Rainbow Dash and Applejack are the closest of friends and often rivals, competing in various ways, especially as Ponyville's top athletes. When they both ask the same mare out on a date, though, a competition begins that will strain everypony's friendships.

This kind of situation has torn apart countless friendships...but when the fate of all of Equestria may depend on you remaining friends, how do you handle conflicts of the heart?

Uh oh. Here comes the competition. I can totally see rarity enjoying two ponies fighting for here. Talk about an ego boost, lol. :ajbemused::rainbowdetermined2: :duck:

I really hope this doesn't lead to one of those stereotypical polyamory endings. It's not that I don't like them, per se (I'm poly myself), but this just doesn't seem like the right kind of build up to it.

fun. Your Rarity and Rainbow Dash characterizations are great so far. Unlike Applejack to be so nervous so I'll withhold judgment there.

Agree. I'd probably see it as a cop-out.

Interesting idea, but i thought this appledash comp was flipping the idea that they wouldnt work out because they compete alot around. But if they are getting competetive about being with someone else then it doesnt really make much sense eh? At least in my eyes because it aint really appledash then.

Even if it went into polyamory the way its set out it would seem really cheap, as i cant see why apples and dash would suddenly like each other that way too. And i often see that ponies are immediately fine with polyamory in those "because the author said so" situations, which are again, cheap. I know its just begun but hese things still bug me, sorry for the rant and i apologise if i sound like an ass or im missin important details.

Thanks for reading! I don't know if this is the best idea, but knowing what I'm about to post in the next couple of chapters, I'll address your concerns here. (The only spoilers are on the subject of polyamory).

***Kind of Sort of Spoilers***
This has never been intended as a polyamory fic.
My apologies if that's what anyone came here for. :twilightsmile:

Some of my audience may have a reason to sort of know where this is going anyways, and some of them may not. Anyways, I'll try to retain the tension and keep the stakes real.

And thanks for Bjorn's compliments on characterization! :twilightblush:
I'll keep doing my best to make it a fun read.

Gotta wonder if Rarity is even into mares, lol.

5130584 In that case, good on you.

Surely you two know that's not how this works? I'm still allowed to have faith in the "clouded judgment" excuse, right?

It's not going to turn out fine, is it?
:rainbowderp:...
Of course it isn't.

This is either going to end in disaster, or a threesome. :trixieshiftright: (Make it the threesome!)

I'm gonna laugh if it ends up AJ/RD. Poor Rarity though. Hahahahaha.

I do hope it turns out to be an AppleDash pairing.

I get the feeling that's not the only problem Fluttershy has with this whole arrangement... or maybe my FlutterDash senses need to be recalibrated. Either way, I look forward to seeing if I'm right.

5186132 Your senses are wildly off~ however, the :yay::heart::raritywink: radar just got pinged, methinks~

5186487 This was submitted as an entry to an AppleDash contest, so... Yes I can.:trixieshiftright:

5186501 Well it kind of sucks that you'd give away the outcome like that. :ajbemused:

Trollnobog strikes again!

Sorry to see you go. Hope it wasn't something I did.

I figured that particular cat would get out of the bag eventually. As I said before, "Some of my audience may have a reason to sort of know where this is going anyways, and some of them may not. Anyways, I'll try to retain the tension and keep the stakes real."

Well, thanks for reading. (Heck, I was just happy to see this many comments on a chapter.) Anyways, I'll keep doing my best, and hopefully getting better. See you around!

5187614 Sorry, brother. Just don't read AppleDash.

I really wish there was a way to flag the couple on these, but I'm glad that came out before I got too invested.

Hmm, that was pretty short. Not much plot progression. Hopefully the next one is more informative. :twilightsmile:

This is well done so far
I'm looking for the trifecta lol

Is this a dead fic? :(
