Tucked between the farthest hills of Sweet Apple Acres, hidden by the oaks that border Whitetail Woods, sits a knoll with a single tree. Beneath the branches of this tree are two stones, marking the final resting place of two special ponies. Each year, the Apple family make a trip together to visit the site of their dearly departed kin, a trip that starts with fond memories and always ends in tears.

At least, such is the case for most of the family. The youngest Apple, however, has struggled to form the same emotions, especially in recent years. So, on a whim, she decides to make a separate trip to visit her parents – this time, with a friend.

For the first time in her life, Scootaloo has a reason to look forward to the Sisterhooves Social. At least, she thinks she does. It's just a matter of figuring out whether or not she can invite the pegasus she has in mind.

Surely one of the posters scattered throughout town would have some details on the event, right?

Most Friday nights, the Cutie Mark Crusaders convene together at their clubhouse to spend the night together. Sometimes, they have friends over to tend to things like Scootaloo's Rainbow Dash Fan Club. Other nights, it's just the three of them, spending the better part of the evenings planning new ways to discover their destinies.

But on very rare occasions, one filly or another can't make it out for the night. And tonight was one of those nights.

Life on a farm is tough work – any honest farmer worth their salt will tell you as much. But life on a farm as a filly isn't so bad, especially if you're lucky enough to grow up at Sweet Apple Acres.

Nighttide Star, born under the moon of a foreign land, is adopted by the Daedalus Institute of Research and Exploration when her parents are killed in an earthquake. Raised under the company's Labyrinth project, she is hoof-picked for a leading – and as of yet untitled – role for the government. Branded with the serial number LAB-1032, she is all but pure machinery by the age of eighteen.

While running an experiment on a prototype warp drive, Nighttide is lost to the ether and wakes to find herself in Equestria. Lost and injured, she is discovered by a timid mare with wings, and soon embarks on an unexpected journey.
