Although Rainbow Dash agrees to play along, she obviously doesn't take her seriously... but as the day goes by, the true meaning of Pinkie's warning becomes clear.

      This story actually brought tears to my eyes. Very well written, incredibly cute and the moral wasn't too obvious from the very start.
      In short, I really enjoyed this. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

      'Twas just a flesh wound!

      I found myself skipping through most of the story, which would make me believe that the story was very shallow, but Pinkie Cry had me on the verge of tears. I'm really not sure about the story, but I know that I didn't not like it.

      I was ALMOST about to cry. It didn't help that I was listening to "Lets play Pretend" by Lights. XD Cute, has a great moral, and the shipping part is so small its almost unnoticeable, for those who don't like PinkieDash.

      THESE are the kind of stories we need to see on EqD more often. Sure it's short and simple, but so very powerful in its own right.

      Thank you for a fantastic read, AbsoluteAnonymous!

      Makes perfect sense for the most childish pony to be terrified of growing up. It is, after all, scary stuff, but with the right friends you don´t really have to.

      The ending was suprisingly relatable and I chuckled a couple of times (and got reminded to finish portal 2)very nice story.

      :(
      and a lot of Pinkie's dialogue near the end seemed to be allegory for that, two hooves up

      Despite numerous grammatical and mechanical errors, I liked this, AA.

      Sounds like something Pinkie would do, and while I don't like shipping as a general rule, friend shipping is a fine thing, indeed.

      Really pulled this off. Good job. Never grow up.

      Wow. That was a really powerful story. I cried a little when Pinkie was talking about how she didn't want to grow up. I don't know why, but it reminded me of the last strip of Calvin and Hobbes. So sad, yet so happy at the same time.

      A short, cute story with a powerful meaning behind it? Blasphemy!

      I actually laughed at Pinkie's letter - guess it was one of those "so dumb it's funny" moments. Anyway... my reactions are identical to the review that was posted above so let me just say: my heart exploded twice reading this. Excellent job, and take my five stars!

      Fun read. I liked the reveal. Still, I can't help but feel the ending could have been more. It was good, certainly, but it still feels as if the real treasure lies just a little deeper, if you know what I mean.

      So that last line... yeah, that was pretty damn near the best possible way to end that story. alright, this gets a 5 star rating. Was it the most well written? no. Was is astoundingly long with superb plot and character development. nope. grammatical errors and typo's? yep.

      But did it deliver a moral and message that perfectly fit the spirit of the show, Pinkie's character, all while being a touching life lesson? will I walk away from reading this with a slightly changed perspective on life?

      Oh yeah. Kudos author. this was a sweet little story.

      What Risky said.


      This story, while flawed and not a "masterpiece", did what it set out to do. It delivered a happy, fun message well in line with the tone of the show and was enjoyable read despite its problems; and should be towards the top of the list for people looking for Episode-like stories.


      5/5.
