Rainbow Dash hates getting up early to go through such a tedious routine. It's a waste of valuable time. She could be sleeping or enjoying a few extra moments with her marefriend in their nice, warm bed.

Of course, that doesn't mean she can't have a bit of fun with it.

Thanks for letting me preread this. It was quite enjoyable. Just a touch of steam, and a lot of adorable. Just like you!

With the cute, I mean.

I regret nothing!

That was a cute, fun read. Stories like these are the reason why I'm becoming more fond of TwiDash. You did a great job on the characterization and the romance flowed well. Excellent work! :twilightsmile:

Too dang adorable cute!

A little something I came up with when dealing with some joint and muscle pains of my own one morning.

:trixieshiftright:

...

*Summons army of Spitfires to invade your home*

Let's see what you can do with that.

*cracks whip*

Assertive Twi is best Twi. :rainbowwild:

...if she didn’t love watching Twilight pour over it.

Did you mean pore?

5484334 Thanks for putting up with me! I'll even ignore that fallacious comment about me being adorable/cute :P

5484345 DO YOUR WORST! MY BODY IS READY!

5484373 Rainbow certainly does :rainbowwild:

5484397 Thanks! I was worried about keeping the narrative tone and making it seem natural.

5484429 I'm watching you...

5484478 I'mma have to swipe that.

5484479 Heyyyyyyy! New workout buddy!

5484629 I need an adult!

5484674 ... Will fix >.>

5484706 You're welcome. :pinkiesmile:

5484693 Tcherno, pls. Nu.

5484706

I'mma have to swipe that.

:derpyderp2: Okie dokie lokie, and I'mma have to go figure out what that means.

5484738 Means I'm stealing the pic :P

5484744 Most noble. Very proud.

5484760

Oh, dang. Stealin' mah Twinkie pics (er, not literally mine, but I have them). Such a cruel, cruel thing! Oh well, glad you like the picture!:pinkiehappy:

You're so adorable!

5484706

I need an adult!

I am an adult.

:rainbowdetermined2:

5484478

Y'know, I recall a clopfic with that exact picture...

Also, this story is good. So sayeth the Lurker.

Interesting. Sadly, I think I know what you are talking about being that I have just about every Twinkie Pie story in my library. Every... single... one!

5485281 Yo, thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it! :pinkiehappy:

Very cute! Thanks for sharing!

I love and hate this story. I think everything is great except for Rainbow dash being achy and arthritic. Don't know why that bothers me though... It's a stupid hang up, but I must have head canon that Dash is invincible or something I guess.

5486652

That's okay, man. It happens. Like I said in my note, I based her pains off of some of my own, and I haven't had near the injuries that she has. So... I figure there's gotta be a bit of aching in her.

But, hey, I'm glad you enjoyed the rest of it. No worries on the head canon differences. We're all entitled to our own :twilightsmile:

O-oh my... :rainbowderp:

:trixieshiftleft:

:trixieshiftright:

*favourites* :rainbowwild:

This was a pleasure to help preread. I may not have had the time/chance to go over the last part of the story beforehand, but it was done well and I don't think I would've had any other comments to make it any better.

Great work!

Had me grinning like an idiot. Great work!

This comment fits very well with your avatar.

The Fluffiest fluff story that ever fluffed a fluffle puff.
EDIT: Since I realise that my statement could (in some ways) be seen as negative...I /like/ things that dont try and be all dark,dramatic and heavy...Light and fluffy is awesome!

5487445
You have no idea how often people tell me that. :ajsmug:

... 'Must hold it in. C'mon, man, you're meant to be tough. Just gag yourself. Keep silent. You can do it!' *Squeee!* '...You have failed me, mouth.'

This one shot is so good! Makes me ship TwiDash a little bit more than I did ten minutes ago. I'd say i ship them about 20% more than I did. Hehe. Sorry I couldn't resist... :rainbowlaugh:

Anyway, I love the fluff and the idea of poor Rainbow getting teased in that way by Twilight is quite funny.

Huh. Just realized I forgot to fave this and to add it to my YMLT bookshelf. Better late than never, I suppose. :applejackunsure:

Naww. Cuddle buddies. Nice to see a take showing how effed up sportspeople get, even with doctors and masseurs constantly looking after them, either one big injury or the constant build up of small ones will take their toll.

5517645 Glad you enjoyed it! And yeah, like I said, a lot of it was inspired by the pains I go through—and my injuries are minimal.

Nice little dose of adorable here. :)

5538472 Aw, thanks, Cv :twilightsmile: . Really didn't expect you to go read it right after I asked. Glad you enjoyed it!

5484674

Not to be rude, but it was right before. I.e.

"Please pour some water in this cup"
"That pore on your face is huge"

5544086 Pore has more than one meaning. As a noun, it means "a minute opening in a surface", but as a verb, it means "to be absorbed in the reading or study of". Check it out here if you don't believe me.

Honestly, the only reason I know is because I made the same mistake on one of my own stories and somebody corrected me. :rainbowwild:

On one hand, very cute story. On the other, I find the entire premise to be hard to swallow. A nearly professional athlete such as Rainbow Dash would have the need for proper stretching pounded into her long before the point in time this story is set. Her time at the Wonderbolts Academy alone would almost certainly included drills in the subject if she hadn't already been familiar with it from her coaching and leadership position on the Ponyville weather team.

Hell, I speech-to-text listened to this story while on my morning run, and even an amateur runner such as myself knows the importance of stretching.

5544523 What program did you use to have this read?:twilightblush:

5547298 It's a slightly more complicated process than it used to be. I load up story chapters on my phone in mobile Chrome (usually ones I have pre-opened in tabs on my tablet, the shared tabs feature is very useful), copy the entire page from the chapter title on down, share a single word over to Talk, and paste the copied chapter. The app had some limitations, any chapter over 15k words makes it lag horribly if you need to pause and rewind a bit, but thankfully most chapters on the site are far shorter than that.

I used to just share the entire page over to the app, but recent changes in the mobile layout means you get a half dozen blog posts from the author before any actual story content.

5547683 Thanks I'll give it a go.

This was cute, I read it twice, enjoyed it so much, I then read it thrice.

Huh... this little slice of 'Dash the mare-who-tried-to-be-invincible-but-got-torn-up' was........ Well, seeing a Dash that's so full of aches is disturbing on a very deep level, given how she's never shown any weakness like it in the show.

The shipping, however, is top tier adorable.

Dang, now I want to go do some stretches. Great story!

5544523 I am incredibly late in replying to this, and for that I apologize.

To your point, yes, Rainbow Dash would indeed be taught the importance of stretching. However, the point of the story wasn't that she refused to do them. The point was that she didn't like doing them. As an athlete myself, there are some drills that I absolutely hate in hockey (fucking three man weave... just no), it's dependent on the individual. I see Rainbow as a pony who likes the drills that involve actual flying, but doesn't like stretching as much because it requires her to slow down. Teasing Twilight is the way she makes it bearable for herself.
