The Stallions' Field Cup has finally arrived, and Caramel has decided to compete despite his shortcomings. To him, it only makes sense; to everypony else...well, they're more curious about Big Macintosh competing and acting...oddly. Of all the changes Ponyville has gone through, these two aren't very striking to the general public. But they are about to become very important.

After all, what better time than now?

A/N: This is indeed a romance fic of Caramel/Macintosh. Basically, it's a soap opera; not basically, it's much weirder and more confusing. You have been warned.
