It's that time of year again: summer is on the cusp of fall, the air is hot and heady with anticipation, and for the Apple family, the Reunion is rolling on in again. With barely a week until all her relations arrive, Applejack and her family are preparing - with, of course, the help of one Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends - when a small draconequus-shaped snag appears in the proceedings.

After all, just because he's bound to use his powers mostly for good, that doesn't mean Discord necessarily has to be nice, and a harmless little prank is still right up his alley. So with a snap of his fingers, all of Sweet Apple Acres undergoes a rather significant change... and Applejack rapidly starts fraying at the edges.
