By the mysterious workings of the universe and a spell gone wrong, Fredrick lands in the throne room... hard enough to knock him out. After a week in the castle medical wing to treat his wounds, he learns he will have to get used to these anthropomorphic ponies as well as cope with the fact that he will never be able to return to Earth. Being able to stay in the castle indefinitely for his troubles, Fred is able to finally, formally meet Princess Luna in a very personable setting. The two, more alike than they ever anticipated, quickly befriend each other and cherish each other's company.
Of course, as Luna's only (and naturally, best) male friend, and as Fred's best female friend, the two fall into a realm of new possibilities as they become closer with the passage of time... many benefits of knowing each other so well and being unmistakably attracted to each other, as well as the potential awkwardness and fallout of their choices given natural and political barriers in place.
Observe this tale of evolution of friendship directly and through flashbacks, piecing together an entire story of just what it means to grow to love your best friend... along with some other bullshit that doesn't actually happen to anyone.
