Tours are hard. Tours are harder when you have a crush on your fellow musician. Tours are harder still when said fellow musician cheats on you. No, you weren't technically together. No, it doesn't matter.

It has been over eight months since Sweetie Belle accidentally activated an ancient spell. Essentially trapping herself outside of the natural world, causing Rarity to become desperate in her attempts to rescue her younger sister. Since every pony else has failed, Rarity is willing to take her efforts to a level the most would refuse to even consider to save her sister.
No matter the costs.

Six years after getting her big break, Sweetie Belle is back in Ponyville filming for a new documentary about her life. She's a famous singer now, selling out concert halls and producing top 40 hits all across Equestria. Now, she's collecting interviews from all the ponies that played a major part in her life story as she grew up. However, there's one pony who she wants to interview more than any other: Button Mash. In addition to being six years since she got her start, it's also been six years since he broke up with her.
Despite keeping in touch with letters over the years, Sweetie had never brought up the topic of the breakup since it happened, yet she wasn't satisfied with the reason he gave. Deep in the back of her mind, she couldn't help but think that it was somehow her fault. Now though, she had the chance she wanted to get the answers she sought. The only questions left to be answered are will she be able to handle the truth, and what will revealing the biggest secret he's kept the last six years do to Button?
No matter what happens, both their lives will never be the same.
Trust is a funny thing. For Fluttershy it is rarely given, if ever at all, though there are some things she simply cannot bear to admit beyond herself. But then, Discord has never asked anypony's permission to take what he wants, has he? Even if it's a secret. So he watches as she copes with her addiction with increasingly brutality even towards those she once so fervently fought for, and waits for just the right moment to expose her.
But not because he wants to, mind you.
