Big Macintosh's life has taken a surprising turn in the form of a pink pony with a penchant for partying. But even amongst all the gossip and the dozens of parties appearing on his calendar, he still manages to live the same life he’s always lived (to a certain degree). However, sometimes it’s not the great big changes that are the most affecting.

Applejack and Big Mac go out for a nice normal dinner.

Pinkie Pie is bringing her big sister Maud around on a tour of Ponyville. While looking around Sweet Apple Acres, Maud loses her pet rock, Boulder. She receives help from Big Macintosh, and the two have a nice, deep conversation.

Now with a Spanish translation!

Every day, she woke up feeling sadness. She felt that twinge of guilt, that dark cloud of depression follow her everywhere she went. The one day she didn't wake up feeling sad, she woke up being a survivor of Equestria's worst train accident in history. Was it destiny that she survived that crash? Is she destined for something more? And most importantly, will she accept the role that destiny has offered her.

This is a story of such things, a story of identity, about who we really are and how we discover that. But it's also about how the answer can show itself in the darkest of ways. And, most importantly, this story is about "Redemption."
