Endings

“Never gonna give you up,” sang Twilight as she walked through the halls of Omnas Mannis. “Never gonna let you down.” People groaned as she walked past, sticking the song irreparably in their brains. “Never gonna run around, and desert you.” Twilight grinned, seeing the havoc she was wreaking.

“Never gonna make you cry,” sang another voice, causing Twilight to turn and inspect the new Rickroller. “Never gonna say goodbye.” She grinned when she saw who it was and joined in for the next line. “Never gonna tell a lie, and hurt you.”

Twilight cracked up laughing. “Hey Derpy. How are you?”

Derpy flashed a sheepish smile. “Good morning Twilight Sparkle. I’m fine.” Derpy blushed a little when Twilight smiled at her.

“What’s up? You seem a little flustered.”

Derpy gulped and cleared her throat. “Um, well…” The truth was that she had entered this encounter with every intention of asking Twilight out. However, things weren’t exactly going to plan. “Nothing’s up, I just wanted to see if you felt like hanging out for a while.”

Twilight tilted her head a little but instead of questioning her friend further, she smiled kindly and said, “I’d love to. I was just looking for Pinkie, there’s a favour she asked of me, well two actually, and I just finished them this morning. Do you know where she is?”

Derpy relaxed a little. “She stayed over at my place last night.”

“She did what?” Twilight sounded shocked.

“Oh, no, not like that.” Derpy’s cheeks went a deeper shade of pink. “I asked her to come and help me work on a new muffin and we ended up staying up really late while they baked. By the time they were done it was too late for her to head home so she crashed on the couch.”

“I see.” Twilight nodded. She took Derpy’s hand and they walked off in a direction that may or may not contain a Pinkie Pie. “Tell me about these muffins.”

“Well…”

Pinkie was sitting at a table, trying not to fall asleep, when she heard the approaching voices. “No! Absolutely not!”

“But, think about it, imagine—”

“I don’t care what you say there is no way.” Pinkie gulped, this didn’t sound good.

“I don’t see why you would be so opposed to this.”

“No, no, no! It’s immoral. I won’t just stand by and let you attempt to create sentient muffins.”

Derpy sounded almost in tears. “But, why not?”

“Because—”

“Hey guys,” Pinkie interrupted, attempting to both, end the fight and avoid choking on her laughter.

Derpy grabbed Pinkie in a tight hug and buried her face in the girl’s neck. “Pinkie, Twilight Sparkle doesn’t like my idea,” she said sadly.

“I told you she wouldn’t.” She turned a disapproving look on Twilight. “Now look what you’ve done,” she said, reproachfully.

Twilight sighed melodramatically. “Fine.” She pulled Derpy away from Pinkie and hugged her comfortingly. “You do realise, don’t you, that eating them would mean killing them.” She thought for a moment. “I hope,” she added. “It would be amazing if you could create life but would you then want to immediately proceed to end it?”

Derpy pulled away and thought for a moment. “I hadn’t looked at it like that.” She smiled sheepishly. “When you put it that way it does sound a little immoral.”

Twilight rolled her eyes good naturedly.

“Well now that’s out of the way, Twilight, did you finish that thing I asked you to do?” asked Pinkie, brightly.

“Hmm? Oh, yes I did, both of them.” She tossed Pinkie a thick stack of paper. “If that doesn’t get you an A plus then you’ll know I screwed it up on purpose just to mess with you.”

“I would have felt so much better if you’d said, ‘Then I don’t know what will’,” said Pinkie, shuffling through the papers to check for any obvious signs of deliberate damage.

“What did she ask you to do?” asked Derpy, curiously.

Twilight snorted. “Which part, the homework or getting her friends to un-breakup?”

“Oh sure, anything sounds bad when you say it with that attitude,” said Pinkie, trying not to smile.

“Anyway, I found a spell that might just work, well more of a potion.” She reached in to her pocket and withdrew a Mount Franklin water bottle filled with slightly opaque liquid. She tossed it to Pinkie who caught it reflexively.

“This is it?” she asked critically. “You make a wonderful communication-potion-thing and put it in an old, used Mount Franklin bottle. Oh ten out of ten for style there Twilo.

“Twilo?” asked Derpy, frowning.

Pinkie shook her head and looked down at the bottle. “I, um, never mind. How, exactly, does this stuff work and what’s in it?”

“Just water. I put a spell on it for ease of communication. It’s usually used by married people to sort our spats without a divorce lawyer. You just make them both drink a little and then they’ve got about ten to fifteen minutes before it wears off.”

“What’s the catch?”

“Catch?” asked Twilight, innocently

“Yes, it all seems too easy.”

“Well, it would be sensitive to the container, wouldn’t it?” said Derpy, is if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

She must have been on to something because Twilight flushed and didn’t meet her gaze.

“I’m not sure I follow,” said Pinkie, perplexed.

Derpy continued. “Well any compound of that nature would be sensitive to subtle changes in atmosphere and tainted surfaces. It would be volatile in the extreme although not in the same way as nitro-glycerine. If it was altered you wouldn’t even know because the shift would be too minute to register but even that could drastically alter the effect. However, whatever the outcome, the only stable effect is that it has a time cap. No changes are going to become permanent.”

Derpy looked at Twilight, who had exchanged her look of guilt to one of shock, admiration and something else. “I bloody love you,” she said, in awe.

Derpy flushed deep crimson. “It- it’s just obvious when you think abo—”

“Kiss me now you fool.” Twilight pulled the girl in for a passionate kiss. Depy squeaked a little and kissed back enthusiastically. When, at last, Twilight pulled away for breath, she said, “You, follow me.”

Derpy’s cheeks had gone an elegant shade of deep scarlet. She grinned a little and there was the definite impression that, if she had ears, they would have perked up in excitement. “Yes please.”

“Ciao, Pinks, I have plans,” said Twilight as she headed off at a brisk walk, trailed by a dazed but ecstatic looking Derpy.

Pinkie, who had watched all this with a huge grin on her face, merely waved cheerfully. She hummed a little tune and skipped off in search of Applejack. This was going to be fun.


Rainbow Dash lay on her back, staring up at the ever-shifting clouds that swirled overhead. Applejack could keep her family orchard, Rainbow owned the sky. It was her domain and she was queen, in all her years she had never met a more naturally talented flyer. And yet, that had never seemed so hollow until now. What did I really do to earn this? Nothing. I was born with a gift and then proceeded to rub it in everyone’s faces. Why did that never seem so childish up until now? Why does it seem so important all of a sudden? Why am I asking all these questions? Frowning, Rainbow rolled over on the soft cloud-stuff, and faced her girlfriend, who was currently starring unperturbed up at the azure sky. “What does infinity hold, Fluttershy?”

Fluttershy blinked in confusion. “That’s very deep and philosophical, where is all this coming from?”

“I don’t really know,” said Rainbow, not entirely honestly.

“Well,” said Fluttershy, after a short pause, “I would think that it holds everything, everything that ever was, is, or ever will be. Infinity is beginningless and endless.” Fluttershy knew that, if this was important, Rainbow would elaborate and so did not press her or more details.

After a long, considered, pause, Rainbow said, “And where do we fit in that?”

“Think about a blip, like, a tiny little blip in a tape that plays for a thousand years. Think of that blip as less than a millionth as a second long. Now zoom in on that blip until it seems as long as the first tape and repeat this process forever. We are practically nothing.”

“Doesn’t that bother you?” This was getting closer to the heart of the matter but still, this wasn’t the whole story.

“Why should it? I have friends, I have a place to live and I’m happy. Against oblivion there really are only two things that work; denial and acceptance.”

“And you accept that one day even your name will just be a collection of sounds with no more meaning?”
“Have you been reading The Fault in Our Stars?” Fluttershy asked, a small smile on her face as she continued to resist turning her gaze from the sky.”

“Huh?”

Fluttershy’s smile broadened. “Oh, nothing, just a thought.”

There was a long silence this time but Fluttershy didn’t mind, she knew Rainbow was thinking about something and was content to continue to study the birds and clouds that passed whimsically overhead. A pair of robins flitted around playing some sort of chase game, both birds chirping cheerfully as the game progressed. The high altitude winds were strong today, meaning that the clouds were quickly forming and reforming. For a time, Fluttershy amused herself with finding shapes in the clouds. One looked a lot like a fluffy white bunny. It was very lifelike and very cute, right up until the point where a gust of wind sent an unfortunate wisp of cloud across it. Fluttershy blushed a bit at the gesture the bunny now appeared to be making. What an angel, she thought, sarcastically.

At last Rainbow spoke. “What do you want from me, Shy?”

Fluttershy blushed as the answer ‘I can think of a few things.’ Lined itself up on her tongue but she bit back the remark and considered properly. “What do you mean?”

“Don’t you get it? I’ve got nothing. I watch you every day and I could watch you for the rest of my life but don’t you see? We’ve been together for, what, a month now? And already I’ve taken your house, your inheritance, most of your belongings and your parents. In return I’ve given you a crappy apartment and lousy food.” There was another sentence, hanging off the end of that rant and Fluttershy could pretty much guess what it would be. ‘I’m scared that one day you’ll realise you made a mistake.’

Fluttershy was entirely taken aback. Rainbow never acted this way, she was always so strong and resilient. The only time Fluttershy had seen her even a little bit vulnerable was that first kiss. Since then, if anything troubled her, she kept it to herself. But is this really a break in character? Is this something she’s felt all along but been too afraid to say? Tentatively, Fluttershy reached out a hand and placed it on Rainbow’s shoulder. “Dashie, you’ve given me something my parents never did; you accept me for exactly what I am, don’t you see how much more important that is than any of the things I’ve lost?” Fluttershy slid closer to get a better look in to those beautiful cerise eyes. Typical Dashie, even now she won’t let me see that she’s scared.

After another longish pause, Rianbow said, quietly. “I just don’t know what you want from me.”

“You, Dashie, that’s all I want.” She closed the small gap between them, bringing their lips together for a tender kiss, “All I want is you.”


“So, one sip and she’ll talk to me?”

Pinkie nodded, deciding to leave out the part about the potion being extremely volatile. “That’s what Twilight told me.”

“Ok, thanks Pinkie, I owe you one.”

“You can repay me right now by promising never to listen to queen ever again.”

“Over my dead body.”

Applejack grinned at the memory. “Hey, uh, Rarity?”

Recognising the voice, Rarity said, crisply, “What do you want, Applejack.”

Applejack extended a hand, in which was a martini glass filled with a soft pink liquid. In it was a small green umbrella with the word ‘deviant’ written on it in tiny messy letters. “Peace offering?” she tried, hopefully.

“That’s not fair,” said Rarity, sighing and taking the glass. It was true, this was Rarity’s favourite drink and the umbrella was a reference to the first thing Rarity had said upon meeting Applejack.

Applejack slumped on to the seat in front of the bar, at first, not noticing the extremely attractive girl sitting next to her. “One pint, please,” she said, tossing the bar tender a few bits.

“Same,” said a voice. Applejack turned and took in the appearance of a slender girl with large blue eyes and the most luxurious purple mane of hair that the farm girl had ever seen. Probably the most noticeable thing about the stranger, though, was that her entire outfit was different hues of pinks and greens.

Usually, Applejack wouldn’t have said what she said next but it had been a long day and she hadn’t come to the bar because it had been a good, productive one. “Pink and green should never be seen,” she said, idly taking a sip from her stiff cider.

The girl tipped her hat, as though she had been thoroughly expecting this remark, in doing so, revealing letters along the top that read ‘deviant.’ “Dear, think of all the people who get rich and famous, they always do things a little differently, they’re never the kind of people who play by the rules, sometimes, to get anywhere in life, you need to be a deviant.”

The glasses chinked as Applejack raised one of her own in a toast. “To three fucking awesome years.”

Rarity winced but smiled as well, the statement was one hundred percent the Applejack she had fallen in love with. She was crass sometimes, but she always spoke from the heart. She had a deep down, gritty reality that Rarity had always admired. “Indeed, it has been a good run.” Rarity took a small, delicate sip from her glass in acknowledgment of the toast just as Applejack did the same.

Then it happened.

“Well fuck. What the bloody hell was in that pisswater? I feel fucking queer.” said Applejack, after a considered pause.

“Struth! Why’d ya give me that shmancy garbage? What do I gotta do to get a good coldie around here?” Rarity’s hand flew to her mouth when it dawned on her just what she had said.

“You dag. Don’t have to sound so proper all the time. Here.” She reached in to a satchel, withdrew two bottles and handed one to Rarity, who examined the label.

“X X X X?” she asked, quizzically.

Applejack, who had already opened her bottle, took a sip. “Ah, that’s the stuff, dry as a dead dingo’s donger.”

Shrugging, Rarity opened her own bottle and took a sip. “Bloody oath, that’s much better.”

The two sat in companionable silence for a while, content to enjoy a bear with a mate. At last, Applejack had had enough of the surprisingly strong liquor to make her say. “Ya know, I miss this, I miss us just hanging out.”

Rarity snorted in to her beer. “Aw ya skirt, you’re starting to sound like one a’ them romantic types.”

“Well I just might be a romantic type ya ****, dun’ mean it’s not true.”

“Fair dinkum,” said Rarity, quietly. “But it was your fault.”

“How d’ya figure that, ya bogan?”

“Well it was always you rootin’ with other sheelas wasn’it?”

“I never did!”

“Well that’s firm isn’it? Who’s to say you haven’t been havin’ naughties with other ****s and not told me about it?”

“Why would I go with anyone else? You’re more than enough for me ya daft bitch.”

“Alright, let’s just say ya didn’t. What about that other crap you put me through?”

“Like what? You know what, you’re just doing that same stuff you do everytime ya get a little bored. When thing’s ain’t exciting enough you make drama.”

“What’re ya saying? You breaking up with me again? Well ain’t that just b-e-a-utiful.”

“For starters, ya fuck nugget, I never broke up with you to begin with. And for seconds, well, I knew who you were from the moment I laid eyes on you, dun’ mean I didn’t fair dinkum wanna spend the rest of one fucked up life with you anyway.”

“Jeez, darl’, ya say the sweetest things.”

“You bitch,” said Applejack good-naturedly.

“You ****,” said Rarity, with equal good grace. And with that, it seemed, the fight was resolved.


Pinkie sighed. Since when did helping her friends hook up with other friends mean that she didn’t get to spend any time with them? After all, there had to be some things she could join in with. Pinkie reflected for a moment, then grinned. No, no, nothing like that. Perhaps bowling?

Pinkie jumped down from the bench she had been sitting on. It was time to take action. She wandered through the halls of Omnas Mannis, not entirely sure what she was looking for but looking for it all the same.

“Hey, are you Pinkie Pie?”

Pinkie spun round to see a girl with blue hair and blue tinted sun glasses, she was standing beside an older boy, tall with black hair.

“Yea, I’m Pinkie Pie, who wants to know?”

“I’m Vinyl, this is Neon.”

“Hi,” said Neon. His voice was smooth and very attractive. Pinkie had to swallow a few times before she could make her own voice come out sounding normal.

“Nice to meet you Neon, and you too Vinyl.”

Vinyl, catching Pinkie’s look, winked. “Me and Neon are DJing for a wild party that’s going down tonight, we hear you’re pretty wild when it comes to parties, we could use someone like that, You free?”

Pinkie smirked. “No, I’m very expensive, but in this case I could do a discount. I’ll be there. Can I invite a couple of friends?”

“The more the better,” said Neon, smiling generously.

“Alright then, I’ll need time, place, alcohol being served and sexuality of everyone attending.”


The sun was setting over Omnas Mannis. All the students had gone home but two, those were the two sitting on the roof of a classroom and watching the sky shift through shades of pink and orange. Neither girl was in any hurry to get home, so Rainbow had suggested they go up on to the roof to watch the sunset.

“It’s so beautiful,” said Fluttershy, quietly.

“Yea, amazing, isn’t it, how there’s so much beauty in day to day life that no one ever thinks to appreciate.” Rainbow squeezed Fluttershy’s hand in her own. This moment felt perfect, she had everything she had ever wanted.

Fluttershy wriggled over so she could better snuggle against Rainbow. “I hear Applejack and Rarity got back together,” she said after a moment.

“Hmm? How do you know?”

“Pinkie told me, apparently there was something about an Ozy kiss.”

“What’s that?”

“I don’t know.”

“Hey, speaking of couples who got together, did you hear about Derpy and Twilight?”

“Did they get together at last?”

“Yea, great hey?”

“Good for her, I just hope it lasts.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, sometimes things like that don’t last.”

“We seem to be lasting ok.”

“True.” Fluttershy sounded unconvinced.

“Well, you can hardly ask if something is going to last without specifying how long, some relationships just end sooner than others and that can be ok.” Rainbow Dash smiled sheepishly as she realised she was speaking from absolutely no personal experience.

Fluttershy giggled. “Because you would know all about relationships wouldn’t you, Dashie?”

The two descended in to another contented silence, both happy to watch the sky as the sun made its goodbye performance. Then, like a record slide on the turntable of life, a voice shouted from the ground.

“Hey, are you two going to just lay there for the rest of this chapter or are you going to come with me? Vinyl has invited us to a killer party. Come on, love birds, you can snuggle when you’re dead.”

Rainbow looked across at Fluttershy and grinned. “You up for a bit of fun?”

Fluttershy sighed, but also gave a half smile. “Bring it on.”


“Scratch and Neon's in the club tonight,
Oh yeah ,we're gonna have a good time,
So grab somebody, don't be shy,
It's our job to make you feel alright.
Let's raise the roof, tonight's the night,
We're gonna party till the morning light,
The house is hot. The beat is tight.
We just wanna see ya
Shake it!”

Nine o’clock at night found Fluttershy dancing in a thick mass of people, drink in hand, and utterly consumed by the music. Alcohol still had no effect on her but it was the look of the thing she supposed. Beside her, Rainbow was also dancing but she, very definitely, didn’t have a drink in hand. At the start of the night, she had sworn that she would be completely sober by the time she got to bed.

“Great party, hey?” she shouted over the loud music.

Fluttershy smiled indulgently. “Best I’ve ever been to.”

Rainbow laughed. “Probably the only one you’ve ever been to.”

At that moment, Pinkie Pie dived in between them and started dancing wildly. “Shake that butt!” she shouted.

Rainbow burst out laughing. Meeting Fluttershy really had changed her life. What would my life look like without her? Rainbow looked across at her girlfriend and blanched at the thought. In that moment, She hoped that she would never, ever be forced to find out the answer to that question. I love her and that is never going to change.

The end.

Author's Note:

Wow, it's over, wow, just wow. I could keep typing 'wow' over and over again but that wouldn't be very satisfying. Anyway, I guess there's some important things I need to say but first an foremost is thank you. I know I've said it all before but thank you to every single person who read this story. A big thank you to the people who liked and commented and just a million huge thank yous. When I had this idea I had no idea just how big it would get, this now stands, not only as the longest fanfic I've written so far, but also the longest story at all.

Secondly, I'm sorry if this chapter is a little short and ends a little abruptly but I really didn't know how else to end it. The story was over but I'm not too good at endings. The only other way I could really have wrapped this up would have been with a "Twenty years later" sort of thing and I really don't think that works, at least, not for me.

Now I would like to say that if anyone wants to make an audio reading of this and put it on youtube you have my blessing and my encouragement, that would be super cool. I only ask that you link me to it so I can hear your fabulous talented reading.

It has probably come time that I should address the eliphant in the room so, hello Steve, what are you doing in my bedroom and, more importantly, how did you get through the door? I jest. Seriously, though, I'm from Australia, that's no secret but it's not something I make apparent very often (is it? I dunno) but I read this Harry Potter fanfiction a while ago that was called "Wizard of Auz" which was basically one great big argument for jingoism. Anyway, I thought that this could be the perfect opportunity to give the pony world its equivalent, seeing as, to the best of my knowledge, no on has done this before. Australian vocab is rather robust so I ended up bleeping some of the more crass words that wouldn't harm these toughened Ozy ears for the benefit of you Americans and English people. (Are there any Londoners reading my stories? That'd be cool)

As always I need to give credits. The first song I referenced was "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley and the second was "Pony Rock Anthem" by a whole bunch of awesome bronies who I don't know the names of.

This is just a thought, but I was considering writing another chapter just going through and explaining all the references I made and showing what I was referring to. I dunno, what do you think? Anyway, In closing, thanks a million and I'll see you again next story, ciao for now.

That was a fun ride and a good story. Now this is my own and probably unbased as hell opinion, but it seems like the potion for Applejack and Rarity seemed to be just the strongest and fastest working alcohol to man or something equally powerful. Continue onward my good author to your next story.

2149377 Why thank you :twilightsmile: glad you liked it.

Hmm, yea, that joke probably doesn't make much sense. See, I was trying to hind, through Derpy, that it would be sensitive to atmosphere so, put it in a bottle that was made in Australia, they start talking Australian. It doesn't make much sense but, hey, excuse for jingoism. :pinkiehappy:

It feels a bit unresolved and anti-climatic, but that's just me being picky. It was a great fun to read and I hope to see what else is up your metaphorical sleeves.

I will now talk for the people: WE WANT SEQUEL:flutterrage:
Otherwise it was a really well written story :twilightsmile:

what the hell do you mean toughened ozy ears americans curse just as much, can't speak for the english

2149715 Yea, I get what you're saying. I've said it before and I'll say it again; I'm not all that great at endings. However, I'm glad you liked it anyway and I'm pleased to report that my metaphorical sleeves are jam packed with fantastic wonderful good decent mediocre not totally dreadful ideas. :twilightsmile:

2149743 Hmm, a sequel eh? *Taps teeth with pen* I don't know what a sequel would be about. Maybe the mane six (seven including Derpy) end up in America and start acting out Friends... that could be fun. No! Bad flutterdashforever! That's an awful idea... isn't it...? :rainbowhuh:

2151537 You clearly didn't grow up with my grandparents. Anyway, there was only one word I bleeped as I have decided never to actually say/write that word but seeing as it's kind of a staple in common Australian lingo, I had to at least hint at it. I don't know, I'm probably the worst Australian you will ever meet. Although I have thrown a boomerang, does that count? :pinkiehappy:

Nice story, I really enjoyed reading it!
I'm also glad that Twilight and Derpy (finally) got together.
I look forward to reading more of your stories in the future, good work!:pinkiehappy:

2151571 and you clearly did grow up with my grandparents they said what ever came to mind no matter how racist, sexist, or just words you don't say at all

Okay, so it's a little anticlimactic and abrupt, but at the same time, it's far from the worst ending! I've seen much worse! XD So worry not, it's far from a bad ending. It does just feel like there needs to be more, you know? While at the same time, still fairly satisfactory since it did tie up all the loose ends. So, that does count for something! :pinkiehappy:

This was a very enjoyable story, it really was. I enjoyed reading it, and of course, I can never get enough of FlutterDash. :pinkiehappy::derpytongue2: Well done! I look forward to whatever else you have up your sleeve! :twilightsmile:

2151791 Hmm, alright, you win.

2175822 I'm glad you enjoyed it. I shall endeavour to make my future stories just as enjoyable. :twilightsmile:

2184588 yay for hollow victories

:pinkiegasp: :rainbowderp: :rainbowhuh: :twilightoops: :applejackconfused: :ajbemused: :applejackunsure: ......OKAY!! What the f*ck was up with that part with Rarity and Applejack?! They seemed about as drunk as Rainbow was earlier....perhaps even more so!!! Nonetheless, I enjoyed the whole thing from the first chapter to last. I'm booking this whole story as a fav.

Oh and to emphasize what someone else said on here...

:flutterrage: FEED!! ME!!! SEQUEL!!!!
:fluttershyouch: ..if that's okay with you...

That was great!
:pinkiehappy:

Also sequel?

2232625 D'awww, thank you. :pinkiehappy: I'm always happy to hear people like my work. About that bit with Rarity and Applejack... hmm, maybe that joke was a bit too jingoistic. Either that or no one actually knows what an Australian accent sounds like. They weren't supposed to be drunk, they had taken a potion which caused them to speak like Australians for a period of time. Maybe I just didn't write it well. :derpytongue2: Still, glad you liked it. I don't know what a sequel would be about but I'm always happy for other authors to write stories based off my fanfics.

2246929 Why thank you :twilightsmile:

A lot of people seem to be in favor of a sequel :applejackconfused: I honestly don't know what would happen next. I'm a teenager and, as such, don't really know how adult relationships are supposed to go. I guess that's why I always seem to write in a high school. :rainbowwild: But, being as this was the end of the high school year for Dashie and Shy, I can't really imagine where they'd go next. Like I've said before, though, I'd be more than happy (and more than a little flattered) if someone else wanted to write a sequel to this. :twilightsmile:

2254578 yea I guess you're right. Oh well, I can always re read it

This story was ok i don't like flutterdash especially if there was a preexisting relationship in the beginning of the story it just felt like everyone was OOC i read this for the rarijack i am all for the hot makeout sessions of the opposite attract ship, i just couldn't ever get into flutterdash for some reason. other then that everyone got someone but pinkie didn't at least i don't think she got with anyone.:pinkiesad2:

2266232 Yea, I see what you mean about OOC. I seem to have very strong head cannons which not everyone agrees with (ie I don't let the fact that there is no chance in hell that they would actually do some of the things they do in this story stop me from writing it.) I'm glad you persisted even though Rarijack was a fairly minor ship in this story. Maybe someday I'll get around to writing something solely Rarijack at some point... if I'm not too lazy. :derpytongue2:

2266733
Every little bit counts there just isnt enough rarijack. yeah everyone got their own headcanon even i do. to be honest i used to like pinkiedash but then i noticed how much time Twilight and Pinkie spend together i realized twipie was meant to be. so i am trying to guess who pinkie ended up with she ended up with one of the DJs right? that would so suit her and her wild party animal ways.

2266786 Probably Neon but our dear Pinkie would probably be quite indiscriminate so possibly both... :pinkiecrazy:

2267098
ah bi now that's how pinkie is in my headcanon as well she's bisexual so she prefer either so yeah why not both. i actually kinda like the pinkie/neon thing they both love to party.

Finally remembered this story and finished it. :pinkiehappy: glad I did too.
It was a fun journey but one I wish ha gone on another chapter or two. It kinda felt like a case of ok they are all together... I can end it here... Kind of thing.
I like how flutters and rd had so many cute moments between them. the most outstanding 2 moments for me was the classroom scene where dash told every pony she was gay and so didn't need to participate in the sex ed class :rainbowlaugh: I think I'll use that in crashing angles later on .. If you don't mind :pinkiehappy:
Moment two was the cloud cuddle scenes. Although I couldn't help but picture them as two cute Pegasus ponies while snuggling on e cloud :scootangel:

It's usually nice to have a few nice moments at the end where they celebrate the win or cuddle down with their lovers etc etc.
but there's always next time :rainbowwild::yay:

2567080 Glad you liked it. I would love to think my story had inspired a moment in someone else's so feel free to borrow whatever you like. I shall look for it when I read crashing angels. :twilightsmile:

(My proofreader did tell me off for that moment, apparently she could still get STD's but hey, who needs reality when you've got a great Rainbow Dash moment.)

This is still just a concept but I do have plans for another humanized Flutterdash of a similar vein so keep an eye out for that. :pinkiehappy:

2895585 I really approve of your taste in music. :twilightsmile:

great story, i think that this is the first story that shipped derpy
but i digress great story now i shall read your other stories

3072457 Yes it is one of my favorite cliches of all time. :twilightsmile:

3072669 My headcannon of Twilight is that she would be very internet savy. She has at least four tumblr accounts. :twilightblush:

3072866 On the contrary, if you throw Derpy into the story finder thingy and ad Pinkie and a romance tag, you can find some really aderpable stuff. There was this one I read called Derpy Gets Fired I think. That was was SUPER cute. Anyway, I digressed further than you did. :scootangel: Glad you liked the story. :pinkiesmile:

Loved it. I like (acutally hate, but I like due to good story telling [mainly though I hate due to me wanting no one to be left out (although sometimes it makes it seem unreal) of relationships] in romnace tags [wow, digression]) how there was turmoil and pain that made it feel real enough. RD and Fs were turmoiled in the beginning, (spoiler alert) (except for the dad part [what a sweet little alicorn shit]) R and AJ later on, and PP,TS, and D in the middle/end. Everyone was FUCKED at some point. Anywho loved it a lot. Keep writing great things. Now if you will excuse me, I am going to wash my hands (as opposed to washing my tongue). :twilightblush: :facehoof: :rainbowkiss:

*Makes a not very subtle comment about oblivion that makes absolutely no sense.*

3634780 A gripe I have heard more than once. To be honest, if I were to rewrite this story, that'd probably be one of the things I'd change. See, if nothing else, I tend to project myself onto my characters and, in this instance, there was some weird shit going on in my life. Suffice it to say that, if I were to rewrite, I'd make Pinkie bi-curious, but having only had straight experiences. I have defended that moment by saying that Pinkie is mostly just playful. She's actually also based a little on a friend of mine who would totally do that, simply as a way of playing the other side, if that makes any sense. I dunno, I like to think I've gotten better at writing since then, so... *shrugs* Anyway, I'm glad you liked the story despite that little gripe. :twilightsmile:

4111522 One year, three months and seventeen days since I posted that chapter and someone FINALLY noticed. You, good person, are my favorite. :twilightsmile:

4136550 mind telling me what i noticed:twilightblush:

4226185 The cupcakes reference. When I posted that chapter lo those many moons ago, I thought that, surely, all the comments would be "haha, I saw that cupcakes reference" but then nothing. Not one peep. I was just glad that wasn't entirely wasted. To be completely honest though, about 97% of the references I made in this story were either not noticed, or simply not commented on. I kinda ended up playing a game of "what can I slip in that no one will actually notice?" :trollestia:

I can't believe it, even derpy
