Luster Dawn is staying in Ponyville for Hearthswarming, not least because her friend Griselda hasn't ever taken part in a Hearthswarming before and wants to see if it lives up to the reputation. At the very least it's got to be better than the Blue Moon festival back in Griffonstone, right?

Their plans are rudely interrupted however, with an unexpected appearance by formerly deposed King Sombra. Not least because he's making a fool of himself in the local pub instead of trying to conquer the world once more.

A fluffy Hearthswarming tale. The Teen rating is for alcohol references.
