Awww, this was really sweet. XD

I like how Dash is still a little frustrated with Tank's lack of...anything but still likes the little dude. Tank, attack tortoise! Awesome!

Sweet. Gilda who doesn't written as senseless jerk and do not lost her cool, little fluffy G\Dash moment... thanks!

I honestly despise Gilda, but then again, that's just for what she did to Fluttershy when they encountered each other for the first time. But that doesn't mean I don't find this story bad or anything. I like this story, really depicting the friendship that was never really implied or delved into much in the series when Gilda made her appearance. All in all, I like it. :twilightsmile:

Looks like you miss the point of the show.

Love your enemies.

The only problem I have with this story is that it is marked as "complete".

Hint hint :ajsmug:

No chance of that happening, my friend.
While I admire the whole idea of "Love and Tolerance" as some other ponies call it, I'm afraid that's where I'm divided.

This SO needs a sequal ^^
I really like how the characters act, prefect mix of canon and fanon :heart:

Wonderful stuff here. Wonderful.

Always feels too short, though. Not that your pacing is too quick- I just always want it to be longer than it is. :twilightsmile:

This was all a sorta nice, if kinda dubious, scene, but not much of a “story”. Like this shoulda have been saved by the author to insert into an over arching narrative, maybe about Gilda filling in for Rainbow Dash on the weather patrol as it was setting up. As it is, it’s just kinda, “Okay, now what?”

I'm inclined to agree, but honestly? Back then it was all I had and it was originally part of a collection/series of short side-scenes I never got to finish.

There is one more substantial G/RD story I've felt like telling for a while now, but at the rate my current projects are going, we'll be well into Season 3 when I get around to it. :twilightsheepish:

Thanks for stopping by again! I do always love hearing from you.

Sounds about right. This does feel like a scene from a larger story rather than a story.

That's it? :twilightangry2: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :fluttercry:

This was touching. Now I wanna see Gilda in future episodes. XD

"Sure. You're gonna make one heck of a nurse one day, you know that?" She paused. "Or... or maybe a mom, if you ever go that route..."

Fluttershy blushed deeper. "I'd rather be a veterinarian. That way, I can be of use to as many of our planet's creatures as possible. Good night, Rainbow Dash."

Saying this much with this little is some efficient character building.

"...who knows? Maybe if there'd been a bird in that race who cared enough about me... she'd be my pet right now."

:rainbowderp:

So that's why this is rated T.

...

Ah, fun little story, not least of all for making good use of Tank. Works as a coda to both May the Best Pet Win and Blunder & Lightning at the same time, so well done there. :twilightsmile:

Speaking of Blunder, where Gilda and Dash seemed off to me in that one, they're right on point here. Not above being affectionate and sentimental, but only in private with someone they trust completely, only briefly before they're more comfortable masking it with a layer of bravado and incessant teasing again, and Gilda's prone to being a little bristly even then.
