Rainbow Dash's E-Mails: shapeshifter

"All right, ponies, back again and checking e-mails from my pals...I mean, the Bronies that write me." Rainbow said as she brings up the next e-mail of the show.

Dear Rainbow Dash,

What would you do if a group of giant transforming robots appear in Equestria? Would you trust them?

"So you mean the Autobots that the egghead and the princess met right? Hmm, well, I haven't seen them yet but if I do, I will see." Rainbow answers while typing in her answer, "Next e-mail!"

Subject: e-mail
Dear Rainbowdash, if you could shapeshift just like the Changelings, waht would you turn into?
From Baxter Eastergard Anachovies, Washinpony

Rainbow reads 'waht' wrong with high infection as well as 'Baxter Eastergard Anachovies, Washinpony' as the sender's full name. We see a picture of Fluttershy as a weather forecaster. The mare rolls her eyes while saying, "Oh brother. You can't be a weatherpony with a name like that? So how about Paco East," She begins to type while continuing, "Well, you think that I of all ponies would be all over this shafeshifting thing, Paco, especially since those dumb Changelings can do it. But if comic books, movies, cartoons and Sci-Fi Original Movies has shown me anything, it's that the power comes with a bunch of boring lame rules and restrictions that limits it potential Turn-Into-A-Bulldozer-Whenever-I-Wantity."

Rainbow clears the screen as she spoke in a mocking tone of voice, "Yeah, you can turn into a pony machine gun but not bullets, contemporary jazz turns you back to normal; you must turn into gifts knitted for you by your grandma." The mare spoke normally, "Other horsecrap like that. For example, let's say that I could turn into any species...THAT ARE BALLOON ANIMALS!"

We see Rainbow standing near Rarity along with Spike; his hair is messed up while his body got polka dots. He appears to be foaming at the mouth.

"Look out, a rabid Spike!" Rainbow gasps in Rarity in alarm. "Let me handle this!"

The scene soon pauses like a video tape as we hear Rainbow saying, "Yeah, another thing about shapeshifting? You gotta have a cool trademark sound effect that happens every time you change forms." The scene is in pause.

"Shapeshift into...a huge Manticore; DWAYNE," Rainbow exclaims. The word 'DWAYNE!' appears above the mare and fades, it continues to do so everytime Rainbow shapeshifts. Right now, the mare turned into a pink, four-legged balloon animal, "Gah! I didn't say a poodle, I said 'Manticore'! DWAYNE!"

Rainbow turns into a blue balloon of the same shape, but this time with a different tail and a droopy nose. The mare snaps, "A Manticore, not a donkey! Dwayne!" The sound effect appears in lowercase and with an even more annoyed tone to it. Rainbow turns into an orange balloon animal. Still the same shape but she got shorter ears and muzzle, "Oh yeah, much better! Stand back!" Of course, the wind chose that time to show up, blowing the balloon mare away, "Oh boy."

Rarity gasps as the mad Spike jumps right at her. But the scene is paused in the nick of time. Rainbow's voice is heard again, "Ooh, but what if I could turn into legal tender?"

---

We see Rainbow approaching Time Turner's place as her voice continues, "You know, one of the only good legal things in existence?"

"Hey Time Turner? How much for that awesome Equestrian hot tub you got back there?" Rainbow asks Time Turner with a smile.

"The what," Time Turner ask puzzled, not sure what Rainbow meant at first; then he looks down and saw the hot tub in question, "Oh, that thing! Yeah, it's back here. But it will run you one hundred..." The two ponies jerk their heads back twice. "...bits."

"Oh yeah, Coltish deals! Shapeshift into...a 100 bits bill! DWAYNE!"

Rainbow turns into a 100 bits bill that floats down onto the counter. Ironically, the wind chose that time to return, sending the mare flying away from the place. Not her luck.

"Yeah, apparently wind can be one big problem for most shapeshifters." Rainbow's voice admits in a bit of annoyance.

Sure enough, Pinkie bounces in, spotting Rainbow floating by while saying, "Nice! A 100 bit thing," She grabs the shapeshifting mare from the air and puts her in...who knows where, causing drops of liquid to go flying. "I can put you right into where I keep my sweaty-sweat-sweats; Okie dokie lokie!"

Pinkie hits her waist for emphasis, causing more liquid to go flying. Kinda...disgusting, don't you think?

---

Rainbow, lying on the floor next to her computer chair, looks disgusted and distressed. She didn't want to imagine that! The mare groans, "Blaaaaaaaggghhhh! Hang on, I can do this again. Maybe I could turn into...almost any pony in Equestria. Hey, the Changelings can do that. Is that too much to ask?"

---

We see Rainbow and Spike in the field, standing next to a large structure made from round objects. The mare exclaims, "No worries! I think I know how to get us through this 10 foot thick wall of chocolate cakes! Shapeshift into...Applejack! DWAYNE!" The pony turns into Applejack, though her voice stays the same with a Southern accent added in. "Hee-yah! It worked! Ah done betcha 'dis could take a few seconds!"

Rainbow leans forward and makes chomping noises. One problem, the chocolate cakes are unaffected. The mare in annoyance exclaims, "Hey! Why isn't this working?" She took a look at one side and saw the problem: half of her isI missing, much to her bitterness. "Oh yeah, I get it..." Spike of course screams in terror, running off. "Yeah, I can turn into almost anypone. Okay, two can play at this lame, dumb rules of shapeshifting!"

---

Rainbow, in her normal form, is back at Time Turner's lab, the stallion is no around. With a devilish smirk, the mare asks, "Hey Time Turner? How much for that awesome Equestrian hot tub you got back there? Shapeshift into...TIME TURNER!" She turns into...a human that kinda resembles Time Turner. "What the hay? I turned into a human version of Time Turner, the wrong 'almost'. Oh great, this place was supposed to be foalproof! The ponies don't know what Time Turner was once was before..."

"Hey Time Turner, Time Turner; Coming to your place to speak with you," Pinkie is heard counting.

"Gah, wait. I can still make this work!" Rainbow exclaims as she jumps behind the counter and put on a bag that looks like Time Turner's face, stallion version. She did this just in time as Pinkie bounces happily onto the scene.

"Hey, good bag, Time Turner! I'd like one Equestrian hot tub!" Pinkie exclaims as she take out some familiar bits from her own person. "How about I used this moistened bits that I found earlier?"

"Wait, what?" Rainbow asks confused, recognizing the money as herself in her bits form. Just then the balloon animal that she turned into in another imagination floats past.

"Neat, a giraffe!"

---

Back in reality, Rainbow sat at her computer, looking confused as she types in, "Wow, that was confusing. See what I mean? Shapeshifting is filled with confusing problems and a severe lack of hot tubs! Not worth..."

"Hey Rainbow Dash," Derpy heard is saying speaking, making Rainbow turn. "Coming into your home to speak to you!"

"Oh horse feathers! DWAYNE!"

Rainbow quickly turns into a colorful scarf that got the tag on it which is labeled 'From: Granny'. Derpy chose that time to walk in with a chessboard with vanilla ice cream with chocolate sprinkles and a cherry on top of a muffin, along with other chess pieces. No Rainbow Dash however...just a scarf.

"Awww, horse apples; you again, scarf from Granny! Forget it!" Derpy exclaims angrily. She didn't want to play with a scarf, the mare wanted to play with Rainbow!

Derpy turns around and flew away out of the house. Rainbow in amusement said, "Phew. Perhaps shapeshifting isn't all bad after all...once I control it right. Thanks, grandma."

The new paper comes down, bringing this chapter/e-mail to an end. We now see Rainbow turning into the forms from before like the balloon donkey, a $100 bits thing, Time Turner's human form, Rainbow and back to the scarf each time with the 'Dwayne!' shape shifting sound effect. We also see something for a giveaway for some reason.

The End
