It's good to be Big Macintosh. A powerful, sexy, and formidable bouncer who guards the entrance to the club "Vinyl's Cage Corral", and also the work horse of Sweet Apple Acres. He's good looking, and has many mares swooning at the mere mentioning of his name.

But...what if he doesn't even notice them? He's too busy to bother with love, and even if he could, the mares around Ponyville just aren't for him.

With Applebuck Season over, Vinyl's club closing down for Hearth's Warming Break, and no work to be done, Macintosh finds himself bored out of his mind...until he sees her.

A canary-yellow Pegasus with a lovely pink mane and the softest, most adorable eyes he's ever seen. He wants to talk to her...but what he discovers is that he's too shy to even try! To make matters worse...two of his cousins are in town to visit and notice this as well.

What follows is the hilarious adventure of two Apple Relatives helping a third to 'Buck up or shaddup!', get his act together and, you guessed it...take a Leap of Faith.

(This one's a bit shorter then the others, so I'm going to try to keep it the same quality but increase the speed. I really want to get to Twi-Vs-TrX!)
