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.
"Well, the original plan was to give it to her this Friday," Stu Leaves said. "But... I-I can't find a good way to frame it. I'm talking about an opportunity to surprise her with it, y'know?"
"Uh huh..." Rainbow Dash hovered above the stallion while he sat on the front stoop of his apartment. Crickets sang in the background under a starry glow. "Maybe you should just—I dunno—take it over her ranch or something?"
"Well, I thought of that too, but I doubt even that's possible." Stu gulped, rubbing his hooves together nervously. "All of a sudden, Applejack's been really... really busy with apple bucking. Almost as if she's got four times the work load as normal. I can't get a word in edgewise."
"Huh?" Rainbow Dash blinked. "Oh. Duh. Winsome Falls."
"Winsome What?"
Rainbow smiled slightly. "Fluttershy came up with an idea for the six of us girls to go and hang out at Winsome Falls," Rainbow Dash said. "Sort of... like... a small, funtime camping trip thingy." She gulped. "Plus Trixie."
"Oh, you don't say?" Stu smiled wide, his wingtips fluttering. "That sounds really, really nice!"
"Yeah." Rainbow shrugged. "It'll be an opportunity for us to catch up, y'know? Chew the fat... get sweaty with one another." She blinked. "Erm... that last part sounded weirder than I meant it to."
Stu chuckled. "I get it. Girl bonding time."
"Right. Girl bondage... bonding..." Rainbow went cross-eyed. "Bleah..."
"Ha ha ha ha ha..."
She smiled. "So... uh..." She dipped a bit in midair, rubbing her numb forelimbs together. She had to get at least one dose before the hike. "AJ's probably... y'know... buffering."
"Buffering?"
"Doing a bunch of work now so she won't have to do a bunch of work later."
"Ahhhhh..."
"So she'll have time for the camping trip?"
"I suspect you're doing the same."
"Eh... I have it waaaaay easier," Rainbow said, slicking her mane back. "Both of my jobs are part-time."
"What about the tornado team meet?"
"Easily avoidable, dude. It's just a matter of scheduling. I'd say I'm in the same boat as Rarity in that regard."
"Well, I do hope everything works out for you girls."
"Yeah..." Rainbow sighed, staring aside. "Me too."
"I know first-hoof how awesome it can be when you and Applejack share the same air." Stu winked. "You two can definitely talk up a storm."
"Yes... well..." Rainbow gulped. "Not recently..."
Stu's voice leapt over that. "Rainbow Dash?"
"Yeah, Stu?"
"About... uhm... about the Trottingham orange tree gift..."
"What about it?"
He cleared his throat and looked up at her with a nervous expression. "You... uh... you won't tell her about it, will you?" A crooked smile, ears twitching. "I mean, at this rate, it probably won't be until after your trip that AJ receives it."
Rainbow stared at him.
"I really want the surprise to go over well. It's all in the presentation, if you catch me."
She continued staring. She smiled. "Sure thing, Stu. Mum's the word."
"Oh..." He exhaled a heavy weight from his lungs. "Oh thank you, Rainbow!" A breathy chuckle. "You've been such a wonderful help. You have no idea!"
"Hey..." Rainbow shrugged, beginning to fly away as the night cast a shadow over her muzzle. "What are friends for...?"

[thoughts of AJ's lasso intensify]
Well.. that's not fing ominous or anything.
Not at all.
Still, good to see she can relax and be more amiable with him when AJ's not around.
I don't know what you're thinking Dash, but you better stop that right now! No dishonesty now, y'hear!? AJ wouldn't like that, now would she?
I'm sure this is the last time that promise will factor into the story. Nothing but clear sailing from here on out.
I honestly really like the idea of Dash and Stu as friends, too bad it's not gonna be like that for long. Like what, she honestly is thinking of screwing over Stu in some way? Like thats not gonna come back to crush her?
Methinks that should have been "she" instead of "Stu."
Two terrifying possibilities:
RD ends up having to miss the camping trip.
RD tells AJ about Stu's gift.
Stupid finals season, you're making me so gloomy.

Maybe, but I read it as Rainbow smiling at him to reassure him. Possibly. But I don't know either.
In a sudden twist this turns out to be the longest leadup to porn in the history of the internet.
I draw your attention to exhibit A. drawn from the Appledashery before this arc.
Now, there are many ways of interpreting that little snippet. "Depths to plunge to," for example, can be considered in a very negative light. However, this is Dash we're talking about. She wants AJ to be happy. She wants that more than anything else in the world. She believes that AJ deserves to be happy. We're talking religious zealot at the altar of all things Apple here.
In other words, AJ has in a roundabout fashion professed an interest in Stu. Stu has shown that he not only is interested, but is willing to put his money were his armaments of mastication reside.
Rainbow Dash wants AJ to be happy, no matter what else, that is and has always been, the end game. Whether that happiness comes by way Rainbow or somebody else, it doesn't matter. Rainbow will make sure Applejack's happy and stays that way.
In light of that, I can see this little trip being all about paving the way for Stu to move up to the plate.
What else would send Rainbow into a depressive spiral faster (i.e. plunging depths), than seeing Applejack happy with somebody else?
But would that stop her from making it happen?
Not a bit.

Bit slow on replying to this but...
Hopefully you're all caught up with the Austraeoh saga, if not... well ignore the spoilered text.
Remember the Reed
That plunging to depths thing could also easily mean that trinket is going to become tiny little pieces somehow.
Dashie shut up
SHUT UP DASHIE
