What if your hopefull and positive outlook of life were more fragile than you think?

There is a place in Equestria call Happy Town. This is town that veneer the concept of joy and everypony do their best to achieve it. All, except for one. That lone pony disagree with the philosophy of its home, seeing as a hypocrisy. And so, he plan to show all Equestria the cracks of that way of living. In an extreme and cruel way.

One day, the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony, Twilight and her friends, have been sent on a mission to go to Happy Town. An ancient ruin of a time long forgotten had been found nearby and the Mane 6 have for task to investigate it. Using that opportunity, that pony kidnap them all and use the strange machinery of those ruins to organize a game. A game where each of the Bearers will be put to a trial that have for goal to shatter their optimist.

This might be the bigger test they will have to face. Will the power of their friendship will prevail?
