As a student in Canterlot, Twilight Sparkle didn't have time for friends. Now, she's relocated to the slow-paced, country village of Ponyville, where she has instant access to the local library and doesn't even need to room with her old assistant, Spike. But the best part is that she has friends now: not the boring, interruptive, time-wasting friends that she always dreaded one day having, but true friends. Loyal friends. Best friends. Now Twilight is truly happy, and nothing can kill her mood!

It seems the evil in her new home will have to be content with killing the pony herself instead...
