Almost a year after his arrival, Sketch has settled into a happy new life in Ponyville. That happiness is threatened, however, when his parents, Astor and Ginger Snap, show up unexpectedly, and with big plans for the little town. Knowing that the mere presence of his parents means trouble, Sketch tries to convince the others, but without much success. Will Astor's big plans mean the end of Ponyville? Or is Sketch overreacting?

This is the sequel to A Blank Canvas.
