After several years together, Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara opt for a vacation in Silver Cove to take a beach-side break from the day to day grind and hopefully rekindle some of their original spark.
That was the plan anyway, but plans don't always work out. The best you can do is to salvage a bad situation and wash the tree sap out of your mane.

I'm glad you were able to get this out in time. You definitely deserve a nice, long rest after your hard work.

Looking forward to entertaining everyone with it.
Okay, that was a lot of good cute. Would not at all mind seeing more of this iteration of the
triopair, or even a little more of the rest of the CMC/SilverJust two comments, not counting yours? Let's fix that.
This story is decent. The entire place in the story felt like a living place with actual, living beings and a spirit of its own that sets it apart from the usual canon locations like Canterlot and Ponyville.
For the character development, Applebloom slowly coming out of her shell over the course of the story to embrace the slightly wilder ideas of fun while staying safe flowed naturally, with mistakes anyone could have made. Plus, she and Diamond Tiara made a new friend at the end, which was a nice bonus.
Will be recommending this to another friend who ships DiamondBloom.

It is nice to get things like thumbs up and "I liked this" type comments. More when the reader takes the time to explain why. Thank you for that.
Even better is when someone enjoys my story enough to tell their friend about it. That is my main goal. A lot of people try to post at certain times of day, use staggered release schedules, clickbait titles or descriptions, or spam groups and such to try to get as many eyeballs as possible. Often by means of tricking people into thinking they'll get something entertaining. My goal is to write something the best I can, and if that turns out entertaining enough for someone like you to tell their friends about it, that is my measure of success. That is more important to me than getting into the feature box, some like:dislike ratio, or so on.
Made my day.
Sister issues?
Also some well timed cute moments that made me giggle. A bit sadden no one’s commented on the story, I guess I’ll have to read the rest tomorrow to find out how the rest of this goes. 6:10AM sadly for this creature of the night. x_x
No one posted a comment here

Thank you for your concern.

just finished this so good, will you be writing a new chapter?

This story is currently complete. I am working on some of the stories that precede it, such as their get together story. The most I'll do with this story is edit a few details to avoid plot holes created and/or better fit in line with those prequels. If I do make changes like that, I'll write a blog explaining what I did for those of you who have already read it in case any of you don't feel like reading the whole thing just to see a few minor details changed.
If I do write material that goes past the end of this story, it'll be in the form of a sequel. I don't have current plans to do so, but I am not opposed to telling more stories set after this down the road.
Thank you for that info, hope you have a good day.
Hmmm... an interesting concept, ponies with a sun tan. I like it.
This is a pretty good story. i'm actually surprised it doesn't have more views.
One question though, why make them blond? It didn't realy bring anything to the story. It was kinda like "hey they're blond now deal with it"

It was due to the bleaching of their hair. Bleached blondes.

I understand that they bleached thier hair, I just don't understand how that was important to the story.
It did make for a pretty sweet title though.

Ah. There are some subtle things going on.
In this story, I'm emphasizing the image-conscious part of Apple Bloom's character as we saw in episodes like Bad Seed (she spent overly long picking an outfit to make a good first impression on her cousin).
Apple Bloom got a bit tanned while in the sun. This distressed her. Especially the attention she feared it would attract to her backside. Diamond Tiara tried to help fix this using hair (fur?) bleach to eliminate the tan lines. Due to an accidental spill, they ended up needing to bleach her mane and tail.
Diamond Tiara bleached her own in solidarity with her girlfriend.
The rest of the story explores other parts of their relationship, but the general feel is "we're in disguise in an unfamiliar place let's be adventurous." The bleached hair contributes to the sense of "no one will recognize us."
Does that help clarify?

Yeah, yeah I got all that, it's just that you set everything up so well in the first chapter that I was like - oooh this is going to be important later on, but then it kinda just lost momentum and became un-important..... so I thought maybe there was something I was missing, you know some deeper message that maybe I missed.... but I guess not.
This was interesting to read. It isn't every day on fimfiction that a story showcases a nature relationship instead of a get-together story. I really enjoyed seeing older characters in an established romance handle more mature challenges like this. The banter was pretty fun and the original setting really added to this story. Seeing DT and AB work out their relationship issues maturely and consider the option of non-monogamy (or at least they have some poly vibes?) was an unexpected highlight too. I'm glad they could come to a satisfying conclusion.
