Seth Sigler wanted a normal life.

Lyra Heartstrings wanted to try to impress Twilight and the Gang with the Rainbow Bridge Spell.

Equestria at large wanted a break after Tirek happened.

Sunset Shimmer wanted to get away from the drama at CHS.

FIMfiction wanted a unique story.

None of that actually happens at all.

Other tag for characters that will play a role but I couldn't get tagged into the story due to reasons.
