On a night unlike any other, the stars seem to fall, and reveal something amazing: Ponykind is not alone in the universe. And the neighbors have just come calling.

One month before Nightmare Night, a strange object crashes in the Everfree. What arises from the wreckage will challenge everything anyone thought they knew about Equestria's extra-terrestrial neighbors.

One week after Nightmare Moon's banishment, something strange is found on the outskirts of the old capital of Equestria. Four weeks after Nightmare Moon's return, Princess Celestia sends her faithful student to meet an old friend of hers.
