*redone* chapter 1- déjà vu
"Ahh the lake. So peaceful. So calm. So..." My voice trails off as Pinkie Pie played in the water and as my eyes slowly close, I fell asleep.
"Hey Rainbow Dash!" I awoke but I am not at the lake anymore . I'm at home, in Cloudsdale, still in bed. I looked out the window and saw the silhouette of Pinkie Pie.
"Oh hey pinkie how's it going?" I yawn as my eyes adjusted to the sun behind Pinkie. The balloons tied to either hoof are shimmering beautifully in the morning sun.
"Do you want to hang out today Rainbow Dash?"
"I would love to Pinkie but I have to look after Tank today" Pinkie Pie looked sad... for at least five seconds before returning to her original self.
"Oki doki loki" Pinkie slowly lowered herself to ground level gently humming a tune.
I turn back to my room. There isn't much really a desk with some ink and quills, with draws for holding paper, a small Bookshelf with Daring Do books and photo albums, a nice rug and finally my bed. I look towards the end of my bed expecting to see Tank. But I don't. I jump out of bed and race around the room 'How do you lose a green tortoise in a blue and white room.
I am getting worried. I rushed outside to search for anything green and small. Weaving through the crowd of pegasi, I spotted a small green object. For a minute I felt a wave of relief and flew over there but as I got closer I noticed it was a filly Pegasus sitting next to a stole.
I continue to search cloudsdale until I came to the conclusion that Tank is not here. I dashed over to Fluttershy's cottage at extreme speeds. pretty soon I arrived at the small yellow cottage and without knocking I burst through the door. "Fluttershy!" I yelled scaring all the little critters away. well all except Angel bunny.
"Um... yes rainbow dash?" she looked scared as always and Angel was gently brushing her mane.
"Have you seen a tortoise with a propeller on its back around?"
"You lost Tank!" She yelled furiously.
"I didn't lose him, he left while I was sleeping!" I yelled trying to hold back. Calming my self down, I ask my next question "Do you know why he ran?"
"No" She replied "he was normally happy bei-"
"Hey where's Angel going?" I interrupt.
"Angel comeback where are you going, ANGEL!!" Fluttershy yells, cries of anger turning into tears of sadness. A little puddle was starting to form around her and I'm starting to feel bad. But I have to find Tank.
"I'll umm... I'll let you sort things out with Angel, meanwhile I have to find Tank."
"Please don't go." she whispers, utter fear in her eyes. "She's never done this before."
"I'm sorry Fluttershy but I really have to find my little Tankie." After saying this I left the small cottage and returned to my search for the tortoise. I feel bad for just leaving Fluttershy like that but I have to find Tank "Tank where are you!" I yell, tears liquid pride forming in my eyes. 'Come on Tank where are you' I thought as I close in on the library.
I approach the town library, also known as Twilight's house and home, Twilight Sparkle the newly formed alicorn was awaiting my arrival, wings out in frustration and anger. "Rainbow Dash thank goodness your here I want to know how she keeps doing this and there is no way you are stopping me from coming" Twilight argued even though I am completely stumped on what she is saying.
"Now hold on just a minute, who keeps doing what and why?" I ask looking at her rustled wings and puzzled expression.
"You don't remember, again?" she sighs and gestures for me to come inside "I'm guessing you skipped breakfast as well."
'OK now she's starting to creep me out'
In the library I look around. I've been in this place thousands of times and yet it never stops to amaze me at how much of an egghead she is. books line the walls and a small table, for reading I assume, is in the middle of the room. I sit on one of the chairs, head on the great oak table.
"Soo let me get this straight." I say half confused half angry "Trixie's back"
"Eyep" Twilight replied not paying attention after this being the twentieth time hearing this conversation.
"and she's evil again?"
"Well by evil you mean stolen the Alicorn Amulet again then yes." she replies completely flat as she holds an apple with her magic while packing a travelling bag.
"Wait wait wait, she has the Alicorn Amulet?!"
"Yes, were you even paying attention?" she asked obviously irritated.
"Of course, I was just surprised that she had the Alicorn Amulet," I replied hoping that will ease the tension "So umm anyway do you supposedly have errr-"
"Proof?" twilight interrupted.
"Yes proof do you have any?"
"Well its not much proof but in about five seconds the mail mare Derpy Hooves will crash into the window in 3-2-1," At that moment a flash of gold and grey hit the window with letters flying everywhere. "is that proof enough?" Twilight mocked. Before I could say anything the young mare arose from the ground and burst in forgetting to knock.
"special delivery for miss Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Trash" Yelled Derpy Hooves saluting.
"It's Rainbow Dash" I reply
"Huh, must have the wrong mares than." At this moment Twilight decides to perk up.
"No, no you have the right mares don't we Rainbow TRASH!" she exclaims signalling for me to give in to 'trash'
"Sigh yep that's me Rainbow Trash." Rummaging around in her mailbag she pulled out two items. one a letter with a photo attached to it the other a muffin. Twilight places the core of her apple on a nearby table and grabs the items, we thank her and she leaves.
"I get the letter and photo but what's the muffin for?" I ask hoping Twilight and her preknowledge would help.
"Beats me I get confused each and every time and I always forget to ask anyway are you not more concerned about the letter" she replies anxious to get going.
"But what about the-"
"Forget about the muffin!" She yelled chucking the muffin out the window
'OK maybe I was out of line just a tad there' I decide to open the envelope and hand Twilight the photo
"its a ransom note." I say predicting she knows this but to my surprise Twilight's eyes widen in fear
"histories course is changing" she whispers "read the note out, loud."
" It reads Dear Rainbow Trash the Great And Powerful Trixie wishes to obtain a certain alicorn I do not care about the state she is in, as long as she is breathing and doesn't know why she is going there. Do this if you wan't to see your precious little tank again. The place is on the back of the photo" My knees are feeling weak but i don't fall instead we turn the photo of Tank over
"Where is it Twilight?" I ask
"Its in... the castle ruins in the Everfree forest!!"
Author's Note

chapter 2- I hate mirrors
We've been flying for five minutes and have made barley any progress.
"So Twilight, do you know what spell Trixie's using?" I ask in a monotone voice. She's been bugging me this whole time saying things like "Well" and "soo" and it is really starting to get on my nerves.
"No not really Rainbow Dash I mean she does have the alicorn amulet" Twilight replies, zigzagging as we flew through the air really slow.
"Don't you think we would cover more land on ground Twilight? Not that I'm saying your a bad flyer or anything but we're like fifty meters from the library," I explained as I start to descend
"Heh yeah I guess you right," we hit the ground with a soft thump, well I did, Twilight hit the ground with a loud oomph.
We past Fluttershy's cottage. She had so many posters up for a missing bunny Have you seen this little angel? well this got Twilight instantly, she ran towards the light brown door and knocked "Fluttershy are you home?" no reply. Twilight uses her magic to unlock the door and enter the brightly colored room
"Whats the matter Twilight you know about all of this," I reply, a little to casual for the worried alicorn.
"No Rainbow Dash it's happening totally different now!" she yelled, hesitant to move further into the small room. "what happened here Rainbow Dash?" she asked me.
"Well we got into a fight over me losing tank then Angel jumped out the window over there" I say as I point to the window.
"so she's in the everfree forest, great" she sighs "well we better rescue her as well," she replies with a small and quiet voice almost mimicking fluttershy's only without all the fear.
We left the cottage and head towards the everfree forest until something came out of the forest. it was like a small black blob and it was coming towards us, fast.
"Oh for Celestia sake we don't have time for a mirrorling," she groaned.
"A mirrorling? don't you mean a changling?" I ask starting to feel confused.
"No this is a mirrorling. It's like a changling only instead of just looking like you this one will mirror you" she lectures as the mirrorling starts to change shape and colour. It starts to form the legs first, the four cyan hooves are identical to mine. Then the wings and the body, the wings are covered in feathers and the body is now the right colour along with the cutie mark: a cloud with a rainbow lightning bolt. Finally the head mane and tail start to form. when it finally finishes I just stare at it, as it does at me "and it chose you, even better."
I take a step with my right leg and at the same time he takes a step with it's left. "Twilight this is starting to creep me out," I confess.
"if you want to break the mirror you have to beat it somehow, your best chance is the sonic rainboom... or flying really fast" she yelled the last bit out but I still couldn't hear her I was to far away flying faster and faster
"lets see what your made of" we said in unison. we just flew faster, faster... faster I was starting to get exhausted but I noticed it was slowing down faster then me so I decided to pick up the pace a bit, as did it but not as fast as me still. I give my hoof a small wave to see if their was a delay. Success about half a second. I decided to finish it off with a sonic rainboom, I tilt backwards and start to ascend gaining height. I continued this altitude gaining until I couldn't see the ground and then I nose dive. I stop flapping my wings to streamline picking up more and more speed. I look back to see where the mirror me was, only a few seconds behind. I approached the sound barrier and applied wing force to break past it. Colours of all sorts spread out in all directions as my speed almost triples, the mirrorling however could not break the sound barrier and started to fall to the ground while returning to its original form. I sweep underneath it to grab it and land on the ground completely exhausted.
On closer inspection it had no eyes, ears, mouth, nose or anything it was just a black blob no bigger then me. It started to take my form again but this time it wasn't mirroring me. In fact it was standing opposite to me while I just lay there on the ground. It offered its hoof out to help me up, I grab it and we started to walk and talk.
"Man your fast," it said in my voice.
"you weren't to bad yourself, but why did you do that" I asked it
"I'm the new guardian of the forest my parents died recently so I had to take over. My name is Shadowlight Rainbow Dash it is very nice to meet you,"
"wait wait wait how did you know my name"
"I can copy every detail all the way down until the special talent is revealed, the first time I mirror someone I have no choice but to copy them until I get some sort of advantage on them" It explained
"what kind of advantage?"
"like getting ahead of you but that was almost impossible from the start, when you put you hoof out at the start I did it a little bit to slow causing me to be locked in your favour" it looked down in shame.
we continued this conversation until Twilight came into sight she was busy reading a book
"Hey let's pull a prank on Twilight, I'll run behind her and all you need to do is distract her then I'll scare her got it?" he simply nods
"Hey Twilight I'm back!" he yells out
"Great, wheres the mirrorling?" she asked
"Ah he was way to slow for this way to fat pony," he replied
"Fat?" Twilight questioned
"Sorry my bad, just a typo Shadowlght was ment to say fast then the real Rainbow Dash was going to scare you," the author explained
"God darn it author!" Rainbow Dash yelled.
"Opps Sorry" the Author apologises again
"Okay Rainbow Dash lets go Trixie gets stronger by the second," she explained.
"But what about..."
"Bring him with us the more the merrier," she interrupted as we walked into the everfree forest
