Since their first day being Power Ponies, Spike's marefriends have returned to Canterlot's House of Enchanted Comics for more adventures. One afternoon, Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash are enjoying a supertastic escapade as Radiance, Mistress Marevelous, and Zapp. The number one written rule of these enchanted comics is simple: the fantasy will not end until the narrative plays itself out. One problem, though. For this particular "adventure" to end, it's written that Mistress Marevelous and Zapp must kiss. Passionately.

Why is it that everypony struggles to finish a story properly? Rarity finds out the hard way when she asks Applejack and Rainbow Dash to write their own separate narratives for an enchanted comic book to give to Twilight on her birthday. But Instead of focusing on what Twilight would want, Applejack and Rainbow Dash are determined to out-write each other with literary pizazz. There're common problems in both mares' stories, and Rarity must find a way to fix them both... through Rainbow Dash and Applejack, if need be. After all, this is totally about Twilight... ... ... isn't it?

Rarity decides that Applejack’s Hearts and Hooves day present for Rainbow Dash isn't romantic enough. Fluttershy decides the same thing about Rainbow Dash’s present for Applejack. They each set out to help their friends, but find that romance doesn't work the same way for everypony.

The idea and large parts of this story were written by Bookplayer who then allowed me to adopt it so that I could finish it. Suffice it to say if you enjoy it, you should go give her a thumbs up and if you don't enjoy it, blame me.

Ponyville's weather is never quite the same without Rainbow Dash at the helm.

When a week of bad weather frays the nerves of Ponyville's farmers, they'll go to dubious lengths to stop one of their own from winning the heart of Rainbow Dash, and hogging all the good weather in the process.

A ton of vectors in the cover art:

And, as usual, scene change markers from here.

Snapshots in the life of a cowpony and a weather manager.

Heavily inspired by TheLastBrunnenG's Thirty Minute Ponies collections. Unstarred chapters are edited and expanded from minifics originally posted for the AppleDash group. *Starred* chapters are wholly unique to this collection.

Chapters are arranged in chronological order and new chapters may not always appear last. Going to consider this functionally complete.

Scene change markers scaled down from here.

“Hey RD! Come pick me up at the ’Acres at seven. We’re goin’ on a date tonight.”

“What?!”

Applejack seems determined, Rainbow Dash tries to catch up.
