Prom is just a week away in Canterlot High, and the whole student body is preparing for it. Unfortunately Rainbow Dash learns that some of the boys are preparing for it in ways that are making her oldest friend more then a little uncomfortable. In trying to find a way to help her she creates a situation that might just be even more uncomfortable for the both of them. What happens next is a series of uncomfortable situations that will push both girls way out of their comfort zones and test the boundaries of how deep their bond really is.
Another flutterdash from me, the world can always use a little more flutterdash. I honestly don't have a great plan heading into this one, but this idea has been flouting around my head for a while and I'm gonna do it.
Set in an indistinct time between Equestria Girls movies 2 and 3 for simplicities sake.
Rated teen because I'm putting in a scene that drops a lot of language, but other then that it should be clean.
Comments always welcome, good and bad, so feel free to tell me what you think. If you have ideas feel free to share. Like I said, I don't have a great plan so you might influence me greatly as things progress.
Ah this is some good stuff keep it up. Sorry i'd give some criticism but i'm not very good at that or just typing long sentences for that matter.
9314087
glad you like it so far
No problem, I like getting praise too
Wow Dash...didn’t see that coming
As I’ve said before, I am so happy with how every one so far is in character (well with how I personally see them), especially my Dash. I’m going to definitely keep tracking this, I hope you get to update soon!
Ooh, this setup looks good. I'll have to look into it. Just a bit of advice though: if you want people to really notice this, you might want to think of capitalizing the second word in the title.
9314523
I usually do that out of custom at this point. I never really tried to take my writing seriously when I first started, so I purposely didn't make my title like real titles. But I guess you're right. It might be time for a little more polish.
This is some good stuff.
9314981
Thank you so much, and thanks for the watch too
Flutterdash is like a drug. Once i get started, it's hard to stop
9314212
Sooner then you might think
Another great chapter :3
Yayy
That would be a creepy cafeteria to show up late to. You’d either wander through a statue garden or find the doors blocked by the catatonic.
The plot thickens.
Woohoo. 100 views already. Thanks everyone!!!!!!!!!!
9329355
This why the needed explanation to the other Rainbooms in the next chapter. I think back in highschool the only time I ever heard the cafeteria go quiet was when a guy I knew let out a burp that echoed through the room. Whole student body turned in unison, all he said was "what?" I led the clapping that followed
9329374
Yes, but it might stall here soon. I could use ideas and commentary like you've done in the past. The third chapter is close ish to done and after that my only ideas are for the finale. Why didn't I take my own advise and take a break from writing
Oh right is because guys like you are awesome
Good Chapter. Can't wait for the next one.
or a sad ending.
(personally want a happy ending # FlutterDashForLife.)
So are you going to write a chapter for each day until prom or do plan to speed things along? And do plan to have admit their true feeling to one another before or after prom. And will they actually have a happy ending
9334347
I have a few ideas and a vague idea for a climax but no real way on how to put them together. I will say, I haven't strayed from a happy ending in my stories yet
No spoilers
Actually, I wasn't kidding in my description. I'm not sure how I'm going to proceed from here.
9334418
Good to know.
I would think it would best play out with a slow boil. Rainbow calculating what should be done for the ruse making her more and more stressed with Shy welcoming and even reciprocating in a way that implies desperation and despair. All building to prom night where one event leads to it all boiling over at once. Predictable perhaps, but how the journey is accomplished is usually where the gold of a story lies. Or you could have comedy give subtlety the finger and have Blueblood attempt to duel Dash for her affections.
9335322
I do agree that cleche and predictable is not necessarily a bad thing. Things become tropes for a reason, because they are good. And yeah I had been moving that way too. What I need is set pieces, not general ideas. But least you think I'm just sitting here complaining that you're not being helpful, you've actually been very helpful
9335440
My method for when I write backstories for D&D characters is usually to put the character in the broad local and then just let things take their course. As such any suggestions I would make would either be general, or so tediously long winded that it would be little help. Thus the best I could offer is saying whatever randomly claws it’s way up from the abyss in hopes of triggering some kind of epiphany.
9335451
Interesting thought process. My method is actually similar, but with determined set piece situations. I then just try to imagine how the characters would move better then organically and work their way through them.
And please feel free to use any of my works as dumping grounds for any twisted monstrosity that might crawl from your head.
9335461
Noted and appreciated.
And pressure begins to mount.
9366884
Dang you got through that fast
9366936
Blind luck that I came across it exactly when I did.
Loving this story keep up the good work
9367439
Thanks so much, merry Christmas
Loving this. Such a nice slow buildup.
I predict that Fluttershy will start to feel guilty about indulging in the fake dating as the week goes on and as things progress, as if she's taking advantage of Rainbow Dash by doing so.
And for Rainbow Dash, I predict she will find it harder and harder to keep herself from becoming emotionally attached to the pretend relationship and will dread the thought of Shy pretending to break up with her.
Just a couple shots in the dark. This has tons of potential and definitely isn't predictable.
9367937
I like your ideas, and I'm glad to know you like it. It's not even predictable for me right now, I'm having fun making this up as I go. It should speed up a little after this, I think
Hey, where is Sci-Twi?
9374768
I am a lazy writer and attempting to write around the extra complexities that introduces makes writing more difficult. After eqg 2 but in a time line where 3 may never happen. Or you know, just hasn't happened yet. I do like scitwi, I don't want to negate her existence.
Or do I?
No, no I don't.
I just want my stories to be clean yet simple.
9374768
Actually thank you. Did not realize I didn't put that in the description.
9367988
This is really great.
Love the build up of everything, I also like how you’ve made it fluttershy is the one slightly more desperate for the relationship with RD than the other way around.
Though I must say I think maybe instead of having them both slowly come to think they are taking advantage of each other.
Perhaps you should have them come to realise how good enough for the other they actually are and maybe how they both confess to one another before the prom and while their friends are expecting a fake break up. Perhaps have them announce that they are officially dating for real and have RD say that pinkie can plan the party.
Just my thoughts and perhaps an idea.
9380418
Glad to hear you like it. The build up was pretty much everything I had had planned going into it, at least in the sense that I plan anything.
And I'm not saying I'm going to incorporate your ideas, but I am saying I really like your ideas.
9380446
Well thank you very much for saying you like the idea.
To be honest with out your base work on the story and the chapters thus far I wouldn’t have even thought of the idea to begin with.
I am a very passionate fan of FlutterDash one of my favourite pairs to be honest and I love it when people show how they each fell for the other.
But anyway great story so far mate.
Cannot wait to see what you have for Tuesday and Wednesday.
Though I would perhaps recommend if you do use my idea have them come to the realisation by about Wednesday and latest Thursday.
But that’s just my recommendation for if you use the idea
I don't know why but these scenarios are always my favorite. "Fake" relationships that turn real. Rainbow acting without thinking, instinct. She's got me shook. This is wonderfully written and I see it's not finished though I can't help but to read what you have. I'm IN LOVE.
Side note: i'm actually writing a Flutterdash similar to this scenario. Them faking a relationship to get rid of a stalker. Another reason i'm already thoroughly enjoying this story!
9383420
Sounds interesting, send me a link when you get it up.
I always like creating situations first, then thinking of how characters would actually end up in them/ navigate them once they were in them. I think I like Rainbow and Fluttershy both together and individually because their personalities can get them into interesting situations while making it still believable. Glad to see it's working.
My word
This is adorable. One of the best fanfictions I've read in a while. I really hope you're continuing this currently!! I would love to see more!!! 
9383438
but it's really coming along and getting closer to the finish.
Yes! Exactly, they are a very interesting mixture. And I do the same as well, put usable characters in situations and have them react realistically, or what I think is realistic. Haha
I will! I've been working on it for almost 2 years now
9383566
Thanks for that. Honestly I'm a sucker for prise even though I don't seek it out directly. Comments like that makes me want to keep writing. And I will definitely be continuing this story. I really can't leave a thought unfinished. I only have one potentially dead story, and that was never published in the first place.
Btw, have you considered starting to release your story in smaller parts. It helps get your views higher as well.
I'm giving you a follow btw, since it's the only way you can friend on this site.
9383667
Yayy! I'm glad you intend to finish! I can't wait!
And, I just take so long on my stories and finish them at different times that I wait until I'm compleatly finished to upload them. But when I do, I upload it chapter at a time, not all at once. Just so that there's a guaranteed chapter update on a timely basis.
The way I write, currently I have like 8 scenes done for the story, mostly done, and then I try piecing them all together. Sometimes I write the ending before I even write the beginning of the story. It's kind of like painting, I get all the main ideas of the story out and then start to fine-tune them.
Another amazing chapter. Gotta love the fact that fluttershy is the only one able to calm the raging storm that is rainbow Dash.
9401598
And Rainbow is the only one who can get Fluttershy to have confidence in herself. It's almost like they're perfect for each other or something
9401649
Finally someone else understands the brilliance that is the flutterdash ship. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the shout out. Love the chapter but I admit there is a bit of frustration over the stance Luna takes. I’ve always seen punishing the whole for the actions of a few as reprehensible, and the fact that many schools take that stance in real life is always on the bizarre side. Also I am really curious as to Rarity’s intended revenge at this point.
9401877
Plus I like the idea of Luna as the hard a$$ of the sisters in the Equestria Girls world and was trying to create a school based version of eternal night.
That is why you have the second in command pose the threats. Then no one is 100 percent certain if such a punishment will stand, but no one will dare test it
9401925
Suppose it would be difficult to come up with an analogue to eternal night that wouldn’t be illegal.
Wait, is the prom cancelled or did Luna just warn that it would be cancelled if the harassment didn't cease?
In any case, it looks like Rainbow and Fluttershy's 'relationship' has taken a step to becoming the real thing, provided that they work up the guts to admit how they feel to each other.
