Rarity and Applejack spend their time in the sauna having a rather... interesting conversation about Equestria's flawed system.

A day for a cat is usually full of laziness, but not for Opalescence. Somethings she would wish she wasn't a pet for a busy fashion designer and an energetic filly. I wonder how Opalescence deals with this everyday. Especially when she goes to school with Sweetie Belle for a day.

Life was hard for Jeremy, an eighteen year old boy. His house was falling apart, his school life was constantly in pain, his neighborhood was quiet, and his family disappeared when he was twelve. What he didn't have coming, was that he was to find some happiness in life with the help of a... eh... pink pony? This is going to be one wild ride for Jeremy.
