Twilight Velvet doesn't get to see her daughter much, so she's ecstatic when she's invited to Ponyville during a school holiday. While there, she runs into Mistmane, one of the fabled heroes she's heard so much about. Velvet was expecting an intimidating presence, full of splendor and awe-inspiring, but finds herself feeling a bit differently.
