This story is a sequel to Thankfulness and High Society

Or the part in between.

As “Forever Filly” and “On Your Marks” demonstrated oh-so-clearly, times have definitely changed in the Ponyverse. Sometimes those lessons have to be learned the hard and painful way. And sometimes, the “city mice” have to find their own Aesops.

For Rarity's relatives, this is the intermezzo. For the whole day, they are going to be challenging themselves, their way. On their own terms.
