This is finally it, Spike's decided; he's not going to let the sun sink one more time without finally wooing the unicorn of his dreams! He's been scheming and conniving, and despite his prior stumbles and false starts, this is it! The ultimate plan to win Rarity's heart!

Or so he hopes. Twilight's concerned for her young companion, and does her best to mitigate the effects of his "perfect plans" that she suspects might be misguided to start with. Why do her efforts seem so intent, though? Not even Twilight knows, but maybe some insight into the duo's past can shed some light on the situation. As two close friends of hers' seem to be on a collision course, Twilight has to face the harrowing truth - someone's going to be hurt, no matter how much she might try to prevent it. All she can do is rally couage - in others, and herself.
