They say that Equestria is the prime example of what society is meant to be. Ponies, working hard and leading good lives. Good, honest folk who would like nothing more than to sit down with a cold beer after a long day of work, reminiscing over past experiences and basking in the nostalgia. If you were to walk through any Equestrian town, you’d be wading through a pool of diversity. Everypony is unique, from personality to their technicolor coats and cutie mark. It’s the ‘Equestrian Dream!’ but of course, there are no dreams without a few nightmares. When Trixie's 'Equestrian Dream' is shattered, and she herself cast away like filth, she thinks herself to be beyond saving. Upon meeting a socially awkward doctor who offers her shelter, things begin to change. She doesn't know it, but Fate isn't done with The Great and Powerful Trixie yet.
