Same-sex relationships are generally frowned upon in Equestria. So when the relationship between Cheerilee and Berry Punch is threatened to be outed, Cheerilee is at the risk of losing her job... or more.

Every relationship has its ups and downs, right? For Cheerilee, it seems like her's only has a downside. She's asked Berry time and time again to quit drinking.
