You are a big Wonderbolts fan, and after coming to possess some VIP Wonderbolts tickets, you have the opportunity to meet (and attempt to woo) none other than Rainbow 'Danger' Dash!

In this Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Romance story, the choices are yours to make! But beware! The consequences are yours to deal with, as well. There are 9 endings (can you find them all?), and hundreds of unique paths to take through the story!

Spiritual successor story to Cuddle-Your-Own-Celestia and Love-Your-Own-Luna.

Rated T just to be safe (mildly suggestive content is present but limited). Cover art by Probablydnon.

Now with an AWESOME SONG EDITION from Luck Rock!

EDIT: Featured 5/7/18!
EDIT: Featured at #2 same day. OH BOY!
EDIT: FEATURED #1 same day!! THANK YOU ALL! :D

This is going to be in the featured box, mark my words.

book horse

I'd def prefer book horse over apple horse.

I think an Awkward Nerd romance story with Twi would be amazing.:twilightsheepish:

YESSSSS FINALLY!! Third episode of the interactive cuddles series!! I’ve been dying to see one after the previous two, which I think are so unbelievably well done!

Will read through the story when I have time!!! I can’t wait!!!:pinkiehappy:

Great ending, first try. Nailed it.

This story Is AMAZING!!!
also anyone else get the BitterSweet ending

Ha! Great ending on the first try? Guess I can read Dashie pretty well.

Thanks for this story, Grant. I love the Choose-Your-Own-Adventure style

So far I've gotten the great ending, good ending, bittersweet ending, and secret ending in that order. 4 more to find.

I vote book horse.

Perfect ending first try! Wooooot! Does that mean I get a real rainbow colored horsey?! Well my vote is...hmmm...definitely book horse she’s fucking adorkable. But can we be a non pony? Imagine the fun and quirkiness that could come from a gryphon self dating twi

Sweet, got here first time!

I vote book horse

Dashie can deny it all she wants, but there is no doubt she wants the hug.

This is undoubtedly the hardest chapter for decisions.

Hey dude, I think that link to chapter 44 should be chapter 48, lol.

Okay, choice seems good so far. Feeling nervous...


....why the hay am I feeling nervous? It's a choose your own adventure for love's sake!

Back! Get back greed, bad! No cookie for you!

Aw hay yes! First play through and got and got this brilliant ending. Thanks for making this, it was rather fun and shy dashie was adorable.

P.s. Whoops, forgot to vote. I'll go with Apple horse.

8910138 I noticed that one too.

BTW, Perfect Ending first time.:twilightsmile:

WORST ENDING

"Well....that's like....your opinion man."

Being friends with Rainbow Dash is just as cool. My heart is somewhere else.

If you are an alicorn, please stop reading this story, pour yourself a stiff drink, go sit in a dark corner, and reevaluate your life.

This is golden. You just won my appreciation sir. Thank you.

Book horse

Perfect ending first try.
I vote book horse.

Okay, this is going in my favorites pile. Amazing story format, and I had fun the entire way. Great ending on the first try? I was just playing it safe!

What if I started out as a normal pony, but became an alicorn after an especially enlightening session of re-evaluating my life, and now I'm the Princess of Introspection?

Do I get the whole bottle then?

seem like a lot of people (myself included :pinkiehappy:) got the perfect ending on their first try; i guess i should go back and and try and get the other endings, but first my vote; hands down, book horse :twilightblush:

I have to wonder about the sort of person who reads a CYOA titled "Date Your Own Dashie" and legitimately ends up here without trying to find all the endings.

When you and Rainbow Dash finished your meal, she let out a yawn. “Pinkie’s baking always knocks me on my flank! I’m thinking a nap sounds awesome right now.” She stands up and stretches her legs out, two at a time. “You can come with, if you want. We’ll find a nice cloud somewhere and kick back.”

Pinky what u put in those brownies

Best cake

Lots of love!

And Doxylamine Succinate!

Btw, did the print ever get to you in the mail?

Wow, I got this on my first try. Now I have to go through and find EVERY ending, even if I'll feel terrible when I get to the 'bad' endings. Oh well, I usually don't like choose-your-own-adventure things, but you somehow pulled this off (for now at least). Hope it stays awesome!

Definitely not the sort of story you can publish without being very good at writing, and considering it was featured I have high hopes for it. I only have one minor gripe with it, xD I suppose you may have had one specific vision for the story but since by the design the protagonist seems to be blank slate made to reflect the reader I suspect you'll be alienating the portion of readers who are girls that may enjoy the story but are put off by playing as a male. I mean the writing does reflect attention to gender-neutral pronouns but Dash makes it pretty clear your character is male xD. Of course, going back to edit so many chapters just to be accessible would be a hassle and you don't need to do anything. But I think it would help if Dash would avoid pronouns that bring attention to our gender.

Beyond that it looks great and I commend the work you put into it, I'm excited to start reading it.

PS: I've only read two chapters so assuming that isn't true and the story does avoid that feel free to ignore the comment. Cheers.

Apple horse for sure.

And yay, perfect ending!

I actually remembered that today, and I don't think we ever checked the PO box. :rainbowlaugh:

Well if you guys says so than i think getting with my first try to this ending is not so bad. Thank you CategoricalGrant for this "Date your own..." story. Of course belated best wishes for your birthday. Hope there will be more storys from you like this.

Heya and thanks for the comment!
The character is meant to reflect the reader, but by design a few male pronouns get in (it would be really tiresome to only use 'special somepony', or have her never refer to you with others in a specific way, etc.). I went with male for a couple of reasons, not least of which is the fact that most readers are probably indeed male.
All others can use their imagination in whatever context they'd like :derpytongue2:

They are A LOT of work to do but the poner fans love them, so I do believe there will be more in the future, yes :)

Well i wil be damned. Yeah perfect ending. :pinkiehappy:
Thanks for the vote offer.
I vote for Book Horse.
