(Sorry for the dull, non-unique title. I could not figure anything else.)

This is a some sort of sequel for my previous story: Fluttershy... In a bar? You should check it out!

Its been one week after Applejack found out that his brother was dating somepony from the town. Big Mac was too stubborn to tell her who it was, so she decided to find that mysterious filly herself. Rainbow Dash drops by the farm, and Applejack soon finds out to be accompanied by her rainbow-maned friend.

I decided to make a shipping of every pony from the mane-six, one by one. (or in this case, two at the same time :3)

Following the Cutie Map, Applejack and Rainbow Dash head off to Whinnypeg to find a friendship problem somewhere in the convention center. A con is poised to start when they arrive and they check-in as attendees, ready to search high and low among the staff and the con-goers for whoever needed their help. The only real problem is that the con is a couples retreat, everypony is flashing Applejack and Rainbow Dash knowing looks, and the two of them aren’t together like that.

At least, they haven’t been together like that since they were teenagers …

A novella told in three parts.

Editing by JetstreamGW and bookplayer. Cover art by mousse.

It's been four years since the girls graduated from high school. They're still as close as ever, which is why Pinkie Pie decided to throw a party to celebrate the disastrous end of Rainbow Dash's long-term romantic relationship.

But Applejack isn't quite feeling a party right now. Instead, she finds her way outside to stare at the lake and reminisce. When Rainbow follows her out, what comes next is a conversation that might just change both of their lives forever.

(Note, because there was some light confusion from some readers. All alcohol consumption in this story is done by ADULT characters. NO UNDERAGE DRINKING, PEOPLE!)

In Sweet Apple Acres, Apple Bloom finds a book that claims it will help guide her to form a perfect AppleDash pairing. Along with her fellow crusaders, Apple Bloom tries to follow the steps the book gives as best she can, but soon finds it much harder than she thought.

Years after the end of the show, Rainbow Dash has found herself exactly where she wants to be. She's married to one of her closest friends, she has her dream job, and everything is perfect in more ways than one. With gifts so great, how could she ever complain?

Except there's one issue: things are different, and they may never be the same. Rainbow Dash has become unrecognizable to herself and almost none of her friends are around to help. Unequipped to deal with what she once wanted, she seeks guidance. Surely someone knows the answer, right?

An entry into the My Little Pony Renaissance Contest.

Rainbow Dash has always dreamed of being a wonderbolt— that's all she ever wanted. Ever since she was a little filly she could have never imagined a future without the wonderbolts.

So what happens when she gets fired from the only future she sees with absolutely no way of returning? What happens when she still can't see her future any less than being a wonderbolt the rest of her life?

Simple, it crumbles down.

And Applejack is determined to fix it.

P. S. The "Dream" here is not the "Dream" you have when you sleep.

Also, I felt compelled to write this because as a frequent visitor of the Appledash group, I noticed that the number of stories (631 by the time I'm writing this) have not gone up in awhile. So I wanted to contribute my fair share because to at the very least bump the number up.

This story is a sequel to Companion

Longdesc

A lot has changed in the years since Twilight Sparkle left Ponyville to become the ruler of Equestria. Weddings and breakups and newborns and fashion empires and becoming leader of the Wonderbolts.

But Applejack is still where she has always been. At the edge of Sweet Apple Acres, resting against the dry stump of a long-dead tree, watching the sun set on the horizon after yet another day of honest work. Watching the years tick on by. Not getting any younger.

Today, Rainbow Dash is there, too. She isn't getting any younger, either.

Continuity

A partner piece to Companion, which expands on the future of the RariTwi relationship mentioned here, though that relationship is quite unhealthy.

Author's Note

Not only am I a 100% Rarity simp as my current bio indicates, but I also am a total simp and cuck for the RariJack ship. Yet older AppleDash is canon, thus I must bow to its reality. Both Companion and this story are my way of resolving this, though this story is the much happier half.

Thanks to Decaf for prereading the first draft!

When Rarity finds out that her dress got the biggest article in a fashion magazine, she decides to hold a party with her friends. But when the party gets off, she decides to introduce a new type of drink that she was sent as a gift.

-Another Weaver inspired fic!

Applejack feels as if she is worthless until her rainbow maned friend comes along.

But to Applejack's surprise, she discovers secrets that Rainbow has been hiding from her.

Yeah…this is my first fanfic…

Strange discoveries. Mysterious twitching. The curious feeling of being watched. And a sudden urge to sing. Something's happening to Applejack, and no matter how often she laughs, this is no laughing matter!
