The Traders Exchange is up and Fleetfoot wants to visit it out of pure nostalgia. But when none of her friends have the time to accompany her, she decides to invite somepony with whom she works very often together, but still doesn't know much about - Blaze. She expects a nice, calm day with a few good trades and a tasty hot dog. What Fleetfoot got was something completely different with an interesting result.

Note: The story happens at the same time as the episode in season 4, in which the Main 6 visit the Traders Exchange.

Marble Pie spend her entire life on the rock farm of her parents. Farming rocks every day isn't the most exciting life, but it was always good enough for the small earth pony. When she was looking for a good book in the library, she started to wonder how the world outside the farm would look like. This one thought sparked a curiousness inside her she never knew, and it turnes her life into a direction she'd have never imagined.

A week has passed since Starlight Glimmer's disappearance, and the ponies in the town start building up their lives. When Party Favor throws a party, Night Glider sees an opportunity to find some friends. And what is the fastest way to do so? Baking delicious treats, of course! But soon she'll find out, that it's a much harder task, than she had imagined...

A broken heart. A mask, made of overgrown pride to hide fear. A wrong decision.

All of these lead Fleetfoot into a situation she never expected or wanted to be in. Will she have enough courage to face the dangers ahead on her way? And will she be able to embrace her fears of the past days?

Note: Sad tag is only for some parts of the first five chapters. From there on it's a pure adventure story.
