In the wake of the events of "Infernal Machines" and the Nightmare's most pathetic assault on Ponyville yet, Applejack is thrown into an existential crisis, despite her not knowing what the word "existential" means.  So when a stranger named Stranger arrives in town, teaching a new way of coupling talent to power using complex machinery, she is quickly suckered in, along with everypony else.  Now, it falls to the Most Dependable of Ponies to bring the resulting ruckus down to earth, but can even Applejack's legendary pragmatism stand up to the brain-fizzing horror that is... CONTRAPTIONOLOGY?

A horrible Cataclysm has turned all of Equestria into a Wasteland of barren ash and twilight desolation. The Sun and the Moon have been destroyed. Everypony has died--including Princesses Luna and Celestia. But one pony miraculously survives; she is a lone wanderer, the last of her kind, surrounded by menacing creatures that hate her. She navigates the Wastes in an airship and scavenges off the blighted landscape to keep herself alive.

Then one day she meets an old companion who grants her a gift, the chance to go back in time to the warm and sunny days of Ponyville, where her dead friends live in happiness. How far will the last pony venture into this joyous age of Equestria, even if she fully knows that there is no way to change the horrible fate of everypony she loves?

After a big fight between the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Sweetie Belle wonders if she ever had any real friends.  When she sees how close her sister and her friends are as they prepare for their vacation, she becomes envious.  Wanting to make some new, real friends, she secretly joins them on their vacation.

Once upon a breezy night, counting the stars and snuggling up close for warmth atop a low-hanging cloud somewhere over Ponyville, two young pegasi who had always been friends first admitted the true depths of their affection for one another.

But that was eighteen months ago, and Rainbow Dash isn't sure she understands Fluttershy anymore; what she wants, what she's afraid of; what she really feels. Frustrated and sworn to silence, all she wants is what she thinks is best for them both - but can she work out how to reconcile their differences, and after she's been through so much to get to this point, does she even want to anymore?
