Summer, YOH 1505 (early to mid Season Five): Rarity has recovered from the psychological damage of her captivity in Our Town, and the fomerly Equal Ponies have begun to recover from the damage done to them by Starlight Glimmer.

Secure in Spike's love and her own Fabulousness, Rarity is working on the designs for her planned Canterlot Boutique, when she receives an unexpected visitor -- a Pony she devoutly hoped never to see again.
