    Twilight Sparkle has never truly experienced love for any matter. That is...until a pegasus named Aqua Blue moves into Ponyville. She then experiences feelings inside her, feelings she's never had. How will her friends take this new chain of emotions she's facing? Meanwhile, when the news of the Wonderbolt's air show hits Rainbow Dash, she quickly realizes that the tickets are all sold out...except for two, stored in the Canterlot Royal Vault. She enlists the help of Pinkie Pie in order to swipe the tickets and go to the show.

    First thoughts: This is before I've read the story: Oh god it's going to be awful isn't it? OCXTwilight never ends well. Ah what can you do eh? Forward unto the breach!

    After reading: It's dictated well enough to keep attention (I think. I got distracted by a squirrel halfway through). And they all seem to be in character. Oh well, it's still going to be a placid read anyway. But at least it's a properly edited placid read.

    Folks will always hesitate to read OCxMane6 shipping, because as fans we all get a little too attached to characters, their canon and our headcanon. The way I see it, the guys and gals making the show have the power to create a brand new character at any time and start a romance with a main character, and it will be canon. So I think it's safe to say it has to be written well or it will receive huge backlash.

    My suggestion is to research writing tools and aids an optimize your characterization of your OC, so that we as readers will want to see the pairing happen. I'm not against OCxmane pairings if the OC is fleshed out and likeable, and not a Mary Sue/ Gary Stu.

    I'll say that the story is much more alive than most fics, particularly the introduction. Although sometimes the love at first sight is just something that doesn't seem plausible, to me, anyway. But it is possible to still make a great story from it - I see you already have a story line. I look forward to the next chapter.:twilightsmile:

    >>1099449 I had to implement the Rainbow story into this story without fully making it about her. I don't like ending chapters in an odd number of words, for some reason. And can you explain by how it's choppy? I get "rushed", though. I might try to make Chapter 3 at least 3000 words.

    >>1099465 I do love the Rainbow segment. And we are all entitled to our little literary quirks! However, in response to the original question: "choppy" in the sense that the flow of the chapter is a bit bumpy. Readable and easy to follow, but transitions between scenes could be improved a bit for better flow. And I don't mean to offend you or anyone else over this, it's just a suggestion.:pinkiehappy:

    You can execute Pinkie's character perfectly, but the whole shrub thing confused me a little.

    Twilight and Aqua seem too be getting too close too soon.

    I'm curious about they're personality's.  They seem so perfect for each other, but perfection can be a bad thing. It makes you fall into the same mundane routine, nothing ever changes and hence it causes carnage in a house hold. So I'm curious about if they will ever fight, in other words get into an argument of some sort?

    I see and the fact they haven't kissed also leaves open a topic for debate. I'm going to assume this is both they're first time ever getting this close to a fellow pony. So they don't wanna mess it up, they don't wanna make the first move, but one of them is going to have to. If they make it to soon it could mess everything up, but leave it too late and it will make them think all sorts like. 'I'm I not attractive enough', 'maybe Twilight is just with me for the money' etc etc. This kiss has to be 100% perfectly timed, but I believe in your ability to deliver and make it as amazing as a first kiss can be. Also they are both obviously very nervous after all; first love is a scary thing. :twilightblush:

    I'm not sure what I wanna see, I would much rather be on the guessing stick than anything. Thinking about it too much can give you expectations then let you down if those expectations don't become true. I guess most of all I would just love to see some bonding time between them.

    Oh God... I started to panic a little when Twilight was writing her letter to Celestia. I thought there was gonna be like a hidden Jedi history, it explains that Celestia had to get rid of them all or something like that. I was beginning to think Celestia feared the Jedi and was going to attempt to murder or banish Aqua... Sigh. :twilightblush:

    >>1470139 Twilight will find that out on her own, Aqua lent her the book. Also, Celestia was explained by Aqua to have been involved with the Jedi Counsel, so she wouldn't be evil. It's not like she's the ultra-powerful Sith Queen Darth Solstice...:pinkiecrazy:

    Besides, she doesn't have the Force, so she couldn't cloud the Jedi's vision like Palpatine did.

    Lastly, Twilight and Aqua finally kiss...on the cheek. Way to troll you with romance. :pinkiehappy: You get the Phantom Menace reference?

    I didn't get the reference due to me not actually being a huge Star Wars fan. I've seen the films when I was young... Like way young and I remember all the normal stuff like the Jedi's, Light sabers, Blasters etc. But nothing big sadly.

    Overall I enjoyed it, but I admit. twilight's sudden kiss on the cheek was a surprise; I thought she'd be more shy. And the "bedroom eyes"... I got bad images bro... bad images. Anyway back to the kiss, I guess it's understandable because she sorta did it on a whim, she kissed and as the saying goes: Got the fuck out. Excuse my foulness.

    So yes, I really enjoyed this chapter. :twilightsmile:

    This fiction has no doubt earned it's followers. While you may not be the best writer in the world, what with you few yet obvious grammar mistakes*, I could definitely see someone enjoying this.

    I'm no professional, but I think in my humble opinion that this story gets a 6/10 as an average fan fiction.

    I have never hesitated reading OC x Mane 6.

    I actually prefer them over Canon x Canon
