The Slump Express

"Aren't you going to open that envelope, Caramel?" Bon Bon asked.

"Nah..." Caramel smiled, filing the object in question back inside his saddlebag. "I'd much prefer to do it later... when I'm in a nice and comfy hotel."

"You expecting some good news?"

"Oh. Definitely." Caramel giggled. "I have been for some time. Just... so happens that I'm on vacation right when it all comes to a head."

"Heh..." Bon Bon smiled. "If only life was that way all the time, huh?"

"I'm not complaining."

"Then neither am I."

"Wuh oh..." Lyra peered through the glass door.

"Hmmm?" Vinyl murmured, writing notes on her sheets. "What is it?"

"See for yourself, bright eyes."

Vinyl lowered her shades, glancing up.

Bon Bon gasped as—

Schwissssh. The door to the compartment slid open. Rainbow Dash trotted inside on dull hooves. At last, she pivoted around, and slumped down limply between Vinyl and Caramel.

Bon Bon fought a grin until her cheeks burst.

"So you decided to join us after all, huh?" Caramel remarked.

"Mrmmmff... they serve cider in Las Pegasus, right?" Rainbow grumbled.

"Last time I toured," Vinyl droned.

"Cool." Rainbow rubbed her head and leaned back with a sigh. She tilted her head back, shutting her eyes. "At least I can drown somewhere that's luxurious."

"Hey..." Lyra shrugged. "That's my motto. It's worked for me so far."

"Heeheeheee!" Bon Bon clapped her hooves together. "The five of us! Doing something epic for a change! This is going to be so fun!"

Caramel joined her cheers.

"Meh," Rainbow meh'd.

hey....hey Rainbow.....

you're fired

[Phoenix Kitten]

"Meh," Rainbow meh'd.

Same drink, different dive.
Los Pegasus is probably ass loads more expensive than Ponyville though.
...Vinyl's label is not going to be happy about shelling out probably close to 25k on Dash's tab alone.

[Shotgunmerc]

"Meh," Rainbow meh'd.

It was great when Vinyl did it, it's still great now

This arc can be nothing but trouble and I love it. Anyone want to make a bold prediction? Rainbow hires a hooker? Discord returns? Rainbow drunkenly marries Listing Breeze?

[Lightning Bearer]

All the ingredients are present for an arc that's a little lighter and, dare I say, comedic. Things have been a bit heavy lately, so I certainly hope that's the case.

One vote for Lancie, please. XD

[BronyInHiding]

No booze on Equestrian trains eh? That's too bad cuz Rainbow sure could use a Bloody Mary right about now.

[Aatxe360]

This chapter was 'meh.'

[zaponator]

Oh, this is going to be fun!

[Sharp Quill]

7015847 Not necessarily. Cocktails are free so long as you're actively gambling. Doesn't mean it wouldn't be cheaper to pay for them at a bar, of course.

[CommanderCuddle]

7015885 I imagine the mob will be looking for revenge, lots of loose ends on the villain side for rainbow dash

[Sam the Anti-Ninja]

hmmmm, 'Meh' is one of Rainbow's favorite words, but spelled backwards is 'hem', which is a sewing term. Rainbow hates sewing but Rarity loves it. And both their names start with the letter 'R'. Two R's is an accepted abbreviation of railroad, much like the Railroad rainbow is currently on. Calling it now, Rainbow is gonna wind up on a blind date with Rarity. Illuminati confirmed!

[Salad king]

I'm waiting for the explosions, pretty sure things are going to explode.

Ah, but you fail to take into account that "RR" perfectly rhymes with "Rara", Countess Coloratura's nickname (which also resembles Rarara, a common fandom nickname for Rarity). Furthermore, note that "Coloratura" contains the word color, and rainbows have lots of colours. From this evidence, it can be concluded that Rarity will set Rainbow Dash up on a blind date with Countess Coloratura. You were right about the Illuminati part, though.

[Sam the Anti-Ninja]

7016493 Ah, but if you sound out 'RR', it only rhymes with 'Rara' backwards, so the result is in fact the reverse: Coloratura setting up Rarity on a blind date with Rainbow. A bold attempt nonetheless, worthy of .95 Internets. Ah,whatever. A full internet because that Av is perfect for this conversation.

[Leftover of Saikano]

7015885 Rainbow's friends hire several hookers for her, Listing Breeze returns, and she drunkenly becomes a minister and marries Lancie to Mother Rushnut.

No, seriously. As soon as I clicked that link, it crashed.
