Everyone always says that life is your most precious gift. But what if you're life really was a gift? What if the only reason your alive is because the love of your life traded her life for your's? This is the question that Fluttershy now faces, as Rainbow Dash lies broken and unmoving. All Fluttershy ever wanted was to tell Rainbow Dash that she loved her, but now because of her Rainbow Dash is in a coma barely clinging to her life. This is a story of harsh twists and turns, of hope and fear, and the decisions that make us who we are, and determine who we're going to be.

Twilight and Pinkie Pie have planned a vacation for their best friends in order to clear up all the stress built up from the past few weeks. Fluttershy has had a crush on Rainbow Dash for the longest time ever. She has always thought Rainbow Dash was oblivious to love and wasn't interested in mares too. During the long train ride, it starts to get harder for Fluttershy to hide her feelings for Rainbow Dash.

It wasn’t Rainbow Dash’s idea of a good time, but watching the Butterfly Migration was a perfect excuse to spend time with Fluttershy. Their conflicting schedules had been forcing them apart for the past few days, and for a while the two simply enjoy each others company. But as the afternoon drags on, and thought’s that Rainbow has tried desperately to fight back begin to surface, things get out of hoof fast. A disastrous accident brings the two closer together than they have ever been before, and soon the peaceful afternoon becomes a fight for survival. This is a story of self discovery, and a confusing, but prosperous relationship between two mares.

How far would you go to protect your loved ones? How much would you be willing to give up? Rainbow Dash finds herself faced with these questions when she discovers Fluttershy in peril, but to her none of those things could even be considered questions. Fluttershy means the world to her and she'd be willing to pay anything to protect her, even the ultimate price.

Bon Bon's voice is funny, and that's about all that anypony who meets her notices, as her marefriend Lyra soon steals the spotlight with her explosive personality, strange obsessions, and curious beliefs. And why not? Bon Bon is, after all, a perfectly ordinary, boring pony in every way but two: her voice, and the carefully kept secret that she isn't really a pony.
