Runic is a rather odd pony, but nobody doubts his scientific knowledge as he is, after all, the lead scientist at the one and only Winnieapolis Hex Power Plant. His world is filled with numbers and discovery, but little does he know that he is soon to learn a lot more about things far beyond his control.

What happens when Runic finds himself in the far-less-modern Equestria we all know and love, and how can he possibly get back?

With being outcast from Ponyville and only feeling ill staying in Cloudsdale, Gilda has lived in the Everfree forest for over a year ever since she lost her friend Rainbow Dash. More than half her nest lays littered with crumpled and pierced letters she never sent, and the creatures of the forest have given up on comforting her. Gilda has never felt more alone in her life.

When the wandering Fluttershy happens upon her home, Gilda finds forgiveness in the last place she would ever expect. But will the rest of Ponyville forgive her?

And will that include a specific rainbow pegasus?
