The Cutie Mark Crusaders have tried hundreds of ideas to gain their cutie marks. When "crocodile catcher" doesn't work out, they decide to invade Twilight Sparkle's library to see if they can find another spell to help them. What they discover is more than what they bargained for.

In place of their cutie marks, they lose their families instead.

With the aid of Princess Luna, the Cutie Mark Crusaders have to find a way to break the curse so they can bring normality back to Ponyville. But this won't just be a quest of mind. It'll be a quest of heart and soul that will make the Cutie Mark Crusaders really see who they are on the inside.
