In a chance meeting, Twilight Sparkle and Spike the Dragon have an encounter with a completely gray unicorn with a completely neutral, if not completely negative outlook. He's someone she'd rather not meet again, but why can't she stop thinking about him?

Just what will Twilight find when she starts investigating this mystery colt?
