The Equestria Games are about to begin! Ponies from all over Equestria have come together to compete, representing their hometowns in dozens of events. However, such a monumental event requires an immense amount of preparation and what better warm up for the contestants than to help prepare for their competition?

Both Braeburn and Soarin are competing for their cities, both of them arrived to the Crystal Empire a bit earlier than the other teams, and both have been roped into helping ponies that they know. As luck would have it, it also roped them a bit closer together.
