After the events of their first Hearths Warming Eve together, and the revelation about Gallus' family, or lack there of, Silverstream comes to a shocking realization: Gallus has never had a birthday party! Silverstream decides to correct this as soon as possible, so she recruits the rest of the Young Six to put together a surprise birthday party for their griffon friend.

However, as all of his friends are busy planning this surprise, Gallus can't help but feel that his so called friends are avoiding him. Feeling alone and abandoned on this day, Gallus unknowingly finds himself in a vulnerable position ripe for manipulation.

Gallus really should have remembered that not only was he friends with a changeling, but said changeling can feel certain emotions.

Specifically: Love.

Dash has one simple question for Pinkie, 'Why does she smile all the time?', but can she accept the answer?

Taking place one month after the events of the movie, Pinkie Pie and Twilight's relationship has been especially strained after everything that happened. Pinkie has been pretending that everything is alright, but Twilight notices how her pink friend takes extra caution in speaking to her lately...and how she eyes her horn warily every time she does magic. Eventually, Twilight finally manages to confront Pinkie about her strange behavior, only to find out that her actions had scarred the party planner more than she could have guessed.

Everyone knows Pinkie Pie and her love of smiles. But why is she so eager to smile? Why is a smile her most valued possession?

For a person to truly value a smile, there has to be an event, a catalyst that makes them value happiness above all else.

For Pinkie Pie, that event was Sunshine; the sick Pegasus.
