Fluttershy wants to play in snow, but none of her animal friends want to so she plays alone. While building a snow pony, she receives a headache that tells her an animal is in mental and physical pain. When Fluttershy can't find the animal, she panicks. She feels something warm snuggle up to her and sympathizes with her. And she makes a new friend!

Twilight asks if there is a setback to being an Alicorn. To her dismay, Celestia tells her is a setback and calls a meeting of alicorns because of this. During the meeting, Twilight learns what the setback. Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Discord (?) tell Twilight about...

The Curse of the Alicorns.

What is life? Discord wants to know. In attempt to find out the answer, he goes to Fluttershy's. But when Fluttershy asks him "What is love?" Discord has a lot put on his mind... until he receives a gift from Fluttershy, leaving him shocked, but more open-minded.
