After being freed from Starlight's control, Double Diamond and Sugar Belle struggle to shake off her influence. Then they start to wonder: are there other villages in the desert – and other ponies – who need their help too?
Sugar Belle decides to open a pop-up cupcake bakery, and Twilight Sparkle offers to help out. Little do they know, they're not prepared for a coming rush of customers...
(Takes place between "The Ending of the End" and the time skip in "The Last Problem".) Sugar Belle and Big Macintosh prepare for the arrival of their first foal. And Big Mac shares what it was like for his parents when they had him.
It's Guys' Night! OH YEAH! But when Big Mac betrays the sacred code "players before mares," the party is in for an adventure that's quite a bit... different.
Having accepted Twilight's offer of apprenticeship in the magic of friendship, Starlight Glimmer returns to the community she founded long ago, in her first attempt to make amends.
The former equalized ponies struggle to reconstruct their town after Starlight Glimmer's defeat, and Double Diamond struggles to reconstruct his own identity after being freed from Starlight's equalization brainwashing. *One-shot*
