Rainbow Dash lives an exciting life and is swiftly becoming the most daring, awesome pegasus in all of Equestria. She would gladly give it all up, though, just to confess her love to Applejack.
Caramel entered the bar just as the sun was setting. Twangy guitar music wafted out of the juke box as he sauntered past the electric light.
"How ya doin', Caramel?" asked the bartender.
Caramel smiled, brushing his silken mane back. "Just wonderfully, Sam."
"You know, my name's not Sam either."
"Say..." Caramel fidgeted. "Is anyone... uhm...?" He pointed at the juke box.
"Heh. That thing's been untouched all day. It's all yours, girl."
"Eheheh... thanks!" Caramel dashed over to the machine. He slipped in a bit, switched records, and waited for the speakers to crackle a beloved pop tune. "Heeeee..." The tips of his ears fluttered happily. "Oh Canter Lauper... you never cease to enchant me."
"It's Tuesday. Shall I make the usual?"
"Er... n-no, actually!" Caramel smiled as he shuffled across the bar. "I have a vacation coming up! So I'm in a good mood! I'm game for something wild! Something... crazy!"
"Pineapple flavored, then?"
"I didn't say that!" Caramel pouted. After a few seconds, his tail drooped. "But... uhm... y-yes please... if you d-don't mind, that is."
"Heheh... coming right up."
"Thanks, Sam." Caramel's eyes settled upon two figures at the booth. His lips pursed curiously as his soft ears caught an ongoing conversation.
"And... I'm happy for her. I am happy for her. But..." Rainbow Dash grumbled into her third empty glass. She turned it around and around in two anxious hooves. "...it doesn't make it suck any less to let her go!"
"But you... are letting her go, right?" Vinyl Scratch murmured.
"Pffft. What do you think I'm here for?" Rainbow grumbled. "To work on my dance moves?"
"Well, Caramel did just subject us to Canter Lauper... again." Vinyl looked over, sighing through a tired smile. "Hey, girl."
"Hiya!" Caramel dropped his saddlebag and slid in next to Vinyl. "Boy, is this week great or what?!"
"Mehhhh..." Rainbow's head hung.
"Ahem..." Vinyl glanced over. "Dare to elaborate?"
"A vacation's coming up. I'm about to drink pineapple." Caramel smiled until his dimples nearly burst. "And... and I think I just got the letter."
"Hmmm?" Vinyl blinked behind her shades. "What letter?"
"You knowwwwww..." Vinyl leaned in, whispering. "The letter."
A pause. Then Vinyl reeled. "Ohhhhhhhh..." She tilted her head aside. "Really?"
"Eeheehee!" Caramel reached into his bag and pulled out a thick white envelope. "It's the same size as the last one! I-I think I'm actually making progress here!"
"Well, what are you waiting for!"
"Pffft! Seriously? Here? In this place?" Caramel rolled his eyes. "I'm afraid I'd make all the windows shatter from squealing with glee." He winked. "I'm waiting until the vacation is in full force so I can celebrate with zeal."
"You... uh... you might wanna open it now, Cara."
"What for?"
"Just..." Vinyl scratched. "You never know."
"Oh don't be such a pessimist." Caramel stuck his tongue out. "That's Lyra's job."
"No wonder she's a music professor by day."
"Heheheh..." Caramel looked across the table. "So! Rainbow! I was at the ceremony earlier today!" He raised an eyebrow. "Were you sick or—?"
"Why does everypony wanna talk about the stupid ceremony?!" Rainbow moaned.
"Er... m-my bad..." Caramel's eyes blinked across the table. "Wow... those are a lot of glasses."
"HIC! You are a lot of glasses!" Rainbow slurred, pointing off-center. "You ever think of that?"
"And so it beginsssss..." Vinyl exhaled.
"I'm sorry." Caramel blinked. "What begins?"
"The apple's finally fallen from the tree," Vinyl said aside.
"In... wh-what way?"
"A stupid way..." Rainbow groaned. "Stupid... Leavish way..." She closed her eyes tight. "It's all my fault."
Vinyl whispered. "It's gonna be one of those nights."
"Ahhh..." Caramel nodded. A gulp, and he simpered. "I... think I could do with that pineapple now..."

I don't think anything else needs to be said.
Except for... whatcha got there Melody?
Looks like Rainbow's trip to Las Pegasus is starting to come together. Maybe her drinking buddies will play a bigger role in the story,
This is going to be another long, tedious arc, that escalates gradually into an action-packed adventure with zero appledashing, isn't it.
And so we get an arc with Lyra, Bon bon, Caramel and vinyl tagging along, and everything is once again right with the world. Except that Stu isn't dead yet
I can't wait until Vinyl, Vinyl and Vinyl show up in the next chapter, drinking buddy vacation! :D
*snicker*
Road trip with the drinking buddies. Rolling west on Route 66 on their vehicle, the Mobile Fury. Join us in this trip and you shall be called Furists.
Tee hee!
Also, if this ends up turning into every one of her drinking buddies having an excuse to tag along to Las Pegasus, then I will be inordinately happy.
Alright! Some friends for the road!
Yeah, that's a terrible name. Who'd ever wanna be stuck with a name like that?
6974947 More than likely.

6975806
At first, I had the oddest notion you were being serious. Then I remembered your username. I snorted and scared my dog thanks to you. She won't look at me now.
6975806 How 'bout
SueBill or George?Does anyone recall what this bartender's name is, or if it has been mentioned?
A letter, huh? Wouldn't it be weird if it was Rainbow's letter to Applejack?
6975925
Hm...
I don't know how Applejack would respond to that...
Dare I say cuddles?
6976736
Glad I could be of service.
I don't really understand where all of Rainbow's character development went.....Just a few chapters ago she was encouraging Stu to get back together with Applejack, now she's back to her depressing old alcoholic self. What the hell?
6977189 Uh what character development? She was doing what she's done since chapter 1. Whatever made Applejacks life happier or better
6976655 I'd say she probably wouldn't shut up about her and Stu long enough to hear it... like seriously the rest of the main 6 are pretty crappy in this fic, while vinyl, bon bon, lyra and caramel are like the go to team for rainbows problems doubts etc
6975154
Oh jeez, I sure can't wait for episode 1 of Vin, Vinn, 'n Vinny.
6978332 Well I guess we got teased with some fake progress then. Cuz for awhile, after the camping trip at least, Rainbow seemed a lot happier with her life and more accepting of the fact AJ was in love with someone else. But let's just brush it under the rug, yeah that's cool too.
AEROSMITH REFERENCE

Never left, she's just always been depressed with the fake smiles, and tricked herself into thinking she isn't.
