Back then, nopony suspected a thing, which is precisely the way Rainbow Dash wanted it. Days went by as they normally did, with Rainbow Dash doing things as awesomely as usual. Everypony chalked up her enthusiasm and love of life to the simple guile of a pegasus.

The fact is, Rainbow ran on something else, a sort of fuel that transcended normal thoughts and feelings. It's the sort of thing that most ponies experience in their teenage years. I know I dealt with it a few times, but they were almost always fleeting moments for me--as they're quick and silly experiences for everypony... or at least everypony.

You see, crushes don't last forever. At least, they're not supposed to. Like brilliant comets, all of the excitement and the enthusiasm and the mischievous spirit of heart-warming danger are all too quickly extinguished with the passing of time. This is just a normal thing, something we all experience when growing up.

But Rainbow Dash was different. She grew into it. And, with time, she would find that such a desire, such a hope, such an amorous obsession would be the one thing keeping her ticking.

It was a timely phenomenon too, for in the days to come, Rainbow Dash needed a well of joy more than anything.

Quite frankly, as much as everypony believed in her, I'm personally surprised she survived....

Ooh, dramatic setup. So glad I waited till this had a nice heap of chapters before digging into it properly.

Onward!

This could almost read like a eulogy if you squint at it...

So this is basically How I Met Your Mother, but with ponies. I like it.

Fluttershy would probably be the best Eulogist for RD and this chapter sounds akin the the way she talks albeit with a bit more confidence.

Oh noes

... Although the "she survived" line in the end there hopefully contradicts that possiblity.
