During Summer Swap Meet, the Mane Six meet an unusual and strange acting pony visiting the community. However, this unconventional mare is harboring a big secret that Twilight must discover quickly if she is to avert a tragedy...

This is the first fanfiction I ever wrote for MLP, and basically deals with a topic that's rather close to home for me... Would the Mane Six be able to befriend an "unusual" pony who doesn't quite "think the same" as others? I never intended for my OC to "join the Mane Six" or anything. I created her in order to basically make a character who has Asperger's Syndrome, to try and relate how hard it is for people who have this condition to integrate socially and make friends, no matter how hard they try. I also wanted to show just how hard it can be at times on a personal level. Because of that...this has some "darker" material than Y related show, but I'm still going to rate it Everyone.

Most of all...it's a thank you to all my own friends who never gave up on me and saw past my condition. You mean the world to me.

Since this was my first MLP fanfic...I'm not sure I was quite in the "spirit" of the show even after revisions...but I still think it's good, so I hope you enjoy it.
