

“Wa wab wub wa ma, ma wa sal sa, wa va nana!” said Cuddles.

“Fa ra dub wab wa a nub wub!” laughed Giggles.

“Now try talking,” suggested Twilight.

“Fa wa dasa?” asked Rainbow. She looked down at her muzzle and screamed. “Wahh ae ara!”

“Aaf fao ea?” asked Cuddles. Rainbow Dash could understand them! He had asked if she was alright!

“Yeah, just… getting used to the new language. Could… are you Cuddles?” Rainbow asked Cuddles.

“The one and only!” he responded. Rainbow sighed with relief.

“Good! You may not believe me…” she began.

“He believes anything…” Giggles assured, annoyed.

“Look, Lumpy had me really convinced with that TV!” Cuddles argued.

“…but, I’m from a different world,” finished Rainbow, not pleased with her final product.

“As in aliens? You sure look weird, on all fours,” asked Giggles.

“No, different dimension. Ain’t that right, Twilight?” corrected Rainbow. The communication device crackled.

“Well, if he doesn’t believe you…” came Twilight’s voice.

“And you need me?” asked Cuddles, excitedly.

“You, and a certain ‘Flaky’…” decided Rainbow Dash. Her knack for determination had her sights set on Flaky.

“Flaky’ll be rough. We should get started,” decided Cuddles while nodding. “Come with us. You know me, I’m Cuddles, this is my girlfriend, Giggles, and you are?”

“Rainbow Dash. You can call me Rainbow,” responded Rainbow Dash. She began to fly next to them.

“Wow. You have wings?” asks Cuddles. Rainbow nods.

“Does everybody have wings were you come from?” asks Giggles. Rainbow looks confused.

“Everybody? Never heard that one before. Well, um… some have horns, too, and some with no extra parts.”

“For instance, I’m a unicorn, so I have a horn,” clarified Twilight. Giggles nodded. An orange bear walked by. He had a tool belt on, but no arms.

“’Sup! Haven’t seen you around, horse… thing… You new?” he asked. “I’m Handy.”

Rainbow had to stop herself from laughing. “I’m… *snigger* Rainbow Dash.”

Handy made a desperate attempt at a wave. He grew frustrated and made a face, grumbling “Damnit”.

“Ignore him. Ah. We’re here,” said Giggles. A tree with windows and a door stood in front of them. “Welcome to my humble abode. Now don’t go inside. I’m turning in for the night.”

“Really? It looks daylight!” argued Rainbow as Giggles walked in her house.

“Well… you know, the thing might happen,” she said quietly and peaked her head out the door.

“What does she mean?” asked Rainbow.

“She means when they all die horrible deaths,” responded Twilight plainly.

“Yeah. That,” said Giggles. A blue Palawan flying squirrel flew past at such high speeds, Giggle’s entire house was uprooted, leaving behind only her head with a spine hanging out the bottom. A door flew down and cut her head in half. Rainbow Dash threw up, again, and she and Cuddles ran in the opposite direction.

“So, *pant* we shoud *pant* get to Flaky?” asked Cuddles. Rainbow began to fly.

“You’re slow!” Rainbow pointed out. “And winded easily.” She pulled back and came to a trot. “I think we’re safe from the super-hero squirrel.”

“That’s Splendid. Super-klutz is more like it. He’s killed Giggles ten times over,” grumbled Cuddles. Rainbow made a face.

“So, where can we find Flaky?” she asked.

“Well, she’s usually cowering in her house. Or taking some class on how to stay safe. Good luck to her, it’s taught by Splendid,” Cuddles began counting on his fingers.

“Well… We should check her house. We just saw Splendid,” reasoned Twilight. Cuddles cupped a hand over the bottom of his giant ears.

“Could you turn that up? I can barely hear him!” he squinted.

“That’s a her, and it’s so loud it’s hurting my ears. Sorry,” Rainbow explained. Cuddles squinted.

“Sorry, lady.”

“S’alright. Crappy sound quality.”

“Alright, here we are!”

“Flaky’s house?”

“What’d she say?”

“She said Flaky’s house,” responded Rainbow.

“Oh yes, that’s… here!” he said and pointed to a regular house. He went up and knocked on the door. “It’s me. Cuddles. And I have a friend.”

“Give him the ear device,” whispered Twilight. Cuddles turned around.

“What’s she saying now?” he asked. Rainbow held out the transmitter in her hoof.

“To give you this. You put it your ear,” she said. He nodded and stuck it in the bottom of his ear.

“Testing. Do you read?” came Twilight over the line. Cuddles nodded.

“Got it. Okay, you are obviously a woman. I feel bad,” he said and shook his head.

“H-he-hello?” asked Flaky as she peaked her head around the door. She saw Rainbow Dash and rushed back into the house with a loud “AACK!”

“Flaky!” whined Cuddles and sighed. “Get out here.”

“Wh-what do you want?” she asked.

“Your help,” said Rainbow, trying to be caring. “C’mon, please, we need you.”

Flaky laughed nervously. “Yeah right, that’s what Flippy said!”

“That’s that military bear we saw earlier,” said Twilight.

“She really does! Us dying makes her throw up, I hardly think…” Cuddles shook his head and peaked his head inside

“You get nauseous too?” Flaky asked and opened the door all the way.

“Flaky, I’m Rainbow Dash,” greeted Rainbow and stuck out her hoof. “Shake it.”

Flaky did and said. “What do you want my help with?”

Rainbow handed her the transmitter. “Twilight’ll tell you. Put this in your ear, like Cuddles.”

“Splendid says…” Flaky began.

“Splendid is an idiot! You have to hear this,” demanded Cuddles.

“I-if you insist…” said Flaky and stuck the transmitter in her ear. Cuddles nodded. “I’m in.”

A sizzling came over the transmitter.

“Alright. Hi, my name’s Twilight, I will be your leader, per se. I’ve been watching yours and many other worlds for many a week now. Our mission? To explore each to assemble a team against an upcoming evil I fear may be our fault. Er… my fault. Any questions?” Twilight explained.

“Er, yeah… What upcoming evil?” asked Cuddles.

“All I can tell you now is that it’s a villain from each of our worlds, coming together to, well, take over each other’s mutual dimensions.”

“Wh-what? Um- er, I heard about get-getting back… Is it dangerous?” asked Flaky.

“Naw!” assured Rainbow. A flash of light filled the trio’s vision, and they awoke in Twilight’s library.
