Pinkie Pie is battling with depression and self-doubt, despite being outgoing and energetic in public. At home, even getting out of bed can be a massive hurdle. A simple photo and phone call from a friend changes her outlook, providing the motivation she needs to keep going.

Rainbow Dash can outrun just about everything in Equestria--everything, it seems, except apathy. The mundanity of her job drives her further out of her mind each day. None of yesterday's comforts can soothe her. Even fighting off monsters feels routine.

When Rarity mentions plans for a tropical vacation, Dash sees green (and blue, and whatever sandy color the island is), and sparks a plan. What kind of friend wouldn't accompany Rarity to a remote tropical island for a long weekend of fun?

What kind of friend indeed.

When Rainbow Dash rushes into the library and asks Twilight to cure her, the new alicorn doesn't realize exactly what this is all about.
But as the situation becomes clearer, she understands that her friend isn't ill, but could need some advices and even to learn a new thing or two.

However, the more the two mares discuss Rainbow Dash's problem, the less easy it is to know which mare is learning from the other, what the lesson taught is and, in the end, if anything has been learned at all.

A little story without much ambition but multiples little subjects and the will to discuss what it means to understand something or to learn something.

Hopes. Dreams. Aspirations. They're what everyone survives, and even thrives, on. What happens, then, when hopes and dreams are dashed? When something so monumentally destructive and life-changing occurs, and dreams, hopes, even ponies' lives are thrown into turmoil, where can solace be found? When somepony's entire world comes crumbling around them, who can they turn to for support? What can they do when everything they once had is shattered?

After staying away from her friends for years, Fluttershy is stunned to discover Rainbow Dash on her doorstep looking injured and asking for sanctuary in her escape from someone she won't name.

Full cast audio reading with special word from the author can be found on my YouTube channel here, starring TheLostNarrator, Illya Leonov and Starryflame.

It may take a while for them to grow, but it only takes a instant to fall in love.

You fell out with the pony you love and you want to prove that you still love her, despite knowing she might not be willing to listen. However, stubborn versus overly stubborn sometimes opens the ears and makes one listen.

Hopefully, you, Rainbow Dash, will be able to make Applejack listen.

Rainbow Dash holds her child, and thinks about the future.

Sometimes, Rarity loves Rainbow Dash; other times, she is incredibly frustrating. Not that Rarity would ever admit any of this, of course. After all, how could a tomboyish athlete love a frou-frou seamstress?

Cute RariDash for the bestest person, Fourths.
