A gloomy night in Ponyville from a distant thunderstorm serves as the perfect backdrop for exploring a little unconventional romance for one of the town's most recent couples. However not too long into the experimentation, Twilight Sparkle's overzealous nature kicks the plan into a wall, or more accurately a bookcase.

One year since the abrupt end of her previous tour, Trixie returns to Canterlot to begin her show anew. Despite the initial success it remains clear that she cannot forget about the mare that haunts her memories. Something which is desired and deeply examined by Princess Celestia, however the discoveries of Trixie's true feelings towards her student seek to open a path she had previously only dreamed of leading. A path she swiftly urges the willing unicorn along as she sends the showmare to Ponyville for her next stop in the tour.
