My papa is celebrating his birthday! I CAN'T WAIT! I've got my saddlebag all packed and ready to go! I've got a LONG hike ahead of me! Twily was confused why I wanted to go alone and by hoof. That silly little pony! I told her that 1.) My family's house isn't big enough!..and my sis is very, very shy around new ponies (like Fluttershy!) and 2.) I know that trail like it's the left side of my cutie mark! Twilight should have nothing to worry about!

This was the first entry of Pinkamena Diane Pie's travel journal. It was recovered by the Royal Equestrian Air Force after it was found 10 meters down an obscure hole on an unmarked trail.

Inside is a first-hoof account of her struggle to survive the 5 days without any food or company.

Narrative told in both first-person (Pinkie Pie's journal in italics) and third-person.

Inspired by 127 Hours, Into the Wild, and personal experiences.

Rated Teen for strong language and disturbing scenes.
