Rainbow has crashed into the library one too many times without consequences and Twilight has had enough. She decides to teach the brash pegasus a lesson she won't forget by putting her new status to use.

Incomplete but added to one-shotober?

I didn't even notice I had left it marked as incomplete! Thanks, fixing it now.

Glad you liked it!

Heh. Been seeing a lot of authors forget to tag their fics as complete. No problem. I wish you good luck towards all of your one-shotober endeavors my friend! May we complete our glorious challenge together. :twilightsmile:

Haven't read it yet, but I'm upvoting just for the cover image... :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

I thought her middle name was Danger... xD

I gotta say, I LOVED those eyes when they showed up in that one episode (Can't remember which one it is anymore, but damn, I had to rewind and pause it just so I could get my laughter out) so seeing them in this cover image made me laugh again. That was a very good choice.

This is cute and quick, and I expect for One-Shotober that's going to be a trend. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Part of me wants to try it, but the other part of me is like "Pfffft I'll fail so hard it's not worth bothering."

Unfortunately, I do have to be that guy and point something out...

“I, Her Majesty Princess Twilight Sparkle, do hereby decree that Rainbow Beatrice Dash is banned from flying within fifty feet of the Golden Oaks Library.

...

She had to fly right over the library to get to and from the weather office. This would add an extra fifteen minutes to her journey both ways to swing around.

Or, you know, she could fly, like, 35 feet to her left, and add like 3 seconds to the journey... :duck:

I thought of that, but RD strikes me as the type that would want to do things in the most direct manner possible. I felt as though she'd defend her future laziness no matter what, especially since it's confirmed she waits until the last possible moment to get to work.

3264806 I mean, yeah, I get why she would think even that was too much, but it wouldn't add fifteen minutes to her journey. :applejackconfused:

Were you just going for Rainbow having a hyperbolic internal monologue? I guess that's fine if that's what it was supposed to be, but since neither character has the dedicated POV here, the narration didn't seem that close to the character's brain, so I didn't get that vibe. So maybe I just read it wrong.

3264855
I was trying to get the sense of RD exaggerating but I'm not so sure I did a good job with it. To a normal pony it would probably only add a minute to her route, but to somepony as fast as she is it would seem like forever.

3264861 It's not like you did it wrong, I just read it as narration instead of internal monologue the first time, but I reread the part now, and I think it's pretty obvious it was indeed supposed to be internal monologue, I just missed that. Probably because I'm about to pass out so I wasn't reading that carefully.

"Rainbow Beatrice Dash" made me grin foolishly. :pinkiehappy:

Cute story. I'm totally stealing the Beatrice thing. :rainbowlaugh:

ol beatrice. i'm used to hearing that. it's my little sister's name. XDDD :rainbowlaugh:

but i usually call her luna . anyways, cute story

Thank you all, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

And everything started because of a barrel roll? Did Peppy have some kind of telepaty that Rainbow Dash can hear or something?

Peppy: DO A BARREL ROLL!
Rainbow: *does barrel roll*
Peppy: DO A BARREL ROLL!
Rainbow: *does barrel roll again*
Peppy: DO A BARREL ROLL!
Rainbow: *does a barrel roll an crash into the library*

Finally, a nice Slice of Life story. :twilightsmile: No Clop or Dark themes added. Seems like Slice of Life short stories are becoming less and less lately. Kinda nice to find this one.:rainbowdetermined2:

RD didn't press Z or R twice and crashed :rainbowdetermined2:

I'm glad you liked it! I normally find myself writing clop but I just couldn't get the idea of Twilight messing with Rainbow using her new status out of my head and had to put it down. These two have so much potential for lighthearted shenanigans and I think writers often overlook that.

So avoiding the library + 50 feet leads to a 15 minute delay for the fastest flier in Equestria?

Twilight's library is huge, y'all.

3270754

:rainbowhuh: "Fifty feet? It may as well be a million!"

That's just a bit of Rainbow dramatics, I don' t think she'd want to change her course for anypony. Or even worse, just walk around. That's for ground-bound ponies!

3270697 Either that or Twilight is actually some kind of Rainbow Magnet:trollestia:

3264796>>3264806 Or... she could just fly more than fifty feet above the height of the library... Flying, it moves in three dimensions.:moustache:

...Rainbow Beatrice Dash...

Oh, pfffffffft!!!!! Oh, WOW! Diamond Tiara* has a cooler middle name than you. Congrats!


*Dazzle

How about she puts a force field up? I mean if her brother can do it, she should be able to like 3 or 4 fold as an Alicorn. I mean like she did in the newspaper episode, what ever it was called.

*sigh*

I know its meant as comedy, and I know it’s just Twilight overreacting to something but…the last part of her royal decree, or even the second part, I just… She’s threatening to cripple Rainbow Dash with Discord's help, and pretty much put her out of a job since she wouldn't be allowed to fly in Ponyville and Rainbow just rolls with it before begging in apology.

And that just… ugh.
