This is a story of what happens when you forget where you come from. This is the story of what happens when three friends unwittingly awaken a nightmare from Equestria's past. But most of all, this is a story about candy.

Twilight Sparkle has been a little down. Her friends have left Ponyville one by one on important errands. When a sudden invitation arrives from Pinkie Pie, informing her of a surprise party with all her friends, she's so excited by the idea she can't sleep! Celestia's cleverest student sets out early for Sugarcube Corner unaware that the 'surprise' waiting for her may not be entirely to her liking.
