11th Sonic Rainboom (Video/Action with Ponies/Traveling Buddies)

[bestofthebest]

(The 'Gear, which had laid dormant for some time, clicked on as Meganium had exited her Pokeball, tugged the device free and soon enough the Grass Pokemon's face was on screen. It swerved over to Rainbow Dash's bed as the multicolored-haired girl suddenly screamed, woke up and got up in disbelief.)

...Wait a second, when did I...what the hay am I wearing?!

(Rainbow was currently in a very stylish nightgown that she didn't remember having. Or wearing. At all, and she looked around at her room to see - the curtains were different, and her Pokeballs? Not piled up messily, but literally in a straight pile save for Daring's. A few quick flicks of her Vine Whip, and Blaze, Lightning, Tank, and Espeon appeared; seconds later, those Pokeballs clattered around as Dash was happily tackled! The 'Gear clicks off as the last image seen is actually one of Rainbow's Pokemon eggs, Togepi's.

Despite her joy at seeing her Pokemon again, Rainbow Dash was eyeing the slightly modified room before coming to one conclusion:)

Rarity. Only Rarity...

[What can you really say to that?]

You...look pretty stylish? There are worse ways to wake up. Trust me, I've probably experienced most of them.

[Video]

[bestofthebest]

...Ha, thanks. First time my room looks like I walked out of one of my friend's fashion shows, though.

Re: [Video]

[caster_blaster]

Oh? She some kinda' designer?

[Video]

[bestofthebest]

Yeah, she designs clothes back home in Ponyville. Sometimes she'll even make stuff for us when big events come around.

Re: [Video]

[caster_blaster]

Ah, not bad. She make any good bank off that, or what?

[friendyousohard]

Look on the bright side, Rainbow.

[Standing in her doorway with a little smirk on her face, Twilight chuckles just a little at her reaction.]

At least she kept the ruffles to a minimum.

[bestofthebest]

(Rainbow glances up at Twilight, then quickly gets up with an embarrassed expression on her face.)

Was this thing on me the entire time I was out? It was that whole coma thing you went through, right?

[friendyousohard]

Not the entire time, no. Only after the finished it and managed to wrestle you into it. And yes, it was a memory coma... at least I assume it was. You remember new things now, right?

[bestofthebest]

(Rainbow's embarrassed look? Still there, with added frown to match.)

If you're talking about when I was turned into a pony while we were here, I remember most of that. Anything back from Ponyville? Only what you and Rarity told me.

(A beat.) Wait, this is one of her new designs?

[friendyousohard]

Hey, that counts as new for you, right? [She shrugs.] I mean, it wasn't like you'd experienced it before, just heard about it from us.

I don't know if the design is new, but she did sew it just for you, and really, are you surprised? It's what she does.

[artofthestress]

[ Rarity winces at the video to see her neatly lined-up pokeballs strewn out of order (again), but hurries into the room anyway. ]

You're awake!

Careful now! You're going to get that gown of yours wrinkled!

[bestofthebest]

...Thanks for worrying about me, Rare.

(She motions to said gown with a hand as she gets up and recalls her 'Mons.) Thanks for the gift, but I don't usually wear gowns at night. (Total lack of nightgowns in Rainbow Dash's entire wardrobe, save for the one she's wearing.)

[artofthestress]

Nor did I, except on special occasions, but it seems to be a custom among some humans. Oh, go on, it makes you look positively dashing!

[bestofthebest]

(Rainbow's always up for compliments about herself, but while she's wearing a nightgown...? She's not embarrassed, not for a second!)

...But I can only pull this look off at nighttime! Nopony else but you guys would see it. Doesn't mean I'm wearing it every night, okay? Two, three nights a week.

[artofthestress]

It's more than I can give the others credit for. They can't abide wearing clothes any longer than they need to! If I can get just one of you trained...

[buckyouup]

Phew. I'm glad you're awake. D'you have any idea how hard it is t'carry you when your body just flops around like an old doll?

[That's Applejack-talk for "I'm really glad you're alright. I was worried about you."]

[bestofthebest]

Hahaha, for somepony who's used to carrying apples helping your fellow pony should be easy!

(Rainbow Dash-talk for "Thanks! I'd totally do the same for you.")

[buckyouup]

[A chuckle.]

Well next time Rarity wants somepony t'play dress-up with, you can keep yourself standin'.

[bestofthebest]

Haha, I'm sure I won't need to play dress-up with Rarity anytime soon! Maybe Pinkie Pie could volunteer.

(A beat, followed by a laugh.) Seriously? 'Old doll?' I'd be one of your awesomest dolls on the shelf!

[buckyouup]

I wasn't aware you wanted t'be a doll, Rainbow.

[Trying so hard not to stick her tongue out.]

late action

[brbmakingfriends]

[Incoming pony glomp! And maybe followed by a Jigglypuff.]

Rainbow Dash!

(Action)

[bestofthebest]

...Huh? Pinkie P-!

(Yeah, she's totally glomped. She did spend a little time with her 'Mons before recalling them, Daring the only one left about to be recalled before said glomp.)

Hi, Pinkie Pie.

(Action)

[brbmakingfriends]

[One tight hug before she finally releases her.] You were asleep for a loooong time. You have any ideas how many times I tried to wake you? A lot, that's what! [But there is a smile.] But now you're awake now.

(Action)

[bestofthebest]

Eheh, yeah. But I'm awake now, and it's 'cause you guys looked out for me! (She smiles back and returns the hug.) Thanks, Pinkie.

(A beat as she realizes she's still in the gown and: something else.) Hey, what did you do for me while I was out?

(Action)

[brbmakingfriends]

[Pinkie couldn't help but smile at that.]

Oh! I made some cupcakes. Balancing a pan with these--[Cue the wiggling fingers.] is not that hard as it looks.
