The girls are going to Cadance's beach house for the weekend. Being private property away from prying eyes, Rarity suggested a shopping trip for two-pieces. The girls agreed as it sounds fun... Everyone except for Twilight. In the wake of her and Rainbow's breakup, the prospect of being surrounded by her hot friends in minimalist clothing spikes the teenage lesbian's anxieties through the roof.
Meanwhile, Sunset continues to struggle with her body image issues as a horse-turned-human, and turns to Rarity for support. Unfortunately for Twilight, this means she has to turn elsewhere when things get too hectic. Luckily, Fluttershy is there to step in where needed... if only she actually knew what the problem was. This weekend, though, secrets will be revealed and some things will finally start to make sense.

Rated T for awkward teenage sexuality, profanity, underage drinking, and copious amounts of sand.
Contains no explicit sexual activity, no underage sexual activity, and no graphically described nudity.
AU within my EqG continuity after Milkshake and branching before the events of TFW You Find Your Crush's Nudes.
No cover art because I can't find a single piece of fanart of the main cast in bikinis that isn't lewd, garbage, deviantart trash, or swimsuits from the Forgotten Friendship special which all don't work here.
Always a nice surprise to get a new story from you; this is no exception.
I feel like you're going a little far to be completely PC for this story. Twilight went back and forth on all her gay issues so many times I felt myself wishing someone would just go, "oh my God, would someone just screw her already so she can get over this." Mind you this isn't necessarily a bad thing. I firmly believe that any story that manages to invoke an emotional reaction must be doing something right. You are doing a good job handling relevant and sensitive issues in a gentle and even way, but I personally thought you managed to handle it well enough to proceed in the first chapter. Let's get to the dramatically comical slice of life stuff already.

This poor Twilight... I'd say she needs a hug, but that demonstrably isn't quote enough. At least it helped.
Also, it is weird reading a story that straddles multiple closely related timelines. Of course, I'm also bouncing around the chronology of all of them, so that isn't helping either. I'll be sure to keep an eye on this one.
