Taking place one month after the events of the movie, Pinkie Pie and Twilight's relationship has been especially strained after everything that happened. Pinkie has been pretending that everything is alright, but Twilight notices how her pink friend takes extra caution in speaking to her lately...and how she eyes her horn warily every time she does magic. Eventually, Twilight finally manages to confront Pinkie about her strange behavior, only to find out that her actions had scarred the party planner more than she could have guessed.
