Star Gaze's life was always miserable. She never had a family that cared for her, always had to eat whatever scraps she could find, and lived in a broken and worn down house. But all of that was about to change when she was about to try out for the School for gifted Unicorns. But before she could go, the filly who went next became Celestia's pupil. That filly was Twilight Sparkle. Everything she got was everything that Star Gaze dreamed of having. She envied Twilight and wanted to make her suffer.

One day, Star Gaze stumbles across a spell that will give her everything she ever wanted, and will make Twilight learn just how miserable life can be.
