Long journeys to destinations full of happy memories are not always as enjoyable as they should be. But Sunset and Rainbow have weathered the good and the bad on road trips and in life.

My entry to the Sunset Shipping contest "Journeys"

What do we truly fear in death? Can an ageless alicorn keep a promise to her beloved?

Can she remember who Rainbow Dash was?

For the past four months, Fluttershy had been keeping two secrets from her friends. One of which being that she now has a night job at a small, strange, gothic bar known as the Poison Apple. The other being that she is still part vampire fruit bat, hence why she has the job in the first place. Now with her friends showing up, an entire evening will change everything. Especially with her feelings for Rainbow Dash.
