Video/Action for Ponies/Backdated to 10/9

[bestofthebest]

(Rainbow Dash is in her Pegasus body, flying along without a care in the world when suddenly she hears the roar of a Charizard!)

...Blaze! Here, in Ponyville? But, how's that possible?

(She zips ahead past some clouds and sure enough, she sees what looks like a flying Charizard but when he turns around...!)

BLAST!

Blaze! With Tank's head? Okay...this has gone past weird and moved back into freaky town...

As she reaches out with a hoof to touch the flying Pokemon, a dark shadow appears to cover them up despite the fact it's not raining and it sounds like the tide's coming in!)

What the...? A SURF Attack?!

(Before Rainbow can even try to zip out of the way, the wave pulls her into it and down she goes into a whirlpool, screaming the entire way down...!)





(Rainbow's got the Gear on at this time, but her expression shows she's pretty confused and quite worried. Her confusion's more about making decisions on the cool presents Spike gave her when she picked him up and her worry is about her Pokemon. They seemed fine earlier when she checked on them, so...was it an animal thing?

Anypony else feel like you've been through something back home, and it happens to you again without realizing it?

[If this were Sigma, she'd probably try harder to make a joke, but... Really, what could she do with "already voodoo"?]

Déjà vu, actually. It's French for "already seen". So you're aware of what happened before, or is it just a feeling you have?

And what you were was a pony, huh?

[bestofthebest]

Ohhh...hehe, that's not it! Probably just a weird feeling I have.

(Explaining that she had a dream that involved her friends' pets before getting her own...would take too long.)

Yep! A flying Pegasus pony from Ponyville, but I used to live in Cloudsdale.

[surpassedjupiter]

[...It's been a long almost-week and it takes a lot of effort to not NOPE right on out. But she's just...not going to touch that topic, anymore.]

Sometimes feelings don't get the kind of credit they deserve. In my experience, you can put a lot of stock into a feeling.

[bestofthebest]

Yeah, going with your feelings can help out.

(Dash is still about going in headfirst, but she's matured somewhat. And she's gotten past whether others will believe or not, but Rainbow knows her friends believe her.)

Name's Rainbow Dash! New to Johto?

[surpassedjupiter]

[OF COURSE HER NAME IS RAINBOW DASH.]

Newer than most. [She's been here a whole two days, yay.] You can call me Phi. How long have you been here, Rainbowdash?

[bestofthebest]

(Yep! She even has the cutie mark for proof...that she's not gonna show off atm.)

Glad to meet you, Phi. Eh, I've been here for...10 months, I think. My friend Twilight usually keeps track of things like that.

[surpassedjupiter]

[You can't fool her, that's the title of a teen book.]

Is Twilight also a pony?

Do you feel that ten months is enough time to adjust to this place, or are you still having problems?

[bestofthebest]

(She grins broadly while nodding. How can you doubt her cheery face?)

Hey, yeah! Twilight's a Unicorn though.

Seriously? I got here at one of the coldest times of the year, so I adjusted after only 2-3 weeks!

(Mostly because she walked from New Bark to Violet.)

[surpassedjupiter]

[Meanwhile, Phi is really lucky she's still using text.]

I wasn't really referring to the weather.

[bestofthebest]

Hmm?

(Oh-she meant dealing with the change from being a pony into a human!)

Yeah, it took me a couple months but I've gotten used to having fingers and thumbs! At 10 months I'm used to it.
