When a teenage Mac gets invited to visit his cousin Gaff in the capital city of Canterlot, he doesn't think much of it. After all, it's only three weeks and soon enough he will be back in his comfortable state of working in the fields and taking care of his sisters and grandmother. Much to Mac's dismay, however, these three short weeks turn into memories for a lifetime, filled with unprecedented friendships and confusing loves. And, for all intents and purposes, this is how a shy young foal named Macintosh becomes the much-loved Big Mac.

NOTE: this story happens after the events in the comic series, issues #11 and #12. It will feature teenage Cadance, Shining Armor, Cheerilee and other characters you might recognise from the show and comics.
