Soarin has everything a stallion could dream of. A job as Wonderbolt, the most beautiful mare at his side and now even a son of his own. Yes, he has everything, so why does he need to sneak out of their house while Rainbow is out, training with the Wonderbolts?

This is a really good story. It shows a moment in life that may be small and only happen once, but it won't be forgotten by those who lived it. I seen him asking, but never did I see it like this. Stories like this warms my heart and make me cry a bit. I truly enjoy this story, thank you for writing it.

A nice SoarinDash story, but it could definitely use some more editing. The dialogue feels very stilted (does Spitfire seem like the type of pony to say "He is" rather than "He's"?) and some of the grammar is off:

Soarin was the first to know, he was taken back as well as her.

That should be "Soarin was the first to know, and he was as taken aback as she was." If not, you're probably better off using a semicolon to separate these two clauses, because the first half doesn't transition well into the second.

This story....I like it....ANOTHER!

Your stories always make me feel feels and I absolutely love the writing style. Keep writing bro! :rainbowdetermined2:

SoarinDash story? Insta-fave! I can't wait to give this story a read. I love SoarinDash, it's my second or third favorite shipping overall.

I think i need to get to the ER.
You have given me the D'aww flu.

I really do love this pairing.

3030397
It really is a fantastic pairing. Hey, have you joined my Rainbow-Soarin' group?
Hm... *Checks all of your stories* :pinkiegasp: *Clicks 'follow'* Should have done that a long time ago.

You're gonna go far kid!:rainbowdetermined2:

3030907

Thanks, I hope so. I have one story done at the moment which should be ready by the end of the week to post, and i am currently writing 3 other fics. I hope to be posting a lot more.

I noticed a terrible thing about this fic.




It ended.

:heart:This story is just Great.:rainbowdetermined2: Few people can capture such moments in words.:heart:
:heart::heart::heart:I Love This Story:heart::heart::heart:

Congrats on being featured and take my thumbs up for a good Soarindash story :twilightsmile:

3031354

I wasn't featured though. Was it?

3031389 When I logged in it was the first story in the featured section. Then again, sometimes it does that for a few minutes. I also have Mature stories turned off. But yeah, I saw it up there a few minutes ago.

3031431

Like in the feature box?

3031436 Don't worry, it's in both feature boxes.

Yes, your story's in the featured box. Congrats, it deserves to be up there. :rainbowdetermined2:

3031688

Thanks, wow, I can't believe it!

Ooooooo. That's Adaaaawable. XD

I'm glade to see you made it to the box. I would thought they would put it faster, but I guess they need time to clean the tears stains on their muzzles.

my heart!!!! it hurts!!!

Rainbow Dash! I am so sorry.

Few small inconsistencies I found.

The stallion loved his son more than anything in the world, that small blue ball of fur with her mother’s mane was his child.

Unless Blitz can change genders on a whim, I think it's supposed to be 'him'. :twilightsheepish:

“Hey, Soarin great to see you, come inside before somepony sees you,” the white pegasus said, shuffling him in.

The white unicorn came running toward the door, right past his side, quickly unlocking the door for his friend.

Err... He just changed races. :unsuresweetie:

There were a few other small things, too. Like your tendency to say "S/He was taken back" instead of 'S/He was taken aback'.
Otherwise, great story. I really enjoyed your style of writing. :twilightsmile:

3033437

Thanks, glad you liked it. Thanks also for pointing that stuff out.

3033471
No problem. :pinkiesmile:

[EDIT]

I forgot to mention this one, whoops.

The unicorn closed the lockbox from where the tiny package had sat and left the small booth heading for his long time friend.

This one's right above the previous race-swapping mistake I pointed out earlier.

This is a very well-crafted plot, but the writing is somewhat lacking. The characterizations here are fantastic, and the climax is absolutely adorable. Unfortunately, much of the writing is haphazard and lacks flow. In several sections, the story seems to run off on a tangent, spewing out unnecessarily long descriptions that don't serve to support the story at all. Here are a few examples of some awkward paragraphs:

“Now I get why you are whispering, sorry.” Radiant Gem immediately lowered his voice again back to Soarin’s level. “I am so happy for you too, man I can’t believe you’re a dad, man. It only seems like yesterday we were playing on swings or out pranking ponies. Congrats, I think you officially made every stallion in all of Equestria jealous, taking her off the dating market. Soar a dad, I can’t believe this.”

Like many sections in the story, this part would benefit greatly from reading it aloud and hearing how it sounds. The lack of contractions makes the dialogue sound strange, especially since the speaker in question is excited. Saying that Radiant Gem is whispering right after he says "oh that's why we're whispering" is redundant, because it's safe for the reader to assume he's whispering again. I would have rewritten it like so:

"Oh, I get why we're whispering, sorry. I just can't believe you're a dad, man. It seems like just yesterday we were playing on the swingset or pranking our classmates. I'm so happy for you!" Radiant Gem shook his head. "Course, you probably made every stallion in Equestria jealous, taking her off the dating market. Man, Soar's a dad now, I can't believe this!"

The card scene drags on too long, and I think you really missed that brief moment of silence when the sound is sucked out of the room right before Soarin proposes to Rainbow Dash. Here's another random paragraph:

He was greeted with a smile and wave as he entered through the door. Inside laid a cluster of a maze like hallways filled with the teams staff. They were relatively quiet at the moment, not too many ponies mingling about. It was still early and most of the staff didn’t have to wake up as early as the team had to. Still the few ponies that had woken up early gave Soarin a little a smile and wave but not much else.

Don't tell us that Soarin "entered through the door", describe him walking through the door. You're also missing a dash on maze-like and use the wrong tense of "laid". I would have rewritten this like so:

A smile and a wave greeted him as he trotted through the door. Inside lay a cluster of a maze-like hallways peppered with staff offices. It was quiet, since most of the staff didn’t have to wake up nearly as early as the team. Soarin smiled and nodded to the few ponies he did run across as he sauntered towards Spitfire's office.

Try to be more concise in your writing, and remember that you should show, not tell.

Thanks for the comment, I can tell you took your time making it. I will remember that for next time, I mean I am no professional by any sorts. I am just a kid who woke up some day and decided to do fanfiction, just on whim. As I bet many of you can tell, my English is quite lacking, it has always been my downfall in school, the one class I couldn't really excel at. If any of my former teachers knew that I was writing now, I think they would be amazed, heck I am amazed. I know I have a long way to go, but with the help of this site and the community I feel like maybe someday I can get there, be like these big authors on the site, have a lot of followers, write great fanfiction. Thanks again for the comment, and the help, hope you enjoyed the story overall.

TTT

So spitfire won the bet of 4 weeks

Nice story! First, I knew right from the beginning that he was proposing which was annoying. Right when you talked about a special day as he grabbed the hoodie. Second, you kept saying Blitzy. My puppy`s name is Blizzard and we call her Blizzy so every time I read Blitzy I thought of Blizzy and I smiled every time. Very cute!

I don't even have a proper comment. SoarinDash pisses me off, but good luck with your story anyway.

:pinkiehappy: This was a really cute story! I have to say that I agree with a few of the things previously stated to be changed but this was a good fanfic. It's always nice to read some good MLP fanfiction.

3035635 You're right. You didn't have a proper comment.

Aw, that was so sweet! ^^

3036043
Is your name a reference to evil con carne? I loved that cartoon.
It's not like I can say anything about the story anyway, every one of these has the exact same plot and synopsis. You seen one, you've seen them all.

3036153 Nah. Chilli Con Carne. The food. Don't be fooled though, I hate it. :pinkiesick:

3036222
Hm, interesting. I don't really like chili myself, but if I'm ever in a position to try it I will.

Bravo! This is truly a master at one of his finest. I love Soarin' and Rainbow Dash as a couple. This made me shed tears like a dripping sink.

10/10 story, no doubt about it.

Feely feels. :pinkiesad2:

:heart::heart::heart:! He went a long way from that one pony with a strange love for pie... Dammit all its too sweet! come on Man Up!:moustache:

I know I'm smiling so stupidly right now. :pinkiesad2:

10/10...:heart:

you’re the little guy that kept my best flier sidelined for almost six months.

horses are pregnant for 11 months

3038637

Yes, that's true. But she only said 'sidelined for six months'(unable to fly), not 'pregnant for six months'.
