Not long ago, a strange creature named Anon wandered into Maretime Bay. It was clear from the get-go that he needed some help, but not everypony was immediately accepting of the strange creature. So, it fell to Sunny Starscout and her friends to look after the new arrival.

...At least, that was what they thought. When their backs were turned, Anon made an unlikely friend, and she was the last pony they expected to see him with. Posey Bloom isn't exactly known for getting along with others.

And yet, she adores him.

It's been a bad day. Posey grumbles over her seemingly cursed fate. Why does nopony seem to understand it? A pony approaches with an open ear and heart.

Done for a patron!

Everypony loves Hitch - he has a perfect mane, shredded abs, and most importantly, a paid-off mortgage. A HOUSE THAT IS FULLY PAID FOR! What crazy mare wouldn’t fall in love with that? Sunny is a best friend, but what if she could be more than that? Time to shove the nerves aside and get on with it.

The pony tribes have just reunited, and Pipp has accepted the job of teaching the unicorns and pegasi about the wonders of the internet. They're excited to see what this technology can do for them, and she's excited to be something more than another pretty face on social media. Nothing could shake her enthusiasm now.
