Twilight's first act as ruler of Equestria is to recruit her friends to explore mysterious--and potentially dangerous--areas of the land. She sends Applejack, Zecora, Rockhoof, and Tempest to Zecora's home country and they learn exciting, surprising information about her. But sometimes friendship can be hard work, and that's what Zecora is discovering as she reunites with Marini, Dust Devil, Cactus Rose, Medley Brook, and Crystal. Plus, Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood are back in Ponyville and Scottaloo learns there is no right or wrong way to be a family.
