Everypony needs a vacation or a break every now and again. Vinyl and Octavia are looking to do just that, after hitting the highest peak in their careers. That doesn't mean they will quit their musical jobs, it means a vacation is needed for them. But when they take their well-deserved vacation to Manehattan of all places, they meet a mare that could guide them in the right direction in a city of glamor and glitz.
This mare might even show them, that there are two sides to this city: survival of the fittest and whether it is truly everypony for herself in this town.

I see what you did there.
4730148 The movie references.
So, what chapter are you up to?
4730154
Actually, I just finished.
I am ready now.
(IT WAS AN AWESOME STORY!)
4730184 Very well then, if you have a gmail I'm going to share the last chapter with you.
4730193
I'll personal message it to you right now.
4730198 Sounds good.
Yay! Read it again, read it again!
4731631 Thank you so much for your help! I thank you and the other editors.
4731634
No problem! It was really quite enjoyable to read and write!
4731645 Glad to hear that!
4731646
You deserve it! You are gifted, my friend. Gifted!
4731655 You're gifted as well, my friend.
4731658
Oh, me.
I'm nothing compared to you.
4731668 But you fixed my mistakes, added more details, and really impressed me.
4731696
You...you've just made my day...
I...I...impressed you?
I...I just don't know what to say...
4731722 No problem. Should I add the Tragedy or Sad tag and Gore?
4731733
You should probably add the Tragedy tag, seeing as there isn't exactly a...happy ending.
4731740 Oh okay. So, Vinyl and Octavia died?
4731745
Well, you're the author.
Do you think they died?
4731892 Uh, yeah.
4731897
Then they are dead.
4731907 Got it. We should do a collaboration together.
4731925
WE SHOULD START RIGHT NOW!
YES, YES WE SHOULD!
4731927 If you want to, we can discuss it in a message.
4731931
YAY!
That would be awesome!
4731944 I'll send the message, don't reply to this.
EDIT: Nevermind.
I'm sorry to say this, but the ending of the story prevents me from putting it in my favorites.
It's not because it's a downer. I've favorite several stories that have sad endings.
It's more that, up until that point it was a mostly funny slice of life story, and the ending seemed kind of abrupt.
5710917 I'm glad you brought this up to my attention, readers have the freedom to say and show how they feel so I'm okay with your decision.
5710923 You're welcome.
Have you ever considered doing a sequel about Vinyl's and Octavia's adventures in the afterlife? I think it could be really interesting.
5710933 I never really mentioned this but sequels to stories that I've finished so far have never been considered or written but if someone else wants to write one they can.
5710946 Oh...
5710959 Yeah, sorry to burst your bubble.
5710978 It's okay
