District 2. A peaceful and quite district, often accompanied by peaceful orchestral music.
Unless its the first week in January, then all is quiet.
For that is the week all ponies dread; the Selection week.

When she realizes this, A romance between an Alicorn stallion and herself is sparked, but will this romance-and Equestria-be able to be saved from Chromos' tyranny?
