My Little Pony: Friendship is Overpowered (Season 2)

S02E16 Read It and Weep

Twilight Sparkle walked up to two of her friends. "Hey, Rarity. Hey, Pinkie Pie. What are you looking at?"

"Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie answered. "Rainbow Dash! Isn't she the most daring devil? I mean, the most devilish darer? I mean—"

"She's dazzling," Rarity crooned, her head turning to watch Rainbow's sweep across the sky.

Pinkie bounced and smiled. "Ooh, yeah, that's a good word. She's dazzling!"

But Rainbow's routine took a turn for the worse, spiraling out of control. Everypony gasped.

Pinkie screamed, "A-yi-yi-yi-yi!"

But Twilight took action. She fired up a spell just in time, teleporting Rainbow safely next to the three of them.

"So much for dazzling," Pinkie mumbled.

"Hey!" Rainbow stomped her hooves. "What was that about?"

Rarity glared at her. "Be gracious, Rainbow. Twilight just saved you from a horrendous crash."

"I didn't need saving. I was doing fine on my own. Nothing bad would have happened." Rainbow shuffled back and forth for a moment, glancing back up at Rarity. "And, um, thanks, I guess."

Rarity grinned.

"Ugh! I gotta go." In a blur, Rainbow shot back up into the sky.

[BlueYoshi]

Crisis averted, all thanks to Purple Smart!

[Valikdu]

Rainbow Dash discovers the secret of the Golden Underpants!

[Tatsurou]

And here I thought it would be resolved by Twilight in the hospital going "You will read it, and you will like it!" and then standing over Rainbow with a glare until she starts reading...and gets lost in the story.

[TGM]

b-but...

Rainbow never discovered her love for daring do!

[nioniosbbbb]

But how will you explain later Rainbow's fanboyism over Daring Do.

[FiM Fact]

5363119 Or the events of Daring Don't?

[nioniosbbbb]

5363189 THAT! Exactly that! The best thing would be "gets injured" borrows book cause Twilight spots it.

[Awesomo3000]

*sigh*

[silvadel]

Uhoh -- that broke things badly in "More About Time"

[Joshiplier]

5363102 I'm sure the author knows what he's doing.

[Blood Brandy]

5363644

Or having a horrific, unsurvivable crash and not getting a scratch

[Neko Majin C]

Twilight Sparkle really is the most awesome of them all. How else could you explain her taking over the chapters from the other ponies?

KBO.

[TheVirginianist]

But she still read the Daring Do book anyway! Awesome Job, Man/Girl (Don't know the Gender, they really need to add a "What Gender" Feature to this website.)

[StevieBond]

I can imagine that sometime later, Twilight introduces book reading to Rainbow as a way of returning the favour, starting with the Daring Do series.

[ShadowLDrago]

Raridash? Been a while since I've seen that.

[Banana Prince]

5363189 Colonel: "ocalhoun! The furture will be changed! You'll create a time paradox!"

[Switch Swap]

How will she learn about and eventually meet daring do now
