Sunset Shimmer sits alone on Pinkie Pie's porch reflecting on her past actions and the scars on her arms that these actions left behind. Rainbow Dash joins her but is curious about what she's hiding underneath her sleeves.

Rainbow Dash had grown used to hiding her feelings for her friend until one dream shakes her to the core. Now she is up all hours of the night, unable to eat, sleep or even fly right. However, her pain is nothing compared to the oncoming threat to Ponyville. A griphon regime is rising, vengeance of years of oppression in their eyes. An AppleDash story with a side of chaos.
