ATTENTION DIGITAL WORLD! The newest Chosen has arrived from her humble home to help save the day and protect the planet and it's residents from any wrongdoers who would threaten it's peace and prosperity! And her name is...RAINBOW DASH!

...How was that?

Eh, could've done better on the last part, but not too bad.

(The D-Terminal focuses on a blue-skinned girl who has rainbow-like hair, a blue top to match and what looks like a lightning bolt on her shirt! Not to mention...she's got wings, and she's hovering above the ground. The flying could be a way for her to ignore the whole 'suddenly human' appearance since it is confusing for her nonetheless.

The fingers, too.)

'Sup, everypony? You heard my partner; the name's Rainbow Dash, and I'm one of the newest girls from Equestria brought here to help out! My partner's name is Falcomon, but I'm sure I can come up with a WAY cooler name than that!

(...For those of you who are watching, you're not imagining it; Rainbow is flying backward on the screen for a few moments before righting herself.)

What about Speedy? You've got wings like me, and I'm pretty sure you can keep up with my awesomeness!

Hmm...that seems okay, but what about that other one you mentioned before-?

Huh? Oh, Tank! (A beat, then she shakes her head.) Nah, that name's already taken; Tank's my pet turtle from back home!

Oh, yeah: anypony live in...F2 001? That's where we'll be staying while we're here, so hope you don't mind having an awesome Pegasus for a roommate!

...Turtle?

(The feed cuts on the newly named Speedy's confused face.)

(Rainbow's grin from before? Totally became a surprised expression for a few brief moments; how many non-ponies did Fluttershy meet here?! The Digimon were one thing since they were kinda like pets but not really. Either way, she performs a pose and her earlier grin comes back.)

...Hehe, yeah! That's me: Rainbow Dash, the fastest flyer in Equestria! Speedy here? She's cooler than cool, and one day we'll make sure everypony knows it. The bad guys, anyway.

[He grins.]

Oho, fastest flyer? H'no wonder you got a falcon for a digimon partner.

[Although Falcomon looked kinda like an interesting cross between a falcon and an owl to him.]

Hehe, you bet! Almost got a falcon for a pet in a race, but he forgot a key rule I had set up before the race started: whoever crossed the finish line with me earned the honor of being my pet.

(She'll deny it if asked, but she's relieved she mentioned the technicality later on otherwise she'd have a falcon for a pet back in Equestria!)

Hah'aaah, a falcon probably wouldn't have made such a great pet anyway.

[Wild animal and whatnot. Especially since back in his world, you can't own a falcon without some serious credentials and even then.]

Is that how you got a turtle for a pet though? With a race?

[That's certainly a new way to choose a pet.]

(Rainbow actually didn't expect him to know what pet she chose even if Fluttershy had talked about her. She thought she was the one who paraded her own awesomeness.)

Exactly! A race through GHASTLY GORGE

DUN-DUN-DUUUUUUUUUN!

[He can't help but chuckle at that.]

Sounds like fun!

By the way, my name's Martin. Nice to get to meet you, Rainbow Dash.

[And he's glad Fluttershy'll have a friend from home here. Considering what she's been through, she could probably really use a familiar friendly face.]

Totally! Just make sure you avoid the quarray eels. And don't cause an avalanche.

(She laughs lightly despite the above incident of 'avalanche' happening to her.)

Martin, huh? Same here, and thanks for looking out for Fluttershy! You're okay in my book.

[He's never heard of those kinds of eels, and it's awfully hard for him not to ask. ...At least he can focus on the avalanche part.]

Oho, yeah, an avalanche would be pretty bad.

[Definitely something to be avoided, whether you're racing or adventuring.]

Aww, thanks. H'that was no trouble; gotta have each other's backs, you know. She's been so helpful to me and Chris since we got here.

...Chris? (Her eyebrows raise in confusion; someone else Fluttershy knew? Was Rainbow gonna have to make a list of everyone they met?)

Is he your partner, or a friend of yours?

Hah'a little of both, h'but mostly he's my brother.

[He chuckles at that.]

We both arrived here at around the same time, and Fluttershy's always been happy to answer any questions we had.

(His brother? Sweet!)

Hehe, that's Fluttershy. She'll help out anyone who needs it.

(She just needs a little confidence first.)
