Twilight Sparkle was assigned to study the magic of friendship, and she's been doing an excellent job of in-depth qualitative study with a small group. But proper research into social sciences demands some quantitative analysis, too, and to get the numbers she needs, Twilight is following her royal mentor's instructions: heading out into unfamiliar territory in Ponyville to make more friends.

What will happen when one of the most socially awkward mares in all of Equestria starts deliberately approaching ponies she's completely ignored for months, despite living alongside them? Why does Spike have to do it too, and can a baby dragon's instincts mesh with equine nature? And why doesn't anypony seem to know who painted all of those murals they keep spotting?

Not a literal crossover, but expect lots of references, shout-outs, expies from non-Pony media, and mythology gags.

It's been dull in Ponyville for some time now. Harvest season had pretty much finished, and a number of the town's residents had left for the holidays, either on vacation or to visit family in far-off places. Those that stayed behind had an excess of boredom to contend with.

Then one morning, Fluttershy tells Twilight about a strange object she found in the woods. What could this thing with the glowing red numbers on it be? And what trouble could it cause? Only one way to find out!

Note: Critique encouraged! I'm a bit rusty and I know it. So if you spot something that needs to be addressed, please let me know! Thanks!
