The place Scootaloo woke up in was similar to her own world, but everything was much. Duller. Of course, hospitals are quite dull, but the one she was in was grimy. Everything just looked. Off. Of course, luck would have it that Pinkie Pie had been there. At least, this world's version of her. Unlike in Scootaloo's own world, this Pinkie had flat hair and no wings. When they made eye contact, things started happening, it was all a blur to poor Scootaloo, and next thing she knew she was in a hotel room, sitting in front of a serious Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash. She looked smart. Professional.

A quick series of tests were run on her, including asking various things like her name, her place of birth, the names of her friends, and her age. She answered honestly of course, as she was just as confused as the two before her were. And when the examination was over, she was told what was going on.

"You are from an alternate universe," Rainbow Dash said, "I would like to sincerely apologize for this, as from what you have told us, your own world seems much more-" she scowls at the next word "- friendly. And unfortunately you cannot go back to Ponyville, either, as you are dead in this world, and doing so would cause confusion-"

"But what about my friends!" Scootaloo sobbed. She doesn't want to cry, but she's close to it. It's all so much.

Then Rainbow Dash had to be physically held back by Pinkamena, not Pinkie Pie in this world.

"Sorry, Scootaloo, your friends are dead too." Pinkamena explained while Dash seethed nearby, attempting to calm down. "Dashie killed them. In a factory. She also isn't a fan of kids, so please do try to be respectful."

Needless to say, Scootaloo was mortified. Well, mainly by the obvious hypocrisy. She wanted to run. She wanted to get out of here, away from this child killer. How could Pinkie- Pinkamena stand to be near someone like that?

"Oh! Dashie!" Pinkamena suddenly got an idea. "I've been looking for an apprentice, someone to help me bake. I think it should be her. So, you don't get to kill her."

Rainbow Dash looked like she was about to explode with anger. Pinkamena only smiled, as though she knew this evil pony would listen to her. Then Rainbow Dash left, slamming the door with a shout of "fine, whatever!" And apparently the whole thing was settled. Just like that.

"I hope you have enough sense to realize that this isn't normal baking we'll be doing, kid. This is advanced baking- kidding- it's cannibalism!"

Well. At least Pinkie still has a sense of humor. Even though now is definitely not the time.

That was the last thing in Scootaloo's mind before she passed out from the shock of it all.

SORRY FOR THE LITTLE STORY I DIDN'T PLAN ON DOING THAT. Be thankful I didn't go into detail mode.

Anyway. Just a little sketch to take place in my MLP PPG crossover story.

dash‏‏‎ ‎x‏‏‎ ‎mane‏‏‎ ‎six‏‏‎ ‎ships in order of the ones i like the most to the least. under cut in case anyone doesn't want to see in depth discussion of canon ships or these ones in particular or anything like that

twidash:‏‏‎ ‎my favorite from when i was a wee thing. i used to write really cringe fanfiction about them. i still like it and will willingly read fanfic about them if it interests me and i generally smile upon seeing it in the wild. though it interests me less now because for the most part i'm like well i could just steal this concept for astraldash regarding most aspects of the bookworm/athlete dynamic.

raridash:‏‏‎ ‎i find it really really cute and i'm not even totally sure why i just think their dynamics play off of each other really well.‏‏‎ ‎rarity‏‏‎ ‎investigates is one of my all time favorite episodes‏‏‎ ‎which might be part of it. honestly every episode with them interacting as a duo is good. they would probably have really dramatic fights though.

flutterdash:‏‏‎ ‎through exposure therapy i'm more okay with this one than i used to be and i do see a lot of myself in‏‏‎ ‎fluttershy‏‏‎ ‎which makes it better but it's also most people's number one‏‏‎ ‎dash ship‏‏‎ ‎of choice which kind of makes it tiring because it's all over the place and these fans also tend to not tag it very well. i love their platonic relationship though and i can read fics where they're a background ship.

pinkiedash:‏‏‎ ‎this one makes me sad sometimes because‏‏‎ ‎pinkie is the character with the least in common with astral (and me) so it makes me feel bad about myself. but if i really really want to read something that has it as a minor background element i can power through.

appledash:‏‏‎ ‎my nemesis.‏‏‎ ‎i'd say‏‏‎ ‎soarindash‏‏‎ ‎is my nemesis but i feel like the term implies a level of grudging respect and i have no such thing‏‏‎ ‎for‏‏‎ ‎soarindash.‏‏‎ ‎the only good things about this ship: it made fandom ship 2 masc women together. and it made bronies really mad. (things that upset me can be okay if they make cishet men really mad. read:‏‏‎ ‎karlach‏‏‎ ‎being‏‏‎ ‎a‏‏‎ ‎top.) everything else about it makes me feel awful and depressed and it's so hard to avoid because People Don't Fucking Tag It and good lord it's a million times worse on instagram. not to mention their pair episodes aren't even good. lest we forget the one in Season Fucking Eight that makes them both out to be such childish morons that they needed actual teenagers to tell them they were acting like idiots. what a way to spit in the face of both their characters lmao.

all 6 polyam: love this one actually it's good. i think all of them should date as many other ponies as possible and spread the polycule as far as it will go. ponycule. one day it will encompass all of ponyville
