The OP that inspired me:
    >It took a drunk old mare to tell you the truth about Dash
    >She isn't pretty
    >Not to a pony at least
    >Her mane, her snout, her hooves, the shape of her wings
    >A dozen little irks and quirks that made her too homely to get past the friendzone with any colt
    >They always figured that's why she was trying so hard to be your 'bro'
    >She could never do better than another ugly monster
 
Here is what I made of it.
 
>It's been almost 2 whole years.
>The life you left behind is almost completely forgotten.
>You wonder about all the-
>Bump
>"Oh hey Anon, what's going on?"
"Hey Dash, up early today?"
>Well.
>Early for HER at least. It's like only fucking 10.
>"Yeah, I wanted to ask if you wanted to come with me to the new Daring Do release!"
"That's happening today  I'm guessing."
>Shouldn't that shit come out in two days?
>It's fucking SunButtday. Shit comes out on Tuesdays for some fucking reason.
>"It's at midnight, on Tuesday."
>Called it.
"Isn't it going to be in Canterlot?"
>That big-ass bookstore always does the releases.
>At least you could get some new books when you arrive.
>You've been meaning to get around to doing so, you just don't get to Canterlot often enough.
>"Is that a problem? I thought you had Tuesday off this week..."
>Wow, she looks like her parents were just murdered and she just recalled the day she was told.
"I do, but-"
>Fuck, if you say no.
>She might not be able to take that shit.
>"If it's a place to stay it's alright. I have a room booked for 2."
>Is she serious with you right now?
>This is almost weird.
>"Twilight was going to come along, but she had some 'princess' stuff to do."
>Why would Princess Books not go get some new... Books.
>Fucking princess shit.
>Only if you had some surefire way to dodge ponies sometimes.
 
"I'm gonna see how I feel, I might be catching something. Come back over around 6."
>"Oh? I hope you feel better, I'll let you be. I'll see you later tonight."
>You don't like lying to her, but you did cough once maybe.
>Only if life was that easy.
>You shrug it off while walking to the Treebary.
>Wait. That's gone now.
>Fucking magic and shit man.
>Castle.
>That thing is really out of place.
>At least it's now a fancier library.
>Books not going to get a book?
>This you had to fucking see.
>Knocking sounds
>"Oh hey Anon. what brings you over here?"
"Just coming by to talk, what's new?"
>"Come on in, have a seat. You would not believe what I have to do."
>Here comes those duties.
>You should get her a copy, presents are always a nice gesture.
>"You know the new DD book that's coming out?"
>Seems like she is serious about this.
>Why are you even here, it's not like Rainbro lies to you anyway.
>Shit you've lied to her quite a bit actually.
>She only called you on your shit twice.
>Fuck yeah.
>Top level ruses you've pulled on all the ponyfolk here.
>Apparently lying isn't too big a thing here.
"Yeah, Rains told me about it on my way here."
>"I'm glad sheee gets to go, but it's not fair."
>"She asked me to watch Tank because he's a bit sick and Fluttershy is is out of town."
 
>OH FUCK
>DEFCON 1
>MISSLES
>MORE MISSLES
>ALL THE MISSLES
>Is Dash trying to ask you on a date?
>Without being obvious as fuck about it?
>Wow.
>This is pretty fucking out there.
>It's not like anything with a dick wouldn't like to rail that.
>At least you might be able to get some pone-booty
>It's not like you haven't been porking some tail from time to time.
>"Yeah, but I just had to let her go. If I went I'd feel too bad about it, you know?"
>Mainly because you're a tad strange.
>A social status is all it really is.
>Wait.
>Purples said something.
>Respond.sh
"Yeah, being the princess of books and all. You have an image to upkeep."
>She has a giggle.
>It was rather cute.
>Almost all the things that happen around here are adorable as shit.
>"Well, don't put me on a pedestal or anything."
>Implying
"You can magics and stuff. PLUS FLYING. That's impressive."
>Shit, magic wasn't even a thing back home.
>Other than movies, games and books.
>Never forget books.
>"Oh ha ha ha Anon."
>"So why'd you come on over again?"
>Only if Butterstick was here.
>Rains could be behind that one too.
>Wait.
>She's out because reasons.
>Important ones at that, you were there.
"Just to say I'm going up with Rainbow, and I was getting you a signed copy."
