Rainbow Dash always faced her problems head on. Especially if she got to kick a dragon. But when she does something that not even the closest pony to her heart can forgive, she decides that she has to run, and run she does. Run to the wonderful world of Animal Crossing, where the only thing she can't do is run.
This is part of a pre-reader prompt exchange.
Prompt: She'd always said she wouldn't be caught dead like this, not if she had a choice. Well, it turns out that she doesn't have a choice.

:) made me
and 
(ajsleepy one means sad)
Well. First off, I guess I don't know enough about animal crossing. A lot of that stuff seemed to assume I knew what was going on. It was pretty disorientating. Some of the crossover stuff was done well. The leaves as furniture stands out as a well done one. Lucky is the biggest example of something that really seemed like a camero, except I have no clue who that it.
Let's go with the other thing I'm not too fond of (I nit pick because I care!) It's something I've seen in a lot of fics for many of the ponies, but mostly for Dash. None of them really ever seem to think of themselves in terms of their elements unless they are currently using them. When it happens in fics, it seems like they are more filling an office instead of just being that element. It's not that Dash should be unaware of being loyalty, but she doesn't seem to ever harp on it or define herself in those terms. Having her think about betrayal and stuff is fine, but when she starts chiding herself that she's an element bearer, that's when I get a little :/ about the whole spiel.
One issue: son instead of soon in some chapter. Sorry, I didn't write it down :|
The way you didn't tell *why* Dash ran kept me interested enough that I was kept reading. So as a narrative structure, it was effective. Enough so that I kept going despite feeling out of place on the crossover parts.
This goes into my to-read. I love Animal Crossing!
Woah, i never expected an animal crossing fic! I've got animal crossing on my ds, but a mlp fic about animal crossing? Thats cool!
This... This is cool!
Cool.
Ima have to search up roseluck, i think i remember her... but not sure
Oh i remember pinkie talked to her in an episode...
Cute and daffy but annoying cuz now I kinda want to play animal crossing
This definitely felt a bit rushed and isn't as polished or solid as your other work, but it's still a solid fic and definitely an interesting take on the prompt. I spotted a typo or two and if I skim back over I'll point em out.
Aside from a couple of errors in C2 (I didn't makes a note of them, but I'd be happy to track them down again if you want), the whole things was remarkably readable, despite having absolutely no idea what this thing is that you're crossing with.
Now, given your closing statements, I don't imagine any of this will be a huge surprise, but...
The events were noticeably disconnected from the premise of the story. Essentially, the first half vaguely waved itself in the direction of the wider plot (not like that you dirty fiend) while the latter half made the vast bulk of events almost entirely irrelevant. It just lacked the spark that would turn a series of events into a story. I fully cop to being utterly non-plussed by this kind of shipping, but I don't really thing that was the issue here. I think it was more like the lack of subtlety in beating me over the head with Rainbow Dash's 'problem' left me utterly uncaring when the resolution came.
Still, not an entirely unenjoyable read, and since it didn't inspire the urge to sent out winged monkeys to urinate in your breakfast cereal, I have you 5th out of 9 in this competition.

At first in the last chapter in the scene when Dash was admitting what she had done to Pinkie, i was completely covered in my own LIQUID FUCKING GODDAM PRIDE and then be cause of the very last part it took away all of the previous element. other than that, PRETTY DAMN GOOD.
ANIMALCROSSING!!! WOOT WOOT!!!
THIS MADE MY DAY 20% COOLER!!!

"Son" instead of "soon" was in chapter 2. :V
Also, along those lines: I’d "get close to something, and my ” Dash nodded at that." I think you left out something a little important here! :B
Any further comments will be forthcoming, because I'm about to write up a review and post it!
Certain elements seemed superfluous, and the hints to Dash's "problem" came too early and too overtly. She should have just moved to the village without a hint of there even being a problem. But bit by bit we see things are just a bit off, inviting the reader to speculate what went wrong...would have liked to see it that way.
Not gonna bother with full-on critique here. The story had its ups: the final bit with Dash and Pinkie's heart-to-heart was pretty well-done, and certain elements like Sarah's story were also well-written. I liked the way she described the village as a place where fortunes came true; it was a captivating bit of dialogue.
Whelp, from that reaction pinkie had done the same a day after RD with rose. If thats what happened ill shout GG in the middle of a walmart and have someone record it.
Cute little read.
I came across this after I started playing New Leaf a few days ago, my first Animal Crossing game... Now Im curious as to where Isabelle is...
Wow, I just realised how old this story is.
