I vote for two
This is tough. I liked them both. I guess I'll vote for Number One because it was cute.
I guess I vote number one.
Entry one certainly had it's moments, but I have to give my vote to entry two.
I vote the second one, partially because I can actually see DT and SS having something like that as their day in the limelight, partially because it all came together so nicely, DT getting a little exposition on her disposition, Silver showing more to her existence than being someone's shadow, the two of them having friends besides eachother, a small act of not-a-complete-sociopath, and implied fun with a friend at the end.
Nice story!
I have to give my vote to #2.
I will cast my vote for Entry #2.
And voting has officially ended.
Hmm.. then I wonder like, why I fixate on their flanks?
I would love to see a sequel where Diamond introduces her new herd, stable or harem.. or MARE-em in this case
to Silver Spoon
I would just LOVE to see Rarity and AJ's reaction to this development
