This stort is an alternate version of events for the episode "The Fault in Our Cutie Marks."

Young Gabby wants to try getting herself a cutie mark and tries to seek out the Cutie Mark Crusaders. However, things take a strange turn for her as she crashes into the Everfree Forest and finds Zecora. She then convinces the zebra to craft her a magic potion to temporarily turn herself into a pegasus filly until she can find her cutie mark and learn her purpose in her life! But along her journey, she has to lie to the Cutie Mark Crusaders about who she really is. Also, there is a side effect to the potion she was unaware of, which makes it much harder to find her purpose. Gabby will, however, have to navigate through these obstacles and see how much she's willing to do to achieve her cutie mark.
