Meet Paige Turner, a fan of "My Little Pony," an obscure 300-year-old series of books written for little foals. She thought it was all a bunch of childish but entertaining stories set in a fictional Equestria, but when she takes a job in Ponyville, it becomes more and more obvious these books aren't fiction, but... prophecy.

Unfortunately for Paige, she's seeing the mane 5 BEFORE Twilight Sparkle ever set hoof in town, and it's becoming increasingly obvious that THESE ponies haven't learned a single thing about friendship ...

... YET!
