A story about Minuette "Colgate" Romana putting her life and livelihood back together in a new home in Ponyville with the help of friends she meets along the way, and some old ones she left behind in Canterlot.  Colgate is a clock maker and carpenter (hourglass cutie mark, what was I supposed to do?)  Berry Punch owns the local bar and has a daughter (Ruby Pinch) whom she adores.  Toss in Cheerilee as Berry's frazzled but dedicated sister, Big Macintosh and everyone's favorite Mailmare Ditzy Doo, plus my freaky knowledge of Football, that is "Hoofball" and hopefully the resulting brew will come out tasting nice.

For those of us who can't get enough Berry Punch, Minuette recommends this blog:  http://berrypunchreplies.tumblr.com/

(The story is going to be pretty straightforward, classic cast with as few OC ponies as possible and mostly situational humor and themes like forgiveness and reconciliation, working through problems and building relationships, and relying on your friends when you're in a jam.  Probably some romantic themes later on, but nothing over the top or in bad taste.  There will be some sad bits too of course, but that's not what the story is about, or what drives the plot.  This is a story about beginning again in a new place, and all the hardships and triumphs, laughter and love therein.)
