The Red Parade


Cars are still parked outside. If the rapture had happened, why was it unrecognizable? Why was the sky blue? Why did no one tell me? Do these things not announce themselves?

E

Rarity and Twilight want to dance. Rainbow wishes they wouldn't.

The correct plural of "body" is "bodies", not "bodys". I'm assuming English isn't your first language.

But while we're at it, punctuation marks go on the inside of quotation marks not the outside :P

Nice story!

... Odd comment section

This was really cute! Rainbow's complaining thoughts felt like a bit much, but jealousy will do that.

“Dancing. What even is dancing,” Rainbow grunted. “They’re just… they’re just throwing their bodies around.”

“Yup, sounds right,” Applejack said idly.

Rainbow waved her hoof in their direction. “It’s just… it’s a waste! You know?”

dang Twilight and Rarity are really eating crackers to Rainbow here, it seems

Rainbow shuddered, eyes going wide as she started coughing violently. It took several slaps to her back from Applejack before she could speak again. “W-What do you mean talk to them?! I can’t just do that!”

“Well sure you can! You got a mouth, don’t ya? You got a voice, and from where I’m sittin’ both of ‘em got ears.”

such an Applejack way to retort, love it!

Rainbow sighed, downing another gulp from her bottle. Her gaze drifted out to the assembled crowd on the dancefloor, moving fluidly amongst each other in perfect time. Maybe it was the lights or maybe it was the drinks, but to Rainbow they looked like faceless, formless blobs, pulsing spastically in a dark room.

It reminded her of some strange vile creature in a science-fiction story.

dang, she is really disassociating!

Flying through the air to knock down the walls of paradise.

Rainbow thought that sounded like something out of a Daring Do novel.

it is a cool sentence but is Daring Do really the thing to think of? read another book, Rainbow!

“But… they could die at any second! Like, their horns could fall apart or something and they’re just wasting their bodies on stuff like fancy dates and dancing?!” Rainbow leaned into Fluttershy’s shoulder.

The cat in Fluttershy’s lap gave Rainbow a suspicious look.

yeah… she is being that obvious here!

“...Maybe a little, but that doesn’t mean I’m jealous! It’s just not okay when they do it without me!”

classic Rainbow

“Why, thank you, dear,” Rarity grinned. “I think that yes, I do have these are some very nice shoulders!”

so true. and Rarity must really like Rainbow after such a line!

And for the rest of the night their bodies moved across the floor, swaying in time to the music.

doesn’t seem like a waste of time now, does it, Rainbow?


i’m guessing the title is another song title reference, and such a strange one to fit the context of a story, but you made it work! bodies, Rainbow’s clumsiness, the odd spelling, it all goes together. thank you for writing!

its called Bodys because this is based on a song called "Bodys" by Carseat Headrest

edit: ah never mind the author already responded but might as well let you know for a second time :ajsmug:

And i knoooow that i don't talk a lot, but i knooow that you don't care a lot. As long as we move our bodies around a lot we'll forget that we forgot how to talk

Saw the title, read the brief description under the recommendation then opened it and saw I was right about it being Car Seat Headrest. Indeed Rarity those are you got some nice shoulders. Love how Rainbow was, very fun and silly story
