Space! It's big. You can find things in it.

She does, obviously, though what she finds comes as something of a surprise to everyone...

This story is a sequel to Cuddles

Ponies had plenty of festivals and celebrations for the changing seasons. Winter Wrap-Up, Spring Finish, Summer Sun Celebration, Summer’s End, Harvest Festival . . . they were a chance for ponies to socialize, to bond, and to prepare for what was to come next.
