Fancy Pants had a perfect life: a burgeoning business, a lovely marefriend, and even a few ponies he could call a friend. All that changed the day he met Rarity. That day, his life started to crumble as his love for Rarity grew.

But when Rarity becomes unavailable, what will he do? To what lengths will Fancy Pants go in order to make Rarity his? And what part does Sweetie Belle play in all this?

When they first moved to Ponyville, Fluttershy moved into an ornate cloud house, and Rainbow Dash moved into an animal infested cottage. As they settle into new lives and meet new ponies, they quickly discover that this isn't going to work at all.

Twilight discovers a book about the history of the Apple family, but it's missing some information. While it tells all about Granny Smith's life, there's no mention of a husband or any children. Twilight goes to Sweet Apple Acres to fill in the gaps and gets a lesson about what it means to be a family.

Apple Bloom is left alone and bored while Scootaloo is learning to fly and Sweetie Belle is learning magic. Applejack sees that her sister feels less special because she's an earth pony, and decides to get Pinkie Pie's help in teaching the filly about why earth ponies are so important.

Good ol' dad. Always giving advice that you flagrantly ignored.

Rainbow Dash is taking a nap, but her subconscious has bigger plans.
