You are my best friends.

You know that right?

Because if there's one thing you must know.....I HATE THIS FAN FICTION, IT IS A HUGE STINKING PILE OF PONY PLOP! *ahem* sorry I will try to keep my emotions in check for this review. So for those of you who are not aware Never Stop Smiling is a sad fic that has a simple concept, Rainbow Dash writing a letter, that will try every trick in the book to make you cry. Im not sure how popular this fic is but Ive braised myself for the hate mail.

So our delightful romp into the realm of sappiness begins with Rainbow Dash, like I stated before, writing a letter. This part goes on for some time and I wonder when the writers stop stating the obvious that Pinkie is nice and wants to make others happy. We then discover that at some point in time Dash was rejected from joining the Wonderbolts, and then emerges one of the major gripes I have with this story. Considering this fic was written before season 2 aired I will only take the first one into account. So tell me writers of this story tell me why would she be rejected if she can preform the Sonic Rainboom and the tiny, insignificant fact that SHE SAVED YOUR LIVES!

Why yes, in the episode Sonic Rainboom if it wasn't for Rainbow Dash all of the Wonderbolts would be nothing but splatters on the grass under Cloudsdale, Im not sure how recruiting works for that organization but Im sure that would play a large part in Dash's recruitment. Now that we have disregarded logic we may continue. Pinkie Pie through her insane powers finds out of her friends troubles and tries to comfort her friend. She continues to help Dash cope with her crushed dreams and finally tells Dash to never stop smiling (Insert Peter Griffin saying "haha, he said it" here). That phrase seems the be the magical mystery cure and Rainbow instantly begins to feel better, oh but it only gets better from here right?........No, it doesn't.

So what else can we throw into the mix here, wait I know an incredibly forced romance between Dash and Pinkie, I am not kidding. Perhaps I would enjoy this story more if this crap wasn't thrown into the mix, I mean it this comes out of nowhere, in the story it says, "You kissed me." and now we enter somebodies shipping fantasy.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now with barley any prompting Dash now says she loves Pinkie and the two end up sleeping together............EEEEEWWWWW! However not all is well as Dash discovers as Pinkie died in her sleep of a disease she probably could have cured with some form of magic. Next we get hit with a touching scene....how do they screw it up? MORE SHIPPING, BECAUSE THATS WHAT THE STORY NEEDED ISNT IT?!?!?! *whew* don't worry, you can do this....... while Twilight goes back to Canterlot to make the magics Rarity and Fluttershy apparently got together and will be married soon, what is the point of that you may ask well I can tell you right now that this bit of info is completely useless.

Who hasnt been thrown into the shipping ring yet hmm......a background pony perhaps........I got it, Lyra! Actually its Applejack on the chopping block next and Rainbow recounts finding her crying under a tree after Pinkies death and the two form a romantic relationship and get married.....*sigh* and for the icing on top of this pile of crap how about further derailing Rainbows character by making her want kids and be a stay at home mom, she ends the letter with saying she'll love Pinkie forever and blah blah blah, the end...............WHAT!?!?!? RAINBOW DASH WANTING KIDS, BEING A STAY AT HOME MOM, MARRYING APPLEJACK!!!!! This fic could have been good it honestly could have but it it is an emotional ploy around shipping ideas that should not have been there in the first place. Not only is its plot riddled with holes, not only is Rainbow out of character, but its just AAAAAHHHH.

Ok if you like this story good for you but its just not my cup of tea, now if you excuse me Ive got to go and prepare myself for the hate mail that may start coming at me

BOMBS AWAY!
