    Spitfire has only met Rainbow Dash a few times, but something about this lightning-fast pegasus has stayed on Spitfire's mind. Was it the fact that Rainbow Dash saved her life? Was it her steadfast determination to realize her dream of being in the Wonderbolts? Either way, Spitfire's going to find out, and all it takes is the Wonderbolts' next off weekend...

    DashFire and AppleSoar? Somewhat over-used, but whatevs! xD (You could argue that they're only over-used because they work so well!  xD)

    I will have to say that this was way to short because it was so good! Seriously though nicely written. It probably does help that I'm one for spitfire and dash.

    although i think rainbow would primarily want to fly with a wonderbolt instead of sleep with one, they both have alot in common, kinda like appledash . Good so far :rainbowdetermined2:

    This is another story that people ask for a sequel a lot. It was written awhile ago now and I had no plans to write a sequel, but... eh, you never know.

    I certainly would love a sequel; this was very well written, the dialogue was spot-on, the awkwardness, laughs, and Dawww's were perfect. This needs more reads, it truly deserves it.

    Whoah, using full names a lot up in here. In the descriptive text, you needn't (and shouldn't) use a character's full name all the time. After Spitfire got to RD's house you wrote out the full "Rainbow Dash" like twelve times. Lighten it up a bit and make it infinitely less redundant by referring to her as just "Rainbow" or "Dash." Maybe it's too soon for Spitfire to be referring to her aloud as either of these effective "nicknames", but the descriptive text isn't bound by the rules of propriety.

    Spitfire knew she needed to move Rainbow Dash, so she picked Rainbow Dash up and walked into her house with her.

    This line perfectly showcases what I'm talking about. There's absolutely no reason to be referring to RD by her full name in the same sentence (literally three words separate them, so it's even more redundant). Use something like "the other pegasus" in place of the second time her name is used, instead. We already know the only pony Spitfire would be picking up is RD, so why tell us a second time?

    Uh... sorry hehe. I get distracted when I'm writing sometimes and don't realize that I'm saying something over and over and over again. I usually catch things like that in my revision, but apparently that one's still a bit choppy. My mistake... I'm usually pretty good about that.

    And now we write a branch fic where the terrible predator Spitfire does terrible things to the innocent and helpless Rainbow Dash. :rainbowwild: No, seriously, NO ONE would want to read that, but you did leave the best pegasus in a horribly compromising position! Poor girl....

    I loved this story. Storm was a great antagonist. The ship felt too easy at first, but that played perfectly into RD's insecurities later. And the side story with AJ and Soren was cute, too. Overall, great work! :rainbowkiss:

    “And what makes you think I have a crush on Rainbow Dash?” Spitfire asked.

    “You just told me that you don’t remember her, but you know her name.”

    Very well done!  I believe that a sequel is in order for this here story.  I should really make a group just for stories that are in need of sequels.  I have been thinking about trying to write one myself but I don't think that I would quite do the original any justice.  Anyway, great story and keep up the great writing!

    Awsome and the only problem is that there is a part 2 and it is increadably sad (but if you think about it its not really a p2 cos its not the same person). Spitfire:heart:Dashi

         I just got done reading the second part.  You are right, that is very sad.  Now, I really want to read more from this story line.  But, I disagree with your thought as to it not really being a part 2.  It may not be by the same author, but it is a direct continuation of this story here.  Thanks again for showing it to me.
