In New Horseleans, a young unicorn named Firestarter works in a restaurant, a little over a year and a half after things took a turn for the worse in Ponyville. When Fluttershy comes into town to save a local whale from an apparent epidemic, however, Firestarter believes she may have found a friend. Unfortunately, the mare is hiding a dark secret from her pegasus friend...and the truth may have to come out sooner than she'd hoped.
