Two children in a war zone find themselves orphaned and fending for themselves. While foraging for food amongst the rubble, they find two unexpected things; a pink pony plushie and something else, altogether more sinister.
Problems are something everyone in Equestria has to deal with, big or small. Some problems have obvious answers, some don't. And sometimes, a pony chooses to deal with their problems on their own, no matter how much help they really want.
Everypony knows about Pinkie's 'Pinkie Sense'. She's saved many a pony from calamity, often with hilarious outcomes, and Pinkie is ok with that. So long as nopony suspects that there's something else happening; something dark that Pinkie is hiding.
