Joining the Wonderbolts means a lot of things. It means fame, glory, honor. Sometimes, it means simply... flying home alone.

Thumbs up for writing style, but I personally don't heavily approve raibowpie. I don't mind the ship, but I'm a personal fan of Raridash
2316603 RariDash is my OTP as well fran
I'm not sure why it ended up Pinkie, actually.
2316612
Congratulations on recruiting me. 
I'm well aware of that. In fact, you were one of the first authors I read and thus it's mainly because of you I even fell into this ship. I have yet to see someone make a better one!
2316636 Perhaps I'll return to it!
I'm glad you enjoyed it
2316655
Well I hadn't finished it at the time, I was going on the general concept.
And now that I have read it through, I am very glad that I did. It captures the pair perfectly for me, not the sort of very deep and intimate relationship that I envisioned with my RariDash. A casual, yet meaningful 'more-than-friends' relationship that lets them be very wild and extroverted as per normal.
Really wonderful for a one-shot, I'm pining for more!
This was nice. There seems to be a lull in the amount of PinkieDash being posted lately, so its nice to see one pop up. The introspective tone was an interesting choice as well, especially for Dash - I quite enjoyed it.
2316728 Even Dash can be a little introspective
She's a bit rusty
but she can sure try when it's Important.
Speaking as someone who lives this lifestyle... well, i'm having a hard time finding words. Melancholy.
Deja vu, even. How did you know I do this every other week? Mustering the will to get up and go. Three hours, in the dark, looking at the houses and towns going by, places I've looked over dozens of times. Knowing where I am not by milage markers or roadsigns, but by particular curves in the highway. Remembering which gas station has decent coffee at two in the morning. Crossing thready rivers whose paths meander in a broad sandy wash... or sometimes fill it bank to bank if there's been a strong storm upstream. Using music to make the time pass without dwelling on the separation.
And at the end of it all, a precious few more hours of sleep before showtime...
I am amazed, and I have to say you've captured the mood and feeling perfectly. Sometimes, doing what you love for the ones you love means being apart from the ones you love, and there's a sad tension there.
Thank you, Cynewulf, this is beautiful. Even if you didn't intend for it to be something big or special, this is a life not many know... but you've caught a slice of life few ever see.
2316749 I'm really, really glad you liked it. And I'm humbled by your comment, my friend, thank you
2316756
And I see I forgot to comment on the characters themselves... I guess I know where my mind is at.
I love the muted, slow pace, and how you've rounded out RD and Pinkie by not having them act as everyone expects, but as real people might. Pinkie deserves more treatment as a normal Pony who happens to enjoy being silly, rather than one who's locked into being random and unserious. And Dash deserves to be treated as capable of introspection and contemplation.
There may be sadness to your story, but only the kind that comes from finding happiness, and there's a comforting warmth to that.
That was excellent. It's been years since I lived this kind of life, but you captured it so well it feels like yesterday.
What happens if you accomplish your life's dream only to discover that there is something else, something more. And what if those two don't mix?
This.
Yeah, this is pretty much the only way I can see RD joining the 'Bolts going.
I like this.
If you wanted me to think "North Central Positronics" you succeeded.
---------
Space.
To...? To her room?
No comma.
"a while"
Cyne's favorite music fic is go!
Good tone, as others have said. Everyone before me pretty much pointed out anything I could add to the conversation.
I know it must have caused you physical pain to ship RD with Pinks instead of the sweet mistress of your dreams
Every time I read another one of your fics, your writing style allows me to look forward to your other incoming fics even more. Especially the Lord of the Yokes.
Another quality idea turned into lovely prose, as usual. The only thing I found worth mentioning was this:
How many chests does she have?
> I kind of wrote RainbowPie am I cool now
Yes
Not exactly a fun life she'd built here, but it's not always about fun. Sometimes you do what you have to for your future, especially if that future involves someone else.
And Twilight made Dash a voice-activated iPod - nice. Possibly during one of the rare times she took a break from snuggling with Mac.
2317311 Yay! I'm glad to hear it
2317387 *throws references at you forever*
You've never heard pushed the door to? Too? Huh
2317392 Lord of the Yooookes
She has many
2317393 Excellent. Level up!
2317512 Love is ceasing to have TwiMac cuddles to magic up iPods.
Also, I think some parts are fun. I think being a Wonderbolts is really great and fun and exciting and her passion... but you have to pay for the fun a little
2318304
It was? HaHA!
Also, no. Must be a regional thing.
I like the little touches of magictech here.
2318313 You and I are divided by our shared language
2318318 Yay! I did too. They were fun
2318323
Alas, the spacial separation has given rise to other, more word based problems. 'Tis saddening.
Pinkie is my least favorite of the Mane 6 and Pinkie ships are consequently my least favorite ships, BUT I do love me some introspective Rainbow Dash. Nicely done. Melancholy, but not completely depressing.
2318550 Nope, always a bit of happy sometimes
Pinks is definitely not my favorite. I like her... just... not as much.
2318559
we all know Dash likes to shamelessly flirt with Rarity who denies liking it. i liked this story but i always think its best for the author to stick with writing for ships and characters they themselves like because well its easier to write for a ship and character you like. like i can't write flutterdash or any fluttershy centered story.
well what do ya know Fluttershy is my least favorite i could care less about her. i just happen to love pinkie and applejack. so yeah i go after anyone who says anything negative about them.
This was really nice.
Calm and quiet, smooth. A small little thing with character.
It felt like one of those overcast days, when it just drizzles the whole while and everything's a muted grey.
One of the better feelings for me. I enjoyed it.
Then again, whenever a story takes the time to subdue Rainbow for a moment, I tend to appreciate it that much more. It's a facet of her we don't often get to see, and it's good when it comes out, if only for a couple thousand words.
Well done, Cyne.
Not bad, not bad.
All of my yes.
Ohh, and HOLY SHIT KITS COMMENTED ON YOUR STORY, CYNEWULF
2321359 Way to play it cool, yo. :P I know I was really excited I tried not to be a fanboy an' stuff
2320223 I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Ever since reading Salvation, I have liked introspective Rainbow. It's interesting.
2321369 I couldn't help myself...
...
But it's Kits!
Not bad. Hope to eventually see more.
This might be one of my favorites from you, Cyne. Sure, it wasn't without flaws, but...
I felt it. I felt what Dash felt. Completely. If there's one thing you do exceptionally well, man, it's characters. You put me right into Rainbow's horseshoes with this. Her thoughts and actions just felt so real; for a moment, I was Rainbow Dash. I could probably ramble on about emotions and the message and whatnot, but honestly that'd just bore you. In short: a great one-shot, man. More than worthy of my favorite and thumbs-up
2326681 Aww!! Thank you. I'm blushin' man. :3
I'm really, really glad you like it
Very cute and interesting seeing a different side of Rainbow.
9:30- I pull up Fimfiction
9:31- I see that Cynewulf has written a fic with my OTP
9:35 I stop dancing and start reading
Very good, very good indeed. As others have said, it's nice to see this other side of Rainbow and the atmosphere felt very real. If you ever feel like doing more with this fic/pairing, I wouldn't object :)
2328915 Thankya!
2329163 I might! I 'unno. It just kinna happened. I don't mind though. :3
Ha! You were cool before, but I'm not gonna turn down a bit of RainbowPie.
I really like this. It's more of a vignette, I think, but it's a really, really lovely vignette. Melancholy's a good word for it. But even the sad parts have some happiness in them, while the happy parts have some sadness, and I enjoyed that. This felt very true to Rainbow Dash as a character, her dealing with her conflicting loves and loyalties with the plan of "fly really fast and really far, really often." And it rang true on a personal level, as I've done the long-distance commute to be with a loved one, myself.
2331265 Yay! I'm really, really glad you liked it.
This was really lovely. It felt ... happy, and also weary? It's great to see this side of Dash.
2333354 Anyone can feel worn!
Thank you, I'm delighted that you enjoyed it. :3
I've been meaning to get to this for a while, but holy gosh, school's a bummer. I should be doing math homework, but I'll never understand it anyway. Oh, yes, the story!
There could have been more of a story to it, but I can see the reason why you kept it so; ending there gives that somber feeling and packs it up tight. It certainly did for me. I loved how Rainbow's character played into this; wanting to be there both for something she loves and for somepony she loves. Despite the difficulties and the challenges, she attempts to keep that balance of being both with in Cloudsdale and Ponyville. We can see how much it affects her and how hard it is for her, and overall, you really do feel for her. Like I said, I'd love to see more to this, but I enjoyed this short piece nonetheless. And after enjoying your stories, in my opinion, I am due to watch you.
2621174 An' I'm honored--say true.
I might come back to them. If I get an idea strong enough, I think I will!
Very nice story (even tho' its not raridash
)
Btw, do you have a bigger version of the title pic?
2694823 not all things can be Raridash! But thankya
I do not! Sadly. Isn't it neat?
It's really sweet. I like it
3195881 Thank you! I really like this one.
Have a soft spot for RainbowPie
Yeah, you're cool now. :V What the heck does "Rainbow faced away from the window and the silent, watchful Dash" mean though?
4555063 It means my oneshots are rarely edited :P
4555105
Well, I didn't want to say anything... :V
4555228 It's Pinks who is watchful
Nah, I almost never have my editor go over these because the majority of them nowadays are throw away or I finish at like 2 AM and just want to post and go back to Night
This was beautiful. Ever plan on writing any other PinkieDash fics?
