Power Misuse : Chapter 1
Oh no… Are they going to be alright? Twilight inquired of herself as she could only look at her winged friend dive straight down into the darkness as she zoomed into the deep, hollow well at full speed.
Nah, of course she’ll be alright! After all, she’s Rainbow Dash!
Moments later, she managed to fly out slightly mucky, but otherwise completely unharmed, with the young earth pony grasping on tightly for dear life onto the cyan pegasi’s back. Rainbow landed lightly on the ground, and to her surprise, there was a large crowd cheering and shouting her name in pure excitement when she released the filly from her grasp.
“Wow... What’s with the crowd now?” Rainbow inquired as she bowed and slightly blushed. “Thanks everypony... It was really no big deal.”
“To me it was! You’re my hero, Rainbow Dash!” The young filly proudly exclaimed as the entire group of eccentric shouting ponies around her cheered louder and clapped their hooves together filling the atmosphere with their cheers.
Rainbow was generally flattered by their gestures, boosting her ego ever so slightly. She looked around at the crowd, giving them a warm smile, her cheeks blushing a soft rosy red. Moments later she took off, flying up into the clouds to take a quick cloud shower.
Rainbow looks so adorable when she does stuff like that... Twilight thought as her eyes were drawn and ultimately glued to the flying pegasus, and even after Rainbow flew out of everypony’s sight, she just stared up at the clouds.
“Hey there, sugar cube?” Applejack waved her hoof in front of Twilight, trying to get her attention back.
“Huh… errrm… what?” Twilight woke up from her daydream, shook her head, and stared dumbfounded being caught off guard by the orange mare.
“We’re leaving now, Ahe ya’ll okay there Twilight? Ya’ kinda seem, ya’ know, distant.” Applejack said, as Twilight sighed and put on a fake smile to tide over her friend for a while.
Ugh, I can’t believe Applejack caught me daydreaming! Does she know my secret? Does anypony else know my secret? Oh no, oh Celestia! Wh-what if she does know? W-will she hate me if she ever finds out?
“Erm, yeah, Yes, I mean, I’m just delightful. Uh, well, I-I need to go now.” The lavender mare blurted out, as she teleported away from their sights in a moment of haste. The four ponies looked at each other, wondering if there was something wrong with Twilight.
~~~~~
Twilight started trotting back to the library, and after a quick shower she went to her bedroom and slumped herself down onto the bed. Usually, she would have been reading books at dusk, but today, she couldn’t find any motivation to. For the longest of times, being around her friends made her happy, but she started to change, she had feelings and emotions that she couldn't control anymore, and desires she couldn't suppress. Spike would usually attempt to cheer her up, although it would always end up with herself still feeling just as horrible as she had, sometimes even worse.
“Spike, Spike are you there?” she screamed into the empty library, her question falling upon deaf ears as her voice echoed throughout the library. Twilight suddenly recalled that he’d gone off to Canterlot but a few days ago, as Princess Celestia had requested him. Somehow, although Spike’s comforting would most likely not help her at all, she wished that she could at least tell her problems to the little purple dragon.
Why in Equestria do I keep thinking of Rainbow Dash like this? Are these feelings real? She’s my friend... and it’s just so wrong... I can’t believe I’m thinking of another mare like this, let alone one of my very closest friends.
Twilight sighed lowly, her thoughts were racing faster than they ever had before, and she just didn’t understand why. Every time that she had talked to Rainbow, her heartbeat would rapidly increase and an obvious rosy blush would appear on her cheeks. But recently this issue had become much worse, whenever she was in front of Rainbow now, she would be blushing at her more than she’d ever blushed at anypony before, and even during her studies, thoughts of the cyan pegasus would overtake her mind completely.
Twilight felt defeated as she laid there helplessly on her bed staring at the ceiling, letting the thoughts run freely through her mind.
Oh Celestia, I’m so baffled now… Rainbow Dash is my friend and she’d never like me in this way, but I can’t curb these feelings anymore!
Twilight sighed, turning her face into her pillow and screaming lowly in frustration.
~~~~
“Oh, hey there Twilight.” Rainbow whispered seductively as she leaned closer to Twilight, forcing her to fall back onto the sofa behind them.
“Erm... Hello Rainbow Dash...” Twilight couldn’t help but to look directly into Rainbow’s eyes, they were half closed; her soft magenta pupils seemed to stare straight into her soul. Her heart was pounding so fast against her chest she felt that it could have just popped out of her body anytime.
Rainbow’s eyes fluttered seductively as she leaned forward to connect her lips with her. Twilight attempted to pull away from the kiss, it sent chills and waves of pleasure down her spine, but it felt just wrong kissing one of her closest friends. Rainbow reacted by putting her front hooves on her cheeks, locking their muzzles together tightly. The unicorn couldn't complain, even if she wanted to, that kiss seemed to melt all her worries away. She melted deeper into the kiss as she felt Rainbow’s tongue touch softly upon her own. The two mare’s tongues wrapped around each other as Rainbow pushed Twilight again, making her lie down flat upon the sofa, and they pulled each other down in a passionate embrace.
Twilight could feel her arousal growing as she began to murmur lowly and moan softly in between their kisses. This turned Rainbow on even more than before; she kissed her, moving her tongue passionately around the lavender mare’s mouth. The unicorn had never felt such immense pleasure before in her life, and she never wanted this feeling to end.
~~~~
Twilight was boiling hot down in her haunches and extremely wet, and she started to subconsciously rub herself with her hooves...
“Twilight?” a small voice called out
“OH MY CELESTIA!” Twilight screamed and, jerking her hooves from underneath her body, she leapt under the blanket hastily. “Who’s that?! Who’s there?!” She blushed, hoping that whoever was there didn’t see her, although she knew that whoever that was already had.
“Erm, it’s me, Spike.” He called back, now glaring confused at the blushing mare.
In a hasty moment of pure blind anger, Twilight used her magic, grabbed Spike and violently pulled the baby dragon downstairs.
“Go to bed right now!” Twilight screamed her embarrassment showing in her voice.
“But Twilight, my basket’s upstairs...”
Twilight huffed then levitated Spike’s sleeping basket downstairs almost tossing it at him, and extinguished all the candles and lanterns that lit up the room. There was no response afterwards, which gave her a meager hint of relief, at least Spike had no awkward “questions” to ask her.
“Geez, I really hope Twilight’s alright.” Spike whispered to himself. “I kinda wonder why she was rubbing herself though. Do all ponies do that?” He wondered, as he slumped himself in the basket, ready for a forced, early slumber.
~~~~
What the buck is wrong with you Twilight Sparkle?! You’re an absolutely filthy, disgusting pony. And not to mention a despicable friend…
To say Twilight's mind was scrambled right now would be a devastating understatement, what had happened a moment ago completely tore her up on the inside. Her feelings were now all over the place, and she couldn’t control her tears any longer. Her emotions were killing her now; she could not believe the unforgivable horror she had just done.
I was clopping to one of my very best friends! Not only were you clopping to one of your very best friends in all of Equestria, you were clopping to another mare! And you let Spike see you and your dirty clopping! He’s just a baby dragon; you’re destroying his childhood!
It was like there was a faint voice in her, tormenting and ultimately the sanity directly out of her. She just wanted to scream at the top of her lungs, as she could not get rid of that horrible feeling festering deep inside of her. After an hour of emotional torture that felt like years, Twilight finally managed to drift off into a tear-filled sleep.
Note : Kudos to Dewdrop for prereading, DastrdlyW for some edits, and Eclipse for making making moar major edits!

umm....no words to describe the feeling i have right now......so heres a few emoticons
I wish my dreams were that awesome... Usually I dream about getting punked out trying to steal a Payday out of a vending machine.
You have a follower.
she seems to be a title hard on her self?
hmmm curious....curious.
I started freaking out when I read: "rubbing her pee area"
Mental Images for the loss
But still, interesting read
Lighten up a bit,Twilight.

Maybe because there are some people in the world who don't believe that a story is only 'deserving' of a good rating because it's held as a model of textbook perfection in construction alone? I've seen plenty of 'perfect' stories that were bland. I'd rather read something interesting and rate it based on what looks like went into it, originality, and immersion factor. Snooty, aren't we?
want to see wow it goes
Now that I've read the chapter. It's an interesting idea, not Twidash as that's about as old as Our Lady Dawn. But Mare-Do-Well fitting into this situation might be interesting to see, and how you accomplish it. I can't be too critical on it feeling a bit rushed and exposition-y, as I feel that you'll fit into the more natural speed and groove the more and more you write into this. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
88677 Thanks for the motivation man!
I think this needs a bit more than an "everybody" rating.
Teen, at the absolute least.
Rating: Everyone.
Includes clopping.
I'm pretty sure that should be changed. The rating, I mean.
88728
^ this.
Here's a quick scale:
with romance tag:
everyone = sfw -shipping, describing emotions, may include kissing (see Flutterheart for an example)
teen= still sfw, but may include more detailed emotion-describing, maybe even sexual intercouse-allusive text, but nothing too dirty (make it with humor, and it's okay)
mature= the sky's the limit. Do your worst.
Jinadan and I are re-working the second chapter and will reupload it when it's done.
Please bare with us.
We'll see how this goes, but dude, change the rating. This is Not a story for everyone.

So there are some people who think giving a story with clear mechanical, syntax and construction errors a perfect score actually helps the author? I agree with you to a certain point, actually; plot and execution is four-fifths of a good story. However, the last fifth of any story is always dedicated to grammatical correctness, at least in my opinion. To give a story with less-than-phenomenal mechanics a perfect score does more to harm than help the author of that story.
I will, however, apologize to the author and his editor(s), as I believe I could have been a bit less harsh with expressing my feelings on the story's inadequacies. Much of what I point out as "iinconsistencies" are areas in which I believe the wording of certain things could have been better chosen. There are areas of outright incorrectness, or there were (i've yet to read the more recently edited versions), but most of my issues with the syntax lies in the unnecessarily awkward manner in which things are worded.
A last word before I post this and go off to read the newly-edited chapter--let us not fall to baseless name-calling, shall we? You may indeed believe that the tone of my post was, as you said, "snooty," but it is hardly necessary to begin flinging mud when a simple rebuttal could suffice.
I love fics where Spike is in an awkward situation, it makes me lol hard
89125 Now, now, no need to change your comment.
It will help us in the future.
89125 No, I thought that your post was just fine.
Sure it came out sounding a little harsher than it probably intended to, but that's the world of literature. No one is going to be 100% nice to the writer all of the time. I looked over and found some inconsistancies such as, "She had not gotten much rest..." and the adjacent sentence saying "Though she slept long hours..." which directly contradicts what was earlier said. There were some grammar issues and misused words such as the use of 'glare'.
The 'glare' part was a goof on my end using Microsoft word I must have accidently used the 'Find and Replace' feature and chose 'change all'. I think that your comment was reasonable and made me realize that there were still some things that needed to be tuned up and some bugs to be ironed out. I've had worse people comment on my works before calling me 'Talentless, stupid and a pathetic excuse for a fic-writer.' Which at the time was pretty much the truth. But I've changed from those comments and became better from it, tough love baby. Tought love.
Okay, maybe I'm wrong about this, but the premise seems extremely similar to "The Games We Play." I don't want to sound mean, but if readers familiar with that one, I think it's going to be really, really hard for them to avoid comparing this fic with that one, and no offense, but "The Games We Play" is definitely the better of the two. I don't have any problems with this story, mind you; it's just that the timing of the publication was bad.
89359 Yes, they're extremely similar fics, but that's the peroblem with writing sometimes. There's only so many ideas that are out there so sometimes fics will come out being similar to one another. I've read the fic, only recently due to some one pointing it out in the comments, but this is also similar to my fic Conflicting Emotions in which he ultimately got the idea for this fic from that. The similarities are quite large between this fic, and The Game We Play, but no one whom pre-read or even edited the fic pointed that out. We really could've avoided this nice site shoving a foot up our assess because this fic is similar to another more well-written and popular fic, we would've changed the basis around a little bit before posting.
I definitely think this needs at least a teen rating
89514 I agree that it should, but I'm sure that Jinadan will change that soon enough.
Well, I'm not going to say that this was superb. It sounds undeveloped (read it out loud if you haven't already), and a few times I had a hard time figuring out what emotion I should be feeling for Twilight in her thoughts. It seems 'jumpy' if ever there were a better word to describe it. I understand that this is going under editing (at the time of this comment) so I encourage you to seek out changes for using the word "just." As a writer, I've found that using just is a rather weak word, and it covers emotions that could be emphasized. Not only that, but there were parts that you could remove just and the sentence would be completely fine (if not better?)
My point? You used just 21 times. For a story to get a 4.5+ and use it that many times is frustrating.
Well, anyways, I don't want to come off as a jerk. It's a good story, but with a little more spit and polish it could become loads better. I'll track this out of interest.
89556 I'm just a pre-reader and an editor. I promised that I wouldn't change much of what he had originally put down. I'm slightly loving the criticism that is coming along, we're all chalking these up to things that we can improve on. Thank you sincerely for your kind reviews of this fic.
89560
Funny, because I'm an editor and a writer (well ok, I'm on fimfic so obviously a writer)
I find it a little strange that he's had so much help and it still feels premature, almost a draft. I don't want to come off as mean when I say it sounds premature, I want to come off as supportive because I -know- he can do better. Personally, I feel as if he's not getting enough tough love or honest constructive criticism at this point and it stinks because a lot of people leave all these happy comments and then the one or two who break the ice look like jerks. Well, I'm rambling and I've already made my point (s). Work on "just" and be sure to give the best crit as you can. I look forward to where you and Jin (and whomever else) go with this.
Woah woah woah, just woke up and saw all the comments.
Changed it to a teen rating, and yea I'm still a relatively new writer, so I don't expect this to go too far.
But hey, If "The Games We Play" is better, so be it! Cause the author of it made that fic first, he gets more credit, so yea
Anyways, thanks for the criticism. Although, I feel really weird now haha
89584 (posting on an alternate account.)
Well, I told him to maybe add some things,
I just edited it you see?
I made some edits so help I bring,
But we need more help than lil' ol' me.
I am a fic writer, and new am I,
I can't fix all these things though.
But soon enough we'll reach for the sky,
but we could really use some more help bro...
Please?
Have a pic to simmer things down img.ponibooru.org/_images/f77dd4c82966c61fcd9ea8690f72b6dd/87333%20-%20artist%3ASpeccySY%20rainbow_dash%20sweater%20sweater_dash%20TwiDash%20twilight_sparkle.png

i dream about about rainbow dash and fluttershy *clop clop*
MAKE MORE RIGHT NOW OR PINKIE WILL THROW YOU INTO HAMMERSPACE
90009 Door's over there, pal. In other news, I doubt spike would ever say "rubbing her pee area". He'd probably say "rubbing herself". Just happened to notice that. Also, +1 track
90126 thanks, changin it now
> The unicorn couldn't and didn’t want to complain; the kiss seemed to melt all of the unicorn’s worries away.
To me, 90178, that whole phrase is awkward; punctuation and pronouns help it flow immensely. Compare it to any of the below edits:
The unicorn couldn't complain, even if she wanted to. That kiss seemed to melt all her worries away.
The unicorn couldn't (and didn’t want to) complain; the kiss seemed to melt her worries away.
The unicorn couldn't, and didn’t want to, complain; the kiss seemed to melt all her worries away.
Feel free to mix'n'match; the top one feels the most organic to me, though.
90357 Edited it, thanks!
I read this because another writer friend was freaking out- seein' as it out-rates and has more votes than his entire multichapter story.
Which is pretty funny to me 'cos it also outranks mine exactly the same way...
I would say, don't even sweat it. If these folks want to write better, they can- p'raps they'll READ more and soak up the language (and I don't mean readin' other fics). If they just enjoy makin' ponies happy, clearly they got that sorted, and what is so wrong with that? Takes all kinds. I think folks are more fretting over the usefulness of star rankings themselves as a guide to the literate fic-writers, but that's a whole other question, to my mind. For now, it ain't, full stop.
I'll just say this- when you're a better writer, it's EASIER to write. You don't have to work nearly as hard to avoid slip-ups because you're used to it. Of course if you don't mind, it don't matter. Stuff like:
"The lavender mare replied hastily, as she teleported away from their sights out of sheer nervous reflex"
If they were aimin' guns at me I'd git out of there in a hurry, too! also, 'lowly' don't mean what you think it does. Adverbs are a plague already, for heavens' sake don't be making more of the lil' buggers or writer ponies will hunt you down and take away your semicolons!
i hope twi doesn't get so serious to collect stuff from dash like her hair or her sweat...0o. also i loove twidash fanfic they are always the best(in my opinion)
