At Rarity’s invitation, Literary, a rather stoic and solitary mystery-writing unicorn and his friend Splatter, a cheery–natured pegasus who loves to paint, leave the hustle and bustle of Fillydelphia to find some peace and quiet in the countryside so that they may both finish their work. However they soon find out that Ponyville isn’t exactly the quiet, sleepy, little town they thought it would be. Shenanigans ensue as Literary finds himself constantly pestered by seemingly everyone until he finds a quiet place and an unexpected friend.
