Rainbow Dash was always concentrated on getting better, faster, more agile. She never had time for stallions or mares, and both mind and body complied.

But you can't help who you fall in love with. It was just unfortunate for her that the other pony had to be Lightning Dust, and their friendship would shortly thereafter be forever severed.

Written for F* This Prompt #12: 'Rainbow Dash is a lesbian'. Thanks to Majora for proofreading.

This story is a sequel to Fed up

Things just never seem to settle down for the fair sun princess; even when she intends to make way for things to settle down. Despite three separate princesses and one princess in training, there’s always something that seems to come back to bite her in the but. First it was her previous student showing up with a despicably large superiority complex. Then it was Chrysalis’ threats not being quite as empty as she thought, as she happened to say hello to her sister. Couple those things with the perpetual worry that something else could crawl out of the woodwork, and you’ve got a recipe for a vacation that Celestia is trying really hard--and half failing-- to enjoy.

Will Equestria survive without Celestia? Will she ever find out who her granddaughter is? Will Equestria be able to hold back Cocoon’s attempt at an invasion? Will Tartarus stay locked up long enough for there to be relative peace? Will her old student ever get her slice of humble pie? Probably, but Celestia really doesn’t want to get involved. She’s intent on enjoying her vacation… Even if it kills her.

A story with many different settings that occasionally converge with each other.

Tags will be updated over the story's progression. Cover image will be removed upon artist request.

There are more characters than the character tag will allow, hence the "other" tag.

It was the little things, really. Lightly brushing their hooves against each other when setting up traps, sharing their rations when food was low, the lingering gazes they'd exchange when there was free time. All of this eventually led Fluttershy to fall in love with Pinkie.

If only that weren't such a bad thing.

If you haven't played the games, and/or have simply little to no knowledge of the Homeworld universe, I'd like you to point out anything that doesn't seem to make sense, or that appears to require inside knowledge to understand, in the comments. I will either alter the story to explain it, or simply explain it myself in response.

The timeline of the story is set prior to the finale of Season 4, nothing further from that in the canon has been implemented (no twilacorn, the Elements of Harmony are still intact, the Griffins aren't poor, and the Dragons aren't ruled by a tyrant).

Edited by AlicornPriest up to chapter 10, I believe.

Special thanks to:

Icebeerg and Wobble, for looking through the story.

Zaid ValRoa for editing and advice on the revamped short description and looking through the story.

Section for getting me into social sci-fi in the first place with the excellent Foundation stories by Isaac Asimov.

After another horrible blind date, Octavia resolves to give up romance for a while. Naturally this gives Vinyl the idea to set her up on a few (dozen) dates at once.

Octavia is not amused.
