My name is Bean Vine Hooffield, and ever since Rarity wrote in some book, I've been hearing that there are some ponies that're saying that Rarity is a garbage pony. Well, I don't think that's right at all, and I'm going to write down why I think that is so that I can prove it too.

While talking to Fluttershy, Rarity recognizes how much her success in the fashion industry was due to the help of her friends. When she is put in the running to win an award by the Equestrian Academy of Design, and when her friends cannot be there with her, she decides to write a speech that she feels will wholly express her gratitude to them. But a time ultimately comes when everything that really matters to her will count on her being where she is needed most.

Determined to win your love, Fluttershy has been coming over to your house every morning to try and guess your fetish. But on the morning of opposite day the roles are reversed, and it is you that must try and guess your fetish for her. This change ends up having unexpected consequences for your shy stalker.

Tree Hugger's special connection to the earth and all things living gives her unique insight into the spiritual lives of ponies everywhere. Back on her commune she used her talents to help jaded ponies reconnect with their lives, and her work follows her to Ponyville.

Her admiration for Applejack as a pony who lives simply but fully is disturbed by an unexpected development, leading Tree Hugger to believe that Applejack is undergoing a spiritual crisis. Meanwhile Tree Hugger is also interested in meeting the human that has settled in town, for she's worried that his spirit may be forever damaged by his separation from his home world.

My name is Pumpkin Cake. I'm nine years old, and I've always wanted to solve a mystery, just like my hero Prancy Drew does. I've become aware that there runs a secret psychological undercurrent in the minds of the ponies around me, which influences all of their thoughts, beliefs, and actions. With my mental skills, which I've honed to be similar to Prancy's, I want to use my analytical eye to see into that secret world of theirs, which completely controls them, whether they know it or not.

The human had died when my brother and I were only five, but he lived vividly in our minds, thanks to us hearing Pinkie's stories about him.
My brother is still enthralled with him, but I had forgotten about him as I grew older.

I never thought much of Fluttershy, who has always babysat my brother and I whenever Pinkie Pie was too busy to.
She never interested me, until she unknowingly gave me the opportunity to solve a mystery that I had always been looking for.

Good friends can talk about practically anything without worry of having hurt each other's feelings. The mane six are those kind of good friends. When they get together, they can talk about nearly everything and anything.

But girls can be very, very weird when they all get together for a session of girl talk. Spike knows this and wisely stays away from them when they get like this.

Ponyville's resident human, however, despite warning from Spike, decides to walk in on one of their sessions as it's going on.
