In the warmth of her cloud home, Rainbow Dash is about to turn in for the night when she hears Scootaloo crying outside in the middle of a vicious blizzard. Plucking the freezing filly from the snow, Rainbow hopes to provide some much-needed comfort for the otherwise tough young pegasus, but she uncovers a disturbing reality that she knows she cannot handle alone.

Knowing only one pony that could really help her out, Rainbow enlists Twilight’s help, determined to set things straight for Scootaloo. But what Rainbow doesn’t know is that in her efforts to provide a better life for the filly, her friendship with Twilight will develop into something more.

Little over a year has passed since the invasion Tempest Shadow (Fizzlepop Berrytwist) did in the name of the Storm King. Since then she has gotten a job, done many hours of mandatory community service hours, and made a friend with the guard that was originally assigned to look after her in the first few months. Now Twilight has Fizzlepop going on a date with that same guard, and Fizzle, by request of Twilight, agrees.

As the years drew on, Spike's childish heart grew into that of a true adult, longing for the finer things in life; the finest things. He pursues his relationship with Rarity, but all does not go as planned.

Filled with anger and sorrow, Spike and Rarity fall away from one another. In his grief, Spike pursues new interests, and their friendship is in danger of never recovering.

But perhaps the truest words in life are these: you do not know what you had until you have lost it. Jealous and alone, finding no comfort in stallions she once loved, can Rarity reclaim her one chance at true love, before it is too late?

Rainbow Dash is not a cheater. She's worked hard in life to get to where she is now, and she never, ever took the easy way out.

Why does it hurt so much?
