Love has always been a tricky thing.

Some believe that it comes at first sight. Some believe in arranged marriages and love coming after. Sadly, some believe that it doesn't even exist at all.

For Pinkie Pie and Rarity, that was not the case.

Love came from a flirtatious friendship, and talking. Lots and lots of talking.

There is an invisible red thread that connects those who are destined to meet from the moment they are born. It does not matter of the time, the place, or their circumstances. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break...

The Red String was known to all of ponykind. When two ponies tied to each other by the red string finally met, they were inseperable. They lived long, fulfilling lives together, grew old, and hopefully, fell into eternal slumber soon after one another. Applejack and her lover were no different. At least...that was how it was supposed to be.

So what happens when soulmates are torn from one another far too soon?

Twilight's an Alicorn, a race that is known to have a lifespan that borderlines eternity. So of course, she knew it would be hard for her to have that special somepony that she would love for the rest of her life. But with a bit of magic and science, she was able to make a special somepony that would love her forever.

After being imprisoned once again for hundreds of years, Discord has had plenty of time to think.

What had he done to deserve this? How had he ended up in this situation again? He did everything right this time (literally becoming one of the good guys, with no ulterior motives). They still feared him. They still hated him. And in his moment of weakness, an old personality resurfaces. A personality that even Discord had struggled to put away, in hopes that it would never return...

They only had one thing to do; Go and wander around inside a creepy old house, out in the middle of some creepy forest. Simple right? Of course not, because nothing ever goes perfectly planned when there are teenagers involved.

Vinyl Scratch hates school with a burning passion. The education system was one of the reasons she left and became a DJ in the first place. Now, there's one tiny little reason that makes her end up back in school, and she's just going to have to put up with it.

An infectious disease that brought back the dead ran rampant. Over three-fourths of the population have been lost to it. The military has been decimated. The government has crumbled. Their civilization has turned to shambles. But to them, it's not the end of the world. It's just another day in it.

Rarity suggests to give Applejack and Fluttershy a small makeover. Just a change of their mane styles, and nothing else. Nopony would've thought that just changing that would cause them to change completely. Chaos ensues, and Fluttershy and Applejack's best friends now fight against the clock to change them back to normal.

What is it? Where did it come from? Nopony knows, not even Canterlot's top scientists. But what is known, is that Celestia needs the help of Twilight and her friends to figure out just exactly what this strange substance is. But after a dragon's little observation, and a shy pony's suggestion (and secret little ability), the Mane Six end up reaching Cloud Nine.
