The college life is what everypony dreamed of. After leaving for collage Moon Ray, a perfect unicorn, is ready to enjoy the life he never had. Friends, no rules, and a mare friend. In all his grade levels he was adored by every mare. He had never been rejected before but the old saying goes "there's a first time for everything." He is about to learn what rejection is going to feel like from a certain purple unicorn who didn't have time for anything.

This is the story of Chaser, a pony from the distant, wintry village of Snowfall. Growing up as the only pony without a cutie mark is more than embarrassing; as a full grown stallion with a bare flank, he feels ostracized and alone. He decides to leave his home and finally find his destiny in the world. Ending up in Ponyville, he discovers for himself an age old truth—it isn't what people can see on the outside that matters most...
