What happens when everyday high school drama gets wrapped up into something bigger? Something that involves magic? What do you do? You fight back, of course.

Twilight Sparkle never really enjoyed the students at her school. All she wanted is to read and study. Yet the Crystal Preparatory Academy drama was too much for her to handle. She has plans to move schools – in which she manages to snatch a scholarship at Canterlot Magic Academy. That is a school she always wanted to go to and so did her parents. But money was always an issue.

It's the most expensive prep school in all of Equestria. Only a few teenagers are lucky to transfer from their old school and study in a place like that. Very little are fortunate enough to gain a scholarship. Even the name gives off a light-heart feeling. She didn't give herself enough time to sign the papers as her excitement got the better of her. What if her parents didn't tell Twilight Sparkle everything she needed to know about CMA?

Throw in a powerful friendship, four Houses harsher than Hogwarts', social anxiety, self-loathing and a high school forbidden romance, you got yourself a massive load of something to go through. And let's not forget the magic that gets tied up into all that – it's like the blood red cherry on top of a poisoned ice cream sundae. She knows the CMA policy is flawed, however, there is nothing she can do about it. Or is there?

Twilight Sparkle didn't expect that she would make friends with twelve other students and that their lives were a part of something different than just high school. And she surely didn't expect to bust out her wand and attack.

The shadows flood through, relationships fall apart – it's a fight caused by a broken friendship.
