Rainbow Dash never did finish trying to break the Equestria Ball-Bouncing record. Rarity, though, is unimpressed and thinks she can do better. This is not a serious work of literature. Cover image by Valcron.
Basically a followup to Dragonshy, like Cloven Hearts and Cloudy Hooves was a followup to Hearts and Hooves Day, although this one is set quite a while after the episode instead of beginning the very next day. And is less serious.
THe title made me chuckle, first
Starts off slow at first, but then it gets hilarious.
If it weren't for a couple of details, I'd say this could definitely work as an episode.
Wow, this story is amazing so far! Perfect characterization of Rarity and Rainbow Dash!
I love you for including the double-inside-out loop reference.
On to the third chapter . . .
Poor Twilight, LOL.
486738 I've read that Rainbow Dash is probably supposed to be attempting a double inside-out loop at the beginning of Read it and Weep and that's why she crashes, so it may not be totally accurate to call it out of style, but it just made more sense to use that than to make up some random move name. (Or maybe she's being petty about it?)
I think you mean 'pure pleasure of a properly-perpetrated prank'.
Also, Zecora needs to get in on this. She at least stands a chance, given her pole-balancing skills.
Pinkie *sigh* ya can't just go around walking on air like that. You have to at least be discreet about it. The 4th Wall is already annoyed with you and ya don't need Physics upset with you as well. Take it easy ok?
Rarity: Forgive me Thunderlane.
Thunderlane: Huh?
Rarity: YEEEE HAAAWWW!
C'mon Scoots It ain't sneaking if the target knows you're there, it becomes awkward stalking . Although I guess give 'em enough time and they'll know they're being followed.
At first-> Where's this ball goin? Then-> All over Equestria that's where!
Hoo boy. that contest kinda spun out of control didn't it. I mean the only pony that used their own ball was Luna. Unless Celestia was using her own and not Rarity's. That was freakin hilarious Vi. And random appearance of Chrysalis and if I'm not mistaken those are the R63 names. Crazy list of appearances but how come there were no random humans?
Anyway loved it.
This was adorable. I loved the image when I first saw it and I love what you've done to expand on it. The nod to the 64th rune was nice too. (Why is there no pony wink emoticon?)
Definitely gonna check out your other works.
I liked this right up to the last paragraph. But I *really* don't like the last paragraph. :/
You really need to write more Twi/Gate. The tiny glimpse at them interacting here is wonderful, but not nearly enough to quench the insatiable need you somehow gave me.
Anyway yeah, glad I ran across this a year ago, following you ever since has been a pleasure. Thank you.
2507109 I agree. My proper Twigate-centric story was started in September 2011, and I've barely made any progress on it since then because it focuses on two distinct time periods and I haven't found a good way of making that pleasant to read. :(
Hahaha XD
This is a wonderful description :3.
Not 'often peaceful', 'frequently peaceful'. Which implies regular intervals of 'not-peaceful-at-all' XD.
That's just too confusing :P. I'm gonna leave that one alone.
She, like, the perfect pranking companion!
Ahahahaha XD
Ahaha! Oh, that was hilarious!
I totally have to draw a Rainbow Dash ball now XD
Aha XD
For the treacherous path that was socially acceptable behaviour for a lady, which Rarity walked with style and grace .
I'm starting to think that Rarity might not mind being saved from certain death so much after all XD.
D'aww :).
I love Rainbow Dash's fashion critique :3.
Ahaha XD
This is the best scene XD. Why not more people read such a story as this?
But it just gets better! XD
And then...
And then!
Ahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha
Yeah, I totally called this one XD.
(I mean, in my head... but it still counts!)
I was kinda didn't realise this was the conclusion
(I was expecting Raridash as my cue for the closing credits and got Twigate instead XD).
These two are wonderful .
great story so far. i never thought one could write a full lentgh serious story about bouncing a ball on your head. good job
But who won?!
This... started off fun in chapter 1; continued being fun in chapter 2; and then got completely ridiculous and hilarious in chapter 3. Magnificent. I can't believe that silly throwaway line in Dragonshy prompted a... silly throwaway yet completely awesome fic such as this :)
