The National Equestrian Academy for Magic was created decades ago by the leaders of Equestria, Princess Celestia and Luna, but this new year may be the most dramatic yet. All young ponies with great potential are accepted, horned or not horned, and placed into the different grades and sections of the sparse campus.
Pupils from all over Equestria are pooling into the school, such as an aspiring fashionista who finds out love isn't always like the ones in her novellas, a studious young scholar who finds that there may be more to life than seeking out knowledge, and a mysterious male heart-breaker with wild rainbow hair and a strange affinity to a blonde, old-fashioned apple farmer's older brother.

When Braeburn forgets something in his visit to Ponyville, Rainbow Dash goes flying after his train to give it back, only to find out Big Mac is on the trip with him. With the Appleloosan going to the restrooms, they argue- until their car, the last one of the train's line, is mysteriously cut off. Lost in the desert, they now have to survive a ghost town, a pair of ancient, cursed bracelets, Las Pegasus, one very mad scientist, so much more, and, most of all, each other. But there may also be more to their story, like three pairs of hooves looming over their destiny. First, though, they're gonna need to get back to Ponyville.
It's my first MLP fan fiction, but I do so appreciate feedback.
