When the Cutie Map sends the mane six away on a dangerous mission to the Badlands, they enlist the help of three students from the School of Friendship to watch their pets.

Sparkler, a Canterlot unicorn at heart new to Ponyville, isn't too thrilled to look after a bunch of smelly animals, but it might be worth it if it means spending time with her classmate and secret crush, Stonecutter.

If only that annoying pegasus, Cloudburst, didn't have to tag along.

This story is a sequel to The Princess and I

Ever since the day I decided to give up my old life for a new one I could say that everything's going good. I mean I've got a great girlfriend, an awesome new house and pretty much everything else a guy could ask for. However I'm sure that a lot of guys you look at me funny if I said my girlfriend was a princess and I live in a castle and I'm sure they'd say horrible things about me if they found out that princess was actually a pony who can control the moon.
My name is Aedan Ryan, six months ago I came to Equestria because I fell in love with a pony named Princess Luna. (Crazy right?) Now after having dealt with having to take care of her, a whole new challenge awaits me... one that I and every other man in the universe could never really be ready for...

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.
