Dinky falls into a depressed state as her perspective on life clouds with infamous questions, uncertainties and doubts. One day, the Cutie Mark Crusaders catch Dinky's attention, prompting her to come with them on one of their many expeditions. It doesn't take long for Ditzy to notice her daughter's disappearance, and she immediately takes off in pursuit, leaving Ponyville with one less mail-mare and four missing school fillies. No amount of magic can track them now, as Dinky and company have covered a lot more than just a few miles in one night. Surrounded by fear itself, will they ever escape this realm of dying fire?

Oh, if only they had stayed in the light.
