The island of Equestria has appeared in the Pacific Ocean. After talks between both governments, humans and ponies have agreed to allow a cultural exchange between the two.
On the maiden flight from Hawaii to Equestria on Equestrian Airways Flight 9, people get the chance to talk to ponies in-person, but there is one woman who fears them. It becomes the mission of two caring passengers to find out why this woman booked a flight to Equestria when she's so afraid of ponies. And why is she so interested in Applejack and Rainbow Dash?

Awww thank you so much for your kind comment! *super hug* I am trying SOOOO hard to get into that feature box! I have written 43,000 words over 9 stories in the past 7 days just trying to make an impact on this site.
And I can see I'm finally starting to. <3 Thank you :)

No, seriously. You do.

Also, that´s a lot of words. I´m super bad at writing, I can barely go past a thousand.
Nice one shot! Also, me being the uber airline nerd I am, that looks to me like a Boeing 737-800 or 900 with the old American Airlines paint scheme. Great story though. My apologies to going full nerd

Thank you so much for the compliment! And I was trying so hard to get a plane that would match the story, and then I saw THAT picture, and it looked so delicious that I had to use it! :D
Thank you again! There is nothing wrong with going full nerd :P
I figured out what was happening as soon as the topic of her and Dashies mother fighting off darkness came up. Then I realized "Huh... wait is he seriously going that far back to older generations for a story? That's pretty awesome!" Very nicely done mate!

Thank you! I'm glad it took that long for you to figure it out. That's the reason I used her last name "Williams," which even I didn't know about until I looked it up.
Thank you for the compliments! I'm really proud of this story. <3 I wanted it to be a melding of two generations in a way that put equal value on both and showed how interacted they really are, while celebrating those connections in a beautiful way. I'm happy it worked :)
I may have teared up a little. That was touching.
Sweet, touching, funny. This is a good story, and a rare treasure indeed!
I like how you used the previous generation here: truly artful.
This gets put in the Other Goodies shelf. Good work!

I made someone CRY! A little! YES! *hugs lots*

Thank you so much for the kind compliments! I'm happy to hear the story really moved you :)
I'm so happy to see the positive response this story has received. Makes me glad I persevered and made it all the way to the end! This was a tough story to write. Had a very hard beginning to get through as a writer, but I said "No, I'm gonna finish this" and once I added the key female protagonist, then everything fell into place. :)
Thanks again!

No problem! You did good.
Rainbow's mother's name is Windy Whistles. Not Firefly. Just letting you know.

Well...it is now. Lol
But this is an alternate timeline :P
This is the first story on FiMFiction that I have found from searching. And today I came back to offer an upvote it has always deserved.

Thank you so much for your kind words and your support!
I remember how exciting it was to finish this story in one long writing session. How it catered to a fantasy of finding a wonderful place waiting at the end of a plane flight and heck, even the fun that could happen in-flight. The characters stick with me even after all these years.
Thank you <3 Always remember your kind words can change someone's day, or life, for the better :)
