Twilight's experience with mirror portals to alternate universes causes her to doubt if her own choices have any meaning, or if they were even choices at all. When she voices her concerns to her faithful assistant, Spike makes a choice of his own:

To snap the neurotic mare out of the ridiculously absurd thoughts plaguing her mind.

After spreading the world of the Storm King's demise, Tempest Shadow feels it is time to further atone for her role in his attrocities by leading an attack on Klugetown to liberate the slaves being imprisioned and sold there. After a rousing speech to convince Equestria's Royal Guard, and an appeal to Queen Novo's desire to make up for years and years of cowering in Seaquestria, an army of ponies and hippogriffs is ready to shatter Verko's hold on the town. With Tempest Shadow, Princess Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Starlight Glimmer, and the other five Element Bearers leading the charge, victory is all but assured.

What's more, two of the brave creatures among this army are about to have meetings that will significantly alter the course of their lives.

The Young Six are in the midst of a slumber party in the Treehouse of Harmony, and have reached the point in the party where scary stories are to be told. However, none of the students seem to be able to come up with good enough stories. In response to this, the Spirit of the Tree of Harmony appears and offers to show each of the young creatures a story that is not just scary, but also brimming with imagination, and the powers of the mind. Stories of shadow and substance, of things and ideas.

Each of the young creatures will be brought into another dimension vast as space and as timeless as infinity, between the pit of fear and the summit of knowledge. The Spirit will be their tour guide in this mysterious realm known as. . . The Simulacrum Realm.

This collection of stories is based on the television series "The Twilight Zone" by Rod Serling.

(A retelling of the episode "She's All Yak")

"This is the story of a young creature who believed that in order to win the approval of another, she had to change what, and therefore, who she was. This is a belief that has been held by many a creature throughout time. However, no creature that held to this believe ever found happiness. Why? Because to hide or change one's own identity just to please someone else is foolishness, as that other creature clearly doesn't have the first creature's best interests at heart. At the same time, those who truly do care would be turned away by the sight of their friend twisting and corrupting their identity, and thus would their friendship die."

"This is the tale of a young creature who learned this lesson the hard way. . . It is a tale of love."
