When Twilight finds a horribly distraught Gilda in the library, begging for help with Rainbow Dash, what is she to do? Twilight, the number one expert on friendship, has been asked to help with a friendship issue, so why not? It should make an interesting letter to the Princess if nothing else.

A/N: here is the GilTwi I promised. It took me forever to get all the ideas and what not and special thanks

to For The Plot for all their help on this. Honestly, without that guy I probably would've just skipped this and done a raripie or som- no probably not that but still...
I have no clue where I'm gonna go with this thing, and am actually open to suggestions in the comments.
enjoy!
Knowing full well that I haven't finished it yet, I am setting this in the same Cannon as New Perspective, though it can stand on it's own.

The armies of the the free world — from the Myrmidons of Minos to the Border Guard of Equestria — unite to free the deer nation Nainuoc from a tyrant and destroy his secret doomsday devices.

Critics see a quagmire, cooked up on flimsy pretenses. Supporters see a just war of liberation, for the safety of the world.

Gilda and Trixie see comically large sums of money, drifting softly into their clutches.

Rainbow Dash and Gilda are alike in many ways. They're both totally awesome at flying. They're both totally hilarious. And, of course, they're the only girls at Junior Speedsters that aren't totally annoying and dumb.

However, Rainbow Dash begins to see how different they truly are when Gilda offers her a taste of the bird she's just caught for lunch. Rainbow Dash doesn't eat other animals, and she knows that Gilda is super gross for doing so—but she'll be damned if she's about to let Gilda think she's a wuss. After all, it's just a stupid bird; what's the worst that can happen?

A short vignette about animals and friendships. Originally written in about an hour for the January /fic/ Write-off, "All In." Rated Teen for some minor grotesque imagery. Thanks to Soge and Bachiavellian for offering some insights.

The nice thing about living in Appleloosa, Gilda has discovered, is that you don't have to share the skies with anyone else. There may not be many clouds in the sky for perching and napping, but a warm rock on a high pinnacle can work just as well.

The locals are at least tolerable. Earth ponies tend to be a simple, predictable bunch, prone to routine.

It's when you get out-of-towners coming through, though, that problems can erupt. Especially when too much hard cider is involved.

A party for Rainbow Dash with plenty of strong cider? Count Gilda in! Except Dash is probably the only pony who wants her there.

She shouldn't have come.

A combination of two minifics, "A Trick of Memory," which placed 10th of 27 in the /fic/ write-off "For Old Times' Sake," and "Gilda Has the Floor," which placed 14th of 101 in the /fic/ write-off "The Best Medicine."

Fluttershy's work day took a turn for the awkward when Dash's ex-friend, Gilda shows up at her doorstep begg-I mean demanding she fixes her sick mock turtle, Mochrie. Fluttershy must try to overcome her fear of the loudbeak griffin in order to help an ill creature. But is Gilda really all that bad?

Being a mailpony is often an unrewarding job. You deliver letters and packages, and sometimes you mix things up and other ponies get upset. Still, there's got to be something positive that can come out of such a dull and thankless career, and Derpy is determined to make the most of it.

Even if she never gets any credit for the effort she puts into it.

Edited by the talented Fuzzy Fabricator.

After a visit with her closest friend goes horribly awry, Gilda deals with the fallout of her damaged friendship, spurred on by a confrontation with Rainbow Dash.

Name's Gilda. Ya know, me n Dash did a bunch of crazy stuff back at flight camp. I remember this one time when we... eh, maybe I should start at the beginning... how we met.

A continuation of Dash Eats Meat! (Reading not necessary)
