Most ponies don't like to think about things that go bump in the night. Octavia and Vinyl fight monsters as operatives of a shadow society. It's hard work, especially since Vinyl has a taste for blood.

Daring Do is a fearless adventurer, a mare made of myth and legend just as much as flesh and blood. On one cold winter day, with the world safe and sound once again, the golden mare finds a warm note from a loved one in her mail drop.

Luna wants to protect her little ponies too. It is her duty to step into their slumber and keep them safe from the horrors of the Dreamtime. But before she can help others face their nightmares, she must come to terms with her own.

Spike writes a letter about why he loves Rarity, and asks Celestia for her approval.

A slightly older Spike helps Rarity design a few new dresses, and she lets him know that she feels he is ready for a relationship. However, a comically timed mishap forces him to choose between his desires and his duty to Twilight.

It's the biggest night of Vinyl Scratch's life, her hottest gig ever. Anypony would have a few jitters. Will she choke, or can the support of a friend help her remember why DJ-P0N3 is such a sensation?

All Octavia wants is to play her cello and feel loved. It is her destiny, after all. A shame that her father had other plans for her life.
