...there will be people to help you soon, don't worry.

Sigh. There goes another one.:facehoof:

I would like to point out that you actually introduced Rainbow's friends to her brother four times. First time with names only, second with occupations only, third with general appearance only, and fourth in a form of dialogue only. Because of separating that, each part lacks a certain depth.

Instead of:

"This is Rarity the fashionista."
" Oh my gosh your mane is absolutely fabulous!!" Dasher blushed at that comment
"Oh thank you."

You could have developed this part into something more like this:

"This is Rarity," Rainbow Dash said, bringing another unicorn from the crowd of partying ponies. As if in complete contrast to Twilight, that one's indigo mane was much fancier and elegant, and was clearly standing out against her brilliant white coat. "She's a fashionista."
"She's a who now?", Dasher replied, perplexed.
"Oh, I make dresses and outfits from time to time," Rarity smiled gently. "In fact, why don't you drop by Carousel Boutique some time? I think I have a little something that will look just stunning with your mane, which, might I add, is absolutely fabulous!"
"Oh," Dasher couldn't help but blush. "Thanks."

Now, by mixing all the information about Rarity into one fragment, we achieved description much more enjoyable to read.

And there are small things, too - remember to capitalize the names: it's Ponyville and Rarity, not ponyville and rarity. Sister's couch, not sisters. And since the story is obviously hinting towards a bigger friendship between Fluttershy and your OC, keep in mind that it is especially important to keep things slow. They hardly know each other, so make that relationship believable.

Welp, my computer broke, and it is hard to write a long review in a phone, so I'll just make a short one instead.

-Stories about Rainbow Dash with a brother in an alternate universe.
-OC is a self-insert.
-Romance tag.
-'love' and friendship.
-critisizem.

Yeah, words of advice:
- OCs aren't that much appreciated, specially when they have close connection with the canon characters. That is of course, if you can't execute it.
-Names such as Ponyville, Rainbow Dash, needs some basic capitalization. Oh, and also fix the punctuations, comma splices, and weird formatting.
-Check for spelling errors, before publishing. At least try to minimize it.
-We're talking about ponies here, and Rarity is a pony, not a 'person'.
-Make sure you keep your pacing at control. That means no OC having Buttershy in bed without the two, actually spending time together, and getting to know each other.
-Show, don't tell; pretty much self explanatory.

Thoughts?
I've seen lots of stories the same as yours, so I don't see how this is going to end differently. What I'm saying is to try another story with different plot; be fresh

So, yeah... short review, indeed-y. Oh, and another thing: Editors are essential.
