The homeworld is gone. A lone guardian must undertake a journey across the cosmos to secure a new home for her people, no matter what the cost.

Solar Wind knew what she was getting into when she signed up, but she never could have imagined that the greatest enemy she would face would not be the fleets of her enemies nor the wilds of open space, but the being confronted with her own mortality.

Do you want to hear a scary story?

You do? Oh…well…okay. You’re the first pony I asked who didn’t turn me away. Most just looked at me funny, or just told me to get lost. A lot of ponies don’t like scary stories. I know I don’t.

What? Oh, I guess I should introduce myself. My name’s Scootaloo.

It is called a Rage of Dragons...a calamity not seen since the beginnings of the world. The skies of Equestria are filled with the beating wings of a thousand monstrous serpents as they lay waste to all before them.

Leading them is the Dragon King, the greatest of their kind, a monster among monsters. He is a creature of fury, a hurricane given form, a blight upon life as we know it.

He is also hurting.

This time, he will have his vengeance upon the alicorn princess who betrayed him. This time...he will not hesitate.

There’s a pest in Carousel Boutique that only Fluttershy can deal with. But what happens when it’s the one animal, the one thing in all Equestria, that Fluttershy hates more than anything? The answer: absolute bucking destruction!

You don’t know anything about me. I was perfectly happy before you and your friends ruined what I built!

I don’t know what happened that led you to make your village without cutie marks. And I’m sorry my friends and I had to take it away.

You want to know what happened to me? I’ll show you!

And with these words, Starlight Glimmer transported herself and Princess Twilight through the time portal. However where she winds up is not where she expected. And she isn't alone either. Who is this pony from her past and how does he know so much about her?

A foolish daredevil attempt sends Scootaloo to the hospital with broken limbs. The physical scars will heal, but the emotional ones run far deeper.

Rainbow Dash arrives to cheer her up, but when even she fails to reinstall faith in Scootaloo, she decides to tell her a story from her fillyhood, a story as important then as it is today. A story that helped make Rainbow Dash the mare she is today.

"Long ago, back when the princesses had yet to arrive and Equestria was a land overrun with monsters and crazy magic, the ponies cried out for a hero. An ancient god and a mortal pegasus mare give birth to that hero, one whose adventures will help shape the nation for all time. Her name is Hyracles. This is her story..."

Clothing is more than attire. For many it is an extension of who they are. At the end of "Made in Manehattan" Applejack lets Rarity throw away her trademark hat. How does she feel about that?
