It's been dull in Ponyville for some time now. Harvest season had pretty much finished, and a number of the town's residents had left for the holidays, either on vacation or to visit family in far-off places. Those that stayed behind had an excess of boredom to contend with.

Then one morning, Fluttershy tells Twilight about a strange object she found in the woods. What could this thing with the glowing red numbers on it be? And what trouble could it cause? Only one way to find out!
