"Hmmm-hmmm-hmmmm..."

Pinkie Pie bounced along, her eyes happily shut.

Mane and tail-flouncing, she merrily made her way down Ponyville's Main Street.

"Hmm-hmmm-hmmmmmm... remember me to one who lives therrrrre..."

On a dime—she stopped, her body vibrating like a struck stop sign.

"Huh?" Her nostrils flared in the morning crispness. "I smell a Dashie."

Pinkie Pie turned around, squinting. At long last, her scanning eyes spotted a blue figure buying edible flowers at a vendor.

"I do!" Pinkie cheered. "I do smell a Dashie!" Swooosh! She zipped over by the pegasus' side. "Good morning, Rainbow! Whatcha doinnnnnn'?"

"Mrmmmff..." A bleary-eyed Rainbow finished hoofing a few bits over to the vendor and stuffing the breakfast into her saddlebag.

"Well, that's easy for you to say!" Pinkie giggle-snorted. "Me? I like to get all my 'mrmmmff' out of the way the night before so that way I can get lots of stuff done in a day! But, as a daily 'mrmmmffer', I can admittedly get exhausted with the hobby from time to time. Heeheehee...!"

Rainbow Dash said nothing. She turned tail, teetered slightly, and trotted straight past Pinkie Pie.

The party mare blinked. "Say... uhhhh..." She turned and hopped after the pegasus. "You don't have to spend those bits for a simple snack! Just come on over to Sugarcube Corner! I'll give you some munchies on the house!" She winked in mid-bounce. "I'll even open early just for you, Dashie!"

Rainbow Dash sighed. She continued trotting.

"Dashie?" Pinkie Pie squinted, hobbling after her. "Helloooooooo? Cat got your uvula?"

"I'm busy, Pinkie Pie," Rainbow finally grumbled.

"Busy? Busy with what? Can't be so busy that good ol' Pinkie Pie can't lend a hoof!"

"I'm really really busy."

"Yeah? And? I can be really really helpful! Heeheehee!"

Rainbow growled, then breathed: "You know what? You can help me."

"Of course! Just name it!"

"I've... uh... misplaced my coconuts," Rainbow muttered. "I think I left them on the counter the last time I visited Sugarcube Corner."

"Oh really?! Want me to fetch them for you?"

"Yeah. Sure." Rainbow trotted along.

"Can do, Dasharooni! Just wait right here!" Zoooooooooom! Pinkie Pie vanished in a streak.

Seconds ticked by.

And then...

Zooooooom! Pinkie reappeared, skidding to a stop. "Waitttttttttt a second!" She frowned into midair. "There hasn't been a single coconut in Sugarcube Corner for months! I should know! I personally monitor Mr. And Mrs. Cake's Daily Coconut Counter!"

Silence.

"Dashie?"

More silence.

Pinkie looked around. "Dashie?" There was no sign of the pegasus. "Huh... I didn't just dream a grumpy, bleary-eyed Rainbow Dash again, did I?"

Well, that's ONE way to distract a party pony.

On another note, we're only like six chapters away from 1,000 chapters, and thusly the halfway point in the story.

IF Skirts is taking this epic to 2,000 chapters, that is.

And, as long as this story has been going on, I have absolutely NO reason to believe that he won't.

[Hestia]

Rainbow Dash, stop avoiding your friends!

[MidnightReflection]

Now that's not exactly Loyalty, Rainbow.

[Khao]

"Huh... I didn't just dream a grumpy, bleary-eyed Rainbow Dash again, did I?"

again

why even

[Jern]

"Huh... I didn't just dream a grumpy, bleary-eyed Rainbow Dash again, did I?"

Nope, we've been reading about a grumpy, bleary-eyed Rainbow Dash for over a million words now Pinky.

Also, Pinky is best Tweety Bird.

[fourths]

Don't be an ass, Dash. It's unbecoming of you.

[zaponator]

Aww... rude.

[Phoenix Kitten]

Aww, c'mon Dash. don't be mean to Pinks.
Don't go around burning bridges just cause you're leaving town.

[DrEggnog]

I always wondered how much money that kid got just to whisper "zoom zoom".

[Sam the Anti-Ninja]

7378891 True. But trying to define an individual by a single virtue is an exercise in futility. And last I checked, none of the Elements were exactly paragons of their respective virtues. (Except Fluttershy, but she's pretty much pony Jesus.)

[Dash32]

Mazda: Zoom, Zoom. BULLSHIT!!

Oh and awesome story

[Folomo]

And finally I am up to date. To relax and start reading slow... (/Looks at accumulated chapters of Austraeoh and other stories)

Eh, Fluttershy sometimes falls out of her element, too. Example being the Gala in Season 1. She gets aggressive sometimes while Rainbow gets more anxious.

[Shotgunmerc]

7379649 To be fair, if we're comparing fluttershy to Jesus, Jesus did have a moment where he rage flipped tables in a market. So in that sense, they're even XD

[WhitewolfStormrunner]

7379150 True.

But, speaking, just for myself, I'D like to know for sure what happened to ot.

[BabySkittleMonster]

I completely understand Rainbow here. For once. I too must battle the urge to kill this nearest to me upon first encountering them in the morning. Although I admit Dash sounds far more intelligent with her mmmrffs than I do with my gruuuughhhmmfffuughs.

[Mares-a-Mares]

7379747
Haha, I guess that's true. XD

I don't think anyone is doubting if he can get this story up to 2,000 chapters. I believe the more important question is how far he will go until he stops. Utaan is already approaching its 300th chapter, which is 50% larger than originally planned. Who can say he won't follow suit and write an extra thousand or so Appledashery chapters.

[Boop-Happy Lass]

That was rude, Dash. >:(

Though she reminds me a little of myself...

a little.
