Entertaining read if you can bear the cuteness.

Gotta say, I never really thought about this pairing before, but I'm liking it now :pinkiehappy:

I know some of you can bearly stand it.

I was bear naked when I read it.

...Too much info? :twilightblush:

Spitfire's about to get the juiciest cherry of them all.

EDIT: *Proceeds directly to Tartarus, doesn't pass Go, doesn't collect 200 bits*

TMI indeed.

Phod, why wasn't Spike in this story? He'd clearly like some cherries.

4790431
He was actually off enjoying a different sort of cherry, if you know what I mean.

That's right, the cherry in a black russian. Because he's drinking alone. Which is slightly worse than sharing a drink they call loneliness.

4790463
Maybe he was drinking alone and toasting to loneliness?

4790491

That is, if Twilight even allowed him near the alcohol. I swear, those ponies just don't know how to treat a dragon.

4790522
I know, right?

This was so fluffy cute, oh my god.

And I do adore how you wrote Pinkie here. Most of the time when I see Pinkie in fanfiction she's simply annoying and writers tend to fail when they try to make her random and funny. Here, I'm happy to say, she wasn't stupidly annoying and sounded like the Pinkie from the show (when she isn't being stupidly annoying).

Glad to hear it, especially with how fun I find writing Pinkie to be. She's like a big ball of spontaneity, and I think people sometimes confuse that with randomness. I like to think that Pinkie always has a reason for doing things, and I tend to write her that way. Thanks for the comment and fave!

Very cute. Spitfire's character seemed a bit subdued, though. I mean, I could hear the lines being read in her voice and all, but you almost could have replaced her name with Octavia and had the same story.

4790654
I'd consider that to be one of my bigger drawbacks. Writing characters I haven't written before (or read many stories about) is difficult, so I tried as best I could to match her to her show personality. Not really in Wonderbolt Academy, since I figure that's an act put on for the cadets, but in Best Night Ever and Rainbow Falls.

4790463 Oh sing us a song, your the piano man!

But... Why? This pairing doesn't even make sense.. It's so random.. It makes as much sense as Trixie x Scootaloo or Big Mac x Chrysalis.

4791027
Sure, it makes barely any sense in canon. After all, these characters have never directly interacted. But haven't you ever done something silly or fun for no other reason than for its own sake? To just write, and canon be damned because I want to see certain ponies interacting? That's what this is. I'm not making a statement, I'm just telling a story. I hope you enjoyed it regardless.

I bloody love that song mate!

Thank you for reading! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :twilightsmile:

“I know, right? It’s probably the bestest place around for a Wonderbolt to get away from her legions of screaming fans for a while. I sometimes wonder what it would be like if I had fans! They’d probably be all like, ‘Oh Pinkie Pie, you’re the most super-duper party pony around! Would you sign my snout?’ and I’d be all, ‘That’s a weird place to write my name! It’d just wash off the next time you took a bath, silly!’”

This was the best line.

Wasn't super enamored with the ending, but the rest of it was cute and funny. :pinkiehappy:

A very enjoyable read from start to finish! I also find it funny to know that Spitfire was nervously mulling over what Pinkie had said before regarding her cherry pie the moment she brought it out. :rainbowkiss:

4791686
Heh, that was my favourite line when writing it too. I'm glad you enjoyed it on the whole, and thanks for reading, TD!:twilightsmile:

4791698
Misunderstandings can be so adorably awkward, no? Haha, thanks for reading. :pinkiehappy:

love this. i dont think i have ever seen a pinkie pie xspitfire romance before this

4791922
On the scale of crack ships, it rates only slightly more canon than Twilight x Fleetfoot. :raritywink:

Thanks for reading and for the comment!

I should mention that I really enjoyed this. Your talent as a writer shows in how you were able to take an odd pairing and make it work. Great job! :twilightsmile:

Well that was most defiantly one of the strangest shipping story's i have read. An that is not a bad thing
On a rating from 1 to 10 i'll give a 9 Not perfect but well executed.

Thank you for the compliment! I have to admit that writing Pinkie Pie is one of the most fun things I've done as an MLP writer, so I'm glad you thought I did a good job of it. :twilightsmile:

4792085
Indeed, sometimes you never know if you'll like something new or strange until you give it a shot. Thanks for reading and for the comment! :twilightsmile:

4792254
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! I think this story is about wrapped up, but keep an eye out around late August to early September. I'll be releasing a chaptered story around that time that you may enjoy!

Oh

OH!

Man, these innuendos escape me :pinkiehappy:

Good story though :twilightsmile: Short and simple, but well written

Thank you for reading and for the comment! Since you can tell it's innuendo, I'll let you make your own conclusions.

Coming from your latest stalker follower, I can say this was an enjoyable read. A rare pairing, but well pulled off. The things Pinkie said here were just pure Pinkie, and while Spitfire hasn't been shown to have much of a soft side, it was pretty good to see her loosen up. I knew an innuendo joke was going to come into play here; I was intrigued on how much you'd play it up. It was just a single misinterpretation, rather than the entire story based around it, which was a good move. The ending, or rather the final paragraph, felt a little differently paced than the rest. It was a good friendshipping/bordering on actual relationship stuff, but then it kind of went WHAM! right there. I think a playful peck with a deliberate tease of, "That's all you'll get for now," sort of scenario may have played off better, but that's just what I'd have done. It was still a great ending, just a little hasty. Still very cute though!

And very nit-picky stuff here, but I didn't think clouds move in Equestria by their own. In various episodes, clouds never tend to move unless some form of force is applied. Could be chalked up to lazy animation for all I know, but still, only the pegasi have seemed to manipulate them. Even in Bridle Gossip when they hide from Zecora at the start, a few of the mane six freak out at how the clouds over the Everfree Forest 'move all by themselves'. Eh... I don't know. Equestria's weird sometimes, but that's why we love it.

Thanks for reading, and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! I personally like to think clouds in Equestria act very much like normal clouds except when touched by a pegasus pony. The magic from pegasi helps shape and structure the clouds to let them control the weather and removes their ability to float around freely. This would be necessary to ensure the proper weather especially since Equestria seems so depending on food produced by farmers that depend on certain patterns.

i came here hoping, and was not disappointed by what i found. well done.

4794605
You were hoping for a Pinkie x Spitfire story based on a silly piece of innuendo? Hahaha, then I'm happy I did not disappoint! Thank you for reading and for the comment. :twilightsmile:

Man...You could make a sequel to this. I mean the story was just so mind blowing!:pinkiehappy:
files.abovetopsecret.com/files/img/zm532ef6ac.gif
Now some of you may not agree with me, but if you do make a sequel, please have it be Spitfire's and Pinkie's wedding. That would be so fucking kawaii.:rainbowkiss:

4794632
Thank you for reading and for the comment! I'm afraid a sequel for this isn't likely, but I'll point you in the direction of 4793512 this comment if it interests you!

4790463 But, y'know, when I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself.

The waitress practicing politics and the businessman slowly getting stoned happen to see things a different way.

4795157
Maybe this random crack ship is just what you need to start reading Pinkie stories! :rainbowwild:
Thanks for leaving a comment.

4795637
I think I'm actually reading a different story of yours right now. Raining Fire has been entertaining so far.

This is a good story. You do a great job characterizing Pinkie Pie. I did see one grammatical error. Pinkie Pie's reputation would "precede" her not "proceed".
Either way have a thumbs up from me.:pinkiehappy:

4795735
Gah, curse you homophones! I'm surprised it's taken this long for someone to point it out, actually, so thank you very much!

And it makes me happy to hear so many people think I did a good job characterizing Pinkie. That's a very high compliment to me. Thanks for reading and leaving a comment! :twilightsmile:

Loved it. I'll feature it on the blog I work for. :pinkiesmile:

4795939
Oh, thank you! What blog do you work for?
