Partial Possession: Rainbow Dash chapter 6

>Before you can get to the door, Rainbow stops you. "Whoa whoa whoa! We are NOT walking out there again!"
>She facehoofs. "I feel stupid enough going through town once like this. Maybe they'll think it's not me?"
"Yeah, without the mane and colors you all look exactly the same."
>You point to Fluttershy.
"'Cept her. Can't tell why."
>Fluttershy proudly fans her wings, but Rainbow is only momentarily distracted
>"No no no, blue fur, magenta eyes..."
"I'm going to be honest, Dash. Your actual identity is just the rainbow. No one knew."
>"Wh-people know me! I talk to people every day!"
"Yeah, but all they hear is 'I mash muffs, I mash muffs.'"
>She starts to laugh, and you cover her mouth just in time
>"Alright, seriously, no, don't. I don't want my reputation completely ruined."
>Rarity stepped in, carrying some geometric monstrocity of a gem. She caught a brief glimpse of you and stopped
>She was desperately keeping a polite smile on her face. You're not sure if she wanted to laugh or scream in terror.
>"H-hello Fluttershy! Who, um, who's this?"
"Hahaha! I told ya, Dash!"
>The laughter racks your body again, but the immediate pain in your sides causes you to flinch and stop
>You're still snickering under your breath, though. Rainbow looked at the floor.
>"I don't know whether to feel insulted or relieved."
>Fluttershy cleared her throat again. "It's Anon and Rainbow Dash."
>Rarity heaved a sigh. "Poison joke again?"
>Both you and Fluttershy nod.
"Hey, you wouldn't have some sort of disguisy spells that would make me look not plague-ridden would you?"
>She wondered for a moment. "Let me drop this off for Twilight while I think."
>She left for the lab, and you were in the silence again, save the occasional gasp for breath between silent chuckles.
>You feel painfully bored immedietly.
"So...aren't you guys being super racist when you call me an asshole?"



>Fluttershy began to speak, when Rarity exited. "Alright, Rainbow Dash, I believe I have something. What would you like to look like?"
"Alicorn, black fur, neon green stripes, red eyes."
>Her mouth dropped open. "That's...the worst idea I've...Neon? What's--"
"Fuck it, just make me brown."
>"Right, right."
>Her horn glowed for a moment, and a few seconds of intense itching later, you look back into the mirror.
>Tanned fur that fits with the hyena motif. Looks nice, you suppose, but doesn't really fit on a pony's body.
>Especially not a pegasus. Rainbow snorted and crossed her arms, unable to stop smiling. "I look like a freak because of you, Anon."
>The fashionista raised her nose. "Humph. I think it looks fine. A competent aesthetic."
>"Yeah, well I miss my rainbow!"
"I miss the 2 seconds I was inside the jar! The jar was comfy and had the promise of hands."
>Both of you huff and slump over.
>Rarity waits for a moment, and pats you on the shoulder. "It should last for about an hour and a half. It's the best I can do."
>"Nah, it's alright Rares. Thanks."
>She merely nods, and walks to the exit. "Anytime, Rainbow."
"So, let's go out and laugh at people."
>Dash sighed. "Look, I'd rather just not attract attention, and keep on the downlow. We could just wait here an--"
>Twilight pokes her head out the lab door. "I can't concentrate! Go out and do something. In a hour or two I should have the cure ready."
>Rainbow whined and rolled onto her side on the couch. "But it's embarassing!"
>"Well, control yourself and it will be fine! Just pretend to be someone else for a day, it will be a fun experiment."
>Eventually you're herded out of the house, and the door closes behind you.
>Your ever-present grin dampens a little as Rainbow lets it sink in. Fluttershy gives her a sympathetic expression
>"We could stay at your house, if you want."
>Rainbow shook her head. "Nah, Rarity went out of her way to make this spell for me. Might as well use it.



>She regained a bit of her confident posture. "Besides, it actually does kind of sound nice to be someone else for a while."
"I want the record to show I started this new sensation."
>You looked to Flutters for confirmation, only to hear her say "Well, I think the changelings kind of did that first."
>Son of a bitch. You'll never get minor street cred now.
>Dash immedietly stops. "Wait! Cutiemark!" She looks behind. One is completely covered by a spot
>Looking back, the other is mostly covered, with only the end of the rainbow poking out
"If you're done staring at your assets, we need a name."
>Dash clicked her tongue and looked up. "Wisecrack?"
"Jive Lark."
>"Jest mcChortle."
"Cacklejack."
>She quickly covers her mouth, the giggle not escaping your throat. "Alright, Cacklejack it is."
>Fluttershy laughed lightly. You get carried away, looking at her for too long, until she blushes and averts eyecontact
>You can feel Rainbow questioning in the back of your mind, and try to shove her out
>Eventually she stops, and you're back in the thick of town.
>Some ponies continue giving you odd looks, but they seem almost more at peace, now that you're not laughing to death
>It actually appears most of them didn't take her as Dash, and the smile you have seems to put them to rest
>At least at first glance, that is. If you look at them too long, they seem to get on edge
>From your reflection in various windows, you can tell your grin looks a bit more "predatory" than "friendly"
>Dash is silently contemplating how she wants to play this out. After all, she has a free license to be anyone
>After all you put her through, you feel she kinda deserves to choose.
>Eventually, you sit on a bench and let her think it out.
>Before much thinking actually gets done, a pegasus descends next to you both



>"Hey! Fluttershy, have you seen Dash today? She hasn't shown up for work."
>Fluttershy starts stuttering, looking from side to side. "W-well, she um, I haven't--"
>Rainbow takes control. "Saw 'er flyin' ta the everfree earlier!"
>You can't stop yourself from exploding with a strained laugh at the painfully forced accent
>The pegasus hovers for a moment, before unassuredly waving and taking off. "Thanks."
>The laughing continues, although you manage to quiet it, till eventually the burning makes it stop
>Fluttershy embarassedly glances around, trying to avoid weird looks.
"Flutters, you don't have to stick around."
>Rainbow nods. "Yeah, I know this is making you uncomfortable."
>"Oh, not at all!" She slides closer. "I'll stick by your side! You are my best friends."
>You feel pride swelling in your chest, and a similar reaction from Rainbow. "Thanks, 'Shy."
>She smiles and leans her head on you. You feel your smile soften considerably, and close your eyes, letting the moment sink in.
>After some time, (Though not enough,) Rainbow decides to get up. "C'mon, let's get breakfast."
>She giggles. "At this point, it's lunch."
>"Bah, same thing as far as I'm concerned."
"Amen to that."
>"What?"
>Before you can answer, you nearly fall over as someone bumps into you. You gain your bearings and look up
>Before Rainbow can even confront her, your eyesight is covered in pink
>"Ohmygosh ohmygosh a new pony in town! Hi, my name is Pinkie Pie!"
>Rainbow pauses and looks from side to side. You feel your smile twitching nervously
"Oi, wot's up?"
>You're even worse at this accent than Rainbow.
>"Tell me your name, Silly! And introduce me to your friend here!"
>Fluttershy sighed. "I've known you for 6 years, Pinkie."
>"Right! Heheh, sometimes I forget."
'Come on Rainbow, say something'
>She doesn't. You grin wider, exposing un-ponylike fangs
"Moy name iz Cacklejack! Pleased ta meet ya!"




>You feel stupid
>You usually feel like that, but like, now it's REALLY stupid
>A bunch of standerbys seemed to be staring at you, even though logically you knew they probably weren't
>Rainbow definitely thought so, however, and refused to give up the charade while they had a chance to hear
>You chuckle nervously, looking from side to side
>Anything to avoid that adorable bright-eyed optimism that fucking pink nightmare has
>"I have a friend named Applejack, any relation?"
"Nah mate, 'avent a farmer in moy family."
>She grabs your hoof and shakes it. "Okay! How long'll ya be staying? I could throw a party for you!"
>Your chuckle becomes upgraded to a chortle, and you shake your head. "Not long, mate. Oi'll jast be stickin' around for a bit."
>"Aww! Well, I'm sure Fluttershy can show you around! See you, Cacklejack!"
>She walks by Fluttershy and whispers something in her ear, before bouncing off down the road.
>Rainbow heaved a sigh of relief. "Luna's nutsack I swear I was about to crack."
>Ew.
"What'd Pinkie say?"
>Fluttershy moved her hoof in a circle, thinking of the words to say. "She uh...she told me your smile wasn't 'right.'"
>You nodded, and she continued. "And how, um...She'll be keeping an eye on you."
"Reasonable."
>As Rainbow's nervousness builds, the laughter hightens in pitch and rate
>"R-Rainbow, please control yourself.."
>The chittering giggles continued, and you were suddenly turned around and carted back towards the town outskirts
>"Nope, nope, going back home, Rarity's disguise was too good. If Applejack finds out I'm fucked."
>"Rainbow Dash! Stop panicking!"
>You try to stop, and in the fight for control you trip over yourself onto the ground
"You really are going overboard Dash. Your rep isn't that important."
>"I'm in like five lies right now! I could lose my job, or worse, get a lecture!"
>She gasped. "I could get a lecture from Cloudkicker, Pinkie, AND Applejack!"
"FUCK, run, run you stupid cunt!"




>Before you get far, you feel a tug at your tail pulling you back, and look back to see Fluttershy's stern face
>"Dash! You are overreacting. Everyone's trying to be nice to you."
"Stalking isn't very nice. I should know."
>
>Your laughter resumes, slightly less nervous
"Don't worry, I didn't watch ALL of you in the shower. Multiple times."
>More cackling and otherwise silence, until eventually Roseluck approaches you.
>"Excuse me, Fluttershy, miss. But you're...well, frankly scaring customers off."
'How many people buy flowers a day for your business to actually fucking matter?'
>Rainbow stifled as much as she could, but the chuckles continued. "Roight, sorry mate."
>You cracked up again. She sounded like she had many cocks in her mouth, as opposed to the normal all-purpose cockmouth she normally had
>Roseluck seemed very uncomfortable, and walked back to her stand, as you and Flutters kept moving
>You felt your wings flare, and started to take off. Before you get far, you hear a excited gasp. "Excuse me! Excuse me, miss!"
>You drop back to the ground, and Fluttershy points you to the origin of the voice, a small orange filly. On a scooter.
>'Fuck.'
>You hear Rainbow's subconscious grind to a screeching halt
>"Um, I'm sorry if this is rude to ask, but why don't you have a cutie mark?"
>Dash grinned. "Aha! Hah, haha, um, Ya see kid, I, uh..."
>You figure it's time to step in before Rainbow has a meltdown
"Hyena-ponies don't get cutie marks."
>Scootaloo's large eyes widened. "Oooh. Cool!" You nod, and she gets back on the scooter. "Thanks, lady!"
>Wow that was fucking easy. Dash seems like a huge pussy now.
>"You're not the one who was put in the position of lying to two of the most important people in your life!"
"That's cause I'm in the ephemeral plane, bitch! They all gone!"
>The laughter, even the smile, came to a halt for a moment as Rainbow winced. "I'm sorry, Anon."



>You tried to put on a smirk, and it came easily enough to turn into a full blown grin, with the help of poison joke.
"You don't have to worry, Dash. I can take a hit."
>"Yeah, but that kind of stuff...not cool."
>Dash sat down, and Fluttershy put her arm around your shoulders, trying to give a reassuring squeeze
>Fucking adorable. You lean in and place your snout under hers.
>In the silence, you can hear a giddy not-so-quiet whisper between two ponies behind you. "Aww, cuuute, Fluttershy got a date!"
>You turn around to the voice
"Just cause we fuck doesn't mean we're dating."
>Lyra coughs up her drink and Bonbon jumps. Your laughter returns, full and loud, and Fluttershy jumps up to her hooves
>"Anon! Don't go saying things like that! That's not a good joke."
"Hahaha! Baby, we both know it aint no joke. Hahaha!"
>You take off, and with the muscle memory and observation you've accrued, you manage to fly fairly well
>Fluttershy hurriedly takes off after you, and you both swirl around in the air, lazily making your way to Dash's place
>Occasionally you start to lose it, but Rainbow makes adjustments to keep you in control, and otherwise determine the rest yourself
>Honestly, this is probably the best you've felt in a decade, at least
>The sky seems to softly curl around you, and the way the light bounces off clouds and into your eyes is intoxicating
>The whistling in your ears drops as you slow down and land on a small cloud.
>You always fancied yourself as returning to human, but it seems a very difficult choice now. You're not sure you could give this up
>Flutters lands next to you, and you can't stop yourself from grabbing her in a tight embrace.
"Thanks, guys. The past few days have been fun as all hell, even if I whine a lot."




>After a few moments, Dash clears her throat. "It's kind of awkward being between my best friend and her boyfriend."
>Flutters immedietly flings herself back and drops off the cloud. After a moment, she floats back up
"Wow, faggot, took a while for that to sink in, huh?"
>Rainbow rolled your eyes. "It got pretty obvious after a while. You were constantly going on about her, after all."
>"He was?"
"I was?"
>Dash crossed her arms. "All day. 'Ooh, I wonder what Fluttershy thinks' this, 'She has pretty eyes' that."
"You sure that wasn't you, Lezzy-mc-I-like-cunts-because-I'm-homosexual-and-thus-attracted-to-females?"
>"I don't look at mares' eyes."
>Caught off guard, you nearly fall off the cloud yourself, laughing
>Eventually your ribs start hurting again, and you force yourself to stop, clearing your eyes
>You're not quite sure what Fluttershy's expression is. She seems confused, and not alltogether comfortable
>Her cheeks were flushed red and she refused to make eyecontact for a full second at a time, averting her gaze as soon as you meet
>Dash shook her head. "See! There you go again!"
>You're confused for a moment, and chuckle
"You're just fuckin with me."
>"No I'm not! Look, just, empty your mind for a second or whatever."
>She closes her eyes, and cut off communication with you
>
>You don't really notice anything out of the ordinary.
>Gay joke ready for when you open your eyes? Check.
>Self hatred? Oh, that's always on the backburner, don't even know why you check anymore.
>Toothy grin? Yeah, that ain't worn off yet.
"Rainbow, I don't know what you're--"
>You open your eyes, and immediately lock eyes with Flutters
>For a moment, you feel your heart leap, and your vision glow ever so slightly
>"You see?! That shit, all day!"
>Fluttershy raises her hoof up to her face, looking to the side. "I don't understand..."
>Fuck.
>You do have actual lasting feelings.
>You didn't sign on the wild ride for this shit.



>Rainbow raised both her hooves to the sky. "Gay jokes aside, that was REALLY fucking confusing for the first few hours!
>"Every time I look at her, my heart leaps, cheeks flush, tingly feeling, all of that! Thought I was going crazy."
>Flutters waved her hoof, and you focused on her again. "Um, what are you saying...?"
>Rainbow retched as if she were going to hurl. "I'm saying Anon has some serious puppy love for you."
>You hold your arm up.
"I don't love things. That's Flutters' job. I just hate things."
>Rainbow chuckled under her breath, and Fluttershy frowned and looked off to the ground below.
>Fuck, she took that personally.
>Fuuuck, you don't want to apologize. That's for pussies
>She rubs her arm and keeps her eyes averted.
"H-hey, Flutters, I didn't mean that."
>She put on a token smile, but you could tell it still bothered her. You let out a heavy sigh.
"Alright, alright. Don't hold this over me though!"
>You lean in.
"I love you, Fluttershy."
>She instantly lights up and grins, hugging you. "I love you, Anon!"
>Fuuuuuck, your heart is about to explode
>You're not sure if it's merciful or a war crime when Dash pushes her away.
>"I can deal with hugs, or with being forced to say that I love you, but not both at once."
>Fluttershy giggles and nods. "Sometimes I forget myself."
>A green flash explodes directly to your left.
>A vial labeled "POISON JOKE ANTIDOTE" smacks into your head and lands on the cloud, along with a letter
"Convenient."
>You open the vial and pop it in your mouth, while opening a letter.
>'Jar will be ready around noon tomorrow. --Princess Twilight Sparkle'
>As the last of the potion travels down your throat, you feel your ribs loosening considerably and the strain in your face softening
>You look down, and the spots are gone. Up, and your hair is a rainbow
>Your fur is still brown, though. Probably will wear off. Probably.
>Dash sighs. "Alright, let's go home and watch shitty movies."
