Spitfire has only met Rainbow Dash a few times, but something about this lightning-fast pegasus has stayed on Spitfire's mind. Was it the fact that Rainbow Dash saved her life? Was it her steadfast determination to realize her dream of being in the Wonderbolts? Either way, Spitfire's going to find out, and all it takes is the Wonderbolts' next off weekend...

999 words for the epilogue. WIN. :twilightsmile:

Nice little story here. Good to see the Silver Bullets got what they deserved.

short and sweet
i would naturally prefer longer...
but this is just as good :)
great job, thumbs up and fav'ed

AWESOME!!!!:pinkiehappy::heart:

... *Keeps reading*
(Also FIRST! xD)

Short and sweet. Good for a shippin' hit.
Helps that Dashfire is my Dash-OTP.

... Not first AGAIN! I'm not a first hog! Somepony else BETTER have posted by now!

Only one chapter left?

DashFire and AppleSoar? Somewhat over-used, but whatevs! xD (You could argue that they're only over-used because they work so well! xD)

I will have to say that this was way to short because it was so good! Seriously though nicely written. It probably does help that I'm one for spitfire and dash.

A sweet short story that really gave me feels.
A true delight to read this.:pinkiesmile:

awesome, awesome story,

although i think rainbow would primarily want to fly with a wonderbolt instead of sleep with one, they both have alot in common, kinda like appledash . Good so far :rainbowdetermined2:

awesome! and i want me a sequal!javascript:smilie(':rainbowkiss:');

This is another story that people ask for a sequel a lot. It was written awhile ago now and I had no plans to write a sequel, but... eh, you never know.

Sweet! I am so looking forward to reading the other chapters!

I certainly would love a sequel; this was very well written, the dialogue was spot-on, the awkwardness, laughs, and Dawww's were perfect. This needs more reads, it truly deserves it.
5 mustaches and a happy Pinky for you!:moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::pinkiehappy:

Whoah, using full names a lot up in here. In the descriptive text, you needn't (and shouldn't) use a character's full name all the time. After Spitfire got to RD's house you wrote out the full "Rainbow Dash" like twelve times. Lighten it up a bit and make it infinitely less redundant by referring to her as just "Rainbow" or "Dash." Maybe it's too soon for Spitfire to be referring to her aloud as either of these effective "nicknames", but the descriptive text isn't bound by the rules of propriety.

Spitfire knew she needed to move Rainbow Dash, so she picked Rainbow Dash up and walked into her house with her.

This line perfectly showcases what I'm talking about. There's absolutely no reason to be referring to RD by her full name in the same sentence (literally three words separate them, so it's even more redundant). Use something like "the other pegasus" in place of the second time her name is used, instead. We already know the only pony Spitfire would be picking up is RD, so why tell us a second time?

703772 ... Is that Andy Samberg high-fiving a bobcat?

707561 ... I'm going to smile and nod and pretend I know W(ho)TF that is, so... Sure?

This was soooo needed. Spitfire and RD make a great team. ^^

Uh... sorry hehe. I get distracted when I'm writing sometimes and don't realize that I'm saying something over and over and over again. I usually catch things like that in my revision, but apparently that one's still a bit choppy. My mistake... I'm usually pretty good about that.

And now we write a branch fic where the terrible predator Spitfire does terrible things to the innocent and helpless Rainbow Dash. :rainbowwild: No, seriously, NO ONE would want to read that, but you did leave the best pegasus in a horribly compromising position! Poor girl....

I loved this story. Storm was a great antagonist. The ship felt too easy at first, but that played perfectly into RD's insecurities later. And the side story with AJ and Soren was cute, too. Overall, great work! :rainbowkiss:

Le awesome is what I would describe this, short, sweet, and full of dawww's and funny moments. A job well done I would say good sir :moustache:
I hope you write a sequel for this because I would read the hoof out of it! :pinkiehappy:
Bye for now keep up the good work :ajsmug:

AUGUST 27 IS MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!:pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiegasp:

“And what makes you think I have a crush on Rainbow Dash?” Spitfire asked.
“You just told me that you don’t remember her, but you know her name.”
BOOM, got yah there

Oh, what? you put Soarin in the hospital? ill put YOU in the hospital :twilightangry2:

just got done reading "no matter how dark"... and i must say, when i saw this, i was a little skeptical... but then i read chapter 1 and i say to myself... "i like this pair, it is cool," a mustache for you my good sir...:moustache:

there should be spitfire emoticons on the comments so i could use them as a pair, YOU SEE SPITFIRE MORE THAN TRIXIE!!!! WHY IS SHE ON HERE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! RD:heart:SPITFIRE

(closest i can get)

heres a comeback rd could have used on storm, "as for you and spitfire, storms rage when they happen, then they fade, just like you did."

MAKE A SEQUEL NOW!!!!!!!:twilightangry2::twilightangry2::twilightangry2::twilightangry2::twilightangry2::twilightangry2::twilightangry2::twilightangry2::twilightangry2::twilightangry2::twilightangry2::twilightangry2::twilightangry2::twilightangry2::twilightangry2::twilightangry2::twilightangry2::twilightangry2::twilightangry2::twilightangry2:

:yay: make sure too cheer extra loud!

Yay for dashfire:moustache:

And a sequel would be awesome!!

Squeeee! So cute!
Well done on this lovely story!

Thoroughly enjoyable! Loved the nuanced interactions between the Wonderbolts members.

Very well done! I believe that a sequel is in order for this here story. I should really make a group just for stories that are in need of sequels. I have been thinking about trying to write one myself but I don't think that I would quite do the original any justice. Anyway, great story and keep up the great writing!

Awsome and the only problem is that there is a part 2 and it is increadably sad (but if you think about it its not really a p2 cos its not the same person). Spitfire:heart:Dashi

Needs a part 2
Spitfire:heart::heart::heart:Rainbow dash
Forever

There is a part 2? Do you think you could be so kind to give me a link or the title and author? It would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you sooo much! You made my day quite a bit better! :rainbowkiss:

I just got done reading the second part. You are right, that is very sad. Now, I really want to read more from this story line. But, I disagree with your thought as to it not really being a part 2. It may not be by the same author, but it is a direct continuation of this story here. Thanks again for showing it to me.

i loved this fic like wow great story

939436 Dayum, that's a good one! :rainbowkiss: :rainbowlaugh:

I enjoyed it and it was easy to read, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that the emotions felt rushed and sophomoric at times. I can't remember how many times I shouted "You've been dating for two days! :flutterrage:" at my computer screen. I also felt there were a few parts where the emotional transitions were too quick and under-analyzed, like when Dash wasn't sure if she liked mares. She changed her mind so quickly and yet we didn't even get to understand why she wasn't sure and what caused that to change.

I'm not calling this a bad fic, not by a long shot. There were many enjoyable parts (like when Spitfire randomly showed up at Rainbow's doorstep :rainbowlaugh:), and the antagonist was pleasantly bitchy, you just need to work on letting the audience understand your characters a little bit.

Wow my most favorite couples in the fandom! Fire dash and appleorin! Nice story but I have the feeling a sequel is comming involving the silver bullets escaping and wanting revenge on the wonderbolts. Must be because of what I know of storm's character that I feel that way. Shame they might not want to do that if they knew that rainbow is friends with celestia's personal student. - mschevious grin- I can't wit to see the looks of their faces when they realize how screwed they are.
