Just a guy who found out that a show about talking ponies is a lot better than I expected.

Rarity is a woman of many talents, including the absolute control over her vocabulary. At least, that's what she thought, until Rainbow Dash made a bet with her. A bet that Rarity can't go without saying the word "darling." Rarity's gonna need a lot of quarters by the time this is over.


My attempt to take one joke from Equestria Girls, and somehow turn it into a fic, in the same vein as Why Do We Hate Each Other? Another quick comedy story I wrote because I was bored.

I feel like the jar is gonna be a bit overflowing

Twilight blinked. "Rarity, I haven't been keeping track of that sort of thing. Plus, I'd need a large data pool to get an accurate average measurement."

It'd be funnier if she did keep track of that stuff, just to (unintentionally) annoy Rarity.

Anyways, good short story.

Very cute. n_n

Okay, now that's funny.

hehehehe. This was great.:rainbowkiss:

Now let's make it a real challenge, have her go a full month. With that amount of money, they're gonna earn some big ones! :rainbowwild:

We're gonna need a bigger jar.

I thought of it, but I thought it would be out of character for Sci-Twi.

Fantastic poke at Rarity's habitual linguistics. She'll always be physiologically geared and primed to operate with some sort of neutral pronoun.

Adorable story!

What is it with MLP fans and jars?!

"Thank you, darling dear," said Rarity.

Heh.
:ajsmug:

This is hilarious! :rainbowlaugh:

Oh look, someone's hating nearly every comment here with dislikes!

Thanks for encouraging me to read this fun story, mystery troll/hater/sad person! I hope you find joy in your life one day! :pinkiehappy:

Did you just make an indirect reference to "Rune Soldier Louie"? I remember in one episode Merrill had a jar full of coins she named her "Darling Jar".

It's a bit Jaring when you have such things pointed out to you.

Great story, it could have perfectly been a plot for an EQG episode.

And people claimed I had her using it too many times in my story.

I might've, but I've never seen that movie, so if I did, it was unintentional.

I suppose next Pinkie is gonna get a 'Laugh Jar'.

This was great. Gotta love silly stories that poke fun at a character's habits and milk it for all it's worth.:rainbowlaugh:

The only thing I'm disappointed of is that I didn't think of having fun with Rarity's fondness of calling others "darling" myself.

Dude, you'd need a tanker truck to hold that many quarters.

I thought she was going to correct herself and say "darn". :raritywink:

A nice sequel would involve AJ and her famous saying.

That was certainly a really funny story. It sure gave me a laugh too, and it's surprising how often Rarity says "darling". This gets a fave from me. :heart:

Also, since when is Fluttershy so good at tennis? Practice at home, maybe? :yay:

I hope we see a "Sugarcube" jar just for the fun of it.

It would be so much fun if they ended up setting an awesome jar for RD.

11742009 Anime actually but I digress.

..Ok, I admit, I cackled a few times, an actual literal rarity for MLP fanfics. Bravo.

Though Rainbow Dash says 'awesome' more than Rarity herself says 'darling' wonder how many times she'd be forced to put her bits in the jar. :rainbowlaugh: 😂

"Sounds good to me!" said Pinkie, reaching into her hair and pulling out an empty glass jar. The lid had a small, rectangular hole cut into it. At the look everyone gave her, Pinkie added, "I have jars lying around in case of jar emergencies!"

What a very Pinkie thing to say.

"Now then," said Mr. Time Turner, "who can tell me the relationship between force and mass?"

Doctor Whooves is their physics teacher? No problem with that!

Fluttershy blinked in surprise. "You say 'darling' when you're angry?"

It’s a nice substitute to... things that would get you a bar of soap in your mouth.

"Good-night, d—"

Does that count? She didn’t say the whole thing.


Congrats! Your story is the first (atleast fully) EQG fic I’ve read on this site! Wait... is that really a cause for celebration? I dunno, it’s a matter of opinion.

The story was pretty funny, no laugh-out-loud moments for me but it got a chuckle from me at the end. Nothing too special happens in this so I’ll give it a GOOD
