For the most part, Equestria is a happy place to live. Many ponies get to live a comfortable, sustaining life and don't have to worry about basic survival needs. However, there are those few that struggle every day to survive, the light at the end of the tunnel never seeming to get closer.

Rose Petal is one of those ponies who struggles on a daily basis to live. She has struggled and fought to survive since she was a filly, and every day she wakes up and sees Celestia's sun she is thankful for being alive. Will she finally find that break she has been looking for all her life, or was bad luck meant to follow her until the day she dies?
