This story is a sequel to I'm a Cat!
Additional tag: [Cute]
It's Hearth's Warming in the Rainbow household! It's a time of family, fun, and presents. How will Dashie react to her father having to work on such a special day? What gifts will she get? What adorable shenanigans await her and her family?
The quality level of this story was massively improved thanks to Hopeless Appraisal.
Author's Note:
My second attempt at first person Dashie was supposed to be out for Christmas, but you can see how well that worked out. I hope you still find it enjoyable.
Chapters (1)
Damn you. I'm hardly trough the wake up scene and I have already problems with too much cuteness.
*Furious hand waving*
Edit: And then you make that end! I am laughing my ass off, while halfway to a cuteness induced sugar coma.
Once again an enjoyable read. Can only hope there will be more cute, small fillies in the future
The D'awwws it's too much to bear!
Read your authors note first, I have to say I'm a little more open about reading this series, I considered it last time around but I thought it would be bland and boring. Nevertheless, I'm about to take a crack finally and hope it lives up to its hype.
The epilogue sounds the most interesting though.
With a name like Morning Glory, you know he's a ladies man
...ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME WITH CUTENESS?!
Oh, that was cute and funny.
Super cuteness!!!
Awesome story!
How the hell did this get feature so soon when my story has 6 times the comments, doulbe the likes, triple the views , and triple the fave as this ones has and its not featured, this should not be featured! This is just ridiculous Fimfiction your featured system is f'd up I hate you, No offense to the extremely lucky author.
3766457 Because the feature box is stupid and loves trashy clopfics... Not saying this story doesn't deserve the feature box! In fact, it was actually pretty good!
Congrats on another feature!

I don't claim to know how the whole system works, but running on 31 favorites and zero down-votes within 4 hours of submission probably helps a lot.
I had a stuff dog and ironically named it Sexy beast...... I was like 4
I liked the story, and the epilogue sounds like a great idea.
But, the font size thing. Yeah. In my personal opinion, the font should have been the same size as the rest of the text. It's a bit jarring seeing it this way, and we already know how soft spoken Fluttershy is, so it isn't necessary.
Ehmagawd, this is one of the cutest story I've ever read.
There's nothing cuter than filly Dashie, especially in first person
I loved it!
cute i love it
I lost it when Dash named her dog.
PFFT, wait till the parents hear that one...
-_- He really needs to work on that...
You don't want to know that name...
Here hold these fillies.
Me: Noooo! I'm allergic to adorable!
Me: Awww! -dies-
You are officially made of win.
Best story ever
Ahhhh. The cuteness! IT BURNS!!!! Nooooooooooo!!!!!
Well done!
Jesus. I felt my heart stop from all the adorableness.
You need to make more of this. You have started the fire, and now it will rage for eternity.
Oh no, I am NOT reading this! I don't want another heart attack!
...
...
...Okay, maybe just a lil bit.

Glad you enjoyed it.
That end...
3765855
It's okay, man, push through the d'awws. Fight the cute!
3765869
Be warned... the cute tag is there for a reason.
3765904
Of course he is.
3765998
...Yes.

3766161
Thank you.
3766457
It all depends on the amount of time it takes to get those statistics. Otherwise, stories with likes in the thousands would never leave the feature box.
3766647
The feature box does loves clopfics, which is why I'm slightly surprised I got in not once, but twice.
3766676
Thank you.
3766687
The irony!
3766883
Yay! Someone actually gave me feedback on the particular thing I asked. Thank you!
And yes... that epilogue... I have plans...
3766903
Thank you!
3767144
3767294
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
3767316
So did I... so did I...
3767643
No, no they don't.
3767771
Made of win?
Why thank you, good sir.
3767978
Thank you.
3768564
That can't be good.
3769325
What have I done...
3769426
Nooooooooo! Brother Roga!
You will be mourned...
3769744
Yay!
There's too much cuteness...
We've gone to DEFCON 1.
May Luna save us all.
That was too adorable!
Wonder how the parents will react to the puppy's name.
3770296
You mean this Luna?

3770733
I left that to your imagination... Although, I might mention it in the epilogue...
3771188
Yes! Epilogue!
And more baby Dash stories! It was this and "I'm a Cat!" that made me follow you!
3771204
Yes, three year old Dash is pretty "awem-some", isn't she?
3772515
I'd say she's awwsome!
3772520
I see what you did there.
3772547
So, more?
Any chance we'll get to see an extra chapter of "I'm a Cat" where Dashie plays kitty with Shy?
Tee-hee! I'm a cat!
The cutes. They are over nine THOUSAAAAAAAAAND!
SO CUTE!!!!!!
3772571
I don't really know when I'll have the inspiration to write another Dashie story. It takes a certain mindset that I don't have all the time; just because I have to literally imagine myself as a three year old pony to write it. (On top of the fact that I don't have any good ideas for a new "episode" currently.) I'm going to work on the epilogue first, then I will probably go back and try to figure out a new adventure.
3773239
I did not see that coming.
3774581
This was adorable and awesome.
3767316 Same here
Dawww! That was so cute!
I think that Fluttershy's font size was fine. I actually liked it.
Now, if you'll excuse me I'm going to die of over exposure to adorable now.
3773239
Wow, my #1 favorite author bothered to comment on something I worked on! And for a fic based around adorable child psychology no less, something I regard to be his specialty. I even referenced your blog while advising for "I'm a Cat". Thanks again for a great feature, NightWolf!
I'm almost tempted to post my own story early in case he looks up my work and gives some input... naah, i'll wait until a few more chapters are done. Still, I can dream right.
3776109 Lol ikr!! This story was so amazing!
I want more
3765855 I know!!
So beautiful 
so beautiful 
3777217
Hmmm? You mean that this Reality Check is that Reality Check? I see.
3777633
You want more do you? We'll see.
3777644
Thank you.
I can't wait to see Dashie's reaction when her parents show her friends the album.
There will be four mares rolling around, ;laughing like nutcases. I can tell.
3777217 And I am flattered that you are flattered
Was that a Doctor Who reference there?
this fanfic is so cute, I have to say I loved the story its in my top read fanfics.
3780323 Yay!!!
Daddy nods. “So…” he begins hesitantly, “do the ends justify the means?”
“We’ll see.”
“Also… you should hit me again, it’s kinda nice. Not now though. Like, later, in the bedr—”
“Stooorm!” Mommy warns, nudging her head towards me.
THATS FUNNY
“How about... Sexy?” she asks.
“Too… hmmm… maybe. What sexy?” I ask her.
She shrugs. “I don’t know, but sometimes I hear Daddy say it to Mommy,” she says, “when they think I’m not hearing.”
“Yeah! Me too!” I turn to my puppy-toy, “I will call you Sexy.”
“Good name,” giggles Fluttershy.
“The best name. That probably why Mommies and Daddies hide it,” I agree, nodding.
lols
And get ready to watch the Wonderbolts perform and then get… get ready to… meet them…
“She’ll pull the cover up to your chin...”
And… and… see the soft bed… and... lay down on the soft bed and cuddle... with Sexy and Fluttershy and wrap my forelegs around them... and hold them tightly and… and… close my eyes…
“And when you wake up in the morn’ Mommy will...” Fluttershy stops singing and starts snoring.
But I’m not sleepy! I’m just resting.
it's scenes like this one that make all the has that comes with being a Brony well worth it
“‘So’ what?” she asked.
“You know,” he insisted, nudging her shoulder.
“No, not really,” she said.
Storm sighed, “You know, when can I get my present?”
“What are you talking about? You all ready got your presents,” answered Firefly.
“You know, my present,” he insisted quietly.
“I have no idea what you are talking about. Hold on a sec, I’ll be right back, and then you can finish telling me whatever it is you’re trying to tell me,” she called quietly, trotting into their bedroom.
HA poor guy, and he was so excited!
“Now… what were you saying, Storm?” asked Firefly from behind him.
“Nevermind,” he groaned, throwing a glance over his shoulder. He froze as he was halfway between looking back toward Dash. He slowly looked back toward Firefly, his wings beginning to unfurl.
Firefly had lacy tights on each of her legs that were striped to look like wrapping paper. Her wings were already partly flared, and she had a small, green bow on her head. She slowly swayed around him, her tail flicking his nose and lightly teasing him as she circled him several times, her coat barely touching his. She stopped in front of him and gave Storm a taunting, enticing kiss that barely lingered on his lips. She stared at him with half-lidded eyes and whispered, “So do you want to unwrap your present now?”
“Sweet Celestia, there is a Santa….” said Storm, his eyes wide and his wings finally reaching their full extension.
He closed Dash’s door and dropped the camera on the floor. He followed his wife into their bedroom and kicked the door closed behind him, locking it for the night.

3781142
And I'm flattered that you're flattered that he's flattered. It's flatter-ception!
3782170
Too bad. I wrote this anyway.
3782614
Depends, where? I didn't intentionally put one in, but I could have done it subconsciously. I'm a big fan of Doctor Who.
3782912
Thank you.
3785238
Glad you enjoyed the story.
3785498 Well, the puppy is named sexy. In the episode of doctor who, the doctors wife, the tardis is shoved in a human body and decides to name herself sexy.
