Another Dimension
Chapter 1
AN: BEFORE YOU READ DIS, please read part 1, accessible from my profile. If you dont want to read about the unicorns, just read the first two chapters. OKAY, so new story, featuring the pegasi. Fun fact: St catherine's is real, and part of the ORA program, which is whereI studied two summers in a row. This story is rated T because of Rainbow Dash and her personality. enjoy and review, because i like it when you do that.
"Pegasi, you're next!"
"Eep!" Fluttershy squeaked and she hid behind Rainbow Dash. They watched as their unicorn friends disappeared into the light, and could hear the faintest screams of pain.
Rainbow sighed. "Fluttershy, come on. It's our duty!"
Fluttershy shook her head. "Please don't make me!"
Celestia kneeled down. "Fluttershy, look at me. Look at me!"
Fluttershy peeked behind her mane. She met the princess's eyes.
"Do this for me, for your friends, and Equestria," she said, getting back up.
Tears welled up in Fluttershy's teal eyes. "Okay."
Rainbow and Fluttershy walked up to the mirror, the blue gleam pulsating. Rainbow went first, putting one hoof inside, testing it. Unfortunately, the portal sucked her in before she could say anything. Fluttershy screamed, but somepony silenced her by pushing her inside. The pegasi whirled and twirled, their bodies changing into human bodies, their hooves turning into hands, their tails disappearing.
The pain was intense, the situation was intense, and the light was intense. It was too much for Fluttershy, who started screaming at the top of her lungs.
"Fluttershy! Shut the hay up!" Rainbow cursed as she gritted her teeth against the pain.
Suddenly, an array of light shone, a beautiful rainbow appeared, and all was dark.
Bang!
Rainbow groaned, her body aching. She opened her eyes and sat up. Immediately, she felt her back for her wings. They were gone.
"Fluttershy," she whispered. She found her friend lying face first on the grassy patch they fell on. Fluttershy's hair covered half her head. Rainbow lightly stroked it. It was still the same – silky smooth, soft as a cloud, and a light bubblegum pink. She touched her own hair. It was as unruly and chaotic as ever. She self-consciously smoothed it down, tucking a few strands behind her ears. She felt her ears, marveling at the curves and delicate bones. She continued examining the rest of her face, until she heard Fluttershy stir.
"Rainbow?" she whispered, her eyes slightly puffy and red. Tears began to fall as she clutched Rainbow and hugged her hard. "Oh Rainbow, I'm so scared!"
Rainbow patted her on the back. "Come on, try to get up."
Fluttershy wiped her tears away, and gasped as she saw her hands. Rainbow watched as Fluttershy realized she was no longer a pony…but a human.
Rainbow put her new arms under Fluttershy's armpits, and heaved her up. Soon, they were both sitting on their knees. Rainbow was the first to try to stand, her legs a bit shaky, but after a few steps, she could walk, hop and even run a little. Fluttershy tried as well, but she was just as uncoordinated as she was when she was a little foal.
Fluttershy plucked at her clothes. She had on a butter yellow sweater, pale blue jeans with a pink butterfly on the pocket, and camel colored boots. The jeans were tucked into her boots.
Rainbow glanced down, and noted what she was wearing. She was clad in a light blue tank top, covered by a dark blue hooded jacket with her cutie mark on the back. She also wore a pair of light blue track pants with white sneakers.
"I feel…weird," Rainbow said, testing out her voice. "Like I'm not me anymore."
"Well, I guess we aren't us anymore," said Fluttershy. "But still us."
"What?"
"Never mind. What's this?" Fluttershy bent down and reached for her saddlebag. "There's paper inside," she said. She took out a form:
Name: Emilé Melody Fluttershy
Age: 18 years old
Occupation: Student at St. Catherine's
Rainbow quickly grabbed her bag as well and found the form which stated her name, age, and occupation as well:
Name: Jennifer Rainbow Dash
Age: 18 years old
Occupation: Student at St. Catherine's
"What the hay is this?" exploded Rainbow.
"Rainbow, please, language," said Fluttershy.
"Ugh!" Rainbow cried out in frustration. "I don't want to go to some school!"
Fluttershy sighed. "Where are we?"
Rainbow calmed down a little. "I don't know. Do I look like I know? Because I don't!"
So it was up to Fluttershy to figure out where they were. She took in her surroundings. They were in a large grassy field. In front of them was a large modern looking building, There was a sign at the far end, and when Fluttershy squinted, she could make out the words, 'St. Catherine's.
"I think we have to go over there," said Fluttershy, pointing to the building.
Rainbow stopped muttering and looked towards the college. "Fine," she shrugged.
They made off, walking towards the entrance, saddlebags in tow. When they arrived at the front gates, they stopped. Rainbow set out first, opening the gates. They walked along, and opened the door to the lobby. Fluttershy took one last look at the sky and followed Rainbow inside.
It was warm and brightly lit, and it smelled like pinecones. An elderly man sat behind the desk, a pair of thick glasses perched on his nose. "Can I help you?" he said, smiling at the girls.
Fluttershy and Rainbow looked at each other, before silently deciding it was better if Fluttershy spoke.
"Yes. My name is…" A quick glance at the form helped her out. "Emilé Melody Fluttershy, and this is…Jennifer Rainbow Dash. Um… I think we're new students here. Could you mind checking? If that's alright with you."
The old man's smile grew wider. She was just so sweet and shy… "I'll check now," he said. Anything to make that beautiful girl happy…
As he typed on the computer, Fluttershy and Rainbow took the time to memorize their human names. The man coughed, and the girls turned their attention to him.
"Emilé and Jennifer?" He repeated their names.
They nodded.
"Yes, your names are here," he said. He shuffled towards a cabinet and removed two keys off a hook. He then pulled two thick folders from underneath his desk and gave them to the right person. He handed them the keys as well. "If you'd follow me, I will lead you to your rooms. Your bags are already up, delivered by a woman."
"What did this woman look like?" asked Rainbow.
The man stopped, his eyes misting over. "She had the most beautiful hair. It was pink and green and blue…and even though there was no wind, it still waved."
