This was nice. Leave it to Twilight to ruin her own dreams with logical thought.
And the ending was a nice way to cap it off.
O-o what have I done?
In an odd display of a relevant post, Not Creeper has decided that he rather enjoyed this story. Bravo.
The writing style really fits the story, it actually felt like a dream. Basically it was the good opposite of a badly written silly story with an "oh it was all a dream" ending.
Very nice and cute
Worthy of 6/5
Vimbert the Unimpressive you should change your name to Vimbert the Impressive
Good story but...
That pic is horrible Twilights cutie mark is way too big her mane is just wrong the art style is annoying her eyes are totally a different from the other her and her face is also hard to look at then the socks are obnoxious in this shot.
But,
I really liked the story
Dang, this kinda relates to me in this very moment. My family and I are in NYC(were at the hotel now) and I'm just taking pictures of everything and the line that was like "you'll remember the pictures not the memorys" or whatever really spoke to me, I won't take half as many pictures now
Most interesting. I almost quit when things stopped making sense, but that little voice in my head said "just enjoy it- analyze and criticize later when you've got all the facts." And then it turns out that's more or less the story's point... heh. 5 stars for making me teach myself a lesson.
I love you guys too, so I created a place for all of us to love eachother and leave these poor authors alone.

This story is really good :)
@C. Theron Vulpin
This... I've nothing to add so just this.
I love how misnamed the author is. This is really impressive!
@Acriaos
I'm glad to hear it. More than anything, I wanted to avoid that feel to the story.
I seem to have succeeded.
@Sethisto
OH U
(apologies for double post)
As a general response, I'm glad the message has touched so many people. I always worry when I try to put a little deeper meaning into something that it won't resonate with folks, and the response will be along the lines of "lolwut". I'm a bit new to fanfiction, so I'm glad this went over well.
And, ah... there's a reason for my nickname. I try to maintain a bit of humility. Nearly every time I've felt completely confident in any of my writing, it's been reviled. So, the secret to my success is to write something I'm almost, but not quite satisfied with. If I don't feel like a hack, I know I've done something wrong.
@Vimbert the Unimpressive
You did great. I really, really, liked this. Congratulations, you've done something in a few pages using the premise of an animated kids cartoon about magic ponies that most authors can't manage to do in hundreds of pages of a book.
You made me, and other readers no doubt, look up from reading, look out my window, and feel a little inspired to better myself.
Thats something I WISH so very, VERY, much, I could do. Really, thanks a lot Brony.
Story was short, simpe, and so very sweet. Twilight being my favorite character might have helped a little, but all the same, I can't wait for something new from you!
Holy shit, I'm the above anon again. You also wrote Fire and Rain.
If I ever meet you, you aren't paying for a single drink that night.
Go. Fly. Be swift. Write more. its your job now.
Whether its the title or content, the story reminds me of the Foo Fighters song of the same name.
@Venddorfish
The song was a partial inspiration.
Fantastic.
Also, Starálfur by Sigur Rós was playing while I read it, and it fit so perfectly I couldn't help but smile.
Vim, you're awesome.
