I got yer back, Fluttershy! Just be ready to heal me if I may get hit. This one's a biggie! I'm gonna try to use my super buck ability on him. Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my legs fer war, and my hooves fer battle." Applejack picked her dice and got ready to roll.
Fluttershy let out an "eeep!" and burrowed her head into Applejack's chest. "I'll heal you if you get a boo-boo, but just please don't let him hurt me. I'm very weak and sensitive. Do you think that maybe we could tell this creature about the goddess that I worship in the game, Melora?"
Applejack had a disturbed look on her face. "Hey Fluttershy, I know it's fun to get into this game and everythin', but I think yer over reactin' a bit. These demons and monsters here are just little figurines. They ain't really gonna hurt ya. This creature does lots of damage, but ya were even afraid of the 'lil minions that do like one hit point worth of damage if Spike rolls a twenty. And no, I don't think this demon creature is going to care about the godess that you follow in the game. We need to kill him."
"Can we tell him about Jesus then?" Fluttershy asked.
"No!" Applejack yelled at her. "Play the game and stop worryin' so much 'bout every little detail 'bout it."
"Fluttershy picked her head up and looked at Applejack, and then back to her friends. "I'm so sorry. This game is just scary and I heard a lot of bad things about it. I don't want to sacrifice my soul to a dark god when my character dies in this game. Do you all remember that one pony who killed himself after his character died in the game? That was terrible and tragic!"
Twilight Sparkle rolled her eyes and said, "Fluttershy, relax! This is a great game and some ponies even use it as a part of their missionary work. You are acting like we are practicing Satanic worship or some kind of voo-doo magic. Saying that a make believe fantasy game is responsible for death is like saying that video games or inanimate objects kill ponies. It's so silly, and ponies who have many deep issues or obsessions probably should not play this game. Try to relax and have fun. This is a great game and it helps improve our imaginations. I even taught the youth group at our church how to play this game. This is almost as ridiculous as the time when you threatened to leave our group because we were playing Magic The Gathering. Table top and card games are fun." Twilight Sparkle let out a laugh and began to list the names of the characters from the Bible and what alignments they would be.
Fluttershy let go of Applejack and nervously watched as Applejack began to roll the dice.
Pinkie Pie giggled and said, "Hey Dashie! Do you think your pet Tank would be good at this game? Maybe Tank could out tank Applejack."
"Very funny Pinkie," Applejack said. "Maybe ya could git closer to me on yer next turn by usin' yer special teleportin' spell so ya can be ready to cast some spells on this abomination of a creature. She tossed out the dice and rolled a twenty. "Alright! I landed a critical strike, girls!" Applejack looked at her special list of skills and abilities. "Hmmmm. It looks like if I use this skill first, that I get a magical aura that will give ya'll a boost in armor, but I won't do as much damage to this creature. If I use my favorite super buck ability, I'll do tons of damage, but ya'll won't have that special protection. Applejack looked at Twilight Sparkle. She had a massively long scroll that had all her notes written on it. "Uh, Twi? Please don't tell me that entire list is yer plans fer just yer next move?"
"I need to know all of the possibilities and mathematical calculations, Applejack," Twilight replied.
"Yer such a geek," Applejack said.
"No offence taken!" Twilight replied.
Spike, the dungeon master, rolled his eyes and hoped that one of the players would step on the little shiny symbol on the floor to trigger a flood attack of zombie-like creatures. He also had special plans for them to meet a character named, Splug.
Applejack looked at Rainbow Dash who was sitting right next to her and said, "Hey Rainbow, I know yer the damage expert here and ya roll next after my turn, but would ya like me to do some extra damage to this demon thingy, or do ya want extra shield on yer turn? I wanna see ya blast this beast with yer special sonic rainboom ability as ya go soarin' through the air."
Soarin'. That word echoed through Rainbow Dash's mind a few times. "Holy horse apples!" she cried out. "Girls, I don't have time to play this game anymore! I forgot about Soarin'. We have a special date planned today."
Twilight Sparkle face hoofed and said, "Rainbow Dash, I know this stallion means so much to you, but can't you reschedule and at least finish our campaign? These games take days and days to finish playing and we are already well into it."
"I'm sorry, but he's a bit more important to me than this game. Can't you all just have something happen to me in the game like I take a cloud nap and then catch up with you all later?"
Spike sighed and said, "Ok, this is what's going to happen. During battle, Pinkie Pie accidently hits Rainbow Dash with friendly fire because her character is so crazy and manic because she is chaotic neutral in the game and also because Rainbow Dash is currently positioned in front of Pinkie pie. Rainbow Dash is now unconscious because the spell effects ponies differently than the demons you are fighting."
"We can't come up with a more creative story?" Twilight asked.
Spike put his claws on his front hips and said, "No! I want you all to press on and not waste time because I have an extra secret surprise for you." Spike put on a magician's top hat and a mustache and rubbed his front claws together greedily.
"What are we going to do with an unconscious pony?" Rarity asked.
"Applejack is the strongest one out of our little group here," Twilight said. "Applejack, do you still have your rope?"
Applejack took out a lasso and twirled it around in the air. "I do!"
Twilight Sparkle laughed and said, "I meant in the game, Applejack."
Applejack looked at her notes and said, "E-yup! I still got it."
Twilight looked at Spike and asked, "Spike, would it be okay if Applejack tied Rainbow Dash to her back and carried her through battle?"
Spike put his front claw under his chin and said, "Hmmmm. I'll allow it as long as Applejack loses the ability to move up to two movements since she is wearing so much armor already."
"That's fine with me," Applejack said. "I put the whole team on my back anyway."
"Ok, Rainbow Dash, you're free to go now. We hope that you'll play again soon," Twilight said.
"And please don't sacrifice your soul to Satan!" Fluttershy called out.
Twilight Sparkle face hoofed and laughed that Fluttershy was still afraid of this game.
Rainbow Dash thanked them and began to head out. Before she walked out the door, she stopped in front of a mirror and tried to fix up her mane a bit.
Rarity giggled and asked, "Rainbow Dash, are you trying to make yourself look pretty?"
"What!?" Rainbow Dash cried out. "Of course not! I was just, uh...Aw hay, I won't hide it anymore. Yeah, I want to look at least a little bit more presentable."
Rarity smiled and said, "You must really love him if you would be so willing to try to fix up your mane in front of us like that. Would you like to come to my Carrousel Boutique, and I can fix you up a bit?"
Twilight Sparkle looked at Rarity sternly and spread her front legs apart sideways as if to say, "NO WAY!" with her body language.
Rainbow thought how ridiculous it would be to sit in a chair for hours and have Rarity do all sorts of crazy things to make her look more pretty. Although knowing just how much she loved Soarin', she would do it just for him if it made him happy. She looked down and said, "Thanks for the offer, but I think you should enjoy your game and I'll try to pick up where I left off later."
Twilight sighed a breath of relief that they wouldn't need to alter the game anymore than it has been to compensate for the inactivity of Rainbow Dash.
"My offer still stands if you ever decide to stop by. I think it would be fun to do some experiments on you," Rarity said.
"Thanks, Rarity, we'll see in the future though. Take care all." Rainbow Dash walked out the door and then popped her head back in. "And don't let Fluttershy sacrifice her soul to Satan because she's playing this game," she said with a sly smirk on her face and winked her eye.
"Oh don't worry, Rainbow Dash," Twilight said. "I have some rope and holy water nearby in case we may need to perform an emergency exorcism on Fluttershy if the demons enter her body."
Fluttershy was not amused.
Rainbow Dash laughed and then was on her way.
Oh, Fluttershy... Don't be such a scaredy pony!
That's a very cute flashback!
I was expecting to see Dashie and Soarin' break up, but not like this. It's so sad...
If the Joker was putting that scene on the air, he'd be a lot like this:
It's so sweet of Fluttershy to pray for her big sister.
3257754 Yeah. This was hard for me to write because whenever I do write for Soarin' in my other one shot fics, I love to portray him as this knight in shining armor that can do little to no wrong. I had to make this different, but for a good reason, and the sequel to this will continue the story.
3257951
I see.
By the way, "Spitfire" and "bedroom" should be one word each. A couple of quotation marks are missing and some are placed by accident.
Didn't expect to see Dungeons and Dragons.
3258299 Oh, I could of sworn Spitfire was two words, thanks for pointing that out.
I was inspired to add Dungeons and Dragons based off of a very negative comment that someone posted in one of my previous stories. Sometimes I get inspired by my haters and they actually give me ideas! Also, I have played it a few times with a Minister who uses Dungeons and Dragons as a part of his missionary work and teaches teens in the Church how to play as well as other games of that nature. I based Fluttershy off of one key family member of mine that seriously believed that Dungeons and Dragons was the work of Satan and that I was in serious danger by playing it. There's always someone out there who feels that way about that game, or video games, etc. whether Christian or not. That's another reason why I added that in, and come on, Dash makes an awesome gamer girl!
3258362
She sure does!
I am now watching you xD
3259967 Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoy my stories.
No offense But....Actually I don't give to fucks if you do It's TOO MOTHERFUCKING RELIGIOUS. Now i'm not hating on Your Religion No it's far from that i'm going to ask you a simple question and i'm hoping you reply back to me just because i want your opinion on this when in the show has there ever been references to Roman Catholicism (Or any other type of Catholicism) But i'm Okay with that what i'm mad about is how you said that your image of that character wasn't going to marry the other Character unless the converted which in the end means that they're forcing their religion on to on the other person I know i sound like a hater and if i don't like it i shouldn't have read it but i had to do this because i want to know why you made the Character's something there not.
3317798 So....Hi there. I'm a religious person writing religious stories. It kind of makes sense that there's religion in there since I am a Christian writer and I love MLP. Reading a Christian MLP fan fic and saying, "Bro....this is way too religious," is like having a non-Brony read an MLP fan fic and say, "Bro.....this is has way too much pony in it." This story is apart of an entire series that is based upon Christian morals and teachings. Many of my other one shot fics are Christian too.
There hasn't been any Christian references from the show and it shouldn't matter. This is what "FAN FIC" writing is called. I see many Christian morals and teachings in this show even if this show has nothing to do with religion. I see a show based off of love, grace, and forgiveness which inspires me to write like this as well.
I am not Catholic and there is only one Roman Catholic church. How many different Roman Catholic churches do you think there are?
She wasn't forcing religion on Soarin'. She was doing what God tells us to do when it comes to the topic of marrying others of different faiths...."Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?"
3319243 So what type of christian are you are you a
Adventist, Anabaptist, Anglican,
Baptist, Calvinist, Catholic,
Evangelical, Holiness, Lutheran,
Methodist. Protestant ,Pentecostal
Eastern Orthodox Eastern Catholic,
Oriental Orthodox Assyrian,
Jehovah's Witness, LDS Church,
Oneness Pentecostal
Yeah there's many different types of Christianity just letting you know
3320922 That doesn't even cover it all. There are thousands more out there. In the past, I have been to Baptist, Alliance, and a few other denominational churches I think. I haven't looked into every single little detail about what makes them different, but I haven't really decided what specific denomination I would choose. Most of them are very similar, but with only tiny differences. As long as Christ is the center focus of the church, then this is what is most important.
Dungeon and Dragons with Ponies???
Make it happen!!! Mmm... the fimfic possiblities, NO! Han, concerntrate on the story you're working on now first! >.<
"I need to know all of the possibilities and mathematical calculations, Applejack," Twilight replied.
"Yer such a geek," Applejack said.

I'm sorry, I really am... I know I'm suppose to feel bad for Rainbow because of this whole relationship thing but...
...am I the only one who wants to know who in Equestria is Splug???
I'm pretty sure I can beat him with my Barbarian Applejack and her mighty Cleaver of Great Cleaving!
now you've got me wishing I had a gamer girl... 'sigh' and I've already put all hopes of that ever happening behind me now...
But I'm not really big on romance so I can't say that I was feeling all that sad for RD? Weird thing was I even said 'yes!' in my head that she left that Soarin' sucker! 0_0 You go Dashie! You don't need no stinkin' stallion to try his luck on you! He doesn't deserve an awesome mare like you! In fact, why not just go for the Wonderbolts, get recruited because you're awesome, and than outrank that stupid pie-eating-pervert by being Spitfire's second in command! Hah! that'll teach him to mess with the best Pegasus in all of Equestria!
okay, onto the next chapter!
3332905 Splug showed up in my very first Dungeons and Dragons game. He was a very annoying character that we had to deal with. He was almost as if he was against us yet on our side at the same time.
I'm surprised that Dash's reaction at the end didn't make you feel even the slightest bit sad. He was obviously somepony very special to her. I wouldn't have had her behave like that at the end if he wasn't that important to her. Heartbreak can literally make you sick. It's something I know to be true personally.
I wonder if it would change your mind if in this story, Dash was Applejack and something similar happened to her.
3333029
Are you kidding? If he was as big a jerk as Soarin' was here? Ah'd say leave that dumb buck alone, gal yer better than that stikin' piece of rotten apple! Ya'll got a great family ta keep yer happy...
becaue if I can't have you... than NOPONY can!!!
fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/010/6/6/crazy_fluttershy_by_supermatt314-d4lz8b9.png
3333207 Soarin' did a very wrong thing, but he always had good intentions up until that one point. Remember the good things that Rainbow said about him? You're acting like he was a jerk to her 24/7. He just didn't understand what the Christian life was really like.
To sum it all up.....He needed Christ in his life.
