Throwing Knives
Rainbow Dash sat down in her place behind the judge’s table and watched the announcer, Mr. Gray, trot back onto the stage. Applejack had told her his name at some point, but it had been about as dull as his fashion sense, and she’d instantly forgotten it. He kept swallowing and clearing his throat while he talked. Not all ponies were as cut out for the spotlight as she was.
Besides that, he looked about the same as he did when he’d signed her up one week earlier, and just as excited too. She had to wonder what the organizers had been thinking when they’d put him in charge. “All right everypony,” he called out, his tone as flat as a pancake. “Let us thank, uh, Miss Lyra and Miss Bon Bon for that, uh, delightful performance.”
He clopped his hooves lightly on the stage. The crowd followed suit with some equally light clopping, clearly unsure how excited they were supposed to be about the ‘delightful performance’. Ponies filled the entire town square and even crowded into a couple side streets, all centered around a small, open air stage, empty save for a handful of bullseyes and targets. More a testament to how little there was to do in Ponyville on a Monday afternoon than to the popularity of the sport.
Dash hadn’t actually bothered to watch the other team, but she knew it couldn’t match her and Applejack. Being an amateur competition open to the public, nearly every team that had gone on so far had put on pitiful shows. Most barely even knew how to throw, completely missing their targets. There had been more than one close call with knives flying out into the crowd, caught at the last second by standby unicorns. The few who actually knew what they were doing opted for shows of accuracy or speed, but none had the confidence to throw their knives at a live pony.
“Next up,” Mr. Gray continued, looking down at a piece paper, “is Miss, uh, Applejack and Miss Rainbow—”
A cymbal crash sounded through the square so loudly Dash’s teeth vibrated. She saw Pinkie Pie, standing along with Rarity, Twilight, and Fluttershy near the front of the crowd, excitedly bouncing up and down and blasting a pair of cymbals together.
“—Dash,” Mr. Gray finished before ambling off the stage and joining the other judges by their table in front of the stage.
“You ready?” Applejack asked, turning to Rainbow.
Dash passed her partner her most confident smile. “Whenever you are.”
Applejack looked down. “There’s something I really need to tell you first. I changed the—”
“Later!” Dash said, racing up onto the stage. Applejack had been bothering her about some change she’d made to the board all day. Dash had let her know in so many words that she couldn’t care less, but she just wouldn’t let it go.
Applejack sighed and quickly followed her up. Dash set about dragging the standard targets and bullseyes, creaking and scraping, off to the side of the stage. Then Applejack pushed their makeshift target from the side, a large circular board standing upright on a small platform that Applejack had made in her barn, onto center stage. Murmurs flitted from mouth to mouth through the crowd.
Dash winked at her friends in the crowd as she pushed herself back against the board, spreading her forelegs almost instinctively. The confused murmurs grew louder. Applejack quickly fastened the straps over her stomach and chest before moving on to her legs. After several dozen practices, Dash was almost beginning to feel at home tied onto the board. Besides, she couldn’t complain about the excuse it gave her to have almost-intimate contact with Applejack. Though Applejack seemed to be going much faster than usual this time, and she, silent, avoided all of Dash’s attempts at eye contact.
With the straps set, Applejack stepped back. Suddenly, Dash felt the uneasy sensation of falling, noticing with a start that her legs were rising into the air and her head sliding down to the side. She realized that it wasn’t her, but the entire board that had moved. “Whoa! Applejack, what the hay is going on?”
Applejack reached a hoof out, steadying the board. She looked away and rubbed the back of her head with her free hoof. “Well, uh… I tried to tell you this earlier, but, uh…”
“Yeah?” Dash pressed, though she could already tell she wouldn’t like the answer.
“Eh… the board’s gonna be spinnin’ while I throw.” Applejack winced and passed her a sheepish smile.
Dash took a deep breath, silencing the alarm bells ringing in her head. “Okay.”
Applejack’s mouth fell open. “What?”
“Okay,” Dash repeated. “I trust you.”
Applejack stood silent for several moments before wrapping her forelegs around Dash in a tight hug. Dash heard her sniffle.
“Yeah, but I really, really wish you would’ve told me sooner,” Dash said with a shaky laugh.
“I’m sorry.” Applejack squeezed her harder. “I swear I tried to tell you.”
“It doesn’t matter now.” Dash shrugged, or tried to shrug. “Now let’s blow em’ away.”
Applejack pulled back and brushed her lips lightly against Dash’s cheek in the barest of kisses and whispered, “Thank you.”
Dash’s eyes flew open wide. Did she—we just—I just— She tried to say something, but it got confused in the long journey up her throat and all that came out was, “Buh?”
Applejack laughed and nodded to her. Dash blinked rapidly, trying to get her thoughts in order and understand what had happened. She was still in too much of a daze to notice when Applejack grabbed one side of the board with two hooves and yanked it down with an audible grunt.
Rainbow Dash’s world turned into a smear of colors spinning and blending wildly together. She immediately regretted the hayfries she’d eaten that morning. Her stomach felt like it was going for a ride in a blender. She tried to focus on a single point, but each point flew all over her vision in incomprehensible circles. She gave up and resigned her thoughts to the whirling, obscure haze they had become.
Her heartbeat held steady though. A strange calm had come over her, the same one that came over her every time she lay strapped up to the board. She wondered if that calm came to everypony who trusted their lives to someone they cared for.
She heard shocked gasps and then silence from the crowd, leaving only the perpetual creaking of the spinning board. A distinct thud rang out over the stage. The wobbling board threw off all of her senses, and she couldn’t tell if it had been from a knife or something else.
Several more thuds followed the first and then silence again. The board began to slow, but Dash’s head was still reeling too much to see anything. Suddenly, the crowd burst out into cheering so loud she couldn’t hear anything over the inanimate roar.
Applejack’s grinning face appeared in the center of her vision. Dash blinked. At some point, she had stopped spinning, but it was hard to tell anything for certain with the ceaseless buzzing in her ears. The ground still seemed to be moving up and down, and she couldn’t quite focus on anything other than Applejack’s freckles.
“D-did we do it?” She choked out over the lump in her throat. It didn’t seem possible that it could be over so quickly. She had only been strapped down in what felt like seconds earlier.
Applejack nodded, smiling brightly. “I—we, we did it.”
It took all of two seconds for Rainbow Dash to forget her dizziness. As soon as she was out of the straps, she began performing victory somersaults in the air in front of the cheering crowd. It sounded like every pony in the square was excitedly clopping their hooves and yelling. Dash couldn’t spot her friends in the pulsing blob of ponies anymore, but she was certain she could hear Pinkie Pie’s shriek.
Dash continued indulging in the attention long after Mr. Gray trotted on stage to shoo her away. It finally took a tug on her tail by Applejack to get her to return to the waiting area with the other contestants. On the way back to their seats, it seemed like everypony Dash and Applejack passed had some congratulations or pat on the shoulder to give them, not that Dash minded. When the attention was finally directed back to Mr. Gray, he announced the next team. Rainbow Dash genuinely felt sorry for anypony who had to follow them.
Noticing Applejack leaning towards her, her mouth moving, Dash perked her ears up.
“Thank you.”
“No problem, I guess,” Dash replied, confused. “I didn’t really do anything.”
Applejack placed a hoof on Dash’s shoulder. “No, I couldn’t have done that without you. No pony else would’ve let me do that.”
“Oh…” Dash looked away, her ears growing warm. “I just, uh, know you’re, uh, really cool, you know.” She passed Applejack a smile she hoped looked right.
Applejack laughed, and the warmth in Dash’s ear passed into her cheeks.
Desperate for a change of topic, Dash decided to finally voice a question that had been lingering on the tip of her tongue since that very fist day of practice. .
“Hey Applejack…”
“Yeah, sugarcube?” Applejack said, tilting her head to the side. A cheer rose up from the now-excitable crowd, nothing like the one they’d received though.
Dash dully kicked at the ground with her hoof. “When I signed up, the guy said you already signed up with me…”
“Yup.” Applejack smirked. “I figured you’d probably be too airy to bother actually readin’ the rules.”
“Yeah…” Dash looked up, still shuffling her hooves. She probably should have smiled at the little jab, but her mouth had set itself in a frown. “But I wouldn’t have signed up at all if you never would have said anything about it…” Dash shrugged.
Applejack laughed again, though Dash thought she heard a hint of nervousness in it that time. “Well, I guess I just wanted to spend some time with ya’. What’s wrong with that?”
“Nothing!” Dash answered quickly, too quickly.
Another cheer rose up from the crowd. “But why all this?” Dash asked, waving a hoof in the air. “Couldn’t we have just played horseshoes or something?”
Applejack’s smile stumbled a little. “Maybe I wanted to show off a little. Or maybe…” Her face dropped, becoming the embodiment of earnestness. “Maybe I wanted to show you that you can trust me.”
“But I already trusted you,” Dash said, one brow rising. “You didn’t need to throw knives at my face for me to know that.”
“Then why are you hiding how you feel from me?” Applejack asked simply.
Rainbow’s throat tightened, cutting off her breath. She forced her jaw to work past the surprise that whirled down her back and up into her head, making standing difficult. “I—I d-don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Applejack sighed deeply, her eyes dropping as she shook her head. “You really don’t trust me at all, do you?”
“What?” Dash asked, feeling a sickening twist in her stomach. “I trust you. I swear I do.”
Applejack raised her head, a fire lit behind her eyes. She placed two hooves on Dash’s shoulders before the pegasus had a chance to back away. She looked Rainbow straight in the eyes, and Dash flinched beneath her gaze.
Just as she was about to pull back, Applejack let out another long sigh, the heat behind her eyes dying away. “I’m sorry, sugarcube. It ain’t fair to make you do anything you don’t wanna, no matter how much I might want ya’ to.”
She smiled at Dash, still holding onto her shoulders. “But you can trust me. You never have to hide anything from me,” Applejack said, her face so close that Dash could feel her breath tickling the tip of her snout. “I won’t ever hurt you. Do you understand that?”
Dash opened her mouth to answer when Applejack leaned forward. She grazed Dash’s cheek in a nuzzle more gentle than Dash would have thought possible from the rough ‘n tumble farm pony. Rainbow Dash froze, her mind void of any thought.
She didn’t say anything for a long time, frantically staring back at Applejack. Every muscle in her body screamed at her to turn and run, her wings gently flapping of their own accord. But she fought them back down, remembering the feeling of the small kiss when she’d been tied to the board.
“Maybe… there is something I’ve wanted to ask you for a while,” Dash said, quietly.
Applejack’s smiled widened. She nodded, willing Rainbow to continue. Another cheer rose up from the crowd. Dash couldn’t help but think it was some sort of sign.
She gulped. “I guess, uh, I’ve always kind of looked up you. Like, a lot. More than any other pony. You’re so strong, and, sometimes, I wish I could be that strong. But no matter what I do, you’re always stronger than me,” Dash blurted all in one breath. She wanted to get it out as quickly as possible before she had a chance to talk herself out of it. Applejack’s face remained cool and unreadable.
“It used to bother me,” Dash continued, too far gone to stop the embarrassing admission. “But then I realized something.” Dash smiled. “I realized that it was nice to always have something really great that I could work for. And you were my something really great. And, uh, I realized that I really like you, and it would be cool if I could go out with you sometime. Like, on a date, sort of thing.”
Dash sighed and looked down at her hooves. It had sounded so thoughtful and romantic all those times she'd rehearsed it in her head. But when she finally heard it said out loud, it just sounded blunt and simplistic. She didn’t know the right words to use like Twilight or Rarity always seemed to.
“Now I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Applejack closed her eyes and tilted her neck forward, pressing their foreheads together. “You’re the strongest pony I’ve ever met, and there’s nothin’ I’d like more than goin’ on a date with you.”
Dash didn’t respond. All she could think about was how easy it would have been to lean forward and find out what Applejack’s lips tasted like. And so she did.
Slowly at first, so slowly anypony watching wouldn’t have been able to tell that she was moving at all, she raised her head up, her eyes locked with Applejack’s. She kept going, waiting for Applejack to pull back, but she never did. When their lips finally touched, all Dash could think was how unbelievably soft Applejack felt.
Soon, she slowly pulled away again. She kept her eyes down, too scared to look up and see Applejack’s reaction. A hoof tucked under her chin and pulled her head up.
Applejack smiled. “I was wonderin’ when you were gonna get around to that.”
She leaned forward quickly, mashing her lips against Dash’s own in a sloppy, perfect kiss. Dash closed her eyes and melted into Applejack, breathing in deeply. She forgot everything around her except the smell of apples and the warmth passing between them.
When they pulled apart, Rainbow opened her eyes. She realized that she was standing in plain sight of an entire crowd of ponies. She quickly looked around. Most of them were too busy watching whatever was happening on stage, but more than a few were staring at her.
She ignored them, turning back to Applejack. “How long did you know?”
Applejack laughed. “For as long as you have, I reckon. You ain’t exactly the subtlest of ponies.”
Dash turned and scanned the crowd, looking for her friends. When she found them, they were looking back, but not nearly as surprised as she’d expected them to be. They all smiled and waved to her. Rarity was dabbing her eyes on a tissue and leaning against Pinkie Pie, who looked to be just on the verge of breaking into song.
“I guess everypony else knew too, huh?” Dash asked, turning back to Applejack. “Wait,” she stepped back, shaking her head, “if you knew, why didn’t you just tell me?”
Applejack looked down. “I’m so sorry, Rainbow. I wanted to. But I just hated the idea that you were too scared to tell me, and I wanted to show you somehow that you didn’t ever have to be scared of me.” Applejack lifted her head back up, frowning. “But no matter what I tried, you wouldn’t tell me on your own. So, I had to do something a little, uh, drastic.”
“A little drastic?” Dash repeated, biting back the anger that was threatening to rise into her voice. She’d been waiting for this for so long, she didn’t want to ruin it with another stupid fight. “Applejack, this was insane,” she said, waving her hoof through the air.
Applejack looked down again. “Well, it was Pinkie’s idea…”
Dash couldn’t help but smile a little at the revelation. “That explains a lot.”
“Yeah.” Applejack’s smile returned, and then fell away again almost immediately. “I’m sorry—”
Rainbow Dash threw herself forward without thinking. Applejack’s eyes widened, and then slowly closed again. Dash held on for as long she could, prolonging the embrace as long as possible. When she finally drew back, she could barely breathe, her hooves numb.
“Don’t you dare say sorry,” Dash said when she’d caught her breath, her voice nearly a whisper. “You’re right. I don’t think I ever would have told you if we hadn’t done this. Even if it was crazy, I had a lot of fun, and I really couldn’t be any happier than I am right now.”
Applejack opened her mouth for a moment before closing it again. She nodded, smiling.
Dash returned her smile. “I wasn’t scared, you know. I was just waiting.”
Applejack chuckled. “I know.”
__________________________________________________
“We have seen a lot of, uh, great performances today,” Mr. Gray called out, still sounding about as excited as a foal reading an instruction manual. Behind him stood three raised platforms of different heights, but Rainbow Dash only saw the tallest one. “Now it is time to announce the winners.”
The crowd had thinned out since she’d last looked. There were only about half as many ponies now. She hadn’t watched a single one of the teams that came after her. She had one wing draped over her newfound marefriend. She just wanted to make sure she was really there, that she hadn’t just imagined the whole thing again.
“Third place,” Mr. Gray read from one of those pieces of paper he always seemed to have with him, “goes to Miss, uh, Lyra and Miss Bon Bon.”
Cheers rippled up from the crowd as the two mares trotted up to the stage, all smiles. After Mr. Gray had given them their ribbons, Lyra leaned over and pecked her partner on the cheek. Dash smirked as Bon Bon’s face lit up bright red. If that’s what a third place kiss looked like, she couldn’t wait to find out what a first place kiss felt like.
“Second place goes to, uh…” Mr. Gray fumbled with the paper a bit, squinting down at it through his glasses, “Miss, uh, Applejack and Miss Rainbow Dash.”
“What?!” Dash fell back onto her haunches.
Applejack nudged her flank. “Come on, sugarcube. Don’t be a sore sport.” She sounded disappointed too, but the crowd still cheered.
“Fine,” Dash grumbled, standing up. But as she walked side-by-side with Applejack up onto the stage, she couldn’t shake the smile that spread out over her face.
Mr. Gray handed them their ribbons with as little fanfare as was possible. Standing on her platform, Dash looked down at her ribbon, ‘2nd Place' stamped proudly on its face for everypony to see. Suddenly, Applejack leaned over and closed their lips together in a brief, apple-flavored kiss before pulling away. Dash smiled. Maybe second place wasn’t so bad after all.
“But who could’ve beaten us?” Dash asked.
Applejack nuzzled her neck, causing Dash to blush. “Doesn’t matter.”
Dash broke away from the nuzzle when she saw Mr. Gray begin speaking again. “And now for the winner.” Dash leaned forward expectantly. “First place goes to Miss, uh…”
“Who?!” Dash shouted impatiently.
Mr. Gray jumped and shot her a glare before turning back to the crowd. “First place goes to Miss, uh, Derpy Hooves and her partner, a, uh, banana nut muffin.”
”What?!” Dash yelled for the second time that day, though it was less of a question this time.
Her outburst was lost in the wild cheering of the crowd as Derpy made her way up to the stage. It didn’t quiet down until after Derpy had received her ribbon, and Mr. Gray was left holding the final ribbon, the banana nut muffin that was to be its recipient nowhere to be seen.
“Eh, where’s the muffin?” he asked Derpy, who was busy “ooOOoo”ing at her ribbon.
“Oh,” she said, giggling, “I ate it!” Several ponies in the crowd gasped.
Dash’s legs went numb. “How did we lose to that?”
Applejack leaned over and kissed her neck, tickling right below her ear. “I told ya’ already. It doesn’t matter.”

Well well well. This story was good. I always love to read some good appledash and this is one of the storys that I will remember and read again after some time. It has everything what a good story need and you really wrote this very good.
I would like it to read some of your work with appledash or other parings. Gonna look for it in the future.
Good job, Equ-us. This was a fun, entertaining, well-written read with a funny, sweet story and a most entertaining ending. Thank you for the entertainment.
Awww, it's over now?
I. Love it so much
A very nice, fun story. Pinkies idea was a bit insane but then again...it worked
But...did i saw a bit of Raripie in this story?
wait what
count
DERPY won
I want a re
Well, I've utterly failed my oath to reply to every comment I receive on my fics to say thanks. Time to fix that now.
1905324>>1905333>>1909785>>1911979>>1912570>>1914363>>1909412>>1912040>>1913750
I really, really appreciate the kind words.
Thank you.
1905567>>1905484
I was so close to going back and rewriting the last part after reading these two comments. Part of the reason why it took so long to get out. I hope you weren't too disappointed with how it turned out. Though, you've budded some very interesting ideas on a possible continuation.
1905570
I know I thought of a certain grimdark fic when I wrote that...
1912072
Indeed, if anyone would enjoy it, it would be Dash. Or Pinkie.
1918489
Yeah, I'm not sure where the idea came from either. What would be the silliest, most ridiculous sport for ponies to compete in? It was either this or lacrosse.
1932233
AppleDash is one of my favorite ships, I would very much like to write more on the pairing eventually.
1933391
I might have snuck a tiny little snippet of RariPie in there somewhere. Because RariPie,I need no other explanation.
1933739
I know, right? I suspect that muffin was using performance enhancing drugs.
Am I the only one still wondering what Ditzy did with the muffin?!
i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/352/151/8de
1912269 Oh? Correcting allowed.. I'll do it later, be ready for the corrections.
static.fjcdn.com/pictures/Epic_8b7f13_335805.jpg
This was beautiful, Equ-us. Was gone a long while, and... this was just perfect to come back and read. Brilliant idea, uncommonly excellent execution. Just a pleasure to read.
Merry Christmas.
Amazing, simply amazing
This was an enjoyable read.
1934296
It's being worked on by top men. Top men.
1935680
Corrections are encouraged.
1936357
I'm glad you enjoyed it, I know it wasn't really what the prompt was asking for. I couldn't write comedy to save any of my cat's nine lives.
1946682>>1964439
Thank you very much.
1967570
I spy a Family Guy reference. Top. Men.
1971153
Indiana Jones, actually.
1972223
Well, Family Guy references everything and i never bothered with Indiana Jones, so... 8D they probably referenced Indiana Jones and I never got the reference.
Chapter 1: Well-done, breezy narrative.
Chapter 2: Glad to find out not everypony will be flinging knives at each other, which was giving me serious suspension-of-disbelief problems. Intriguing use of bondage concepts in a mainstream, non-freaky way.
Chatper 3: The story concept is great! AJ deliberately did all this as an object lesson in trust. Takes us thru a solid RD character arc. Tight, nothing extraneous, cute ending. Glad you brought Derpy back; I was going to ding you for having Derpy get emotional in the first scene and then not following up on that.
Commence read.
Knife throwing.Certainly an interesting mental image to see that process done without magic.
did the artwork just change? swear it was different last night when i read this.
2181655
Yeah, the original screenshot cover was pretty dull, so I swapped it with something more interesting.
Suddenly thinking of the throwing knives scene in Devil's Carnival. Something (that something being basic common sense) tells me this fic isn't going to be very similar.
"I ate it!" LOL. DERPY IS BEST KNIFE THROWER!!!!!!!!!!
I can only imagine how the conversation that started all this went...
I know I've been around the internet too much when I'm laughing at this.
Great story, by the way.
Deserves several moustaches.
I love it. This story made me realize that I need a friend like Applejack to save me. Keep up the good work :)
I loved it, this story was great, i just can't believe it took me so long to read it, its been on my read list for days.
anyway, as i said, it was a great story you kept me in suspense for the entire duration.
some of previous appledash fic's i have read always seem to have 1 death, AJ being the target :( so it was nice to have a good ending.
It's my favorite romance fanfiction
2199683
That is terrifically cheesy. 
2199730
Looks about right.
2201018
I'd be lying if I didn't say I chuckled when I first wrote that. The internet has permanently ruined that word.
2201605>>2208131
Thank you!
2204636
A little fluff every now and then is nice, right?
You go to hell, Applejack! I want to know how you lost to a Banana Nut Muffin!
EXPLAIN, FANFIC, EXPLAIN! /NostalgiaCritic
Amazing work! It was the first appledash fanfic I've read.
This was INSANE! and yet it makes sense. Congradulations on a job well done. The only thing I would say that needs work is the ending. It's a little to sudden and takes away from the warm feeling just a bit. Maybe add just a lil bit more of fluff to make it coozy. plus I am curious as to how you lose to a banana nut muffin.
Ah, took me a while to comment on this. Read it for the contest, enjoyed it massively. The topic itself is a bit odd, i guess, but it does fit their characters quite well. Forming that bond of trust in the only way Dash would understand - right in her face. Loved it
I loved this. Applejack as a rodeo pony has always fascinated me, with what all she can do in that situation. And the way she uses knives to build trust was both ridiculous and entirely AppleDash. This was a delightful read.
Also:Bonus points for RariPie? Is that a thing I can do? Because that was goddamned cute, yo.
This was such a delightful, extraordinary read. The plot definitely fascinated me, and I cringed a few times before Applejack threw the knives, I admit.
I also loved the humor and of course, the AppleDash 
Thank you so much for an amazing read! Read this all in one sitting. I'm glad I did!
Also for throwing RariPie in there, I love you and your amazing brain that much more.
Ok.
I can't give a clear review of this chapeter.
10/10 Photo Finish's Purrfection
That was a nice little story. Well done, and just as long as it needed to be (although I definitely could have read more). Good work c:
AJ would be so badass throwing knives like that.
1967570
like 12 times ive read this story.
fucking love it.
Awesome :) supper fun to read. Great ending. You rock :)
I can't believe I didn't comment on this the first time I read it but anywho I would like to thank you for this awesome story. This us actually the first fic I ever read and I just wanted to relive the awesomeness. I found it by complete accident a while ago when I had just started getting into this fandom. I was actually googling for throwing knives (which I enjoy playing with) and this popped up and something compelled me to give it a shot. Super awesome job
P.S. This story gives me chills
Oh hey, I forgot to give this story a thumbs up after I read it.
Fixed that. Now to re-read.
Oh boy did I wait so long to find another great AppleDash fic
A very well-written story indeed, loved Dash's cute stubbornness and the tremendous confidence between the two lovebirds
I'm glad you recognize the inherent absurdity of this story; that explains an awful lot about why you wrote it. <.< It's not bad at all, though it did reaffirm my not being into AppleDash, so... thanks? :B
THE MUFFIN
This was adorablesss...!!
hnnng too cute for me... /explodes
It might be absurd, but it sure as hell was fun...! I had a good laugh several times and I really liked the concept of not Rainbow being the one to do the first step and trying to win AJ over, but the other way around. That's something you don't get to read often...
A knife-throwing contest... I should've actually expected this to be one of Pinkies ideas...
Thank you.
Well that was fun
So. When is Derpy MuffinDevourer, legendary knife assassin getting published?
Because nothing can beat the Derpy and her muffins!
Have I mentioned that I really like this story?
Because I really like this story.
I reviewed this story in "Recommended Story Reviews #7".
