My name is Michael Westen. I used to be a spy, until...*"We've got a burn notice on you. You're blacklisted."* When you're burned, you've got nothing: no cash, no credit, no job history. You're stuck in whatever city they decide to dump you in. You do whatever work comes your way...

After Fiona turns herself in to the FBI, Michael and Sam return to the Loft to plan how to free Fiona and strike back at Anson.

However, their foe is one step ahead of them. As Michael and Sam enter the Loft, they trigger an explosion left behind by Anson's agents. When they awaken, they find themselves in a strange, seemingly peaceful world. But soon, Michael Weston's talents will be called into action.

Can Michael Weston function in a place his training has not prepared him for? Can he find a way back home? Is Equestria able to handle Chuck Finley?

Fluttershy, after a painfully awkward dance at a party with Big Macintosh, goes around Ponyville asking her friends what love feels like. This ends about as well as it could be expected to, and Rarity decides to take things into her own hooves.

She lived in a city of clouds, yet could not fly. She was surrounded by caretakers and foster families, yet felt alone. She saw other foals get new toys and sweets aplenty, yet got scolded if she complained about the meals she got. The orange and violet foal gladly left it all behind. With even her name cast away, she struggles to build a new life on her own terms.

There aren't many things in whole of Equestria capable of truly angering the gentle Macintosh Apple. Were somepony to ask the stallion, he could very well recite all the instances that had happened - and all of them were either world-wide catastrophes or millennial prophecies.

Even then, he could simply forget it by letting his mind lose itself in the day-to-day farm life. It was a simple solution, as life would prove time and time again.

But this week seems hell-bent on proving just how sheltered Mac had lived his life. An unfortunate chain of events following another, the Apple stallion will be forced to face his present phobias, future frights and past phantasms.
