KitsuneRisu


Somedays, I sit, looking at the stars. I muse and wonder. I meditate and reflect. And I find the miracle in a new day of life. Especially since I swallowed so much glass the day before.

Rainbow Dash is in love. Let's get that out of the way. But when she approaches her friends for advice, she finds that the lessons they impart might not be worth the trouble... or are they? As the murky undercurrents of personal motivations start to get in the way, Rainbow finds that sometimes, advice comes with a price, and sometimes, secrets are more than just two layers deep...

-Cancelled until further notice-

This, by far, is great. And we're only in the prolog. There's a lot of promise in this story, and I'm sure you won't disappoint.

One delivery of staches. :moustache:

And what do you know, you've order enough staches to recieve one free Internet!

:raritydespair: *Sniff*
:raritycry: OHOHOHOHAHAHAHAHA CELESTIA!!! *Relentless sobbing.*
:rainbowderp: Dh...y...y-yo...you...
:rainbowhuh: You've gotta be kidding...
:twilightoops: Wow! That was...
:twilightsmile: Actually very touching! Magnificent start!
:rainbowderp: You're joking, right?

Ahhh, lighten up, Dash!

:rainbowhuh: Me? Be emotionally stranded? C'mon!

Well, it's not like you've exhibited anything EXCEPT confidence.

:rainbowdetermined2: Yeah! Confidence! Unrelenting will against any challenge!
:rainbowderp: And I fall apart,
:rainbowlaugh: right as I find out I've got a special somepony! Phahahahahaha!

Well, at least she's getting a laugh out of it...but honestly, this had me hooked through and through. Nice build up, good use of environmental metaphor to describe Dash, and of course she'd COMPLETELY depend on Twilight to fix anything brain related!

:twilightsmile: Well, I am the smart one for a reason!
Reason being...?
:twilightsmile: I'm the smart one!
...Right.
:twilightoops: What?
Nothing, nothing. You really are the smart one...reasons withheld.

Ahem, anyway. Prologue, excellent prologue. Enjoyed it from beginning to end, and I didn't notice any GLARING errors. Great buildup, adheres to the archetypes just fine, feels like the characters from the show. Can't wait to see where this goes! Oh, and great cliffhanger.

:rainbowhuh: Would I really collapse like that...?

Only way to find out is to write and see. You know how you end up in Silent Ponyville after all.

:rainbowderp: Never mention that...it's a nightmare. All of it. ALL A DREAM. ALL OF IT!!!

That's what Reid wants you to think!

:rainbowhuh: You can go buck yourself.

*Steel smiles.*

Okay. I just want to chip in here and make a statement: Appledash is awesome.

Having said that, there hasn't been a story that's been as touching or as endearing to me. This is an exceptional romance - i'm not sure who else is as into them as I am, but... anyway! Basically everypony NEEDS to try this out.

:rainbowkiss: - Mwuh!

Before reading: what the hay, no dark or sad tag? Who are you and what have you done with KitsuneRisu?

"You know! Feelings!" Dash waved her front hooves around to elaborate. :rainbowlaugh:

"Here..." murmured Rainbow Dash, tapping herself on the chest. "It hurts here." :rainbowderp::fluttercry:

The bit about Dash's kidneys nearly killed me.

Definitely fun so far, and I am looking forward to more.

This is great. I like the comedy you've got going and the conversations seem like the way they'd actually play out. Keep up the good work

He's dead. I ate him. :trixieshiftleft::trixieshiftright:
Glad you're enjoying the story though!

1025958
Thank you! I hope to continue entertaining. =)

Fuck you and your innate ability to provide the FEELS I crave. You're a highly skilled individual.

This is a beautiful romance.

I am not a trend reader - I look for the important stories. To me, I guess. Writers like GingerNutGin, like Church, like Bookplayer and... well, the author of Austraeoh. Municipal Engines, Cold in Gardez, what have you - you're right up there, and the people that love your stories feel the same. YOU ARE AWESOME. DON'T EVER FORGET THAT.

Wait until the second and third chapters - just wait. Minds will be blown. SO ROMANTIC.

I'LL LEAVE FIMFICTION IF THIS ISN'T IN THE FEATURED BOX - THAT'S A PROMISE. I feel that strongly about it.

1028042
That's very nice of you to say, really. ^^;
But jeez, that's going a bit far. Really, there's no reason for you to uproot. I just hope people can enjoy it, and if they do they do, and if they don't then so be it. =) Just enjoy it, and everyone can be happy.

SIGH. Fine. You're right I suppose. I get very dramatic, in case you haven't already noticed, regarding the things I adore. I GUESS throwing myself on the floor and having a temper tantrum ISN'T very productive - fun to watch though. GREAT stress reliever.

This is still an amazing story, and I'm sad that more readers aren't jumping all over this. Especially considering the new banner, geez!

SIGH!

:raritydespair: - "... what's wrong with being ridiculously passionate? Or passionately ridiculous!? I ask you!"

I'm watching you, don't disappoint...
:yay::heart::rainbowkiss: forever!

1033323
I will try my very very best. All I can say is that.. in this fic, things might happen which might not seem they should, but things will work out at the end.

And thank you very much for the faith and the watch!

Well, I'm following this cheering for Flutterdash all the way! :yay::heart::rainbowdetermined2:

1033970
YAY! =D
Thank you for the support! =)
:flutterrage::heart::rainbowwild:

dont count your apples before they hatch applejack :yay::heart::rainbowkiss:

Oh, sure, Dash says this would be bad for her image. What it's bad for is her carefully-crafted self-image: she can't stand the idea of vulnerability. Build a fence around your heart? Been there, done that. But every fence ever built has a weak spot.

This has the makings of a classic.

1034913
Well, I certainly hope so =) Thanks for the nice words and your astute point of view!

1035296
Ach! I just changed it for that reason. I actually know I have a problem with the description; my fic isn't outwardly attractive! If you have any ideas on what I can do to make it more attractive, I'd love to hear it.

Regardless, I'm glad you gave it a try anyway, and I'm really glad you like it. Thank you! :pinkiesad2:

wait, Applejack, The Element of Honesty... lied?!

Apple Jack... Thats just wrong! :twilightangry2:
I'm dreading what Rarity's going to do... especialy after AJ's uncool display.
:yay::heart::rainbowdetermined2:

1035496
Indeed! =D
It was the hardest lie she ever had to make, and lying doesn't come easy for her...
But love makes us do the hardest things!

:ajsleepy: Look how SAD SHE IS. So sad.

1035511
Well, what Dash doesn't know won't kill her... right? RIGHT? :rainbowhuh:
Applejack BETTER keep it down. She doesn't want to incur the wrath of.. :flutterrage:

Also, you can bet Rarity has something up her sleeves. :raritywink:
It shall be painful.

1035569
Actually for the record, and I'm NOT trying to incur the wrath of the world here, but I'm a :raritywink::heart::ajsmug: guy... don't ask. =D
And I'm sorry for AppleDash ;_; Don't hate me.

The fic will end on a bittersweet note, but I guarantee you Fluttershy and Dash will have that touching moment! So read on, and just enjoy the journey as it is. :twilightsmile:

1035602 Awww... :fluttercry: well as long as they are together it will be okay.
(btw, its good to hear your a :raritywink::heart::ajsmug: guy)
:rainbowdetermined2::heart::yay: FTW!

I really like this story. Hope Applejack doesn't get too sad. :fluttercry:

Hey man! Once again you've done a fantastic job. Sorry about the lack of any responce though. Life's been busy.

One more stache for the collection. :moustache:

1035602

Honestly, I dont get everyone's disdain for AppleDash in this story. While, yes, I dont generally favor AppleDash fics, the emotions and actions in this chapter are so believably foreign for both AJ and RD that I am actually rooting for AJ right now :rainbowderp: . Also, I hope much of the story lies after FlutterDash's "touching moment," I'm really looking forward to the conflict and emotion that's brewing here!

1092730
YAY! AJ! =D Hey, thanks for the comments. Some of the story will lie after the 'touching moment', but the story is mainly about RD breaking through the walls, but in a more comedic way. Although, there will be a significant part of it that will be revealed after the Flutterdash chapter. Layers over layers... =D

And yes I know, I update slow. I've been very busy, so to all my readers, I'm sorry! ;_;

If you're a rarity and applejack fan, could we possibly see that in one of the later chapters? Please? :fluttercry:

Not this story, I'm afraid. I already have it panned out. This story is really about Rainbow Dash. But don't worry, I actually had a RariJack story lined up already, it'll be a short one, but it's there. I just gotta find time in my sched to write it and finish all the thousand other things I haven't been doing >_>;

1187362

Rarijack?

:raritystarry: - Oh Applejack, I love your dirty hooves and disgusting earth pony addiction to frolicking in the mud!

:ajsmug: - Aw shucks, an' Ah love yer whinin' an' carryin' on like some spoiled l'il debutante all the durn time!

:raritydespair: - ... hang on, I can't do this. I don't care what it says in the script, this is just disgusting!

:applejackunsure: - We still get paid, right?

:facehoof: - ... I hate celebrities.

Intriguing. I'll have to read more later... and take notes, for I'm to write my first ship fic as well :pinkiehappy:

Love your style of writing. It's easy to read and easily likeable.

1702806
Why thank you! I do appreciate that.
I will have to actually FINISH this fic one day...

1713922
Hey man, thanks a lot! Apprecaite your comments.
And of course, this is all part of my MASTER PLAN to convert everyone to love AJ, which is CLEARLY BEST PONY. :scootangel:

This would make 1 hell of an episode...

1719193
I'd like to see the Appledash chapter animated, myself.... :pinkiecrazy:

1719257 I personally dislike anything that clashes with Flutterdash :p
Like... a lot...

1719264
I... I'm sorry... :ajsleepy:
I take back what I said then! But no fear, this story will definitely end of a good note with :fluttershysad::rainbowderp:

And Applejack.. well... yeah. Who cares about her and her broken heart? I spit on her!

.... *sob*

1719276
Flutterdash is best ship.
My pony-cars prove it!
Pony Viper
Pony Mustang
MUAHHAHAHAH!

1719287
Ahahah ok, those are pretty damn awesome, I gotta admit.
But... best ship sir? BEST SHIP?

I think everyone here now will agree with me that the BEST SHIP is between

Princess Celestia X Peppermint Twist
:trollestia::twistnerd:

In fact, I am going to edit this fic to replace Dash with Celestia and Fluttershy with Twist right now, speech impediments and all.

1719314 I think not!
*Pulls out M1911*
I KNOW HOW TO USE THIS PARTICULAR FIREARM!

1719330
*pulls out SAR21*
And I know how to use THIS one! Also, I have Twist-grenades! HAVE AT THEE.

1719334 Ok, unassemble it, then reassemble it!
Have fun :p

1719350 *pulls out baseball bat and hits the grenade back*
