Chapter 1
The Artifact
Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash are the bestest of friends. They know each other very well ever since they were little foals. They met when Fluttershy was getting bullied by the other pegasi back at flight school. Rainbow Dash came to Fluttershy's rescue and fend off the bullies and she did it by challenging them to a race. She challenge them to race so she can defend Fluttershy's honor. So she race the bullies not knowing she accidently cause Fluttershy to fall off while she was starting their race, however on that day when Rainbow Dash did her first Sonic Rainboom, it caused Fluttershy to realize her destiny including herself. It also cause thier other four best friends to realize thier destinies too. Since then the two pegasus had more friends then ever. They were happy with all the times they spent with each other from battling Nightmare Moon to free Princess Celistia's younger sister, Princess Luna to going to going to the Equestia Games . Their friendship and bonds grew for each trial and experence they face together.
On one beautiful and sunny day in Equestia, a certain cyan pegasus was doing her daily weather duties. She was clearing some clouds, so everypony can enjoy the nice day. Rainbow Dash was flying though each cloud in the air. Clearing them as she would quote it, " In ten seconds flat". Soon she just cleared the last of the clouds.
" Ah yeah". she said proudly. " The skies are clear once again for another day from yours truly". she said although she was alone. "Muh". Then she flew off to meet with her best friend, Fluttershy.
She came infront of the cottage of her friend and she knock on the door. Then she heard a voice from inside. " Who is it?" asked the shy pegasus from the inside.
" It's me Fluttershy". responed the tomboyish pegasus. " Rainbow Dash".
" Oh hello Dashie come on in."
So Rainbow Dash entered the cottage to find Fluttershy in the kitchen making tea.
" Hi Rainbow Dash do you want some herbal tea"? she asked kindly.
" Mm why not." she responed. " Besides I just came from my daily weather duties."
" Ok let me just make some more tea." " No Shy how about I make my cup while you enjoy cup of tea ok?" "Um I won't mind making another cup for-" " Please Fluttershy trust me. Just enjoy your cup ok." " Um ok Rainbow just don't make a mess." " Alright Fluttershy I'll not making a mess. I promise." And so Rainbow Dash went into the kitchen leaving Fluttershy in her living room with her cup of tea.
Ten minutes later, she came back with her cup of tea.
" There you go Futtershy I finish my cup of tea with no problem at all." she said in pride.
" Um well I heard lots of noises from the kitchen. Was there some problems while you were in the kitchen?" she said with care.
" Well okay I may have broken a few things." she said with a nervous smile on her face. Then they heard something crash in the kitchen. " Okay a couple more things broken, but don't worry I promise to pay for the things I've break."
" Oh it's alright I can always buy some more on my own when I go into town. You don't have to pay for them."
" No I insist I'll pay for them." " Um it's alright you did enough already." " Well suite yourself then." Rainbow Dash then came over to the couch where Fluttershy was and sit next to her.
" So how's your day Flutters?" she asked. " Well it's alright I picked up some groceries from the market stands in the morning. At least nothing crazy happend like last week." she replied remebering what had happend last week when she tried to pick up the supplies for her animal friends and herself.
" Yeah you told me that it was crazy that day. " she said. " But on the bright side you had some nice moments while you were there right?" " Oh yes at least I enjoyed myself there." Rainbow remembered that Fluttershy told about the events that happend that day, but unknown to Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash was actually watching her on that day.
She was originally gonna invite Fluttershy over to her house to hang with her on her day off from her weather job, but when Rainbow came over to her cottage on the morning of that day, she wasn't home. So she decide to go to the market and get some supplies for her house. While she was there, Rainbow was walking around when suddenly she heard a crash and she went to investigate. When she came to the source of the crash, she saw from the distance Fluttershy, the CMC, Banana Bliss, and a wrecked stand. She watch from the distanct. When Fluttershy left, Rainbow Dash decided to keep an eye on her while she was out buying things. From each thing that happend to Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash watched feeling bad for her bestest friend, although she found some of the things funny. For the entire day she watched her while she was out in the market. When she watched the last thing that happend to her with Carrot Top and her carrot stand, she could see her friend sad. She was about to go fly to her to cheer her up when she found herself in front of a stand with lamps that had Discord on them.
" Well well well who did I find here at a place like this." said a voice that Rainbow Dash knew very well of.
" Discord." she said identifying the voice. As she said the name, Discord teleported in front of her.
" Well Rainbow what are you doing here if don't mind me asking?" he said. " I have no time to deal with your crazy antics Discord." she said in a very annoyed tone.
" My what put you in a grumpy mood?" he said in a fake hurt tone. " Does it involve our great friend Fluttershy?"
" Wait how do you know what was I thinking of?" " Your not the only one who was "spying" on her."
" Hey I wasn't spying on her I was watching her over from the distance making sure nothing bad happens to her."
" Uh huh and you call this part nothibg bad happening to her." Discord then proof up a tv screen showing the part where Rainbow Dash was laughing at Fluttershy who was transform into Trixie. " Okay I may have laugh every part that was funny, but I really care about her."
"Alright I also admitted that those were funny too. "
"Alright this is getting us no where. "
" For once I agree with you." " Anyways what are you doing here." Rainbow Dash questioned. " Well your most loving ruler Princess Celistia is on my back and she wanted me to get some kind of job to pay for that cave home that's near Canterlot." Discord replied as he sold his lamps to diffrent ponies while still looking at Rainbow Dash.
" Wait wait hold on. You live in a cave near Canterlot?"
" Yes I live in a cave near Canterlot. I did some remodeling there. You should come over sometimes."
" Yeaaahh no."
" Well suite yourself then besides I have a hot tub there. Anyways so I was thinking what job should I get and what better way to get a job is as a lamp seller. Want one?"
" No thank you."
" Well fine then anyways what should we do with our friend Fluttershy?"
" Well I was thinking of having a talk with Fluttershy to make her feel better and stuff."
" Mmmm of course that's the obvious thing to do, but what the heck let's do it on two occasions."
" Ugh what are they?"
" Number one: I want to do it."
" How do you know about cheering up a friend since you never had one?"
" My I'm hurt can't the god of chaos give it a shot for our friend?"
" Well fine then what's the second occasion?"
" The second occasion is to help me sell these fine looking lamps for the day."
" What really?"
" Yes."
Rainbow Dash was about to interject, but she wanted to make sure nothing bad happens to her friend and so with a sigh she replied.
" Fine."
"Good then now hide because I could see her coming." And so Rainbow Dash hid under the to await Discords actions of cheering Fluttershy up.
After Rainbow finish remembering that day, she continued to talk to Fluttershy.
" So anything else you did today?" she asked.
" Um well-"
And so the two pegasus continue to have a conversation until Rainbow Dash looked at the talk.
" So Fluttershy later I was thinking of going over to Twilight's to check out the new Daring Doo book, " Daring Doo and the Secrets of the Sky Temple", and I was wondering if you want to come with me to go check it out." she asked.
" Umm well okay." she responed kindly. " Besides I want to go see if Twilight has some books that I can enjoy reading."
" Then it's settle then let's go." So after Fluttershy cleaned the mess that Rainbow Dash caused while she was making her own tea and Rainbow Dash washed the cups for her, they left the cottage and they made their way to Twilight's library tree home at the Golden Oaks Library ( or to others her treebrary ) .
The two pegasus made their way to the library. When they got to Twilight's library, they found a note on the door and a box on the door mat.
" Oh my I wonder what the note say."
" Well let me see." Rainbow took the note off of the door and began to read the note on the door first.
" Dear friends,
I will be in Canterlot for the week for my monthly lessons on being a princess. I took Spike and Owlowiscious along with me for company. I will be back at the end of the week soon.
From your good friend, Twilight."
" Well it looks like Twilight is going to be in Canterlot for the week." Rainbow said in disappointment.
" And I was so hyped up to read the next Daring Doo book."
" Oh don't worry Dashie. The note says that she will be back in a week." Fluttershy told Rainbow. " Besides it looks like there's something for Twilight."
She pointed at the box and Rainbow looked at it. She was curious about the package and she wanted to know what was in it.
" Hey Shy how about we watch over this package for Twilight when she comes back?" she asked hesitantly.
"Um well okay ." she replied unwilling. " But where are we gonna take it? "
" How about my place." she replied.
" Why do you want to take Twilight's package to your house?" questioned the butter yellow pegasus.
" Well you could be very busy taking care for your animals and stuff and I'm not that busy with the weather duty so why not me?" she lied. Rainbow really wanted to know what was really inside the package. " Ok." she responed doubtfully.
So Rainbow picked the package with Fluttershy behind him, they flew up to Rainbow Dash's house.
They came in front of the cyan pegasus' house. She opened the door and walked in. Rainbow put the package on her cloud table in her living room and got some scissors.
" Um Rainbow what are you doing with that?" Fluttershy asked.
" Well Flutters are you curious about what's inside Twilight's package?" Rainbow Dash questioned.
" Um well yes but it's not a nice to go through somepony elses mail." Fluttershy replied feeling uncertain of her friend's actions.
" Don't worry Fluttershy." the cyan pegasus reassured " It's just a quick look at it and then we can put it back into the box like it never happens ok."
" Um well-"
" Trust me." And so with that Rainbow used the scissors to opened up the package and in that package was a note, an inscription, and an statue of an mystic looking owl with rubies for the eyes. The two pegasus were confuse. Then Rainbow picked up the note and began to read.
" Dear Miss Sparkle,
Your probably wondering why I brought this artifact to you. Well my associates at a museum in Manehatten decided to take a vacation for the week. So I thought of delivering this to you to look after the artifact while they are away. I can't watch over it because I'm afraid that my enemies will go after the artifact. They wouldn't thought of going after you with you being an alicorn and all. I will be back next week, so in the meantime take good care of the artifact for me.
From yours truly, A.K. Yearling
After Rainbow finishing reading the note, she squeal like any other fangirl would as she can not believe who delivered the package to Twilight.
" I can't beleive that A.K. Yearling who is also Daring Doo delivered this artifact to Twilight and Twilight just left without expecting a package from the author of her own adventures." she said excitdly. " This is awesome."
"Well either that or the author of this fanfic has to have a reason to go along with this story." Fluttershy said quietly to herself as she broked the fourth wall. " But um don't you think we should close up the package?" she said nervously.
" Come on Flutters how about we read what the inscription says?" she reassured again.
" Um I don't think it's a good idea." she said cautiously.
" Come on please Fluttershy after we read the inscription, then we can put the things back into the box okay? "
Fluttershy was about to interject, but she could see that Rainbow was very excited about this and she didn't want to make her friend feel sad.
" 'sigh' Okay Dash, but after we read the inscription, then we put the things back into the box."
" Yes thank you thank you Flutters." Rainbow Dash cheered as she hugged the shy pegasus. " Now let's read this inscription. Besides it's not like nothing bad gonna happen right."
" I think she might've jinx it." the butter-yellow pegasus said quietly to the readers. And so the two friends began to read.
Those who wish to grew the bonds of each other, watch the eyes of the creature of the night and have your perspectives change until the time your bonds has grown. Then you will be in your trueselves. If you fail your task of the bonding by the end of the week, then you are doom to be the others perspective forever.
After they finish reading the inscription, they heard a humming sound and they turned their attention to the owl statue which the ruby eyes began to glow. The gem eyes then fired two separate beams at the two pegasus as they fly across the room. They hit the fluffy cloud walls of the room as the the statue's stopped glowing. They picked themselves as Rainbow Dash winced a little.
" Oww." cried out Rainbow. " That hurts Fluttershy are you ok? "
" Yeah I'm ok Dash nothing very serious. Just a slight headache." she replied as she rub her forehead.
" Yeah I feel a slight headache too." She looked at the artifact. " Well that thing didn't do nothing besides firing two beams and giving us a slight headache." she said in disappointment. " I was expecting to do something awesome like give us super powers like Spikes enchanted comic that we been sucked in. "
" It's alright Rainbow. " she comforted her friend as she rubbed her forehead.
" Uh Fluttershy are you okay? Can you manage going home?" she asked with care in her voice. " I don't know I feel a bit dizzy." she responed.
" How about you spend a night here until you recover okay?" " Ok." " You can sleep in my room while I go get the extra blankets alright?"
" It's alright Dashie I could sleep down stairs you could sleep in your room."
" No I insist you can take my bedroom. I think you need it more then me." " Um alright."
So the two pegasus spend the rest of the day hanging out until Princess Celistia lowered the sun as her sister Princess Luna raised the moon. After they eat dinner, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy got ready for bed. Then Rainbow Dash walked downstairs to the living in her pajamas as Fluttershy walked into the cyan pegasus' room.
" Good night Flutters." cried out Rainbow Dash.
" Good night Dashie." cried back Fluttershy and with that she entered the bedroom while Rainbow Dash slept on her couch in her living room.
Unknown to the two pegasus, their bodies start to glow as they slept. A cyan blue energy ball came out of the speedy pegasus while a butter yellow energy ball came out of the shy pegasus. The two energy balls started to move to the different bodies of the two friends unaware that they will wake up in the morning in a different body.
