Ten years in the future, the Kingdom of Equestria is enjoying a period of peaceful expansion and modernisation, thanks to the combined efforts of its citizens and a proactive princess. Gem of this era is the city of Ponyville.

But such peace is not meant to last. An ancient, forgotten enemy, the Lineage of Death, has awakened after eons of slumber. Immune to unicorn, pegasus, and earth pony magic, they fear but one enemy: the legendary warrior Kyma.

Not all assumptions are malicious, but even the most innocent rumours can be unpleasant, if they actually effect ponies' lives. Rainbow Dash knows this all too well as she tries to confront the stallion of her dreams. A bitter-sweet kind of hilarity ensues when she meets another pony with similar problems.

In a matriarchal society such as Equestria, sometimes the social position of a stallion can be difficult.

Big Macintosh has things going fairly well for himself. He does his share of the work at Sweet Apple Acres and helps to support his family along with his sister.

But Granny Smith has been talking lately. She thinks an eligible stallion such as himself should find a well-to-do mare and get married before he's too old. And now she's gotten an idea: why doesn't Applejack introduce him to her friends?
