The girls get lost in the snowy northern mountains. Rainbow Dash struggles to find her friends in the unrelenting wall of snow.

Years ago, Rainbow Dash achieved her lifelong dream of becoming a Wonderbolt. She'd gone through the academy, been a staple of the main lineup and, eventually, earned the rank of Captain.

Lightning Dust has a plan to make her anniversary with her marefriend something she'll never forget. It goes poorly.

In the library of Twilight Sparkle's castle, there is a book where none should be. There is no record of it being entered into the collection. It is not in the card catalog. It has never been checked out. Before yesterday nopony knew it existed.

It is the only book she has ever tried to destroy.
