A year has passed since Twilight's coronation as princess, and the only pony who isn't happy during the anniversary party, is Twilight.
Perhaps what she needs is a night to herself, to reflect on why she's afraid to break free from her chains and find happiness.
Or perhaps what she needs is an escape. A way to run away and forget her problems... just for the night.
Luckily, the perfect escape comes to her in the form of a stranger.
Or perhaps this escape is just her next set of chains.
Sex is discussed and reflected on, but not shown.
