You Watch WHAT???
Rainbow Dash sits down at her computer desk and turns on her laptop. The weather duties she had to do she did quickly, and she had a lot of time to kill before she had to spend the afternoon with Twilight Sparkle. So she went to the internet and went to Ponytube.com to do her favorite past-time.
Bashing the fans of the show My Little Human: Friendship is Science.
Some called it hating.
Trolling.
Bullying.
Trying to get attention.
But Rainbow thought of it as doing the right thing.
Adult ponies shouldn't be liking a show made for little fillies! It just wasn't right! They should be watching more, appropriate shows for their age. You know, reality TV and such, and those adult cartoons like Family Stallion. Not this stupid, girly, idiotic crap like MLH!
Rainbow has never even watched the show, but from the pictures it looked soooo stupid, so she never thought of giving it a chance. Besides, it's just one of those filly cartoons, probably teaches you how to count and your ABCs.
And besides that, ponies masturbate to those made-up creatures! How disgusting is that?
Rainbow Dash knew that this fandom had to be destroyed, it was the cancer of the internet.
So she went to a couple of the most recent MLH videos, stopped the videos from playing by pressing pause, and went straight to the comments section.
She started replying to some of the users, calling them names.
Gay.
Human-Fags.
Cancer.
Disease.
Disgusting.
Idiots.
And every other possible name she could think of.
She sat back for a minute, and waited as all the replies from those pathetic losers rolled in. They were all pretty much the same.
Hater!
You haven't ever even watched the show have you?
Want to talk?
You don't like the show? Ok, just leave me alone.
You don't like the show? Then you're an idiot.
It's a wonderful show! Shut the fuck up!
Don't talk to me, you piece of shit!
Ok.
Please stop trying to get attention.
Nopony feed the troll.
You do realize that not all of us are masturbaters right?
And of course those 50-lined multi-paragraph replies that try to explain why the show is so great and whatever in detail that Rainbow Dash never bothered to read. Nothing could ever get her to stop. She would continue to hate the show no matter what.
Or would she?
She continued reading the replies, replying to a few of them, until an alarm sounded, signaling that it was time to go to Twilight's castle for a little hanging out time. She finished up her last comment, telling the pony that he was a gay fag for liking MLH, then turned off her laptop and flew to her friend.
When she got there, she was greeted by Twilight and they walked in. They sat down, and the first thing on their list was discussing the latest Daring Do books.
They discussed the plot, what they liked and disliked about it, and predictions of what will happen in the next installment.
Then they had dinner, and Rainbow gave Twilight a small flying lesson. After that they just casually talked about just about anything.
Finally, it was about time for Rainbow to head home, but Twilight stopped her.
"Hey Rainbow, do you mind staying for a bit longer?" she asked, "A new episode of one of my favorite shows is coming on in a moment. I thought we could watch it together?"
"Um, sure thing Twilight," Rainbow Dash replied, "What show is it?"
"Oh, it's a show I just found out about a few days ago," Twilight answered, "Have you ever heard about the show My Little Human: Friendship is Science?"
Rainbow froze, "Y-yes. Wait, you LIKE that show?"
"Well yes act-"
"But it's for little FILLIES!" Rainbow interrupted.
"Well, I suppose the target demographic was intended to be a younger audience," Twilight explained, "But it actually appeals to an older one as well. It actually has good animation, it's plots are well developed, it has fantastic humor, actual character development, and good morals that can be used in everyday life, regardless of age."
"B-b-but, the show is crap!" Rainbow exclaimed, "A-a-and did you know that ponies masturbate to that show? Why would you want to be in a fandom where ponies do THAT?"
"Well I guess one of those statements are correct," Twilight sighed, "There are weirdos in the fandom, true. But every fandom has weirdos. I do not like that part of any fandom, so I avoid it at all costs. Trust me, not everypony does that. But the show isn't crap. Have you watched it?" Rainbow shook her head. "Well then, how can you judge something when you haven't even experienced it? Why don't you watch this episode with me, and then perhaps a couple more, and then you can decide if the show is crap or not."
"I'd...rather not," replied Rainbow, "I'm going home."
Rainbow flew off quickly before Twilight could reply.
She sat back at her computer desk and stared blankly at the black screen of her laptop.
How could Twilight like that garbage?
She remembered what she had called those ponies on the internet. She had said that every adult pony who liked that show were all those names.
But not Twilight, Rainbow would never call her those things.
Was Rainbow wrong? Could the show actually be good? There was only one way that Rainbow Dash could find the answers.
She turned on her laptop, and searched for the first episode.
She watched it. It wasn't bad, but not great.
She watched another.
And another.
And another.
Until she watched the latest episode. No more episodes till the next week.
That...was...AWESOME!
It was clear to Rainbow now, why ponies loved the show, why they defended it so much. Everything Twilight said was true. It WAS a great show!
She went to Ponytube again, and started watching fan animations and music videos. She looked on Google Images to see fanart. She went to FISFiction.net to read fanfiction.
Not only was the show wonderful, but the fandom was as well!
Rainbow Dash leaned back and grinned. She looked at the clock. 8 o' clock in the morning. She had stayed up all night! Suddenly her eyelids drooped. Good thing there was no work that day.
So she slept.
The Following Week...
Rainbow Dash flew to Twilight's castle and knocked. Twilight answered, looking surprised.
"Rainbow? What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Just wondering if I could join you in watching the new episode of My Little Human," Rainbow answered.
Twilight's eyes widened, "I thought you hated that show."
"Eh I used to," Rainbow replied, "But that was before I watched it. You were right, I should've given a chance before judging it."
Twilight smiled, "Well, come on in, it's about to start."

Got to love ironic humor. Good story, person

Glad you guys like the story.
I used to be a bit like Rainbow Dash, minus the trolling and hating on the show.
I avoided the show at all costs a few months ago. Until one day, out of boredom, I watched an episode online. And then another. And another. Then I read Cupcakes, and watched Button's Adventures, and then listened to the fandom's music.
And, well, here I am.
But I couldn't be happier. :)
Nice job sir. Although I would tidy up a few spots, I believe it fulfilled its purpose of being a one-shot story.
4846374
Thanks! But who're you calling 'sir'?
Yeah I don't expect my writing to be perfect. I try my best, but I leave spots that as you say, need to be tidied up.
4846318
I can't be happier either. Joining this fandom has been one of my best decisions of my life.
Ha! Excellent story!
4846440
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
I give Rainbow Dash 3 months before she's clopping off to MLH.
I mean have you seen the teats on that Orange Crush girl? And that cowmare hat she wears with those, what are they called? Daisy Duke shorts?
<points for anyone who can pick through all the layers of subtext in that
>
Two big problems:
1. You should have said what was in the show. When I read the description, I was dying to know what a show called "Friendship is Science" was about.
)
2. No Lyra jokes. (
Interesting idea overall, though.
4846707
Yeah I see your points. I just figured science was the closest to magic in the human world. I really didn't think about what the show would be about.
And I really didn't think about Lyra at all while writing this. Oops. But there isn't really anywhere I could put her in.
Hmm... If I didn't know any better I'd say that this were an outtake on bronies and brony haters...
(SARCASM)
Eh, this was good at first. But then the part where Rainbow was talking to Twilight came. It doesn't at all sound like Rainbow Dash and Twilight talking, it's just a conversation between generic brony and generic anti-brony. :/ It's almost like you made this to argue with anti-bronies, and that's not a good way to start a story.
One of us, one of us.
4846998
Eh I know. I wasn't planning to make a super-awesome-everypony-exactly-in-character story. I just got the idea and wrote this in about an hour or two. And since it was over 1,000 words, I was like, heck why not post it? I didn't exactly plan anything out like I do in my other fanfic I'm working on. This was just a one-shot short story that I wrote for the heck of it.
4847026 Eh, makes sense. Alright then.
Got a feeling dis gun be good. *Reading goggles engage*
4846707
Absolutely agreed!
I only have one objection. Why do people who masturbate to something weird are viewed in negative light? If they dont shove it down your throat they are ok ppl.
saw that coming Sure I didn't like it at first but I didn't hate it I'm like let people watch their shit.
4848973
I have no clue, ask an anti-brony, they almost always bring cloppers up when hating on the fandom.
4849600 Thats called a fail at the ad hominem fallacy. A double fail at logic.
4846428 Oh sorry about that. I just speak like that sometimes. Thanks for replying, I believe you will grow to become an amazing author. You just need to give; effort, devotion, and shits. Those three things are key to a good story.
4850792
Wow. Thanks! But yeah, i really didn't give really any of those three things in this story. The amount of effort I put into this story is only maybe a quarter of the effort I try to put in my other story I'm currently working on. Like I said in a reply to a different comment, I just wrote this fic for fun, then I decided to post it for the heck of it since it was over 1,000 words.
But it really means a lot to me that you said you believe i will become a good author. Since I'm rather new to fanfic writing, comments like that make my day!
this was hilarious, oh it brought back memories :P
the biggest fan of mlh fis (yes i am callin it that) is lyra heartstrings right
er sorry
Nicely done. Now, if only more anti-bronies could follow Dash's example lol
I think I just heard you dislocate your shoulder from how hard you're patting yourself on your own back.
