In an attempt to make the butterfly migration more fun for Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy challenges her to a game of catching butterflies. But when one particularly ornery butterfly decides to tease Dash, things get personal.

I love the ending.
Lovely little story.
Laughed at how badly Rainbow Dash lost to the butterfly
I can totally see something like this happening in the show. Good job!
Now that was a very funny story.
It's cute stories like this that make me glad I'm on this site.
Hmm. Alice in Reins.
I personally enjoy We as Pony and Seventh Hour Power Nap.
Thank you.
You don't see much of anything like this anymore, especially not with this quality of writing.
I honestly get so sick of what I see featured and wonder why this kind of thing doesn't.
Thanks to you and a few others, my faith in people is slowly being restored.
4738215 Yay! Faith being restored is a good thing!
Thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. After only 2 hours, it ended up in the popular stories box, so maybe it will be the first of my stories to get featured....wouldn't that be awesome?
4738274 It would.
4738215 IKR? Featured often has crap!
4738389 I don't even like checking it anymore, because I often end up sick.
4738451 Yeah.
FLUTTERDASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my gosh!
Also, congrats on hitting the 'popular stories' section!

Have you seen the play 'You Bug Me?" This reminds me of the play.
4739717 Thanks!!
4739813 I have not. I had those old Looney Toons cartoons going through my head as I wrote this.
Well, let's see now. I like one-shots. I like FlutterDash friendshipping. I like fics that make me smile. I like a bit o' the feels. Yep, I like this. A lot.
Of course, being me, I have to be annoying and nit-picky on something, so here you go:
That should be "envelop".
Right, now that's out of the way: I liked this story very much. It felt like something out of the show. It was funny, cute, well observed, well written, you name it. And then I got to the last bit and "liked very much" changed to "loved".
/sees notification on user wall.
/reads the thanks for faving this story.
Ha! No worries mate! Yes I did enjoy the read - perfect one-shot for nighttime reading.
You capture the characters much better than RD captures butterflies
4740136 Envelop, thanks for that! I just fixed it. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much.
4740173 LOLZ!
This was simultaneously awesome and cute.
Butterflies are tricky! And they do wait until the very last second before they dodge out of the way...
Loved it! Fun and cute!
Have an upvote and a fave!
4742618 Aw...thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much.
That was actually kinda cute.
I know you told me you don't expect readers to comment, but I personally feel obliged to do so since you took the time to visit my page and thank me for favoriting this story. So, without further ado:
This was adorable.
Not quite so boring with a sleep deprived Applejack.
You know, I could see Twilight being interested in going to the concert, if for no other reason than to write an essay of the experience.
Then again, if Twilight went with RD, this little gem wouldn't have happened... 
The butterfly somehow paid the bees for their cooperation in this stunt.
I refuse to believe otherwise!
RD's smile might have disappeared, but mine keeps growing!
By the way, I second the opinions of Howling Wolves, EpicNinjaGamer (specifically, their second comment), Loganberry and Gyro Pony from previous comments.
Anyway, thanks for writing!
4746058 Thanks for this.
Seriously, this had me LOLing, especially the bit about the bees.
4753094
You're welcome.
I'm just glad I did my part to brighten up your day a little.
Alice in Reins = +2 points
This looks like it could be the nucleus of a canon episode. Very nice!
4765334 Thanks! And I would love to see them do something like this in an episode.
It would make the show 20% cooler!!
This is an excellent and fun little story. You've earned your score. Like other's have said, it is show quality.
4889884 Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
And thank you for the favorite as well.
We need more stories like this. When the butterfly flitted over to Fluttershy's net I could almost hear it blowing a little raspberry at RD.
The rare mythical 100+ likes to 0 dislikes, congrats
Too, much, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash Dawwness at the end, ahhhh!
4952063
Lol!
Thanks!
4952897
I'm glad you enjoyed the feels!
I'm pretty sure we're all aware who ya ship now BD
4998148 Cats is back!!!!
I only do friendshipping, thank you very much.
Hope you're back to stay...I really want the next chapter of your story.
Nice to see Rainbow Dash being humbled by something with a two-volt brain. (Dashie has a AA battery brain, for the record.) (
Huh?What?)
This gets an upvote.
5028536 I'm glad you liked it. And thanks for the upvote!
For some reason, I can imagine this story as an actual episode, or at least an animated short. Well done!
If this story was any sweeter and sappier, I could pour it over my pancakes come breakfast time...
I love it.
Dash certainly is remiss in her history if she accepted any challenge dealing with butterflies from Fluttershy. Did she forget how Fluttershy got her CM? Oops.
Heh...
I heard that they were playing alongside Iron Mare with their perennial fan favourites "Back in the Stable", "Flash of the Horseshoe", and "The Royal Guard".

She's just too cocky for her own good.
Nice!
Thanks for the amusing comment.
That was a great story to read! Even though Rainbow lost to the butterfly and to Fluttershy's game, it's a good thing that she made Fluttershy happy during the butterfly migration.
Loved the story. The ending was a bit abrupt, and seemed like something from a romance kind of story. Not saying you have to change it, I'm just not so sure about that sudden ending.
6332207
Well, I'm going to do a rewrite sometime that will be about three chapters long. It will start with R.D. learning of the concert and asking Fluttershy to go, then the butterfly migration, and then cover the actual concert. So that should help your issue with the abrupt ending.
6332597 no it's not an aissue I'm just not sure what to think of it. derp. It's really good, though.
6332609
This story has several issues, but it's good in its own right. I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for reading!
Don't worry about it.
