    Over their lives, Pipsqueak and Dinky have some crucial realizations that help them move on from their past and accept the future.

    Three chapters, three stages in their lives.

    Sequel to Pirates For A Day.

    If you read the first story and loved it for the lack of shipping and pure childlike innocence, then I urge you not to taint the memory by reading this sequel. Pipsqueak and Dinky are shipped together, unlike the original.

    Fan Reading!

    Well I normally hate shipping. I also normally hate stories that open with characters in bad. Normally. You've broken the trend. I like adolescant/teen pip you've given him an intresting character. I've tracked it. Maybe I'll give this one a review when its finished.

    What have i just read?

    A first chapter.

    A continuation of a previous story.

    A good story all in it's own right.

    A story with a few errors.

    A D'WAAAA filled story.

    A Pip/Dinky shipping.

    An example of literary genus.

    Prose beyond what i could even begin to imagine writing.

    A reason to hang up my keyboard for good, and stop writing.

    A story I actually WANT to have the honor of reviewing.

    So, here I go!

    *Procures sonic fine-tooth comb*

    Spelling/Grammar:

    “I like your mum,” she said Don't the two already know one another?

    into the soft whiteness so Pipsqueak stepped closer, A comma might be in order.

    The evening sun was dulled behind clouds yet the parts it still reached glowed as See above. Perhaps two, one before and after 'yet'

    , staring at the ghostly yet friendly trees. See above. Comma before and after the 'yet' would make it flow better.

    photograph like the ones COMMACOMMACOMMA

    justice in his opinion and he had trouble thinking COMMACOMMACOMMACOMMACOMMACOMMA

    “Yes mother.” Dinky poked his flank as he pulled himself up and he squeaked, making her burst out laughing. “Not fair!” he called down, holding out a hoof to help her up. Overuse of pronouns, don't 'cha think?

    branch as it bent warningly under his hoof. FIRING ORBITAL COMMA CANNON!

    the ones they made and the ones they will make, Strange.... Use of 'will'? Perhaps 'Were going to make'

    Story: I don't feel worthy to say anything about this. But I'm going to anyway! :pinkiehappy:

    It seemed well executed, but I, as a reader, would like some back-story as to what has been happening in the last 5 or so years. EX: How long they've been together, a flashback of sorts at the tree for their first kiss? It seems in order for such an amazing story.

    As for furthering this into their latter years... I look forward to it!

    Socks: Not present....

    ***

    And so concludes my review. Hope it helps!

    Commas are not needed in any of the instances you suggested. If anything, they would only make the sentences clunky. Believe me, I used to overuse commas in my writing and I always got called out for it, even getting a B on a paper that would have otherwise gotten an A.

    How does "I like your mum" at all imply that two ponies DIDN'T know each other?

    The pronouns are being used properly. I really don't see why you would think they're being used too much.

    And backstory is not at all required. Little facts like how long they've been together are completely incidental.

    But proper grammar is not a matter of opinion. The fact is that inserting commas where you suggested would destroy the flow of the sentence by adding unnecessary pauses, and as such it is bad advice. I am trying to help YOU now, because it seems like this is something you enjoy doing, but there are certain things you are doing that need to be refined if you truly want to assist writers.

    Huh, that got downright depressing pretty quick. A reminder that much of what made our childhoods wonderful disappears through time and growth. You presented that reminder well, and at the same time reminded us that those wonders still exist, just in a different generation. I really like the direction you're going with these chapters.
