Romantic encounters lead to romance, right? Two ponies meet, they share a shy kiss, then it's happily ever after. That's what Applejack thought anyway. Then one night she got to experience it for herself.

Applejack and Fluttershy find themselves in a complex situation after too much cider robs them of their judgment and inhibitions for a night. What was supposed to be a night of fun has unforeseen and far reaching consequences that nopony is prepared for. Things only get worse when the secret gets out. When friendships are tested, the cracks begin to show in everypony's carefully constructed worlds. How will their friends react? What of their families? And most of all, how will they deal with themselves? If friendship is magic, can one mistake really destroy it?

They say that love is the most powerful force of all, but isn't it supposed to be a force for good? Can the love within one pony really tear apart family and friends?
