Awesome. More exposure for the single best shipping FiM story, period.
And the hot sex isn't bad either

Awesome chapter. For some reason, I kept thinking of Lee Adama and Kara Thrace from the new Battlestar Galactica, a little weird I know but it kinda fit. Anyways, Dash is awesome and I approve.

"“I kissed a mare!” Rarity says like a giddy schoolfilly"
I kissed a mare, and I liked it!

And that's how shit gets fucked up!
Awesome story so far and Ill have to see where this instability takes us later on...

I got most of it, Rarity wants a stallion that cares about her, not sex. Pretty sure Dash just wants sex but feels bad about Rarity crying. But saving her life? Forgive me if I'm slow. Also would appreciate some one correcting me/explaining most of what i missed.

Dash saved her life in the 'Sonic Rainboom' episode, which is why she asked Dash out (as a kind of thanks). In the end of the chapter she just thanked Dash for that again.

"They stand in line for hours and hours Dash could swear she had to leave the line to go to the bathroom like eight or nine times and then there is food and it's hot and salty and greasy and Rarity if you don't like the way I do ketchup then you can get your own order of hay fries alright fine fine I won't put any on this side hey is that the girl from the bar oh okay ignore me that's fine whatever I don't care I'm freakin' Rainbow Dash over here."

This is the run-on sentence in the history of time.

521546 The actual show, best young fliers copetition, Rarity had magical wings from Twilight, they evaporated when she got too high up and she was falling, knocked out three wonderbolts with her flailing. She and the wonderbolts were saved by Rainbow Dash.

All right. This is officially something Rarity needs to talk to somepony about.

I like the wide variety of perspectives on sex you've built from the personalities of the mane six. Always nice to have different views on an issue, especially one where so many exist.

"OH DEAR CELESTIA OF EQUESTRIA" I read that in the voice of Hermes Conrad. The scary part is that it didn't kill the mood for me

Rarity's gotta get her priorities straight. I mean, she says she's straight, but she's been with more mares than stallions. I don't think she's even been with a stallion...... Also, she said she wanted her first time to be special...... So that means......

Late to the party, I know, but THANK YOU!

I felt super drunk while reading some of the bar stuff. I was really hoping for some epic RariDash clop, but, maybe that's for a later time. Now, time for the next chapter!

What are those, anyway?

Should ask Twilight sometime.

Dried mucus. It came up your tear ducts.
I've actually never looked up how it gets to the other side of your eye as well.

She bumps hooves with Scratch quickly, letting her get back to work

Show-off.

Man, she's so young. Is this her first time out? Does she have any idea what she's doing?

Probably. You should take advantage of her!
. . . That was a joke. I know you know how to treat your fans. If you so much as think of anything immoral . . . I shall be very disappointed in somebody, and I did not just misspeak. You don't know him personally, but I assure you, you're familiar with his work.

No way I'm getting dragged into a conversation about how we aren't young and beautiful anymore.

Yes, you're old and decrepit. All the way in your early twenties.
But, hey, what would Rarity even do, if not be a drama queen?

"I kissed a mare!" Rarity says like a giddy schoolfilly.

And you liked it.

Ohmygod she's not even a pegasus how does she know where to touch does she have any idea how good this feels?

Not the slightest clue.

Well now I'm really irritated. This was supposed to be the opportune moment to complain about my aversion to sexually explicit stories that's not affected, and that I forget about because it doesn't show up immediately, and can be overruled into barely manifesting at all by a good story, and why would I get very far into a story I don't like? This was supposed to be the ideal time to whine about how that aversion is not going to go away. But that stupid pegasus in my head had to interfere. He knows what Rarity was doing to Dash (whoop-de-doo for him) and he insisted that I not object to this chapter. And apparently he doesn't care that he doesn't have that kind of authority; he just meddled as he saw fit until he got what he wanted. It's not like I've got a police force in there that can fly, after all.
So, yeah, I'm a bit peeved at him. And I may need to get flying mental police.

From now on, any time someone pisses me off with another poorly rendered bar scene or story that tiptoes around sexuality like a fucking after-school PSA, I'm going to tell them to read this story, and especially this chapter. That was incredible.

I don't go in for clop as a "thing" but the writing here is just phenomenal. Rainbow Dash's inner monologue? The dialogue in general? What the what.

I can only see two ways for this fic to end.
a) A lot of heartbroken and fucked up ponies who all hate each other, and Twilight gets with Luna.
b) All the issues are resolved, Twilight gets with Luna, and all the ponies involved have a massive motherfucking orgy.

I'm leaning towards B.

"Oh, no, I couldn't." Rarity laughs. "Besides, if he can't show enough initiative to come talk to me, then I'm not interested."

"Well if you don't want him, I'm gonna go make a play," Dash says, flaring her wings out.

Should've got another drink, could use some more of those.

"I beg your pardon?" Rarity cocks an eyebrow.

"I said I'm gonna make a play. Go say 'Hi'. See what he's made of."

"...For yourself?"

"Well yeah, since you can't show some initiative." Dash grins.

Meanwhile, across the room: "If she can't show enough initiative to come over and talk to me, then I'm not interested."

I wonder how many relationships never get off the ground because both parties expect the other one to do all the work as a way of 'proving' themselves.
