flutterdashforever


T

After Rainbow Dash is sent to Cloudsdale High Boarding School she finds things a little trickier than she thought. Fortunately she meets a certain yellow filly who shares her love of music.

Projecting? Me? Never. this is a Flutterdash fic taking place in the filly years. (In this case meaning high school age.)

Teen rating just to be on the safe side in case of suggestive or naughty language, nothing major though.

This is my first fanfic so please be kind but if you notice any spelling or grammar mistakes please do tell me.

Chapters (8)

I do like this so far! Seems like a promising, sweet little story. And well, FlutterDash! All my yes. :pinkiehappy: It'll be interesting to see Rainbow and Flutterhsy's lives as high school fillies. :twilightsmile:

Not many spelling or grammar issues, good on you :twilightsmile:
I did find a double space once. Not that much of a big deal but here:

Her mother had been against this and had moved her to Cloudsdale High Boarding School for a fresh start and to make some friends.

Between "High" and "Boarding" :raritywink:
Anyway, nice start, interesting, sounds promising. I will be watching this :pinkiesmile:
Take five moustaches: :moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache:
And give me MOAR :twilightangry2:

1420395 Thanks for finding that. :pinkiehappy: I'd hoped that I wouldn't miss anything but in fairness it was written at midnight on a mad inspiration. :rainbowwild: I'm glad you liked it and I hope to have the next chapter up soon. :twilightsmile:

1420424 By the way, I placed this in the Flutterdash folder in the Shipping group.
:yay::heart::rainbowdetermined2:

1420436 Awesome! I didn't know you could do that, but awesome none the less! :pinkiehappy:

The filly hid behind her main and mumbled, “Fluttershy…”

*mane

Nice story!
Dat disclaimer... AGREED!
We need to buy the show! NOW!

1420459 I have a few more groups to add it to ^_^

1420568 Sounds great, the more who see it the better. :twilightsmile:

1420588 No problem!
I always hate it when fics aren't properly grouped ;-;

P.s. check your page, you got a watcher ^_^

1420620 Is that why I kept feeling like I was being watched while eating lunch? *Glances over shoulder*

:fluttercry: Poor Fluttershy, she just can't catch a break. Mmm, I wonder what Rainbow's thinking of, as well as that song...oooh. O: Still, there was quite some d'awwww to go around! :twilightsmile:

I haven't spotted any mistakes, although I do suggest adding an apostrophe to Shy, making it 'Shy since it is part of her name. But I guess it does work either way. :pinkiesmile:

1421860 I'm glad you didn't find anything major. As for the whole 'Shy versus Shy thing, I've seen it done both ways so I'm really not sure. :derpytongue2:

And yea I am being kinda mean to poor Fluttershy in this story... :fluttercry:

1422171 I've seen it done both ways, mostly 'Shy. XD So yeah, I guess you can say it does work either way!

:fluttercry: Poor thing...but that's okay, she doesn't need our protection. XD

You're adorable :rainbowlaugh:
I am the KING of being mean to Fluttershy. This story is heaven in comparison - you've got nothing on me. :rainbowkiss:

Having chuckled at you thinking you're mean to Fluttershy for a while, because I know nobody who has beaten me in that regard ever, I finally sat down to read this, and I like where it is going. I like it a lot.
Your characterisations of Dash and 'Shy are really sweet - Dash is pretty much right on the money, and 'Shy is really good too.

It didn’t matter, she was the smartest student there and never had to work to get top marks.

Interesting - I do hope you expand on this. It's an intriguing idea and could potentially lead to some decent story.

Rainbow turned and, not crying, headed towards the general direction in which she believed the dorm rooms to be.

Heh. Not crying. I know that feel, RD - I DEFINITELY didn't cry my first day of school. (This is high school, but whatever. :moustache:)

...and withdrew her old, battered mp3 player.

I get the feeling this is well-used - a very nice bit of detail.

It crossed the older pegasus’s mind that the little filly could be quite strong when she wanted to be.

This part had me chuckling. Go, Fluttershy! Push! Don't waste your time in school~~!

She turned it on and, managing to smile a small, watery smile, continued along her way.

You have an incredibly way with words. Her optimism here shines, and I really like that she puts on a smile despite feeling very much the opposite.

Rainbow listened mostly to punk and rock music...

Makes sense - her racing track in 'Sonic Rainboom' was pretty much that, and also it just totally suits her.

Sitting on one of the beds was a beautiful yellow filly with a pink mane. She was staring out the window with a dreamy look on her face as she continued to sing, unaware of her silent audience of one.

Oh wow... this part... just wow. I love it so much.

Fluttershy peaked out from behind her mane and looked a little taken aback. She was used to people not hearing her and making her repeat herself which always annoyed her as it was a little cliché as a demonstration of just how shy and quiet she was.

I imagine 'Shy WOULD quite like that - not feeling like a recluse would only strengthen their bond. Nice touch!

“Mostly pop but I do listen to a bit of country and some electronic. Oh and, um, never mind.”

Country Fluttershy... I can see that. I like it!

Heck yeah! Finished chapter 1!
I want more, but I am so tired it's not funny. I'll be back to read Chapter 2 later.

- MS

Fluttershy always sat at the back of class. Unlike Rainbow Dash, she had been home schooled her whole life and was finding the work that was expected of her to be quite challenging. This particular class was the worst. It was math and Fluttershy was feeling depressed. No matter what she did she could always tell that he teacher despaired at how little she understood. She sighed and resigned herself to bottom marks… again.

Fluttershy jumped as one of the colts who was sitting beside her kicked her leg under the table. She turned to glance at him, a hurt look in her eyes. She saw he was holding a note which he passed to her discretely before turning his attention back to the teacher.

Fluttershy unfolded the note and examined it closely. On the top, in Rainbow’s handwriting, was a short message that just said, “No, you won’t get bottom marks again." Underneath that was a list of the answers to all the questions on the blackboard and on the sheet sitting in front of her. She smiled and began copying the answers on to the sheet.

No errors! Congrats!

P.s. I'm availible 15:30(3:30PM) to 22:00(10PM) on weekdays. (9:00 to 23:00{11PM} on weekends)
It is 3:44 for me right now ^_^

She was emotionally spend

I think it should be "spent"?

Rainbow Dash smiled to and didn't kiss her on the nose.

I think it should be "too"?
Anyway, it UPDATED! :yay:
But I can blame school and loss of internet connection for making me only able to read this now. :ajbemused:
So, I'm supposing a lot of time has passed between these chapters? Nice. I like their interactions. I also like the song bits :pinkiehappy:
Fluttershy's eye confuse me. Sometimes they're like:
th08.deviantart.net/fs71/200H/i/2012/159/0/1/eyes_fluttershy_by_kitsuneymg-d52r5ub.png
But sometimes in the show, they're bluer. Observe:

If you watch only Fluttershy's eyes...
.

In the show, they are still often coloured more like the above picture.

Fans seem to prefer the less-blue-more-green-ish type eyes.
Still, I agree with your statement. they are not green. They are TEAL! TEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!
By the way, author:

1423207 Thank you so much. *Squee* when I set out to write this I didn't really expect many people to read it or enjoy it. I'm so happy you all did and... well just thanks guys. :twilightsmile:

1425175 Yes, yes that should be spent. *Facehoof*

1422958 Oh you just wait. I'm not done being mean to her yet... :trollestia:

Rainbow Dahs had been her best friend

Right there, just a slight misspelling of Dash.

gentile voice

Gentle, but close!

That's about what I found so far. Overall, this was so sad. :fluttercry: How utterly cruel of Rainbow's first friend to just do that. I know that someone admitting that they're gay CAN be shocking, to be sure. But to react in such a way is just terrible. I mean, honestly? It's just about no different if you're a girl and then one of your guy friends confessed that they were in love with you. Meanie Cherry.

But at least now Rainbow was brave enough to tell Fluttershy about it, and that she was there for her. :twilightsmile: It's just what she needed.

1426783 And both mistakes are no more! :pinkiehappy: Thanks for spotting them. I did feel a little guilty while writing that bit. Oh well, at least it ended happy right? :derpytongue2:

I actually felt kinda guilty about that plot twist as I had to go back and change something in chapter one to facilitate it. I always intended to have that in the story but I realised after writing it that I hadn't laid the groundwork very well. :facehoof:

1427279 No problem, always glad to help! Hee, at least it did end nicely at the moment! :derpytongue2:

That's okay, it happens all the time. XD I think we all have gone through that and still do!

Ahhh the sweet, sweet calm before the $h!t storm... just kidding... or am I? :pinkiecrazy:

1422958 Hang on. You're the one who wrote "Hearts Aflutter." Yea, you are WAY better at being mean to Fluttershy than me... hooves down... without a doubt... :fluttercry:

:twilightsmile: Awwwwww... How sweet! When it comes to FlutterDash, just about any angle in the "confession" approach can be done very well. Here, it's so cute. I guess Rainbow was indeed falling in love with her but was terrified at first, at least until she knew she didn't have to be afraid. :pinkiehappy: Because Fluttershy not only is an understanding pony, but she feels the same way! And how cute that Fluttershy made the first move! D'awww....

xD Oh crud, that means it's only going to get worse off from here. Oh well. I shall endure the journey!

Hee, I love how Rainbow Dash was so smart. :pinkiehappy: I like that, it shows she's smarter than we give her credit for. And I think she is, I really do. :derpytongue2:

It turned out to be a photo. It was of a light pink Pegasus with a white and pink mane. She was quite pretty. There was a half smirk on her face suggesting a slightly cheeky personality. The photo was battered and looked as well loved ad Rainbow’s mp3 player. Odd, thought Fluttershy before she was distracted by the bell, summoning her to the first class of the day. She sighed as she realised that there would be no help from Rainbow Dash this time.

as*
realized*

Fluttershy looked over to see that the blue filly beside her was still asleep, gently nestled in close, a few strands of bubble-gum pink hair draped across her peaceful face. Fluttershy nuzzled her neck in attempt to give her a less rude awakening than Fluttershy herself had endured. This only served to make her mutter something that still wasn’t “Flutterhsy” and nestle in closer.

Fluttershy*

Flutterhsy giggled and whispered in to one lightly flicking ear, “Dashie, it’s time to wake up.”

Fluttershy*

Fluttershy followed, speculating that there was probably some cruel god who got a perverse joy out of the fact that at the start of every day was math. She sent out a generic curse to them, just encase they were listening and made a mental not to ask Rainbow later if there was a god of tormenting mathematically challenged school fillies.

note*

Fluttershy looked a little downcast so Rainbow put a gentle wing over her and pulled her in for a close hug. Flutterhsy squeaked again but still nuzzled in close. It would have been perfect if it wasn’t for the voice that suddenly broke the moment like a nokia through concrete.

Fluttershy*
Nokia*

She Resumed her stage whisper and added a friendly smile, the gleam of which was like the edge of a knife. “This is the part where you run away.”

resumed*

Rainbow only looked grim. There was not the pride Flutterhsy would have expected, only a bitter, half disgusted look. Instead of responding she just walked over to the yellow filly and draped a protective wing back over her and pulled her close. Then she said at a whisper, “I’m sorry you had to see me like that, it was the only way I survived the teasing at my last school before I came here. I developed the ability to scare other ponies. I always hated it but it was the only way to make them shut up.”

Fluttershy*

Flutterhsy snuggled in close. “I understand.”

Fluttershy*

That error was made so much...

1429280 Meh, what can I say? it was one fifty in the morning when I wrote and proof read this... sorry about that. :derpytongue2:

1428645 Yea, I like to think she's smarter than we give her credit for. Believe it or not, that bit where she corrected the teachers grammar was something I did in class once. I just thought it should be in here cause it was hilarious. :rainbowlaugh:

Wow... looking back on this chapter I'm really unhappy with the way it came out. Maybe I should delete the bit where Rainbow Dash gets in to a fight with the bully... thoughts? Oh well lesson learned: don't write and post at midnight... :facehoof:

Ugh... I promise I'll do better next time.

1429791 After a bit of editing I am much happier. Amazing what writing after a good nights sleep will do... :pinkiehappy:

I love how quickly you update. :raritywink: Sadly, because I'm so busy, I don't get to read new chapters until a long time after they've come out. :fluttercry: Ah well, it's still great seeing that this has updated, even if I know I can't read it at that moment.
Anyway, this chapter was sad :raritycry:. But it was awesome :pinkiesad2:
It kinda reminded me of the fanfic "Rejection".
Corrections:

“Drop it Flutterhsy.”

Drop it, Fluttershy.

I had hoped that I would never have to tell anyone here about my… preferences but when I saw that notice I realised that wasn’t going to be an option if I was expected to bring a date to this stupid thing.”

Forget the quotation mark at the beginning.

when I realised what was happening I panicked.

Capitalize "when".
Now, these are some issues with commas that do not necessarily have to be corrected, as I suppose they aren't as obvious or major as others:

And she never heard Rainbows gentle voice say, “I’m so sorry Shy.”

I think it should be "I'm so sorry, Shy.

Oh she was everything I wanted and more.

I think it should be Oh, she was everything I wanted and more.

I started, following her around, caring too much…

I don't think there should be a comma after "started".
Great chapter.
:twilightsmile:

1430781 I've never read "Rejection" I'll fix those up right away. You were, of course, right on every one. That last one is because sometimes I forget to put a ... instead of a comma. I hope you get time to read chapter four soon. :pinkiehappy:

WHERE ON EARTH DID THE BLOODY COOKIES GO?
WHY ON EARTH IS THIS STORY SO BLOODY ENTERTAINING? :flutterrage:
So... it's finally happened. I thought the duet was a nice touch. :twilightsmile:

Now distinctly more awake than she’d like to be Rainbow sad hopefully,

Rainbow sad. When's Rainbow's sad, I'm sad. And so is Fluttershy. :fluttercry: Heh, sorry, Had to say that. :twilightblush: So, I think you meant Rainbow said. Now distinctly more awake than she’d like to be, Rainbow said hopefully,

“Yes miss Dash?”

Capitalize Miss.:raritywink:
Now... Moar! :yay:

1431405 :rainbowlaugh: I don't know why but the phrase "Rainbow sad." amuses me. (Sadist)

I have to admit I'm happy. You should see the list of errors spotted on my fist publishing of this chapter... :fluttercry:

Oh and I'm glad you liked the duet. I wasn't sure about how it would look written down, I kind of just hoped people would look up the song on youtube and listen to it while they were reading that bit.

1435568 Much as I hate to say it, the look on her face after I've finished the chapter I'm working on at the moment will look more like the eighth one...

ihum, I see what you did there. Terry Pratchett strikes again. Thus was a good book, one of my personal favorites.

1443699 I feel no guilt for this shameless theft as I credited him in the disclaimer. :pinkiehappy:

Yay for Terry Pratchett! :twilightsmile:

I found this unbelievably entertaining. Now you have no choice but to give me more.:pinkiecrazy:

1443751 I'll be working on that when I don't feel like passing out from school... Hopefully soon... :facehoof:

I'm glad you found in unbelievably entertaining. :pinkiehappy:

DON DON DON!!! The tension rises! Excellent as usual, keep up the good job. I can't be bothered to go round and pick up grammar, so, MORE!:flutterrage:

1443782 My word, has it actually reached the point where people are sick of correcting me when I get something wrong? :derpytongue2:

And yes, the tension doth riseth...

Yay, update!
I've read almost every FlutterDash fanfic, LitP HFtF is no exception ^_^

Okay. I'm late to the scene here. This has some parallels to my fillies story (except that here they are older and Thud is awesome).
Very very good start. :yay::heart::rainbowkiss:I really wish they were canon :)
