Sparrow is a destitute griffon who lives in Griffonstone. He goes about his day living life as he can. One day, a couple of ponies show up in town and start shaking things up. A very particular scone inspires him to make a trip out into the world. Why? Because anywhere is better than being stuck in Griffonstone any longer.

It's Hearts and Hooves day and Spike has finally discovered the courage to ask Rarity to be his special somepony. How will it go? Will he be shot down like so many times before, or is something else brewing that even Spike couldn't have imagined?
