An ordinary afternoon at Canterlot's Summer Sun Faire becomes extraordinary when a young filly gets too curious and Princess Cadence experiences every foalsitter's worst nightmare.

EDIT: Featured on Equestria Daily on 12/31/12. It's a New Year's miracle!

After defeating the evil unicorn Sparklelord by tossing him through a portal, Dr. McNinja enters the rift in time and space himself in hopes of finding another unicorn to be his new motorcycle. However, instead of going to Radical Land like he hoped, everyone's favorite ninja doctor ends up in a small little country known as Equestria. Unfortunately, Sparklelord is in Equestria as well, with intentions to wipe it and its inhabitants off the map. It’s up to Dr. McNinja, his sidekick Gordito, and the Elements of Harmony to save the day.
