Four short, mostly disjointed stories revolving around Hoofington locksmith Luster Lock and one pony with whom she becomes acquainted.

Untitled (Luster Lock vs. Bristle)
Working after hours at Lock's Locks, Luster has a pleasant run-in with a stallion and his young son.

"The Facts of Ponyville" (Luster Lock vs. Heather Rose)

"Supercell" (Luster Lock vs. Vanilla Skies)
Manehattan Weather Cooperative Overseer Vanilla Skies is authorized to hire any able-bodied pegasi on one-time commissions in periods of dire need. The freak storm heading into the city tonight more than qualifies.

"What You Love" (Luster Lock vs. Lilligold)
