Rarity was the queen of the social scene. She had it all: friends, beauty, brains, social standing, popularity; everything had always worked out in her favor. Spike on the other hand had lived a very different school life. He was short, childish looking, lonely, embarrassed and ignored or hated by everyone who came in contact with him. They had seen each other time and time again in the hallways but never shared much outside of a few glances, never words.

Despite coming from different worlds within school walls, perhaps they have more in common than they think and perhaps there is something deeper growing between them that no one wants to see come to life. Can love truly conquer all or will love be conquered by the cruelty of life?
