Rainbow Dash's dreams come true, and fame begins to change her in more ways than she could imagine.

Oh awesome!! I love this story! Glad to see it posted here. I'm eagerly awaiting a new chapter. XD

The scene where Rainbow's with her friends and she finally admits that she made it in is very sweet. It's actually quite lovely. 'specially AJ's hug at the end. Sooooo can't wait for more!!

Hmm, this seems familiar... :P

LMAO!!!! She passed out!!!!!! This is fantastic!

The Equestria Daily

I'd read that paper

Wait...I'm a brony...

I already do

Nice chapter, though the part with the blanket seemed a little undignified, surely they have some magical way of making sure they're not seem ?

Looking forward to the next chapter :twilightsmile:

Wow!
Just wow!
Please make more!

Second?
And thats for the new chapter! :D
I wonder what happens next!

Sweet Odin, Dash... don't go telling Spits you can do things you've never tried! I mean, honestly... :facehoof:

Still, I don't see a Sad or a Tragedy tag, so I'm thinking she'll pull it off. Dunno about you guys, but I think being utterly humiliated in front of half a million ponies immediately after having achieved her lifelong dream would probably fit quite snugly under "tragedy."

I found this fanfic through this Oh how nice of somepony to make you a song!

Oh my gawd. This, so far, is brilliant!

When's the next chapter? Can't wait!

UGH I am dying to see what happens PLEASE oh PLEASE let her pull it off!!!!:rainbowdetermined2:

Rainbow Dash needs to find her happy thought, then boooooom! :rainbowdetermined2:

First?
YES another update! It's been a month and a half! Thankfully i haven't taken this down from my favorites list!
Now to read the story... :derpytongue2:

What the hay?
Why did spitfire....
Huh?
So did rainbow dash made the sonic rain-boom or not?

Everyone crying and grinning hugely at Dash and the epic ovation she gets from the crowd says Yes, she pulled it off.

wow, I love how you explain RD during the rainboom. Must feel painful...:rainbowdetermined2:

503259

Wow dude. critical reading much? XD

504358

Now i'm just wondering why spitfire did that to rainbow dash...
Looks like the rain-boom did do something to her personality!
And where are the rest of the main six cheering on rainbow?

504511

They were there. It's just they're a bit hard to pick out in a crowd of 500,000.

Alright! keep this awesome story going! :twilightsmile:

Awww yeahhh. I'd forgotten about this one entirely and had to go back to read the last couple of chapters before getting started on this one. Glad I did though - this is a great story, and I like the direction things are going. A bit of DashFire at last is ok by me, and if Dash pulled off the horizontal Sonic Rainboom, well, I think it's deserved. Good work, looking forward to your next chapter already :raritywink:

I think I should probably post a comment on here, seeing as this fic has rocketed to my top favorites very easily.

First off, My God, you have an amazing story right here. The suspense was spectacular and the drama is very well put together. You balance it with pillow fights too, that's just awesome. Then when you had Rainbow trying to do the Rainboom? I had adrenaline coursing through my veins. That entire scene was brilliant, mind blowing even. Your chapter six has got to be one of the most emotionally pulling things I've read, not through sadness or depression or sluffy romance, but from masterfully built suspense.

It's all just wonderful.

Then you have that subtle effect of the Rainboom, the wave of apparent nostalgia? That's just s seed waiting to grow and sprout. I mean, the entire reason Spitfire wanted, or craved, Rainbow to do the trick was -- from what I could tell -- because she yearned for that experience again; the memory of flying for the first time, with her now deceased parents. That's a hard hitter, and it just makes you think of how the rest of the team is going to react.

And Spitfire is now going through and mixing her actual feelings with the Rainboom... Just a lot of really subtle and insignificant details that are nagging at you, telling you that this means more than it's letting on, or that this is all going to get really bad, really soon. You haven't even touched on her friends yet either.

Man, suffice to say, I am looking forward to the rest of these chapters. Wonderful story here, you have talent sir and/or madam, talent all over the place :twilightsheepish:

A wonderful story so far with excellent characterizations, excellent prose, and (so far) perfect pacing. I sincerly look forward to seeing how this continues when you get around to it. Until then, thanks for sharing it with us!

Love the pillow part<3 Adds some laughter to it. :raritywink:

I really can't wait for more! Love this fic!:heart:

"oh bottoms up" plays song of bttoms up :rainbowlaugh:

Really awesome can't wait for 7:pinkiehappy:

i guess there is no chance if this getting finished now is there? :ajsleepy: "sigh". *adds to list of amazing stories that will never be finished*.

wait, so are you still working on this?

1153980

Yes, 7 is almost done. I was away for a few months.

Drunk Dashie incoming :rainbowwild:

Also this is my first time commenting on this site

Well, this just made the insomnia totally worth it! Glad to see you back after that long off period with another excellent chapter. Though by the end I had Blue Oyster Cult's "Burnin For You" running though my head. Oh well, still totally worth it. Here's looking forward to reading chapter 8 whenever it comes around. :twilightsmile:

“I’ll have an omelet. Extra crispy, extra bacon.”

“Extra crispy, extra bacon.”

“extra bacon.”

“bacon.”


:fluttershbad:

Oh Celestia I hope this isn't going where I think it is. Atleast we know why every pony loves Rainbow Dash. Looking forward to your next chapter!

309782 Typo's. Typo's everywhere. :rainbowderp:

FUCKING FINALLY! We've been waiting forever. Good thing you didn't disappoint. :pinkiehappy:

Dash couldn’t tell what was going on. Things started to run together. She needed a nap. A nice, long nap on a big, puffy cumulonimbus

She wants to take a nap on a giant thunderhead? :rainbowderp: Something tells me that won't end well.

Even after nearly 6 months this fic still succeeds in leaving me physically shaking. I cannot wait untill chapter 8 now. :pinkiehappy:

OHMIGOSH I think that I am hyperventilating because this updated! I must read this, but I do not have the time right now *sad face*
But later, oh yes, later there will be much reading to be had! >:D

Edit: Never mind, I made time! This chapter was amazing. I'm astounded by how you're able to make me feel the same as if I just saw one of those rainbooms throughout the entire story. Amazing, simply amazing.

Spitfire slapped away his forearm and her voice rose several dynamic levels.

forearm?

1168269

Oh, whoops. Thanks for catching that. XD

I can picture rainbow getting wasted and sonic rain booming the club and shooting out the roof. Or maybe she will just make out with spits. Either would be quite amazing please update soon!:rainbowwild::yay:

If I have one qualm with this chapter, I feel like you missed out on a lot of potential emotional development by just skipping over Rainbow Dash until everyone was at the club. Apart from that, I'm really happy to see this updated, and I'm looking forward to more! :rainbowkiss: (and Dash is, too, because y'know)

How the hay did my iTunes decide to play the Alex S. remix of 20 Percent Cooler just before I got to the rainboom part? :rainbowhuh:

Granted, it fit the scene pretty well, but then Pony Rock Anthem was next, and that was just creepy-weird. My computer is stalking me as I read fanfics! :twilightoops:
