Moondancer is a smart, young mare who know's more about magic than even the top spell-casters in all of Canterlot. She was also a recluse, one who'd rather read than go outside, too nervous to talk with any strangers. In short...she's a total nerd.

One day, she bumps into an old classmate from her time at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns, who asks to tutor him in advance magic. Reluctantly she agrees not seeing much in him, but what starts as simple lessons between teacher and student, will soon blossom into something beautiful.
