One could say that Ponyville is a sanctuary. Another could say that Ponyville is a place for discovering one’s hopes and dreams. Scootaloo was a young Pegasus, beautiful and unique in her own ways. She had no Mother or Father to help her along. Her friends were always there for her, but her depression often outweighed their efforts. Her nights were spent alone with no pony to comfort her. Happiness was only found when she thought of her one dream coming true, to fly as high as the sky would let her. She wanted nothing more than to be like her hero, Rainbow Dash. It was a dream that could not be made a reality however.

The day had broken in Ponyville. There was a slight chill and the town’s residents have begun to awaken from their sleep. The day was partly overcast with a light drizzle of rain. As the townsfolk had gone about their business and tended to their daily tasks, the drizzle had become a steady rain and the town’s streets had became barren. However, Twilight Sparkle and her faithful assistant Spike had business that needed to be tended to. Shortly before Twilight and Spike had left her library, Princess Celestia sent Twilight a letter. It had asked her to check out something near the edge of the Everfree Forest. According to the letter, there was strange activity reported from that area. As Twilight and Spike arrived, they begin to search for anything suspicious. What Twilight finds there will change her life forever.
