Twilight just wants to write something that matters.

Rarity doesn't see anything wrong with dreaming of things that will never happen. Especially not when they involve the friend she harbors secret feelings for.

Princess Luna knows better.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash have been close friends for a long time and, for some reason Rainbow Dash has never been able to understand, it seems as if everyone she knows expects them to get together eventually. To Rainbow Dash's surprise, Applejack abruptly decides that their friends are right and asks her out on a date. To Applejack's surprise, Rainbow Dash immediately turns her down.

Unfortunately for Rainbow Dash, Applejack is nothing if not stubborn, and she declares that she won't give up until Rainbow Dash has agreed to go on a date with her, no matter what it takes.

Winner of the second AppleDash group contest.

Applejack has brushed her mane, put a ribbon on her hat, and there's a sway in her step. Most ponies just want to know who the special pony is.

Rainbow Dash doesn't buy it. Love is mushy, and AJ isn't mushy. Love means liking somepony more than her friends, and AJ would never like another pony more than Dash. Love means missing a game of horseshoes to go tell a pony that she's in love with them, and if there is one thing Dash is sure of, it's that AJ is not going to miss that game... no matter what Applejack thinks about it.

“Hey RD! Come pick me up at the ’Acres at seven. We’re goin’ on a date tonight.”

“What?!”

Applejack seems determined, Rainbow Dash tries to catch up.

After Rainbow's "surprise" for Applejack gets out of hoof, Applejack is left to sort out how she feels about being in love with a pegasus who likes to go too big with every darn thing she does.

Flash Sentry's world sucks. Maybe it's high time he left it.

(Indeed)

Dash wants to help Rarity live out her romantic fantasy. But since Dash hasn't got a romantic bone in her body, she figures she'd better call in some experts...

This was going to be my entry in the 183rd Writeoff contest, "Gone by Morning," but I barely got a handful of paragraphs written by the deadline. So when the 207th contest, "Counterfeit," came along eight months later, I got my act together and finished the story. I'm rating it "Teen" due to assorted discussions of sexuality and such.

Within this glittery lemur cage you shall find a collection of (super) short horse word scenes written to match the requests/prompts of various members of the marsupial alumni. Topics range from the serious to the silly, from the kaizo to the catastrophic, from pieces of shipping to pieces of... well... you know... shenaniganical. The one common element to these is pastel horse women and the antics that they partake in. A secondary element, of course, is Skirtsian randimosity.

You have been forewarned.

Rainbow Dash has it all: a life of mystery and suspense, ups and downs, adventure and calamity. As time goes by, she finds herself swiftly becoming the most daring, awesome pegasus in all of Equestria.

She would gladly give it all up, though, just for a chance to tell Applejack how much she loves her.
