Rainbow Dash was never the kind of pony to care about what stallions thought of her, or at least that was what everypony assumed. When Spike finds out that what she really wants is to to be treated like a lady, he offers take her on a date. After all, it was just one date.
Written for the SpikeDash competion 'More Than Meets The Eye'.
Fantastic story!
The setting was nice, the characters were spot on, and the lightheartedness approach was a great idea.
Poor AJ, she's gonna have to walk through town with Pinkie attached to her face.
Overall awesome story!

Thanks!
I gotta say the Aj and Pinkie bit really stopped me enjoying this as much as I wanted it too.
I still liked the fic, but it felt too out of place here, feeling more like something added rather than needed.
3673005
Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't pull it of as well as I planed, but oh well.
3673019 I was more OK of it when they said it was planned by Rarity, but the kiss ruined it.
3673024
Just a question. Was that more because of the way I wrote it or because you don't like the ship?
3673032 The ship. I can be OK with this ship if it was done better, but here, sadly, it wasn't.
bravo!
I thoroughly enjoyed this. I'm glad you didn't pen other characters into relationships, especially heterosexual ones. I find a lot of authors like to mention that all the main six are all in relationships, and who these relationships are with. To be honest, it just limits the reader's imagination, so I'm glad you only teased about other relationships here.
I'm a little confused as well by the kiss, as 3673024 said. I think ApplePie is a pretty interesting yet severely neglected ship, but when you clarified that they weren't actually on a date... and then Pinkie kissed her?
I don't understand. Did Dash somehow know that Pinkie had a crush on AJ? Wait, Pinkie did have a crush on AJ, right? This isn't just Pinkie being Pinkie?
I'll talk more about the SpikeDash that I enjoyed so much when the competition closes. Thank you so much for this entry. It was a wonderful read.

Like what ya did with Pinkie and AJ there. Pinkie was probobaly thinking something along the lines of: "OMG thank you for this escuse to kiss her!"
I haven't seen anyone ask this yet, so I will for them. Where is the sequel?! I don't expect an entire story to go along with this, just possibly one more chapter. Maybe of their next date or maybe of a few months into the future. If you don't want to write one, that's fine. I don't want to pressure you into writing another chapter. I really liked this story, it was written and executed very well.
Yes!
Sure.
All in all, it's a good story.

I kind of thought of it as Pinkie just being random, but maybe she does have feelings for AJ? She probably just thought it would be fun to kiss her.
Apart from that, I'm glad to hear you liked the story, and I look forwards to hearing about the SpikeDash.

I hadn't really thought of a sequel, to be honest. Maybe at somepoint if I find myself free I'll write a short one, or just add an extra chapter on.
3673642 Because I'm a man!
(Man! Man! Man!)
3675727 as am I that doesn't answer the question
3675940 I don't like F/F shipping.
3675941 I know that feel bro
Wow that was amazing!
Well that was very cute.
Now that's what I call a good story! You should write more like that.

Dude this should be a sequel, I really like how you pulled off both their characters
very nice
Nice story, very fuzzy. Warmed me right up
Very nice, but the ending was somewhat abrupt. Would have liked a little more of an epilogue, but as it is, it's still great.
Awesome/10
Would read again

Hmm, second request for a sequel. I've as already started another story, but after that I think I might write one.
so adorable i had to skim part of it to keep my self from having a stroke.
Spike x Dash = Yes
Actually...
Spike x Anypony = Yes
Pinkie x Applejack = No...

Make it a third request; this was a well-done one-shot, and I'd love to see a full story in the same universe you've built.
so many words! I will read it tomaro cuz of time!
Rainbow Dash and... Spike?
I sort of almost want to say something bad, but I find myself succumbing to curiosity.
Guess I'm going to be reading this later tonight, or something.
I also believe a sequel is in order. Or at least an Epilogue. It's a great story, it should make it to the front page.

I'll see what I can do then, although you'll have to wait until I get on a laptop to start.
Any complaints I have boil down to spelling and grammar. The actual content is definitely good.
