I don't know why, but I keep thinking of Adam Sandler in place of Anon. Maybe it's because a lot of the stuff he does in this story is the same kinda stuff Sandler often does in pretty much any movie he stars in...?
Then again, it certainly ups the comedy factor a few dozen points!
I feel a bit bad being a nay-sayer, (or neigh-sayer I suppose.) I just don't buy the romance through adversity and I didn't find myself drawn in. However your writing is good so I'm not gonna downvote or anything.
7299434 I am not going to lie here, I liked the story but in all honestly the "fall in love part" fells very rushed and also very forced upon the characters with the intervention of Luna and Celestia, like they are not giving them a choice in the mather, "fall in love or be alone in darkness" now choose.
“You act as if you’re afraid of being stuck here in Equestria but the fact is that you’re afraid that you’ve found a reason to stay.”
Damn, I absolutely loved that dialogue from Celestia! Honestly, that might be the best single sentence that I've ever read on this site. It was very powerful and very well timed. Great Work!!!
I know you expressed your concern about Anon’s well being in Equestria and the strained relationship between him and Barb, but I’m happy to tell you that they are getting along just fine now. In fact, I’m sure you’ll be surprised by what you see when they come back to Ponyville in a few days.
Celestia signs her name and sends the message to Twilight. It’ll take a bit of time but she wouldn’t want to ruin Anon and Barb’s moment, even if it would be a bit entertaining. Celestia gets up from her seat and walks back into her room. Perhaps she’ll make reservations for them to have a proper date before they return to Ponyville? Yes, that sounds nice.
Dear princess Celestia,
Wait, this wasn't what I wanted! All I wanted was for them to not be fighting anymore! He's Mine, you hear me?! MINE! *Ahem* I suppose I should at least be happy they aren't fighting anymore....perhaps since we're practically sisters anyway Barb might be willing to share since Sharing is an important part of maintaining a Friendship. Sincerely, P.T.S. - Nah, just kidding. This was okay.
OMG!!!! That was such a hearth warming story. I was literally crying like a big baby so much it took some time for me to give up trying to read it and turn on the text to voice function. From the restaurant scene onward I was wiping tears out of my eyes more and more often. I love female Spike. There's just something about Barb that just really gets me right in the feelings.❤ Even now I'm still tearing up and sniffling bc I'm just so happy they finally realized.
You didn't. What you actually did was annoy a pony whose sister can get inside your head and rewrite your thoughts as you sleep. And she just put you to sleep.
7299434 Precisely. I was enjoying it up until they went from zero to love over the course of about 45 minutes.
Love that pony society is innocent enough that you can just carry your suddenly-unconscious date home from the restaurant and nobody asks any questions.

JACK AND JILL BUT PONIES
That was....Awesome.
Love the characters, story, setup, everything

Good job sir
Great story.... I wish every story was this good!
This was sweet. I don't even know if I want to read the clopilouge.
Felt quite cliche towards the end, but it was a solid ending. A classic ending with a minor spin on it.

Haven't actually gotten to the second chapter yet but I gotta say this is one cute ass story. I like this a lot.
Gotta say, never thought I'd like a r63 Spike, but ya proved me wrong.
I'm curious.. why Anon? Name wise that is. Anon's usually reserved for 2nd person stories isn't it?

THis needs to exist....like right now.
...Did they forget dinner with the princess?
It went from hate to love a bit quick.
Really good
Probably the first (And only) HIE story that I like were the human is called "anon" xd
Amazing story. I love it. you glorious bastard.
Celestia flashing Anon was bucking hilarious.

Cute, but just way too contrived for an upvote. 7.2/10
Awww, nuts.
Yes, it was! Get greedy again, Barb!

Oh well, more cake that Celestia doesn't have to share.
why does it sound like there was brainwashing in the story to me? anyone else sensing the Brainwashing vibes?

It does have that feeling, doesn't it?
I have to say, this is the funniest thing I've ever read.

I must be tripping cause I can swear I can hear brainwashing in this story…….am i tripping or???
