    You spent quite a bit of your time back home honing your flying skills, but an accident grounds you.  Without a place to stay any longer, you move in with your cousin, who gladly takes you in.  However, you take note of a mare in town, and you begin to wonder if there could be more to life than flying...

    Sequel to The Color of Apples.  Reading The Color of Apples isn't really necessary, but I do recommend it, as some events may not make sense without the context.

    First things first; mistakes. Although I'm not sure that this would count as a mistake (as it is not part of the story) but you messed up the story's name so that 'would' isn't capitalized. Should be 'I Would Give to You'. Also, 'You’d left home less than twenty four hours ago,' twenty-four should have a hyphen. One more thing, 'After I moved away from Cloudsdale contact with her became harder and harder.' Right after 'Cloudsdale' there should be a comma. Sounds weird without it.

    Well now that that's out of the way, Great start to a great story. And I see that this takes place during the whole Applejack missing incident. I also liked how you foreshadowed the two stallions in the suit and stetson hat, respectively, although it seemed a little, I dunno, out of place? You seem to put emphasis on them all of a sudden, and then, just as quickly, forget about them. But meh, why would this 'you' have to worry about them, right? There's also, 'A new beginning awaits us all, you just need to find, and open, the door to your new future.' All I'm thinking of is Keyblade, because of this.

    One last thing, 'Then there was the accident, and everything changed.' 'You were the best flyer in Fillydelphia, but everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.' ....I had to again...

    Loving the story. Here is one mistake that I found.

    “I’m ready to go Flutterhsy.”

    Pretty easy fix. Other than that, the story seems good for grammar & spelling.

    >>1049197  Do you enjoy your apple juice?

    >>1049201  I appreciate you pointing out the mistake.  I'd rather be informed of things like this, than left in the dark.

    >>1049324  Dash will be showing up soon enough, have no fear.  As for Applejack?  Well, you'll have to wait a few in-story days for her to even have a chance of showing up, given that she's off having some 'fun' in Manehattan.

    >>1049494  Don't die just yet.  I've got plenty more to write for this before you can die.

    >>1050458  At least, it'll be impossible for a few days.  They do make it back in time for the Summer Sun Festival.

    Very good so far. I have to say Taupe is an odd name for the Reader's character in Color of Apples. Not to say it's a bad name. Its a bit like Dell Conaghier. Not bad, but definitely unique.

    Anyway, love this story, its going in my Favourites list. I eagerly await more.

    Mistakes: Fourth paragraph. "Would you get some music going." Needs a question mark.

    Seventh paragraph. "Flutterhsy"

    Aside from the wingboner thing (a concept I always thought was stupid), very good chapter! Twi and the reader character already make a cute couple, and set up the next chapter to be rather interesting. Good job!

    Now, Pinkie, would you mind getting some music going.
    That should be a question mark at the end. Oh, and of course,
    After Pinkie was out the door, you looked to Flutterhsy and Twilight, a questioning look plastered on your face.
