Morning Dust ,a young Unicorn, is student to Queen Lunaria, ruler of all Equestria. Studying in the small town of Canterlot, she goes to Ponyville as a vacation. What she expects is a week off of studying, what she gets is her life changed forever.

Suri Polomare was eager to win that beautiful trophy. She deserved it for her cleverness, and Rarity's foolishness. When her plan backfired, she was very upset about it. Of course, anypony would be upset about not winning. At least she could try again later. But when Coco leaves her, she has nothing but herself. Coco's gone, Rarity would probably never forgive her. She realizes who she's become, and is sickened at it. She wishes that she could set things back to the way they were. The small town of Ponyville, sitting with her friends, just making things while enjoying their time together. Manehattan leaves it's mark on everypony, and it left not only a simple mark, but it left another pony. A thief, a liar, a cheater. If only she could set things right.
