How do you make someone realize that they love you? Pinkie Pie finds herself struggling with this simple conundrum, running and hiding every time the pony of her affections makes an appearance. After a long and unpleasant stay in a dumpster, however, Pinkie decides that enough is enough—it's time to take matters into her own hooves.

Now in addition to discovering her one true love she must deal with irate spouses, horny princesses, and what seems like more than half the ponies in Equestria, each clamoring for a piece of the action. But with her best pal Fluttershy at her side, Pinkie is confident that she can overcome any odds—all she needs to do is sneak away to find her first.

Surely things can't get any worse, can they?

Thanks to Kamikakushi, Regocomics, Rainedash, and -TGM- for being the pre-readers Pinkie needed.

Twilight sparkle is a very important pony
She has important royal duties: traveling around the world meeting with ambassadors from other nations, giving addresses, making decisions...She also has her friends.
Some things are more important than other things.

Rainbow Dash has watched herself and her friends grow, succeed, achieve everything they'd ever hoped to achieve. A successful farm, a career as a widely recognized designer, a career in the Wonderbolts, a way to care for even more animals, a beautiful family, a crown.
Sure they don't see each other as often, but the fact that they've achieved their dreams is the most important thing...right?

Prince Blueblood thought the Grand Galloping Gala was over. He thought he could just go to sleep and put it behind him. He never expected to be reliving the same disaster of a day, over and over... and over.

Thanks to all the people who wrote the page and all the people who gave me a little wakeup call and comment to become aware of that fact! You can't see it, but you guys put a real smile on my face tonight.

Also, recently, extra thanks to RD Dash for giving TBNE a thorough editing. I've updated the fic accordingly (7.11.12)

Twilight and Rainbow Dash have both been set up on blind dates by their friends. What could go wrong? What might go right?

My entry for this competition

It's never easy to be in love. It tests your endurance, your mind and your heart. For Pinkie and Fluttershy, things go downhill as ponies constantly tease and ridicule them for being 'fillyfoolers'. Unable to contain her unhappiness that the situation has brought, Pinkie spills out something she never meant to say. Convinced that she's done more harm than good, Fluttershy decides to leave Pinkie, in hopes that the young baker will find 'true' happiness. Will the pair be brought back together, or is this really the end to their relationship?

Contains same-sex shipping. If you strongly dislike same-sex shipping, I would advise that you do not read this story.

Dear Reader:

I'd like to thank you, firstly, for taking up your time,
For what I've written here is just a kindly little rhyme,
About a Pinkish Pony, who with help from her friend true,
Overcame her struggle with the little dog so blue.

Pinkie and Fluttershy are two Ponies who don't have very much in common. But, one day, they meet in the forest and learn a bit more about each other.

Pinkie Pie loves her friends! And they love her too. Yay! Except when she throws them parties for every little thing. They decide to have an intervention, and let the party planner know how they're feeling.

This story is a sequel to Seeking Love in Laughter

On their first date, Pinkie Pie convinced Fluttershy to let loose to overcome her hangups about dating. Now it's the day after, and the two ponies realize that making one date work doesn't set the foundation for an entire relationship. Especially since Fluttershy isn't sure she can maintain the sarcasm and teasing that let her relax so well the night before.
