This story is a sequel to Letters From a Friend at the End of the World

Her travels having brought her and her friends to the far-north city of Frostvale, Trixie finds herself caught up in a looming war and a dangerous plot. Still just trying to recover, she decides to lay low for a bit and wait for an opening to continue her journey.

Meanwhile, Twilight and friends continue following the trail Trixie left behind on her way north. By a combination of her letters, and the ponies they meet, they follow in her hoofsteps, discovering a number of surprising secrets along the way.

During her morning routine of surprising her friends, Pinkie Pie happens to spot a mysterious box that seems to move whenever she's not looking. To a pony so thoroughly grounded in reality as Pinkie Pie, it's unthinkable that a box could move on its own, so she decides to put on her deerstalker hat and investigate.

This is all Seattle's Angels' fault. Those guys are the worst.

Trixie hates a lot of things, including, but not limited to, high school students, malls, shopping, pretty much everyone else in general, and zombies. It's just her luck that all of these things would combine into one massive amalgamation of annoyance and lumbering death. Fortunately it's not all bad. At least now she can finally take out her anger in a productive way, by smashing zombie heads with a guitar and killing all the people that ever annoyed her.

After years of gathering magical artifacts and assorted doohickeys, Trixie feels it's finally time to open up her own shop. The only problem is that she's located right across the street from The Golden Oaks Library, much to the annoyance of Ponyville's resident librarian-turned-princess. Luckily none of the stuff Trixie is selling is cursed, or so she's telling ponies.

Twilight has finally achieved her lifelong goal of having her article published in the local newspaper. It's been a long time coming, but now that she's done it, she's so excited that she runs around town shoving her achievement in everyone's face. It doesn't take long before Twilight discovers that no one cares if you get published in the local newspaper. After all, it's just the local paper.

Tired of always having Twilight come to Canterlot every time she needs to retrieve the Elements of Harmony, Celestia decides to expedite the process by sending Twilight a magical amulet that will allow her to absorb all the Element's powers at once, turning her into a magical girl who fights monsters and wears skirts that are much too short. There's just one problem... Spike's the one who ends up making the contract, not Twilight. So, with Twilight taking the back seat, Spike is forced to take up the hero's mantle—and skirt—and fly to Canterlot to save the city from a massive tentacled beast and seal it back inside the magical card from which it escaped.

Having been kicked out of one too many bars, Trixie decides to try her hand at an open mic night at the local nightclub/grocers, Beets and Beats. Upon arriving she sees the most beautiful mare she's ever met. No, not Twilight, Princess Neon Boom. The two's bombastic personalities collide and they end up having a DJ battle to decide who's the most illest DJ in town. Twilight eventually shows up and can't believe how quickly things spiral out of control. Who knew that the power of music could rip apart an entire town?
