This story takes place after the events of Twilight's first Winter Wrap-Up in Ponyville which includes good ol' Unicorn Twilight.

Twilight had come face-to-face with the irrational terror of snakes and those that slither around when tasked to wake the burrows for Winter Wrap-Up. Seeing the illogical nature of her fear, she asks Fluttershy for help in the only way she knows how: through science and magic. Twilight's experiments with Rupert the snake and a conditioning comfort spell slowly transform into an obsession that goes beyond just getting over her phobia.
