And just how exactly does one begin such a story? It was indeed a dark and stormy night; but then again, just moments ago, the sun was peacefully setting over the vast lands of Equestria and nothing was promising trouble. Not in that region anyway, so the forecast said.
But wait, why call it trouble in first place? “All’s well that ends well”, isn’t that the line they often say? Since we all know that this story, as countless others, indeed does end well, then there couldn’t have been trouble at all! Haha! Or does it? Or could it? 

Boy, I’m messing it all up again…
I guess I’ll start by saying that this story involved a lot of ponies. Purple, orange, pink, blue, brown… Even yellow! Or yellowish, for that matter. And who knew that exactly that –ish would be the cause of so much trouble? 
No pony, I tells ya! 
But either way, let’s cut the babble and get to the juicy part, I see you’re all excited already. 
Did I really just say juicy..? Uhm… scratch that.

Anyway.
It was indeed a dark and stormy night. 

Mostly dark, though. 
Indeed.
