Can Starlight, Sunburst, and Trixie work together to successfully write a story for a dialogue only writing contest? Maybe.

Is this too meta a plot for my own entry into a dialogue only writing contest? Also maybe.

Will anybody reading this recognize the song that the title is a play on? Almost certainly not.

Anyway, this is my entry for The Dialogue Only Contest, so be aware that it, you know, only has dialogue. Unless I screwed something up and disqualified myself accidentally. What do you expect me to do, proofread this mess? No thanks.

Sunset just wanted to give her friends an Equestrian experience without any magical mishaps, threats to life and limb, or tears in reality.

In hindsight, she really should have known better.

An exquisite corpse from many of the same folks who brought you Cheerilee's Normal Day, with each author only seeing the two chapters prior to theirs. Featuring the work of Jarvy Jared, PseudoBob Delightus, Dashie04, Silver Needle, EileenSaysHi, AltruistArtist, The Red Parade, Fillyfoolish, Bicyclette, The Sleepless Beholder, Rego, and yours truly.

Rated Teen for a precision F-bomb. (Hey, if it works for PG-13 movies...) Cover by PseudoBob.

"Because I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and there’s not a single creature with wings I can think of who is exclusively attracted to the opposite sex.”

Now with a reading!

And another!

Princess Celestia gets legit deaded by everyone's favorite bacon head.

This story is a sequel to Swimming Lessons

Canterlot. The capital city of the great nation of Equestria. It had seen many a disaster over the centuries. But once, many years before Tirek, before Queen Chrysalis, Discord, before even Nightmare Moon, it faced a disaster unlike any other. One that threatened to topple the crown itself by the most unconventional means.

This is the story of The Great Tabloid Disaster.

A sequel to Swimming Lessons, and another side story in the A Tale of Two Suns continuity.

Cover art graciously done by Uz Naimat. Proofreading done, as usual, by Setokaiva.

ATOTS stories have their own TV Tropes page, so feel free to flesh that out.

It doesn't matter what a gift is. It's all in the presentation.

A "non-entry" for https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/1038499/dialogue-only-contest

I am not competing. Do not judge me. Or do, but not the story at least. Anyways, if you want to enter and actually compete, the rules are there and there's 175$ across three prizes (100, 50, 25) to be won. Good luck!

On the last mission to save Equestria, Rainbow Dash was hurt. Not critically and she'll heal, but for now she's grounded. But she also promised that she'd do a Sonic Rainboom at the next Wonderbolts show for Scootaloo's parents, and she is not going to let her girl down.

Solution: get another Rainbow Dash.

There's just two problems.

First, Spitfire knows her team backwards and forwards and she's not fooled.

Second, the human Rainbow Dash doesn't actually know how to do a Rainboom as a pony.

I'm sure this won't cause any problems.

In a miscommunication gone awry, Starlight Glimmer has killed Twilight Sparkle with a fork.

Luckily for Twilight, Starlight's already acquired a resumé in doing the impossible.

She's totally got this.

Coverart created by Lord Destrustor!

After an incident at a dance club in Ponyville, Twilight is thrown out for good. To her horror, she finds out that her dancing is the cause.

Cozy Glow has a lot of problems.

There's the megalomania, of course. Then there's the lying and manipulation, and we can't forget about all that pent-up rage.

Truly, this is a filly in need of a lot of help. After letting her serve a month's time out as a pigeon roost, Starlight's taken pity on the wretched pegasus and given her a healthy outlet for her anger.

That's her official story, and she's sticking to it. Nope, no ulterior motives here.

Rated 'T' for Tom & Jerry style cartoon violence. Nopony actually gets hurt. Reader discretion is advised.
