Vanilla Cream, a highly intelligent citizen of Stable 81, has the brilliant idea of using the Stable Door as a resource. This opens the Stable up to the hostile wasteland outside. And the Stable remains peacefully ignorant of the hostilities for several days. At least, until one day, a large group of Feral Ghouls enter Stable 81, and immediately start attacking its citizens. Now, Vanilla has a new goal; she must enter the dark and hostile wasteland to search for a new source to use as the Stable door.
But as time passes by, it turns less into a fight to save her Stable, and more into a fight to save the wasteland and Equestria.
Along the way, she makes many friends, and many enemies. But she toughs it out, just to protect herself, her friends, and to find a safe place to call home.
