	The land of Equestria, ruled over by Princess Celestia under the sun, and Princess Luna under the moon. Equestria has endured much turmoil over the years, from reign of Nightmare Moon, the Insanity of Discord and the attempted takeover by the Queen of the Changelings. But through it all five very special ponies were there to save the day. To everyone who watched them and thanked them for their deeds, no pony would have thought to stop and wonder how the turmoil had affected them. 

Twilight Sparkle was probably the only pony who was able to handle the chaos. She had always been one to set out to save the day and be the first to sniff out the wrong. Rainbow Dash reveled in the chance to save the day, always recklessly throwing herself into danger but always putting others safety above her own. Rarity is one you would never expect to handle trouble well, yet she was the most outspoken of the group, and if things were even the slightest bit out of place, all who knew better moved out of her way. Apple Jack, had her own share of problems handling the chaos of some events, but she possessed a strong heart and will, and would not be easily under bucked. Fluttershy surprisingly took the problems thrown her way in stride. Although she’s very easily startled, when the lives of her friends were threatened, she would unleash a fury like none Equestria had ever seen. Sadly, although the others had a way of being able to cope and recover from such chaos, one pony was not so lucky. Pinkie Pie, one of the most unusual ponies one could ever come to know. Pinkie had come from a very poor family and had had more instances of emotional and mental, overloads, than the average pony. What most ponies perceived as a blanket of happiness was in reality a veil she used to cover her true nature, one of a more dark and sinister nature.
