Rainbow Dash and Flaky in: Dimension Jumping
Welcome to Ponyville, Part 1: Flakyshy
Previous Chapter“Hello, Cuddles, hello, Flaky, welcome to Equestria,” greeted Twilight. Cuddles rubbed his head.
“Ma sa wa awed sa wa?” he asked.
“Do I still talk like that?” asked Rainbow. Twilight shook her head.
“Let me get that for you!” Twilight said, and her horn began to glow. The two devices in the animal’s ears glowed and made a crackling noise. “Now try.”
“I said: ‘My head hurts, bad’. You must be the voice in my head!” he looked down at his mouth, surprised. “What the fuck?!”
“You are speaking Equestrian. Out of all of the universes I have examined, yours and one other don’t speak Equestrian. One other is inhabited by a bipedal that goes by both ‘Nikolai’ and ‘Nikorai’. It is very odd. He speaks in a stranger language that the others seem to understand, and they speak Equestrian as well. Quite the oddity. I’ve only picked up one constant phrase: ‘Я пьян, как всегда!’” explained Twilight, not recognizing Cuddles’ vulgarity.
“Any familiar phrases from us?” he asked.
“Only one. That would be: ‘Auf deutsch heilig ficken!’”
“No one has ever said that,” argued Cuddles.
“Out of all of the universes I have examined, yours and two others don’t speak Equestrian,” Twilight corrected herself. “Only one familiar phrase, and that’s ‘Mama mowee.’”
“That… would be ‘I want it.’” said Cuddles
“Hmm…”
“Don’t worry. What about Flaky?” asked Rainbow. “She is still asleep!”
“I’ll get her,” moaned Cuddles and prodded her. “Wakey, wakey, saoespa!”
“What’s say-oh-ee-spa?” asked Twilight. She was taking notes.
“Sleepy head…” responded Cuddles and squinted.
“But it’s Saturday…” mumbled Flaky and shifted.
“It’s Monday. Now get up,” said Cuddles gently and tried to help her to her feet. “C’mon!”
“Mmm… ram sah… GAH!” Flaky sat up abruptly and broke into a heavy sweat. She looked over at the two ponies and miraculously clung to a rafter. “WH-WHO ARE YOU??? WH- oh…”
Rainbow Dash gave her a look. “Get down from there.”
“S-sorry… night terrors… and occasional ligyrophobia… and altophbia-a-AH-HAAA!!!” Flaky stuttered and fell. Rainbow caught her. “A-a-and basiphobia…”
“But we didn’t make a loud noise,” Twilight said, confused. Cuddles and Rainbow gave her an odd look. “Ligyrophobia is the fear of loud noises.”
“Oh, b-but you d-d-did! A loud ‘CRRAKAKSZZZCK’ from the headphones. Or… phone, I guess, there’s only one…”
“Headphone?”
“Yeah. Th-this thing.” Flaky tapped the transmitter. “It’s in your head, and it’s produces noise, so it’s a phone.”
“Wait…”
“Y-yes?”
“What kind of technology is this?”
“Well, what k-kind of battery d-do you use?”
“Battery? I’m a pacifist.”
“No… like… energy source…”
“Magic.”
“Magic? Th-there’s no su-such thing as magic!”
“Sure there is! I’m a talented magician myself!”
“AAAAH!”
“What?”
“I have wiccaphobia!”
“Celestia banish it! How many freaking phobias do you have?”
“152, but that’s beyond the point!”
“I’d say not!”
“Guys?” interrupted Rainbow Dash. “We need to move on.”
“Alright… now, I’ve decided over watching you that… well, I was counting on Sniffles and Russell…” began Twilight
“What? I thought you needed us!” protested Cuddles.
“I never said she did. I said I did,” corrected Rainbow. That was not exactly true, but she did like these two. “I decided for you two to be here with us!”
“Um…” Flaky said. “Will we have jobs?”
“Of course! I believe that Cuddles would be best here, and you go with Rainbow Dash!”
“WHAT?!”
“Yes. I believe you are best fit to go thru each dimensional portal!”
“I have technophobia, and athazagoraphobia…”
“Hey… I know that one, I have it. Don’t worry, Flaky, I won’t forget you!” whispered Rainbow. “But don’t tell anypony, I’m supposed to be fearless.”
“Okay…” said Flaky. “Won’t w-worry ab-about that… But…”
“You won’t be going fast!” assured Twilight. “We just need some certain things.”
“Okay… Fine, f-fine… I’ll do it!” decided Flaky and perked up.
“She prone to peer pressure. Decidophobia,” said Cuddles.
Flaky and Rainbow Dash were walking down an old trail to a cottage at the end of the woods. Flaky began to look very nervous.
“What’s wrong?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“Hylophobia,” Flaky said slowly. “It only took one camping trip…”
“Fear of…” squinted Rainbow.
“Forests,” Flaky cowered.
“She does too!” assured Rainbow. “Don’t you worry. That forest… it is kind of… freaky. That’s the Everfree. The critters are uncared for… creepy crawlies everywhere… and the clouds move… ON THEIR OWN!”
“Th-that’s no-not so bad… I got over my herpetophobia mon-months ago! And what’s so ba-bad about cl-clouds moving on the-their own?”
“You live in a sick, twisted world.”
“Te-tell me about it!”
Rainbow knocked on the door. A loud “eep” and some clanging was heard in the background. A white bunny opened the door, stomping it’s foot.
“Hey, Angel, can we talk to Fluttershy?” asked Rainbow. Angel Bunny rolled his eyes and dragged her to the door.
“Oh… Rainbow Dash, so nice to see you! I was worried about a stranger coming to my door…”
“Yeah, you’re afraid of strangers coming by your door. We heard. Now… Come with me, Twilight and I have something to tell you…”
“Oh! What a cute porcupine!” exclaimed Fluttershy and picked up Flaky. Flaky began to scream. “What’s wrong, little one?”
“Altophbia! Altophbia!” she screamed. Fluttershy nearly dropped her.
“Aah! You can talk!” Fluttershy screamed back. They both went into screaming fits. Angel Bunny slapped them both.
“Thank you. I… got carried away…” said Fluttershy and Flaky in unison.
“Alright… Guys? Let’s get the rest of the six…” suggested Rainbow.
“Alright,” Fluttershy and Flaky nodded.
