A famous fashion designer takes an interest in Rarity’s work and she ends up paying a very high price for his patronage. How can she keep up the high workload he demands with a foal on the way and how will she manage once it arrives?
In a world of snakes and ladders, Rarity has had to learn a single, simple fact: It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single mare who desires fame and success must, without a doubt, be a social-climbing bitch.
Rainbow Dash finally made a friend at Flight School; a timid filly named Fluttershy. It was a great change in the lives of both young pegasi, but neither filly had any idea just how big a change it would be. But they'll always have each other.
When Rainbow comes to Fluttershy for help with her next big prank, Fluttershy actually finds herself enjoying it. Till the Cutie Map calls them to Cloudsdale and things start getting peculiar...
Fluttershy awakes to see something staring at her in the darkness of her room. It's next to her bed and its eyes are unnatural, its body otherworldly. Is it real, and if so, can she find a way to escape before its true intentions become clear?
After staying away from her friends for years, Fluttershy is stunned to discover Rainbow Dash on her doorstep looking haggard and asking for sanctuary in her escape from someone she won't name.
