It is many years after the end of the original Mane 6's adventures in friendship, but the story is not over. Flurry Heart, now a late teen, just graduated Magic High School, and has been invited to Ponyville to celebrate with her Aunt Twilight (now an important figure in Equestria), and her friends. However, right after she gets there, Twilight has some urgent business, and the original Mane 6 (Plus Starlight Glimmer and Spike) must leave immediately, leaving Flurry back in Ponyville. However, she is not alone. She ends up staying with her "cousins", Twin siblings Pound and Pumpkin Cake, and soon meet three more Ponies: A quiet white unicorn named Whitacre, a country singer named Rough Rider, and a strange land pony named Goldenglow. They all become quick friends and start to bond, however something lurks in the shadows, waiting for the right time...
