“Well, of course I'll be there,” Fluttershy said with a smile as she trotted across the cottage. In graceful motions, she spread more food out for scampering mice and squirrels. “None of my many siblings may be joining me, but I want to be around to show my moral support!”

“Uh huh...” Rainbow Dash toyed with a snowglobe from where she hovered. “You sure it has nothing to do with there being a sister-sister hogtying contest?”

“You mean Applejack condones such a thing?”

“Heck if I know.” Rainbow Dash shrugged. “I just made it up.” She shook the fragile instrument and squinted at the floating snow patterns. “Y'know, she asked me to hang out at the farm after cloud clearing tomorrow.”

“Did she?” Fluttershy smiled wide. “Ohhhhh, Rainbow Dash, that's so delightful!” She not-so-secretively threw a wink over her shoulder as she put the food bag away. “Especially for somepony...”

“Eh... don't count your donkeys before they've pooped,” Rainbow grunted. “Applejack said it's all for the kiddies.”

“Kiddies?”

“Yes. Cuz I'm so awesome n'stuff, there're bound to be a few kids from town who'll go nuts at the very sight of me.”

“Well, I know for a fact that's true of at least one pony.” Fluttershy turned around and winced. “Erm... R-Rainbow?” She flew across the cottage, hooves outstretched, her eyes locked on the snowglobe. “Are you sure your hooves are entirely in working order today—?”

“Say, what does Big Macintosh think about zebras?”

Fluttershy braked in midair. “Zebras.”

“Er... yeah.”

“Rainbow Dash, everypony only knows one zebra.”

“Oh, h-hey!” Rainbow Dash suddenly jerked. “Look at the time!” She planted the snowglobe upside down onto the mantlepiece. It spun around precariously while she made for the door. “I'd better check to see if Banner Company needs me to do anything!”

“Oh goodness! Oh goodness!” Fluttershy flew over and grasped the snowglobe. She turned it rightside up and exhaled with relief. “Wh-what's the hurry...?”

“Another minute wasted is one less bit tasted.” Rainbow spun with a proud smirk. “You like that one? I thought it up myself.”

“But who would want to eat money?”

“Eh. You're right. It sucks.” Rainbow swung the door open. “Later—!”

“R-Rainbow Dash! Wait!” Fluttershy stretched a hoof out. “Erm... before you go...”

Rainbow leaned down to stare at her through the frame. “Yes?”

“So you've decided, then, that you'll be at the Sisterhooves Social all day tomorrow?”

“Uhhhh... that's pretty much the plan. Yeah.”

“From sunup to sundown?”

Rainbow smirked. “Fluttershy. Applejack asked me to do her a favor. Applejack. I'd stay for eons if I had to, until even the Sun and Moon exploded for all I care.”

“Well, that's a g-good thing, because I'm certain you would make a certain pony's day.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Mmmmhmmm...” Fluttershy nodded. “You see, being around the farm so much as of late—”

“And around Big Macintosh.”

“...riiiiight.... Ahem.” Fluttershy looked straight at her. “I've had many a time to chat and have lunch with Apple Bloom. And, needless to say, I've learned enough to realize that you would make a certain pony very... very happy if you were to... uhm... well...”

“Well what?”

“Perhaps... b-be their pony sister for a day. Does th-that make any sense to you?”

Rainbow Dash gave an understanding nod. “Yeah. I get it. But let's face it.” Rainbow Dash sighed. “While she might be meaning well, I wouldn't want things to end up like that. Besides, I totally don't see her as a sister, and you know that Fluttershy.”

“Uhhhh...” Fluttershy blinked. “Who?”

“Applejack. Doyyy!” Rainbow smirked. “Thunderlane and Candy Floss have been getting all sappy over me—thinking I'm down in the dumps or some crap. Tomorrow, I'm gonna prove to Applejack that it's totally not the case with me. So, hopefully she won't ask me to do that. She'll just stick to being Apple Bloom's sister tomorrow just like any other day.” Rainbow winked. “Ya dig?”

“Rainbow Dash...” Fluttershy glared with dull eyebrows. “That's not what I—”

“Anyways, gotta go!” Rainbow soared skyward. “Stay silky!”

“That's not what I meant!” Fluttershy hollered out the window. It was too late; Rainbow Dash was a blue dot on the horizon. Huffing and puffing, Fluttershy stamped a hoof on the cottage's front entrance and grumbled, “Oh, Rainbow Dash... sometimes you can be such a... such a... fuzzhead!” She blinked, then winced like a knife was being dragged through her. “Oh goodness! Oh goodness!” She drooped and slinked backwards, closing the door shut as she looked fearfully at her beady-eyed squirrel friends. “That wasn't too harsh a name to call her, was it?”

I gotta agree with Fluttershy. Rainbow needs to quit chasing applebooty and show Scoots some love.

[RoboRed]

For shame, Fluttershy.

And for shame, Rainbow. How could you forget about Scootaloo?

[Jay_Baker]

Daaaw

[VortexRyker]

But that applebooty..... It begs to be chased.

However i agree that Rainbow needs to go be a sister to Scoots would make for a cute chapter show her biggest fan some love.

But still..... that applelicious booty it brings all the ponys to the farm.

[Tchernobog]

God damnit Dash.

[zaponator]

Oh come on. Didn't we do this dance before? Like, weren't a bunch of chapters in a row dedicated to RD learning her Scootaloo lesson?
Just what is in those energy bars after all?

How dare you, Fluttershy. Caling such a socially aware pony such as Rainbow Dash a fuzzhead. It is quite frankly, appalling that such a considerate mare as yourself stooped so low as to call another such a derogatory term! For shame.

Seriously though, another adorable chapter. And she was being a fuzzhead. And I am now stealing that term permanently for use against my friends. And I enjoy beginning sentences with "and". And the cake is a lie.

[HyperMonica]

AWWWWWWWW SCOOTALOO!!! You better get it through Dashie's head that you wanna be her sister for a day. SHE WILL NOT SAY NO.

not if I have anything to say about it...

5221134 Igorning quantity demanded the supply curve for donkey dung is shifted more left than most other products on the market due to lower quantity supplied which causes the price to increase. Getting an estimate of total donkey poop produced before excretion is inaccurate and will prevent profits from being maximized. Keeping a tab on inventory is necessary for a number of reasons.

“Anyways, gotta go!” Rainbow soared skyward. “ Stay silky! ”

Okay, this level of obliviousness is getting us into FiW territory.

Rainbow Dash: [bites into an apple] Wow, Twilight, I wish I had a reptile pet as slow and dumb looking as yours!
Scootaloo: Ooh! Ooh! Me! Me! I'll wear whatever costume I need to, Mommy!
Rainbow Dash: My apple just talked! But I don't regret eating it.

No Dashie, she means the other orange horse.
