It's graduation day for the stallions and mares of the Canterlot University of Music. Vinyl's recently formed band, The Midnight Mares, which consist of: Gale (an earth pony drummer), Crimson Talon (a gryphon guitarist), Neon Lights (a unicorn keyboardist), and Vinyl herself on Bass/Singing duty. They've been asked by their old university to put on a show for the graduating class.

Despite this opportunity for them, Vinyl seems intent on not attending the graduation show for some reason. Worried about Vinyl, disappointing prospective fans, and maybe a little worried about being an accessory to whatever trouble Vinyl gets herself into, the Midnight Mares go out in search for Vinyl. Luckily it's not that hard to find her, just follow the path of chaos.
