Rainbow Dash lives an exciting life and is swiftly becoming the most daring, awesome pegasus in all of Equestria. She would gladly give it all up, though, just to confess her love to Applejack.
"At last but not least..." Pinkie Pie glided over to the table at Sugarcube Corner. She slapped down a tray, in the center of which was a glass boat full of multi-colored ice-cream scoops and golden wafers. "...we have the Strawberry Vanilla Explosion!" She winked. "The explosion part happens in your mouth. Just eat it slowly or else it'll happen in your other mouth." She giggle-snorted.
"Hmmmph... Very well." Trixie levitated a spoon and dug in liberally. "The Great and Powerful Trixie will lend her masterful sugar tooth in this sampling!"
"Watch it, Trixie." Twilight smirked aside. "Pinkie's servings are positively crammed with sugar."
"Quite true, darling," Rarity added from where she sat alongside Fluttershy. "You would not wish to overload yourself in the first go."
"The Great and Powerful Trixie knows what she is doing!" Trixie frowned. "If she wanted advice from Twilight Sparkle's esteeemed companions, she would have put up a bulletin!" And she crammed the spoon into her mouth. Seconds passed by. She stared straight ahead. Slowly, her pupils enlarged, and she shook and shook and shook.
"Oh my..." Fluttershy grimaced as the booth and the entire table began rattling. "Are you okay, Trixie?"
"She's..." Twilight encased Trixie in a magical field, stabilizing her. "She's quite fine." She winked at the others, then glanced at Trixie. "Is that right, Trixie?"
"Mffff..." Trixie tried speaking, but all that came out was a hoarse breath. At last, she murmured, "The Great and Powerful Trixie would like some water..."
Rarity chuckled as she slid a pitcher over. "What did we tell you, darling? You should learn to trust us."
"All things in moderation," Fluttershy said with a smile. "That includes sweet things."
Trixie hummed an echoing response as she chugged down several gulps of water. She gulped and exhaled, "The Great and Powerful Trixie has no limits!"
"You just keep telling yourself that," Twilight said. "It makes for a good work ethic, but not so much a practical lifestyle."
"Soooooooo..." Pinkie Pie leaned in, grinning. "Does that mean you like Strawberry Vanilla Explosion? Huh?! Huh?!"
"It... certainly lives up to its name," Trixie said, blushing slightly.
The rest of the girls at the table giggled.
"Oh, it's so precious when you pout, darling!" Rarity winked. "Your face ripens up like a melon. I had no idea."
"The Great and Powerful Trixie is not precious!" Trixie took a deep breath, then tilted her nose up. "But if by the melon analogy you mean to compliment Trixie's healthy complexion, then Trixie thanks you."
"Wow..." Fluttershy blinked. "She even expressed gratitude."
"Do not speak of the Great and Powerful Trixie in the third pony as if she is not here."
"Why not?" Twilight smirked. "You do."
Trixie fidgeted. "You have a point..."
"If you ask me, Fluttershy, I'd say Trixie has been making huge strides." Twilight leaned back against her seat. "You've come a long way from treating everypony as meager peasants, haven't you, Trixie?"
"It would be impractical at this point to do so, even if Trixie is truly higher than everypony else." Trixie fidgeted. "You've all accepted Trixie and given her a means for living that doesn't involve rock farming."
"Well, now that we're chumming it up... relatively speaking..." Rarity cleared her throat. "Perhaps you would allow me the chance to examine those marvelous, sparkling robes you are wearing."
"Bah!" Trixie flinched from her, hissing like a cat. "These are Lulamoon heirlooms! Trixie will not let you cut them to ribbons!"
"Nothing of the sort, darling!" Rarity gave an airy laugh. "I only wish to understand their basic design so that I can get started on making you some brand new ensembles. You look like a mare who would make a great modeler."
Trixie blinked. "You would... make dresses for Trixie?" She blinked again. "For free?"
"Only because I love to do so, darling!" Rarity smiled. "And whenever I make a new acquaintance, it's simply my pleasure to help them accessorize, and you are no exception."
Trixie fidgeted in her seat. "Trixie is... not used to such generosity."
"We figured, Trixie," Fluttershy said. "It just took us a while to get past... uhm, well... you to realize just how fascinating you really are."
"And what's so fascinating about Trixie?"
"Well, uhm... you're creative... well-spoken... assertive." Fluttershy smiled with warm cheeks. "What I wouldn't give to be as assertive as you."
"I dunno..." Twilight smirked. "I can't imagine her walking around, calling herself the 'Great and Powerful Fluttershy.'"
She and Pinkie and Rarity giggled.
Fluttershy brushed a few pink bangs aside and smiled. "I-I might just go with 'Kind and Cherishing.'"
"Trixie agrees. Most complementary."
"Why thank you, Trixie."
"Silence, pegasus!" Trixie scooped another bite of ice cream into her mouth. "Trixie is busy with more explosions!"
Fluttershy blew out the side of her mouth and gazed across the eatery. "Why thank you, Trixie..."
"It only makes sense that Trixie would have a sweet tooth!" Pinkie Pie grinned. "Deep down inside, she's all Pie!"
"And what makes you say that, darling?"
"She hung out with Maud so much that a lot of the Pie rubbed off on her! I just know that the two of them had plenty of rock candy together!" Pinkie glanced across the table. "Isn't that right, Dashie?"
Rainbow Dash snapped out of it, hovering aside the table. "Huh? Rock candy?"
"You of all ponies should remember what Trixie and Maud did together the most!"
"Why me?"
"Silly filly! You're the only one whose head didn't get the zap!"
Rainbow winced. "Pinkie, I was only in Dredgemane for two days. How would I know what Trixie and your sister did to hang out... or if they even hung out to begin with?!"
"I just can't get over the fact that an entire town suffered simultaneous memory loss." Twilight brushed her bangs aside as she gazed past Rainbow Dash in thought. "It sounds like a spell! But, considering the ancient artifacts that likely dwell beneath the upper crust of that bouldery city, it could very likely be the result of some magical phenomenon that none of us mortal ponies fully understand yet."
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhh..." Rainbow Dash smiled awkwardly. "Sure! That works!"
"Trixie..." Twilight glanced aside. "After we've tackled the next few lessons and experiments that I'm working on, perhaps you would be so gracious as to teach me the history of Dredgemane and what you yourself learned there?"
"Mrmmmfff..." Trixie spooned more ice cream into her mouth. Her ears folded back as her cheeks turned rosier.
Twilight glared. "Trixie."
"Hmmm? What?" Trixie jolted. She dabbed her muzzle with a napkin and nodded. "Yes! Rocks! Magic! By all m-means!"
The girls around the table giggled.
"Should I grab seconds?" Pinkie asked.
"I wouldn't if I were you, Pinkie," Rarity said. "Trixie may be courageous, but I doubt her stomach is."
"Hmmmm..." Trixie sighed out her nostrils. "Sadly, the Great and Powerful Trixie agrees with you."
"Well, feel free to dig in, the rest of you!" Pinkie slid several spoons across the table. "I made it for seven, but it looks like we all get a few extra bites!"
"Here you go, Rainbow." Fluttershy slid one spoon towards where she hovered. "You've been quiet today. Maybe this will be the pick-me-up you need."
"Uhhhh..." Rainbow rubbed one forelimb against another. They were so numb at this point that she barely felt them. "I-I'd better not. I'm not a diet."
"A diet." Rarity squinted hard. "You."
"What of it?"
Rarity took extra strength to wrench her eyes off the petite pegasus. "You're generosity, Rarity, not jealousy." She took a liberal bite of vanilla wafers.
"Whelp, even more for us!" Pinkie said before shoving some spoonfuls into her own muzzle. "Mmmm-mmmm!"
"Say... just where is AJ, anyway?" Rainbow Dash boldly asked. "Seems strange for her to pass up a free ice cream session at Sugarcube Corner."
"Oh, she's... uhm..." Fluttershy fidgeted, eyes darting left and right.
Rainbow stared across the way at her. "She's what, Fluttershy?"
The pegasus bit her lip and finally met Rainbow's gaze. "She's... had extra incentive to work on the farm as of late."
"Extra incentive?"
Fluttershy gulped. "Extra help."
Rainbow blinked. Her ears went flat. "Lemme guess..."

New arc time, yay!
Uh - oh.
Trufax.
I'm beginning to wonder if this is or isn't the point where Rainbow's activities for the past few arcs start getting massive attention from other parties...like, moreso than usual. Its effects have definitely reached Ponyville now.
Uh-oh.
Oh this is going to be fun.
Why would Pinkie know that? RD has every reason to hide that little detail.
Oh, who am I kidding. She's probably read the preceding chapters. It's her job to break the fourth wall.
Wait. Then she would know Sunset Shimmer's head also didn't get the zap. Damn it, Pinkie! It's your job to break the fourth wall, so do it properly!

5248930 My thoughts exactly.
Jip. Things might get real here.
5248930
5248948
5248942
Who ever down voted my comment: screw you, get laid. Any way, for the rest of you kind folks: Indeed.
5248930
... Um... Meep?
5249024 You know, meep.
5248995
It was kinda of pointless, tbh. But I decided to be silly rather than downvote.
5248995 Hey, don't look at me! The only time that I would downvote a comment, it's because someone's being a total jerk about what they were saying to you or someone else here just to be mean.
And to be honest, I didn't see anything in your comment to downvote it for!
5249093 I like your passive/aggressive comment. Just let it be known that I am a nice guy, a really nice guy, in fact, I even up voted your rude, snide comment. I am not being a jerk here. So why are you?
5249040
Oh. Meep. Now I meeping get it. Well, meep to you too, my fine meepster. Meep to you too.
I feel absolutely ridiculous.
5249158 Meep.
5249139 Um, thanks.
I think.
And I wasn't aware that I was being either rude, or snide. I was just telling you that I didn't downvote your comment with all the "meeps!" in it.
5249170 If you wish to avoid confusion, then stop composing comments that seem to be sarcastic to the highest, utmost degree. Besides that, how do you do my fine fellow?
yay. sounds like another arc with heavy dialogue/low action. I'm all for it.
I'm excited for this arc!
Fuck. That's all I have to say.
Edit: Okay, that's not all I have to say...
If AJ actually starts dating that dumb douchebag of a pony (no offense), I swear I will be done with this story and cry in my bed and scream, "WHY?!"
5249186 Okay.
And I'm doin' fine. Well, just getting over a bit of a cold, but fine otherwise.
5249782 You're talking about Trenderhoof, I'm assuming. I haven't seen that episode yet, but I hope to soon.
5249935 'Tis good.
Wuh-oh.
movingimage.us/images/exhibitions/media/reaction_gif/michael-jackson-thriller-eating-popcorn.gif
5249976 Cool.
i am 198 chapters in to this i am coming for you mother buckers lol haven't slept very much but soon
I knew, since his second appareance, that that pegasus stallion from the Sisterhooves Social would come and take over parts of RD's life, like her job and her freckles.
Dash is stupid enough to think of him as good for Applejack and try to get them together despite her feelings.
5251331
The worst part is that you're probably right.
5252534
Ah. That makes sense. Is it still up here or have I missed out on yet another fabulous story?
I wonder when TrixiexTwilight will be a thing, as Trixie did say stuff while she was unconscious. Also awkwardness? I love awkwardness.
I feel like each time a new arc starts a theme song should play. one that changes every two arcs.
I swear, if that stallion that was blocking our AppleDash got AJ pregnant or something...
The end of this chapter hurt to read
5249782 I'm a little of half way through this. Been intriguing for the most part but I didn't sign up for the way this is going now >:(
Reading Skirts is sometimes like a literary equivalent of looking at CaptainPudgeMuffin's art.
Look out Big Mac!
Noooooooooo
Ah, hell.
oh, dear. ::::(
