Rarity loves her friends, but they cannot help her. She loves Rainbow dearest of all, but she does not and definitely cannot help her. The monotony and bareness of life is getting to her. Perhaps a holiday will help. The Crystal Empire is lovely and decadent. Perhaps she will forget herself for a while.

This is a crossover with Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises .
Despite indications to the contrary, this is not a romance as will become clear.
