My name is Black Sheep. I've never fit in. I was alone in school, I never had any co-workers for friends, and I've never kissed a Mare. You never realise how hard life used to be, though, until you reminisce. I've always had the memory of that first Hearts and Hooves day stuck in my head, and I never wanted to think about it. But since you must be in the mood for a story, listen up. I'm about to tell you about my first Hearts and Hooves day.

But when Emerald Frost, a Pegasus that is able to manipulate arcane energy much like a unicorn, leaves town after having enough of being treated like a freak of nature, he realises that he is the only one that can counter what that town has produced. Returning there, the pony gets swept up in a problem much greater that he can imagine, and that a sweet mare makes solving those issues that much harder.
