It's been a long while since you've come to Equestria. And you've been friends with the one pony many would least expect. But you know deep down, with all the crazy stuff that she deals with in her life, she can have a soft spot.

So, on a rainy day in Maretime Bay, Posey lets you stay the night at her place. Little do you know that scratching her back would change her mood within a matter of seconds.

Not long ago, a strange creature named Anon wandered into Maretime Bay. It was clear from the get-go that he needed some help, but not everypony was immediately accepting of the strange creature. So, it fell to Sunny Starscout and her friends to look after the new arrival.

...At least, that was what they thought. When their backs were turned, Anon made an unlikely friend, and she was the last pony they expected to see him with. Posey Bloom isn't exactly known for getting along with others.

And yet, she adores him.

It's been a bad day. Posey grumbles over her seemingly cursed fate. Why does nopony seem to understand it? A pony approaches with an open ear and heart.

Done for a patron!

Things are going great for the endlessly charming Posey. She’s got killer looks, a ponytail to die for, and a job yelling at ponies in the art museum. What more could she ask for? Well, maybe to live in a world without Sunny Starscout.

For some reason, Sunny thinks Posey shouldn’t give up on her dream of getting her art into the museum—she’s annoying like that. Posey decides to humor Sunny for a day, not realizing she was about to inspire a religious experience that would change Maretime Bay forever.

Oh—fair warning, there’s dirty stuff in here. After all, a good story is my fetish.

CW: Definitely nothing worse than out-of-season holiday references. Promise (not really).

She tries to provide a living example. Demonstrating how much better things could be when you're just happy and willing to get close. Of course, there are those who say that Izzy gets a little too close. But when she's in a new place every day, the disorientation is almost constant and she just needs to center on something sort of familiar... then at least there's other ponies. Frequently at a proximity of roughly seven tail strands.

Maretime Bay isn't fully comfortable with that. Which may be why the bulk of it just took out a restraining order. Trying to get Izzy to back off, just a little, until she learns to respect personal space.

Or maybe they're just trying to make an example out of her.

The pony tribes have just reunited, and Pipp has accepted the job of teaching the unicorns and pegasi about the wonders of the internet. They're excited to see what this technology can do for them, and she's excited to be something more than another pretty face on social media. Nothing could shake her enthusiasm now.

Everypony loves Hitch - he has a perfect mane, shredded abs, and most importantly, a paid-off mortgage. A HOUSE THAT IS FULLY PAID FOR! What crazy mare wouldn’t fall in love with that? Sunny is a best friend, but what if she could be more than that? Time to shove the nerves aside and get on with it.

Can't an ordinary pony who lives in an extraordinary seaside town have one day, just one normal day, without anything going wrong? Posey sure wishes that things were that simple that grasp. It seems as though the day has other plans for her.
