At first glance, Lilac Dreams seems to have it pretty good: youth, wealth, a loving family, good looks, a great body, a beautiful lilac coat and the legendary rainbow-coloured mane and tail only granted to a few Pegasi. Unfortunately, two major problems are present in this Pegasus' life:

1. Can you even begin to imagine what being called "Lilac" does for a stallion's street cred?
2.If he flies for too long he gets cranium-rending headaches that cause him to lose consciousness.

To help with his problem (the second one, nopony can help him with the first) he travels to Ponyville to seek the aid of the famous Twilight Sparkle, personal student of Princess Celestia herself, and her friend Rainbow Dash, the best young flier in Equestria.

What's that I hear you cry? "Shenanigans"? But how? It's not as if both mares are very beautiful and he finds himself attracted to each of them. Honest. That would just be silly, right?
