Applejack and Rainbow Dash have been dating in secret for weeks now. One afternoon, they finally find the opportunity to spend some "quality" time alone together. When Scootaloo shows up, happy and unannounced, what are the two marefriends to do?
Play laser tag with the filly, of course.
A story commissioned by TIAS-A1927
(I'm writing this comment as I go)
Off topic and I know Ponies do have pigs...but what are they used for again?
I don't think bacon is popular(or even present) at all in the pony community, and I doubt they actually "farm" pigs for their insulin.
-------
Also. they actually had the technology to do laser tag? They don't even have guns. How in Equestria did natural selection lead to that kind of development. Maybe this plot idea may be more suited for EQG universe rather than the ponyverse. I can visualize the whole scenario happening much easier with them as humans.
-------
Holy sh- bumper carts? Things are getting out of hand.
-------
I can't see Scoot's reaction being like this. Feels out of character for me, including her denseness a few moments ago in the story also dinosaurs
------
Now, disregarding all the things that I just said and focusing on the idea, plot, and writing style, it was all good. The story was refreshing and short, there were no "boring parts" I found. No problems in the dialogue as well. I like the idea maybe I'm just biased to AJ x RD but I liked it.
"And that's when I decided..." Scootaloo smiled, digging a tiny spoon into her ice cream and taking another sweet bite. "Mmmmm... that if I survive the apocalypse, then I at least want a killer sweet zeppelin all to myself!"
I want to plant a tree and live in one after the end. Find a way to fertilize with my body after my death. Hopeful won't be alone in that.
Pretty sure that's a hate crime, Scootaloo.
Welp, this was friggin' hilarious. And somehow I didn't anticipate that end but of course. Smh
(Also, that is a great song. A very, very great song. Mmmm.
)

Fertilizer. You didn't think all them apples grew on just earth pony magic did ya?
"Not only are they datin', but sis an' Rainbow Dash are trainin' ta become... PRO WRASSLERS!!!" Shouted Apple Bloom.
I've been feeling down, and this is just what I needed to cheer me up.
After spending the entire day reading chapter after chapter after chapter of Appledashery, this was uplifting.
7076780 Or a warrior handshake.
I'll be honest, not really for me. Felt somehow lacking in substance. And really, there's just the one joke, and it gets tired rather fast.
I can dig this. Cute and fluffy, with a side of perfectly paced.
Blue Harvest would be proud.

Glad I'm not the only one...
7076836 That can't be the only reason. Cow manure is considered fertilizer and can be used as a substitute. Why waste so much money(bits) and effort to raise pigs if you're just going to use their crap?
7077487
Yes, but the cows TALK. I imagine it would be rather awkward asking Daisy Jo and her pals if they could take a dump in the compost bin.
7077430 No, she said she promised to keep it between friends. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle are her friends, and Apple Bloom was the one who told the class. Scootaloo didn't break any promises.
7077494 I figured you'd say that, which is why I introduced my second arguement. The cost of raising pigs is just... too high for just fertilizer. Also, they could always find a substitute for fertilizer. I highly doubt that's the main reason.
Whatever, no point in arguing. Let's just stop.
7077505 Oh right. I was remembering this part.
I forgot her exact words when she made the promise.
7076736 the purpose of having pigs is to fulfill the romantic ideal of a farm. It always has me perlexed that we find it romantic to use other sentient beings against their will, especially when we don't need their flesh or secretions. We are a strange species indeed.

I liked this from the premise alone. And do anything wrong Scootaloo? No...No, of course you didn't. Note, that was sarcasm.
Oh man, this was gold. I hope they do something like this in S6. The CMC start up on some project "Maybe we'll get our cutie marks in 'X'! Yaaay!" and then half of Ponyville deadpans and points at their butts. "Oh... right."
skittles X Apples ship post
scootaloo is best worst monster kid
Too cute! Oh and congrats on the feature
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasdf
Heheh, three best ponies have an adorable day of fun.
I'm so on board with this story.
Hoh damn, an OK Go song in the Author's Note? Somehow, this makes the story even better.
I liked it. It's cute and fun fluff, which I've always been a fan of. Scootaloo was Scootaloo, which was good. This is just a really fun piece.

It's not a buffalo hate crime, buffalo! It's a buffalo treasured part of buffalo culture, buffalo, buffalo!
7076736 Easy, they export pigs to the Griffons.
7079913 That's sensible market-wise
Well now. I see how it is. You've only gone and let off some of that Appledash steam here, rather than in Appledashery, huh?
I feared you'd pop with all the building suspense or something but no, you've only gone behind our backs!!!!
I kid
awesome story, as always. 
Have they ever learn? Pinkie Pie knows.

Word of faust says that they "needed a place to stay, plus truffles!" can't find the link tho
Only Rainbow Dash can....only her
Dash and AJ didn't know what they unleashed when they asked Scoots to keep it between friends, did they?
7083032 well, they did say keep it between friends. Scoots told applebloom who told the others
This is WONDERFUL!
Holy shit, your portrayal of Scootaloo is the cutest. Actually, every pony in this fic is the cutest. How hasn't this story gotten more views?!
I had a smile plastered on my face throughout this entire story. Fucking loved it.
Did you too, for a second there? :rainbow wild:
This is so quotable.
BWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH




This entire story was bloody hilarious.
Sweetie Belle the marshmallow, and I already knew A.B would tell the CMC but the class!
Bells on what now? Explain? Confused...
YES!
She even breaks the fourth wall here...
I reviewed this story as part of Read It Later Reviews #76.
My review can be found here.
Bumper cars + Romance = Sledgehammer going through my head.
Nopony’s gonna get that...
Brilliant.
This is on EqD's list of best CMC stories for CMC day.
Okay, I have GOT to stop reading in class. I have had to explain just what was so frakking funny to my professors way too many times. (This one was SO worth it though!)
I love it when skirts writes stuff that has a cohesive narrative but isn’t 1000000000000 words long
......im dying this is the best thing I've ever read..
