The sexiest man you've ever met.

Rainbow Dash knows one thing for sure, she is definitely not a barbarous, uncivilized dolt who doesn't know polite conversation from a hippopotamus's rear end. And also that she's definitely not the one who's wrong. Rarity is wrong. Rainbow Dash is absolutely, totally, a hundred percent sure of it.

But then why did Rainbow just buy a wagon load of apology bouquets?

This is the best RariDash story ever. And absolutely hilarious.

Everyone needs to read it. So I'm going to make sure that they do.

There is no escape.

........there's already two downvotes.
This kind of thing never fails to leave me perplexed

I'm sorry, but if you downvote this, you have no soul. This is hilarious and I look forward to more!

I've come to the conclusion Rainbow is half-bird, half-cat: no other species can replicate that attitude

I chuckled all the way through. Oh, Rainbow Dash. :rainbowlaugh:

I can practically taste the grumpy grumbleness bleeding out of Rainbow's totally not uncivilized existence.

And it's kinda delicious.

Another, please.

4410101 Well she did want to be a gryphon. :rainbowwild:

I would quote something that made me laugh, but then I'd be quoting the whole damn story. Awesome story, man. I can't wait for more. :rainbowkiss:

Oh my God, this is the cutest thing ever.

This got featured insanely fast, and damn I'm happy for that.

Kudos, man.

Absolutely love this kind of narration style, and I think you've totally nailed Dash's voice. Can't wait for the next chapter! :twilightsmile:

This is hilarious. :rainbowlaugh: I love the narration.

This is really quite sweet.
And it's got Rarity! Shipped with Rainbow Dash!

That's three out of three mate, you're killing it :raritywink:

...'Because Rainbow Dash is tsundere' sums up the story, plot, grammar, and relevance.

I don't ship RariDash, but I liked this. This is well-written and a beautiful character piece.

Upvoted, faved. Also, you gave me an idea I've GOT to work with now. :trollestia:

4411247 Well, you see, this story involves Rarity and Rainbow Dash in a romantic couple. Some readers might not be interested in that, and therefore would be likely to give this story a miss. Even though I'm not interested in that pairing, the description interested me enough to read it. I read it, I liked it, I upvoted and faved it, even though I don't ship those two characters. So yes, it does have something to do with reading the story and liking or disliking it.
4411269 And while it's true that abusing the downvote system to diss fics that feature a pairing you don't like is lame, you seem to have a massive chip on your shoulder about this issue. I suggest you calm down, let everybody else do them, and you do you. Okay? Okay. :twilightsmile:

This is gonna be a two-parter? Doesn't seem like it going to be a long story.

4411298 I'm talking about when people thumbs down for a name(I'm looking at you, anon in equestria writers) or because it didn't have their OTP. Also, I don't have a chip on my shoulder...seriously, look how few thumbs there are there? If there were, I dunno, ten more it wouldn't seem like someone disliked it to be a prick. You know what I'm talking about? Those stories with 300 likes and one dislike?

I like this! Can't wait for the next chapter.

So if you are the only person to dislike something, your opinion is automatically invalid because you're obviously biased? Would it be so unbelievable for someone to genuinely dislike something that's liked by the majority of readers?

I'm saying it because I've been one of the very few dislikes in some heavily liked stories before, and they're dislikes I've given after giving the story a chance, (sometimes more than one,) and I'm often left wondering what other people see in the story that I don't. And it's not like I get into them expecting to dislike them.

So yeah, right now, you're just making baseless assumptions. I'm not saying there's not people out there that do what you're saying, but to complain about any dislikes because you're already assuming that's always the case... Yeah, you might want to double-check that shoulder.

It's already done?! What was even the point of breaking something this small into two chapters?! Doesn't this guy know anything?!

People can down vote stories for all kinds of reasons. If every up vote is earned, then so is every down vote. I like to think they read the story and had a genuine grievance with it. Maybe they didn't, but I prefer to assume they did, because down voting without reading or without reason would be silly.

I'd also prefer if they'd leave a quick comment explaining what their grievance is, so I could try to avoid doing whatever it was they didn't like again in the future. But if they don't, that's fine too. It's no tragedy.

That was such a sweet ending. Such a beautiful story. Thank you for writing something so lovely and sharing it with all of us. :pinkiehappy:

Dash is a cute tsundere. :rainbowkiss:

Both mares exemplified not only their own greatest element of friendship, but the other's as well:
Rainbow Dash's loyalty drove her beyond her pride to make right the wrong she did to her best friend, and opened her heart, giving herself unselfishly to Rarity's mercy.
Rarity, in her turn, stood by Rainbow Dash and welcomed her back into her heart with open hooves, giving her the gift of tenderness, and turned what might have been a punishment into a stronger bond.

The writing captures Dash's loyal heart hidden behind a gruff façade, and through her narration paints both her own loyalty and Rarity's generosity. Good pacing, excellent characterization; the secondary characters provide enough of themselves to act as foils to Dash.

That was sweet and heartwarming story, just what I needed at the close of the day.

This has quite possibly been the funniest story I have ever read that remained sweet throughout the entire thing. Nearly every line had me laughing or dawwing, sometimes both at the same time. You are a champion, my friend.

4411854 I'm not making baseless assumptions, I'm saying when there's only one dislike, it seems fishy/trollish.

Yes. 'A bath' is all that Rarity has planned. Rainbow is so blissfully unaware that Rarity is wanting her to take a bath just so they cm have sex together. Congrats on writing a ship fic that contained suggestive themes here and there but NEVER used the word sex. I tip my hat, sir. :moustache:

I'll just repeat what I said previously, when I edited it:

This story was wonderful. It made me smile and laugh. I had to share a few lines of it with a friend, just because they made me laugh that much.

This is a really great story. If this doesn't win the contest then they deserve to have a big storm pound them and drown all their garden-somethings and ruin their not-alien-dipped-in-chocolates.

This was amazing. Rainbow felt just ... perfectly Rainbow all the way through. I was happy to see Rarity being so gracious there at the end, too. A positively-written Rarity is always welcome.

I have exactly one story with exactly one downvote; I don't know what it is for, but that's alright, I suppose. I don't really feel suspicious about downvotes in general; while some people do just downvote things out of spite (which happens the most in the feature box) it isn't super duper common, and a lot of the time people downvote for actual reasons which they don't articulate, I suspect in part to avoid confrontations with authors or having to actually justify their opinions. That doesn't necessarily mean that their opinions are valuable or worthwhile in every case, but they usually do have some reason for doing it.

Though it WOULD be interesting to see if the admins could scare up statistics on what percentage of downvotes are given without reading even one chapter of a story.

Really the reason downvotes seem so odd is that it is actually pretty rare for people to read a story that they have a good chance of not liking; this is part of why I have such a ridiculous voting history, because I do things like go and read a bunch of fics about a given subject (today, for instance, I read a whole bunch of RariDash fics because I wanted to say that this was the only RariDash fic I actually liked) because I want to see if, you know, maybe I'm wrong about my tastes.

If I don't try new things, I'll never find out if I like them or not. Chances are good that if something sounds bad, it IS bad, but sometimes you're wrong. And I, being the person that I am, do try out new things.

That means, however, that I end up trying a bunch of things which I was right about being bad. And then, I downvote them.

Now, to be entirely fair, I also have really high standards, which is the other side of the coin. Part of this is probably just the fact that I just have very high standards for everything, but part of it is also most likely that because I try out so many things, I end up finding good things as well, and that means that it just reinforces my high standards as I can point to things and be like "This is a thing of beauty, and therefore I am right in holding high standards because this is beyond all else."

I not infrequently downvote stories which have enormous numbers of upvotes.

That being said, everyone who downvotes THIS story clearly needs to have their humor modules checked.

Because I've read most of the other RariDash stories of note because I wanted to see if that statement was true.

The only significant RariDash story I haven't read at least a few chapters of is Salvation.

4412348
I'll take your word for it. I have never read any RariDash whatsoever, so forgive me if I am a little cautious. XP

I ship myself with this fic

Rainbow Dash is sweet and tough, like a jawbreaker. I think she'd like that.

Of course, if she didn't, she might just break your jaw.

Congrats on top of the box, Hoof! :rainbowwild:

I told you you had nothing to worry about :raritywink:

Flitter, you idiot horse!

Utterly adorable and a great read. You got inside Rainbow Dash's head perfectly and kept the story flowing wonderfully. The cameos in the first chapter of everyone who instantly got the point made me smile, and Rainbow eventually (reluctantly) coming around to admitting that okay, yeah, she screwed up... it was perfect.

Beautiful piece of work and it's instantly become one of my favourites on all of F-List. Keep it up!

No, you're thinking of "Tsundere". That's when someone is all like "I'm not dong this because I like you, okay?! I just FELT LIKE IT!" Example:
fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/222/b/c/100__tsundere_by_neogoki-d5ak58n.jpg

Yandere is entirely different. That's when someone is so in-love, they start getting creepy and insane. If Rainbow were yandere, she'd be tying up Rarity, she'd kill Trenderhoof and Blueblood, then she'd probably do something else that's also creepy and illegal. Example:
fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/330/d/e/yandere_yurippe_by_bdog375-d6vqu0n.jpg

You know, usually I don't read "d'aw" stories. Mostly because any writing with the only purpose to make me feel tender and stuff is probably going to be pretty bad, A story needs something more, I think.

And dude, this one has it.

And it's weird, given my dislike for cutesy-wootesy stories, but the thing that I liked the most in this one is not the comedy but the cute factor. Like, really, I'm still baffled by that. Don't get me wrong, I liked the comedy, and this is clearly a very funny story, but somehow you made Dash explaining Sweetie Belle how she nailed her sister a very cute scene.

So yeah, kudos again. I really liked this one. Reminded me of why I follow you.

This was the cutest RariDash I have ever read.
:rainbowkiss:
Have you read Salvation?

I want to like this, really I do, but I'm torn. The style and narration is unique and hilarious to read, but it keeps going to "white guy in an infomercial" levels of derp. Rainbow, you can't even carry all of those flowers or those baked goods and how did an old apple cart filled with luggage break a door frame? Why did nobody stop her before she managed to get 3 steps inside?

Thinking about the dinner scene... I'm even more torn. It's Schrodingers dinner party. I both cannot fathom and can literally hear in my head the dinner party scene. Rainbow wouldn't do that. Nobody is that stupid. But prideful and headstrong! No, nobody could be that dumb, under any circumstances. I bet she stirred around a bowl of macaroni salad as one of her sound effects. I think I just gained some insight into your writing style. I'm not sure I like it.

:pinkiecrazy:

This was some funny Rainbow Dash. And the end was amazingly cute. :heart:

A perfect little story to read with a hot cup of tea :twilightsmile:

This story made me laugh great deal. The upvote and favorite were well deserved. Raridash is easily the least popular mane6 ship but you make it work. The mind of Rainbow Dash is certainly an interesting place.

Sex in the tub is the best!

...is what I would say if it actually happened to me :fluttercry:
