This is quite the cute story, keep this up!

*foams for mmouth from to much cute.*

This was great, so I added it to a bunch of groups. :twilightsmile:

Daaaaaw.:heart:

Dinky is the only filly that is as cute as Filly Twilight in my eyes.

I don't know why, but Oogie Boogie seems almost tailor made (ha!) to be an MLP villain.

Now this is just such a cute little story and really well put together too :twilightsmile:

5098684 I'd love to see that

This was really cute...

5098684 Funny, more disturbing than a kid's villain has any right to, and a defeat that is rather horrifying (explicitly or implicitly)?
Definitely MLP villain-esque.

Um, if mature is turned off, you're featured right now.

I turned on mature, an' there were a buncha mature stories 'bout humans an' alicorns there instead. That's kinda one of the reasons I leave it off...

This was good. And cute.

Have you read The New York Magican, by any chance? That's what Dinky's thoughts on seeing hidden things made me think of.

This story is a great addition to Rated 'E' for Everyone. Well done!

This is a sweet story. And it makes sense for a verse like MLP to have little critters in charge of dust.

Utterly adorable. Dinky at her very best! You deserve a like and a fave for this!

I really really really loved this! The curious Dinky dynamic is expressed wonderfully and evenly throughout and in prose that we would expect from a child's thoughts, even touching briefly on talents and Cutie Marks. It expresses a minor conflict (nopony believing her) but not in a way that detracts from the majority of the narrative, and gives a number of tiny other conflicts that all lead up to her finding the creature. Dinky was extremely relatable, and the part where she's hiding had me unable to look away, almost like "If I move, she won't find out!" which was really intense and a fantastic experience. Like and a favorite from me! :heart::twilightsmile::pinkiehappy:

5099227 It's there now even with mature on. I'll give this a go later, I think; we get too few Everyone stories on this site.

I request, no DEMAND, moar of this story!

Here you go (hands jou a well deserved like):pinkiehappy:

Headcanon special talent for Dinky accepted

BRD

Is just me? or is a MLP and Spiderwick Chronicles crossover? :applejackunsure:

Lets hope Dinky doesn't write a book about hidden things like Mr. Spiderwick did. :pinkiegasp:

Button Mash believed in her (and had offered her a substantial bounty if she could bring him proof of what he called the “Random Number Princess” which he insisted was somehow different from Princess Fortuna.)

:rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

Nice. That was clever.

5103090 "Random Number Princess" is a reference to the "Random Number Generator" in video games. In essence it's a digital dice roll- roll the dice and hope and pray for the "RNG (Random Number God, RNJesus etc.)" to find favor in you to gift you with whatever item you want.

Button Mash plays video games, hence he would certainly like to catch the RNG to have a few "polite words" with it. As would many others.

Did that explain it?

I LOVE Dinky! It's true children are smarter, but she takes it to a new level!

Random number goddess? Is he talking about Anna?

5113613 She is the "random number generator" or "RNG" goddess of the series Fire Emblem.

Honestly though, she is a reacuring character is the series and the fans have given her that title.

5113740 Nice! That's pretty funny. Thanks for replying.

Well that was just all kinds of adorable, and just fires up the imagination about this being related to Dinky's special talent. Dinky Doo, expert in fae and other hidden creatures and spirits.

Very cute, I especially love the different beings Dinky mentions.:twilightsmile:

'Member when I said this was really cute, an' going in Twilight's Library? It's still really cute, and it's going in Tag-a-long's Book Club, too.

Dinky's question got me to stop reading and Google "dust bunny formation." Still, I get the feeling there's going to be more to Equestria's aggregate fluffballs than static electricity.

How did you turn a hayburger into a math problem?

Well, that depends. What part of the hayburger?

In all, this was a great story of the folklore of childhood, that blend of superstition and fey creatures that seems to have no clear source beyond some juvenile zeitgeist. Also, it starred best filly, which is always worth points in my book. Great stuff. On to the sequel.

Wait, I think I figured it out! Princess Fortuna and Princess Random Number are the Royal Sisters of Fate! Fortuna's the older one, and has almost no tolerance for 'unfair interference' with the outcome of games. Random Number, however, rolls up her sleeves and goes, 'Oh, you want to play THAT way huh? CRITICAL HIT THIS!' Or to put it another way, Princess Random Number welcomes and/or requires player input before performing the Calculations of Fate that determine how outcomes go in games. Princess Fortuna - wait...

I think we might need a third Sister of Fate to make this whole random-fate-dealyo bit work out... Hmmm... I'll let somepony else work that out.

Cute as a... well, a Dinky. I look forward to the sequel!

I did a audio reading of this story and the Sequel i hope you enjoy it

One thought, regarding Dust Bunny.

“I lose track. Mostly because the spiders and mice are so much fun to talk to.”

I find it amusing that a 2-3 inch tall pegasus is less scared of spiders than the average >5-foot human.

Fun little story, but the cover pic is just a bit confusing, since it appears to show some sort of Dinky crush that is not in evidence at all.

Nice story, nothing wrong with it at all. Though, can't say it made a very strong impression on me either.
