In her longest and most thought-out and effort-filled setup yet, Rainbow Dash has the perfect prank set up for her friend Rarity. However, once the prank is in its execution, Rainbow Dash realizes perhaps the pony she was pranking wasn't Rarity just for one night, but herself for all these weeks of setup.
Story inspired by the coverart (MisterDavey on Tumblr/DeviantArt) and by Fyeten, my amazing pre-reader and editor. Give her a round of applause for being the only reason I'm a half-decent writer.

That was absolutely brilliant. I loved it from beginning to end.
Great job.

Round here, we're carving out our names
Round here, we all look the same
Round here, we talk just like lions but we sacrifice like lambs
Round here, she's slippin' through my hands

I'm a big Counting Crows fan, so I like the title and chapter name. The story is pretty good too, even if RariDash isn't usually really very high on my shipping list. Imagining the look on Rarity's face when she went into that room cracks me up.
I find this to be a funny and kinda cute story. Spending so much time to pretend to love someone and real affection comes out, I like it. This was a very clever little idea. Nice work.
Like the cover art. Good job keep up the good work!!
nice trick for the title and chapter heading. i also found the song.
cute n creepy lulz

Uh, sure. I don't mind.
Ooooh my heart!!!! That was so adorables iI'm gonna die!
I have to say... I like that Rarity didn't instantly reciprocate Rainbow Dash's feelings. Stories like that are nice, but this felt so much more organic to me. Very nicely done.
She said "hey, what's the problem baby?" What's the problem I think that I'm in love (love) I think about it every time I think about it, can't stop thinkin bout it!
How much longer will it take to cure this, just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)
It makes me wanna turn and face me but I don't know nothin bout love! Uh-awh awh!
Come on come on, turn a little faster!
Come on come on, the world will follow after!
Come on come on, cause everybody's after luuuh-uh-uh-ove!
Awwwww~
I feel like Dash could've done well to reveal the prank more clearly and give a more detailed explanation about the difference between that and her new, true feelings. It's a bit hard to believe that Rarity understood the nature of the prank so easily once revealed, unless you assume that she'd already considered the possibility. None less, I'm glad she's "willing to try" in the end. As a previous commenter mentioned, it's nice sometimes to have a more realistic ending to these confession/revelation-of-feelings stories in which the subject of affections is not blown head over heels at the drop of a hat, rather she's nervous and perhaps somewhat skeptical but willing to try for her friend. I like this one; quirky and cute.
Thanks for writing!
Well that's just, like, her opinion man.
Great story!
