And that started The Usual...
I like this. Pleasant slice of life fics are always welcome. I think I must copy your idea of Aloe's behavior.
2860922 Thanks. I once saw a picture on Deviantart of a rather exuberant-looking Aloe, and that kind of inspired her personality.
Nice job tying everything together, I enjoyed this here tale. But don't tell applejack
I liked how you set things before the first episode. Everyone was nicely characterized.
Man this good
All hail Aloe and Lotus
Nice story overall.
I really love ur aloe and lotus.
Great read.
Great work here! Seriously! You took two background characters, gave them unique, interesting personalities, and managed to give a great, logical reason why Rarity learned martial arts!
This DEFINITELY needs more love.
2997648 Heh, funny thing, I actually prefer your idea on how Rarity learned martial arts! (I wrote this before I read Perfect Companions.) But the Aloe and Lotus teaching Rarity idea is a good way for me to incorporate these underused characters.
Decidedly interesting and in character.
This is a wonderful story! I really like Aloe and Lotus, and seeing the get characterized like this is a real treat.
I also really enjoyed the bit about Aloe kissing some stallion and angering his fillyfriend, only to find out it was Shiny and Cadence!
On one hand, I love what you did with rarity and these two background characters.
On the other hand, I kept finding most of Rarity's references to the other mane six to be jarring as I'm under the impression that most of them weren't a group of close friends before they all joined up around Twilight.
A very fun take on them. Bravo
This was hilarious, and entertaining.
Could you do a sequel that details the first interaction that Aloe and Lotus have with Twilight?
Another proof that it may be worth to skim trough other ponies favorite-story-shelves.
It's a shame I didn't run earlier in this story.
I liked the characterisation of Aloe and Lotus. And especially the time you set the story. Really funny to read.
It was well written and a solid and nice slice of life. Perfect for reading while drinking tea.
edit: forgot to mention that you get upvote and fav for the nice work
and an extra moustache for the time you set the story.
5001422 When one thinks about it, due to Pinkie Pie being 'friends' with everypony in town, all of the characters had some sort of mutual friendship due to Pinkie Pie.
Rarity was already friends with Fluttershy before the show started
Fluttershy has been friends with Rainbow Dash since flight school, thus giving at least Proxy friendship between Rainbow Dash and Rarity.
Applejack practically has a monopoly on the sale of Apples in Ponyville, and it's been all but spelled out for us that everyone in Ponyville does enjoy, knows of or has been in some way affiliated with Sweet Apple Acres. So there's no doubt that she met the incredibly competitive RD due to needing weather schedules to work the crop harvesting around, Interacted with Fluttershy to help keep animals from ruining much of her harvest, and possibly Rarity simply because Applejack makes a point of selling the apples that she works hard to harvest in the marketplace for everyone to enjoy.
While Rarity may not be friends with Applejack before the series starts, there's no doubt that in such a small town the entire cast, sans Twilight Sparkle, has interacted if they have not become friends with each other.
Just posting to clear that little bit up
