Nothing says I miss you quite like war poetry carved in your door with a stanley knife.
Twilight Sparkle is dating Applejack. Pinkie Pie is dating Rarity. In fact, it seems like everyone in Ponyville has a special somepony, except for Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy!
So they join a bowling team.

And then RD and Flutters remained best friends and Rainbow eventually found love in Gilda and for some reason Fluttershy found love with Trixie. The end.

I'd ship it.
6226241 With the way you ended this I'd just figure I'd add my own Epilogue.
Its funny through I'm not sure if I'm impressed or disturbed how dedicated the others are to pairing them up.
Matchmaking is one thing but this seems on a way more intensive level.
6226308
'Disturbed' is probably the most appropriate response, yes. Though they really didn't do too much directly, other than Rarity vaguely pushing Fluttershy to be more assertive. It's not as if the entire last minute victory was carefully planned out and orchestrated by Twilight in order to provide a perfect cathartic moment for romantic confession.
...I think.
Nah, that'd be ridiculous.
Cute, and hilarious. Brilliant little story.
6226308 I can see it though. Just look at Twilight, once she discovered friendship she decided everypony needed to discover friendship. Its not to hard to imagine her treating romance the same way.
Everything about this is wonderful and you should feel awesome
What? Were you expecting something constructive?
6226335 hahaha aye!
Considering how everyone was watching at that moment iit looks like Twi recruited the entire bowling alley to help them. I bet she gave a presentation, with handouts that had detailed flowcharts for Plan : Bowled Over with Love.
6226378 wonder if she asked Cadence for tips?
Oh god. Scootaloo...
Bam Logic!
requesting official/unofficial sequel with the plastic arcade spiders. spicing up someone's romantic date.
arcade workers likely hated me as a kid because I just had to seperate every single ticket so they'd have to insert a hundred of them into the counting machine ONE. BY. ONE.
6226871
Oh, see, it seemed like the arcades I went to always just had the scale things where the staff would dump all the tickets into a plastic bucket and weigh it to see how many there were.
...Which at one point led to me and some friends getting in trouble for taking a reasonably large ball of tickets and getting them all wet so they'd weigh more.
It's refreshing to read a story that actually makes me laugh out loud for once.
6226885
hah, brilliant
I sorta remember using clear scotch tape to pull off a similar weight scam, but I didn't see those machines as often.
Rainbow and Fluttershy are lucky to have such great friends. I wish I had friends like that.
6227035 I do have a friend like that. It's about as fun as it sounds
Can I just say, I'm not a Twilight/AJ ship fan, and even I found the mental image of this uncontrollably adorable.
What da buck?
I think the part I laughed the most at was Buttmonkey the dragon.
Don't get me wrong, I laughed at the rest of it too, but that was such a show-perfect Spike buttmonkeying it felt like it had perhaps been taken straight from an episode.

It's fun/adorable when other ponies wear AJ's hat:

Well, that plan was a bust. Thankfully Twi has her science, which never fails! Except when it does. Which is quite often, considering how many times she screws something up in the show
This story inspired me to draw something. I thank you graciously, sir!
The CMC were great in here. Sweetie running around with 6000 spiders in the boutique and Scoots under the table are very cute/ funny mental images.
That line from Scoots under the table though...
This was absolutely hilarious! Great work.
Y'know, I think you might actually have a serious problem with Fluttershy. You've done multitudes of mane six ships and Fluttershy has been in exactly zero of them. Even in the proto-version of this, she was the common element in the non-ship!
(basically what I'm saying is Flarity pls)
I enjoyed seeing this trope lampooned. I have nothing against the trope, when done well, but it's done poorly often enough for me to enjoy making fun of it.
Also, Spike loses out on another chance at dignity with a well-placed callback. But...we never see him for the rest of the story. Did he get eaten by the pin-machine? Is he dead? Has he merged with the machine to become an entity beyond anything the world's seen before? If so, then that needs to be a sequel. Somehow.
6228528 In other words, it was typical harmless slapstick.
6231445
Awww, but saying slapstick doesn't raise the hackles of the Spike fans.
I'm not understanding... Why does it say this story is complete when its open for the next chapter? I'm gonna follow this story just in case.....
6230809 I concur
I demand an encore. I feel cheated.
6230809 Who gives a ship? 'Shy can stay alone. Besides, if the goal is to partner up the entire main cast, you'd best ask that Spike be the M6's mutual boy toy...in about seven years.
How come you end the story here? It seems like you could've continued this story. The ending didn't really seem like an ending for a story.
Goddammit, this story is great.
YOU did Not! PULL the don't call Me SURELY CARD!
plus all my ships, BUT TEH REFRENCE DOH!!!!
Can't they just make them a Love Posion? Or get Cadance to make them fall in love?
Ridiculous and great fun, having been victim to well-meaning friends with shipping goggles, this was perfect.
I'm a little bummed that it didn't end in FlutterDash. Oh well, at least the others are still trying.
BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! (breathes) AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
Oh my god, I'm crying tears!
She said...ah ha ha ha! SHE SAID SOUP!
And something about big heavy balls.
This is such a great story! The characterisation, the general flow, the conclusion... all better than good! Have a thumbs up and a doff of a flat cap.
That's a very slick explanation for a canon plot hole.
Also, nice cameos, good humor, a moral lesson (even if our characters don't learn it) and decent characterization other than the "suddenly dating" part of the story, which is required for the set up. All in all, a fun read.
This fic is really funny. Out right had to stop reading to laugh because of Scootaloo, and any cleverly written response to "Yeah, well your face is an X" is a good response. Oh god, also Pinkie warping and violating space-time just to play on a separate bowling team.
5 outta 5
