Since Apple Bloom enrolled in dance class, she and Tender Taps have been spending a lot of time together. But when Scootaloo joins the class and proves to be a better dancer, and also becomes Tender Taps' new partner, dance class suddenly isn't so fun for Apple Bloom.
Inspired by the Irving Berlin song of the same title.

A short and simple story. The story is a little predictable but I'm glad you write it!
Don't know why I'm suddenly reminded of the song "Shut Up and Dance" by Walk The Moon.
Dang, I'm early. But anyway, SOOOOO happy for this, I ship these two so much!
Its just one of those things that just feel right...
Awwwww it's adorable!!!!! 10/10. I also never really shipped hew with anyone, some people ship her with pipsquick but I never really saw them as a real couple.
Nice to see a story outside of your Fluttercord universe. Is it predictable? Maybe. But at least it works.
Aww screw that it's complete already
I love it great story
aww so cute!
Cute! But It felt like the end of the story, so I think a plot twist might come.
Cute story
Great. Thanks DF, now I want to start ballroom dancing with my boyfriend! (Seriously, thanks)
What is the ship name for these two? AppleTaps?
But will they do it horizontally?
...
Okay, serious time.
You've caught my attention with the story "I Am Not a Lesbian", which admittedly taught the the basics of the GRSM community.
Well, the thing is, this story earned a final rating of 'meh' from me. It was a bit too telly in areas, including Applebloom's reactions and thoughts throughout the entire time. It could also stand to be a bit more descriptive in areas like the walk back to Sweet Apple Acres at the beginning.
I'll probably point out more areas for improvement later.
7534538 I'm partial to TenderBloom myself, because it didn't make it sound like Applejack is crushing on Tender Taps.
I'm thinking of another Irving Berlin song:
Alright, this story was amazing!
I now believe in Tenderbloom, although I still mostly ship Spikebloom. Ghah, Paradox! Why you do this?
The emotions and reactions are relatable: and even though I usually relate to the jealousy and protective sides, this helped me relate to all sides of the relationship.
Instant fave, DF. This was yet another masterpiece to add to your
shrinebookshelf.Edit: I just realized this comment made me sound like a total stalker...
7534623
Yes!!
Loved it. Loved everything about it.
DA FEELS! AND NOT BAD FEELS GOOD FEELS!
7534623 LOL. That actually came to mind at one point.
I was squeeing through the entire thing!
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111
7534567
The what community?

That's because it is the end of the story. This is just a one-shot.
Aww... Excellent story, especially since I ship TenderBloom a lot!
This is really cute and makes me want to ship Apple Bloom and Tender Taps more than before, but it also makes me curious as to why there isn't an episode like this yet. You'd think that they would've made an episode that covered the topic of having a crush and how to approach it, especially when also having to deal with jealousy like Apple Bloom did.
7534575 :D that does make a lot more sense!
Almost all the main six have potential beaus on the series, but only one cmc...
Cutest story, all the same.
Beautiful! Finally another Tenderbloom fanfic! It was cute, adorable, and lovely. Great Job!
7535594 Uh...Tender Taps is a canon character, though the similarities between him and Scootaloo have been noted, which was why Scootaloo was in the "other woman" role here.
The admins don't care about character tags. Most characters that appeared after the first few seasons are missing.
7534975 Gender, Romantic and Sexual Minorities. It's a more encompassing version of the the term LGBT.
No comment on my comment on the story itself?
Well now, having thought this kid's episode was average at best, I am glad such a nice story came of it. You get the gold star.
Sooooo cute! I ship the hell out of Tenderbloom. Thank you for this
7535052 "Simple Ways" addressed that exact issue.
Because the admins don't tend to add a new character tag right after every new episode. They have only done that in extraordinary cases like with Maud Pie.
7535636 Not true, sure they don't bother putting every other background pony that appears in the show; but they have updated the tags up to season five with the characters that people have been writing the most and I expect them to do the same for season six once it concludes.
~Leonzilla
Why is that everytime I see Tender Taps, I can imagine him dancing with Gene Kelly?
And yes, Family Guy.
As someone who ships TenderBloom, I approve of this fic.
7536570 They haven't updated the character tags since the start of season 5. That was over a year ago.
Honestly, I'm not sure what their excuse is. There is a huge batch of characters that don't have their own tags and it's a considerable inconvenience to both the writer and the reader.
That was really good! The story was pretty good, but I would actually like to see this continued for a least a couple of chapters, but hey it's your story. Still great job
7537836 Some stories are best kept short. To prolong them would be to ruin their simple yet effective design.
Awwwwww, this is soooo cute. Yes. this story is simple, but in my opinion that makes it more beautiful and even perfect in it's own kind of way.
Is is screeching several Octaves higher than my voice normally allows me from the cute
This was adorable. Really loved this and we need to see more fics about this couple
7537038
Trust me, you're not the only one.
*cough cough*
This is a new ship that I have yet to see lmao :D I have to say it sounds really legit to happen in the show which I would wish they would do but I don't think that he will be coming back into the show
