Backed into a corner with a drought, Applejack and Rarity's idyllic life on their farm is facing harder and harder challenges. When an unexpected disaster worsens a bad situation, they will have to make the ultimate decision for their family.
Five months into her existence as a human, Sunset confides her anxieties and frustrations about the turns in her life and what the future holds for her to her new adoptive sibling - Rarity.
One year after the destruction of the Memory Stone, Rarity sits Sunset down for an earnest discussion after she realizes her friend is dealing with some intense nightmares.
The days are the same and the nights are like any other. In the kitchen for her evening wine, a mare shares a glass with a time-travelling dragon, who can barely say more than the word 'Yes.'
After seeing Rarity's new boyfriend, Spike realizes that he's too ugly to ever date her. But what if he's not ever attractive enough to date anypony? It takes a conversation with Twilight to help him realize just how special he is.
A train accident robs Rarity and Sweetie Belle of their parents, forcing the sisters to live together. Now Rarity must put her generosity to the test: balancing her career at the Carousel Boutique while being the mother figure Sweetie needs.
Sweetie Belle struggles to get closer to her sister in the midst of a tragedy that hits too close to home. Meanwhile, Rarity struggles to make a better life for her sister and herself in the midst of said crisis.
Hardship, pain, loss both personal and professional, there aren't many storms Rarity can't weather. So it wasn't until Applejack saw Rarity leaving the wake that she thought something was seriously wrong.
