Returning from Rarity's generously donated job, Coco Pommel is eager to learn under the wing of Ponyville's esteemed designer and her timing couldn't be better. With Canterlot's yearly fashion show and the Grand Galloping Gala right around the corner, Rarity is called to design a eye-catching line for young starlet, Rose Blossom.
Ivory Tower, Rose's manager, runs every minute of her life, and her mother Red Velvet makes sure her daughter is perfect for every photo shoot, public appearance, and cat-walk. Rose's sister, Fleur De Lis, attempts to balance her life and relationship with Fancy Pants with helping her little sister get through each day in one piece.
With such luxury constantly around every corner Rose barely has time for anything but work, but when Coco begins to notice that Rose is anything but the happy, privileged celebrity that everyone thinks she is, Coco unknowingly comes to the rescue with the companionship Rose so desperately needs.
However, friendship can only help so much when you are forced down the wrong path. Rose needs more than just a friend, and what she wants may end up costing her everything.

Shining Armor returns to Canterlot to report on the continued peace within the Crystal Empire, though he does not come alone. Beside him stands a little white filly; his daughter. She is called Starlight, and she is the first Alicorn to be born in Equestria's recent history.
Without a cutie mark, this charming and determined little filly looks to Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns to discover her true talent and passion in life; a choice which catches the eye of Princess Luna, who sees true potential in the little princess. Perhaps it is time for Luna to take on her own student.
Will little Star rise to meet her glory as did Twilight Sparkle under Celestia's teaching? Or will she fall to the same evil that Luna herself did?
