    To most of Ponyville, Rainbow Dash is a single child.

    To Rainbow Dash, she's the youngest of a set of fraternal twins. Her twin is one she'd rather forget, but when she shows up in Ponyville, it could get messy. How will Rainbow react to seeing a relative she'd sooner deny all existence for than claim to be related?

    The use of "Dash" as Daring's last name was a bit too much IMO. I mean, surnames seem to come and go in Equestria (like how there's no "Sparkle" in "Shining Armor"), and it just sounds kinda weird...

    But that's just my nitpicking; I love the concept, and it's a very solid first chapter. Please do continue :twilightsmile:

    "How will Rainbow react to seeing a relative she'd sooner deny all existence for than claim to be related?" The solution is obvious: Kill the other twin! :rainbowlaugh:

    If you ask me having Fluttershy break up their fight was weak.

    Having Fluttershy solve their problems should be a last resort and the idea

    that Fluttershy can make anything cower in fear just by raising her voice is a little absurd.

    Thats at least what I think. Having the two fight it out and then solve their own problems would

    of made for a better scenario.

    I liked it. But it seemed to solve itself a little too quickly. :applejackunsure: I would have liked it more if there was some good drama between the two and maybe if they didn't try to kill each other at first glance...then yea.

    But it was enjoyable anyway :twilightsmile:

    I agree that their confrontation ended too quickly.

    On another note, this story's concept is full of win. I will commence tracking.

    >>975438 That would solve everything! It'd be easy to get rid of the twin since no one knows you have one! Especially if they have a habit of going to dangerous places! It also made me have flashbacks to my mother's soap opera's...

    >>976211

    Now that I look at it, I can see why it looks like it ended too quickly. Guess I didn't notice since I had already written out the main parts of the next chapter, and cut off the first chapter before anything really revealing between the sisters happened.

    As for the fighting between the two, there's more to it. They only stopped for the moment so they can talk it out later, or beat the crap out of each other in this case.

    It's more like they're following the, Behave when mom is looking, but after she makes us hug and walks away, I'm going to kill you, rule. :scootangel:

    Agreed, here; adding the Dash to the end of her name just smacks of unoriginality. What's the point of artificially lengthening her name like that? I can see wanting the authoritative factor of addressing someone by their first, middle and last names, I suppose. Still, even considering that, it just sounds really stupid. :facehoof:

    I found one mistake that bugs me the most.

    Rainbow Dash froze as the voice registered in my mind.

    The corrected version should be 'Rainbow Dash froze as the voice registered in her mind.'

    wow. this is incredibly original. i think the problem helps itself out too much, but :flutterrage: breaking apart a fight isn't exactly impossible. she is often a mediator.  :pinkiehappy:

    also, i think that this was inspired when dash said "i'm with you sister" after she broke her wing and in the book, daring do broke her wing. :pinkiesmile:

    deductive reasoning, anyone? :duck:

    Is this Alternate Universe?

    The story image implies that Dash's idol, Daring Do, is the sister she wants to forget.

    According to canon that makes no sense.

    It was pretty clear that Daring had quite a bit of Dash's personality. I initially attributed that to Dash's personality asserting its self in the imaginary world she created when reading the series, but I suppose you could stretch that enough for it to be Daring using her sister as one of the fictional (meta!) Daring's inspirations.

    Great story! Very similar to Sister's Do:derpyderp2:, but quite a bit more lighthearted, would love to read more!:rainbowlaugh:

    One slight inconsistency:  the description refers do Daring as Rainbow's "twin" but the story refers to Daring as the older sister at least twice.

    Unless she's only a few minutes older or something :rainbowderp:

    I did not watch that episode before getting the inspiration for this story. That is purely coincidence. And this is most certainly not a suspiciously specific denial... What makes you say that? OxO

    >>1013700

    I was drawing from my experience with my many twin cousins and my own honorary one (Same birthday, hospital, year and everything). They love lording it over their twin that they're older (Ha! I'm older! Take that honorary twin!), and by default, the one in charge. Even if they're only older by two minutes... Oi... They're annoying...

    I made Daring the elder twin, by how much I'm not exactly sure, and she knows it. She's just not really annoying or condescending about it.

    I really hate to pry since this seems a little more personal, but do you know why Rainbow attacked you so suddenly?

    This was a great idea. It's not like RD isn't already pissed and sitting right next to you. Is there anyone in the world that enjoys being talked about as if they're not in the room?

    “First, let me get this out of the way. Rainbow Dash, I’m a little insulted that you haven’t told us this interesting bit of information.” She paid no heed to the flaring of Rainbow’s nostril. “I can’t seem to wrap my head around the apparent fact that you’re related to such a charming young mare when your current standing in that department could use…some…eh…work. Not to mention that you didn’t bother telling us about your troubles, darling. We could have helped.”

    Yes Rarity, pour some gasoline on that raging bonfire--what could possibly go wrong?

    you know, this ida actually works, i checked a pic of daring do. she really looks like dash o.o

    but with the name, i would have put daring dash, and daring 'do' would be like the screenname or smth.

    nevertheless, it's good, i'll see where this is going.

    I can some what relate to this because I am a fraternal twin (younger by one minute) but I find that the back story more like my roommate that has a older brother rather than me and my brother.

    Also if your planing a epilogue I must clue you in on twin dynamic. Me and my brother's way of telling each other we care about each other is I would say "please die in a fire" to which by brother would respond "only if you go first". we would mean nothing and say it with a joking smile of course. Twin dynamic consists of much of thees jibes ,small fights where no real punches are throne, and a surprisingly little amount of talking (which became evident when we went to College and we only had one 2 minute conversation a semester). But you may already know that since you said you have twin cousins.  

    But over all I would feel the same way about me and my brother as Rainbow Dash and Daring Do do if this was to happen to us.

    So you can say your fic is fraternal twin approved  :moustache:

    I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The characters seem to grow, and it didn't pull down my belief suspenders.

    That said, in places (many places) the dialogue seemed overly formal, or awkwardly worded. Not a huge deal, but when (not if) you write more, try reading out what the characters are saying, or listing to them say it in your head. That's the only thing that really took me out of the flow, though - I look forward to either a continuation/epilogue or your next work.
