Whoa. I am the first comment on here! This is like crazy, and it took me so long to put all my words together to make this possible. Well, first of all, let me get started by say that is wonderful to see this chapter out. There are some that have waited the 5 months for this, where I only had to wait about a month because I didn't know about it until earlier. Even if it had been five months, I would have been here waiting the whole five months all the way. I wondered to myself why I would do such a thing, being a pretty impatient guy that I am, but as I was telling my friends about my experiences with AppleDash ships, it made me realize something important. The Rainbow Effect was, in fact, the very first story I read on FimFiction. It was the reason I came to the site everyday, the reason why I joined it, the reason I was making my stories. Without knowing about the Rainbow Effect, I can't really say how I would have found my way here. Your story is the main reason I am still on this site. I have been waiting for the longest time for something that was made of pure elegance as your story. It was the match to my bonfire, the start to all that was good about AppleDash, and the site. I have to say, thank you for this story. It has given me so much hope, so much will, so much determination that I can't even describe the feeling because simple words cannot express what I am feeling. Thank you!

Now for the chapter. The chapter was amazing, and to answer your question earlier: Yes, I did, and it definitely was a nose bleeder. I tried my best to seize my emotions because I was having a party, and I felt so embarrassed about reading it at that time. I am just happy that I don't have to read it aloud to anyone because one of my friends made me do that for them, and I was dying. You did an amazing job on the visualization that I could see what was happening (which only made things all the more embarrassing). Regarding any grammatical error, I believe I only saw a misused quotation mark, but I lost the position because my laptop turned off on me. Other than that, it was amazing! The cliffhanger is a bit of a feisty one. It was also funny that they were being watched the whole time. I'm trying not to put any spoilers in the comments in case someone reads them before reading the chapter. Anyways, that was well done, and I cannot wait for the next chapter to come out. In the mean time, I have some very important stuff I have to do, and get ready for. I have 28 days to get $2500, and I plan to have that done. Keep up the good work, I will be watching, and, most of all, thank you for everything!

From hell, to you, and back again,
Soto Konoha

P.S.- I really summed up this whole comment because my intentional comment was about three pages long.

Amazing as allways i have to thank you for getting me into fanfiction with the rainbow effect your the best appledash writer out there keep it uP

Very good chapter and I love how you ended it "It was time to be great and powerful again"

can't wait for the next chapter I hope it will be as juicy as this one

Keep up the good writing

this thing is HUGE!
wow , gonna take some days to read it XDD

It felt more like five years, but it was worth the wait I guess. I hope its next update doesn't take as long.
I'm also a willing editor, so if anyone has a story that needs preread, email me at liamotfunk@gmail.com and I will do my absolute best.
Nothing but perfection will do.

Why does it always seem like my favorite fics are the ones that update the least? The wait for this chapter was long...but it was worth it.

This chapter had me smiling a lot. You made Rainbow Dash seem so adorable. Characterization was good as always. The cloppy scenes seemed a little more graphic than last time, which I sorta liked.

What really surprised me about this chapter though was the lack of Twixie, and the lack of Twilight altogether from this chapter. I'm going to assume that Trixie makes her debut next chapter...and after waiting this long, her entrance better be awesome

A few, small typos I found:

Wanted to post these earlier, but the site was down for me! So yeah.

Also, are you by chance a fan of Tune Up!, or its successor, Cascada? The question is relevant, but explaining it depends on what your answer is.

This is great. Loved the bit with the spa twins at the end. Applejack spends so much time crying though! Buck up little pony, it's going to be okay!
Well, probably...

Yeah... I make these ponies cry a lot.

But we should be taking a nice break from that for a while.

Don't go on the site for two weeks, Aquarian Poet updates her amaza-story.

I love this, it has everything! AppleDash are so cute together and you write every aspect of both them and their relationship so well, how are you not famous?

I feel I should be paying for reading this, do you accept all major credit cards?

0.0....wow....I mean, WOW. That was completely and positively awesome. Appledash is already my favorite shipping, you just blew my expectations for this out of the water. Seriously, thank you for writing this! Rainbow's reactions to the spa treatments were priceless, escpecially when ahe was mumbling into the pillow. I loved how you made it look like Applejack was hitting on Lotus, but it really turned out that she was organizing some alone time with Dash. Great stuff, really. I am definitely eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

PS- "It was time to be great and powerful again."- SOOO BADASS.

I don't care if this is supposedly a Twixie story. This deserves to be firmly categorized as an appledash romance
Sneaky AJ massage... love it!

1503666 sweet Celestia thank you!
i thought i was the only one who saw that! seriously!

"Applejack?"
"Yeah?"
"This... *shlick* this isn't a rock bath."
"I, uh, I noticed."
"So how much longer do we have to stay in this?"
"Uhh... fifteen minutes."
"Oh."
"So this doesn't seem... odd to you?"
"Whaddya mean?"
"Rarity got mad at us for getting mud all over ourselves yesterday morning. And today, she's paying for us to soak in a tub full of mud."
"Well that's... that's 'cuz..."
"That pony is so flank-backwards."

Why the hell do I find this so funny?
