As the Ponyville jeweler is about to close up shop, she notices a very familiar mare, Trixie, walk through the doors, insisting on finding the most beautiful necklace for the most beautiful mare. And she seems uneasy. Oh, so very uneasy.
She flees into the night–hurt and afraid. On she runs until she collides into with a classmate who takes her in. Though confused, she gradually overcomes her inner barriers with a little help.
Trixie and Maud have been in a relationship for awhile now, and with Trixie's recent advances put down by the stoic mare, Trixie is beginning to worry that there's something she doesn't know. Little does she know just how right she is.
All Trixie wants is a smile from the emotionless mare. Yet, no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't seem to get even a smudge of emotion from her. Looks like Trixie's down to her last straw.
Trixie's gone, but Starlight can't let go. The memories of their life together haunt her, torture her and when she can't take anymore, she dons that old cloak; once worn by her beloved partner.
