First Story. Inspired by but hopefully different than My Little Dashie. New York City, 1988. Dennis Sadnik seems to have it all: wife, three kids, and nice house in Queens. But his life has changed, and not for the better, and steps into the street to vent. But his life takes an unusual turn when he encounters a young brown filly on the street. Unable to fund its owner or give it away, he is inspired to move with his family to his wife's family's farmhouse in Upstate New York. He finds the change to be beneficial. 11 years later, he find himself all alone. His wife dead, his kids off to college or abroad, all alone with his pony Crystal , and decides to turn his mostly empty farmhouse into a bed and breakfast for tourists.

In the summer of 99', two college girls come to his house, wanting to enjoy the town of Saratoga Springs, they say. They act strangely, he observes. But he'll soon learn there is more to these girls, and his own little pony than meet the eye.
