    Twilight's curiosity pushes her to go where no bookworm has gone before: on dates. Dates with lots of unfamiliar (and not so unfamiliar) mares. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

    A parody of dating websites in general, named after eHarmony.

    Poor Twilight; I think Rarity deserves to be alone until she can get over herself.

    Halfway through Chapter 1 I knew that Rarity and Twilight would get matched together. eventually  Even still, this remains one of the most refreshingly original and fun fics I've read.  Keep up the great work!

    Aw, man. I don't know if Twilight is seriously considering it or if she was just saying that, but I hope she doesn't accept. I'm not really into polyamory, but I guess I'd keep reading anyway if she did, since I hate to quit halfway through. I love the "sugar tits" line, though. :rainbowlaugh:

    For some reason I appreciate a serious part of this: just because two people - ponies - have compatible sexual orientations doesn't mean they will fall for each other. This is often neglected in shipfics and clopfics. Kudos!

    For anyone who doesn't know, Dewdrop Dazzle is a (IMO hideous) recolor of the Twilight Sparkle toy. They've recolored every one of the mane 6 and most of them look awful. As for this story, however, every other line had me in stitches. You are a genius, Ebon Mane.

    The problem is that she'll find out that the other three ponies are Moondancer, Trixie, and Lyra (who still hasn't told anypony about BonBon, or her about them).  :rainbowwild:

    Personally, I kinda hope that we come back to Scratch here.  They seemed like a really good, if unconventional, match, and a pairing I'd never thought of.

    Well, to paraphrase Scratch....

    As other commenters have said; Twilight's Dad is one of the luckiest stallions out there.  :coolphoto:
