    Soarin, flyer of the Wonderbolts loves pies. He will travel the length and breadth of Equestria for one worthy of his pallet.

    At the Grand Galloping Gala he noticed the Ultimate Pie, and now must go on a journey to see if he can claim it for his own.

    I congratulate you on your interesting idea for a shipfic! I shall now read it.

    EDIT:

    Not bad, has potential. Need to work on your grammar a bit. Noticed some missing commas, misspelled words, and other mishaps here and there.

    Like the tone of the story and I will enjoy reading more of it later on.

    Overall I thought this was a nice start. I have two complaints though:

    1) Several grammatical errors throughout the story (the first one happens 2 words in; it should be "Three pegasi" not "Three Pegasus"

    2) The way it's written suggests that there are only three Wonderbolts,but there's definitely more than three of them in the show. Here's six:

    With that being said, I do like the premise of it and I'm curious to see where it goes.

    YEEEEEEEEEEES!

    You had me at the description! :pinkiehappy:

    Edit: Not bad. I'll keep an eye on this.

    And that plothole GreyCapstan pointed out is kind of big, but then again, maybe they're doing shows that only require three Wonderbolts?

    Either way, could do with some tweaking.

    >>744945 yeah, he always has had trouble with grammar, but nothing other than that really, aside from the grammar, gcsmith is an amazing author, and has even inspired me to be better at my own writing, plus he's inspired me to start reading fan fics for youtube, like mic the microphone does

    >>746194 well the thing is, hie stories are never all that popular, even the really really good ones, like the EqD worthy ones, not sure why though, could just be the fact  that they always follow the same plot lines, mostly romance, there's hardly ever any kind of adventure hie stories, its kind of a shame

    speaking of which, i just snagged an idea out of my brain for an adventure hie story, with all oc characters, it'll be a bitch to write, but hey, it'll be something new

    oh and dont EVER discredit yourself, artemis is awesome, and im really looking forward to the next chapter

    Heh, well EQD wont accept mine so I wont send it in.

    And I have removed the romance and more adventure will be coming.

    Either way Glad your liking this story, having to put out chapter two soon since this story is far more popular than I thought it would be.

    1.) eqd doesnt take unfinished stories anyway, so finish it so we can be happy

    2.) i did notice the adventure starting to poke its head out, keep it up

    3.) everyone loves a good shipfic, especially when its a mane 6 with a non mane 6, at least i do anyway, never liked any of the appledash, or pinkieshy kinda ships

    Well personally while I may read a mane 6/mane 6 fic, Ill never write a same sex shipping. So non mane 6 is all I have to work with.

    And EQD do take unfinished stories, hence the story updates postings, just my HiE has him being mentioned watching the show so they wont accept it.

    I've only seen the Soarin' x Pinkie Pie ship done a few times in fan art. As for Rainbow- shit happens. Pinkie in an inclosed area with snobs, we all know where this is going. It's like throwing a lit packet of fire crackers in a room of Vietnam war veterans with post traumatic stress disorder, It'll be funny and wrong at the same time.

    Yay! I was sort of hoping that they were going see pinkie and rainbow when they watched the DvD but I guess it would probably be  more like a reenactment and possibly somewhat embellished like many of our "based on a true story" movies.

    To be fair it's not like he invited Pinkie to a rugby game or an international soccer gamer, over there her behavior would be considered calm as the stadium tears itself apart from drunken fist fighting at the end of the game.

    To bad Applejack can't fly, I could just see her catching up above rainbow and suddenly singing,

    "Pinkie and Soarin, sitting in a tree

    K-I-S-S-I-N-G

    first comes love,

    then comes marriage

    then comes scootaloo in a baby carriage"

    oh, one minor thing though, I think a couple quotation marks got away from ya, over in this paragraph, I put them in red, I know its sort of weird to have quotes within quotes but I am pretty sure they belong.

    "Yes, indeedy, however, when they saw I got given an expensive ticket they didn't want me to waste the opportunity." said Pinkie. "They also said it was, and I quote,  "it's sweet you have a stallion interested in you." I have no idea what they meant." Pinkie's apparent lack of awareness of the situation caused Rarity to giggle like a little school girl.
