Ever since the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony had released Discord from his stoney prison, Fluttershy had gone out of her way to make him feel welcome. It was something Discord had taken for granted, enjoying the attention she gave him. When the opportunity arose to fully embrace his chaotic nature once more, he took it gleefully, despite the fact that it meant the betrayal of his friend. He eventually saw the error of his way and received forgiveness, and at first all was well, but on returning home, and with time to think a new emotion is stirring deep within his chaotic heart.

Luna, the Princess of the Night, still struggles living in a world that has aged one thousand years in her absence, nagged by the guilt of past mistakes. Derpy Hooves, on the other hoof, would be glad to just get through her day without causing too much damage. When, one fateful evening, they bump into each other, neither of them expects that it would change their lives. What does the future hold for the two of them? At least one thing is certain: whatever happens, there will be muffins.

Professor Dusty Tomes, Equestria's greatest scholar and Twilight Sparkle's childhood hero, arrives in Ponyville on a mission from Princess Celestia. He must study a unique phenomenon: a being whose inexplicable powers may have the potential to benefit Equestria—or even to destroy it. The object of his research? The cheerful, exuberant pony known as Pinkie Pie.

Most ponies assume that something is wrong with Ditzy Do's eyes. Theories range from a head injury to a genetic disorder to muscle damage behind her eye. The crueler folk suggest she's just retarded. Nicer ponies say it's just a party trick she never got tired of.

They're all wrong. They're all very, very wrong.

I discovered the truth one day in conversation with her. One eye would always look at me, and the other would wander. At least, I thought it was wandering. So while we were talking, I followed it. Goddess in heaven I wish I had not. Never follow the other eye. Ever. Because Ditzy Do's eyes work fine.

She's just watching something. That... thing that's always in the corner of our eyes. And if she looks at you with both eyes?

Goddess save you.
