All Rarity wanted was an opportunity to style that rainbow-colored mane, but–

Not again!

Note: This story does not ignore the Filly-Rainbow-Dash-Flashbacks in the show. It just assumes that those flashbacks are what her friends imagine when she tells them about something.

Many Thanks to Cherry Frosting for being the first prereader I've ever had,
and to Bookish Delight for not only being an awesome prereader, but motivating me to actually finish the story, too. (Yes, I have convinced the Bookish Delight to preread this story. There may have been some whining involved at one point - or three)

Edit: Whoa! This story made it to the top of the Popular Stories box for a moment. This was as much as I could ever hope for...
Thank you so much, all of you.

Why this has not so many views? It's written excellently!

The mane six are known for being the best of friends, and what a better game for friends to play together than Truth or Dare? But when Fluttershy, Rarity and Rainbow Dash hangout together and play the game together it can get rather messy.

Please note the cover is temporary until I commission an artist.

When she catches a bad case of pegapox, Rainbow Dash cannot fly up to her cloud home. Grounded and quarantined in Ponyville, she is taken in by Rarity and Sweetie Belle, who vow to nurse her back to health. Can the pegasus survive her well-meaning caregivers long enough for Twilight to find a cure--and why is the weather turning so weird?

When Rarity and Rainbow Dash discover that they disagree on a point close to their hearts, they decide to settle their differences the only way two mature mares can: by forcing each other to embarrass themselves.

Someone actually thought this fic was worthy to be in the Twilight Library. Well... if you say so.

Starlight Glimmer's attempts to stop the Rainboom pulled Twilight Sparkle into many possible timestreams.

In one, Rarity and Rainbow Dash survived Nightmare Moon's victory over the forces of light, eventually attaining positions of prominence and comfort in the Nightmare's service. But when the unexpected visit of an Alicorn and Dragon sheds light on a growing conspiracy against the wicked mistress of the night, Rarity and Rainbow Dash may yet be inspired to risk what they have gained to join the fight for a better world.

Yet darkness lingers even in the hearts of some who would oppose the Nightmare, and not all agree on what a better world would look like...
